The systematic ban on troops disrupted Yang Rui's plan to defeat Cao, and it was also impossible to target Yuan Shao in the north, so Yang Rui simply stopped in Xuzhou for a while to deal with unfinished business.

However, the system announcement mentioned in the disaster is indeed more serious, before Yongzhou Chang'an City Liu Xiexiao Emperor personally inquired about the disaster relief, it can be said that except for Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou and other very few states and counties The situation is better, and the situation of other states and counties is not optimistic.

This is reflected in the changes in the price of food in the game.

At the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, it was also a year of great famine, and the price of grain at that time generally reached 20 to 40 copper coins per unit, and the highest price was only 50 or 60 copper coins per unit.

At present, however, the price of grain often hovers above 70 or 80 copper coins per unit, and more than 100 copper coins are commonplace, and even in some remote areas, the price of grain sometimes appears above 200 copper coins, which is several times higher than during the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Measured only in terms of monetary gains, the sharp rise in grain prices is a good thing for Yang Rui; at present, due to the implementation of the tuntian system and the resource exchange system in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, grain production has already been very abundant, and a large amount of grain is used for export except for part of the reserves.

According to the statistics made by Wei Xiu'er at the end of the year, when she was idle and resumed her resource trade, in just the second half of the fourth year of Chuping (193), Yang Rui's income from the sale of grain in Qingzhou and Yanzhou reached more than 2 million gold coins, and an average of more than 300,000 gold coins were recorded every month, which was not lower than the monetary reward Yang Rui received in the Xuzhou dispute.

And the reason for this situation. On the one hand, it is caused by natural disasters. In the late Han Dynasty, drought and locust plagues never stopped. Coupled with the fact that the princes attacked each other, the living conditions of the NPC civilians were even worse than during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

It can really be said that the Quartet is in turmoil, the people are not living, and there are even many areas where the population is sparse, and in this case, it is indeed necessary to recuperate, but the systematic ban on soldiers still makes Yang Rui unhappy for a while.

However, thinking that there are still prestige tasks to be done at hand, there are still terracotta army copies to be brushed, and there are historical generals/historical celebrities provided by Dragon Soul to be subdued, Yang Rui is no longer too entangled in the historical facts that are difficult to change at the moment.

In fact, what Yang Rui was entangled with was not necessarily to eliminate the threat of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes. It's about changing the plot route set by the system, and if you think about it carefully, the result of the Xuzhou dispute is already a change.

In the historical facts and romances, Xuzhou should be temporarily occupied by Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and Liu Bei's governance office is still in Pengcheng, the current form has actually changed, not only Lu Bu failed to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, Liu Bei's situation is also quite different.

The most important thing is that Yuan Shu stepped into the Xuzhou region, and Yang Rui himself also captured a large area of land from Xuzhou, even if the territory controlled by Yang Rui at this time was not the largest among the princes. It's almost countable, and the degree of solidity should be difficult to compare with other forces.

Therefore, although the threat of Cao Cao's forces was not eliminated as expected. However, Yang Rui's advantage over Cao Cao has undoubtedly expanded a lot, as long as this advantage is maintained, why worry about not being able to gain a foothold in the game?

After figuring this out, Yang Rui no longer dwelled on the issue of the system banning soldiers, but devoted himself to dealing with the matters within the area of the newly acquired Xuzhou land.

At this time, the shortage of manpower in Yang Rui's hands was once again clearly reflected, Yang Rui's new 5 counties and 35 counties in Xuzhou needed to appoint relevant personnel for management, and Yang Rui obviously couldn't get so many talents for a while.

The county magistrates, county lieutenants, and county magistrates can also be held by the previous manpower at the county level, as long as they are willing to obey Yang Rui's orders and cooperate with the implementation of various policies.

However, heavyweight positions like the Taishou of Langxie County and the Taishou of Donghai County naturally need to be filled by appropriate people, and almost all the places have been won by Yang Rui, so the position of Taishou is led by Yang Rui.

For a while, the position of the Taishou of the two counties could only be vacant, and the general Huang Zhong and his daughter Huang Wudie commanded 200,000 troops to temporarily guard Langxi County.

For this reason, Yang Rui also prepared to seek a position specifically for Huang Wudie, but he was considered by Guo Jia and others to be out of line with the system, and in the end he was not able to achieve it.

Guo Jia even secretly told Yang Rui that even if he sought a position in the army for Huang Wudie, it would be very difficult to be his daughter, and the best way was to accept Huang Wudie as his wife, and it would be enough to lead troops to fight at that time!

Yang Rui never expected it, and after hearing Guo Jia's words, he was speechless for a while.

At the same time, Yang Rui ordered Zhao Yun, the general of the Yi army, and Dian Wei, the general of Wuwei, to command 200,000 troops to jointly defend Donghai County.

Yang Rui, Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao's wives temporarily stayed in Siwu County, and cooperated with the Ganning Navy to temporarily manage several county towns in Pengcheng County, Xiapi County, and Guangling County.

At this time, Dragon Soul and other large organization player groups also provided Yang Rui with candidates for some official positions such as Xiapi County Order, County Lieutenant, and County Cheng, and the position of County Commander turned out to be the Flame Flying Snow who had been in charge of negotiating with Yang Rui before!

This woman's identity doesn't seem to be simple! Regarding this point, Yang Rui had actually been aware of it before.

When Yang Rui and Dragon Soul and other large player organizations negotiated territory transactions before, Flame Flying Snow was able to make his own decisions to a large extent, including the two conditions proposed by Yang Rui in the end, which were passed on to the retroactive Dragon Soul and others after the approval of the woman.

This also shows the identity of Flame Flying Snow.

Regardless of the identity of the other party, Yang Rui did not hesitate too much, and directly expressed the Flame Flying Snow as the county commander of Xiapi County, and the other positions were all listed one by one according to the list provided by the major player organizations such as Dragon Soul, and it was decided.

Since Yang Rui handed over Xiapi City to players such as Traceback *Dragon Soul, he was not prepared to meddle in anything in the city, although Xiapi City was also under the jurisdiction of Yang Rui.

Moreover, large player organizations such as Dragon Soul have already handed over the Terracotta Warriors Quest Scroll to Yang Rui, and at the same time provided the list and details of the first historical celebrity/historical general, Yang Rui is also making plans, preparing to go to try to subdue the person as soon as possible, and brush the Terracotta Warriors copy in the next time.

"Brother Lieyang, I'm really sorry to bother you again now......"

Yang Rui was not ready to entangle with the Dragon Soul and other player organizations, but the other party took the initiative to find him again, and the person who came was Lieyang Feixue, the new Xiapi County Commander. (To be continued.) )
