Northern Dynasties

Li Xiaoyong led the Chang'an Tribes to Longyou from Chencang Narrow Road, and plundered Guangming Temple with the cooperation of Zhang Shinu and others, but they did not stay in Longyou to meet Li Tai, but under the cover of Li Tai Xia escorted the spoils and quietly returned to Guanzhong.

As a famous temple in Longyou, Guangming Temple has abundant reserves. Although the most valuable treasures were swept away by Li Xiaoyong and the others, the remaining treasures are still quite considerable.

After Li Tai took over the remaining industrial property of Guangming Temple, he invested most of it in the construction of Sifang City, and built a platform for long-term and stable interaction with the Longyou nobles.

As for the loot brought back by Li Xiaoyong and others, it is naturally also the net income of this operation, and the amount is also very considerable.Although most of them are gold, jade, jewelry, high-grade pigments, and spices, but with a stable sales channel like the Great Buddha Temple in Northern Shaanxi, the value of these goods that are not easy to be realized can also be directly converted into value, about 30 Gao Ao Between Cao.

This kind of harvest is not as good as the one that looted the Hongfa Temple before. After all, the action was too hasty. In order to ensure mobility, Li Xiaoyong and the others naturally did not maximize their carrying capacity accordingly.

Of course, this is not something to be regretted, after all, Li Tai even packed up his old nest, and the income of Hongfa Temple that time had to be distributed by various parties, but this time he ate it all by himself, naturally he was very fat.

However, this kind of thing can be done in two ways. If you often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, doing it once in a while is rewarding, but doing too much is inappropriate. It is not a long-term stable profit.

Now that Li Tai's family business is more powerful, and the scope of the industrial layout is getting wider and wider, the consumption is naturally greater, so no amount of income can be too much.

If one wants to obtain the windfall income of doubling assets, there is still a ready-made opportunity right now, and that is war wealth.

Although the army of the Western Wei Dynasty suffered heavy losses after the Battle of Mangshan, there were no large-scale wars in the next few years, and the people's livelihood recovered gratifyingly. Year after year, the small people gradually expected to have enough food and clothing, while the tyrants who owned land and manors had enough to spare. .

Before Li Tai went to Longyou, taking advantage of sending his wife back to Huazhou, he told the family members staying in Shangyuan to expand the scale of grain processing in Luoshui, and even provided free transport capacity to expand the coverage.

In addition to directly obtaining profits through grain processing industries such as 碓硙, his other purpose is to expand his influence in the countryside and enhance his ability to absorb local resources.

Nowadays, the textile industry in the entire Wuxiang County is in full-scale large-scale production. The increased production of cloth is in need of high-quality goods to maintain its purchasing power. Guanzhong has been thriving year after year, and grain has undoubtedly become a very important store of value.

Although the relatively high taxation system of the Western Wei Dynasty made it difficult for small households to have surplus food even in a bumper harvest, many powerful local manor owners were not restricted by this. All family property is on food, and other types of storage need to be added to increase the stability of wealth.

Even without considering the impact of the battle of Yubi in the second half of the year on the people's livelihood in Guanzhong, food is also a very important strategic reserve resource.

Li Tai has also been purchasing and storing grain, especially this year, the scale has increased greatly. Not only the textile output of the people from Shangyuan Township has been invested in it, but Li Xiaoyong and the others have also invested in all their harvest in Longyou this time.

Although this year's Grand Reading was held ahead of schedule to slightly increase the grain price in Guanzhong, and Li Tai's generous purchases further pushed up the market, the fluctuations are not too great.

After all, in the context of successive years of bumper harvests, the people were quite confident and did not blindly join in the looting and hoarding of grain, and what Li Tai absorbed was mainly the stored grain of the big manor owners, and the proportion of these grains flowing into the market was relatively high. limited.Of course, the more important thing is that it is already early autumn, and the new grain will be harvested in a short time.

After several months of buying, Li Tai now has as much as 800 million shi of grain in Guanzhong.Yao recalled that when he first entered this township, the tribal members had problems eating, and were quite worried because they owed the county government 800 shi of grain, but now in only half a year, they have already controlled more than [-] million shi of grain.

Of course, this number is still a bit short of the 1000 million stones he originally expected, but it is still enough for a 20 army to consume for a year.

But this is only theoretical data, because the grain is still distributed between Luoshui and the counties along the Jingwei. Under the condition that the roads in the customs are unblocked, the transportation capacity is sufficient and the goods are not transported outside the customs.

But even with a discount, these grains are more than enough to be consumed before and after the Battle of Yubi in the second half of the year.Based on this alone, Li Tai can even say without exaggeration that only he, Li Boxan, has the final say on whether Guanzhong will be in chaos in the next six months, Gao Huan and Yu Wentai are nothing!

Because the buying and selling of these grains are all transactions with large manor owners who are extremely self-sufficient, and the flow of these materials is completely out of the control of the government. In addition, information between regions is not circulated, so Li Tai is not worried. His rich family background will be exposed and coveted.

Of course, not all of these grains belonged to him. The big households in the Qumeng in Wuxiang County and the northern Shaanxi Hu chieftains such as the Diaoyin Liu family also had shares, and Li Tai's proportion was less than half.

With these grains in hand, the interest rate difference in the second half of the year alone is a considerable profit. Gao Huan will hate Yubi. Li Tai knows it, but others don't.

Even if there is a relatively optimistic judgment, it is a natural choice to prepare materials to prepare for the harsh situation.The government has its own channels to raise supplies, and the tyrants of the people naturally have to prepare for chaos.

And even if there is new food this autumn to temporarily solve the urgent need, there will be a series of dizzying changes in the situation, and the Western Wei Dynasty will also embark on the road of rapid expansion. It's been an uptrend situation.

Even if Li Tai had such foresight before, he still couldn't handle such a big game, but now with his official position and strength, he really has to say, Guanzhong Liangwang, who else is better than me!I not only have food but also a gun, who dares to treat me as a granary!
Just hoarding and reselling spreads naturally couldn't satisfy Li Tai, and since then, including the Western Wei Dynasty, it has been very rare to have such a considerable amount of food in a certain period of time. Naturally, a relatively long-term layout is required.

The market and trade environment in Guanzhong is not healthy, the scale and volume are very small, and there are many cases of forced buying and selling.This situation has both advantages and disadvantages for Li Tai. The disadvantage is that large-scale transactions are still restricted. The advantage is that who said that I can't be the one who buys and sells?
Therefore, in the second half of the year, while the relatively tense military situation is used to realize part of the grain and ensure dividends, the focus is to obtain more high-quality local resources, Heqiao Road Jinzelin mineral deposits, etc.

Although his power alone is not enough to cover the entire Guanzhong, but with the hard currency of food, he can either collude with the government to suppress the powerful, or collude with the powerful to lift the government. In short, he can build a wide industrial network according to local conditions.

As for further ideas, he has no idea for the time being, because he doesn't know what kind of bird he will turn into in this level. In short, as long as the more resources he masters, he will be able to deal with new opportunities after encountering new opportunities. The greater the benefits for grabbing.

In the past, because Li Tai was worried that Yongzhou and other places might be too powerful, he only dared to retreat to the front line of Luoshui to develop, but now he has less scruples. He took out a map to mark a few places he chose to collect wind along the Weishui River. Instruct Li Xiaoyong to find a way to get the money and grain after they are in place, and build a warehouse to build a logistics route connecting Longyou.

He is still imagining the big plan of buying the entire Guanzhong with grain, but a tense and dignified atmosphere began to spread rapidly in the Xianyang camp.

"Boshan, something is wrong!"

Yu Wenhu, who had been working on big plans for the past two days, came to the camp in a hurry, looked at Li Tai with a serious face and said, and motioned him to enter the account to explain in detail.

However, before the two of them had time to enter the tent and sit down, there was another sound of horseshoes outside the camp, and several close relatives in the Daxing tent rode their horses into the camp, looked at Li Tai seriously and said: "The Lord is going to Li Kai's mansion quickly. Discuss military affairs in the big account of the Chinese army."

Li Tai knew what had happened in his heart, he nodded after hearing the words, and ordered his steed to be brought over.Yu Wenhu looked up at the knights and said, "What about me? Did the Lord summon me?"

The confidant governor was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then said after a while: "The lord sent all the pawns to pass the order, and the last general waited for the order to attract Li Kaifu..."

After Yu Wenhu heard this, he didn't say anything more, but got on his mount again, and seeing that Li Tai had already got on the horse, he said with a serious expression: "Since the envoy has arrived, what he did must be for me. If you want to tell you something, go together!"
