Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 71 Daoxiang City

Hearing this, General Zhang felt ashamed that he had misunderstood Chen Yi just now.

Chen Yi really did it for the people, even if it was to get attention, it was for the people, not for his own self-interest.

With these few words now, General Zhang had a deeper understanding and recognition of Chen Yi, and even said that he decided in private that he must cooperate with Chen Yi and help Chen Yi solve unnecessary troubles.

Looking at General Zhang's expression, Chen Yi was very satisfied with the effect he had achieved.

How could he tell General Zhang that he was from another world and had no respect for the imperial power, so he felt no guilt at all about scolding the empress.

In other people's eyes, it might be risking the world's disgrace, but to Chen Yi, he can only be regarded as a slow-moving colleague, not even a boss.

Chen Yi's family is impoverished now, so it's not like he is relying on the empress to live, but the empress needs to rely on herself to help her stabilize the people in the world. After all, the empress has earned it.

Coupled with the fact that Chen Yi has a system in his hands, it is not easy to make himself popular and spicy.

He has no fear of the empress, but Chen Yi is grateful to those ministers who have helped him, so he is still willing to maintain the superficial peace.

Don't let these upright and lovely ministers feel that they are deviant and can't accept it all at once.

After this night of heart-to-heart talk, General Zhang became a little closer to Chen Yi.

As for the purchase of food, it was also hindered a lot.

There are many people in the world who can carry Qing Dynasty. Today's Great Wu Dynasty, according to the development of the past few years, has been able to maintain its superficial prosperity in recent years, but now it has begun to decline.

Smart people have already started planning for themselves, and no one is better informed than a businessman.

In the past few years, the treasury has no money, and the common people don't know it very clearly, but how can a businessman who often deals with the court not know.

And now this year is not good, half of the year has just passed, there is drought in Longxi, floods in the south, and the western border is about to move.

Therefore, how to spend the winter in the second half of the year is a difficult problem. Therefore, the large amount of food hoarded by merchants is not in a hurry to sell, not to mention that food is essential wherever it is placed.

Before the drought in Longxi, there was no harvest, and these businessmen planned to take the opportunity to make a wave of money, but they didn't expect that because of Chen Yi's intervention, their plan was in vain.

So naturally, this idea was brought to the northwest border.

Especially when I heard that General Zhang did not buy grain and grass in the imperial capital, these merchants became cautious.

Chen Yi naturally knew this. Chen Yi didn't buy grain from the imperial capital. One was that it was inconvenient to transport and the price was relatively high.

What is the best way to make money in this world?War money, of course.

They walked for a few days and happened to pass a bustling town called Daoxiang City.

This name is not in vain, it can be said that it is worthy of the name. The source of Daoxiang City's name is because it is a famous grain storage place.

In addition to the prosperous commercial trade in the south, this place can be said to be the prosperous trade center in the north.

It can be said that two-fifths of the food in Dawu Kingdom is grown here. One can imagine how many people are fed here?How much was the output at that time?

When Chen Yi first received the mission, he asked the system for the map of Dawu Kingdom and the distribution of some resources.

The system did not give it at the beginning.

However, how could Chen Yi give up so easily? Chen Yi searched the entire system store, but he didn't find anything similar to buy.

So it can only be raised to the system that this is a system bug.

Since I want him to complete the task well, he will not be given any help, the mall is expensive to death, and only a small ten points will be given for completing a task, what can be done.

So Chen Yi had a good talk with the system.

He analyzed the pros and cons with the system, and helped the system find a very good reason. He escaped the review and provided himself with a map.

So at this time, Chen Yi has the most detailed map of Dawu Kingdom in his hand, and this Daoxiang City is the goal of Chen Yi's visit this time.

What do Chinese people do best?
Chen Yi had heard a speech before, which was given by an economics professor.

At that time, the professor's humor won a lot of attention, and one of his speeches was edited and posted on the Internet.

Chen Yi happened to see it, and he still remembered that sentence at that time.

The Chinese are the best at lowering prices, commonly known as bargaining.

Don't underestimate this ability. You must know that if you can rely on your own strength to get more resources than others, who dares to say that you are not a strong person.

Chen Yi still has 150 taels left in his hand. To be honest, with this little money, he really can't buy much food in this Daoxiang City.

These merchants are really rich. If they throw this little money on the ground, they might not even take a look at it. They will just treat it as a tip and give it to their servants.

However, this money is one of the few that the imperial court can provide. It is conceivable what the current situation of Dawu Kingdom has become.

It's hateful that the empress is still thinking of seeking the elixir of immortality.

Let’s just talk about it, how could Chen Yi not tolerate scolding such a pig teammate? He makes him angry just thinking about it!

Therefore, what Chen Yi did before was completely reasonable and was not due to his own bad temper.

Closer to home, Chen Yi has thought about it many times, how to get enough food here, which also determines whether his mission can be successfully completed this time.

It is one aspect of Chen Yi's friendship with General Zhang, but more importantly, he hopes that the other party can see his ability, not just his verbal courage.

Anyone can say something, put on airs, brag, anyone can do it.

Those who are a little pretentious or have a little bit of confidence, even liars can make big cakes, but if you want to tell the things, and do it beautifully, this is the real skill.

Before Chen Yi came, he already had some drafts in his mind.

Now that I have really come to this Daoxiang City, I have strengthened my previous thoughts. If I don’t slaughter this rich and oily place, I am really sorry that I have been to this land.

Chen Yi followed the army and looked at the grain shops everywhere on the street, and the clothes on the passers-by were also exquisite.

One can imagine what kind of life those merchants live. Of course, this is the prosperous side. There are also beggars on the street corners and destitute pedestrians.

It is enough to see that the gap between rich and poor here is very large.
