Chapter 2709 Stabilize Mi Fang and Fu Shiren!

Wang Yue paused here, and waited for Guan Yinping to understand before continuing, "Secondly, we can also obtain more information about Jiangdong by investigating these merchants. If they have a large army coming, we can notify General Fu and Prefect Mi in advance."

Guan Yinping thought Wang Yue's words made a lot of sense, so she said impatiently, "Strategist, I'll go and do it right away, to prevent problems before they arise!"

Seeing that Guan Yinping was about to leave before she had finished listening, Wang Yue shook his head helplessly and said, "Third Miss, wait a moment. We need to inform Prefect Mi about the matter of having the merchants make modifications. You need to go there in person."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yinping hesitated and said, "Strategist, you've been busy with matters in Sanhu City lately. You may not know, but my father felt that Uncle Mi's delayed delivery of grain was causing him to miss a crucial opportunity and prevent him from pressing his advantage."

Father said he was planning to deal with Uncle Mi and Uncle Fu when he got back. We're going to find Uncle Mi, but I'm afraid he won't agree.

Seeing Guan Yinping's worried expression, Wang Yue quickly coaxed her like a child, saying, "Third Miss, with so many people managing this operation, you should know that supplies aren't so easy to come by."

Originally, Jingzhou had so much land, but due to war, the people were displaced, and all the land came into the possession of powerful families.

After your father became the governor of Mi Commandery and then the governor of Nan Commandery, he could only listen to the land reclamation and grain storage. This grain was barely enough for your father's army to stay in the same place.

But now a major war has suddenly broken out, and the soldiers need to eat twice as much, otherwise they simply won't have the strength to fight, and there are so many prisoners who need to be fed.

To gather enough grain, Prefect Mi would probably have no choice but to purchase it from powerful families or merchants.

However, Jingzhou's tax revenue is limited, and Mi Fang doesn't have enough money to buy things. He probably wants to split every penny in half, so he needs to lower the price before buying to ensure the material needs of the subsequent war.

So, I don't know if Prefect Mi was corrupt, but he must have had his own grievances. After all, he was originally a famous wealthy man in Xuzhou, and he was one of the first people to speak ill of your uncle.

"If the Third Miss goes there and tells Prefect Mi what I said, and then pretends to apologize as the Governor, their years of fighting together will surely erase this little conflict."

Guan Yinping is no longer the naive girl she once was. Of course, she knows that even a hero can be brought down by a penny, and she is now extremely worried about money.

Even if it was just to raise grain, Guan Yinping was willing to say some nice things against her will, not to mention that Mi Fang needed to supply the entire defense of Jingzhou with grain, as well as the food needs of more than 3 troops and tens of thousands of prisoners.

Guan Yinping hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then I will go to my father and persuade him properly, and I will definitely tell him about Uncle Mi's difficulties."

Seeing that Guan Yinping was able to apply what she had learned to other situations, Wang Yue encouraged her, saying, "That's all for the future. As long as Miss San tells Mi Fang that he can get more money and buy more grain by following our arrangements, he will be willing to help."

After all, it's quite a distance of several dozen miles from Jiangling to our Sanhu City. Transporting supplies there will require manpower and money, and Prefect Mi can only make some money from it to make up for the fiscal deficit.

Guan Yinping saw that Wang Yue's argument included both interests and sentiments, and felt confident that it could be accomplished. So, she confidently led a few guards and rode at full speed to Jiangling.

When Mi Fang heard that Guan Yinping had come looking for him, he actually didn't want to see her. He was utterly fed up with the Guan family. You see, the Mi family was originally a well-known wealthy family in Xuzhou. They had gone to great lengths to support Liu Bei, to the point that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they went bankrupt. Even his sister had married Liu Bei.

After so many years of friendship, Guan Yu should have known that he wasn't the kind of person who would deliberately delay military operations. However, Guan Yu only knew how to ask him for supplies, completely misunderstanding his difficulties and showing him no respect whatsoever. This made Mi Fang feel that his family's investment had been completely wasted.

However, since Guan Yinping had already arrived, if he deliberately refused to see her, it would be tantamount to offending Guan Yu even more. Although Mi Fang was somewhat annoyed, he still had Guan Yinping brought over.

Mi Fang forced herself to adjust her mood, and upon seeing Guan Yinping, she forced a smile and said...
"Yinping, aren't you on a bandit suppression mission? How come you have time to look for your uncle?"

Guan Yinping noticed Mi Fang's displeasure but pretended not to notice and said, "I only understood Uncle's difficulties after I brought back so many people who needed to be resettled after suppressing the bandits."

So when I came across a business opportunity that could make us rich, I wanted to work with my uncle so we'd have extra money to buy supplies.

When Mi Fang heard Guan Yinping's thoughtful words, her eyes reddened. She never expected that Guan Yu, that cold-hearted old man, would have such a caring daughter.

No wonder the elderly say that daughters are considerate; it turns out that this saying is really true.

Mi Fang forced a smile and said gently, "So that's how it is. Just do whatever you need. How could your uncle possibly compete with you for these profits?"
Moreover, the difficulties facing the entire Jingzhou region are so immense that they cannot be easily resolved with just a little effort. I will prepare the necessary approvals for you right away.”

Guan Yinping noticed Mi Fang's reddened eyes and realized that this uncle was probably really struggling with money.

This would probably be a very embarrassing thing for Mi Fang, after all, her family used to be a famous wealthy family, but unexpectedly, they ended up short of money.

Guan Yinping felt a little guilty, so she quickly said, "Uncle Mi, I recently heard some news that there is a troop movement in Jiangdong. We are worried that Jiangdong will take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on us, so we are thinking of directly blocking the river near Gong'an."

Let the merchants disembark on the north bank of the Gong'an River, and then transport them from there to Jiangling. Then, in Jiangling, we will also stop the merchants who want to go to Jiangdong, and they will have to be transported from here to my Sanhu City.

In this case, they would need a large transportation force, and the merchants would not be able to hire such a large transportation fleet at the moment.

Uncle Mi can organize some laborers to help transport goods, which will also allow Nanjun, which is currently struggling, to earn more money.

what do you think? "

Mi Fang certainly didn't think Jiangdong would launch a direct sneak attack. He felt that this was just a reason given by Guan Yinping to allow Nanjun to make more money.
