Chapter 633 The overall situation has been decided
The Sixth Route princes were responsible for sending troops, and the Fifth Route was responsible for raising military pay. When they learned that the frontline army rations had been burned, they knew they had to raise food, but they never expected that the army rations would not be collected.
After the fall of the Daxuan royal family, the princes fought countless wars, large and small, and the grain stored in the granaries of various prefectures and counties was almost exhausted, so they could only be collected from the people through taxes.
The recent surge in tax revenue has made officials and princes very happy. After all, wars are about who has more money. They always thought that this sudden wealth was an eye-opener from God.
There are a lot of spiritual stones in my hand, and there is nothing I can't buy.
But it is impossible to buy it. After the grain price changes, the grain store's inventory has been emptied. Now it is winter again, and there is no grain in the fields.
The princes had no choice but to buy from other princes' territories, but that was not the case. Almost all the city's grain reserves were gone and disappeared.
They finally noticed the city they belonged to. Shops were closed, people fled, refugees were rampant, and there were even more robberies and thefts.
The economy has collapsed, public security is in chaos, and tax collection has gone from being weak to now being unable to collect taxes at all, leaving us with nothing to do.
This is the current situation of the cities in the hands of all the princes.
The only thing that is in bad shape is the Spirit-Gathering Pill, which is a piece of spiritual stone. Almost half of the people in the city have the Spirit-Gathering Pill in their hands, and they can't sell it or eat it up.
The princes looked extremely ugly after listening to the reports from the officials below. Naturally, they cannot be just idiots if they can achieve this position. They know what the economy means and how long it will take for such a paralyzed market to recover.
And it is not difficult for them to guess that there must be someone behind this matter, and it is such a ruthless plan to pull people out of the situation.
Who is it?
"Catch, catch those people behind the scenes who are raising prices." One of the princes roared and ordered.
All the princes issued the same order after discovering it, but Beichen Ye had already sent secret guards to the rear when the royal family collapsed, either to acquire shops, or to directly buy land to open a shop.
In this way, it was much more reasonable to participate in the buying and selling of items. Of course, there were some capable subordinates who pretended to be foreign businessmen to negotiate, but at that time people were so impetuous that it was easy to take advantage of loopholes.
A number of these shops have closed down due to the wave, and now only the ones that are well hidden remain, making them difficult to find during large-scale inspections.
When the frontline received the news, Li Wang Xiao Quan and Zhou Bai were discussing matters in the Chinese military tent, both of them frowning.
Mu Qianyu's city defense strength and commander-in-chief could understand that they had been seriously underestimated before. They had thought of many ways, but now that almost a month had passed, they still had not come close, so they were naturally a little impatient.
"Report, there is a letter from Marquis Changxin." The messenger presented the letter to King Li.
Wang Li opened it casually and started browsing, but when he read three lines of words, his expression froze. After reading further, he stood up from the chair unknowingly, with cold sweat breaking out on his head.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Zhou Bai asked.
King Li was stunned for a long time and handed over the letter.
Zhou Bai had the same look after reading it.
"It's empty, the rear has been hollowed out." King Li seemed to be muttering to himself, his small voice filled with disbelief and unwillingness.
Grain, iron and copper, which are all necessary resources for war, are almost empty now, and taxes cannot be collected. How can they rely on to fight wars in the future?
Zhou Bai also wiped the cold sweat on his head and said: "Who is this person? His methods are too cruel."
"General, we don't have much time left." King Li raised his head and looked at Zhou Bai: "We only have three days of food. If we can't capture Yulang City within three days, we will definitely return without success.
.”
Zhou Bai's back was wet with cold sweat. He had never thought about losing before. When this possibility appeared in his mind, he undoubtedly couldn't accept it.
King Li sat opposite him, his eyes a little vacant, and he was still muttering: "Mu Qianyu, who is that person behind you?"
Naturally, no one answered him.
Mu Qianyu also received supplies from Xiang Ziyou who had detoured from Daya Pass, including cartloads of storage bags filled with fairy grain, iron, and copper.
She was stunned when she saw these things. How much does it cost? And even if it costs money, can they sell such war materials?
"Sir, this subordinate has gained some knowledge this time. Mr. Beichen is truly a god." Xiang Ziyou said excitedly.
"That's true, but what aspect are you talking about?" Mu Qianyu, as a man who shows off his husband, is never modest when it comes to praise from outsiders.
Xiang Ziyou didn't think there was anything wrong, and he explained clearly what Beichenye had done.
Mu Qianyu was stunned when he heard this. Not to mention the plan behind this, it was to drive up the prices of almost the entire Daxuan City. How much money would this cost?
She felt that it was not that those who were fooled were stupid, but that the game was so deep that only real capital could operate it. Ordinary people could not see clearly. The more smart people thought they were, the more likely they would rush to do it.
Chinese chives.
It seemed that this game had been planned for a long time, and it was impossible to leave no traces like this for a while. Then she suddenly thought that Beichen Ye was always in the study before he stationed at Daya Pass, and various secret guards kept coming and going.
At that time, she was still wondering, but now she thinks that he was planning at that time. If these people were safe, it would be fine. If they were not safe, he would have laid the mines long ago and waited to close the net.
This scheming is quite profound.
When Mu Qianyu thought of this, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. With this man's meticulous mind, she might not even know that he sold her.
She was very happy that day. The rear area had been hollowed out. The five cities that provided food and grass had no food supplies. The coalition forces would naturally disperse without food.
And as long as she is given some more time, she will definitely develop and grow to a point that is beyond the reach of everyone, and she will not be attacked by others next time.
"Report!"
That night, a messenger rushed into the commander's tent and said, "Sir, the opponent's offensive is becoming more and more fierce. The soldiers can no longer hold on."
Mu Qianyu frowned slightly, and within a moment he knew that this was the end of a powerful attack. He suddenly launched a strong attack at this point, and he must have known that his time was running out.
"Mo Feng, bring in the reserves and tell the soldiers that as long as they survive this wave, the coalition forces will be unable to do anything." Mu Qianyu spoke in a loud and confident voice.
"Yes." Mo Feng took the order and left.
Mu Qianyu looked in the direction of the brightly lit city wall and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Afterwards, she asked Master Qian to write a letter and had more than a thousand soldiers copy it overnight. By the next morning, there were hundreds of thousands of copies, which were given to Sikong Yu and Yuan Peng respectively, while she kept 60,000 copies for herself.
