Chapter 957 Panicked Xiqi
And the land that should have been used to grow food is all abandoned. After all, the Lanyou Grassland is not a high-value item in the first place. No wonder there is a shortage of food!
People who were supposed to grow food all went to the workshop to make those rare earthen pottery. The few plots of land in their own homes have turned into orchid grass. There were some harvests at first, but now there is no harvest at all.
There was still some grain in Xiqi's original granary, but due to the need to deal with the big merchants, the number of Xiqi's army continued to increase, and the grain could not sustain the war at all, and could barely cope with daily consumption.
If Xi Qi lays off the army now, it may be effective, but the army that has been built with great difficulty is originally an army that can stand out in the world, and it is impossible for Ji Fa to give up.
Fortunately, they made some money planting orchid grass and making Xiqi clay pottery during this period, so they should spend the money to buy food, which is also a helpless move.
However, when Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya were about to buy grain, the Emperor issued another edict, which wiped out Ji Fa's hopes, that is, prohibiting trade between big merchants and Xiqi, and not doing business with rebels.
As soon as the decree came out, Dashang closed all the gates and strictly prohibited any caravans from entering or leaving, and civilians were only allowed to enter but not to leave. Merchants in Dashang were not allowed to do business with the outside world during this period, and could only do business in Dashang. Business, if violated, will destroy its nine clans.
At the same time, all the gates have been closed. If the southeastern princes want to trade, they must abide by the regulations and be approved by the prime minister. Moreover, strict restrictions have been imposed on the types of trade. Jiang Hengchu was also directly targeted for economic sanctions.
Only then did Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya wake up, alas!All of this is the method of the Emperor. From the very beginning, the things that the Empress likes spread throughout the world almost instantly, until the Emperor took the lead to make these things popular among the big merchants.
Then it caused Xiqi to start planting orchid grass, farmers began to make Xiqi's clay pottery, and then agriculture was abandoned. Later, the emperor denied these three things, and the prices of the three things plummeted. Until now, trade is prohibited. Which of these is not a well-planned strategy?
Every detail is done so carefully, interlocking, relying on money means, and then attacking the enemy, I have never heard of it, and the effect is so strong, it is worse than a real fight. To be powerful, it easily destroyed the economy and livelihood of Xiqi and the north, and also controlled the two regions of the east and the south.
Even if it was Jiang Ziya, he felt that he was superior in strategy, and he couldn't help sweating from the back. The figure of that stalwart appeared in his mind, and his heart was extremely cold. This is the tiger, right?Even if he fell asleep, it would be terribly scary. The tiger has woken up now. In fact, Jiang Ziya didn't know that the tiger in his heart had never slept at all!
Faced with this situation, Ji Fa was helpless, but at the beginning, he also tacitly allowed the people to plant orchid grass and make Xiqi clay pottery. He wanted to make more money and military expenses, but now he was beaten back by the other party. out of shape.
Thinking of Jiang Ziya's persuasion that he should not abandon agriculture that day, he couldn't help regretting, but now regretting is useless. The key is how to find a solution to the lack of food. If there is no food, the consequences will be disastrous, and Xiqi's army will be finished.
Jiang Ziya's solution is to find some wild things first for emergency use. Another solution is to find a way to buy food and raise food from the east and south at the same time.
