When Luochuan and Lijun Light Cavalry arrived in Zhengcang City again, the sky above the city was covered with clouds.

Zhao Wuji was still waiting for him outside the military camp, but instead of taking him to the central tent to look at the map to analyze what he had done, he went up to the wall of Zhengcang City with him, and stopped beside the corner tower, pointing to the north road, "The fertile soil of Guangjun is there, the once out of reach, and now it is almost within reach," he looked at Luochuan with a smile, "You can't understand the feeling of our generation standing on the wall of Zhengcang City, looking north."

Luo Chuan looked north like Zhao Wuji, and he didn't have any complicated mood. "When I went south from Zhongjing City, I saw the prosperity of trade in Dagang in Hanoi County, the openness and prosperity of the capital Huai City, and the bustling traffic in Jincheng, Guangjun and the numerous workshops in Xicheng. Compared with Yongchang County and Li County, which are mainly farming, these two places are really impressive and yearn for."

Zhao Wuji smiled and turned his gaze back to the north, "It's not just that. I've seen a mountain hunter in Cangyan City. He probably stayed in the forest for half a winter. He hunted a tiger in his life. What's even more rare is that the tiger skin is quite complete and has a good appearance. So he went to a big city like Cangyan City to sell. After all, it can be sold at a high price here. Guess how much does this tiger skin cost in the end?"

Luo Chuan shook his head.

Zhao Wuji stretched out five fingers, "Just 500," he asked another question, "But do you know how much can this tiger skin be sold in Huaicheng when it was collected by the shop?" He still stretched out five fingers and said, "Fifty taels of silver, if it is processed into a rich and noble item such as a blanket or a chair, the price of hundreds of taels should not be difficult, and it will be hundreds of times the difference."

Luochuan said, "Businessmen are pursuing profits, and this is the essence of goods that are the world's best. It is difficult for primary suppliers of commodity raw materials to make the most profit."

"It is true, but the interesting thing is that," Zhao Wuji looked at Luo Chuan thoughtfully and continued to look to the north. There was a little cold look in his eyes when he looked to the north. "The hunters in the mountainous areas collected five hundred coins and went happily. After all, the hunters who lived in the border mountainous areas like them could support the family for a long time with the extra five hundred coins. It was already considered good. Even if the shops collected tiger skins, they would be transported to Huaicheng for a hundred times. They were naturally happy. Even the county guards and herds of the prefectures and counties along the way were happy. After all, the caravan had to pay for passing the city, and staying in a restaurant and drinking increased the income from various places. They were very happy, but the person who was with me was very unhappy, because the owner behind the shops was not from the people from the county, but lived in Jincheng, Guangjun!"

Luo Chuan already understood what Zhao Wuji meant.

Just like the earth in the past life, countries that have the right to speak in high-end manufacturing and international trade can use ten thousand methods to pay money from the pockets of the people of developing countries, the same is true for the economic rules of this world. The reason why Sanpou County is poor is naturally related to factors such as the regional environment and regional history. On the other hand, it is also inseparable from the long-term trade suppression of Sanpou County.

"You may not know that most of the merchants who are away from the county nowadays are foreigners. Except for some local powerful families, the other local merchants must rely on foreign merchants, or simply be puppets of others, otherwise they will not survive. You probably have guessed that the person who was with me was your father. At that time, he had not met your mother yet. He was a passionate young man who could roll up his sleeves and fight with others when encountering worldly injustice," Zhao Wuji's expression seemed to have remembrance. After a while, he stopped slowly, "Who would have thought that once he became the prefect, he became the most tolerant person in the world. He forced the three maggots to shake their heads and tails in Cangyan City where they once lived, but lived for more than ten years!"

He smiled and sighed, "I thought a few days ago that if he had become the prefect of Lijun at the age of yours, would it be like you now, that General Zhong Xian of Ganyuan could also stand on the walls of Zhengcang City and look out to the north. Now that I really stand here, I know that it is impossible."

Luo Chuan was silent. Zhao Wuji reached out and patted the city wall in front of him, "Apart from the inconsistent weather, making such a decision is not something that ordinary people can do. People are often content with the life and affairs that they are already accustomed to. It takes a lot of effort to make a little change, let alone step into this battle between princes with advance and retreat. Therefore, you are an extraordinary person," he pointed to the north and said to Luo Chuan with a serious expression, "Yunbailou, too."

He saw Luo Chuan listen carefully and continued, "Shen Ranzhi finally decided to cross the Yahe River in the north with the support of the Jiangzhou naval army to counterattack the richest two rivers in Hanoi County. However, according to the news sent back by the Military Affairs Office, Yunbailou has now taken Huaicheng, and all the strategic points of the two rivers have fallen into Guangjun's hands. Unless Jiangzhou does not just send a navy army to help him cross the river, but is willing to send more land troops to directly join the battle, Shen Ranzhi, who can't help but rashly counterattack this winter, will most likely be defeated and even..." He did not finish his words but said,

"But since the prefect has said first, I will send 10,000 elite troops northward into Guangjun area as you promised to Shen Ranzhi, towards Xiucheng, the important city in southern Guangjun. But... I only let the army attack the city and wait for the follow-up order. You must understand that the huge trouble in the south is about to arrive. If we start a large-scale war with Guangjun while we start a war on Yongchang County, we will inevitably mobilize more troops from the south to the north. This is very unfavorable for the current situation in Lijun. After all, the Nanyi is actually approaching the southern border. You and I understand this principle, and Yun Bailou will also understand it."

Luo Chuan finally nodded and said, "Uncle Zhao, I understand what you mean by saying this. At present, Lijun seems to have seized the three warehouses first and obtained the southern part of Anling. There is no obstacle to the smooth flow, but in fact, he still has the advantage of hundreds of years of accumulation and undeclared war. I have not been so arrogant that I really broke up with Guangjun before the troubles of the Southern Yi. No matter how good the land of Guangjun is in close proximity, it seems. But this step of advancing Xicheng is naturally the strategy of getting along with the nearby attacks. Shen Ranzhi can do so.

To obtain support from Jiangzhou's naval army in a short time, you will inevitably get more. It only takes time and... failure. Therefore, we can let him lose, but not let him die. It is necessary to keep an enemy in the east of Guangjun that is hated and capable of counterattacking. For this reason, we must create enough pressure on the Yun family in the direction to the west and south of Guangjun. The number of elite troops in Guangjun is not large. Once the troops are divided, it will be even more difficult to completely eat Shen Ranzhi."

"On the other hand, this will be an extremely important gesture. I want to make the people of Guangjun Yun family understand that Luochuan is not afraid of a battle, nor do I mind that for a complete victory this winter, I will really transfer more troops from the south to the north. If I don't have a good time next spring, they will not be able to think about it even better. Whether they will treat me as a fool or a lunatic, they have to be afraid of my real strength and attitude from the county," Luochuan turned his head and looked at Zhao Wuji with a gentle smile, not as if he was saying such a crazy thing.

The appearance of crazy remarks, "Uncle Zhao, only smart and rational characters will guess each other from a distance of thousands of miles away. If you are facing a fool or a madman, even if you are facing each other, you cannot know how he thinks, and you still dare to attack such a person easily? I want most people in Guangjun to think that I am a fool and a madman. Only in this way can we get a better tacit understanding until next spring, maintain a relatively peaceful state with Guangjun, and give each other a time to digest food..."
