By the time Qin Feng descended the mountain again, it was already very late, and there were beautiful stars in the sky, and a round of jade plates hung high in the night sky, exuding a faint ghostly light.

Although Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing kept it in every possible way, Qin Feng still hoped to be able to go down the mountain quickly with Dian Wei.

Although there is still a period of time before attacking Yanzhou, there are still many things that Qin Feng needs to handle and verify one by one.

The breeze blew slowly along the way, blowing the branches on both sides of the road, and the insects in the woods were louder and louder.

Qin Feng and Dian Wei were running tirelessly on the road, and suddenly a black figure appeared in front of them, and they also rushed from the front of the road.

Seeing this, Dian Wei hurriedly pulled out the halberd on his back to make a defensive gesture, although the surroundings of Jixian County were all Qin Feng's home field, but no one dared to guarantee that there would be assassins sneaking here.

A man in black running on such a steep mountain at night doesn't look like an ordinary person no matter how you look at it.

The man in black was also overjoyed when he saw Qin Feng, and ran towards Qin Feng even faster, but stopped when he was still five meters away from Qin Feng.

I saw that Dian Wei had already taken out the flying halberd on his waist, as long as the man in black dared to move, I am afraid that the little flying halberd would also appear on the body of the man in black.

"Lord!" Just when Dian Wei was secretly on guard, the man in black suddenly saluted respectfully, "According to the news, the Huang family and Zhuge Kongming have arrived in Yanzhou, and they will reach the land of Youzhou through Merge Prefecture in a few days!" ”

After hearing the words of the man in black, Qin Feng and Dian Wei understood that this was their intelligence officer, and they remembered that they had such orders before because they cared too much about Zhuge Liang.

After finding out the news of Zhuge Liang, he told himself as soon as possible, and now it seems that his subordinates are doing well.

"Kong Ming is coming! It seems that the state pastor of Yanzhou has been chosen! Qin Feng said to himself, and then waved his hand casually.

The man in black was also a person with vision, and after seeing Qin Feng waving his hand, he saluted and rushed towards the road where he came, as if there were still many things waiting for him to complete.

"Okay, let's go back! Let's go back to the camp outside the city and rest for the night! Qin Feng raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky and said slowly.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he followed Dian Wei and rushed forward quickly under the moonlight, just like a spirit monkey on the mountain, constantly jumping left and right and gradually disappearing into the distant road......

Just when Youzhou was beginning to assemble an army to prepare for war, Cao Cao was sitting in the study with a sad face, silently looking at the map on the table.

At this time, he didn't care about Youzhou's revenge, because according to the current situation in Youzhou, although he could start a war, Qin Feng couldn't eat this Yanzhou land.

Therefore, for his sneak attack on the Tiger Prison, since Gao Shun has no life safety, it would be good to use some money and food to compensate, and he didn't have to worry about his safety at all.

Now Cao Cao's headache is the sudden emergence of people's livelihood practices in Yanzhou, due to the actions of the Zhen family, most of the people in Yanzhou have suddenly lost their ability to flow money.

Not to mention the hands of the people

Coins have suddenly lost more than half of their value, and in some places even eating has become a problem.

If this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be a large-scale famine in various parts of Yanzhou.

Cao Cao raised his head to look at the young man in a Confucian robe in front of him and asked slowly, "Changwen, now that our situation is like this, what do you think!" ”

Cao Cao said as he glanced at the young man in front of him, this person is said to be a student of the same period as Guo Jiaxunyu, but because of Qin Feng's relationship, he did not go to Youzhou, but chose to further his studies in his own family.

It wasn't until a few days ago that the civil famine incident began to break out in Yanzhou, which was a sales method of the major families, so they didn't have much suspicion about Chen Qun.

"Lord Zhou Mu, the fundamental reason for these famines is that there is no channel for the circulation of materials in the hands of the people!" Chen Qun said elegantly.

Chen Qun can be said to know the situation in Yanzhou clearly, and the Chen family has done enough to push him out, almost as long as Chen Qun wants to know the news, it will appear in front of Chen Qun in an hour at most.

"Channels?! Long article: Do you mean those businessmen? Cao Cao said with some hesitation, and his eyes couldn't help flashing with a few essences.

"That's right!" Chen Qun said firmly, "Although the merchants are the lowest, they are also the existence that connects various villages or towns, as long as those merchants stop operating, there will be an accumulation or shortage of materials in various places. ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, although Chen Qun pointed out the key point, but he was deeply limited by his original thoughts, Cao Cao said that he didn't believe that those businessmen had such great ability.

In the eyes of the world, those businessmen are just opportunistic and lowly occupations, how can they cause such great harm.

Chen Qun saw that Cao Cao nodded in confusion, but he only smiled slightly and had no interest in continuing to explain.

Cao Cao only needs to know that he can solve this situation, and what is the use of not explaining the rest.

"Since Changwen caused the Yanzhou chaos caused by these businessmen, what should we do now? Do you want me to invite the merchants? Cao Cao said with some displeasure, his eyes full of inquiry.

Chen Qun shook his head slightly, not looking impatient at all, but said lightly, "It is indeed a bit of a price drop to invite those businessmen with the talent of the state pastor, and there are three plans here, I don't know which one the state pastor is willing to listen to?" ”

"Oh!" Cao Cao said with some surprise, "If that's the case, I hope you come quickly!" ”

Looking at Cao Cao's somewhat impatient appearance, Chen Qun said lightly, "The plan is to find Qin Feng in Youzhou, this time the merchants in Yanzhou stopped operating because of Qin Feng's father-in-law, Zhen Yi, as long as Qin Feng opened his mouth, everything can be even." ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly after hearing Chen Qun's words, "This is a good way, but Youzhou is too far away from me, Yanzhou can't wait for us to go to find Qin Feng, and we were only ...."

Cao Cao didn't continue, but Chen Qun also understood what Cao Cao said, this

It can be said that the matter has spread widely in the northern land, and Cao Cao's reputation has become a little bad because of these public opinions.

"Ahem, the middle plan is to lure the state pastor from other states or to local businessmen, and make certain concessions on policies and tariffs, as long as the businessmen take action, then this matter is not difficult!"

Chen Qun coughed lightly twice and said, his eyes were full of indifference, in fact, he admired the first strategy even more, but now with the relationship between Cao Cao and Qin Feng, it can be said that there is no way to speak of it.

"It's not a good thing, not only will we lose a lot of taxes, but we'll also make people laugh at me." After Cao Cao heard Chen Qun's words, he hurriedly shook his head and said.

At the same time, his eyes couldn't help but be a little low, the middle plan is like this'humiliation', so what is the situation of the next plan, Cao Cao has no imaginary idea at all.

"Since Lord Governor wants to pay taxes, then this last plan can be said to be very appetizing for Lord Governor Governor!" Chen Qun said with an evil smile.

"Oh! I don't know what this last plan is! After Cao Cao heard Chen Qun say this, he couldn't help but be aroused by Chen Qun's interest.

Chen Qun smiled slightly, "This plan is very simple, that is, the state pastor can set up a caravan by himself, and then carry out merchant activities under his rule!" In this way, not to mention the tax money, even the money earned by those merchants is owned by the state shepherd. ”

After Cao Cao heard Chen Qun's words, his whole body became energetic, and his face was about to smile like a black flower.

"What a wonderful plan for a long article! But why is this a plan? Is there any harm in it? Fortunately, Cao Cao was not a mediocre person, and soon found out what was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"Lord Governor's plan is a double-edged sword, when he hurts the enemy, he will also hurt himself, and those are the biggest benefits that Lord Governor can obtain!" Chen Qun shook the fan in his hand and said.

"I don't know what the disadvantages are?" Cao Cao asked solemnly, this is a matter of his own great cause.

"There are naturally disadvantages, the most serious of which is that merchants outside Yanzhou will squeeze the caravan of the lord, after all, this is infringing on their interests, and they may not be willing to sell materials from other states to Yanzhou for a long time..."

After Chen Qun finished speaking, he pushed the teacup in front of him to the center of the table and said, "For example, if we lack iron ore or grain harvest in the state, it will be difficult for us to buy iron ore and grain and grass in other places. ”

After Cao Cao heard Chen Qun's words, he instantly calmed down, this can be described as a big gamble, betting that his rule will always be a peaceful harvest year, otherwise these famines will only be a symptom rather than a cure.

"In that case, it seems that this last resort will not be used!" Cao Cao said with a headache, "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, since this is the case, let's lower the tax a little first and see how the effect is decided!" ”

In fact, there is another way that Cao Cao and Chen Qun both know, that is, to let the family replace the position of a merchant, but this also means that the family is not only gradually mastering Yanzhou in terms of power, but also fighting hard in terms of money.....
