Chapter 239: Yuan Shao begged for food
The disaster relief work was in full swing, and everything seemed to be in an orderly state, which made Xiang Han very pleased.
"Lord, Yuan Shao is coming!" Jia Xu said.
"Oh? Yuan Shao!? Xiang Han smiled slightly, he could guess what Yuan Shao sent someone to do, "Who did you send?" ”
"Brother Xinbi, Xin Ping!" Jia Xu replied.
"Hehe, bring him here!" Xiang Han smiled and looked at the endless grassland in front of him, no, it should be called Snow Field now!
"Yes!" Jia Xu nodded and ordered someone to bring Xin Ping.
Xin Ping originally went to Jinyang, but after arriving in Jinyang, he learned that Xiang Han was not there, but went to the northern grassland!
What can I do?
Xin Ping ran out of ideas for a while, and after shaking his head, he could only ask someone to bring him to the grassland!
"Xin Ping, I've seen Lord Thorn Shi!" After Xin Ping saw Xiang Han, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
The previous negotiation with Xiang Han was his younger brother Xin Bi, and Xiang Han took a fancy to Xin Bi at a glance, although he didn't know why, but now Xin Bi is in Bingzhou, it can be said that he is fragrant and spicy, and what about him? can only follow Yuan Shao to drink gruel every day.
"Well, what's the matter with Yuan Shao?" The corners of Xiang Han's mouth rose slightly, he seemed to be able to guess Xin Ping's intention, but he just didn't take the initiative to point it out!
"Lord Thorn Shi, because of this snow disaster, the resources in the hands of my lord can be said to be too little, and most of the people in Qingzhou are still starving, so I wonder if Lord Thorn Shi can give me some grain and grass to give to the people of Qingzhou?" Xin Ping's words were very tactful.
However, Xin Ping's words also fully expressed his purpose, that is, to order food from Xiang Han, but he didn't want to pay any price!
After listening to Xin's comments, Xiang Han smiled: "It's really funny, does Mr. Zhongzhi think that the grain in my state is blown by the wind, and he says that there is one?" ”
"This ...... Of course not. Xin Ping laughed, "Our lord will naturally pay the corresponding gold and silver in return!" ”
"Corresponding to gold and silver?" Xiang Han shook his head disdainfully, "I don't have any extra food to give him Yuan Shao's disaster relief!" ”
"But ......" Xin Ping was speechless for a while, and if there is food in the state, haven't you counted it in your heart? No food? What do you think? After the autumn harvest before, how much grain did Xiang Han buy? Countless, right?
That time, basically half of all the grain reserves in Qingzhou were directly emptied! If it weren't for Xiang Han's acquisition, how could Yuan Shao not be able to take out a little food to help the disaster now?
And if he had known about the appearance of this snow disaster, how could Yuan Shao sell so much grain to Xiang Han?
"Don't say anything, I'm sorry Mr. Zhongji, this time I may have to let you run for nothing, I really don't have any extra food to give to Mr. Xiang Han smiled slightly.
Looking at Xiang Han's harmless smile, the corners of Xin Ping's mouth twitched, it seems that this time it is destined to be in vain!
In desperation, Xin Ping shook his head and turned to leave, he wanted to quickly tell Yuan Shao the news.
"Lord, do you really not give Yuan Shao food?" After Xin Ping left, Jia Xu appeared behind Xiang Han at some point.
"What do you think?" The corners of Xiang Han's mouth rose slightly, and he asked Jia Xu rhetorically.
"The lord already has an idea in his heart, doesn't he?" Jia Xu smiled slightly, did not say what he thought, but instead kicked the ball back.
"Hahahaha!" Xiang Han laughed and said, "If you want food, how can you do it without paying a little price?" ”
Jia Xu nodded, and a smile appeared on his face, but this smile made people shudder.
Xiang Han couldn't help but shiver directly, then turned around and walked into a tent.
……
"Lord, this cold doesn't want to give us any food...... After returning to Linzi, Xin Ping told Yuan Shao what happened to him on this trip to the state.
After Yuan Shao heard this, he was angry, and there was no food? What about liars, right?
However, Yuan Shao had no way to vent, since Xiang Han didn't give food, what should he do? It seems that I can only work together and tighten my belt!
"You go down first!" Yuan Shao waved his hand.
"Yes! Subordinates retire! Xin Ping nodded and turned to leave.
"You say, do we still have to go to Xiang Han to ask for food now?" Yuan Shao sighed and said.
"Lord, in fact, if you don't ask for it, it's okay, we can save some more, save more than half a year, as long as we survive this snow disaster, the whole spring and summer, and in the autumn, after the autumn harvest, we will also have food!" Guo Tu said.
"But will we really make it through?" Yuan Shao frowned.
"It's okay!" Feng Ji also spoke at the right time, "Our current food, if it is calculated, there should be no problem!" ”
"That's good, it's better to endure hardship than to ask Xiang Han!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said, "You guys go and arrange it!" ”
"Yes!" The two nodded.
"Humph! If you don't give it to me, can't I do it if I don't want it? Yuan Shao snorted coldly.
As for Yuan Shu and Ma Teng, who were further away, they didn't want to contact Xiang Han at all, and after thinking about it, they still decided to grit their teeth, and forget it after hearing about it for more than half a year!
So, in addition to Xiang Han, Cao Cao and Sun Jian (Yizhou and Jingzhou are not counted), the princes tightened their belts, but they did not go to Xiang Han to ask for alms!
"Interesting!" The corners of Xiang Han's mouth rose slightly, "I didn't expect them to be quite backbone!" ”
"My lord, what shall we do now?" Jia Xu was a little puzzled, frowned and asked.
"Don't bother with anything, we just do our own!" Xiang Han shook his head, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, he didn't want to come and pray to him? Yes, as long as you can handle it yourself, but is it really as simple as tightening your belt?
"Yes!" Jia Xu nodded.
"I have a letter here, you go and send it to Kong Rong and let him appear in the next issue of "Bingzhou Daily"!" Xiang Han seemed to have expected such an outcome a long time ago, so he had already prepared this letter.
When he saw the letter, Jia Xu was obviously stunned, could it be that Xiang Han had already expected that Yuan Shao and the others would refuse to send another envoy? That's a little too godly, isn't it?
In fact, what Jia Xu didn't know was that this article had been prepared by Xiang Han for a long time, and it was originally going to be published in the newspaper to do some publicity for his territory, but now, with the qi Yuan Shao sending a messenger to come, Xiang Han's mind suddenly changed!
Perhaps, it would be much better to publish the letter directly in the newspaper than to publish it later!
