Chapter 156: A Great Harvest

After Ye Chen and the others entered Runan City, they immediately sent people to start cleaning up the yellow scarves inside, but there were not many yellow scarves inside, and some people were still frightened.

It only took more than half an hour for Ye Chen and the others to control the situation, and the yellow scarves in the city were gathered to take care of them.

The city fell into their own hands, then the next thing is the harvest, Ye Chen estimated that Runan City should have gathered a lot of grain and grass collected by the Yellow Turbans, and he obtained this part of the grain and grass, the Yellow Turbans must have suffered huge losses, and they would also begin to pay attention to the defense of the rear, and they would not dare to send the army to the front line easily.

Ye Chen ordered the guard battalion to start collecting supplies in the city, while he, Guo Jia, and Guan Yu waited in the county guard's mansion.

"Young family master, found a large amount of grain."

The good news finally came, after all, Runan is a county, and the yellow turbans have collected a lot of grain and grass, which are hoarded here, and then transferred to the front line.

"How many?" Ye Chen estimated that there should not be a shortage of food, after all, there were hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans in general, although most of them were ordinary yellow scarves with low combat power, but they also had to consume a lot of food.

"According to preliminary statistics, there are more than 300,000 stone of grain."

300,000 stone of grain, it is indeed a lot, but it is not very amazing, the yellow turban scrapes the grain of a county, even if it collects millions of stone of grain, Ye Chen will not be surprised, but no matter how powerful the yellow turban is, it is impossible to scrape all the grain.

They have collected a lot of grain, to consume, and transported a lot to the front line, and now that the war has been going on for almost two months, it is not bad that there are still more than 300,000 stone of grain left here.

"Lord, what are you going to do with this food?" Guo Jia asked.

Ye Chen was indeed in trouble at this time, how much could he transport away? Only a small part can be transported, so this grain, destroyed? Ye Chen felt that it was a pity, now that it is the time for spring ploughing, this year will definitely be a large-scale harvest, the yellow turban is in trouble, who has a way to spring plough, then the whole world is about to face a large-scale shortage of grain.

At this time, if Ye Chen destroyed this batch of grain, then he would really be punished by heaven.

"I see that the yellow turban has received the news, and it will definitely take a few days to send people again, we have enough time to arrange, and my suggestion is to distribute this batch of grain to the people."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Guo Jia and Guan Yu nodded in agreement, they both knew the preciousness of food, and at the same time knew that this batch of grain could not be left for the Yellow Turban, if Ye Chen chose to destroy it, it would be nothing, it was understandable, now that this batch of grain was divided by Ye Chen, of course it was the best choice.

"Report, young master, we have found a large amount of silver treasure in the warehouse." At this time, another soldier came to report.

These guard battalions have all seen the world, and they have obtained a lot of money from the bandits and helped Ye Jiaqian Zhuang transport a lot of property, so the general situation will not move the guard battalion. Now the soldiers of the escort battalion came running and said that there was a lot of money and treasure, and it would naturally not be less.

Ye Chen immediately got up and took Guo Jia and Guan Yu to check.

The warehouse in Runan County was full of boxes of copper coins, and the whole warehouse was full. There are several warehouses in a row, in addition to a large number of copper coins and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, although gold and silver were not used as currency in this era, but they could be traded as valuables among the nobility, in fact, it is equivalent to a higher level of currency.

After Zhang Jiao's death, there is a mystery through the ages, that is, whether Zhang Jiao has a batch of treasures, now it seems that the yellow turbans swept the eight states of the world, and a large number of treasures were collected, they attacked the government, the warehouses were emptied, and many families were also attacked, and the wealth of a county is not only billions, but it is normal for the yellow turbans to collect hundreds of millions.

According to the things here, Zhang Jiao does have a lot of huge wealth, but later generations are only legends, and there is no news of this batch of treasures, and I don't know if it was confiscated by the officers and soldiers when the army was defeated, or where was it really buried by Zhang Jiao in advance.

But all this is not important to Ye Chen, the important thing is that Ye Chen accepted this batch of wealth.

After some statistics, this batch of wealth has reached more than one billion, such a big wealth, of course, Ye Chen's mouth is crooked with joy.

In other words, why is there such a huge wealth here, because the Yellow Turban has been controlled on the front line of Yingchuan, Runan, and Chen State, and has looted all the official mansions, as well as many families, because this is the rear and the county town, so the Yellow Turban concentrated the wealth here to facilitate management, but I didn't expect this to be cheaper Ye Chen.

Several counties, so many government offices, although the government does not have much money, but these officials are rich, and all of them are extremely rich, and most of these officials have been raided by the yellow scarves.

More than a billion wealth, this is a few big cars that can't be loaded, fortunately, Ye Chen has time, there are no large Yellow Turbans in the nearest few cities, if the Yellow Turban Army wants to attack Ye Chen, it will take several days to arrive, so Ye Chen is not in a hurry.

"Lord, I am very happy, what a lot of wealth, enough for the Ye family's strength to skyrocket again." Guo Jia said excitedly. He had just joined Ye Chen's camp not long ago, and of course he hoped that Ye Chen's strength would become stronger.

But Ye Chen was also bitter in his heart, he knew that the Ye family's territory was too small now, and he used too much money, although he was breaking even now, but if his strength was to skyrocket, he must have a windfall, this money was undoubtedly a windfall, but I am afraid that this money would not last long.

Because Ye Chen began to recruit a large number of homeless people again, and there were a lot of homeless people in the entire Youzhou, and these homeless people went to Liaodong, of course, the Ye family had to accept them all, and it would cost a lot of money to receive them, and the entire Youzhou homeless people, recruited together, it is estimated that tens of millions of dollars can be solved.

But the follow-up expenses are very huge, they have to feed them with food for a year, and this time it is not only the homeless people in Youzhou, because Ye Chen exaggerated many of his things for the sake of fame, and sent people to publicize them in various states, so there are also many homeless people in Jizhou and Qingzhou who flock to him.

There is also a larger and larger expenditure, that is, education, which was small before, Ye Chen didn't care, millions a year, but now the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more money is needed.

"Alas, Fengxiao, the Ye family's territory is too small now, and the cost required is too great, so this money is estimated to only be enough for about a year." Ye Chen said to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia thought about it, estimated it, and felt that it was also, after all, Ye Chen only had one county, and he had to raise troops, build ships, and recruit displaced people, but the pressure was huge.

"Lord, then this Yellow Turban Rebellion is an opportunity, if you can get a county land by merit, then you can solve these problems at that time, at least the output of a county land is enough to support an army of fifteen thousand."

"What Feng Xiao said is, so we must take advantage of this opportunity, as long as there is enough credit, and then coupled with careful operation, I don't think it will be difficult." Ye Chen said.

The next thing is to discuss how the money should be arranged, and it is definitely not possible to fight with it, so after discussion, it was decided to hide the money first, so where is it appropriate to hide?

Ye Chen planned to hide in Songshan, there was a big mountain range, it was very easy to find a place to hide in it, and it was relatively close to Luoyang, and it was convenient to transport the money back after the war, as long as he avoided the Yellow Turban team on the way back this time.

After the discussion, it was time to start the action, Ye Chen first transported all the grain in the warehouse and distributed it to the surrounding counties, and it took three days to distribute the grain.

After distributing the grain, Ye Chen got all his belongings into the car, and planned to return to the Yingchuan area, preparing to cooperate with Huangfu Song and them to attack the Yellow Turban under the city of Changshe.
