Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118
In the morning, the people of Xiapi found that all the squares and markets in the whole city were closed. It seemed that those wealthy merchants disappeared overnight, and only sporadic merchants were wandering the streets.

At first, they didn’t notice anything, but by noon, some people had already started to panic. Firstly, they couldn’t buy anything. Secondly, people in this era have been sharpened by the war. All the markets are closed. What happened?
But in the afternoon, one after another Youfang City opened its doors to start business, which made people feel a little relieved, but the people who opened their doors for business today were all unfamiliar faces.

It's not unfamiliar, after all, these traveling merchants walk around the streets on weekdays, even if they don't know each other, they still have a sense of familiarity.

Some people began to curiously ask what happened today. The game between the upper classes in Xiapi City is too far away for the common people in the city. Ordinary people have no way of detecting the undercurrents among the upper classes in the past few days.

"Hey, many merchants in the city have violated the law these days, shoddy, and the government office told me to suspend business for rectification. I have already been checked, so I let it go. Those who have not opened, it is estimated that it will take a few days to open. , to clear up the relationship."

This is the answer given by Chu Nan. It is ambiguous. Let people guess for themselves.It's up to people to guess, it's not what he said anyway.

As for whether these people can wash off the dirty water afterwards, it depends on their ability. However, the chamber of commerce has officially come to the stage after this incident. There are only a few skilled technicians. This kind of skilled workers is not easy to find, but it will never be too difficult.

Of course, shops are not that important in this era. The most important thing is the cultivated land, which is food. So Xue Nian and the others are free to play with the chamber of commerce after Chu Nan explained it. Now Chu Nan still focuses on clearing the cultivated land.

As for the fact that no one is working, there is basically no such thing. In the past two months, what Chu Nan has done most in sorting out government affairs is to classify people and find talents from poor families.

The impoverished families here are all petty gentry whose ancestors have been officials, their families have fallen, and there is not much arable land. They are not low-level people. In terms of survival, one or two generals may be found among them, but it is really difficult to pick out management talents among these people.

Even with the 80,000 people on the household registration book, it is impossible for Chu Nan to see them one by one, and it is even difficult for them to see Chu Nan, just like when Chu Nan wanted to vote for Liu Bei but had nowhere to go.

After categorizing people, they recruited a group and suppressed a group. Now that these people skipped work, Chu Nan just took this opportunity to push his own people to the top. He has the ability to see through people's talents. Grab a handful.

To be honest, those officials in the government office are of average ability and talent, and they are all like veterans in the workplace. There are no young people who are aggressive.

Send these old fritters away, give young people more opportunities, and form your own team. When you become the prefect, if you have enough ability, find opportunities to be promoted to county magistrate and county magistrate. Those who are not capable but outstanding in some aspects, Stay by your side to assist!

At the beginning, the Xiapi gentry saw that Chu Nan was well prepared for business. Although they were not angry, they endured it. After inquiring, people found out that those small families who were excluded from the outermost circle in the past actually took this opportunity to hug Chu Nan's leg.

Moreover, these young people are all stunned, and when they come up, they are so ruthless. Checking taxes today and counting household registration tomorrow, it's like having a deep hatred.

Unknowingly, Chu Nan divided the noble clan! ?

Chu Nan doesn't care whether these people regret it or are willing to change camps, or he doesn't give these people a chance to change camps at all. Although these people are small, they occupy more than half of the cultivated land in Xiapi. If they don't fall, Chu Nan What does Nan use to support the people and attract talents?Flatbread?
"Ziyan, I would like to give you [-] mu of land, and another [-] mu of land, but I'm not in Xiapi. Can you give me a batch of these seeds?" Beside the rice field, Mi Fang looked at the scene of harvesting rice in the field , looked at Chu Nandao sincerely.

It's hard to believe that in one season of rice, Chu Nan grows it twice, and the color is better than ordinary rice.

"Okay, this counts as your share. You don't need [-] mu of land, but you have to pay the tax in full." Chu Nan looked at Mi Fang and smiled, "How many fields are there and how much tax is paid? If you can, measure the land immediately. It will degenerate, but it can still be used in the second season, and it will be difficult to maintain the growth in the third and fourth seasons, so the rice seeds need to be replaced twice a year. Based on the number of rice seeds, I can tell how many fields you have. I also have a deep friendship, now I will tell you the matter first, don't say that I don't show respect when the time comes."

The Mi family is the only wealthy family that Chu Nan has wooed. It is not as good as the Chen family, but it is also a rich family in Xuzhou. What Chu Nan wants is to pay taxes.

"Naturally." Mi Fang said calmly, "Don't worry, since I joined Marquis Wen, I haven't missed any taxes."

This is also the reason why Chu Nan was willing to help Mi Fang. Lu Bu was able to get out of the previous predicament without the support of the Mi family. Mi Zhu could take away the wealth of the Mi family, but not the assets of the Mi family.

"Okay, I'll give you a share. Before winter comes, you should be able to collect two more grains." Mi Fang readily agreed, and did as she did. Naturally, Chu Nan couldn't be stingy.

In addition to generals and soldiers, the biggest problem in war is logistics. When the frontal battlefield is stalemate, whoever has more logistics will have a greater probability of having the last laugh.

So at least before fighting Cao Cao, he needs to prepare enough logistics.

"By the way, how much farmland does your Mi family have in Xuzhou?" After the decision was made, Chu Nan looked at Mi Fang and asked.

"I don't know, basically every county has Mi's farming fields. Xiapi is an important town, so there are more of them. Other counties are not as good. If you count the cultivated land in Huainan, there are always about one million mu. Yes." Mi Fang thought for a while and smiled, "Not as many as the big families of the Chen family, after all my Mi family is mainly business-oriented."

"Give me the [-] mu that Brother Zifang said before. After all, I have a family to raise. You know, my wife is a martial artist and eats a lot." Chu Nan looked at this local tyrant at the end of Han Dynasty. , said calmly: "Brother Zifang's friendship, I will keep it in my heart. Even if you are gone someday, I will definitely take care of the Mi family. One day with me, the Mi family will be rich."

Tian must give, he is a poor guy, and just now he slapped his face swollen to pretend to be fat. This kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable!Well, as a good friend, it is reasonable for Mi Fang to help poor friends who are suffering!

"If Ziyan wants it, I will order someone to send the land deed. I think I can live a few more years, and I am not in a hurry to see my ancestors." Mi Fang said with a dry smile. It was used for replacement.

"I'm just kidding, I think brother Zifang looks like a long-lived person." Chu Nan laughed.

Mi Fang didn't answer the conversation, but turned around and said, "Recently, there are several big families in Dongjun and Langya who have close contacts. What Ziyan has done this time has already alerted those people."

"These aristocratic families are very sensitive." Chu Nan obviously expected this: "Brother Zifang, I have one more thing to trouble you."

"What's the matter?" Mi Fang was a little puzzled: "It's not difficult if you want to give me money and food, but if you want to teach me to be their enemy..."

"No, I don't want to bother Mi's family to take action. It's a simple matter. I need Brother Zifang to spread the word." Chu Nan said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Mi Fang asked suspiciously.

"This." Chu Nan pointed to the field.

"Rice seeds?" Mi Fang asked.

"There is also the news about your [-] mu of land being replanted." Chu Nan nodded: "And some details about the matter of going down to Pi this time."

"Where?" Mi Fang asked.

"For example, because of this, Li Chou of the Li family was promoted to the county magistrate, and Wang Yuan of the Wang family was recommended to the state capital. Those who have been promoted and reused in this incident can be publicized, and they must be vigorously publicized." Chu Nan looked at Mi Fang and said with a smile.

The alliance of the big clans is not afraid, with this kind of rice that can be harvested four or five times a year, coupled with the support of the Shanghai salt trade and the Mi family and the chamber of commerce, the biggest bargaining chip of these big clans, food, is no longer a problem that bothers Lu Bu. Now the only thing they can trap Lu Bu is talent.

And Chu Nan didn't plan to use the talents of these big clans, and it wasn't that they didn't want all of them, but mainly from poor families and small tyrants, there were enough talents, and the next step was to encircle and suppress these big clans.

Although Mi Fang is not a great talent, but after so many years of experience in the gentry circle, Chu Nan can guess the purpose of releasing this news, and nodded immediately: "This is not difficult."

Compared with the intelligence system that Lu Bu and Chu Nan have hastily established, the Mi family's intelligence system in Xuzhou and the ability to spread rumors are obviously stronger. What's more, this is not a rumor, it is just a part of the truth.

Saying goodbye to Mi Fang, Chu Nan went straight to Chen Gong's house. He was too busy these days, so he had to ask the teacher for a buff to comfort himself. The lovely sister Lingqi stayed alone in the vacant room these days, and she was with Hua Ji all day long. Suffering, you have to comfort her.

"Teacher, the disciple is here." Chu Nan came to Chen Gong's house with an upright face, and saluted Chen Gong.

"Not bad." Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan, nodded and smiled, "I have been an official for less than three months, but now I have a bit of tolerance."

The so-called residence shifts the body, changes in the environment and status have greatly changed people. Although Chu Nan was handsome before, he was a little less stable. Now he has been an official for three months. People's feelings have changed quietly, and they seem to be strategizing.

"It's all thanks to the teacher's teaching." Chu Nan sat down and smiled.

"Why are you here today?"

"One is to listen to the teacher's instruction, and the other is to come here. I haven't returned for several days, and I want to discuss with the teacher... Heck, I want to discuss with the teacher about the imperial edict given by Dong Cheng." Seeing Chen Gong's expression was wrong, Chu Nan quickly changed his words.

Chunan also read Dong Cheng's letter to Lv Bu last time, hoping that Lv Bu can attack Cao Cao and support the emperor.

However, Dong Cheng's private letter is not the legendary Yidai Zhao, but this is not important. Now that there is this letter, it should be changed.

"What do you think of Ziyan?" Chen Gong asked.

"This is an opportunity, but if the emperor also has this intention, I think that I can ask for a secret edict. Although it is not the time to send troops, but when our army sends troops, with a copy of the emperor's secret edict, righteousness will be sufficient."

"Are you spreading rumors all over Xuzhou these days to justify your father-in-law's name?" Chen Gong asked.

"That's right." Chu Nan nodded, there was nothing to hide.

"Your father-in-law wants to be invincible, but if he does something like Cao Cao, he can't do it." Chen Gong sighed: "If you do it by force..."

"Teacher, at this point in the world, if my father-in-law doesn't fight, I'm afraid it will be hard to end. Xuzhou is the place of the Four Wars, surrounded by powerful enemies. If we don't fight for the Central Plains, there is no chance." Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong, Sighing: "There is still a chance in the struggle."

"Forget it." Chen Gong nodded, acknowledging that what Chu Nan said was indeed reasonable, and he had seen the situation thoroughly enough: "Let's do it."

"Then teacher, look at the matter of avoiding the fire..." Chu Nan changed his face, looked at Chen Gong and smiled.

"You are safe from fire tonight!" Chen Gong looked at him speechlessly and said.

"Mr. Xie, this disciple is resigning!" After getting what he wanted, Chu Nan stood up with a face full of joy, leaving tomorrow's affairs to tomorrow. Young people, caring for yourselves in time is the kingly way. Ma'am, you are here for your husband~
