This work-for-relief method completely dispelled the worries of the refugees, and the Taishan wage standard is one payment per day, with no arrears, and can be eaten by as many people as they come. Anyway, Chen Xi is already familiar with the game, as long as the money is still there
If Tarzan moves, he can keep playing.
And it happened that Chen Xi was not short of money and food in a short period of time. The property obtained from the bandit training was sold to Xuzhou, and then the food was brought over. Xuzhou had plenty of food, and Tao Qian was willing to support Liu Bei, so he was naturally willing to lend Chen Xi food.
Suppressing bandits and purchasing grain, Chen Xi had over a million tons of grain in his hands.
It has to be said that Kong Rong's reputation and Tao Qian's wealth have strong support. Liu Bei's life is now much better than Cao Cao's. At least now, Taishan County is full of busy scenes, and there is even a kind of
False prosperity, at first glance, there is a lot of traffic and prosperity, but Cao Cao is still wandering...
The reason why it is said to be false is that once Chen Xi withdraws from the grain investment at this time, the entire Mount Tai will enter a state of depression and even collapse quickly. However, as long as he persists for a few more months until September, when the millet matures, Chen Xi will withdraw from his own
There will be no problem with inputting food.
What Chen Xi has to wait for now is these three months. With Chen Xi's own seeds and a small number of cattle, he has basically cultivated all the land that can be cultivated in Mount Tai. Anyway, it only takes a hundred days for summer grain to be carried.
The basis for future plans has been laid, so during this period, Chen Xi has been prepared. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will die!
In this July of 191, Yuan Shao had just sat on the throne of Jizhou, Cao Cao was about to establish a foothold in Dongjun, Gongsun Zan had not yet taken all of Youzhou, and Liu Yan had just sealed off Yizhou and was preparing to become the king and hegemony. At this point in time, everything was being consolidated.
The foundation, no one will jump out to provoke, is the last opportunity for development.
192 and 193, these two years can be regarded as the last opportunities for development. Since 194, natural disasters have continued, severe droughts, locust plagues, plagues, and various natural disasters have continued to wreak havoc. However, in 192 and 193, the unlucky one was only Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an.
There are earthquakes every year, so the three gods change every year...
Taking advantage of this last opportunity, Chen Xi was ready to buy food everywhere. He probably would never have such an opportunity again. If he could collect enough food for several years at once, he would not be like the Taishan prefect Ying Shao in history who was clearly defeated.
In the end, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans did not get any benefit at all because of food. Food is king in this era!
Take advantage of the last two good harvest years to gather money and food, and when there is a locust plague and drought, take advantage of the natural disaster to swallow up all the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. This is the most realistic and feasible plan. In short, what we have to do in the past two years is
Build walls high and store grain widely.
Zang Ba had already surrendered. Zhang Fei saw that there were not many good generals on his side, and Zang Ba could be regarded as having seen through it, so he didn't say much. As for Hua Xiong, he calmly accepted Zang Ba as his deputy general, although he had relied on him before.
Zang Ba was defeated in the battle, but his family knew his own affairs, and it seemed that he was no match for Zang Ba if he really wanted to lead an army.
Zang Ba was very happy that Hua Xiong was willing to accept him as his lieutenant. Although he was seriously injured, he still gritted his teeth and mounted his horse. He patted his chest and said that he still had some popularity in Mount Tai and was willing to go to Jiangsunguan, Wudun, and Yili.
Three people.
Although Hua Xiong's brain was not very sensitive, he thought he could give it a try, so Zang Ba was so grateful that he sent a few people to take him to Sun Guan's village.
Sure enough, Zang Ba, who was also a stickler, did not take this opportunity to rally his troops to fight Hua Xiong. Instead, because of Hua Xiong's loyalty and trust in him, he went to great lengths to surrender all three of Taishan's biggest bandit leaders.
, and Sun Guan tied himself in front of Chen Xi shortly afterwards.
The grain robbery incident was over, and Chen Xi, the dead Zhen family member, was too lazy to take care of it. Anyway, they could no longer play with the Zhen family.
With Mount Tai leveled in September, Chen Xi finally had a lot of time to waste, and he also had some useful people on hand. Of course, he basically failed to recruit the counselors he had envisioned before. These guys basically didn't think highly of Liu Bei or Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Hong, Gu Yong and other guys from aristocratic families also ridiculed Liu Bei's men who came to recruit them.
In the end, Chen Xi gave up the idea of continuing to recruit civil servants. Anyway, he can do things like Guangjiliang by himself. If he has it, he can drink a few more cups of tea every day at most. If not, he can just drink a few less cups.
Tea doesn't have much impact.
As for the Zhen family, who originally planned to invest in Liu Bei, they quietly reduced their investment in Mount Tai after Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou. It can be seen that in the eyes of the Zhen family, Liu Xuande, a Han clan clan member whose identity has been proven by the clan government, did not
Yuan Shao of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes has potential.
Chen Xi had already made predictions about these things and didn't take them to heart at all. Courage and adaptability are always necessary for a good businessman. He never thought that because of his arrival and random arrangements, the Zhen family would fully help.
What, these are simply impossible to achieve.
There must be inextricable connections between the Zhen family, which is located in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao, who occupies Jizhou and is expected to dominate the world. In addition, family management will naturally not overwhelm the entire family because of one person's personal feelings.
On the surface, the Zhen family seems to be just a wealthy businessman, but Chen Xi knows a very interesting thing. Can the Zhen family, with a hereditary official position of two thousand tons of salary, be just a wealthy businessman?
The Yuan family is the fourth generation of the three princes. In the Three Kingdoms era when aristocratic families valued being well-matched, how could he let his favorite son marry Zhen Mi just because he said that this girl was worthy of the world? Are you kidding me? So what if the family fortune is tens of millions?
The whole of Hebei belongs to his Yuan family, and it has become a global phenomenon. Who is a rich businessman? How much does it cost? What a joke!
Chen Xi has nothing to say about the choice of the Zhen family. Now is not the time to make such calculations. Moreover, even if Yuan Shao is really dealt with by then, the Zhen family cannot be wiped out. At most, the head of the family will be changed. If he no longer has the absolute strength to challenge this family,
Hierarchy is an unwise move. Of course, if Liu Bei is really annoyed, there will be nothing he can do.
The withdrawal of the Zhen family completely annoyed Liu Bei, who had been in the hot seat recently. After all, he failed to recruit celebrities and was ridiculed. Now even wealthy businessmen dared to tease him. Liu Bei was understandably annoyed.
Fortunately, after Chen Xi clarified the stakes, Liu Bei did not completely fall out with the Zhen family. However, judging from Liu Bei's suppressed anger, it is estimated that the Zhen family will definitely not be easy when it falls into Liu Bei's hands. It is estimated that the anger will spread throughout Hebei.
All families will be in bad luck.
As a last resort, Chen Xi had no choice but to say hello to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, and gave them Jizhou's business, telling them to quickly squeeze out the Zhen family's salt industry and horse business outside the Great Wall, and ask the Zhen family to apologize to Liu Bei as soon as possible, otherwise they would wait.
This anger has been simmering for three to five years. After Chen Xi captured Qingzhou, he crushed Yuan Shao and the Hebei family might have brought all the Zhen family into trouble.
