"Can you get kerosene?"

"How many?"

Ning Fan pondered for a moment, made a rough calculation, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Three thousand barrels!"

"hiss!"

Li Zhan took a deep breath and looked at Ning Fan in surprise: "Sir, do you want to..."

"Burn Edo!"

"This... I'm afraid it won't be easy!"

"Three thousand barrels of kerosene can be obtained, but the shogunate's eyes and ears are all over Edo City. We want to burn Edo under their noses, I'm afraid..."

"No problem!"

Ning Fan's expression was deep: "Just prepare the kerosene and leave the rest to me."

"Our army will arrive in ten days at the latest."

"The shogunate must have received the news now. Based on my speculation, the shogunate will definitely send troops to stop the attack at sea."

"They don't want to ignite the flames of war in their homeland!"

Li Zhan also nodded in agreement: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will send someone to make arrangements."

"Um!"

"Evil comes, you lead the seventy-two wolf cavalry into Edo and wait for my order!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Remember, don't act recklessly."

Dian Wei nodded and grinned: "Your Majesty, after we enter the city, we will directly book a brothel to stay. We will definitely not attract the attention of the shogunate."

"not necessarily!"

Ning Fan shook his head and said in a solemn tone: "The taverns, brothels, and local style houses in Edo City have the most eyes and ears. If you don't understand the language, you will be exposed easily."

"However, what you just said is a good idea. Let Li Zhan book a brothel for you."

"After you enter, seal it immediately!"

"yes!"

Dian Wei was a bad student, with a somewhat wretched look on his face, as if men who had been hurt by love were like this. From then on, he had a romantic and romantic life, lying drunk in the red pavilion.

"Sir, I have already ordered you to prepare the kerosene."

"I have also received news that in half a month it will be Emperor Ying's sixtieth birthday. At that time, the vassal kings of Yingzhou and the generals of the shogunate will come to the palace to celebrate his birthday!"

"Do you think you should take this opportunity..."

Hearing Li Zhan's words, Ning Fan waved his hand as if he had been given a shot of blood: "I, Dayu, must help with the birthday banquet of Emperor Ying."

"Li Zhan, how many manpower can we use in Edo?"

"Sir, there are more than 1,200 members of Black Ice Platform in Ying. There are more than 1,200 people in the headquarters and more than 3,000 people in the subordinate forces. If some peripheral gangs are added, it will be enough to mobilize 10,000 people!"

"Are you going to rebel?"

Ning Fan was also shocked. Although Black Ice Platform was the most important card in his hand, his funds were limited, especially in Yingzhou, which had only focused on operations in the past six months.

But I didn't expect it to be on such a large scale.

"Sir, we now control three important ferries in Yingzhou. Whether it is the shogunate, the royal family, or private gangs, we have a great say."

"As long as you give an order, we can cause chaos in Edo City."

"good!"

Ning Fan nodded with satisfaction and looked at Li Zhan with a friendly expression: "Li Zhan deserves a lot of credit for running Yingzhou to this point!"

"Li Zhan, since you can send dozens of people to Edo City, it must not be difficult to send a thousand or eight hundred people, right?"

"Thousands of children and eight hundred?"

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, and Ning Fan said leisurely: "In three days at most, Yingzhou will send its navy to stop my Dayu navy."

"And after they send out troops, there will be an opportunity in Edo Castle."

"If it goes well, it can turn things around in one fell swoop, or even directly destroy the shogunate and the royal family."

"Li Zhan, you immediately ask your people to start buying grain and grass, and let the gangs know that grain prices are about to rise. Pass the news to Edo merchants, landowners and big families."

"What's the deep meaning, sir?"

"Just do it!"

"yes!"

Li Zhan bowed respectfully and was about to leave, but Ning Fan suddenly said: "Send someone to contact the shogunate and tell them that you have channels and can buy Dayu's weapons, armor, and food!"

"What?"

Li Zhan looked horrified. Selling weapons and armor was a serious crime of beheading!

Not to mention that he is at the helm of a branch of Black Ice Platform, even the top leader of Black Ice Platform would never dare to violate this taboo!

"Sir, I forgive you for not obeying your orders!"

"Now that I, Dayu, am about to fight against Yingzhou, how can I resell my weapons?"

"Isn't that to support the enemy?"

Ning Fan took out a gold medal from his arms with a smile, and said the same four words with a smile: "Just do it!"

"Your Majesty... Your Highness?"

"No need to be polite, you just need to follow Gu's instructions."

"promise!"

Li Zhan suppressed the excitement on his face. He didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would come to Ying alone. He would still have the opportunity to serve under his command. He was so proud of his ancestors!

Time flies and it is three days.

With the news spread by Li Zhan, all the big landlords in Edo City were hoarding grain and grass. There was no change on the first day, but on the second day, the price of grain doubled due to the competition from all parties to purchase. .

By the third day, the food and grass on the market in Edo City had basically been sold out.

The price of grain has increased by more than three times compared to before. Many people even sold the surplus grain at home. Their faces were filled with joy. It was obvious that they made a lot of money from this grain transaction.

Li Zhan also sent people to get in touch with an old Chinese from the shogunate and reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.

"Li Zhan, start selling off the food and grass we have on a small scale."

"Spread the news, the grain price will continue to fall tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Li Zhan's face was full of admiration. They quietly collected grain in advance, and by the time the major families reacted, they had already purchased a lot of grain.

As the grain price continued to rise, Li Zhan had almost sold all the grain in his hands.

At that time, it was time to start harvesting.

This simplest operation has been manipulated by many noble families in the Central Plains, but in Yingzhou, although some families can see through it, they are still willing to join the game.

Because of him, it's all about making money!

Three days later, Li Zhan sent news that Dayu's navy was only thirty miles away from Yingzhou, and the shogunate sent 30,000 soldiers and more than a thousand ships to intercept.

The war at sea was about to break out.

In Edo City, the grain price plummeted, from three times the previous grain price to three quarters of the usual price.

Ning Fan ordered Li Zhan to continue to buy back in large quantities. After such a toss, the grain in hand was five times more than before.

Blood profit!

"Your Highness, Marshal Zhou's navy is about to make contact with Yingzhou's navy."

"Our troops have been arranged to enter the city."

"Yes!"

"What is the movement of the shogunate?"

"A batch of weapons have been sold, and they have made a lot of money through our channels."

"Keep sending!"

Ning Fan showed a sinister smile on his face. It won't be long before these beasts will cry.

It just solved the problem of updating Dayu's weapons and armor!
