Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 2 Order
As soon as Gu Ji said this, Wufeng's face became extremely serious, and he stared at Gu Ji's face for a long time before he could say a word: "How sure is your prediction?"
As the owner of the two largest private book collection institutions in the imperial capital, Wu Feng naturally knew that Gu Ji had a very close personal relationship with many scholars in the academic circles of the imperial capital. watch for.
"I've asked myself this point several times, and I've also discussed it with several authoritative scholars in the empire who often come to my study, but I still haven't come to an accurate judgment. The comments made by Tianji are very likely to lead to social turmoil. No matter how confident anyone is, he dare not make arbitrary assertions, so I can only say that based on the opinions of many people, I tend to have this situation this year. As for the certainty, My opinion is 50-50." Seeing Wufeng Lai Ningse getting serious, Gu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the other party pays enough attention, it is enough, as for how to make a decision and respond, it is up to him The coach has his own ideas.
"Five-five-five? This is enough to shock the world. If your prediction becomes a reality, the entire Eastern Continent will face food shortages. Whether it is the Empire, Maqihan, Milan, or even the three northern countries, wars have continued in recent years The Kamans, Machihans, Puers, and even the Milanese are all expanding their armies, and their demand for food and fodder has increased exponentially. However, the strategic food reserves of various countries are not sufficient, so they can only be meager. To deal with an ordinary war, if there is a big war, you need to buy it from the people. If there is a big disaster, it is not enough to resist, and it will definitely lead to chaos and disaster in the entire Eastern Continent." Wufeng pondered, " Our Northwest is not the main grain-producing area, and we cannot take this risk, we must store and hoard the necessary grain.”
"But my lord, you have to think carefully. If you store and hoard, the quantity will definitely not be small, and the price of grain will definitely rise. Once the grain harvest continues this year, the price of grain will fall, and the loss will be huge. What's more, my lord's Northern Luzon is adjacent to Indian and Luzon, which are important grain-producing areas in the middle mainland, so even if there is a famine in the eastern mainland, you can buy food from the middle mainland to meet the emergency." Gu Ji was still a little hesitant. Although he thought in his heart that the possibility of a famine in the Eastern Continent this year was extremely high, he did not dare to rule out that the famine might be postponed to next year. If he made a wrong judgment, the loss would definitely not be a small amount.
"Because of this, I have to intensify my efforts to store and hoard food, not only to store food in the Empire and the Eastern Continent, but also to purchase and stockpile food in the Central Continent. It can only be revealed when it arrives." A sly smile appeared on Wufeng's face, "Perhaps the effect of these food will be greater than that of the army."
If Gu Ji realized something, "Your Excellency, you still want to buy grain in the Middle Mainland, but India and the Andean countries are important grain-producing areas. It may be extremely difficult for you to control the grain in the Middle Mainland." , it is almost impossible in my opinion."
"Hey, I didn't say that I want to control the food in the entire middle continent. I just want to increase the price of food in the central and northern parts of the middle continent, so that some countries can't buy enough food at that time, so I have to Don’t pay the price from other aspects. Although India is a major grain-producing area, it has a large population, frequent floods and droughts, and there is not much private surplus grain. It does not cost much money to purchase private surplus grain in India. The grain output of Ni and Pasha is huge, and it will take some money to control it. But it is also worth it. According to what you said, once there is a famine in the Eastern Continent, the demand for this food will be huge, and the famine in the Eastern Continent It is very likely to last for two or three years, and the amount of food required during this period is an astronomical figure, so even if you spend more money, the benefits will be far greater than the expenditure." Wu Feng seemed to have reached a conclusion in his mind, and began to speak It is also very certain.
"Your Excellency's mention of some countries refers to the northern countries and the Maqihan people?" Gu Ji has seen the subtleties, and has been keenly aware of Wufeng's thinking.
"Hey, except for the Kamans who have some savings in the northern countries, they have consumed a lot due to their rapid military expansion in the past two years, and they have also provided a lot of food and funds to the Sithrows and Puers. The domestic food reserves have also dropped to the lowest level in recent years. Now I not only want to control the food in the Indian and Andean countries, but also send people to these countries to collect their civilians. When the time comes, I want to see where they get the food!" Thinking of this, Wufeng couldn't help grinning, "As for the Machihans, they may be more troublesome. Now they control the more Beijing, Ankun, and Jemelo, these two places can provide more grain sources. Even if I buy grain within the empire and the Machihan, at most it will raise the price of grain. Smart will definitely have a considerable amount of strategic food reserves, at most it will make them suffer financially, and it will not be easy to drag them down."
Gu Ji did not expect that Wufeng had even considered the issue on the heads of the northern countries of Liberia. Hearing what the other party said, the amount of funds involved was by no means just a simple figure. I have obtained a lot of funds in India, but if I want to carry out such a large acquisition plan, I am afraid that I have more than enough energy, "My lord, have you calculated the amount of funds needed during this period?"
"Well, I know this is not a small amount, but there are still two or three months left, as long as we hurry up and prepare carefully, we can achieve our goal." Wufeng nodded, "You don't have to worry about it." I am worried about the funding problem. The funds obtained by Indian Dean have not been used. Now is the time to play a role. In addition, there are many financial institutions in Northwest and Kansai. We can borrow in the name of the government. Hehe, there seem to be many financial institutions Is the organization determined to enter Northern Luzon and the Western Regions? Well, as a test of their sincerity, I can ask them to provide low-interest loans to the Northwest and Kansai counties in exchange for a large-scale foundation. The construction of the facilities will only take a year at most." Wu Feng is confident about this, "Gu Ji, your Gu family can also participate in this game, and I plan to let us in the northwest Big businessmen can participate in this game, and the beauty of this game is that the more people who participate, the better, but it is best for the participants to be our allies, so that it can be effective.”
Gu Ji nodded. In fact, when Wufeng decided to implement this plan, he had already decided to participate in this plan. Take it to the next level.
"My lord, if you want to carry out this plan, I'm afraid the sooner the better, it's best to carry it out immediately, the more difficult it will be in the later stage, and the more funds will be needed." Gu Ji has made up his mind, so he will not stop hesitate.
"Well, today I will send a letter back to the Northwest and Kansai with a snow pigeon, ordering Xiaotang and the Kansai prefectures to use various funds to purchase and reserve first, hoping to make it in time." Wu Feng also felt that at this time a little It's a little urgent, and the time is already a little short, but I can't take care of it at this time.
"Don't worry, my lord. Whether it's Wuhu, Jiangnan, or Donghai, there are only a few large food households in each county. You can arrange for a deposit to make a reservation. You only need to place an order. These merchants It will naturally work immediately, you must not underestimate these businessmen, their efficiency is many times faster than that of the government." Gu Ji is very proficient in these shopping malls.
"Well, this matter really cannot be delayed. It needs to mobilize all forces to fully launch ~IndoMTL.com~ especially in Jiangnan and Wuhu." Wu Feng has already stood up and started pacing.
"My lord, according to the information obtained, the Japanese have attacked the Dotons. It is estimated that the target is the Cook Islands of the Dotons. However, according to the news from the Japanese mainland, it seems that the Japanese army has also carried out emergency mobilization. And the number is very large, and even the reserve soldiers are starting to recruit, which seems a bit wrong, does the Cook Islands need to use so many troops? The Dortons do not have a large number of troops in the Cook Islands." By the way, Gu Ji fed back the news he had just obtained to Wufeng.
"Oh? Army mobilization? Reserve?" Wufeng was also surprised. The ambition of the Japanese is well known, but what does it mean for the large-scale mobilization of the army? login? Wufeng thought carefully about the weirdness here, "Is the main force of the Dorton army gathered at the border with Yanyun County?"
"Well, according to intelligence, the Poole people have had close contacts with the Dorton people during this period. It is estimated that the Poole people are persuading the Dorton people to send troops to the south together, but the Dorton people are still hesitating, maybe they are still making deals with Situtai. Not necessarily." Gu Ji analyzed based on his own intelligence, although he missed, it was not far behind.
Wufeng's heart moved, "Gu Ji, you said that the Japanese chose to attack at this time, how will the Doton people respond? Who will benefit?"
Gu Ji hesitated, thought for a moment before saying: "Your Excellency, you mean that Situ Tai and the Japanese colluded to deal with the pressure from the Doton people?"
Shaking his head, Wufeng frowned and muttered: "Situ Tai will not know the character of the Japanese, but in this case, Situ Tai is not a kind person, so he might make such a dangerous move, but I prefer them to be a temporary deal, and it would be an expedient measure to direct the disaster of the Japanese to Dorton."
