Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 57 People Lighting Wax, Ghosts Blowing Lamps

Cao Xiu explained the lack of food among the brothers.

Ten days of food will last for sixty days.

Speaking of this, Cao Xiu and the three lieutenants were about to go crazy, not to mention the soldiers under them, let alone those Qingzhou soldiers who had just surrendered.

It can be said that once the food issue is not handled properly, whether it is Cao Cao or Yanzhou, it will be completely "cool"!
"food!"

Lu Yu whispered softly...

Sure enough, the most worrying problem still appeared, but it was a little earlier than he expected.

After all, the sudden increase in the number of Lao Cao's army is not a solid foundation...

Normally, the ancients recruited a large number of soldiers, either relying on their previous military careers or actively contacting the clansmen. On the premise that Lao Cao did not occupy the two sides, he sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers in one wave, but he must not empty out the food in Yanzhou. .

Lu Yu pondered for a while, and said that there are not no ways to deal with it.

Historically, Xun Yu recommended a ruthless man named Cheng Yu... ah, it seems... the words of a ruthless man are no longer enough to explain the deeds of this Cheng Yu, this guy is simply a "wolf extermination"!
At the time of this crisis, he took the initiative to ask Ying to take on the important task of raising food, and then... he filled the food with dried meat from the starved people, eating people.

Wait until the second year's grain harvest, everyone is happy!

Of course, this approach is a bit unhumane, your sister, cannibalism!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu suddenly felt a nauseating feeling, and even the beef he liked the most was no longer fragrant.

He can't control others, at least the thousand brothers under his command can't eat human flesh.

Gotta figure out a way.

...

"Ugh…"

When it came to the issue of food shortages, Wei Hong also sighed deeply.

"I knew about the lack of food in Yanzhou a few days ago. I heard that a county magistrate named Cheng Yu offered to Meng De a plan to eat human flesh. If it wasn't for the obstruction of Sima Xunyu, Meng De would have already adopted it! "

"Now, it seems that the grain depot in Yanzhou is empty. In order to appease the hearts of the army, Meng De will probably bring this up again. This is a troubled world!"

It is not uncommon for Yizi to eat each other and couples to eat each other.

But when he heard it seriously, Lu Yu was still horrified.

"Old Wei, can we buy food now?" Lu Yu asked immediately...

This…

Wei Hong hesitated for a moment. "In each state and county, there will be some businessmen hoarding and acting strangely, hoarding a large amount of grain in the grain depot, and selling it to various princes at a high price in the black market, making a lot of money... It's just that the prices are soaring, ordinary copper, five baht money, they I can't see it anymore."

"Unless they can come up with gold, jewelry, cloth, or iron and bronze for forging weapons...they will exchange them! But even my Weifu can't come up with so many gold and silver jewelry!"

barter?

The market has already begun to trade things in, isn't it?

Lu Yu rolled his eyes. Because he was familiar with this history, he knew all too well that Dahan's original currency system was relatively stable.

When Dong Zhuo was in chaos, all the copper coins and horses in Luoyang City were re-melted and cast into copper coins, and the original big coins were replaced with small ones, causing the original economic system of the big Han to collapse completely.

In Chang'an, the price of grain has even risen to [-] yuan per dendrobium. In contrast, the economic system of Youzhou under Liu Yu's governance has not collapsed. A stone of grain is only [-] yuan, and a dendrobium is only [-] yuan.

For this reason, Gongsun Zan specially hoarded 300 million hu grains in Yijing for military supplies.

Of course, the Central Plains is not Youzhou, although it is not as exaggerated as [-] Dendrobium, nor is it as cheap as [-] dollars per Dendrobium.

The market price of a husk of grain is around [-] to [-] yuan. With Wei Hong's financial resources, it was nothing to support Lu Yu's team of [-] people.

It's just... today's black market merchants don't play with your coins anymore, where are you going to get gold and silver jewelry?

Of course, if others can't get it, it doesn't mean that Lu Yu can't get it.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately thought of an excellent method. This was simply... a mill of wheat that was picked up -- a business with no capital and great profit.

"Sister Zhaoji, why don't...you go out for a walk first?" Lu Yu suggested..."I, Wei Lao, and a few generals talk about men."

Uh…

On the topic of men, Cai Zhaoji was stunned for a moment. What she immediately thought of was...

"Brother Lu Yu, can't we do the family robbery?" Cai Zhaoji frowned...

Lu Yu scratched his head and replied with a smile. "Sister Zhaoji, don't worry, it's definitely not a robbery. People are doing it, and God is watching, so we won't oppress the good!"

"Really?" Cai Zhaoji bit her lip, she didn't believe it, but Lu Yu's younger brother said so, what else could she do, just... go for a walk?

During the conversation, Cai Zhaoji withdrew from the pavilion with a bunch of maids, and Lu Yu found that there was another maid who was desperately throwing a wink at him before leaving.

This wink is seductive, as if to say. "Continue tonight!"

Lu Yu rolled his eyes back, as if he was talking again. "Next time definitely!"

When she left, she recalled, wasn't this one of the three from last night?Almost unrecognizable with clothes on...

"Cough cough..."

With a light cough, Sister Zhaoji had already left, and Lu Yu motioned for Cao Xiu, the three generals, and Wei Hong to come over together.

Cao Xiu looked eager to try. "Master Lu, it's okay if you really want to loot. I'll do it without leaking, and I won't let people know that this has something to do with us!"

Uh…

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, he looked at Cao Xiu meaningfully, Qianliju, Qianliju, the layout, the layout is small!

Yanzhou is already poor, the soldiers can't get enough to eat, and the people can't get enough to eat, so they rob a bunch of poor ghosts?How much can you rob?The layout is too small!
If you really want to rob, you have to rob those rich people!

Of course, the living rich people are so intertwined in Yanzhou that they cannot move.

The rich people who were simply robbed to death, the so-called gold touching, tomb robbing, and fighting...

Having said that, Lu Yu had watched a lot of related "movies" and "TV dramas" before crossing the road. I have to say that this "Tomb Robbery Notes" thing is really fast for money!

"Cough cough..."

Lu Yu coughed again and asked Wei Hong in a low voice. "Old Wei, let me ask you something, what kind of tombs of princes and nobles do we have in Yanzhou?"

This…

Wei Hong paused. "Why did Young Master Lu ask this?"

Lu Yu replied with a smile: "They are all seniors. If you want to go and say hello, they will definitely bless us."

Oh... Wei Hong knocked on his forehead before he spoke.

"There is a large mausoleum in the western suburbs of Chenliu County. According to legend, it is the mausoleum of Zhao Chongguo, a famous general during Emperor Wu's time..."

"No!" Before Wei Hong could finish speaking, Lu Yu waved his hand. "another."

The military generals were still those who followed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to conquer the Huns, that is, they were poor and white, as you can see by referring to the mausoleums of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

We have to find corrupt officials, Wangsun Guizhou, they are fat!
... Wei Hong thought for a moment again.

"There is another one. Thirty miles south of Chenliu County, there is a mausoleum. It is the mausoleum of Liu Sheng, the second son of King Jing of Zhongshan, and the second king of Zhongshan, Liu Chang."

Hiss, King Jing of Zhongshan?Lu Yu felt that these four words were very familiar!Who is he here?When the words came to his mouth, he was stunned.

However, Lao Tzu was the first King Jing of Zhongshan, and his son was the second King of Zhongshan. Lu Yu pondered that there must be a lot of fat in his mausoleum!
The so-called people light wax, ghosts blow lamps...

King Jing of Zhongshan, it was decided that it was you!
