Through trade with the Central Plains, Gongsun Du became richer and richer.

And more and more land and farmers in Liaodong have begun to plant medicinal materials instead of grain.

There are also many people who simply abandon their land to engage in the animal husbandry industry, thinking of making a fortune and buying more land to make a fortune.

They all discovered huge profits in this regard and found that the Zhongyuan demanded a lot of these things, and the money you can get from planting these things is much more than growing food.

This was not the case at the beginning.

At the beginning, there were many people with doubts, and everyone was unwilling to follow the trend. They thought that if they didn’t grow food, what could everyone eat? Will they all starve to death?

The Central Plains Business Travel made a fuss and told a few families to plant medicinal materials but not grains. They thought they had tried it and took out enough grain to mortgage them to make them believe in themselves.

Then it is the harvest season.

As such people who barely believed that Zhongyuan Business and Travel II had the first to give up growing grain and plant medicinal materials began to make a lot of money and make a fortune, everyone around them became jealous.

These people did not grow food and had the method of growing medicinal materials. It seemed that there were business travelers who sent special personnel to guide them to grow medicinal materials.

During this period, if the family’s grain could not keep up, the business travelers would mortgage the grain to live. When the medicinal materials were ready and started selling, they would sell at a very good price and would not have to worry about sales at all.

Those people trembled while counting their money. Then those people became rich and started to buy food for food and could buy meat. They ate dry meals and meat every meal, and they could eat full food and eat enough during festivals.

I don’t know how many times the time I live is nourished by those who grow food.

They have money in their hands and can fill their stomachs. They show off their foresight everywhere.

How can this not make people jealous?

One is spreading to ten, ten is spreading to hundreds. Rich first leads to wealth and then wealth. More and more people who are jealous have given up planting grain and instead planting medicinal materials. The land has begun to plant medicinal materials instead of grain.

Everyone likes money, not to mention that there are people around you who are really making a fortune under everyone's noses.

Show off everywhere, holding a piece of roasted meat to show off, and looking at everyone's envious eyes and saliva while eating, the smugness on their faces was really unconcealed.

Can this be tolerated?

Who doesn’t want to make a lot of money and get enough?

So this trend swept across Liaodong in just a few years, and more and more people began to engage in such planting business and do business with Zhongyuan Business and Travel.

Not only Han people, this business has also been done elsewhere, and even people in Goguryeo and Fuyu do this.

Zhongyuan Business Travel expanded its business to the entire Liaodong region, just like this, it was about to become a medicinal planting base that was urgently needed in the Central Plains. Everyone came to grow medicinal materials.

After such trade gradually took shape, Guo detected the fact that the land for growing grain in Gongsun Du's jurisdiction was getting less and less, and the grain output was declining year by year, and realized that his trick had succeeded.

Afterwards, Guo began to guide the Cao family and Mi family caravans to use the abundant grain in Qingzhou and Jizhou, and do grain business from waterways to various counties in Liaodong, and gradually intervene in the grain market in Liaodong.

This move not only directly stabilized the grain prices that Liaodong had just taken off, but also allowed Central Plains to use its absolute grain advantages to manipulate the grain prices in Liaodong, making the Liaodong rulers who lack economic knowledge completely unaware of the food crisis that Liaodong is facing.

The era of false economic prosperity has arrived, and false prosperity has caused many people to lose their awareness of crisis.

Soon, the Central Plains merchants marched into Liaodong in large numbers, bringing more welfare and prosperity to Liaodong. The grain prices of the counties in Liaodong, including Liaodong, Zhongliao, Liaoxi, Xuantu and Lelang were also controlled by the Central Plains merchants and travelers.

In order to get more money and become richer, Gongsun Du further increased his support for medicinal materials and animal husbandry, and fewer and fewer people were not concerned about growing food.

The merchants in the Central Plains controlled the grain prices in Liaodong within a relatively reasonable range, and used this method to build false prosperity, making the officials and people in the Liaodong region more willing to plant medicinal materials and engage in animal husbandry, and provide medicinal materials and livestock to the Central Plains.

It has to be said that some of the medicinal materials provided by Mr. Guo to the army were purchased from Liaodong, and some of the meat provided to the army also came from Liaodong.

More than 80% of the grain in Liaodong comes from Jizhou and Qingzhou.

If the food supply to Liaodong was suddenly withdrawn, Guo Peng would not dare to imagine what kind of scene it would be.

Anyway, it must not be a good thing for Gongsun Du.

And Guo Peng planned to do this.

Since I learned that Liu Zhang surrendered, I have already started preparations.

He ordered all Cao's Mi grain merchants who went to Liaodong to do business through secret channels to clear their inventory, leave Liaodong separately, and stop doing grain business with the Liaodong people, and never return.

Leave a mess to Gongsun Du and let Gongsun Du get upset when he is seriously ill.

At the same time, he had to issue another imperial edict to pretend to pacify Gongsun Du, so as to numb Gongsun Du's nerves and prevent him from reacting so quickly.

The evil Guo did not intend to make Gongsun Du feel better, and wanted his regime to die in poverty and illness.

The kind of death that cannot be dying well.

Even the resistance was weak and powerless, and he could not concentrate his efforts to resist the invasion of Wei army.

In fact, before that, Gongsun Du's life was very easy.

After all, he is the ruler of Liaodong. If his life is not easy, then everyone will have a hard time.

Through trade with Zhongyuan Business and Tourism, he gained a lot of wealth and a lot of luxury goods. His life became more and more luxurious, and his food, clothing and consumption were the highest.

For example, lighting must be made of giant candles produced in Luoyang, clothes must be made of Shu brocade, and you must eat fruits from the Central Plains, even citrus, sugarcane from the south of the Yangtze River, and the best rice from the south of the Yangtze River.

His life was like an emperor, and he was no worse than Guo in all aspects. Some things that Guo couldn't bear to use were so happy that he used them very much.

Before Guo Peng became emperor, Gongsun Du's life became more luxurious day by day.

After Guo Peng became emperor, his life was even more luxurious.

It seems that the older he is, the less his ambition is. The more he cares about enjoying it in time, the more he cares about enjoying what he had not enjoyed before working hard to start a business, and completely loses the will to be enterprising.

Around mid-June, the news that Guo Peng had pacified Yizhou spread from Qingzhou to Liaodong, which made some of the Gongsun ministers feel uneasy.

His confidant subordinates Liu Yi and Yang Yi kept admonishing him, saying that they should carefully prevent threats from Liaoxi County and be careful to prevent Tian Yu's threats, but Gongsun Du did not take it seriously.

"I have tens of thousands of soldiers. Liaoze is in danger. Why do you fear it? If Tian Yu's son wants to cross Liaoze, can't I know in advance?"

Gongsun Du did not listen to Liu Yi and Yang Yi's advice, but instead felt impatient with their suggestions, believing that such a thing was not what he wanted to hear.

He just wants to know how much money he has made and how many luxury goods he likes can get.

Moreover, his sick body really makes him have no energy to worry about this.

Gongsun Du's current appearance is completely different from his talent and strategy to fight against the Liaodong alien race in his early years.

Gongsun Du, who was addicted to money and enjoyment, was no longer the same Gongsun Du back then.

Such Gongsun Du made Liu Yi and Yang Yi feel very embarrassed and worried.

In recent days, the fact that Gongsun Du was lingering in sickness due to excessive drinking and having fun made them feel even more worried.

Now Guo Peng has pacified the south, and his next target is either Jiaozhou or Liaodong. Liaodong is already in a very dangerous situation, but Gongsun Du doesn't take it seriously.

Liu Yi and Yang Yi felt that this would not work, so they made a comment to Gongsun Du on June 20, 20, 2016.

As a result, Gongsun Du lay on the sickbed and did not forget to scold them.

"He conquered Jingzhou and Yizhou in two years, yes! Awesome! But is it over if he defeated it? Does he not want to manage it? Do you do not need time to manage it? Does not require money? If Guo Zifeng can immediately raise an army to Liaodong, the word "Gu Gongsun" would be written upside down!"

Gongsun Du waved his hand very annoyedly and asked Liu Yi and Yang Yi to get out of here. The two had to leave Gongsun Du's ward in great depression.
