Entering the fourth year of Chuping (194), a new year begins. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the New Year, Liu Xuan invited Tian Feng, Guo Jia and Jia Xu to the study to discuss matters.

The host and guest are seated.

Liu Xuan's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Regarding the arrangement of grain cultivation this year, I have some immature ideas. This year's cultivation, I am not going to promote it in Qingzhou, only in the territory of Huang County. ”

"There are three reasons for this."

"First, accumulate more grain seeds in preparation for large-scale cultivation in the coming year."

"Second, let the princes of all walks of life know the news."

"Third, when the harvest is at the end of this year, I want to invite all the princes to Huangxian to discuss the sale of grain seeds."

Liu Xuan looked at a few people and asked, "What do you think of my thoughts?" ”

Tian Feng said: "If you can eat alone, it is the best." ”

Liu Xuan shook his head and explained, "It is almost impossible to control the outflow of seeds. For example, seeds of corn, winter melon and pumpkin are easy to carry on the body. If it is promoted on a large scale, even if we set up checkpoints, it will still spread. My consideration was to press for another year, and when I had accumulated enough seeds and experience, I would make a fortune on it. ”

After a pause, Liu Xuan continued: "Instead of letting the princes from all walks of life secretly carry the seeds, it is better for us to take the initiative to make profits. ”

Jia Xu nodded, with an expression of approval, and said: "Taking the initiative to sell to other princes, the first is good for the people of the world, and the second is good for yourself." If you can prevent it for a while, you can't prevent it for a lifetime, I agree with His Highness's approach. ”

Guo Jia continued: "I agree with Jia Junshi's analysis, but I think Jinyiwei can be appropriately relaxed. In other words, the spies who revealed the news to the princes of all walks of life were revealed by Jinyiwei, so that the princes of all walks of life knew the specific news of the grain. However, at the checkpoints around Huang County, it must be strictly guarded, and no one must be allowed to transport grain seeds to leave. In this year, high vigilance is necessary. As long as the seeds are not shipped out on a large scale, then by the end of the year, His Highness will have the capital to negotiate. ”

Liu Xuan said: "I agree with Feng Xiao's analysis. ”

Tian Feng said: "Since Your Highness has decided, let's do it." ”

The general direction is determined, and the next step is to refine the arrangement. After several days of discussion, Liu Xuan, Tian Feng, Jia Xu and others finally decided on a plan and then began to implement it.

The plan was implemented, and the relaxed Huang County suddenly changed its atmosphere.

The Sifang City Gate of Huang County is the first strict checkpoint, the checkpoint on the border of Huang County is the second checkpoint, the checkpoint on the border of Donglai County is the third line of defense, and finally the fortress checkpoint of Qingzhou.

The soldiers stationed at each checkpoint were ordered to thoroughly inspect the supplies transported by the merchants. Of course, the time of strict inspection is limited to the season of grain harvest, and the rest of the time the search is not strict.

Over the past year, the spies of the princes from all walks of life have reported, and the princes from all walks of life have known about the situation in Qingzhou.

At the end of the fourth year of Chuping, Liu Xuan once again had a bumper harvest.

The grain collected by Huang County has already filled the granary.

All the grain was put into storage, and Liu Xuan arranged for Jia Xu to dispatch Jinyiwei to Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo and others to convey the news, and invited everyone to come to Huang County to discuss the issue of new grain seeds.

For the newly produced potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other foods, the princes of all walks of life are greedy.

However, Liu Xuan strictly guarded against it.

Even though they used many channels, they still couldn't bring it out in the end. Even if some are brought out, they are only a very small number of seeds, on the one hand, they don't know how to plant, and on the other hand, it is difficult to promote them on a large scale.

Liu Xuan released the news, and everyone was ready to move.

……

Yanzhou, Dongjun!

State Pastoral Office.

Cao Cao invited Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You and others to discuss the matter.

The crowd took their seats.

Cao Cao looked at the people under his command, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This official has just received a message from Liu Xuan's people, and Liu Xuan has asked this official to go to Huang County to discuss the issue of grain seeds. What do you think? ”

Xi Zhicai said: "I agree with the lord going. ”

"First, the lord and Liu Xuan have formed an alliance, the lord is Liu Xuan's ally, and he has no intention of harming the lord."

"Second, there is not only one lord who will go to Huangxian, there will be other princes."

"Third, the lord needs the grain seeds under Liu Xuan's command. We haven't really seen the yield of sweet potatoes, corn and other grains, but the news is that we have to get seeds. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Humble advice, the lord has to go even if he takes risks." ”

Xun Yu said: "According to the information sent back, Liu Xuan not only invited the lord, but also invited Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu and other princes from all walks of life in the world. In front of countless princes, it was impossible for Liu Xuan to risk the world's condemnation. ”

Xun Yu Zhengse said: "If you don't participate, you will miss the opportunity, so you can only go." ”

Cao Cao saw that the people around him agreed and reached a unified opinion, so Cao Cao no longer hesitated and ordered: "Everyone agrees, the official will go in person." ”

Xi Zhicai said: "When the lord goes to Huang County, be sure to bring Dian Wei." ”

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "This time going to Huang County will inevitably involve negotiations. Wen Ruo stayed in Dongjun to preside over the overall situation and handle the government affairs of Dongjun. Zhicai, Gongda, and Dian Wei accompanied the troops. ”

"Yes!"

Xun Yu, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai replied with their fists.

……

Jizhou, Yecheng.

After Yuan Shao got the news sent by Liu Xuan, his expression was cold and his eyes were murderous.

Liu Xuan defeated Liu Bei, surrendered Tian Feng, and quietly took all of Tian Feng's family members away. For Yuan Shao, this is a great shame and an irresolvable hatred.

If it weren't for Gongsun Zan occupying Youzhou, Yuan Shao would have attacked Liu Xuan immediately.

However, the grain grown in Qingzhou, even Yuan Shao was a little red-eyed, and he was even more curious. So after Yuan Shao got the news, he didn't know what decision to make for a while.

Yuan Shao invited his advisers to discuss the matter.

Yuan Shao said straight to the point: "Liu Xuan sent someone to deliver a message, asking this official to go to Huangxian County, Qingzhou to discuss the matter of grain seeds. What do you think about this? ”

Feng Ji didn't even think about it, so he directly stopped him: "The lord can't go." ”

Yuan Shao asked, "Why?" ”

Feng Ji said: "First, the lord and Liu Xuan have a grudge, the two sides have deep grievances, and after the lord goes, it is difficult to guarantee safety; Second, Jizhou is located between Youzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, bordering the three places, and if the lord has any errands, Jizhou will fall into crisis. ”

Yuan Shao nodded, also with a look of approval.

After thinking about it carefully, Xu You suggested: "Feng Ji's analysis has some truth, and the lord is not suitable to go in person. But when it comes to food seeds, one cannot fail to participate. At the suggestion below, the lord sent an envoy to the city. ”

After listening to this, Yuan Shao agreed with Xu You's suggestion.

That's a good offer.

Yuan Shao asked, "Ziyuan." Who do you think is the best fit? ”

Xu You's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "I think it is the most suitable for me to be depressed." On the one hand, he has outstanding teaching ability, is able to speak well, and is suitable for negotiation. On the other hand, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng are good friends, and he can learn about the news through Tian Feng. ”

Yuan Shao looked at Fu Zhu and asked, "What does Mr. Fu think?" ”

Frustrated, he said: "I am willing to go!" ”

"Good!"

Yuan Shao flicked his sleeves and said: "This official authorizes you, during your time in Huang County, you are fully responsible, and you don't have to report to this official when you encounter something." The official only has one requirement, and he can't fall into the prestige of Jizhou. ”

"Obedience!"

Frustrated, there was a look of anticipation on his face.

The world says that Qingzhou's grain is a godsend, and he also wants to see what is going on.
