After hearing the news of the attack on the East China Sea, Tao Ying had no intention of checking household registration and other things, seeing that Tao Ying was silent for a long time, Chen Deng next to him hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, don't worry, Cao Bing won't be able to beat Peng Chengguo for a while!" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Tao Ying felt that history is history, and he would not change the wheel of history with his own covenant. Since this is the case, there was no rebellion in Yanzhou, but rebellion was a sure thing, so Tao Ying walked back to the main seat and began to think about how to use troops this time.

After thinking for a while, Tao Ying turned his head to Chen Deng and said, "Yuanlong, have you killed the family members of the wealthy merchant clan in Xiapi?" Chen Deng shook his head, and Tao Ying secretly applauded.

Fortunately, he decided to execute them after the execution platform was built, otherwise there would be no chance of reconciliation with the Northern faction this time. So Tao Ying said to Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, you go and send Mi Zhu and other servants of the rich merchants' families to Tan County, and then repair a letter with me, saying that I am willing to reconcile with Cao Hong and others, outsiders are coming, I want to lead the army to resist Cao Cao and protect Xuzhou!" ”

Chen Deng has been here for a long time, but Tao Ying comforted again: "Don't worry, we will definitely reconcile!" ”

Chen Deng said: "Lord, General Zang has led the generals who can fight well to Guangling, General Xu and General Zhao have not returned with our elite cavalry, and now the people of Pengcheng are just stable, the city is only half built, and the hearts of the people in Xiapi have not stabilized, and it is probably not ...... to send troops at this time."

After Chen Deng finished speaking, Tao Ying just replied: "My lips are cold and my teeth are cold, I have made up my mind, I will definitely be able to defeat Cao Thief this time, so that he will never dare to watch my Xuzhou in the future!" ”

Tao Ying was so firm, Chen Deng could only sigh and reluctantly persuade: "Lord, the grain and grass have been distributed to the refugees, and now there are nearly five million people in Pengchengguo, although many people have brought grain and grass, but when they entered the customs, they only left them rations for one year, and sent the excess grain and grass to the people as seeds. ”

Xiao Guan's Taishou was also busy persuading him: "Yes, my lord, Xiao Guan is relatively wealthy, and he could have provided military rations, but the lord has already requisitioned the grain and grass of the people of Xiao Guan to help the victims, and now the people can only eat one meal a day to satisfy their hunger, and I am afraid it will be ...... if they want to collect grain and grass again."

Everyone persuaded each other like this, but Tao Ying pointed to the direction of Xiapi and said: "Many counties in Xiapi have not been warn, and now the wheat is just ripe, I will take Pengcheng grain and grass to the north, and you will go to Xiapi to collect grain!" ”

After hearing this, Chen Deng said with a dark face: "Lord, the grain and grass of Xiapi Country are our food for next year. There are so many people in Pengcheng suddenly, if there is no harvest below, or if there is a disaster and chaos, so many mouths, just eat, our Pengcheng, Xiapi and Guangling will also be eaten down! ”

Seeing that he had been talking for a long time, he couldn't even solve the problem of grain and grass, although Tao Ying was very angry, but when he thought about it, what they said seemed to be reasonable, the people are big, and their own people can't save themselves, how can they save other people's people?

"Now that we have robbed the big clan of so much money, coupled with the money swept by Zhenrong, our Pengcheng is rich and rivals the country, why don't we go around to buy food?"

Tao Ying suddenly found that he had money, and he had money to buy food to survive the crisis, but Chen Deng shook his head again, now Huainan Yuan Shu is also using troops everywhere, and they don't have much food and grass. Therefore, they will definitely not sell it to themselves, and Yuzhou is friendly with Cao Cao, or they may be afraid of Cao Cao's power, they dare not sell their own grain and grass, and then Yanzhou, Yanzhou Cao Cao is at war with himself, how can they sell their own grain and grass?

And to go to the north, Tian Kai under Gongsun Zhan, who originally helped him fight in Qingzhou, is now busy fighting for Qingzhou with Yuan Tan, the eldest son of his old rival Yuan Shao. At a glance, it seems that there is a war all over the world! At this time, grain and grass are in the most scarce, who will be idle and have nothing to sell grain and grass?

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of the problem of grain and grass, Tao Ying suddenly said angrily: "The people of the late Han Dynasty are the most stupid, they only use feces for farming, and there is no chemical fertilizer, how can they yield thousands of catties per mu!" ”

When it comes to yielding thousands of catties per mu, Chen Deng next to him feels ridiculous, how can he produce so much grain? Isn't that whimsical? At that time, the land that could harvest 300 catties of wheat per acre was already a high yield!

Not to mention the end of the Han Dynasty, even Tao Ying was in his world, and the wheat yield was extremely low when he was a child. At that time, it was still an agricultural cooperative, and everyone threw all kinds of manure into the land, and the land was not fertile, and the wheat that produced was very small and deflated, and where could I receive as much wheat as I could.

But after scientific farming, fertilizer was used, and one ear of wheat produced more than three ears of wheat before!

It's just that this is the end of the Han Dynasty, and it's almost 2,000 years, who knows how to farm scientifically at that time? They don't know what the word science is!

"After this war, I will rest the army for three years, I will invent fertilizer and promote it, I will improve the land, I will also implement new official positions, implement the law, and when the time comes, I will let every child go to school, and culture will change fate!"

Thinking of this, if you want to realize your ambitions, you just need land, money, and talents, and if you have land and money, you will lack talents, and if you have money, will you still lack talents?

So the only thing left to do now is to defeat Cao Cao again and seek the peaceful development of Xuzhou!

So Tao Ying thought for a moment and then said to Chen Deng: "Yesterday, I received a letter from my second brother, they have defeated Zhenrong, seized the Guangling money looted by Zhengrong, loaded nearly ten cars, and are now being transported. It is estimated that we are not far from us at this moment, so you will send someone to meet us first, and store the money and property collected in Pengcheng in the newly built main hall of Pengcheng. Let the second brother and the third brother lead the cavalry to Pengcheng first! ”

Chen Dengnuo wanted to order the soldiers to do it, but Tao Ying pointed at him and said: "At this time, it is related to the rise of my Pengcheng, and the task is particularly important, so you can do it yourself!" ”

Chen Dengnuo sighed and asked who would manage Pengcheng's affairs, Tao Ying thought about it, how did he manage so many trivial things? So he asked Chen Deng to recommend candidates by himself, and Chen Deng hurriedly took the opportunity to start recommending talents.

The first talent recommended by Chen Deng was Yan Zhen, a native of Pengcheng, and Tao Ying sighed. Seeing that Tao Ying didn't care, Chen Deng hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, this person has great skills, and in the Pengcheng Rebellion, he fled to the south with his family. Later, I heard that Pengcheng was recovered, and I came back to serve my hometown! ”

Fleeing to the South? Tao Ying thought about it, is there such a person in history? He only paid attention to military generals, but he knew very little about the literati, and after thinking about it carefully, those who fled to the south were basically mixed up with Sun Quan. He only knew that the most powerful literati was called Zhang Zhao, because when Sun Ce died, he once said that he asked Zhang Zhao for internal affairs and Zhou Yu for foreign affairs.
