Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

"But just relying on the land of Chenliu County, where does it get so much money and food?" Dong Zhao said to himself in a daze.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly thought of Lu Yan's establishment of the chamber of commerce, "Could it be... no way..." He couldn't believe it, but hoped that it was true.

At the same time, another messenger broke in,

"My lord! A letter from Yingchuan prefect General Cao Ren!"

"Zixiao?" Cao Cao was a little puzzled when he heard Cao Ren's letter, "Could it be that something important happened in Yingchuan?"

Thinking of this, Boss Cao couldn't calm down, "Submit it!"

After receiving the letter from the messenger, Cao Cao almost threw the letter out when he opened it and saw the content of the letter for the first time...

Seeing Boss Cao's flustered appearance, Cheng Yu hurriedly asked, "My lord?! Is something important happening?"

Cao Cao managed to stabilize his mind. After hearing Cheng Yu's words, he took a deep breath and said:

"Zixiao sent a letter saying that Chenliu County has so much grain that the granary can no longer hold it, and now he wants to transfer some of it to Yingchuan County.

But the problem is that Zilian has filled up the granaries in Yingchuan County...so Zixiao asked me if there is any room for grain in Juancheng..."

"..."

"Did I not wake up?"

"The granary... the granary... can't be piled up?"

"It's just maddening!"

After Cao Cao finished reading the letter, he handed it to the impatient Xun Yu, and said, "Do you still remember what I told you about Lu Yan's formation of the chamber of commerce?"

Xun Yu nodded and said back: "I remember. Yu also teased Chang Sheng at the time, 'not doing business properly'."

"That's right... Lu Changsheng who is not doing his job properly..." Thinking of this, Cao Cao inadvertently smiled, and said, "These grains are all bought by the Chamber of Commerce from all over the world!"

"But where did he get so much money to buy food?" Someone asked aloud.

Asked about it...

Boss Cao couldn't help showing a heartbroken expression, and replied, "Where did you get the money? Isn't it all earned by the chamber of commerce!"

"Wow!" Everyone shouted!

"What kind of business do you want to make money?"

"My lord, the taxes in Chenliu County are not high! Where did he get the money from?"

"Did they do something unseemly..."

Faced with all kinds of doubts, Cao Cao's heartbroken expression became clearer, "At the beginning, I exempted Chenliu County from taxes for five years except for grain...The business tax of the Chamber of Commerce was not included in the tax..."

"???"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu couldn't help but slapped himself on the forehead, and said, "Master, you have fallen into Lu Yan's scheme!"

Chapter 6 An accident, the arrival of an angel

Shock!Chenliu County and Yingchuan County did such a heartless thing!

People are starving and dying, and people are eating each other, but you are bursting with food?

Is there still justice, is there still law! ! !

The eyes of the world are once again focused on the land of the Central Plains, strictly speaking, above Yanzhou.

Some masters have estimated that at the end of the Han Dynasty, 1 poor families ate about one hundred shi of grain a day.

Calculated by one hundred stones, it is about 36500 stones a year.

Yanzhou now has a population of almost 300 million, mainly because it has experienced many wars before, resulting in a considerable drop in population.

Calculated on the basis of 300 million civilians, more than 1000 million shi of grain was consumed that year.

However, with a few hundred sets of glass products and spices, Lu Yan got enough food for 200 million people in Yanzhou for a year!

This is a good explanation for the members of the chamber of commerce, what is profiteering!What is a million profits!

They worked so hard to purchase grain, not only benefited themselves, but also saw the bright future of the United Chamber of Commerce.

With spices, with glass...money?Just the easiest thing in this world to get.

Not surprisingly, when Yanzhou announced the acceptance of refugees, the refugees who had waited for a long time flocked into all parts of Yanzhou.

Among them, Chenliu County and Yingchuan County had the largest influx of refugees.

The reason why many of the refugees came to these two counties was mainly because the reputation of Chen Liu and Yingchuan had already spread all over the country when they bought grain.

Everyone knows that these two places are desperately buying food, and a disaster happened at this time, so of course we have to go to a place with a lot of food!

......

"Prefect, there are too many refugees!

We have built all the toilets in every household now, and there is really nothing left to build. "

Yiji's face was covered with sweat, and his body was drenched as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Mao Jie and Ren Jun turned into meat buns and never returned, and were left in Juancheng by boss Cao with various excuses.

Yi Ji and Han Hao had no choice but to rush the ducks to the shelves, and abruptly took over the previous affairs of Mao Jie and others.

"Pain and happiness..." This is the most intuitive feeling of Yiji and Han Hao...Although they are already busy like dogs, their talents have also been fully utilized, and they really feel extremely fulfilled in their hearts ah!

"The latrines are all finished..." Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a little headache when he heard Yi Ji's report, "The houses have been repaired... the roads have been repaired... all the canals and dams have been reinforced... what else? Can something be repaired?"

After thinking about it, Chenliu County really has nothing extra to do.

Lu Yan remembered the road he had taken to support Juancheng before, so he said: "Since there is nothing to repair in Chenliu County, let's expand the official roads to Juancheng and Dongjun!"

"Pa-ta...Pa-ta..." Yiji staggered back two steps, and said with a mournful face, "Prefect! That's real gold and silver, a lot of money!!!"

"But we are not short of money?!"

"But I'm about to be defeated by you... It's all over!"

"Uh..." It really is a waste of money!Lu Yan smiled awkwardly, and said, "Then send some glass products to the chamber of commerce, and use some money first."

Even Yiji doesn't know how glass products are produced, he only knows that a set of that thing is worth almost ten thousand gold!

"What else?" Yi Ji looked at Lu Yan in a daze, and thought, "Can such precious things be produced in large quantities?"

Seemingly seeing Yiji's thoughts, Lu Yan said again: "There are only the last thirteen sets, so save yourself some trouble..."

When Yiji heard that there were only the last thirteen sets, he didn't know whether he was glad or sad. He cupped his hands and replied, "Oh...my subordinate, try to save as much as possible..."

"Go..." Lu Yan waved his hand, and Yiji left with interest.

Although the influx of refugees has brought huge challenges to Yanzhou, once it passes this level, it will be of great value.

The influx of refugees is about the same as the previous estimate.

A total of one hundred thousand refugees entered the counties and states of Yanzhou in just two or three months.

However, there are quite a few refugees who closed their eyes forever on the way to Yanzhou.

......

There are thousands of miles of red land, and the land is full of starvation... Only Yanzhou survived the disaster and generously took in the victims.

Even Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was moved by Yanzhou's righteous deeds. He even persuaded Li Jue to promote Cao Cao's Yanzhou governor to Yanzhou Mu.

In the state governor's mansion, Cao Cao was discussing political affairs with everyone. Suddenly, someone came to report in a hurry outside the door.

"My lord, an angel has arrived!"

"Huh?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others suspiciously, and then said in a deep voice, "Bring him in!"

In a short time, a middle-aged man with a yellow and thin face, ragged clothes, and a light walk was led into the meeting hall by the messenger.

When Cao Cao saw the person's clothes and the things in his sleeves, he immediately knew that this was a real "angel"!

Immediately got up, Cao Cao led all the civil and military men and bowed in salute, "The angel is coming from afar, Cao Cao welcomes you from afar, please make amends!"

"Cao Inspector... No, I should call you Caozhou Mu... Your Majesty is grateful for Zhouzhou Mu's taking in the victims, especially... special..." Before he could finish speaking, this "angel" suddenly saw Black, limp to the ground.

The sudden change left everyone at a loss, but Cao Cao was the first to react and said, "Come on, pinch him!"

After several times of pinching, the emissary woke up slowly.

Seeing everyone surrounding him, he suddenly said sadly: "I made everyone laugh... I haven't had a drop of water in it for several days..."

"Aren't there relief stations along the way?" Someone asked in surprise.

Speaking of this, the messenger couldn't help but blushed, and said: "When I first entered Yanzhou, I did see some relief... But because I need to work in exchange for relief, I dare not stay longer to delay the business, so. ..therefore..."

If you can't be shamed, you can't be shamed... But this guy would rather be hungry than work in exchange for relief. I really don't know whether to call him pedantic or persistent...

Seeing that the messenger was dying of hunger, Cao Cao shouted outside: "Come here, cook some broth and rice for the angel!"

It wasn't that Cao Cao was reluctant to give him good food, but because the envoy probably hadn't touched meat for several months, and his stomach would definitely not be able to bear the sudden big fish and meat.

"So, thank Cao Zhoumu!" After the envoy finished speaking, he handed the letter in his hand to Cao Cao.

After the envoy was sent down for dinner, Xun Yu's eyes showed deep worry.

Xi Zhicai also sighed suddenly at this time: "I'm afraid the emperor's recent situation is not good!"

Cao Cao nodded with a sigh, and then opened the letter from the Son of Heaven, which read, "Canonize Cao Cao as Yanzhou Mu and General Fenwu."

This time, Lao Cao has completely turned positive.

Not only from Yanzhou Governor to Yanzhou Mu, but also from Dai Fenwu General to official Fenwu General.

All of a sudden, congratulatory voices began to erupt one after another.

Cao Cao's promotion means that they also have more room for promotion, so how long will it be if they don't show up at this time?

Chapter 7 Your Majesty, I think Cao Yanzhou is the most authentic!

Lu Yan had just finished tidying up the desk and was about to end the day's work happily, but unexpectedly, Guo Jia's voice suddenly came!

"Longevity! Great event!"

"Huh, Fengxiao? You came just in time, I just finished packing, let's go out for a drink or two..."

After Lu Yan finished speaking, he was about to take Guo Jia's arm and go out.

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia broke free from Lu Yan's clutches, and said with a righteous face: "How can you leave at will during office hours?"

"?" Lu Yan was about to ask Guo Jia if he forgot to take his medicine today, when three tenor voices suddenly sounded outside.

"Sir! Sir! Sir!"

It turned out that it was Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Li Dian who all begged to see him!

"Cough cough cough..." Lu Yan winked at Guo Jia to express his gratitude.

Guo Jia shrugged his eyebrows as a response.

Returning to his seat, Lu Yan sat upright and asked, "Zi Xiao, Zi Lian, Man Cheng, the three of you came together, but what happened?"

After Cao Hong and Li Dian closed the gate, Cao Ren glanced at Guo Jia, and then asked, "Sir! We just received news that an envoy from Chang'an has arrived in Yanzhou!!!"

Guo Jia controls the Shadow Guard and is in charge of all information in Chenliu County.

Naturally, Lu Yan would not hide from him the information that the Son of Heaven might break away from the control of Li Jue and Guo Si.

The big event he just mentioned actually refers to the arrival of the emperor's envoy.

The relationship between Guo Jia and Lu Yan is well known.

Since Lu Yan kept Guo Jia, Cao Ren and the others naturally understood the key point.

"An envoy from Chang'an has arrived in Yanzhou?" Lu Yan was a little dazed when he heard the words, "Is it early?"

"Sir, what do you think..." Cao Hong tentatively asked.

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Yan felt that it was difficult to say, "The spies in Chang'an did not send back the news that the emperor is out of control, so it is difficult to predict this matter."

The spies placed in Chang'an were from the Shadow Guards. Guo Jia has not received any relevant information, which means that the Son of Heaven has not left Chang'an yet.

"However, as the famine intensifies, it will be a matter of time before Chang'an becomes chaotic." Guo Jia made a judgment, "It's just that it's hard to predict whether the emperor can leave smoothly."
