The master of Qin, who has been a human being in two lifetimes, really seems to be a person who can't be idle. Only Qin Xu himself knows how hard-won Lu Bu's today is.

Go to Chang'an, go to Hanoi, and pass through Yanzhou, until Lu Bujun successfully entered Qingzhou, although only one-ninth of the six counties and three places are around, whether it is Liu Bei, who has the support of Gongsun Zan behind him and has strong invisible capital; is still ambiguous with Yuan Shao, but Kong Rong, who has a high reputation among the scholars because of his identity, is not a good stubble to mess with; The other counties either had an ambiguous attitude and waited and watched, or were occupied by the Yellow Turban, but they could be regarded as standing firm and ending the fate of "wandering" around.

It is a pity that although Linzi is the seat of Qingzhou, it itself belongs to the hilly landform, there is not much arable land, coupled with the war, the people are displaced, and it is difficult to say that the 20,000 troops used to feed Lu Bu are out every year, let alone expand the armament war. What's more deadly is that because this was once the capital of Qi State, although the Jixia School Palace has been dilapidated, but because it was once the place where Confucian sages such as Mencius and Xunzi gave lectures, it was once a hundred and fifty years of glory, and was once regarded as a holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world. This is why although Linzi is dilapidated, it is still prosperous. But now this holy place is occupied by a martial artist who was born from the grassroots and is despised by the family, this feeling is like a delicate and cowardly eldest lady, being held in the arms of a stupid and rough man, and the visual impact is quite strong.

Now Linzi is dilapidated, and all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, hindering Lu Bu's strong force and the strong combat effectiveness of the armies under his command, the yellow turban does not dare to brush the tiger's whiskers; Regardless of whether the scholar clan under the rule of Lu Bujun wants to or not, out of the idea of protecting the family, they can only temporarily attach themselves to Lu Bu, but there is no need to think about it at all, as long as Qingzhou assesses, it is estimated that these people are the first to stumble Lu Bu.

Just like now, Qingzhou's grain is beyond its means, and the Linzi officialdom is sighing one by one because of the food problem, as if the sky is about to fall. I couldn't think of a way to do it, and I was talking about poetry all day long, speaking through the increasing number of displaced people in Linzi City, and there was a look of watching Lu Bu's good show in and out of his words. These people didn't dare to directly find Lu Bu to behave, so they could only pretend to be stupid in front of Zang Hong, stirring up Zang Hong and Lu Bu to be unpeaceful all day long, and Lu Bu even took out military rations again and again to help the displaced people.

It's not the way to go! Qin Xu, as the main bookkeeper of the march, knew Lu Bujun's family background. There are still a lot of gold, silver, coins, pearls, jade treasures and other items obtained by Lu Bujun from Meiwu, which are about 200,000 gold, but the grain is only about 100,000 stone left. Due to the deliberate blockade of the surrounding forces, it is difficult for Lu Bu to buy food even if he is rich, and even if he buys it, he can't transport it, not to mention Qin Xu's plan to hoard grain and grass for the upcoming drought, if he can't find a way to completely solve this problem, it is unknown whether he can support it until the arrival of natural disasters.

Lu Bu belongs to the battlefield, and he only thinks about how to recover other counties in Qingzhou, and these "trivial matters" related to the people's livelihood are simply pressed on Sima Zang Hong of Qingzhou, but Zang Hong is a political expert, and he has the ability to clean up the government and protect the territory and the people, but he does not have the ability to conjure up a lot of food out of nothing, so that the word grain and grass has almost become a taboo for Lao Zang during this time.

There are more and more displaced people in the city, which makes Qin Xu also feel the danger. Thanks to the nine-year compulsory education, Master Qin clearly knows a truth, those who win the hearts of the people win the world!

Due to his congenital weakness, Lü Bujun could hardly rely on the family families that occupied the mainstream in the late Han Dynasty; The only thing that can be relied on is the will of the people within the power. And the people's heart seems to be quite ethereal, but it really affects the rise and fall of a force, although now Lu Bujun occupies Linzi and has no offense with the people, which makes the lower class people have a good impression of Lu Bujun, but these can only be regarded as prerequisites, and cannot solve the fundamental problem. The most important thing right now is to feed these people.

Qin Xu originally wanted to suggest that Lu Bu use the wealth in his hand to buy or temporarily borrow grain from the big clans in the city to tide over the difficulties, but before Qin Xu could bring it up, he got the news that Zang Hong had failed to collect grain from these big clans who already had children as officials in Linzi, and none of the families that could survive the war were not monkey spirits. After these settled in Linzi, the owners of the families who were in luxury cars and beautiful maids on weekdays, and the heads of the families in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, after getting the news, they all cried for a while, the reason was nothing more than the war in Qingzhou, and the small city of Linzi was looted by the yellow scarves several times, and it was also difficult to have overnight food, etc., because these talents in the family supported the operation of government affairs at the bottom of Qingzhou, which was not easy to use, which made Zang Hong angry and helpless. This road is not working. There was no way, Qin Xu could only find another way.

Just when Qin Xu was also anxious about the food problem, a news sent back by Zang Ba, who was secretly sent out by Qin Xu, made Qin Xu seem to think of a solution to the problem at once.

Zang Ba envied the life of the ranger when he was young, and became friends with Taishan Sun Guan Yin Li and others, until the Taishan thieves were lured out by Cheng Yu's strategy, and after Sun Guan Yin Li voted for Lu Bu, as Qin Xu expected, the remnants of the Taishan thieves who stayed in the old nest were indeed surrounded and suppressed by Shanyang Ling Lu Qian. Lu Qian's size is also the number one person in Cao Jun, a Confucian general who can be both civil and military, how can more than a thousand Taishan thieves be Lu Qian's opponents, Wu Dun, who was left by Sun Guan Yin Li to watch the house, is a rough guy, and he was beaten by Cao Jun in a few days and lost the cottage.

Fortunately, the thieves of Mount Tai crisscrossed the mountains, and he had many years of experience in confronting the government, so that Wu Dun took the risk to escape. After learning the news that Zang Ba and Yin Li Sun Guan were in Linzi after several tosses, he led the remnants of less than dozens of people to sneak into Jinan through Xuzhou, and went to Linzi incognito.

"You said you once wanted to go to Xuzhou Mu Taoqian? Have you ever had a relationship with the people of Xuzhou before? After Qin Xu talked with Wu Dun, he inadvertently got a piece of news.

"This ...... Master Qin, Brother Wu didn't know that we had already joined the lord's command, otherwise, ......" Zang Ba hadn't spoken yet, but Sun Guan Yin Li mistakenly thought that Qin Xu had misunderstood Wu Dun, and hurriedly explained.

"The two brothers don't need to say much, and listen to Master Qin's book!" Zang Ba saw what Qin Xu meant, and he was not blaming Wu Dun, so he hurriedly stopped Sun Guan and Yin Li's words, and signaled to continue listening to Qin Xu's words.

"Lao Zang is right! I just want to know about Xuzhou! I don't know who you want to vote for? Qin Xu nodded with a smile and said. Tao Qian is a character, when he was young, he was also a hero who could be named by the big man, and the Taishan thief would not be able to enter his eyes at all, let alone make friends.

"Let Master Qin smile, you also know that what we did before was a business without capital." Sun Guan glanced at Qin Xu with some embarrassment, and saw that Qin Xu was not unfamiliar because of the backgrounds of several people, so he cautiously continued: "Mount Tai spans three states, and it has always been a necessary place for trade. Over time, I have had some contacts with some big businesses in the three states. In order to avoid the loss of property, they have always been very polite to us, and they have filial piety to buy a peace; To tell the truth, they all have strong financial resources, and we are just eating together, and I am also afraid of their strong families, and slowly they have contacts, and whether they really have friends or not, but they can be regarded as having some friendship. ”

"Yes, Master Qin, before I knew that the three brothers were taken in by General Lu, I was also thinking about whether I could find a place to support myself and slowly find the news of my brother." Wu Dun continued: "A few days ago, when my cottage was broken by the Cao army, it happened that a steward of the Mi family in Xuzhou sent this year's filial piety, and I didn't want to be unlucky to catch up. Although we are thieves, but we have always attached importance to faith, so we desperately rescued him, and when we parted, he also tried his best to persuade us to go to Xuzhou with him, and made a promise to give my brothers a future, saying that he is a distant relative of the head of the family, and the most unfortunate thing is that we can at least eat in the Mi family. ”

"The head of the Mi family? But Mi Zhu, who is known as a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou? After listening to Wu Dun and Sun Guan's words, Qin Xu asked.

"Exactly!" Yin Li nodded and said, "This head of the family is only a young man, but he is a character. The huge Mi family is very prosperous, and he is very humble and polite, and he does not have the slightest contempt for us. ”

After listening to the words of the three of them to show their loyalty, Qin Xu couldn't tell the truth, and encouraged the three of them to order Zang Ba to send someone to settle Wu Dun, and then fell into deep thought.

Mi Zhu, Mi family, isn't this the wealthy businessman who laid the foundation for Liu Bei's rise in the future? In history, Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, if it were not for the support of the Mi family, not only provided a huge amount of financial assistance, but also married his sister to Liu Bei, and more importantly, Mi Zhu, who was the eldest brother, was quite righteous, and also attached 30,000 well-trained family members as a dowry to Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei, who had only less than 2,000 soldiers and was only a plain order, suddenly jumped among the princes of the late Han Dynasty.

Since the three brothers around Zang Ba can talk to the Mi family, and the Mi family is a well-known wealthy businessman, can they cooperate with the Mi family, at least buy some food to tide over the difficulties? And there is another advantage to choosing Xuzhou, that is, Tao Qian is old, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous, although Tao Qian has Danyang elite soldiers as a sharp blade, the ambition of the past is no longer there, although Lu Bu occupies Qingzhou and threatens the safety of Xuzhou, although he is a little unhappy, but more fearful, even if he knows about it, it is estimated that he does not dare to interfere too much and make a statement.

Originally, Qin Xu wanted to report this matter to Lu Bu, but the word Xuzhou was like a spell, which made Qin Xu temporarily extinguish the idea of telling Lu Bu.

At first, this matter is still unwritten, but it is just an idea. Not to mention whether the Mi family can agree to sell grain to Lu Bu. Only Picheng is nearly 800 miles away from Linzi, and it takes three or four days to come and go fast horses, and there is an ambiguous Jinan country in the middle, and a large number of grain and grass transportation lines are very unsafe. Moreover, Qin Xu was really afraid in his heart that the inertia of history would make Lu Bu interested in Xuzhou before the chaos in Qingzhou was settled. Qin Xu knew deeply that with Lu Bu's temper, this kind of thing was not impossible to do. Therefore, it is not too late to inquire first and then tell Lu Bu after making a conclusion.

With his mind set up, in order to prevent Lu Bu from seizing the handle and taking the opportunity to get angry and train people, Qin Xu thought about it a few times, and secretly told Lu Lingqi about it, thinking that this eldest lady would definitely be like when she was in Huaicheng before, and she would follow if she wanted to die or live; Unexpectedly, after listening to Qin Xu's words, Lu Lingqi agreed to keep it secret for Qin Xu with a smile on her face, which made Qin Xu touch her nose and sigh The girl's thoughts, don't guess, you can't guess if you guess.
