But fortunately, with Yang Ling assisting Cao Cao, under the implementation of a series of new policies, Cao Wei is now abundant, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

The price of grain has also dropped from tens of thousands of dollars a bucket to less than 100 dollars a bucket.

According to Yang Ling's conjecture, Yizhou is far away from the war in the Central Plains and is relatively stable.

No matter how high the price of grain is, it will only cost four or five hundred yuan a bucket at most.

And the price he set for Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, and Biqiu Jian was about 400 yuan.

But what Deng Ai didn't expect was that the price of grain in Yizhou had soared to 1,000 yuan!

Seeing that Deng Ai and the others did not speak, Qian Zhou frowned slightly, and patiently explained,

"This price is not low, you must know that we also need to go up and down......"

He said it from the bottom of his heart.

As early as the time when Liu Zhang and Liu Bei started the war, prices in Yizhou had already begun to rise.

Liu Bei's conquest of Hanzhong failed, and after returning to Chengdu, prices were already high.

The purpose of buying grain and grass is also for emergencies, not to sell.

"That...... Since you've said so, it's not impossible! ”

Jiang Wei suppressed the snickering joy in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent,

"But we have a request, we have to pay with a full amount of five baht."

"That's easy to say!"

Although it was a little strange, Qian Zhou still happily agreed.

After some deliberations, the two parties finally reached a deal.

In addition to the agreed grain, Jiang Wei and others also provided cloth and salt at a price lower than that of Yizhou.

Qian Zhou was overjoyed and agreed to come down together.

After agreeing on the time and place of the transaction, the two parties dispersed.

A few days later, at the same location, Deng Ai and the three brought cartloads of grain.

And Qian Zhou's side, also according to the agreement, brought enough five baht money.

Looking at the full amount of food, Qian Zhou couldn't help but smile.

And Deng Ai and the three of them were also extremely happy after receiving the five baht money!

Just when the two sides were satisfied and ready to leave, Qian Zhou suddenly stopped them,

"Wait!"

As soon as he said this, the subordinates brought by each side immediately began to rattle, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Isn't there something wrong?"

Jiang Wei asked in a deep voice, his hand already pressing on the Qingyu Sword on his waist.

Because Zhao Yun was already old, and he liked Jiang Wei a lot, he transferred the Qingyu Sword that Yang Ling gave him to Jiang Wei.

"Put all your weapons away!"

Qian Zhou scolded his subordinates, and then smiled,

"Don't be nervous, Zhang Wuji, I have a few words I want to talk to you about."

Hearing him say this, Deng Ai and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency has something to say!"

"Dare to ask the three sons...... Where did it come from? ”

Qian Zhou is not a fool.

Now that Cao Wei is at war with Shu Han, food, as a strategic material, must definitely be strictly controlled!

Jiang Wei and the three of them are already extraordinary, and they can get so much food, they are definitely not ordinary people.

Three-character names like Zhang Wuji and Wei Xiaobao, you know that they are their pseudonyms as soon as you hear them!

When Jiang Wei and Biqiu Jian heard this, they subconsciously looked at Deng Ai.

Although Deng Ai usually doesn't speak much, he is actually the one who takes the lead among the three.

As soon as Deng Ellio groaned, he said generously,

"Real...... Tell the truth, in the next ...... It is the student of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Deng Ai is also! ”

"These two are...... Under the sworn brothers...... Brother Jiang Wei, Biqiu Jian! ”

Hearing the real names of the three of them, Qian Zhou's face changed dramatically in an instant!

The names of Deng Ai and Jiang Wei are like thunder!

When Cao Wei destroyed Jiangdong, they sneaked into the rear of Jiangdong alone and persuaded the Shanyue people to raise troops with their incorruptible tongues.

Jiangdong can be taken, and they can be said to have contributed a lot!

Not to mention the battle of Hanzhong some time ago, it was the two of them who followed Yang Ling together, and the Meridian Valley made a surprise attack for thousands of miles, and easily won Hanzhong!

But the most important thing is that they are Yang Ling's top disciples!

Although Qian Zhou has never heard of the name of Biqiu Jian, he can worship Deng Ai Jiangwei, and he is not an idle person!

"I didn't expect it to be three sons, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Chen Zhou's face was solemn and he saluted the three respectfully.

Seeing that he was not vigilant and frightened after knowing the identities of several people, Jiang Wei seemed to have sensed something, and said with a smile,

"Gongzi Yunnan is polite, you are known to be talented, and you are also admired by us."

Qian Zhou was stunned for a moment, and said a little flattered,

"Have you heard my story?"

"No, Childe's face is full of stories!"

When he was looking confused, still thinking about what Jiang Wei meant in his words, Jiang Wei hurriedly diverted the topic and took the initiative to ask,

"Since the prince of Yunnan is a scholar clan in Shudi, he must know the situation in Shu well, I don't know what the current situation in Shu is?"

"Hey...... It's hard to put into words! ”

Qian Zhou's complexion was complicated.

Deng Ai's heart moved, and he pretended to be puzzled.

"Liu Xuande is generous...... Loving the people like a son, since he settled in Shudi, Yizhou ...... Since it is thriving, Yunnan Gongzi...... What do you mean by that...... Why? ”

Although Deng Ai and Jiang Wei were suspected of spying on the situation in Yizhou, Qian Zhou didn't seem to hide it from them.

He sighed and said with a wry smile,

"A few sons don't know ......"

Qian Zhou beckoned Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, and Biqiu Jian, sat down on the bluestone on the side, and explained the internal situation in Yizhou as it was.

Although Liu Zhang was cowardly and suspicious, and his talent was average, before Liu Bei entered Yizhou, he could still balance the disputes between the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou native faction.

Therefore, Shudi was managed by Liu Zhang, which was not bad.

But when Liu Bei defeated Liu Zhang and took Yizhou, the situation was completely different!

In addition to the original Dongzhou faction and Yizhou faction, there are more veteran factions and Jingzhou factions under Liu Bei.

In order to commend the veteran faction and the Jingzhou faction for their contributions when they took Shudi, Liu Bei was bound to be rewarded.

But you must know that when Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he was poor and white, where did he get the money?

There is only one solution, and that is to move the interests of the state faction.

For this reason, Liu Bei rewarded the veteran faction and the Jingzhou faction, and at the same time co-opted the Dongzhou faction to share the interests of the Yizhou faction.

In this way, a local scholar like Qian Zhou naturally complained about Liu Bei!

It's just that the power of Shu is occupied by Liu Bei, and they can only suppress their anger.

But when Liu Bei lost the battle of Hanzhong and returned to Chengdu to claim the emperor, the Yizhou locals could no longer bear the anger in their hearts!

You must know that in order to attack Hanzhong, Liu Bei mobilized a large number of troops, people, grain and grass.

Not to mention that the people of Yizhou suffered greatly from the war, the interests of the local scholars were also greatly damaged!

What annoyed them the most was that Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor and promoted officials on a large scale, but he was extremely stingy with the Yizhou Paishi clan!
