Liu Xian asked, "A million loads of food and grass were transported this trip?"

Huang Yueying nodded and smiled, "Why do you seem to be unbelievable?"

Liu Xian smiled and said, "It's really unbelievable! A grain transport team transported millions of loads of food and grass. If this was said before, it would definitely be considered nonsense!"

Diao Chan smiled and said, "Are you talking about Sister Yueying's nonsense?"

Liu Xian smiled and said, "You are here to make fun of it again! How can I have this meaning?"

After looking at the account book in his hand, he asked Huang Yueying: "These grains and grass should be shipped out from Nandazhuang in Luoyang, right?"

Huang Yueying nodded and said, "My husband is a clever plan, that's exactly what it means."

Liu Xian thought, "Nan Dacang originally had three million dans of food and grass. This time you moved one-third of the entire warehouse!"

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "My husband is wrong. Nanda Cang originally had seven million harbors of food and grass, but I only transported one-seventh of them."

Liu Xian was surprised and said with a puzzled look: "I remember a report I received not long ago that the grain and grass reserved in Nanda is 3 million dan. Why did it cost four million dan at this moment? Could it be me

Remember wrong?"

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "My husband must have read the report two months ago?"

In fact, in the past two months, the tax grain collected from various places has been continuously transported into our Luoyang warehouses. Not only the Nanda Warehouse, but the reserves of the other six large warehouses have also more than doubled!"

Although Liu Xian knew that he was not short of food, he did not expect that there would be so much food and grass. He said in surprise: "I didn't expect that we had so much food!"

Both women couldn't help laughing. Diao Chan joked: "My husband, the head of the family, doesn't even know how rich his family is. I'm afraid it will make people laugh at me if I tell you!"

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "In fact, the reserves of the seven large warehouses in Luoyang are only part of our reserves. There is also a lot of food, which is stored in the treasury of each prefecture and county according to the orders of our husband.

Now our food is enough for all military and civilians to eat for several years!”

Liu Xian was happy and laughed: "I didn't expect that I would become a rich man!"

The two women laughed. Huang Yueying looked at Liu Xian with admiration and said, "In fact, it is thanks to his husband's water conservancy policy to achieve such a bumper harvest!

My husband had invested so much manpower and material resources in farmland water conservancy construction, but now he has finally paid off. In fact, this year's weather has not been good, but we still have achieved great harvests thanks to the perfect water conservancy projects.

This is all the achievements of my husband's far-sightedness!"

Liu Xian smiled and waved his hand, "Don't say anything like far-sightedness. I got goosebumps when I heard it!"

The two women couldn't help but smile. Diao Chan joked: "My husband is really strange! Everyone likes to listen to praises, but my husband is so disgusted!"

Huang Yueying looked at Liu Xian and said, "My husband is just about being realistic, not being false. This is the real master!"

Diao Chan smiled with a pursed lips and said in a slight way: "Sister's words are quite suspicious of flattery!"

Huang Yueying felt very embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Liu Xian said seriously: "Yueying is right, I just want to be practical and not fake. So tonight, you two don't want to run away." Then he snapped his fingers and said with a wicked smile.

: "Come on something practical!"

Huang Yueying was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was blushing with shame; while Diao Chan had a charming eyes like a silky smile like a flower, and her charming charm was like Daji.

In Yanzhou, the soaring momentum of grain prices is no longer controlled, and Cao Cao had to use powerful means to crack down on black market trading.

At the same time, Cao Cao also tried every means to raise grain and grass to put it on the market, but the grain was limited after all, and the grain prices could not be suppressed at all.

On that day and night, Cao Cao stood in front of his study and looked at the night sky in the distance, frowned tightly, and held a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

Cheng Yu came to Cao Cao, clasped his fists and said, "King of Wei!"

Cao Cao withdrew his gaze, looked at Cheng Yu, and said, "You are here. What do you think about the current food issue?"

Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "I think this matter is just a natural disaster in the final analysis and cannot be considered a man-made disaster! Although some people commit crimes against the wind and raise prices, if it were not for the scarcity of food, they would not be able to raise the price of food no matter what!"

Cao Cao sighed and nodded.

He said: "You are right. I originally hoped that this year's bumper harvest would be able to fill the granaries, but I didn't expect that the weather would not go as expected. This year, the flood and drought were intertwined, causing disasters and production reductions in most places. This year's food problem has become even worse."

Cheng Yu said: "Don't worry, King Wei, just buy food from Jiangdong, and the food problem can be solved!"

Cao Cao frowned and said, "If it were not forbidden, I wouldn't want to buy grain from Jiangdong anyway! Such a large expense has increased the financial burden!"

Cheng Yu said: "As the saying goes, 'When God is about to give a great responsibility to this man, he must first suffer his heart and mind and muscles.' Looking at the kings who have achieved hegemony in the past, without exception, they must go through various hardships before they finally achieve great success.

So my subordinates think that the current dilemma is just a test given by God to King Wei! As long as we survive this difficulty, we will definitely come to an end and embark on the road of prosperity!”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I feel much better after hearing what you said!"

He paused and said to Cheng Yu: "I called you here for another thing. I am always worried about Cao Ren. You should go to Qingzhou immediately and be Cao Ren's military advisor to assist him in guarding Qingzhou."

Cheng Yu held his fists and agreed.

Cao Cao looked into the distance and couldn't help but say, "We were defeated in a big way, and we can't lose any more!"

When Cheng Yu heard this, he felt the burden on his shoulders heavy.

At this time, Cao Xiu, under the guidance of Xu Chu, stepped in quickly, clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said, "King of Wei, I will report urgent matters!" As he said that, he looked at Cheng Yu, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.

Cao Cao saw what Cao Xiu meant and smiled and said, "Cheng Yu is my trusted military advisor, so you don't have to worry about it."

Cao Xiu responded and said, "King of Wei, the last general has just captured a messenger sent by Xun Yu and found a secret letter from him. It is of great importance. The last general dare not delay, so he came to report it to the King of Wei.

!” Then he put a roll of bamboo slips on it.

Cao Cao felt a bad premonition in his heart, and took the letter submitted by Cao Xiu. He opened it and read it, his face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "I am so good to Xun Yu, how dare Xun Yu do this?"

Immediately, Cao Xiu shouted to Xu Chu, "Come troops immediately and bring Xun Yu to see me?"

The two of them agreed and walked quickly.
