Chapter 249: 1.2 Million Stone of Grain? An extra 300,000 stone was prepared!

There is even an interesting thing happening here, Huang Xu had ridden a horse in the city before, and he accidentally offended the people of the Shi clan.

Those people originally wanted to go to him and find him unhappy.

As a result, after hearing about Huang Xu's identity, he had nothing to say.

According to Xi Yu's words, the buffs on Huang Xu's body are layer upon layer.

His father is Huang Zhong, who is also the nephew of Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and even Zhao Yun, and is Dian Wei's personal disciple.

is also Xi Yu's nephew in the next life.

Pull out any one of these people, and they can hang and beat the local scholars.

If they still provoke Huang Xu, it will be really not long-sighted.

So they had to knock out their teeth and swallow blood.

Let's be honest, don't say it's revenge.

As long as they dare to do something, it will be the end of raiding their homes and destroying their homes!

However, Pu Feng can provoke Huang Xu, after all, he is only eleven years old now, his identity is extraordinary, he is a pro-disciple of Xi Yu, and he is unique!

But this is also because Xi Yu has no heirs, if Xi Yu has a child, then his son is the real number one "gentleman" in this territory.

The kind that no one dares to mess with.

"Sima's family?"

Xi Yu's eyes were shining.

But Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang were depressed: "Actually, my lord, we really don't understand, why do you care so much about this Sima Yi?" ”

Xi Yu smiled, and his posture was light: "To be honest, if I had that ability, I would definitely wipe it out!" ”

Jia Xu frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking, "I don't understand much about this!" Although the Sima family is a wealthy family, it doesn't pose that kind of threat to us, right? ”

Xi Yu sighed: "After that, let's continue to watch." ”

It's winter again.

The two dockyards in Qingzhou and Xuzhou had already sent a lot of goods to Youzhou, and there was a commercial fleet of nearly forty ships, which were loaded with goods engraved with "play seals", such as various cloths and books.

The final destination of the merchant ships was Hushi in Youzhou, and when they returned, they would carry all kinds of spices, precious stones, and even blankets from the Western Regions.

But the most of them are gold and silver.

After everyone's statistics, this quarter's harvest has increased by as much as 30%.

Moreover, Xuzhou's "drama print" has officially entered the eyes of people all over the world! Let many people know that the existence of Qian Zhuang has also realized its benefits.

Life has also become more prosperous and prosperous.

Jizhou.

Winters here are snowy, and today it is snowing.

Cao Cao fell ill after returning from the barracks, and Xi Yu directly asked someone to send medicine, and Cao Cao really improved after taking it, and he could even start walking in the courtyard.

At this time, he was watching the fish next to the spring pool, and the pool here was not yet frozen, but Cao Cao seemed to be able to see the fish.

He also holds a tiger head long stick in his hand, which is of extraordinary texture, exquisite workmanship, and looks very aura, which is very consistent with Cao Cao's own temperament.

This tiger head stick is also carved with "play".

"It's really a wonderful idea for him to open a money bank, but now in this world, only Qingzhou and Xuzhou can do this, if Fengyi really concentrates on internal affairs, it can also make me feel at ease."

"I can't say it's safe."

There are two people behind Cao Cao, one is Xi Zhicai, and the other is Sima Yi.

Sima Yi basically lives here now, handling official business during the day, and teaching Cao Pi at night.

And Xi Zhicai and Xun You can now be regarded as celebrities beside Cao Cao, especially Xun You, who is the most famous.

The previous words were also said by him.

"Lord Xu is famous in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, opened the Academy of Sciences, and the various appliances developed by him have even been transmitted to Xuchang, and many official eunuchs have used their tools and even furniture!"

And they have the wonderful idea of "falling in the print", and even such as today's merchants, they are competing to pursue goods with the word "play"! ”

"The merchant team organized by the drama master is also like a gold-absorbing stone, quickly absorbing the wealth of the world!"

Cao Cao's expression was actually very complicated, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings.

But he also knows one thing, even in Xuchang today, there are many people who pursue goods produced in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

There are even many craftsmen who go to Xiapi Dairy Pig Xiaopei and other areas to seek experience.

"It can even be said that Qinzhou and Xuzhou not only sell a lot of goods, but even some strategies and even various books can be sold! And it's worth a lot of money! ”

Xi Zhicai's voice was a little heavy.

He felt that this matter was serious.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao's eyes were slightly embarrassed: "I don't know when, Xuzhou has become a rich land!" The Mi family was already a wealthy family at the beginning, so what are you going to do if you want so much money? ”

"Actually, I have a plan, but I can ......"

Xun You's eyes were slightly cold, and he spoke.

"Speak!"

Cao Cao almost didn't think about it, so he just let him speak.

Although Cao Cao has a deep affection for Xi Yu and doesn't want to embarrass him, he already has a bit of a tangle in his heart.

After all, the wealth in Xi Yu's hands already made him faintly feel threatened.

And Cao Cao hated this feeling.

And he also knows one thing, if he doesn't suppress the development of Xi Yu, it will be even more difficult in the future!

"We will go directly with all the food, and if this is the case, we can also carry out our original plan and march in two ways!"

"If there is enough grain and grass, we can not only go to Chang'an from Bingzhou, but also send troops to Youzhou, and Yuan Tan will definitely die!"

"And if we have enough food and grass, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will also reach a peak, and they will naturally be invincible and invincible!"

"It's a great opportunity." Cao Cao frowned slightly, his face was soothing, and when Xi Yu left, he also said that Qingzhou and Xuzhou would become his base camps.

The main task is to transport ordnance, food and grass, but there is no need to send troops.

"And it is also necessary to point out one thing, the development of commerce and industry, the opening of waterways, all of which are based on the condition that the people have sufficient stocks, and can even resist a certain degree of natural disasters, without capital, they will definitely not be able to open up trade routes!"

After Cao Cao pondered for a moment or two, he said meaningfully.

His words seemed to be said to Xun You and Xi Zhicai, but in fact they were also said to himself.

"Then we will directly ask him for 1.2 million stone of food! Before the end of the year, be sure to deliver to the Xuchang camp, and distribute the grain to the camps! ”

1,200,000 stones!

Not to mention Xun You, even Xi Zhicai was shocked.

"What are you doing in a daze?"

Cao Cao turned his head to look at the two of them, confident in his eyes, and finally set his eyes on Sima Yi: "Zhongda, what do you think?" ”

Sima Yi's expression was vaguely tinged with a hint of trepidation: "One million and two hundred thousand stones, to be honest, has reached the limit of a state and county!" If we really have to leave so much food, Qingzhou and Xuzhou may have a very difficult time! ”

"Huh!" Cao Cao just smiled: "You don't understand what Fengyi is capable of, if you don't suppress them a little, they don't understand their own position!" ”

"And although this number is huge, it can't shake the foundation of Fengyi!"

"If that's the case, it's really overthinking." Sima Yi just smiled bitterly, and pressed his body extremely low, showing extreme humility.

"Zhongda, you are Pi'er's teacher now, and you can't underestimate Fengyi! If you wait for me to seize Jingzhou and unify the Central Plains, you will also govern the world, and don't slack off. Cao Cao turned around and returned to the mansion, and the sense of oppression on his body was even stronger.

"Whoa."

The three of them turned around and bent down, saw Cao Cao away with great respect, and after a few words of greeting, they went back to deal with their own affairs.

……

Xiapi, Xi Yu is still discussing with Zhuge Liang how much grain and grass to hand over.

"Then we give 1.5 million stones, is it enough?"

Xi Yu asked tentatively.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Naturally, it is enough!" This amount of grain and grass is enough to feed 300,000 soldiers and horses, enough to feed until next year, and our new strategy can also store grain and grass safely, and we will not worry about the grain and grass being burned or snatched away! ”

"That's good."

Xi Yu nodded and said: "Then send 1.5 million stones directly, anyway, we can't finish eating, if there is another harvest, there will even be losses, and it will be a waste of horizontal and vertical." ”

It wasn't long before the voice of the herald came from the door.

It didn't take long for him to come in, and at the same time read out the order Cao Cao had just given.

"My lord, Duke Cao has decreed that 1.2 million stone of grain must be raised before the end of the year to supply soldiers and horses!"

Jia Xu was still muttering in his heart: "A Yizhou has not been dealt with yet, and it is so anxious to attack Youzhou and Merge State, isn't this ......?"

"One million and two hundred thousand stones?" Xi Yu's brows furrowed, what about the remaining 300,000 stones?

"The messenger made it very clear that one hundred and twenty thousand stone of grain must be handed over, and there is no room for negotiation."

Xi Yu and Zhuge Liang made eye contact, their eyes were very bitter: "That's no problem, the 300,000 stone grain can only be sent back first, what is this!" ”

It took Xi Yu about a month to send back all the 300,000 stone grain.

Even because of this incident, he did not participate in the grand event in Xuchang, but only held a very prosperous banquet in Xuzhou to enjoy with the people.

To be honest, it only takes less than twenty days to send all the grain and grass away, but Jia Xu stopped Yu out of caution, saying that he wanted to at least give the other side an illusion that it was very difficult to raise grain and grass on his side.

The official who transported the grain and grass was a young man named Xu Lang, who was born in the Shu class, but now their Xu family can be regarded as a new family with developed emotional intelligence, and he is also a Confucian student who came out of the Xiyu School.

When he sent the grain and grass over, he was even ridiculed by Xiahoudun's team.

"Oops, our rations are finally here!"

"We're in front, and there must be people who need to raise food and grass! Otherwise, how can we sacrifice our lives and forget to die! However, the drama is indeed the drama master, and the work is indeed proper. ”

Xiahou Lian led a team to greet him outside, unloaded the grain and grass, and didn't even let the people on Xu Lang's side drink saliva, but Xu Lang himself didn't feel anything, his posture was very respectful, and even showed a little sincerity.

"Who are you?"

"His name is Xu Lang, and he is the chief manager appointed by the drama master to oversee the affairs of grain and grass transportation!"

"Who do I say? It's just a merchant born in a common man! Don't leave yet, stay in Xuchang for a while," Xiahou Lian's tone was more domineering: "You need to wait for the camp to put the grain and grass into the warehouse, and confirm that there is so much before you can go!" ”

"But General, we still have something to do over there!"

Xu Lang looked puzzled.

He was even a little unhappy in his heart, if he really had to wait, when would he have to wait?

"You send some people back to deal with it first!"

Xiahou Lian's posture was calm, and Chen Caiwei said with a smile: "You talk to Xi Yu first, this is the process we must go, and I am helpless, after all, this is what the lord ordered!" ”

"If the rated number is not reached, our side is responsible!"

"You must not leave halfway, if there is a shortage of military rations at that time, then you have committed a felony and will lose your head!"

After the three words "head dropped" appeared, Xu Lang didn't dare to say more, so he had to nod, and he was also holding back the anger in his heart.

In order to transport grain and grass, they can be called wind and rain, and even have to face the wind and snow.

It is an extremely hard and exhausting thing in itself, and now that he has come here, not only has he not been treated well, but he even has to bear this kind of unreasonable words, Xu Lang is really annoyed in his heart.

"Let's go back first! Wait in the outer city, and when we have finished collecting the food, we will let you know and let you go back. ”

Xiahou Lian waved his hand casually and let Xu Lang leave, which was extremely arrogant.

Even some of the subordinate officials who came with Xu Lang looked confused.

They don't understand themselves, how can they not even get saliva when they are exhausted to transport food and grass for these people?

"General!"

Xu Lang frowned again and asked, "Then who will arrange the food, clothing, and resettlement places in Xuchang during these days?" ”

"What place to settle? Are you so poor? Get out! ”

Xiahou Lian even scolded directly.

Xu Lang really couldn't hold back, he didn't want to pay a dime, and he didn't even have a place to live.

But they can't get out, and if they break in, they will definitely be caught, or even killed outright.

And Xu Lang could feel that this situation was intentional by Xiahou Lian.

But fortunately, before coming here, Master Xi once looked for Xu Lang and told him some information.

Xu Lang actually has some relationship with the Mi family, but he hasn't seen Xi Yu in public!

Didn't even exchange a few words.

However, Xu Lang thought that it was his honor to invite him over.

At that time, Xu Lang didn't sleep all night before going to see Xi Yu.

The sentence that Xi Yu instructed also made him "haunted by dreams".

That's it, if you encounter something, don't be nervous, spend money to buy a house first, and then think about it in the long run.

It seems that the drama master has expected this matter for a long time!

After Xu Lang came out, he directly led people to Xuchang with scolding.

As he approached the door, he glared at the people behind him again, telling them to shut up.

"You don't have to worry, let's buy a residential yard first, and take care of them!"

Xu Lang even learned the tone of play.

"But the shopkeeper! If our business is not good this year, if we lose money, we will not be able to get dividends! ”

"That's right! Those people are simply hateful, our family provides so much food for free, and as a result, they have to be humiliated and questioned, who can stand this wretch? ”

"We can't bear it!"

Xu Lang sighed and said again: "You better say a few words, are you willing to bear with me?" Let's call this to endure humiliation! ”

"If you say more, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Even he directly put a cruel sentence: "And I have an important task to complete here, which was personally instructed by the drama master, you will give it to me one or two, take it easy!" ”

That's exactly what happened.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they didn't say anything more, and walked into Xuchang with a smile.

After entering Xuchang, they met a person who was young-looking.

In fact, this person is waiting here.

He is also the owner of a horse farm in Xuchang.

"Dare to ask you, but you are Mr. Xu Langxu?"

"Are you again?"

"My name is Yi Hao, and I've been waiting for a long time!"

Yi Hao?

Xu Lang's heart moved, and he pondered it again, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Wait a minute!

After repeating a few words, Xu Lang's heart moved.

Oh my god!

Isn't this one of the most famous chieftains of the Black and White Horse?

Xu Lang can be regarded as knowing this person's name.

No matter what he said, he had met with Xi Yu alone, so he also knew some of the situation on the black and white riding side.

For example, a unique number is used to determine the height of the black and white riding head.

Could it be that this is the legendary number one?

This is a real ruthless character!

Xu Lang even became very humble: "It turned out to be you!" ”

"Do you want to buy a place to live here?"

"Hmm!" Xu Lang's tone was slightly bitter: "When we came, no one helped us arrange a place to live, so we could only buy a house first, settle down first, and wait for the military rations over there to be counted before we could set foot on the road back to our hometown, but this year's business is estimated to be a bit troublesome!" ”

"Not really, we can actually cooperate with you here, and we happen to have a house here that is vacant, you can take a look or two if you need to."

"You can too! Trouble! ”

In fact, in Xuchang, the housing prices in the outer city are not too expensive.

Because, when the capital was first built, there were not too many people here.

If it weren't for Cao Cao, many people would have moved over, and the people would rather live in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which were more prosperous.

Therefore, many of the houses here are vacant.

However, the development and construction of Xuchang is not bad, after three years of construction, it can now be compared with Luoyang.

However, this also has the credit of Xiyu, and it cannot be said that it is just the hard work of the Cao family.

It didn't take long for them to find a vacant house.

After coming here, the soldiers who followed Xu Lang returned to the barracks.
