First of all, the first method is the idea of ​​growing food in the dream world that he has already had.

Since he opened an experimental field in the dream world, he went back and looked at it. Unfortunately, the food crops were growing vigorously. However, because Zhang Bai didn't understand sowing at all, rice and millet grew together in a mess, just like weeds. .

Zhang Bai had no choice but to try to use the upgraded version of Yun Guixian to merge Muniu's Dream World Datian into the Demon City Dream World.

Somewhat unexpectedly, this merger was easily successful, and in the dream world, a large piece of farmland appeared east of the river.

What’s even more interesting is that this farmland does not require Zhang Bai to take care of it.

Because this is the dream world of the wooden cow. As long as the wooden cow is dragged into the dream world and equipped with farm tools, the wooden cow will happily plow the fields and even sow and transplant rice with its mouth.

It seems that this cow has not been in the field for a long time. This time it is very excited and its work efficiency is very high.

Coupled with the abundant spiritual energy in the dream world, work in the grain fields is progressing very smoothly.This made Zhang Bai feel confident that the yield per mu here would definitely be huge.

Another approach is more direct.

The divine consciousness Wang Yanke has already found out where the Zhao family's grain is stored.Most of them are gathered in the suburban manors west of Jinguan City.Rows of granaries and huge cellars were built there.It is said that there are more than 500 private soldiers in the manor, closely guarding it.

Zhang Bai laughed after hearing this, took back the smoker, and let the wooden cat go to investigate instead.

The Zhao family didn't know Zhang Bai well. They only knew that Zhang Bai was a boy in his teens. At most, they knew that Zhang Bai was a child of an aristocratic family. He was quite knowledgeable and was appreciated by the prime minister.

However, they never expected that they would encounter a tough situation this time.You must know that Zhang Bai was a person who once stole military rations from the Sasanian army in Persia. Thousands of troops came over, but one Zhao family and hundreds of servants were still far away from him.

Therefore, in Zhang Bai's eyes, the food gathered by the Zhao family is just like his own.It also saves him having to go everywhere to collect, because the food that was originally scattered everywhere is gathered together.

It feels much more convenient to use.

Finally, there is a third way, which is to go outside Shu to buy food.

Because of the help of the spaceship, he could enter and leave the core areas of Wu and Wei at any time. As long as he had enough gold, silver or silk for exchange, he could gather a large amount of food.

However, this matter took a little time, so he decided to do it last.

Now the Adam is flying to the east. Jin Chi and Xiao Hei control the spacecraft and have crossed the Shu Kingdom and entered the Wu Kingdom.In seven or eight days at most, we can reach Jianye, the capital of Wu Kingdom, and Wu County in about ten days.

The only thing that may delay time is that Jin Chi and Xiao Hei don't know the way to Wujun. At this time, they can only go east along the Yangtze River and reach Jianye first.

At that time, as long as he boarded the Adam directly through the art of stars, he would be able to command the spacecraft to reach Wu County.

Wujun is the hometown of the Zhang family. It is a prosperous place in the east of the Yangtze River and is rich in rice. It is a suitable place to raise food there.

So at this time, since Zhao Xin, the eldest son of the Zhao family, had promised [-]% compensation, Zhang Bai stepped down and agreed immediately.

So Xin Zhao and Zhang Bai, each with the idea of ​​succeeding in their own scheme and making a lot of money today, said goodbye.

The next day, the grain market in Chengdu suddenly became turbulent again.

Liu Ba suddenly dropped a large amount of grain in exchange for Zhibai, and the price of grain, which had been rising, suddenly dropped.

Zhang Bai secretly made an appointment with Liu Ba about this matter.

Before Zhao Xin came to the bank, Zhang Bai used silk to write a letter to Liu Ba, which talked about this incident.

Zhang Bai's plan was to seize the opportunity of the Zhao family to stock up on rice grains before the Southern Expedition began, and simply release some of the treasury's old grains and put them into the grain market, and take advantage of the high prices to collect hundreds of dollars.

Then Zhang Bai proposed to use the theater as collateral to borrow a hundred dollars from Liu Ba and Zhuge Liang, which he could use to return the principal of the Zhao family, and then repay it with grain and silk.

In fact, this is borrowing food from the national treasury for speculation.

Liu Ba thought about it again and again. He also knew that Zhang Bai had already hoarded silk and silk, so he was not afraid that he would not be able to pay it back. Furthermore, by selling the grain at a high price and exchanging it for grain and silk, he would definitely make a fortune.

It's just that he didn't have the courage to use the treasury and military rations without the consent of the prime minister.

However, unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang came to Liu Ba's residence in person that day, talked with him about how to collect Zhibai, and argued the benefits of lending Zhibai to the central bank.

Liu Ba didn't know that Zhuge Liang had received the mission privately. He only knew that Zhuge Liang and Zhang Bai had a plan. He immediately understood that they were going to deal with the Zhao family.

Liu Ba sighed softly, feeling quite unwilling.

It's not that he has any relationship with the Zhao family, but because both Liu Ba and the Zhao family are noble families in Shu.If he hadn't been invited by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang again and again, he wouldn't have left the mountain.

Because leaving the mountain in this way was tantamount to joining the Jingzhou gentry, he was naturally separated from the circle of the local gentry.

After Liu Ba came out of the mountain, the most important strategy he contributed was to issue hundreds of large coins. This additional coin was issued to make money, and the most harm was done to the local nobles in Shu.

He was quite reluctant to do this in his heart, but at that time, the Shu Kingdom was newly built and was in ruins, so he had no choice but to take this approach.

But the situation is different now. The Kingdom of Shu has basically stabilized. Liu Ba will be even more unhappy if he deliberately deals with the local nobles at this time.

He couldn't help but tell Zhuge Liang, "The Zhao family is a prominent local family. Although it has always been unfettered, it is not disrespectful. The issue of Zhibai during the late emperor's time was already an offense to the Zhao family. Now it has become more serious, which may cause dissatisfaction among the people of Shu!"

The people Liu Ba calls are actually not common people, but the various ethnic groups of the aristocratic families.

Zhuge Liang said nonchalantly: "Ziqe, don't mind. This is not an open robbery. Since the price of food has gone up, we can make a little more by selling it. What's wrong with that? As for how to manage the bank, Zhang Bai has his own decisions." , what does it have to do with us?"

Liu Ba was about to say more, but Zhuge Liang interrupted with a smile: "The Southern and Northern Expeditions require supplies such as food, grass and population. With only one county in Shu, we must work together to regain the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Of course I understand that the Zhao family has always been unwilling to cooperate. .That’s it, I don’t care.”

"But now the Zhao family is hoarding food. This is because they want to shake the heart of the Han Dynasty and disturb the foundation of the country. If there is no slight punishment, it may be ineffective and the Shu Han will never be peaceful for a day. Zi Che cannot be a woman's benevolence." "

Hearing what Zhuge Liang said was reasonable, Liu Ba sighed and nodded: "It's also the fault of the Zhao family themselves. They insist on cleaving and are too arrogant. I really don't know why they are so unwise."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "The truth is very simple. Among the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, the nobles are more optimistic about Cao Wei. Unless we can show results, we will not be able to convince everyone. That little Zhang Bai brought tens of thousands of wealth and thousands of elite cavalry. It's true." It's Shuhan's great fortune. Let him handle the bank business. It's best if he does it well. If it doesn't, I'll take action to clean up the mess."

"It's time to clean up the mess! Now we can sell it well to everyone, isn't it wonderful!"

After hearing this, Liu Ba felt that it was right, and then the treasury military rations entered the market.

To this end, Liu Ba also specially posted a notice, insisting that the soaring food prices in the market have made the people uneasy and even the country uneasy, so prices must be stabilized.

For a time, it attracted praise from all parties.
