There are continuous sails on both sides of the canal, and canal ships are endless on the river surface, and they are coming and going.

Since Cangzhou fell into the control of Chen Jun, the canal that had been cut off for a long time has once again been full of vitality.

Cangzhou is not short of salt, but Cangzhou lacks grain. A large amount of grain is transported into Cangzhou, and it is constantly transported into Cangzhou.

There is no military action here, it is entirely a privately initiated trade.

Just like the various Mao Shens in Jiangnan showed their magical powers in smuggling salt, Zhili also urgently needed food.

Therefore, the Qing government opposite the private merchants smuggled food from Cangzhou to Tianjin and Baoding, and the Qing government would turn a blind eye to it. Who told them to be short of food? No matter in Tianjin or Beijing, no matter how much food is, it is not enough to fill it.

Chen Jun ignored it at all. He just paid taxes obediently by both sides. Even the General Administration of Food put on his vests and ended up in person because the money in Zhili was too easy to make.

The food prices in the Central Plains are lower than in previous years, because of the emergence of gold seeds? Everyone firmly believes that there will be more food in the coming year, so accumulating food is a matter of no future.

Then the food in the Central Plains not only became larger, but also became cheaper than in the same period in previous years.

But the food prices in Zhili can fly in the sky.

With this in and out, money is profitable.

Even the grain ships on the canal had an invisible layer of protective golden bodies. The Qing army and horses who went south to harass the Chen army did not dare to attack them at all.

Because the grain merchants had already spoken out, if I lost a grain on the canal, I would have to retrieve it from the north ten times.

If you have the ability, don’t come to me to sell food!

The Eight Banners Horse Teams were frustrated.

But no matter how frustrated you are, you can only endure it.

So they could only make trouble for Chen Jun in a different way.

Going north from Texas, there are many fields, but few people are busy. Large areas of burnt wheat fields and abandoned villages are becoming more and more common.

However, Zhao Liang is not short of food.

Rama I of the Bangkok Dynasty was a very obedient person.

He knew that Zheng Xin, who had just been dealt with by himself, was a pure Chinese, so he was worried that the Qing Dynasty in the north would use this as an excuse to interfere in Siam, because Zheng Xin was dead, but many of his descendants were still alive.

Even in order to decorate the store and to appease many Chinese ministers in Siam, Zheng Xin's descendants were safely raised in Bangkok by him.

Therefore, even when he first submitted a memorial to the Qing Dynasty and requested a title for imperial title, he insisted in his documents that he was Zheng Xin's son "Zheng Hua".

Now the Qing Dynasty suddenly encountered a major change, but this "Zheng Hua" was still very obedient and opened a convenient door for the merchant ships that Zhao family went to buy food. Because Zheng Hua was very self-aware, the Zhao family navy, who was quite famous throughout Nanyang, was really not something that Siam could deal with during rest and recuperation.

You know, Siam is still in war with Myanmar.

It was the invasion of the Myanmar army that Zheng Xin was able to establish the Zheng family Thonburi Dynasty on the ruins of the Aichi dynasty of the previous dynasty. He then became king for fifteen years. He was too powerful and turned to Myanmar westward and attacked Annan eastward, and conquered the places such as Nampon, Pahan, Lanna, Laos, Vientiane and other places.

Zheng Xin is dead. In the turmoil of Siam, how could the Burmese people miss this great opportunity?

It was not until Zhao Liang raised his troops that "Zheng Hua" repelled Myanmar's attack.

Therefore, "Zheng Hua" is very keen and tactful, opening a door to convenience for the Zhao family. With Nanyang and Siam as granaries, how could Zhao Liang lack food?

The ironware, cotton cloth, silk and tea from Jiangnan in the area controlled by the Zhao family, and even pens, ink, paper, ink, ink, and various handicrafts were sent to Bangkok by ship, and then a large amount of rice was brought back from Bangkok by ship.

Therefore, it is true that the cheap food prices within the Chen State are cheap.

A large number of people in Cangzhou and other places had no choice but to flee south, and Zhao Liang also had the strength to contain him.

Tens of thousands of strong laborers were sent to the Yellow River embankment to ensure the stability of the Yellow River embankment this year.

At this time, the villages that were still preserved in Cangzhou were all equipped with earth walls and fences, and Ding Zhuang and others also picked up earth guns and hunting bows.

Cangzhou is a hometown of martial arts, and the people are already strong.

Zhao Liang also strongly encouraged the local people to build villages to protect themselves, and even distributed the captured Qing sabers and guns to the people. Although many people fled from their hometowns in a panic and were willing to go to the embankment, some people chose to pick up the swords and guns.

In a sense, these villages that built villages and protected themselves were also fortresses that tripped the Qing army's horse hooves. They formed a large net that seemed to be full of loopholes but was solid and tough, basically leaving the Qing army's horse hooves in Cangzhou.

Otherwise, the entire south of the Yellow River would be ravaged by the horse hooves of the Qing army.

Next to the Grand Canal, a village with four walls among several abandoned villages is particularly eye-catching.

In this small village but with more than a thousand people gathered, someone is reciting articles in an upbeat tone, but not the Four Books and Five Classics, but the Anecdotes of Current Affairs.

"In the fifty years of Qianlong's reign, the price of land in Cangzhou was only seven or eight taels of high-quality paddy fields. Now, it has risen to twenty silver dollars!"

"The tenants in Dezhou made rebellion and attacked and killed the landlord Li, killing seventeen and twenty wounding..."

"The grain price in Linqing fell again. Wheat is one stone and one yuan and five cents, hitting a new low in 20 years."

"Hebei General Administration issued an order..."

A scholar with his braids cut off his braids was reading the message loudly, with hundreds of men and women around him, and many children also traveling around the crowd.

This is already a very common scene in Cangzhou villages.

The village chief shouted loudly to the people below: "Everyone has listened carefully. After the talk is over, I will ask Mr. Fan to tell you what happened to Landlord Li in Dezhou."

"The land rights we have in our hands are all things that everyone has sacrificed their lives to exchange for, so don't sell real gold as rotten copper."

In addition to Today's News, today's Zhao family's "world" also has large and small Times in various regions.

Now the village chief is one of the things he preaches.

The most important thing among these news is the Texas incident.

The tenant rebelled and attacked the landlord Li.

This is of course something that cannot be tolerated by national laws, but it cannot be tolerated by laws, but it is said differently by emotions.

In a word, it is pity for love and cannot be tolerated by the law.

To put it bluntly, the local wealthy family, Li, took advantage of his information to use the convenience of the news. Before the news of Jinsei entered Dezhou, he first lied to deceive the people. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Qing army had not yet disappeared, he purchased a large number of land from the people at a low price.

It was obtained from the people by typing white strips.

When the news of the Golden Seed reached Texas, the local land acres rose in response.

Although everyone knows that the food prices are falling, this does not delay the rise in land prices.

The Li family easily made a lot of profits.

After the news spread, the people who sold land went to find prices (added the price) according to the rules. It would be fine if the Li family was really willing to give money. However, the Li family took too many acres of land, and once the money was supplemented, it would not be a small amount. The Li family only said that they had already passed the contract by the government and were sold (a type of land transaction in the Qing Dynasty, which was different from a live sale. No redemption is allowed after the land was sold. In the contract, "never find additional searches" and "never redeem" are used.) Refusal to make up for money!
