"Master is not free, so I discussed with Mr. Hua Tuo in the medical hall to allocate this winter, the winter disaster."

Zhuge Liang stood at the door of the main hall and said with an embarrassed face, "The eldest prince came at a bad time, you have also followed the prince for several years, don't you know his temperament, although it is almost sunset now, he will occasionally ...... Work hard once, stay up more vigil governance. ”

"If the eldest prince wants to inspect the people's situation in various places, I can accompany him."

Zhuge Liang gave up.

This made Cao Ang feel lost suddenly, is his brother too cautious, usually he will not take care of politics at night, and he will not even do anything related to internal affairs and military affairs, unless he wants to patrol the camp.

But today, when I came to see him, he went to watch the night, "It's a bit too much." ”

"Is it still a few months ago, when the generals asked for military funds? Got to my brother, right? ”

"What's the matter!?" Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, "I don't know what the eldest prince said, the prince is indeed still busy, the winter disaster has plagues all year round, making the people miserable, Jizhou itself has gone through war, and now the disaster is still there, we must not relax." ”

"Harvesting timber, planting and plowing the fields, patrolling the camp and exploring the land, when did the prince not personally lead the people to do it? This matter really can't be left either, and it's not easy for outsiders to enter the medical hall, it's a secret place, which is equivalent to military intelligence, and even I can't trespass. ”

"Tsk, then I'll not see you for the time being, I'm going to visit my sister."

Cao Ang put his hands behind his back, took a deep breath and endured it, forget it if he can't see it, at least it's okay to take a look at his sister, he will have to go home sooner or later.

"Of course, this is unstoppable."

Zhuge Liang smiled, at this moment Dian Wei followed him to wait here, Cao Ang entered the middle courtyard with a restless heart, after the guards reported, Cao Jie came out of the inner courtyard under the escort of dozens of guards, and met with Cao Ang.

"Brother!"

"Jie'er, how are you doing in Jizhou?"

"It's great, my husband treats me very well, and my sisters are also gentle and kind, and they get along very well."

"Brother is here this time, but he came to visit Jie'er?"

"Yes, my brother is afraid that you will suffer a loss in Jizhou alone, and I am relieved to see that you are still a lot fatter now."

"That's," Cao Jie's round face was full of joy, his small and delicate face was pitiful, and his bright eyes were proud, "My husband spoils me very much, and I'd rather starve myself than let Jie'er go hungry." ”

"Why, is Brother Berwen still hungry?"

Cao Ang asked with a smile, the county marquis of 6,000 households, if it is just about the harvest, there are few people in the world who are richer than him, not to mention that he has the entire Jizhou.

Jizhou's money is mobilized by him at any time, to put it mildly, even if Xu Zhen spends all the money and does not give it to the army or the people, he can live a fairy life.

"The money and property in the husband's family are used to confiscate, so that the people can eat enough, there is no private collection, the husband does not ask for money and bribes in his life, he is fair and honest, and the clan generals occupy the money and grain collected this autumn, so that Jie'er does not dare to agree, and it hurts people's hearts."

"Since my brother has come to see Jie'er, why don't you solve this matter and send food to the people for your husband, wouldn't it be better if you are prosperous in the future?"

"I ......"

The corners of Cao Ang's mouth twitched suddenly, didn't I give enough?

Are you his sister or my sister, my own sister?

Why is it that in his words, he is full of blame for me, and he is full of love and pity, and he is only thirteen years old, so it is not appropriate to bend his elbow like this, right?

"Really, towards my husband, I don't care about my brother at all, didn't I treat you well when you were a child?"

"The woman follows the husband, this is what the mother taught, eldest brother, you must have a way, why bother to be so stiff, the husband is self-reliant, and he will never open his mouth to Xu Du, but if he does not open his mouth in the future, Xu Du will not want to press her husband, although Jie'er has been with her husband for less than a month, she also understands that her husband's mind is secretly strong, and if it is necessary, he will never be bound by the so-called righteousness."

"Alright, alright!"

Cao Ang immediately raised his hand, turned around and asked the guards to bring gifts, a box of jewelry, a box of brocade silk, and a box of gold, all of which were Cao Ang's own money, and sent it to his sister for use, and he couldn't lose it in Jizhou Mansion.

"For me!?"

Cao Jie blinked, glanced at the three boxes, and was very happy, so he almost cheered to pull Cao Ang's hand, but it was a pity that it was a little girl's pie, and Mrs. Ding told her before she got married that she couldn't do it again.

The daughter of coiled hair must be dignified and skillful, so Cao Jie held back, but her face still couldn't help but smile.

She has liked beautiful cloth since she was a child, golden poems and treasures, and money, and she is not a gold worshipper...... I just like it in my bones.

But if you don't, you don't have to like it at all.

"It's all for you, my brother came to see you, and you definitely can't come empty-handed," Cao Ang said with a smile.

Cao Jie immediately bowed, and the etiquette was ready.

"That's great, it's better to be my own brother! I've been thinking about my little sister. ”

"That's nature."

Cao Ang's heart settled down a little, but he still had a childlike heart and liked gifts.

I knew that I was still my little sister, and with a little kindness, the previous friendship would naturally be remembered in my heart.

The little sister hasn't changed, after all, she's just a child.

"Brother, if you bother to exchange all these three boxes of gifts for food, how many stones are there?"

"About 10,000 yuan...... How? ”

"Send it to your husband, he is in dire need of food for storage," Cao Jie said with a smile.

Cao Ang: "......"

……

After a stick of incense, Cao Ang came out and asked the guards to go back to exchange for food, and 10,000 stones were transported to Qinghe, Jizhou.

The fastest should also be transported from Yecheng, first from Cao Ren's army, and the faster is directly in Yecheng, from Cao Ren's army to the Dian Wei camp.

But he was depressed, he didn't understand what medicine Xu Zhen gave his sister, and now he is only in his mind, and all the money and property given by his mother's family are scattered into food, and he bought 90,000 stones in Cao Chunjun before.

Together, there are 100,000 in total.

Moreover, after the beginning of trade for a few months, Jizhou's goods can be sold at a good price, and the grain saved by my brother is probably no less than 200,000 stones.

This is still after the opening of the warehouse to release grain, and the surplus grain of all the people was settled.

In the next year, the elder brother can save the gradual distribution, wait for the autumn to come, spring ploughing and autumn harvest, Jizhou is fertile for thousands of miles, the water quality is good, the soil is fertile, and the crops planted are of course not bad.

Five-baht money is circulated in Jizhou, has purchasing power, can be used to exchange, through the development of manpower to gradually distribute five-baht money circulation, so that in a few years can be without gold and silver.

It will be able to arouse the interest of the people, and follow closely behind, and the development of agriculture and commerce will quickly achieve prosperity.

This money is a total amount of circulation back and forth in the territory, the people use it to earn, earn it, and pay taxes during the period to make the counties of Jizhou usually wealthy.

In this way, more than two million people in Jizhou can be rich and do not have to worry about food and clothing.

In the coming year, there will continue to be displaced people, and the people will be encouraged to have children, and within 10 years, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, will be expanded.

"Eldest Prince, are we still waiting?"

The two of them were in the guest seats in the main hall, and after Xun You heard about these things, he probably understood that it was useless to see Xu Zhen.

"It's better to go back first, when I see the prince, I'm afraid that the prince won't know how to speak, and let the Jizhou armament share the whole army, which is a kind of persecution in itself, and the prime minister shouldn't want to force the prince now."

Cao Ang smiled bitterly: "I just want to have a point, and after recuperating next year, I will be ready to fight with the Yuan brothers at any time." ”

"We should also reserve some armaments and expand the army to ensure victory, Youzhou and Merge are still in the hands of the Yuan brothers."

"Below, there are some things that need to be told to the son, the discord between the Yuan brothers is a conclusive fact, Xu You and other generals have also said, Yuan Xi is not favored and Yuan Shang is favored, Yuan Shao was under the command of Wenwu, most of them supported Yuan Shang, and most of the soldiers and horses were also in his hands, and now Yuan Shang is hoarding in Bingzhou, and he should always want to look at Youzhou."

"In the next view, the two will definitely fight in a year or two, this is inevitable, Yuan Shanghui thinks that he is a very orthodox person, so he should guard the land of Youzhou, in order to make achievements and keep the family business."

"And Yuan Xi will not give up Youzhou easily, we still need to wait for the opportunity before we can move again."

"The prince naturally understands this, so he is also preparing for trade reserves and recruiting troops, but at the same time, he is also taking advantage of the fact that there will be no war in the past few years, and he will first grow Jizhou again, and Jizhou itself is the crown of Kyushu, which is easy to produce and transport grain."

"At this time, how do you speak?"

Xun You really wanted to say that this was Cao's suppression of Xu Zhen, and everyone in the world could see it clearly, and it was almost impossible to make Xu Zhen do nothing.

Don't ask for it, so as not to hurt the already strong and precious friendship.

Cao Ang fell silent after hearing this, and smiled indifferently: "It's really hard to wait, and it's boring to sit, but it's okay, I'll wait for my brother to come back." ”

In the evening, Xu Zhen came back in a hurry, there were still beads of sweat on his face, and he looked like he had just come back from the suburbs.

It shows that after he finalized the plan in the medical hall, he also went to the barracks or other places outside the city, and Zhuge Liang and Yang Xiu were attracted all the way, and they met Cao Ang in the side hall of the main courtyard.

"Brother."

Cao Ang bowed with a warm smile.

Xu Zhen nodded and sighed: "All kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, everything must be done by yourself, in addition to farming, we must prevent water conservancy and flooding, and do a good job of building river embankments in advance, and do not waste the public for personal reasons." ”

This sentence means that he will not give up his official duties for the arrival of Cao Ang, so he did not come back to see him until it was almost late at night.

"Therefore, if Ziwei has something to say, I will go back to the courtyard to continue to govern, discuss the military newspaper, and recruit troops and horses."

"Brother, I'm ......" Cao Ang twisted slightly, he was angry after waiting for a day, and he had already thought about what to say, but when he saw Xu Zhen himself, the words were a little difficult to speak.

After twisting for a moment, he spoke: "I want to buy armaments, I want an iron sword and a crossbow, and a Su iron battle armor." ”

"No problem,"

Xu Zhen nodded straightforwardly, "You provide materials, find enough iron, and we can contribute to cast 3,000 knives, 3,000 pairs of armor, and 100,000 iron arrows within three months, and raise 300,000 stone grain for me, plus 30,000 gold." ”

"What!?"

Cao Ang stood up in shock, "Brother, do you know how much you want?" I've never seen you say that before. ”

"If you don't open your mouth, you can't do it," Xu Zhen's face was serious, not the slightest joke, "I only have these armaments." ”

"Only my Tiangong Academy can build it, the Pu family followed me all the way, they won't betray me, and I can't turn my back on them, if this kind of skill is known in the world, they won't have anything to eat."

"300,000 stone grain, plus 30,000 gold, I can make armor and shields for the 90,000 Black Mountain Army, do you know what they use as shields now?"

"The bottom of the pot, rattan weaving."

Xu Zhen's words, "Otherwise, my 90,000 people who have been streamlined can only be dismissed as people, but they were thieves back then, thieves in Montenegro." ”

"Dismissed for the people, how to live with 160,000 yuan, I promised to be resettled when I was surrendered, so I can only cut my own flesh to feed, Ziyu won't understand."

The corners of Xu Zhen's mouth were lowered, and a sentence was put on the case, and his thoughts and emotions were also infected by Cao Ang, how could he not understand the difficulty of placement, if they didn't want it, Xu Zhen would spend another two years, and if he continued to streamline, he could get a strong elite.

There are at least 50,000, so many people, all of whom intend to make meritorious contributions, otherwise if they are willing to serve the people, they will not gather in the mountains and forests, and the troubled times are equivalent to changing a way of living, so that the strong people who have not been able to study at the bottom, even if they are reckless, have the possibility of making meritorious contributions.

"Brother wants to raise 300,000."

"I can give 30,000 gold, 300,000 stone military rations......"

"Give it to me before the end of the year."

Xu Zhen patted him on the shoulder, leaned closer and whispered, "I'm sorry, Ziyu." ”

"I originally planned to give it to you, the Sutie armament, and I planned to hand it over if I planned to place it, so that the whole army could be smelted and strengthened, and the world could be stabilized as soon as possible."

"It's a pity that my soldiers and horses can't eat enough, I can only earn money to feed them, and the rest of my Jizhou salary depends on you."

Smack.

Xu Zhen slapped Cao Ang on the shoulder twice, causing the fire in his heart to burn instantly, his face and neck were all red, and he felt that some words were blocked in his chest and he couldn't speak.

Jizhou is full of flowers and has too many people, Xu Zhen will definitely not be poor, but will definitely be rich and raised.

He won't be poor in war, they are all elite troops, why should he? It's your own ability.

Cao Ang's heart suddenly fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't worry, Ziyu will definitely not live up to my brother's expectations." ”

"Before the end of the year, I want to see 300,000 stone of grain."

Xu Zhen has Zhuge Liang calculating, so he knows how much grain is consumed every day, last year's war missed this year's spring ploughing, and the autumn harvest of the entire state is only a hundred thousand stone grain, and 300,000 are transported from the previous three counties, and they have to open warehouses to release grain to stabilize the people, so that they can live normally, it costs a lot of money every day.

If you hit the old mansion of the Shi clan, you can only have a place to live.

If you want to wait for next year's harvest, then you have to have grain to support next year's spring ploughing, if the spring ploughing is not effective, how can the autumn harvest be harvested?

The crops in the field and God can't fool you, if you fool it for a day or two, it will fool you this year.

That is, Xu Zhen has never been lazy these days, advancing and retreating with the people, and Zhang Yan wants to go elsewhere to rob to relieve Xu Zhen's sorrows.

In terms of the concept of bandits, I have never seen such a boss, his days are more tired than anyone else, but he is happy to do this every day, as if he is more active than others, and the people certainly have no reason to blame.

Sometimes I can't eat enough for a day or two, and no one says that Xu Zhen is not.

Yuan Shao hollowed out the entire Jizhou, and all he snatched back was money, and money could not be eaten.

Coincidentally, at the most difficult time, all the rewards and bereavements on Xu Du's side shone brightly, and the news came like snowflakes, and Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu reported that Xu Zhen did not say a word.

Just keep your head down.

Jizhou is such a mess, if you give Xu Zhen 200 intelligence, he will not be able to turn it into a million stone grain and 500,000 catties of meat.
