System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

He can't collect much tax at all.

In order to feed these war horses, a large amount of food and high-quality fodder needs to be purchased.

As a result, when he sent people to Jizhou to buy grain and fodder again, the merchants in Jizhou directly raised the price of grain and only sold one month's supply at a time.

In the end, Tian Kai had no choice but to send his son and daughter to Jizhou as hostages in exchange for food and fodder for the winter.

Today, Qingzhou has become a blood slave of Jizhou due to Jia Xu's little operation.

Jia Wenhe was forced to raise!

You are so cruel and have such a dirty heart!

What a kind man!

If you were a good person, there would be no bad people in the world.

"No, I can't let Jizhou control me. Otherwise, will I still be myself?"

Tian Kai thought about it again and again and felt that he had to find a way to get out of the current situation.

"My lord, Jizhou produces grain, and Xuzhou also produces grain."

"Why don't we send someone to Xuzhou? The Mi family in Xuzhou is very wealthy and has a lot of money, grain, and grass."

"Plus, Liu Bei has a long history with the Lord, so he will definitely do his best to facilitate this."

Wang Lu stroked his beard and made a suggestion.

"Well, that's all."

"Zifa, please go there."

Tian Kai felt that what Wang Lu said made sense, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

...

Xuzhou

Since defeating Yuan Shu, Liu Bei's prestige has been growing day by day.

In addition, his newlywed wife Qian was also pregnant.

Brother Liu is now in a very high-spirited mood.

In order to better fight against Cao Cao, Liu Bei felt that he needed to win over a few allies.

Of course, even though Tian Kai was hesitant, Sun Ce ignored him, and Liu Biao directly refused, Liu Bei did not give up.

"Our army has recruited 20,000 new soldiers, and we are in a very tight supply of food and fodder."

"Zi Zhong, I'll trouble you to take care of this matter."

"I remember your disciple Fang has been practicing martial arts since he was young. How about serving as a lieutenant under my command?"

Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu and spoke with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mi Zhu's eyes twitched slightly.

Empty glove white wolf.

You have the nerve to lick that big bitch's face.

Inspector?

Now you have so few soldiers under your command, even if your brother becomes a commander, it is just an empty position.

Then you use a nominal position to exchange for a large amount of money and food from my Mi family?

You really know how to do business.

Compared with my Mi family, you, Liu Bei, are the good at doing business.

Oh, I forgot, you used to sell straw sandals.

"This... Envoy, the Mi family is actually in a bit of a tight spot."

"Last year, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou. Many fields were destroyed, and only one tenth of the grain harvest survived."

"This year, the envoy attacked Yuan Shu and borrowed 50,000 dan of grain and fodder from my family."

"This... Alas, my Mi family can only give another 20,000 stones at most, otherwise all the mouths in my Mi family will starve to death."

Mi Zhu said with a bitter look on his face.

"Twenty thousand is fine."

"If it's not enough, I'll find another way."

"Zifang should be in charge of this matter."

Although Liu Bei was a little depressed, he still felt that he had made a profit by getting 20,000 stones for free.

"Thank you, Envoy."

Mi Zhu bowed and said thank you helplessly.

"Xianhe."

"Over in Qingzhou, I'll have to trouble you to make another trip there."

"This time, we must make Tian Kai personally agree to join us in resisting Cao."

Liu Bei turned to look at Jian Yong and gave him instructions.

"promise!"

Jian Yong nodded in agreement without hesitation.

This scene made Liu Bei sigh in his heart.

It also depends on whether the original team is useful and does whatever they are told without any hesitation.

Look at Chen Gui, Mi Zhu, Wang Lang and their gang, each one is more shrewd than the other.

"Okay, it's getting late."

"Everyone, please leave first."

Liu Bei waved his hand and spoke to everyone.

"promise!"

"We take our leave."

Everyone bowed and left the main hall.

"Save another meal."

Liu Bei muttered as he watched everyone leaving.

He now understands Cao Cao.

When you have a big family and a lot of wealth but are still very poor, you will really collapse.

When he had only one Xiaopei, he could still eat meat and drink wine at every meal.

As a result, he became the governor of Xuzhou, but his life became worse and worse.

"Big brother."

"The Mi family doesn't seem very poor, why are they so stingy?"

"Twenty thousand shi, is that something you can afford?"

Zhang Fei complained indignantly.

"Third brother."

"Not everyone is like you, able to sell their property and follow me."

“People cannot be compared with each other.”

Liu Bei shook his head and soothed with a wry smile.
