The price of grain in Jizhou has risen, partly because of the war, and partly because of Ye Chen.

The Ye family has a certain foundation in Jizhou, and began to experience Jizhou a few years ago, and has many connections in Jizhou.

The biggest relationship in Jizhou is the relationship with the Zhen family, although the Zhen family and Yuan Shao are allies, and the Zhen family fully supports the Yuan family to raise troops, but the relationship with the Ye family is also good.

Ye Chen wrote a letter to Zhen Yi and asked him to sell a batch of grain to Ye Chen, so that he could use it to recruit homeless people.

Ye Chen's order to recruit homeless people was known to the world, and Zhen Yi did not doubt it, and raised 200,000 stone of food for Ye Chen.

"Zhang Qing, there is still no way to make Jizhou's grain rise again." rose by fifty percent, Ye Chen was not satisfied, he wanted to mess up Jizhou and drag Yuan Shao back.

"My lord, we've run out of counterfeit money." Zhang Qing spread his hands and said that he had no ammunition and could not do anything about it.

Ye Chen is helpless, now the price of grain is too high, if you want to continue to make trouble, you have to come up with real money, but the Ye family is also very difficult now, in the past few months, more than 500,000 displaced people have been recruited from various places in the Han Dynasty, these people have to eat and drink, and they have to settle them, which is a huge amount of money.

Ye Chen estimated that this group of homeless people could squander all the huge money he had obtained from the royal bank.

All the huge sums of money in the royal bank were hacked by him, and they were stored in various places, and now a large number of displaced people are recruited from all over the country, and the cost of these displaced people to migrate long distances is too great.

"Alas, it's cheap Yuan Shao's kid, so I can only make him uncomfortable from other places." After thinking about it, Ye Chen finally gave up attacking Jizhou's economy, otherwise he would have injured the enemy by 1,000 and suffered 800 self-losses.

"By the way, how is the illegal salt sold in Jizhou?" Ye Chen thought about the matter of private salt again, if private salt could open the market in Jizhou, it would not be bad.

"My lord, it's not going well, and now the salt sold in Jizhou is less than one-tenth of that of a county in Nanyang."

Ye Chen waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's not so easy to make things happen in Jizhou, just do as much as you can." ”

The Zhen family, Zhen Yi, who is far away in Jizhou, has also been troubled by some things recently.

"Master, this is the counterfeit money that appears on the market, if you don't pay attention to it, it's really hard to find." Saying that, the head of the Zhen family took out a large handful of copper coins.

Zhen Yi picked up a copper coin and observed it carefully, and found that there were indeed slight differences from the real copper coin.

"Master, what to do with these copper coins?"

"Use it as usual." Zhen Yi gave such an answer.

In fact, it is not surprising that Zhen Yi did this, these copper coins are of very good quality, ancient copper represents money, even if a piece of copper is not minted into a copper coin, it can be used as money.

The quality of these copper coins does not have to be poor in the imperial court, the only difference is that the source is not correct, and it is a big crime to mint copper coins privately, but who cares now.

In fact, when the princes of the late Han Dynasty were competing for hegemony, many princes minted copper coins by themselves to circulate and use.

"Do you know where these copper coins come from?" Zhen Yi tossed the copper coin to the chief manager, and then asked.

"The head of the family, not only this batch of privately minted copper coins appeared in Jizhou City, but also a lot of salt, the quality of these salts is very good, and the price is very low, it is still quite popular in Jizhou City, but the amount is not large, so we did not track it down, but we found that the Ye family in Liaodong seems to be related to these." The manager told Zhen Yi what he knew.

"Okay, this matter is over, there is no need to continue to investigate, now that food prices have risen sharply and the market is unstable, you should pay more attention to it, if there is any change, report it immediately."

The head of Zhen's mansion said that he had stepped down, and Zhen Yi stood alone and looked out the window.

"Has the Ye family also been involved?"

Zhen Yi believed that the Ye family would be involved, and he had already received the news of the conflict between him and Yuan Shao, but despite this, Zhen Yi still chose to help Ye Chen and sell him food, the reason is very simple, he has seen this era when the world has collapsed and he will die in the future.

He is most optimistic about Yuan Shao, so he tied his net worth to Yuan Shao, this time Yuan Shao sent troops, and the Zhen family gave full support, although he pressed the treasure on Yuan Shao, but he would not offend the Ye family.

There are many roads, and there may be unexpected benefits in the future, not to mention that Ye Chen is also the candidate he has been observing, but his power is in Jizhou, and the foundation of the Yuan family is also in Jizhou, so he chooses Yuan Shao as the most suitable choice.

Although there was instability in the rear of the Allied forces, the soldiers on the front line fought well, and both the Tiger Prison Pass and the Bishui Pass were under tremendous pressure.

After Yuan Shao retreated to Sour Zao with his army, he reactivated Sun Jian and let Sun Jian storm the Tiger Prison Pass, which was almost broken for a time.

In Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo couldn't sit still anymore.

"Li Ru, the matter of moving the capital is ready." Dong Zhuo was anxious to move the capital to Chang'an, so he had already ordered Li Ru to deal with the matter.

"Master, everything is almost ready, but there is one thing that has not been resolved." Li Ru hesitated and said.

"What's the matter? I'll give you the monopoly to solve it as soon as possible. Dong Zhuo was very unhappy when he heard it, he couldn't wait to leave Chang'an now, and now he couldn't stay in Luoyang for a moment.

"Taishi, this Ye Chen's fleet often appears in Mengjin, Mengjin is too close to Luoyang, as soon as there is movement on our side, he will inevitably find that if we still send a force to watch it like now, our troops will inevitably be insufficient, if we don't send troops to watch Ye Chen, then Ye Chen may pass through the Yellow River, march quickly, and sneak attack us."

"Smack"

Dong Zhuo slapped the table vigorously, and said angrily: "There is Ye Chen everywhere, is this Ye Chen the nemesis of the old man?" Can any of you go and take off his head, and I, the Grand Master, will be for him. ”

Dong Zhuo was furious, Li Ru and several other subordinates were silent, Ye Chen's strength could fight with Lu Bu for hundreds of rounds, and there were so many troops around him, wouldn't it be a joke to take his head.

"Li Ru, think of a way immediately, give you three days, you must come up with a way." Dong Zhuo finished speaking loudly, flicked his sleeves and left, he was really angry, and he wanted to go to the palace to find a few palace maids to vent.

Li Ru's frightened cold sweat came out, and he didn't dare to raise his head until Dong Zhuo walked away.

"Ye Chen, Ye Chen, you are not only the nemesis of the Taishi, but also my nemesis." Li Ru found that he had not gained the upper hand once except for designing for him to turn against Yuan Shao, and his opposition to Yuan Shao was just to speed up the process, without him, Ye Chen and Yuan Shao would have to turn against Yuan Shao sooner or later.

"I can only see if I can talk to Ye Chen about the conditions." Li Ru thought as he walked, no matter how resourceful he was, he couldn't find any good way for a while.
