In Hanjing City, after a short rest, various cities and towns ushered in a rush of buying. Daily necessities such as grain and toilet paper have become hard currency in people's eyes. As far as civilians are concerned, shortages of supplies are a more terrifying thing than defeat, and famine is particularly frightening.

At this time, most of the people who could still sell things in the market were well-dressed and powerful people. They either sell surplus supplies from the military or sell relief items from government warehouses. In order to obtain much more money than usual, countless people are willing to take risks. Especially those elites from other tribes, their loyalty to the royal family seems to be far less than their loyalty to gold. At this critical moment, most people think about how to avoid disaster later.

The underground economy during the war, which should have been contained, became increasingly violent due to the inaction of the upper class in the Northern Han Dynasty. Hanking is the most urbanized city in Northern Han Dynasty. The city has been closed for more than a month, which is enough for rats to find food.

In an underground market in the center of the city, two Kazakhs wearing towels were welcomed by people. In times of high prices, their goods are always a quarter cheaper than others, and are of a complete variety. If you trade with gold, you can even buy some meat, cheese or even fine wine.

In addition, the most powerful thing about the two Kazakhs is that in addition to cash transactions, they are willing to lend money at very high interest rates to certain people with good credit - the so-called people with good credit are usually the four members of the imperial court. Officials of high rank or above, or nobles with titles, only they can receive three times the interest. Although high interest rates are so expensive, in this precarious moment, few people care about how much they have to pay back in 10 days. Some people even secretly believe that when the Northern Han Dynasty ceases to exist, the money will naturally not need to be paid back.

However, two days, three days, and four days passed, and the Northern Han Dynasty still existed, but the debts were piling up. Those gentlemen with good credit who had borrowed money not only faced the problem of repaying the debts, but also often needed to pay back the debts. Buy new items.

In this case, the Kazakh people, supported by certain princes, began to lobby in the mansions of the nobles.

Needless to say, these Ha clansmen are internal agents that have been prepared by the Daxia Military Department for a long time.

In fact, as early as 20 years ago, Daxia had been secretly communicating with some tribes in the Northern Han Dynasty. Many of the successors of the tribes had successfully seized the central power. They were not necessarily prepared to serve as puppet soldiers for the Xia Dynasty, but they also did many things to gain some benefits by selling out other insufficient interests.

Now that the Northern Han Dynasty is about to fall apart, not to mention the nobles, even the nobles of the royal family are alienated, and these Han people are acting more actively.

After receiving the request from the Ministry of War, they did not hesitate to take out the materials they had reserved and sell them on the market. Once they obtained the debt, they would exchange it for information or generous interest.

In fact, for them, this is a business that is sure to make a profit. Before the city of Han was destroyed, they could sell grain as expensive as pearls, and the debt they received far exceeded the usury. Even if the city of Han was destroyed, through the occupying army and Daxia's Friends, they can still make their money back, and it's possible to even make a fortune again.

Even during daily defense changes, in the defense area belonging to the Kazakh people, whole boxes of food would occasionally appear, most of which were grains with moisture removed, and occasionally there were condiments such as salt and sugar.

In return, the Great Xia War Department can receive a steady stream of intelligence.

But only a small part of them are useful.

However, Han Wei is a very eloquent person and can describe simple things in interesting and rich language. He reported his work to Cheng Jinzhou every day. No matter how little his achievements were, he sounded serious. But on the seventh day, he finally made substantial progress - "It is said that at the beginning, the supplies were shipped to The warehouses in Fengqian Port and later transported to Hanjing and stored in them all belong to the royal family."

On the fifteenth day, the scope was further narrowed, and the agents even found a list, which was the entry and exit voucher for the warehouse. Based on it, they could determine who had been to the warehouse.

At this time, the endurance of the Daxia generals also reached its limit. The whole army was waiting to complete their victory in one battle and then go home to celebrate the New Year. However, Cheng Jinzhou only allowed them to carry out small-scale attacks. The purpose was just to retain the tactical advantage. Many generals kept sending requests, and what they got was the same. Continuous rejection.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at the list that had been reduced to 10 people, nodded silently, and finally ordered: "Han Wei, go and summon the main generals for a meeting."

The military judge left happily. Classmate Xiao Cheng grabbed the koala off his shoulder, threw the list to him and said, "Look, who do you think looks like a border crosser?"

Yisu was bored and twisted in his hands unwillingly: "When I get stronger, you will dare to catch me again."

"Hundreds of kilograms of materials, the star warlocks refine them into a few kilograms, and then give them to you for use. The final addition to the body is only a few hundred grams. How long will it take for you to become stronger?"

Dean's astrologers, who are inclined to chemistry, are still refining various compounds. On the one hand, this can train their abilities, and on the other hand, it can also find a reason to provide subsidies, so that the chemical astrologers will not know what they are studying. If they ignore it, according to the tendency of the astrologers, they will probably spend their energy on Considering the relationship between mathematics and chemistry, as far as Cheng Jinzhou's experience is concerned, there has never been sufficient experiments and data records. If you focus on the two, it will not be very efficient.

Izuku groaned and looked at the list. In terms of his life and goals, spending tens or hundreds of years is nothing, unlike many impatient gentlemen who always take one or two years too seriously.

"I don't have much impression of the names in it." After a long time, Yisu gave this answer.

Cheng Jinzhou pointed to the "Society" column above and said, "The most suspicious thing now is Prince Fangzheng and the warehouse manager. In terms of their status, it seems that they don't need to travel to such a small place..."

"Fangzheng seems to have been going to that warehouse every month for half a year. Why do you suspect him?" Yisu asked strangely: "In contrast, I think not only the warehouse manager is suspected, but the royal eunuch in charge is also suspected. , it is possible for him to save a large amount of money, and after using it to make the first batch of purchases, he can always make some money."

"Maybe Fangzheng is used to going to the warehouse, so he puts the materials in the warehouse after buying them." Cheng Jinzhou said halfway, but felt that it didn't make sense, and then said: "How can the border crosser be a eunuch...wait..."

Yisu praised: "That's right, border crossers can use any identity to hide themselves, including eunuchs."

Cheng Jinzhou looked embarrassed and said cowardly: "I originally thought that border crossers might be happier if they could become fake eunuchs..."
