In the summer of 190, more than a month had passed since Yuan Shao and Ye Chen turned their faces.

A lot has happened in the past month or so.

First of all, Dong Zhuo should have burned Luoyang two months ago and moved the capital to Chang'an, but because of Ye Chen's existence, Dong Zhuo's strength is much stronger than that of Shixing, so he still hasn't moved the capital to Chang'an.

Although Dong Zhuo has not moved the capital to Chang'an, the inertia of history is irreversible, and Dong Zhuo has ordered someone to build the Meiwu.

Then Ye Chen's fleet often cruised on the Yellow River, not only making Dong Zhuo's men and horses tired, Guo Jia also often ordered the fleet to attack with bows and arrows, attacking Dong Zhuo's army on the shore, and even drove directly to Mengjin, making Dong Zhuo think that he was going to cooperate with Wang Kuang to cross the river to attack, so frightened that he immediately sent a large army to support.

In the past month or so, the allies have been cultivating for more than half a month, and after recovering their morale, they stormed the Tiger Prison Pass again, but Yuan Shao and the others did not stay outside the Tiger Prison Pass, but returned to the sour date.

After the allies stormed the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo felt very difficult, and Ye Chen restrained a large number of his mobile forces, so that he could not draw more troops and horses to deal with the allies for a while.

"Li Ru, is there a way to get Ye Chen to stop harassing, if this continues, my soldiers and horses will be abolished." Dong Zhuo couldn't care about his anger at this time, Ye Chen's soldiers were in boats, and they were on horses, and the two soldiers and horses were running back and forth by the Yellow River, and Dong Zhuo's army could not bear it.

Li Ru felt bitter in his heart, he knew why Ye Chen did this, it was all because he designed Ye Chen.

"Taishi, if you want Ye Chen to stop harassing, I'm afraid you will have to pay a lot of price."

"No matter what the price, at least don't let him jump out and annoy me before moving the capital to Chang'an." Dong Zhuo waved his hand, ignored Li Ru, and let him figure out his own way.

Li Ru's face turned bitter after he came out, he provoked Ye Chen last time, but this time I am afraid that he will not be able to end it so easily.

When Li Ru was annoyed, some people were very annoyed.

In the Allied camp, in Yuan Shu's big tent.

"Waste, we haven't caught those thieves yet, this is the first time we've robbed our grain and grass." Recently, Nanyang's grain transport teams have been frequently plundered, and they have lost a lot of grain and grass.

After they arrived in Nanyang, they attacked everywhere, as long as they found the grain transportation team, whether it was a merchant family or the grain and grass raised by the allies, they all robbed it, and even burned it in a fire if they couldn't transport it.

Of course, the tiger's actions were to cooperate with Zhang Qing to disrupt their economy in Nanyang, and now the price of grain in Nanyang has tripled, and the cost of raising grain and grass here for the allies is very large.

"Lord, if I don't take someone to kill this gang of thieves, there are only more than 2,000 of these thieves, and they can succeed frequently because they are too cunning, as long as we have a large army, it should not be difficult to lure them out with food." Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling patted his chest and said, as if he didn't take the tiger head in his eyes, as long as his army arrived, it could be easily wiped out.

"Okay, I'll give you 10,000 troops, and you must exterminate this gang of thieves as soon as possible." The house was a mess, where could Yuan Shu sit.

In fact, Yuan Shu didn't have an in-depth understanding, today's Nanyang is no longer the Nanyang when he left, not only the price of food has risen, but the price of other materials has also increased, but Yuan Shu They only pay attention to food prices and ignore other aspects.

The only thing that does not rise in price may be salt, a large amount of salt appears out of thin air in the Nanyang market, and the price of salt is two percent lower than the usual salt, and the most important thing is that these salts are snow-white, unlike other salts that have a lot of impurities.

Of course, this salt was dumped by Ye Chen through other channels, and he could quickly occupy the salt market, but in fact, Ye Chen also paid a great price, and the price was that he wholesaled a large number of local snakes at a price of fifty percent of the market price.

The price is so cheap, there is a huge profit as soon as it changes hands, and many people participate, so the salt in the Nanyang area plummeted, and after the crash, many people began to rush to buy salt.

Originally, salt was monopolized by several local big families, but now they can't sell a pound of salt, and there are so many low-cost and high-quality salt on the market, who will buy their salt.

A large amount of salt is smashed in their hands and cannot be sold, these families are also under great pressure, and they are used to living a luxurious life, but now there is no salt input, which makes them very anxious.

Hurry to be in a hurry, but there is no way, who calls their family's salt inferior to others, even if they reduce the price, no one buys it, unless the price is lower than the price of salt in Liaodong, but then they will lose money.

Several big salt merchants were about to go bankrupt, they were big families, and Yuan Shu was also funded by these big families, which made Yuan Shu very uneasy on the front line.

The dumping of a large amount of salt also caused another consequence, that is, a large amount of money flowed into the hands of Liaodong, resulting in insufficient copper money in Nanyang, so that there were difficulties in market circulation, and indirectly caused a decrease in tax revenue, of course, this is a slow process, and it will not be exposed in a short time, even if it is exposed, the ancients did not have general economic knowledge, and did not understand why.

The rise in grain prices has also caused many people to go bankrupt and become homeless, and these people did not have much surplus grain at home, but now that the price of grain has tripled, they cannot afford to buy food, so they can only leave their homeland and become homeless.

After becoming a homeless person, Liaodong sent people to recruit homeless people from all over Nanyang and pack them away.

At this time, the princes had not yet realized the importance of the population, and no one paid attention to Ye Chen at all, so that Ye Chen could transport the waves of population back to Liaodong very smoothly.

It's not just Yuan Shu who is uncomfortable, Yuan Shao is also uncomfortable.

"When will the next batch of food arrive, and why is it so slow this time?" Yuan Shao asked anxiously in the camp.

"My lord, due to the continuous war, the grain has risen by fifty percent now, and it is not so fast to raise grain and grass." Yuan Shao's subordinates said with sad faces.

"What about other places, others can raise some grain and grass from other places, otherwise my hundreds of thousands of troops will fight on the front line." Yuan Shao never asked about these things before, but recently the grain has not arrived on time several times in a row, and some princes have already felt uneasy, if it continues, the people's hearts will definitely be scattered.

"My lord, it's the same in other places, Nanyang has tripled now because of its proximity to Luoyang."

"What? Twice, damn it, how can this be. Yuan Shao was also shocked when he heard it, he didn't expect the grain to rise so much.

"Immediately ask the Zhen family to help raise a batch and ship it quickly." Yuan Shao thought about it and felt that stabilizing people's hearts was the most important thing at this time, so he first raised a batch of food for emergency.
