After reading like this for a few days, Yuan Xi enjoyed himself, but Lu Fang, Gao Mian, Lu Da and the other three were not easily tossed, but the three of them got rid of the identity of the subordinate because they followed the second son, and their lives were very rushed, and they didn't feel tired at all.

Zhen Ji watched Yuan Xi run out early every morning, ran around Yuan's mansion twice, came back sweaty, and then got together with three subordinates to study Zhuangzi, and then slept late at night. It made her look at her husband's back every night.

The sky gradually cooled down, and the inside and outside of Yuan's mansion began to get busy, all kinds of characters came and went frequently, and they were about to break through the threshold. Several of his staff strategists also rotated in a row, and they couldn't stop at all.

The appointment of Yuan Xi finally came down, in charge of the grain and grass in Jizhou, similar to the official position of the Taicang Order of the imperial court, but it was only responsible for the military rations during the war, which was called the "Sisu Order", and there was a separate official office, built next to the granary, just a small pavilion in the open air, and only a few small officials obeyed orders. Zhang He commanded 3,000 men to guard the transportation of military rations to the front line, and they were stationed outside Yecheng.

According to the plan developed by Yuan Shao's strategists, they first had to transport the grain and grass to a place called Gauntloo near the boundary bridge, and the troops gathered in various places would go north to converge after receiving the rations, and fight to the death with Gongsun Zhan. If the war dragged on, he would have to work with Zhang He's troops to transport grain and grass to the front.

"Cherry? The place name is easy to remember. ”

Yuan Xi thought about it and threw it to the back of his head. He looked at the cloth in his hand, which was full of Yuan Shao's troops, led by the first camp, indicating the generals and food officers who led the team, as well as the overall number. He is responsible for the overall deployment.

How could this stump him?

The two lifeless little officials were naturally unreliable, but fortunately he brought Lu Fang, Lu Da and the other three.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Simple math is a must.

It took him two days to forcibly indoctrinate the three of them with Arabic numerals and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and let them calculate the amount of grain and grass they had allocated and fill it in a framework he had prescribed.

After doing this, he threw down a sentence: "The mansion cooked mutton today, and after everyone finishes it, the three of you will go back to the mansion together, as long as one person can't finish it, they will all wait here." ”

Hearing this, the three of them hurriedly got busy, while Yuan Xi patrolled around the granary.

The granaries here are made of large brick and stone houses, and the wooden roofs above are also coated with fireproof oil, which is very thoughtful. At that time, Yuan Shaobing took Yecheng without blood, and he suddenly got the grain stored here, which was enough for the people of Yecheng to eat for three years. Coupled with the vertical and horizontal marriage, the big grain households in Hebei were tied to his chariot, and Yuan Shao did not worry about food. You must know that at this time, Yuan Shu in Huainan couldn't even eat enough for the soldiers, and the common people had to go to the river to catch fish to eat. And Cao Cao in Yanzhou also relied on Tuntian to supply military rations. Therefore, with Yuan Shao's family background, he is really the most powerful of the princes.

As soon as he walked to the big granary park, an order came from there, asking Yuan Xi to quickly go to Yuan Shao to discuss matters.

In the past few days, Yuan Xi has finally seen Yuan Shao's style, and every time he rushes to urge, after the past, the scene is chaotic again, and sometimes he can't remember the tasks he has assigned. The strategists quarreled again, and the order was changed. It can be said that the thinking is unclear and the organization is not clear. If it were replaced by the senior management team of a Fortune 500 company in the future, it would take half a day to sort out these things.

Entering the conference hall, Yuan Shao hurriedly asked, "Let me ask you, is anyone looking for you to buy food?" ”

Yuan Xi chuckled in his heart. In the past few days, he has seen the world, what the Cui family, the Fan family, the Tang family, and the Li family have all come to the door one by one, giving gifts and giving friends. Everyone held him high, and this posture alone was very similar to the central leadership in the previous life. And the focus of attention is on the matter of food.

Yuan Shao didn't wait for him to answer, so he said: "I usually buy and sell grain in private, and I just turn a blind eye, but if I sell it to Gongsun Zhan, it will be unforgivable!" ”

Yuan Xi secretly looked at Yuan Shang and saw that he was standing aside with a serious face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, but in fact, this guy didn't know how many times he had been an intermediary.

Tian Feng was also present and said to Yuan Xi: "Second son, according to reliable information, we found that Gongsun Zhan's side is sending a businessman from Le Hedang to buy grain in Jizhou, and they have already had private contacts with many families. Youzhou's poor harvest this year is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us......"

Yuan Shao interrupted him and said, "If there are still people who don't distinguish between the important and important at this juncture, don't blame me for being unkind." Xianyi, the Zhen family, you also have to say hello, after all, it is the in-laws, don't be stiff in the end. ”

Yuan Xi said quietly: "Yes." ”

He walked out of the chamber and touched the sweat from his forehead. To be honest, although he did not express his position on this matter, every time Yuan Shang brought someone over, he neither agreed nor said no. But he knew that this was how the people below did. In fact, they have already opened up the whole link and gave themselves gifts, just a nominal notice. If you really cut off the financial means of these people, God knows how they will react. Yuan Shao wants to curb this behavior through his in-law relationship with the Zhen family, but he is actually a little naïve. Even if it is the Zhen family, there is no one person who has the final say, as long as these people have interests, just like a bee smelling the fragrance of flowers, they will not give up. And don't look at Yuan Shao's tough attitude, if these families commit crimes collectively, he really can't beat them with a stick. If it continues, the whole Hebei will be turned upside down.

Yuan Shang followed in small steps from behind, pulled his sleeve, and said, "Mr. Cui still wanted to meet the second brother last time." ”

Yuan Xi was taken aback and said, "You also heard what your father said just now, and you dare to commit a crime against the wind?" ”

Yuan Shang smiled: "This kind of thing can't be forbidden. Besides, we didn't sell the grain directly to Gongsun Zhan. ”

Yuan Xi said: "If these military rations flow out, the food supply in the market will inevitably be wider, and Gongsun Zhan will be able to purchase a large amount of grain at a low price without effort." Now the whole world knows that Hebei has a lot of grain. Every time Gongsun Chan raises a stone of grain, we have to pay an extra soldier's life, which is equivalent to slaughtering our own soldiers with our own food. What is wrong with these soldiers? ”

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard him say so much, and only after a while did he say, "Where can it be so exaggerated?" Let's release food to the Cui family, and they are just selling it to the people to help improve people's livelihood. As for Gongsun Zhan, even if we don't sell it, there will always be big families with surplus grain at home, and they can buy it. ”

Yuan Xi sighed and said, "Hebei has a bumper harvest, where the people are short of grain, if they want to sell it, they will naturally sell it outside." And, you don't know when I do? I've seen it all in the past few days, bags of new grain have been shipped out, and all that is left is old grain! Many of them are still more than a year old and have become moldy! I have my own opinion on this matter, you let the surnamed Cui go first. ”

Yuan Shang said: "Second brother, don't do anything with them, it's not good for you." Even if his father himself was just talking casually, he didn't dare to offend the public. Let's talk about the Cui family, like our Yuan family, they have been officials in Luoyang for generations. Our Yuan family is four generations and three dukes, but people have been Jiuqing since the time of Gaozu, and there are fiefdoms in the family, not only are they deeply rooted in Boling, they are intertwined, and even the emperor's nurse has made friends, and we can't afford to mess with them at all. ”

"Got it." Yuan Xi snorted and shook off his hand.

"Second brother, think twice."

Yuan Xi looked at him anxiously, but he was really thinking about himself, and he couldn't understand the relationship between the two brothers.

When I returned to my room, it was pitch black. Zhen Ji had just untied her hair, and Ren Xiu's hair was scattered, and she was immediately hugged by Yuan Xi from behind. Her body trembled, and she said softly: "The husband hasn't finished reading Zhuangzi mile yet......"

Yuan Xi said: "Zhuangzi? Oh......" He didn't think about it at first, but then he was aroused by the idea, so he leaned forward and said in her ear: "According to the progress, I have finished reading forty percent, should you also take out the down payment?" This is called progress paying. ”

Zhen Jihua's face was pale, but the key points on her body fell into his hands, and her body was already sore. She let out a low cry, and was skillfully embraced by his hands, and her whole body rose into the air and landed on his knees. At this time, she snuggled into his arms, and her nose was full of chaotic breath.

"Ever since you came here, no one has anyone to talk to, would you like to hear my old story? It's really uncomfortable to hold in your chest......"

Zhen Ji opened her eyes, and was slightly disappointed in her accident, and said, "Husband, please speak, and the concubine listens." ”

Yuan Xi raised his head and said leisurely: "Things have to start after I graduated from college......
