please make me king

Chapter 598 Plan ahead
Zhang Shenyan proposed three strategies in a row, but he was a little out of his wits.Originally in a hurry, being able to come up with a solution was already a big deal, but Zhang Shun didn't mean to blame him.

Instead, after Zhang Shenyan opened his mind, Zhang Shun also thought of a way.He didn't laugh and said: "Mr. Zhang said so, I have come up with a way."

"In the past two days, I met a businessman named Wang Qingzhi, who not only sold me [-] shi of grain, but also sold some gunpowder and military equipment."

"After understanding, we know that even the most lucrative salt industry, the profit is only about [-]% to [-]%. Although my grain is not as profitable as the salt industry, it is worse than bulk goods. You can pay as soon as you arrive. .”

"In this case, why don't I take the opportunity to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with these merchants. After the two parties have initially established trust, I will place an order with him. For example, next time I will be shipped a few stones of grain, and I will eat it at the price. This will ensure that the purchase of grain will not become a one-off deal."

Zhang Shenyan and Hong Niangzi couldn't help but be amazed when they heard this, they never expected that Zhang Shun would learn the tricks after only being in contact with these people for a few days.

In fact, this matter is what they thought was wrong.When Zhang Shun was working on the construction site in his previous life, he was already used to buying and selling these bulky goods.

It's just that he didn't think about it at first, but now that he thinks about it, he naturally has other thoughts and calculations.

When the three of them talked about this, they talked about the same thing.Seeing that the red lady was yawning continuously and feeling quite unwell, Zhang Shenyan resigned quickly.

Zhang Shun hurriedly sent him outside the door himself, and ordered Wang Jinyi to lead a few people to escort him all the way to Zhang Shenyan's residence, so he was relieved.

In fact, Zhang Shun discussed with Zhang Shenyan and Hong Niangzi for a long time, and he himself understood.If I am going to use food to promote change and intensify the conflict between Houjin and the Ming border army, I still take it for granted.

However, I have to buy food left and right, and if I have dates or not, I will lose nothing.

Especially as a person of later generations, he vaguely remembered that it seemed to be mentioned in the textbooks of his previous life that in the last years of a dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters often intersected, the people were in dire straits, and people ate each other.Although he doesn't remember what happened at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it's not much different.

Not to mention the memory of the previous life, but over the years, Daming's situation has not been much better.

According to "Chuang Wang", "Chuang Jiang" and others, the land of Yansui, the hometown of most of the rebels, has been suffering from severe drought for nine consecutive years; according to Wang Qingzhi, Datong Town, one of the nine borders, has also experienced continuous severe drought It took seven years, and it just got better in the past two years.

This thing is like buying stocks, bullish and bearish, each depends on skill and luck.

Although Zhang Shun didn't know his ability and luck, he was sure that Daming's luck would not be good.

If there is a bumper harvest every year, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, how can there be rebels in the border areas, fleeing to several provinces, and even changing the dynasty?

If I can't do short-term, I will do long-term.It’s not a loss to throw food in your hands. Can you, Daming and Houjin, survive this year, next year, and the year after?
As long as the year is not good, it will eventually wear you down, and maybe the million shi of grain you bought yourself will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Even if it can't be delayed across Daming and Houjin, it will be under the influence of each other.Wouldn't it be great if he had accumulated so much food and used it to gather hundreds of thousands of troops and crush them openly?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun's thoughts were clear, and even his steps became much lighter.

When Zhang Shun returned to the living room, the red lady had disappeared.Zhang Shun was about to shout, but Jian'er heard the movement, and quickly shouted: "Master, Madam is in the back room!"

Zhang Shunsheng was afraid that the red lady might make a mistake, so he ran in quickly.He looked up and saw the red lady lying there with a pale face.

Zhang Shun quickly asked: "Lady, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, just a little dizzy." The red lady replied weakly, "In the past, I had a body of iron, rode a strong horse, and drew a strong bow. I didn't expect that one day, I would be so weak. "

Zhang Shun was running around anxiously, not knowing how to help.Seeing this, the red lady couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "Master, don't turn around. I was dizzy at first, but if I keep turning around, I would faint directly. I'm really busy these days, just sit and accompany me Let's talk for a while!"

"Then let me peel an orange for you!" Zhang Shun hurriedly called Jian'er to pass him an orange.

As the saying goes, "Oranges grown in Huaibei are trifoliate oranges, and oranges grown in Huainan are oranges." Tangerines are a fruit native to China, with a history of three or four thousand years of cultivation.

Due to the variety and climate, most of them grew in the south of the Yangtze River in this era.Traditional autumn oranges mature around October to November.

It just so happened that Li Baihu went to Huguang to buy grain, and when he saw this, he specially bought some half-baked oranges, chopped off the branches and fruits, and brought some back for Li Xiang and Zhang Shun to try.

Zhang Shun didn't care much about this, and Li Xiang sent some more.It has been stored for a long time, and almost all of them are cooked.

Don't look at the virtuous appearance of the red lady, in fact, the people in the borderlands lack the attitude of a little girl and have more boldness.

She also didn't understand what the hell it was for Zhang Shun to peel the oranges for herself, but even though the oranges hadn't reached her mouth yet, she felt a little sweet in her heart.

Zhang Shun peeled off the orange, separated the orange petals one by one, then peeled off the white tendons from the orange petals, and stuffed it into the red lady's mouth.

The red lady ate one petal happily, and Zhang Shun stuffed another petal, just like an old sparrow feeding a young sparrow.

Feed one and eat the other, after a while the red lady ate up the whole orange.

Looking at Zhang Shun's empty hands, the red lady blushed, and she couldn't help apologizing a little bit embarrassedly: "Master, I'm greedy and forgot to leave you a few petals. Why don't you let Jian'er take some for you?" you eat?"

Zhang Shun waved his hand lightly, and said with a smile, "What's it worth? What fresh fruit has your husband never eaten? Are you still thinking about it?"

Zhang Shun's old man, Hong Niangzi, has almost inquired about it.Although she and Li Sanniang had some differences, fortunately, neither of them were the ones who cared about every detail. Li Sanniang had also told her about Zhang Shun's embarrassing things.

Before Zhang Shun raised his troops, he was also a master who had never traveled far.On weekdays, I am afraid that apart from Li Sanniang picking some wild fruits for him, or stealing some dates and persimmons from other people's homes to eat, there is no other good food.

The red lady's heart was so touched that she couldn't help but soften her heart a little bit.It happened that there was something she wanted to say to Zhang Shun these few days, so she took the opportunity to mention: "I haven't been feeling well lately, and sometimes I'm panting when I walk. Did you just discuss buying grain?" , I almost couldn’t hold it anymore, let alone offer advice.”

"Recently, Li Xiang has been to Baodu Village for so long. I don't know why he hasn't returned it yet? It doesn't matter if Sanniang is allowed to come back. I don't feel relieved to hand over the money and food in the camp to outsiders. If they can be the first Take care of me for a few months, and when I recover, it won't be too late to take over."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he didn't know what the red lady meant. There was also a worry that she couldn't express.Now "Chuang Wang", "Chuang General", "Eight Great Kings" and "Living Cao Cao" are all there. Except for the position of "Chuang General", the other three have more or less acquainted with Hong Niangzi.

If she stays in the city for a long time, she is not afraid of [-], just in case, if someone recognizes her, there will be troubles among the rebels who already have different ideas.
