    Chapter 47 Crossing the River (Part 2) This meal was a feast for both the guest and the host.  After the banquet, Boyan was naturally taken down to rest. After he became familiar with the basic situation of the Huai'an Army, he was transferred to relevant departments of the army according to his own wishes and abilities. In this regard, the General Manager's Office had previously recruited  During the new blood process, he had already figured out a set of rules. As long as he followed the steps step by step, he would be able to complete it smoothly without Zhu Chongjiu spending any more energy.  What Zhu Chongjiu needed to spend some time and thought on digesting was some of the information that Boyan took the initiative to report after being moved, such as the morale of the Forbidden Army, weapons and equipment, the composition of Li Siqi's Baoyi Army, and the attitude of the officials and people in the capital towards the Huai'an Army.  Etc., he had read some things in the reports of the Military Intelligence Department, but the things that had been processed and compiled by others, although well-organized and focused, were far less detailed than those reported by Boyan, Deputy Wanhu of the Forbidden Army.  , some details have not been paid attention to by the Military Intelligence Office in the past. Through the conversation with Boyan, Zhu Chongjiu just absorbed them to make up for the lack of details in the information he had.  Overall, the situation is developing in the most favorable direction for Huaiyang. The quarrel between father and son, who was in love with Timur, not only dealt a huge blow to the military strength of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty, but also some of the top ministers in the court.  They are optimistic about the future of the Golden Family and are ready to find their own way out. At the same time, some ambitious guys, such as Li Hanqing, Gong Bosui, Han Yong, etc., are also beginning to prepare to fish in troubled waters. Although their respective powers are weak at the moment, they are better than others.  Hidden and scattered, people have to be on guard.  "Congratulations, my lord, on getting another good general." Chen Ji drank a little too much and expressed his congratulations to Zhu Chongjiu with a hint of drunkenness.  At that time, he, Luo Ben and others went to Huaiyang to take the exam, and they could be said to have defied the criticism of scholars all over the world. Anyone who felt that they were "loyal in heart" thought that they were serving thieves and were short-sighted. Some former literary friends  , and even publicly wrote an article announcing the severance of diplomatic relations with them, but no one expected that just a few years later, the Huaiyang General Manager's Office would have the strength to aspire to the world, but the Yuan Dynasty was about to do so.  With the sun declining, those who used to accuse them of being short-sighted could no longer make any noise. The former literary friends also found various reasons and gradually resumed correspondence.  It is foreseeable that if the Northern Expedition succeeds, he, Robben, Ye Dexin and others may be famous for Ling Yan, and among the "juniors" who will line up to come and submit their services, hoping to be recommended by them, they will not  Without some smart people who cut ties with each other in the past, this kind of joy of being proud and proud makes people intoxicated every time they think about it. Even if they don't drink a drop of wine, there will be a bit of excitement in the conversation.  "A good general may not always be good. With my Yangtze River Martial Arts Hall here, my lord, there is no need to look for good generals from outside." Zhang Song's mentality was far more stable than Chen Ji's. Seeing that the other party was talking happily, he smiled and joked in a low voice,  "According to Zhang's humble opinion, my lord is Qian Jinshi Ma Gu'er. If he treats Boyan so kindly, it is inevitable that some Baoyin, Buhua, and Gagui will come to surrender in the future. In this way, our army can also be on the road to the Northern Expedition.  Reduce a lot of obstacles. " "Well, Mr. Zhang is far-sighted and I admire him!" Although Chen Ji didn't like Zhang Song trying to lose face in public, he had to admit that what the other party said was more reasonable.  "I don't dare, I don't dare. Zhang is just guessing." With a bit of joy, Zhang Song waved his hand with a smile.  The two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling a little satisfied in their hearts. At this moment, they heard Liu Bowen, the deputy governor of the Privy Council, knocking on the table and reminding him in a low voice: "My lord, according to what Boyan just said, Dadu City  The price of food this winter is much lower than last year, but labor and shop rents in the city are rising steadily. " "Let's go back to the Yamen to discuss this matter," Zhu Chongjiu quickly turned away from his thoughts and whispered, "Relate the Military Intelligence Department.  Collect all the information, not just in Dadu, and then calculate how much loss we will suffer if we really take this risk, and how the people will react, and finally make a careful decision." "Yes, Wei Chen.  Just go and make plans." Liu Bowen agreed solemnly and saluted solemnly.  Liu Bowen was making some false claims again. Not only Chen Ji and Zhang Song felt a little dissatisfied, Xu Da, Yu Tingyu and other generals also frowned secretly. The army was going on the northern expedition. At this moment, it was really the time when "everything is ready and all we need is the east wind." This  At this time, for the generals, the Privy Council can stop superfluous, and it is better not to superfluous.  With full of doubts, everyone left the restaurant and took a carriage back to the temporary general manager's office in the city. They were first greeted by the trainee staff officers of the Privy Council in the office, drank a few cups of tea, and sat in a ventilated area to sober up for a while.  Immediately, Liu Ji sent someone to invite you into the meeting hall.  In the meeting hall, Yu Changlin, Li Mubai, Cai Liang, Huang Laowai and other senior civil officials who had not followed Zhu Chongjiu to the restaurant for dinner also arrived one after another.The people operating the abacus and those holding pens and paper were busy around a huge oval table. On the table, a huge piece of mulberry paper was spread out, with a very special figure drawn on it.  In the complex accounting form, every time Yu Changlin and others led their subordinates to calculate a new number, a special staff member from the Privy Council would fill in the corresponding position in the form, and the cycle continued without stopping.  "What kind of account is this? Doesn't it mean that the amount of dividends and rewards and punishments at the end of the year has been calculated in advance?" Zhang Song secretly shuddered in his heart when he saw it. When he made a summary report at the end of last year, in order to replace  The position is no less than that of Chang Lin and Li Mubai. If the other party intends to retaliate this time, he may not be able to pick out a few broken bones from the work he is responsible for.  "It seems that they are calculating the war endurance of the Meng Yuan side." This time, Chen Ji saw it more clearly than Zhang Song. He lowered his voice and reminded quietly, "A long time ago, the Lord ordered Huaiyang Company to  Deliberately lowering the price to transport grain to the north, it is better to make less or even lose money than to let grain prices fluctuate excessively around Dadu. "Now is the time to ask for interest from Tuohuan Timur." Zhang Song was so smart.  Two rays of light shot out of his eyes.  The supply and consumption of food in the various places north of the Yellow River in the Meng Yuan court were originally unbalanced. Especially in the capital city, because too many hereditary nobles and civil and military officials were concentrated, large quantities of rice had to be transported from the south through canals every year.  In order to meet daily consumption, although the Huai'an Army has controlled the most critical section of the canal in these years, it has never prohibited traders from trafficking rice to the north. Even though they fought so fiercely with Tuotuo, when the Yuan army retreated northward,  , Huaiyang immediately took the initiative to open the canal waterway in the name of pity for the people in the north who were struggling to survive. In this way, Zhu Chongjiu certainly became known as a "Buddhist". On the Meng Yuan side, I'm afraid not many people would think so.  , the Huai'an Army will one day take the initiative to cut off their food supply. In addition, the Huaiyang Company has been deliberately misleading for a long time some time ago, trying every means to keep food prices stable at a low level for a long time, and in disguise, it encourages the princes and nobles of Hama to join the establishment.  Planting grass in workshops and enclosures, and raising and shearing sheep. Sheep raising is several times more profitable than farming, but sheep raising requires far fewer people than farming. Those princes and nobles only have their own interests in their eyes and have never cared much about it.  The life and death of the Mongolian Yuan court and ordinary people, and the collection of money and grain in various places were always in the hands of the tax collectors, who also never did loss-making business. In addition, the black-hearted grain shops controlled by various dignitaries, as long as  What a tragic scene it would be if the Huai'an army closed the canal. Zhang Song, who once served as the prefect of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, even immediately thought of the four words "Changing children and eating". In this case, people from all over the country  The Yuan army still needs a large supply of grain and grass. Once the government cannot get it out of the warehouse, it will undoubtedly turn its attention to the people and the local gentry who are still somewhat nostalgic for the court.  By the time Butcher Zhu arrived and the Meng Yuan court had begun to kill them, the consequences could be imagined.  "Lord, the results are out. According to estimates, once the shipping on the canal is cut off, the price of food in the capital city will inevitably double within a month." Just when Zhang Song was thinking thrillingly, he saw Li Mubai walking towards  Zhu Chongjiu reported loudly next to him, "According to the information sent back from various places by the Military Intelligence Office, the harvests in Zhuozhou, Hejian, Yizhou and other places last autumn can only be considered mediocre. They can barely supply the local areas and have no ability to transport food to the capital city."  .
