The first batch of grain sent by the Shangdang Chen family arrived in Lishi smoothly, and was all allocated by Lu Bu to the Xihe Taishou Mansion, and Zhang Fan was responsible for distributing it to the homeless people who were looking forward to the food. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The autumn grain harvested by the Tiance Army in the first military camp has been put into storage, and the total amount is quite abundant, but it will not be easily taken out and distributed to the homeless people. These grains were obtained by tens of thousands of soldiers who had worked hard for months and exchanged them with their sweat, and they belonged to military food, and only the Tiance Army had the right to enjoy them. Other armies all collected grain in the garrison, but the Tiance army farmed its own fields, which has greatly reduced the burden on the people.

Lu Bu has repeatedly mentioned in public the phrase "those who don't work can't eat", if the displaced people want to eat food, they must exchange sweat and labor, and Lu Bu will not distribute the food in vain. The 3,000 stone of grain allocated to Zhang Fan was to appease the people, and then the government had to set rules with these displaced people, so that the displaced people could obtain the food they needed for survival through work-for-relief.

The good seeds and farm tools sent by Zhang Yang made Lu Bu a little surprised, this big brother is really kind, he has only been in Taiyuan for a few months, and he wants to help his brother pull back all kinds of benefits. Although the supplies sent were not very large, they represented a rare attitude.

Lu Bu transferred all the materials sent by Zhang Yang to Hu Wubiao and Chang Lin, the two new county commanders who were not having a good time in Yuanyin and Yuanyang, and urgently needed the strong support of the Tiance Mansion.

Guo Huai and Hao Zhao came to Lishi together, and Lu Bu was very happy after meeting. Although the two little guys are still young, they have distinct personalities and have their own characteristics, which is worthy of Lu Bu's efforts to cultivate.

In order to show his attention, Lu Bu specially invited Cai Yong and Lu Zhi as witnesses, held a grand apprenticeship ceremony for the two children, and then took Guo Huai and Hao Zhao into his door.

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong both recruited protégés at the beginning, and they were famous teachers, if it weren't for Lu Bu's face, it would not be so easy for others to invite these two to attend.

Guo Huai and Hao Zhao bowed and bowed to Lu Bu in turn, and Lu Bu helped them up with his own hands, and then gave Guo Huai a sword and a yellow-brown war horse and a foal. The two of them liked the meeting gift given by the master very much, and their hearts were full of respect and gratitude for Lu Bu.

After apprenticeship, Guo Huai and Hao Zhao lived in the Tiance Mansion, and in the future, as long as Lu Bu was not outside to lead the army, he would find time to personally guide them to practice martial arts and learn calligraphy.

Lu Wen was very interested in the two boys who suddenly appeared in the house, although she was only one year older than Guo Huai and two years older than Hao Zhao, but she had the majesty of the eldest sister's head, and she couldn't help but classify the two into her followers.

Lu Wen saw all kinds of unconvincing in the eyes of the two guys, in order to subdue Guo Huai and Hao Zhao, Lu Wen proposed a one-on-two fighting plan, and the two boys were a little embarrassed at first, thinking that it was impossible to win like this. However, after they really started fighting, they realized that they were just wrong, and when Lu Wen's fist hit them, it was really distressing!

Guo Huai and Hao Zhao didn't know that Lu Wen was on the way from Jiuyuan to Yuanyin, but they cleaned up all the boys under the age of twelve in the team. After the two were abused by Lu Wen once, they completely subdued, followed behind Lu Wen, and became the second general of the left and right.

Perhaps, Guo Huai and Hao Zhao may not have the opportunity to defeat Lu Wen in force in their lives.

When they learn martial arts from Lu Bu, Lu Wen's training will only be more systematic and rigorous, although men will be physically stronger than ordinary women when they become adults, but is Lu Bu's daughter an ordinary person?

Chen Shi sent an urgent report from the Hyun family, asking the Tiance Mansion to send manpower to Shangdang to receive food. Chen Shi said that the number this time is relatively huge, and preliminary statistics show that there are at least 200,000 stone of grain to be transported, so it is necessary to send a team of at least 5,000 people to come. In addition, Chen Shi also bluntly mentioned that he could not come empty-handed, because even if he bought grain at a low price, he would need to pay a sum of money to each family for the purchase of grain.

Lu Bu was overjoyed and immediately convened all his subordinates to discuss the matter.

Jia Kui, who is usually in charge of keeping records of the entry and exit of the government treasury, reported to everyone the amount of gold, copper coins, green salt, leather, pig iron and other bulk materials remaining in the treasury.

If converted according to the market price, these materials in the treasury are enough to buy millions of stone of grain, but the account is not calculated in this way.

First of all, the gold stored in the treasury is the most important hard currency, because of its small size, heavy weight, and easy to carry, so it is mainly used as a person sent abroad to carry out secret missions with funds, and it is natural that it cannot be easily used for large transactions such as the purchase of grain.

Secondly, although the value of materials such as leather and pig iron is relatively high, they belong to the military materials under key control, and it is too late for Tiance Mansion to open its doors to buy them, so how can they be traded.

In the end, all that could be used for trading was some copper coins and green salt.

Copper coins need to be used to stabilize the market price of Xihe, green salt is a daily necessity for the army and the people, and even war horses have to consume some green salt from time to time. Therefore, it is not possible to empty all the copper coins and green salt in the treasury.

200,000 stone grain is not a small amount, enough to support the Tiance Army to go out and fight a large-scale battle. If you want to get the 200,000 stone of grain back from Shangdang, you have to exchange equivalent materials.

The Tiance Army is not a bandit, and it can neither fight white, nor can it be tricky, so it has to think of other ways.

Qin Yi, the counselor in charge of the livestock management in the mansion, suddenly spoke, and he suggested to Lu Bu: "General Qiqi, my subordinates thought that they could use some horses and Hu Nu to exchange with those landlords and rich people in the Shang Party. ”

"Counselor Qin, you must also know the importance of horses to the Tiance Army, why did you make such a suggestion?" Lu Bu asked Qin Yi with some puzzlement.

Qin Yi carefully explained: "The subordinates are responsible for managing all the livestock in the prefecture, and horses are the main ones, so they have always been concerned about the price of horses in the Bingzhou, Jizhou and Sili areas. Now there is a serious shortage of horses in Jizhou, and Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, strictly prohibits the state from selling horses to Jizhou, so the price of horses in Jizhou is more than twice as high as that of Jizhou. In the past few months, the Tiance army has repeatedly won great victories against the Hu people, and the number of horses seized from the battlefield has exceeded 10,000, and the subordinates have subdivided these horses, among which there are 5,000 that can be organized into military horses, and 2,000 can be used as pack horses, and the remaining 3,000 or so are a little reluctant to serve as army horses, and it is a pity to be a pack horse, and it is better to sell them to the Shangdang at a suitable price, so that those landlords and wealthy families have a certain profit, and they will be more willing to sell grain to the Tiance army at a low price in the future. ”

Lu Bu understood what Qin Yi meant, he wanted to eliminate the redundant inferior war horses in the mansion through trading.

Because Shangdang and Jizhou are only separated by a mountain, and there are several roads leading directly to Jizhou in the middle, as long as the Shangdang landlords and wealthy people who got horses are not elm heads, they will naturally find a way to transport the horses to Jizhou and sell them at a high price. Although the profit is not particularly huge, it is enough to compensate for the loss of selling grain at a low price.
