If it is said that in Qinglong Temple in Chang'an, Fei Qian is driving the changes in literature, while Cao Cao in Xu County, Yuzhou is forcibly reversing a stubborn pathology with force.
A disease that can be called hoarding.
Hoard goods, and hoard people.
Since ancient times, hoarding has been regarded by many as a magic weapon for getting rich.
In the thousands of years of history of China, many people have realized their dream of getting rich through this method and have successfully become idols admired by generations of businessmen.
For example, the originator of businessmen, Obatao Zhugong is said to be proficient in this art.
This has also led to many people, especially those who are latecomers, trying to step on the footsteps of their predecessors and get rich again. Through the time and regional differences in some products, they will frantically absorb profits in the profit margins formed.
However, the profits of different time and regions that naturally occur during the process of this kind of commodity flow are relatively difficult. On the one hand, it is difficult to discover, and on the other hand, even if it is discovered, it may not be available on hand. So what should I do?
The 'smart' guy came up with it, artificially creating different profits, which formed a hoarding quota. For the big man, the simplest hoarding quota is naturally the annual Zhuanghe.
Shandong is itself a high-yield area for grain and grass in the Dahan Village. This was not only between one or two hundred years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also the entire Han Dynasty for three or four hundred years. So normally, in Yuzhou and Jizhou, there was no shortage of food and grass. Moreover, the technology of storing grain in the Han Dynasty can ensure that the grain will not rot for a long time, and even in later generations, millet stored in the Han Dynasty could be found in the tombs a thousand years ago!
Of course, the millets in the tomb are naturally inedible, but they can make them spend a long time without rotting into dust until they are excavated and discovered, which also shows that as early as the Han Dynasty, grain storage technology was already at a relatively high level.
Therefore, in Yuzhou and Jizhou, a relatively high-yield grain production area, there are relatively high grain reserve technology, and it is an abnormal thing to call disasters and failures every year to harvest and rise every year.
Although Cao Cao has been conquering and indeed needs to use food and grass in recent years, it has greatly eased from his previous state...
It's very simple, because before the struggle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was based on their own basic foundation. Now Cao Cao has not only reduced the intensity of the struggle, but also made it easier for Jizhou and Yuzhou. All the burden should be reduced by half accordingly.
Although such a general estimate is not very accurate, at least one thing can be clear that over the past period of time, at least during the time after Cao Cao replaced Yuan Shao, it is very problematic to keep the price of grain high!
This continued rise in food prices related to basic people's livelihood will inevitably bring about fear and anxiety about life, abuse and resentment of the court. The powerful and powerful families in the middle are shirking responsibility on the people. Everything is God's disgrace to face, everything is the order of the court, they obey orders, they all have no choice, and they can do nothing.
Who gave the order?
The top.
Who is above?
The top is the top.
Later, everyone got up.
These guys have formed a complete set of standard processes. On the one hand, they have speculated on the shortage of food, causing panic among the people on the market, and on the other hand, they report the disaster to the court and request more free supplies. What’s more interesting is that in these "draided" areas, if the people want to obtain affordable food, then there is no, but as long as you add money, hey, there is it!
Yuzhou, Yingchuan, military farm.
In this military farm near Yingchuan, there are only one-third of the military farm soldiers stationed in Yuzhou.
At present, in the military farm, large bags of grain and horse materials are piled high.
If this batch of grain and grass arrives in Yingchuan, it will surely stabilize the food prices...
The minor official who was trapped in the army, holding a wooden slip in one hand and a brush in the other, stood in a baggage cart and screamed so hard that his throat was slashed.
A pile of civilians and military soldiers were running the food and grass, packing, loading, and then preparing to transport it to Yingchuan.
In addition to the military soldiers, the civil servants were labor service drawn from nearby areas. After serving this labor service, they could also be considered as completing the service period this year. In addition, they could also get some rewards, exchange food or get money, so even these civil servants were busy at home and had no complaints.
There are more than just Zhuanghe in the military farm.
After all, there are so many people in the military farm, so they cannot be grown in the usual amount. They are dressed in their bodies, tools, etc., so there are also weaving and ironworking in the military farm. These made in the military farm are also provided to other places except for some of them for their own use.
The military farm covers a wide area, with piles of grain, piles of horse materials, and large bundles of military equipment everywhere. Coats, blacksmiths and carpenters gathered, and they all built sheds to eat and live there. Under the supervision of Sima in the army, the vehicles were repaired, mules, horses, repaired utensils, and tanned leather goods. In addition, the military farm soldiers came and went, and there were crowds of people everywhere, and they could not stop day and night.
Ren Jun is the general of the military farmer. At this time, he not only had to check the documents and approve the documents in the big tent, but also went out to conduct random inspections from time to time.
For a team, the team rate may be as long as it takes into account the amount of supplies and staff of this team, and the handover from wherever it is, it is over. However, Ren Jun must arrange personnel and materials according to the instructions issued by the Shangshu Desk and transport them to various places. How many teams should be set off and how many teams each team is. They all require discretion and accounting...
The big man did not have a computer or a calculator, so not only Ren Jun was busy in the big tent, but even the little officials next to him couldn't raise their heads while calculating, and they all felt like rabbits.
All the supplies were continuously sent to Yingchuan first and then delivered to the hands of generals from all walks of life.
After all, there is chaos everywhere at the moment, and it is also an urgent need for food. If it is delayed, it will not be a trivial matter!
Yesterday, a new batch of food and grass was received. The military officials were busy from yesterday morning until now. They ran around and organized a escort team of thousands of people, arranged soldiers, civilians, and mules and horses pulling carts. They all needed to be arranged. As the departure was approaching, the logistics team brought the newly released hot and hot cookies into the bag, counting the heads of the people.
Everyone was yelling at the top of their voices. After seven or eight steps, they could no longer hear clearly what the other party was saying.
"These horse materials are all essential materials. If you go to two people, count them and don't leak them! Have you covered the oil cloth? Let me explain! Don't get wet in the rain!"
"Did you check the amount of wheat and millet again? Each truck needs to be stamped! The hemp rope must be tied tightly! If you don't check it carefully now, it will be more troublesome at that time! Count it again!"
When the convoy was about to set off, Ren Jun came out of the central army's tent and pulled a military Sima to explain. When he carefully checked, he heard strange sounds appearing from afar, which caused some restlessness...
The convoy was stopped.
More than a thousand people, three or four hundred supplies, were stopped!
Because there is definitely not such a large open space inside the camp of the military farm to accommodate such a long convoy, we set out directly on the road outside the camp. However, the whole road has stopped now, and the driver behind is stuck. I don’t know what happened, so I jumped out of the car and asked.
These coachmen are all charged by trip, not by the number of days, so they are stuck, so they are naturally in a hurry to ask about the situation, but the soldiers in front of them rushed back and reported to Ren Jun: "Report to General! They are from the Sili Captain!"
"Sili Captain?!" Ren Jun frowned.
Seeing the messy shouts of the soldiers and laborers in front of him, Ren Jun's hair and beard almost stood up. What happened? He took his personal guards around him to separate the soldiers and laborers from both sides and laborers and carried forward.
After walking forward for a while, I heard heavy footsteps, and then a rippling sound of armor. A group of people in front separated the Lai and others and walked over. The leader was Zhong Yao, the captain of the Sili School.
Because Sili is just a joke now, Zhong Yao actually was appointed as the Sili School Captain as the Minister of State. However, after all, the name of "Sili School Captain" is there, so it also has a certain effect when it is really used.
Zhong Yao is an old minister. Is he not old yet, but his qualifications are relatively old.
After Zhong Yao was elected as a filial and honest person, he became the Minister of Shangshu and the Magistrate of Yangling County. Later, he resigned due to illness and was immediately recruited by the three prefectures to serve as the Chief of the Tingwei and the Minister of the Huangmen. Moreover, he also played a very important role in the Emperor Liu Xie leaving Guanzhong for Xu County.
"Zhong Shizhong," Ren Jun stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing?! These food, grass, horses and materials are all transported to Yingchuan for military use! If you miss the military plane, who can afford it? Why stop it?!"
Zhong Yao smiled slightly and bowed and said, "I'm here under the order of the Emperor!"
"Son of Heaven?" Ren Jun frowned even more.
Although Prime Minister Cao is in charge of the court at the moment, he did not say that he would abolish Liu Xie for one day, so Liu Xie will still be the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and his edict is still the highest order in the name of the Han Dynasty.
Zhong Yao signaled, and then he had his guard forward and handed the emperor's edict to Ren Jun.
Ren Jun opened it and saw, "What?! This..."
Ren Jun couldn't help but say a little, then closed his mouth and glanced at Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao stopped and looked around, "Is the convoy ready to set off today?"
Ren Jun's eyebrows were almost strangled together, "Zhong Shizhong! What does this mean?"
Zhong Yao waved his hand, "Can you borrow a step to speak?"
Of course, this borrowing step is a serious borrowing step.
Ren Jun took a breath, calmed his mind, and then issued an order to repair the on-site, which was to go to the central army tent with Zhong Yao to the military camp in the military field.
Zhong Yao followed Ren Jun slowly, as if he didn't care that the military camp was Ren Jun's home court.
Although there was an imperial edict, in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, local counties and counties under Cao Cao's rule, especially in the army that had some relationship with Cao Cao, everyone knew that the emperor's orders were not easy to use, and Cao Cao's instructions were only effective!
Although Ren Jun's surname is Ren, he has some relatives with Cao. Ren Jun's wife is Cao Cao's sister, so she is in this position that is not very prominent but very important.
After entering the Central Army tent, Ren Jun did not give in. After sitting in the upper position, he let Zhong Yao sit in the lower first guest position. Zhong Yao didn't mind, and smiled and sat on the guest position. His demeanor was still graceful, which made Ren Jun mutter whether he was too stingy. After all, Zhong Yao was carrying the emperor's decree, which in a sense was equivalent to an angel...
But now it is obviously even more inappropriate to sit back and sit back again, so Ren Jun could only cough and then ask: "Zhong Shizhong, what is the reason for this matter?"
Cao Cao collected 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers, but these 300,000 are imaginary numbers in themselves, and they are not entirely strong soldiers. They are still like ordinary Yellow Turban thieves, with family members. Of course, there are Qingzhou soldiers in the military farm in Yingchuan. No, they should be said to be from Qingzhou.
Zhong Yao stroked his beard slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "Can Ren Zhonglang know about Kong Wenju's affairs?"
Ren Jun was suddenly confused and was touched by why he touched Kong Rong again, but he couldn't say he didn't know at all, because he was actually one of the parties present at that time.
"A brief understanding of one or two." Ren Jun gave an ambiguous answer.
Zhong Yao smiled and didn't care, and then continued, "Then, Ren Zhonglang, you can see that the seven brothers of Kong Wenju, one of whom was named Qian, was in Yingchuan..."
Ren Jun suddenly understood a little, and glared at the top and said, "Can't this matter be... this is related to this person?"
Zhong Yao nodded and said, "This person has sued the emperor..."
Ren Jun suddenly had a toothache.
Ren Jun understood that for Emperor Liu Xie, Kong Rong was a great man, and Wang Can was a great loyal minister! Therefore, of course, he also had some good feelings for Kong Rong's brother Kong Qian. Then, after hearing Kong Qian's lawsuit against the Qingzhou soldiers for "running rampantly, chasing the local area, killing the people, burning villages, and other crimes, he was naturally furious and immediately ordered an inspection.
This is the origin of this edict in Zhong Yao's hand.
It's simply inexplicable!
How to be on this node?!
Ren Jun sat there and took a deep breath.
What does Kong Qian want to do?
Getting Qingzhou soldiers?
No, this is going to be the prime minister!
Just when there are wars everywhere, there is a cauldron to remove the firewood from the bottom!
Damn it, damn it!
Although Ren Jun is not a wise person and can only be disappointing in terms of force, he still has some political experience and does not take long to figure out the key to the problem.
This matter doesn’t matter whether it is true or not, nor does it involve the Qingzhou soldiers, but Cao Cao!
This is a conspiracy!
It may be said that it was Zhong Yao’s conspiracy in front of him!
Ren Jun's eyes flashed.
However, why did the Prime Minister not stop him and asked Zhong Yao to come? What happened? Why was there no news?
Normally, Zhong Yao came from Xu County, Yingchuan, and it is impossible for the Prime Minister to know that?
No matter what, Ren Jun could not allow Zhong Yao to search and arrest the so-called rebellious "Qingzhou soldiers" in the military camp. It was not because Ren Jun intended to cover up, but because Ren Jun was not allowed to do this in this matter!
What's more, even if the Qingzhou soldiers really commit crimes, they were not done by the Qingzhou people here in the military camp. What's the reason for pursuing the investigation? But if you refuse, it may be a serious consequence and lead to more serious consequences. At that time, Ren Jun himself is a trivial matter, and it will be inappropriate to cause trouble for the Prime Minister.
In addition, Xiahou Dun has sent troops to quell the rebellion, and he needs food and grass!
Ren Jun's thoughts were turned into an electric decision, and finally he made a decision...
No matter this emperor's order!
First stabilize Zhong Yao, then hurriedly send someone to Yingchuan to find Cao Cao's decision, and then respond after the news...
Zhong Yao glanced at Ren Jun. Although Zhong Yao didn't have much contact with Ren Jun, well, in fact, most of the Cao Xiahou family, including generals like Ren Jun, had no relationship with civil servants in Jizhou and Yuzhou like Zhong Yao, but Zhong Yao basically guessed what method Ren Jun was going to use.
When Ren Jun was about to find an excuse, there was another noise in the camp!
Even in the central army's tent, he couldn't stop the loud shouts!
"We are under the military order of the Prime Minister! We are not subject to the control of the Emperor! What kind of emperor's edict is a mess! Everyone is rescued by Prime Minister Cao from Qingzhou, and he personally incorporated it into the army! Here, this clothing, these grains and grasses are all given by Prime Minister Cao! Don't tell me the Emperor, the Emperor didn't give us anything! We don't listen to the emperor's edict, we only listen to the military orders of Prime Minister Cao!"
"Everyone is Prime Minister Cao's personal army! Prime Minister Cao's honor will naturally have his future wealth and status! Prime Minister Cao is deprived of it, and everyone becomes the helpless Yellow Turban bandits! These guys are here to find trouble. Brothers, if you want me to tell me, you will coax them back! What's wrong with the emperor? At worst, it's up to the emperor to argue before the emperor!"
The sound of shouting is like waves higher and higher.
There are regional cultures there, and these Qingzhou people are often disliked when they go to Yingchuan to cultivate farms. Ordinary Yingchuan people don’t know whether someone deliberately instigated them, but it is Qingzhou people who occupied some land that originally belonged to Yingchuan to farm, and they easily fell into the trap of excluding Qingzhou people with Yingchuan’s wealthy families, which has always had some minor frictions between Yingchuan and Qingzhou people.
However, such a small friction will lead to Qingzhou soldiers massacre Yingchuan villages. This seems to be possible, but it seems that it is not in such a situation...
When Zhong Yao and others came to the camp to investigate and capture the "murderer", they immediately sparked conflicts with each other.
Although the Qingzhou soldiers did not read any books like the Yingchuan gentry, they basically knew who they could gain a foothold here and have a relatively stable life, rather than being buried alive or beheaded by the famous Han generals like other Yellow Turban thieves!
In the hearts of these Qingzhou people, this area of ​​military farming is the place of peace that I finally got. If it is easily mixed up by Zhong Yao and others, I don’t know where to fall to it at that time!
In the chaos, it was not clear whose shouting caused a confrontation between the two sides.
Chapter completed!
