Chapter 15 Tong Xuan Liu Ping
Liu Ping followed Cao Ang out of the gate, waved his hand at the old butler, and accepted the cart of vegetables.
Then the two rode horses and went straight to the assassin's office.
Han Hao ordered the Tuntian soldiers to drive the remaining two carriages and follow behind, he didn't know that he had already walked through the ghost gate.
β¦β¦
In the Assassin's Office, Cao Cao rubbed his forehead vigorously with his arms, while Cheng Yu stood in front of him, shaking his head and sighing.
"How much money is left in the treasury?" Cao Cao asked without raising his head, and his tone was very weak: "In this catastrophe, all the vegetables are damaged, even if we all punish ourselves, I'm afraid we can't calm the anger of those who are used to it, or find a way to buy some vegetables from other places to deal with it for a while." β
It's okay for Cao Cao himself and the core figures of his Cao group to suffer a little, but let those big and small officials from the gate lord clan cut off vegetables from now on, and maybe some moths will come out.
After all, those people are elegant and elegant, and they usually pay attention to their diet, and if they cut off vegetables for half a year, they can't imagine it.
So Cao Cao thought about buying some vegetables from other places to deal with it.
There is frost in the north, but not in the south, not to mention other places, the territory of Xuzhou Taoqian and Huainan Yuanshu, which borders Yanzhou, is much closer to the south, and there must be no disaster.
Tao Qian even if he didn't take revenge for killing his father, how could he trade with him?
As for Yuan Shu, although there is a small friction between the two places, Cao Cao takes money to buy things, which is a matter of course, and presumably Yuan Shu will not fail to do this business.
"Back to the envoy, since the old lady's funding, we have made up for the three months' salary owed by the soldiers and officials, and more than half of that money has been removed, and the remaining money in the treasury may only support less than three months."
Cheng Yu shook his head as he spoke, although Cao Song has a lot of money, it is obviously not enough to support an army and the officials of the entire state capital with the strength of one family.
Cao Cao was thinking about taking advantage of this time to find a way to raise money, but he didn't expect that the disaster would not go alone, and the entire jurisdiction would suffer from frost again, which was really worse.
"Envoy, I think that Yuan Shu knows that we have a big enmity with Tao Qian, I'm afraid this guy will sit on the ground and raise the price."
Yuan Shu was born in a family, thinks very highly of himself, has a bad character, and usually looks down on Cao Cao, the county guard who started by eunuchs, and knows that Cao Cao's territory has suffered a disaster, so it is strange not to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Cao Cao sighed and said: "There is no way to take out half of the remaining money, no, one-third, and quickly send someone to contact Yuan Shu." β
One-third was a month's salary, which meant that he had to start a war within two months and steal money from other territories.
In fact, lack of money is a common problem of large and small princes in this era, and if you want to hold the territory, you must raise troops and pay military salaries.
But where does the money come from? It can only be robbed by waging war.
This has formed a situation in which big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp.
Cao Cao paused, suddenly raised his head and asked, "Why hasn't Ang'er come back yet, is it so difficult to fight with only one hundred and ten Tuntian soldiers?" β
Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside the door.
"Father!"
"Uncle!"
Liu Ping and Cao Ang came in to give a salute, and Cao Ang was still wearing armor.
Cao Cao hadn't seen Liu Ping for many days, and today he saw that he was safe and sound, so he nodded slightly and said, "Ping'er is also here, it's okay." β
At this time, I saw Han Hao kneeling outside the door: "The last general, Han Hao, see Cao Envoyjun." β
Cao Cao's face changed suddenly, and he stared at Cao Ang and scolded angrily: "Didn't you go to quell the rebellion?" Why not tie up this traitor? β
Han Hao: "......"
Han Hao was depressed, he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, is it not suitable to give gifts?
Sent to Liu Fujun's door, Liu Fujun didn't accept it, and sent it to Cao Yuanjun, Cao Yuanjun wanted to tie himself up, why is this?
Liu Ping was also puzzled, Han Hao had made a meritorious service, why did he tie it up?
I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here.
"There is a big happy event, you can't tie it up," Cao Ang knew the reason for this best, and said with a smile: "Let General Han come in and say it yourself." β
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, they were both confused, all they heard early this morning was disgusting, how could there be any happy event?
"Well, let him say it himself, why did he lead the troops to rebel?" Cao Cao said angrily.
Rebelling?
Han Hao was like being beaten with a stick, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood, where did this come from?
lent himself ten guts, and he didn't dare to bring a hundred or so Tuntian soldiers to rebel.
He crawled in frightened, knelt down in front of Cao Cao and said: "Envoy, wronged, the small one is to send food to Cao Envoy Jun and Liu Fujun, but the small one is confused for a while, and I sent it to Liu Fujun first, which one has no conscience ......?"
"Wait," Cao Cao keenly heard Han Hao's words say the word "send food", and he didn't care about the rest, so he categorically interrupted his chatter and asked, "You say, are you here to deliver food?" Where do you get your food from? Didn't your Shanyang County suffer from frost last night? β
Such a severe frost disaster, only Shanyang County was spared? That's impossible.
Han Hao knelt on the ground and said honestly: "Frost is naturally not spared, but the day before yesterday, the small one went to Liu Fujun's mansion to take up the above post, and Liu Fujun gave the small one a divine book, called "Cao Min Yaoshu", according to the records in the book, the small one had already known that there would be frost last night, so the small one had already picked all the vegetables and stored them in the vegetable cellar according to the method recorded in the book, so all the vegetables in Shanyang County had not been affected at all. β
"What did you say?" Cao Cao and Cheng Yu stood up at the same time, their eyes widened, and they said loudly.
Cao Cao believes in legalism, which is a bit too subversive of his cognition, how can frost be predicted? Sounds like metaphysics.
Could this Liu Ping still be able to pass through the mysteries?
He looked at Liu Ping who was smiling and groaning on the side, a refreshing young man at the age of seventeen or eighteen, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like that kind of person with great powers.
But can Han Hao, who is kneeling on the ground in front of him, lie to his face? If all the vegetables are not saved, his life will be lost.
Cheng Yu stayed for a long time before he said slowly: "Heaven and earth have a way, and people can't peek into it, if you want to say that the book written by Ping Gongzi can predict frost, this is really a bit unbelievable, but Han Duwei's words ......."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, what kind of unpredictable book is this Liu Ping writing?
It's incredible.
Han Hao saw that the two of them were skeptical, so he continued: "According to the book, it is sunny after the autumn rain, if the temperature drops badly, there will be frost that night.
However, the weather the day before yesterday was consistent with the record in the book, Liu Fujun and the eldest prince strictly ordered the small ones to act according to the records in the book, and the small ones did not dare to disobey, but they didn't expect to be really godly, and the records in the book were not bad at all, and all the vegetables in Shanyang County were spared.
Therefore, early this morning, in order to thank Liu Fujun for his great kindness, the small one specially took out three major cars from the vegetable cellar and prepared to come to Liu Fujun and make Jun Fujun, but he didn't expect Liu Fujun not to accept it, and then the eldest prince led the troops to arrive. β
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, then looked at Liu Ping and said, "Ping'er, tell me, what the hell is going on, how can you know these things, and still have such a divine book?" β
He didn't know what to say at this time, he was still cutting meat just now, and he wanted to take out a month's military salary to trade with Yuan Shu, and he was worried that Yuan Shu would sit on the ground and raise the price.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ping solved this matter so satisfactorily through a book, and saved half of Yanzhou's vegetables.
With these vegetables, he can survive this winter as soon as he is tight, which saves him a month's military salary.
At this time, it is self-evident how important a month's salary is.
Cheng Yu also felt incredible, when Liu Ping was writing a book behind closed doors at home, he was still criticizing it behind his back, and he was also worried that Liu Ping's book was incomprehensible and would make people laugh.
He was also worried that Liu Ping's absence from Shanyang would provoke the hearts of the displaced people.
But I never expected that the book written by Liu Ping would be so magical, and it would actually resolve such a big trouble in front of me.
At this time, he had the urge to get into the cracks in the ground again.
ββββββββββββ this is the dividing line for leaveββββββββββββββββββββ
