Whether it is Guan Zhong’s technique or economic colonization, the routines are basically the same.

In the early stage, a large amount of cost must be invested to cultivate and support agents or interest groups, so as to unknowingly disintegrate the enemy and allow the enemy to follow his own design.

Just wait until the time is right before harvesting.

If you want to implement this routine, you must have a prerequisite.

That is, one's own strength must be strong enough, whether it is economic strength or military strength.

To put it more bluntly, you have to be tough to make iron.

If it is done halfway and cannot continue due to the weakening of its own strength, the investment in other countries in the early stage will really be like cutting meat to feed dogs.

Maybe it will be backlashed in the end.

Of course, if the enemy can be successfully harvested, the harvest will be huge.

Even if it cannot destroy the country, it can at least enslave other countries for its own use, or make the enemy country fall into chaos without fighting.

Fortunately, the current Han Dynasty is a powerful country for Wu.

The population, economy, and military are all superior to those of Wu.

More importantly, after regaining Guanzhong and Hedong, the war potential of the Han Dynasty will sooner or later be the highest among the Three Kingdoms.

War potential depends not only on who has more resources.

It also depends on who can conduct war mobilization better and who can use domestic resources more efficiently.

From this point of view, the Han Dynasty has already opened a considerable distance from Wu and Wei.

At least ten years ago, Governor Feng had already begun to try to restore the township pavilion system of the former Han Dynasty, or the former Qin Dynasty.

After more than ten years of military career and more than ten years of continuous promotion of schools in local areas, he has trained a large number of grassroots cadres.

Retired military veterans and students from local schools who failed to pass the Royal Academy are the nerve endings for the government to control the local area.

From Nanzhong to Longyou and then to Liangzhou, their presence is everywhere.

If we say that the two countries of Wei and Wu, which were completely controlled by powerful families, were like patients with malignant tumors.

Such a big man is a young man who has successfully undergone surgery and is recovering.

Fifteen years ago, in order to raise more food, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to recruit civilians to clean up Dujiangyan when the country was at its weakest.

Weir officers were even specially set up, leading thousands and two hundred soldiers to patrol the water conservancy.

This unprecedented move is also a helplessness.

After all, the economic lifeline of the Shu Han Dynasty at that time was in the hands of aristocratic families.

Without money and food, how can we talk about fighting in the north and south?

Who could have expected that fifteen years later, the Shu family would feel like crying as they looked at the increase in grain production every year and the tightly suppressed grain prices.

After so many years of training, the Shu family has become docile.

Farming and mulberry trees are the foundation of the country. In such a large area of ​​cultivated land as the Shu plain, it has been stipulated long ago where food should be grown and where mulberry trees should be planted.

Anyone who dares to plant sugar cane, tea trees, etc. will have the government come to their door the next day.

As for such things as low prices hurting farmers, of course there is no such thing.

Because the government has a guaranteed minimum price for grain, Xinghanhui can even buy it for two to three cents, or even four to five cents, above the guaranteed minimum price.

Anyway, we definitely won’t let everyone farm at a loss.

Just tell me whether you want to sell it or not!

"If the price of your food is right, we will definitely sell it!"

The dock warehouse outside Jincheng is also the largest stronghold of the Xinghan Hui in Shu.

Today, this stronghold welcomed many guests: Li family, Zhang family, Zhao family, Huang family...

Every high-ranking family in Shu sends out a person who can make decisions.

Hearing Deng Liang sitting in the main seat, looking at the noise below, he smiled very respectfully:

"After so many years, who doesn't know that we in Xinghan can do things very authentically? In which year was the price of grain collected by us not higher than others?"

That’s because besides selling to the government, I can only sell to you, okay?!

Over the years, the government relied on the support of Xinghanhui's pastures and rented a large number of cattle to Mudlegs every year.

The legs of the eight-oxen plow are not useful, but the curved-shaft plow is most suitable for small households.

After so many years of war, it may be an exaggeration to say that the population has been reduced to 1 out of 10, but it is definitely true to say that it has dropped by 60 to 70%.

In addition, the Prime Minister has been vigorously building water conservancy projects, and over the years, foreign wars have been successful.

This allowed the government to control a large amount of wasteland, which could allocate land to mud-legged people on a large scale, and the taxes were not high.

The most important thing is that only families with registered residence can send their children to school.

This can be regarded as the greatest benevolent policy of the Han Emperor. As for whether anyone is gnashing their teeth secretly, who cares?

Wealthier farmers now even raise chickens and ducks.

With so much hope, who would want to be a hermit?

What’s the point of having more grain in a big house?

Thinking of the fact that many wealthy families went to Nanxiang to do grain business in recent years, but in the end their families were ruined, many people said "poof" in their hearts:

The government and businessmen collude and bully the officials. Do you still have the nerve to say that you are doing things honestly?

"It's because I knew Xinghan would do things honestly, so when I heard that we were preparing to collect grain in large quantities, I rushed over here in a hurry!"

Someone is laughing with you:

"I wonder how much grain you would like to collect?"

Deng Liang gave the other party a meaningful look and said slowly:

"Don't worry, this meeting is not to go to Nanxiang to list the listing, but to inform everyone directly. The meaning is very clear:

This time we will only collect grain from the families present and will not collect grain from grain merchants in other places."

"really?"

Most of the people present couldn't help but beam with joy after hearing this.

In other words, this time, everyone doesn’t have to go to the Nanxiang Exchange to compete with grain merchants from all over the place?

Then they saw Deng Liang extend a slap and continued:

"The old grain I bought this time can be 30% higher than the grain price at Nanxiang Exchange. If you are willing to write the deed now, next year's grain price can be 50% higher."

"hiss!"

Everyone took a breath of cold air, making the temperature in the room a little colder.

"really!"

This time, it was not just a few questions, but most people spoke in unison.

Seeing this, Deng Liang smiled slightly again, and then stretched out three fingers:

"Three copies of the deed, one for each party and one for the government."

In other words, is this thing true?

If you want to break the contract, you will destroy the reputation accumulated by the Xinghan Society and the government over the years.

Everyone looked at each other, none of them recovered from the shock.

Someone swallowed and asked carefully:

"I dare to ask Deng Langjun, does Feng...er, Feng Huishou know about this?"

Counting from the day Feng Guiwang came out of the mountain, I don't know how many people have written down this person's dark accounts in their notebooks.

However, over the years, everyone's morale has become shorter and shorter, and many people even suffer from "Ghost King Fear".

After so many years of suffering, and suddenly getting such a huge benefit, people can't believe it at first.

Of course, there are also people who have other ideas:

King Feng Gui has been isolated from news for most of the year. Even if it is possible to enter Chang'an now, considering the distance between Guanzhong and Jincheng, it is impossible for the news between the two places to spread so quickly.

In this case, unless this matter was discussed in advance, someone made the decision on his own without King Feng Gui's knowledge.

So... is it possible that there is a second leader of the Xinghan Society?

But Deng Liang said leisurely: "Don't worry, everyone, how could my brother not know about such a big thing?"

Well, I hope he doesn't know.

Huh?

wrong.

If this matter is really a decision made by King Feng Gui in advance.

Doesn't that mean that King Feng Gui had already decided on this matter at least a year ago, that is, before the expedition?

Thinking of King Feng Gui's foresight, more people became more hesitant:

What is Ghost King Feng planning?

Deng Liang was greatly surprised when everyone suddenly stopped talking:

Such a good thing, why do you behave like this?

"Deng Langjun, over the years, we have interacted not once or twice. Everyone here has some friendship."

"Can you tell everyone what this deal is all about?"

Isn't that right? Over the past few years, most of the grain harvested by everyone has been sold to the Xinghan Hui.
To be continued...
