Hearing Han Zhan ask this, Tai Shici's face couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression, and after he bowed to Han Zhan, he said in embarrassment: "Lord, it's not that his subordinates refuse to entertain the lord, it's really because there is no wine and food in the city. ”

"What, you can't buy food and drinks in the city?" After listening to Tai Shici's reply, Han Zhan couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and secretly said that although this city is not big, it is not so poor that he can't buy wine and food, right? He was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Ziyi, what the hell is going on, hurry up and listen." ”

"Back to the lord's words," Tai Shi Ci said with a guilty face, "After his subordinates recruited thousands of recruits in Yangzhou, there is still a lot of money left. After being trapped in this city by Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, he began to be able to buy grain from grain merchants for his soldiers to eat. Who knew that a few days ago, several major grain merchants in the city suddenly said that they had run out of grain and refused to sell grain to their subordinates, which led to the army cutting off grain ......"

With a loud bang, Han Zhan raised his foot and kicked the dwarf in front of him over, and said in his mouth: "Unscrupulous profiteers, maliciously cutting off our military rations, their hearts can be punished, they should be killed, they should be killed!" Someone, someone! ”

Chen Dao, who was standing outside the hall, heard Han Zhan's shout, and hurriedly walked into the main hall, waiting for Han Zhan's orders.

Han Zhan nodded twice at Chen Zhixu with his hand, and said angrily: "Uncle Zhi, you immediately take people to arrest those damn grain merchants one by one. ”

Without waiting for Chen Zhi to leave, Guo Jia asked tentatively: "Lord, I don't know what you plan to do with these grain merchants?" ”

"Kill, don't leave one, kill them all!" Han Zhan said angrily: "Ben Hou wants to let these shameless villains understand what fate they will use if they offend Ben Hou." ”

"My lord, please think twice." Knowing that Han Zhan planned to kill all the grain merchants in the city, Guo Jia hurriedly dissuaded: "Our army will enter Xuzhou sooner or later, if we wantonly slaughter the grain merchants in Xuzhou at this moment, I am afraid that the reputation of our army will be hindered." ”

"Fengxiao, it is precisely because our army will enter Xuzhou sooner or later that we must severely punish these grain merchants, so as not to make the local heroes think that our army is weak and can be bullied." After Han Zhan explained a few words to Guo Jia in an uncharacteristically stern tone, he instructed Chen Dao: "Uncle Zhi, not only must all the grain merchants be arrested, but also their family property will be confiscated......

Speaking of this, Han Zhan was silent for a long time, silently thinking about how to dispose of these grain merchants' family property in his heart. After coming up with a charter, he continued: "As for the confiscated grain merchants' property, three parts will be distributed to the people of the city, and the rest will be used as military funds." ”

Seeing that Han Zhan had already made up his mind, Guo Jia did not persuade again, he also felt that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, he really needed to stand up, otherwise even if he captured the city of Xuzhou, he would not be able to gain a foothold here. He just asked: "Lord, Uncle Zhi can lead his troops to confiscate the property of the grain merchant, but I don't know who you plan to send to supervise the beheading?" ”

Han Zhan's gaze turned to Yu Qianling, who was sitting in the corner, and a smile appeared on his face again: "This gentleman, isn't this the Yu Qianling that General Ziyi said?" ”

Yu Qianling heard Han Zhan call himself, and hurriedly got up and bowed down: "If you go back to Anyang Hou, it is the villain." ”

Ever since Han Zhan decided to send troops to Qingzhou and prepare to unify the four northern states, he has been constantly searching for talents, but because he is too young and has a shallow foundation, even if he coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the talents who come to defect are very limited. Although this Yu Qianling is not well-known, since he can take the initiative to vote, he is ready to entrust this person with an important responsibility.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan smiled and said, "Since Mr. took the initiative to vote, Ben Hou will never treat you badly." He thought about it quickly for a moment, and felt that he had just captured Qingzhou, and he needed a large number of officials to govern it, and the Yu Qianling standing in front of him could be sent over first, "Now in Le'an County, Qingzhou, there is a vacant position, I don't know if Mr. is willing to give in?" ”

Yu Qianling abandoned the official and left with Tai Shi Ci, just because his old master Liu Xuan fell behind in the competition for Yangzhou with Yuan Shu, even if he continued to stay, I am afraid that he would not be able to keep his official position, so he took the initiative to give up his official position and followed Tai Shi Ci to Qingzhou to join Han Zhan.

When he was trapped in Licheng by Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, Yu Qianling secretly regretted it in his heart. If it weren't for the nowhere to go, I'm afraid it would have slipped away a long time ago. Fortunately, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops to relieve the siege, which freed him from despair. Seeing Han Zhan come to Licheng in person, he was still thinking about how to attract the attention of the other party, and he could ask for a half-official position.

Yu Qianling never dreamed that Han Zhan was so generous, and he actually made himself a Taishou, although Le'an County is not a big county in Qingzhou, but no matter what, the power is much greater than when he was in the Qianling before. He hurriedly knelt down in front of Han Zhan and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”

"Sir, please get up!" After Han Zhan let Yu Qianling get up, he remembered that he didn't know what the other party's order was, and hurriedly asked tentatively, "I don't know what Mr. should call him?" ”

Hearing Han Zhan ask his name, Yu Qianling hurriedly replied: "If you return to the lord, your subordinate is surnamed Wang Minghun, and his name is Xuanchong, and he is from Yangzhou. ”

"Wang Taishou," after knowing the other party's name, Han Zhan nodded and continued: "Benhou ordered his subordinates to arrest the grain merchants in the city, please draft a notice to list the crimes of these grain merchants and let the people in the city know." And after they have been punished by canonical punishment, then you will go and distribute food to the people. I wonder if Wang Taishou is willing? ”

After Wang Hun was appointed by Han Zhan as the Taishou of Le'an County, he was looking for an opportunity to perform. Hearing Han Zhan's arrangement, he hurriedly replied, "Since the lord has an order, his subordinates should obey it." ”

After Wang Hun and Chen Zhi left, Guo Jia looked at their backs, thinking about Han Zhan's intention to arrange this, and couldn't help but bow slightly.

Guo Jia's action was seen by Han Zhan. Han Zhan smiled and asked, "Fengxiao, have you guessed the purpose of Benhou's arrangement?" ”

Guo Jia turned around and replied with a smile on his face: "The lord gave Wang Hun the post of Taishou in order to buy bones for a thousand gold, and presumably a large number of talented people will come to join him soon. As for letting him be on the list and disposing of those grain merchants, it is to test his ability, if he is really talented and learned, with the character of the lord, he will definitely be of great use to him in the future. ”

After Han Zhan waited for Guo Jia to finish speaking, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Feng Xiao is really a god, and he actually guessed Ben Hou's mind so thoroughly. Benhou has your help, why worry about not being able to unify the four northern states. ”
