Rivers and lakes rich man

Chapter 293 Only One Way
After Baihu retreated, Qin Moshi couldn't help humming a ditty.

He knew that Fang Jing was in a hurry. There was trouble on the canal, and the river was blocked. It was said that it would not be cleared within ten days and half a month.

If it is delayed for ten days, it will be fatal to Fang Jing, let alone half a month, or even more.

He felt a little bit moved by Yang Bailue's movements really fast.

Fang Jing hurried out of the city and headed south, probably because he wanted to go there.

Unfortunately, these are all in vain.

Even if Fang Jing arrived there, so what?

The river will not be unimpeded just because of his arrival.

Qin Moshi believed that Fang Jing would wake up in two days, and the grain and grass from Jiangnan East County were unreliable.

I have wasted a few days now, if I continue to waste it, the deadline will definitely pass in the end, and that is a serious crime.

From Qin Moshi's point of view, Fang Jing has only one way out right now.

It is to spend a lot of money to buy grain and grass from big grain merchants near Luoyang. There is no other way.

After Fang Jing left Luoyang for a hundred miles, he and Li Handie turned east and then north towards Cangzhou.

He let those guards continue to go south, and let two of them pretend to be himself and Li Handie.

Two people have been prepared on the way, so that there will be no fewer people.

Of course Fang Jing knew that someone would be watching his whereabouts, so let them continue to investigate and draw their attention to the canal.

With the strength of myself and Li Handie, it is still easy to avoid the eyeliner of these people.

The two traveled all the way and arrived in Cangzhou three days later.

Fang Jing found Ziyan who had arrived in Cangzhou a long time ago.

According to his request, Ziyan has rented a lot of horses and horses in the local area, and is also recruiting people.

The recruitment of manpower is not going well, so far there are only 3000 to [-] people.

According to the itinerary at sea, the ship will almost arrive in Cangzhou in two days.

Ziyan was naturally anxious, she felt that she had messed up the matter.

Fang Jing comforted her, this job is indeed very difficult.

Ziyan is currently recruiting people secretly, so as not to attract the attention of the government, but the efficiency is destined to be very low.

In fact, Fang Jing's meaning is still clear, the day before the ship arrives at the shore, there is no need to worry about whether the news is leaked, and no matter what the government's reaction is.

At that time, I will directly reveal my identity, and I am transporting food for the army of the Northern Expedition. I understand that these local officials will not dare to stop them.

Of course, this will allow Zhu Wenren to get the news soon.

But Fang Jing felt that even if Zhu Wenren got the news, it was too late.

He could make the news public and spread the news in Luoyang City. Even if Zhu Wenren wanted to do something again, he would have to use a trick.

This is the food and grass of the army. If there is no accident that leads to the defeat of the army, some of his secret methods will definitely become the opponent's handle.

Such a thing cannot be perfect.

Moreover, Zhu Wenren himself did not really prevent this batch of grain from being transported to Daying.

His purpose is actually to delay the food and grass for a few days.

This is enough to convict Fang Jing, and they can also earn a lot of money.

"Didn't you say that Zhu Bixuan would contact the local government? Why is there no movement?" Li Handie asked.

"Wait another day." Fang Jing said.

If there is no movement tomorrow, then you can only rely on yourself, and you are not afraid of being exposed. At that time, you will recruit people to transport food.

When Fang Jing had just finished speaking, Ziyan's subordinates came in to report that it was the prefect of Cangzhou Prefecture who was visiting.

"Isn't this coming?" Fang Jing laughed.

Fang Jing and Zhu Bixuan mentioned Ziyan's residence here.

Now it seems that the government in Cangzhou should be fine.

The prefect of Cangzhou came and went in a hurry. He said that he would try his best to organize 30 people to help transport grain and grass.

For this reason, Fang Jing said that he would give a certain amount of silver as wages.

This made the prefect of Cangzhou more willing to cooperate.

To be honest, he didn't want to cooperate with the news from Luoyang.

It is not a good job to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to transport food.

However, considering that the person behind the news was Princess Zhu Bixuan, he could only cooperate a little bit.

Now this Fang's business is so smart that it pays 300 million taels for a sale, and the government can intercept at least 200 million taels.

If you transport grain from Cangzhou to Daying in a hurry, it will take about two days and two nights, and it will be about the same if you give those folk husbands two taels of silver per person.

Even if it is one or two, there are too many people rushing to do it.

Fang Jing understands the truth, but now in order to make the local government more cooperative, he must give them benefits, otherwise there will still be a lot of troubles below.

He didn't care too much about several million taels of silver.

Just get this errand done.

Although Zhu Bixuan helped her save 1000 million taels, the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce actually cost close to [-] million taels when all the various expenses in the transportation process were added up.

Those boats on the canal are rented, and the trackers are recruited with real money.

Moreover, the shipping ships belonged to the chamber of commerce. In order to transport grain, the goods of other chambers of commerce were delayed, and the loss was not small.

The power of silver is still obvious. Two days later, nearly 40 people gathered at Cangzhou Wharf.

These are all peasants who came to deliver food and grass, which is 30 more than the [-] mentioned before.

The prefect of Cangzhou has also done his best. Apart from these civilian husbands, he also brought most of the chariots and horses from Mingzhou.

Seeing more than 300 large ships docking at sea, the people at the dock were shocked.

"It's really rare in my life." Cangzhou prefect looked at such a huge fleet and sighed.

These ships on the sea are not comparable to the boats in the river, and there are more than 300 ships, most of which are large ships in the sea. Few people in the world can see such a scene.

"That's right, this Fang's business name really lives up to its reputation."

"Wealthy and powerful."

The subordinates around the prefect of Cangzhou said one after another.

"This matter has to be done well. It is related to the food and grass of the army. There must be no mistakes." The prefect of Cangzhou said in a deep voice.

"Your subordinate will personally escort you."

The prefect of Cangzhou nodded.

This Fang family business is really the God of Wealth. This trip, how can he, the magistrate, get 50 taels of silver, and the rest of the people below are all satisfied.

Regarding this, of course he did not dare to neglect Fang Jing.

Of course the people below also understand this truth.

What kind of army rations are not comparable to the benefits I can get during this ration transportation.

With a short hand, especially since Fang Jing is so generous, he naturally has to give face, doesn't he?

"Lord Fang, if there are not enough manpower, I can find a way to recruit some more." The prefect of Cangzhou walked quickly to Fang Jing and said.

Fang Jing is not only the chairman of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce, but also the governor of Wulinwei Town.

This official position made him a little in awe.

In particular, Fang Jing obviously has a very close relationship with the princess. After completing this errand, it will be a great achievement.

At that time, the princess will still speak for him, and most likely he will be promoted.

Whether it's for the sake of the other party's God of Wealth or the other party's official position, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in finding a way to make friends with him.
