The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 47 I want to keep [-]% of the copper coins

Tian Feng accompanied Yuan Xu to visit several villages, and they didn't return to Taiyuan until the sun went down.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the barren fields look even more desolate under the setting sun.

"There are so many fertile lands left uncultivated, no wonder many people starve to death every year." Yuan Xu sighed, "The common people are in danger, but heroes are conquering each other. What will the Central Plains look like after a hundred years?"

After the end of the Han Dynasty came the Three Kingdoms, and after the Three Kingdoms came the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the imperial court of the Central Plains was weakened, foreign races invaded massively, and countless people died in the war.

That's exactly what Yuan Xu said.

Although Tian Feng didn't know what would happen in the future, Yuan Xu's worry made him deeply agree.

He nodded and replied: "It's no wonder the young master is committed to agriculture. Having food is the foundation."

"With food, we can support more people." Yuan Xu said: "Without enough people, how can we develop the region? How can we expand the army to resist foreign enemies?"

"What we have to worry about now is Cao Cao. Tian Feng asked: ""In a few days, it will be the day when the Zhen family will send supplies. How do you plan to distribute them?"

"Of course we need to get what we need first, and then send it to Yecheng." Yuan Xu replied calmly: "The Yuan family still has savings, so we can't use that much."

Tian Feng was speechless.

When Yuan Xu told the Zhen family to send the supplies to Taiyuan, he had already guessed that it must be to pluck the feathers.

As for how to pull it out, it depends on Yuan Xu's mood whether to pull out until there is no one left, or to squeeze out a few.

When he returned to the government that night, Yuan Xu locked himself in the study for more than an hour.

The result, of course, is dozens of bags of crop seeds from after 2000 years in the study.

The growth rate of the chickens was confirmed, and the people who had waited and watched rushed to the government one after another, asking to adopt white feather chickens.

Yuan Xu's summoning skills are only level two, and the amount of supplies he fetches every day is very limited.

There are too many people who want to adopt, and of course it is impossible to satisfy all of them.

With the precedent of white-feathered chickens, the people have no doubts about any crops and domestic poultry introduced by the Taiyuan government.

In the days that followed, Yuan Xu launched crops such as cotton, corn, and wheat one after another, and all of them were sold out just after they were announced.

A few days later, the supplies funded by the Zhen family arrived in Taiyuan.

The person who delivered the supplies was Zhen Yao, the current head of the Zhen family.

Hundreds of carriages parked in Taiyuan Treasury compound.

Yuan Xu, Tian Feng and others circled the carriage to check.

"There is no need to send food in the future." Yuan Xu said to Zhen Yao who was following behind: "Taiyuan will not be short of food, what we need is money."

"Raising food is much more difficult than raising money." Zhen Yao asked, "My lord doesn't want food. What do the soldiers eat?"

"As I said, there will be no shortage of grain in Taiyuan." Yuan Xu replied, "In two months, we will be full of grain. What do we need so much old grain for?"

Zhen Yao looked puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask further questions.

Tian Feng said to him in a low voice: "My lord doesn't want food, but if you don't give it, why are you talking so much?"

"I understand." Zhen Yao finally realized: "From now on, only copper coins will be given."

"Send all the food to Yecheng." Yuan Xu ordered: "Retain [-]% of the copper coins, and send the rest along with the food."

"Eighty percent?" Zhen Yao was stunned: "Is it too much..."

"A lot?" Yuan Xu looked at him in surprise: "I sent all the food there, what's wrong with asking for more money? You go to Yecheng and submit it according to the list I gave. Who knows that I will leave [-]% of the copper coins. ?”

Zhen Yao was speechless for a while.

If you want him to send the supplies to Taiyuan first, I dare to wait here.

"You have to make a trip to Ye City." Yuan Xu told Zhen Yao, "If I send someone to send it, it will inevitably be mistaken for tampering."

He actually used "mistakenly" three sons.

Zhen Yao's head was full of black lines, and he murmured in his heart, why did he mistakenly think that he had moved his hands and feet, and he moved his hands and feet thoroughly, okay?

"Fame is very important. I cherish feathers too much." Yuan Xu looked at Zhen Yao: "I believe you can handle things well."

Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by him, Zhen Yao smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do..."

"In the future, if you can't deliver the supplies in person, arrange for someone reliable to deliver them." Yuan Xu ordered: "Tell them everything that needs to be explained. If you miss the point, it will make it difficult for me to be a good person in Yuan's house. You know what will happen." !"

Frightened into a cold sweat, Zhen Yao replied, "I will definitely not cause you any trouble."

"You've been on the road for several days, and you've worked hard." Yuan Xu waved his hand: "Go and rest."

Zhen Yao resigned and left as if he had been pardoned.

Tian Feng asked Yuan Xu: "My lord left [-]% of the copper coins, are you really not worried about my lord finding out?"

"Notice?" Yuan Xu looked surprised: "Why did he find out?"

"Things are done, there will always be rumors." Tian Feng said: "The Zhen family sent so many supplies, but when they left, [-]% of the copper coins were not there..."

"Then I will suffer a little bit and give them so many chickens and ducks." When he was speaking, Yuan Xu had a painful face: "I really don't want to give away so many chickens and ducks."

The muscles on Tian Feng's embarrassed face twitched.

I don't know how many carts of chickens and ducks can be bought by a cart of copper coins.

Taking advantage of it, Yuan Xu still seems to have suffered a lot...

Tian Feng discovered early on that since coming to Taiyuan, Yuan Xu has been particularly obsessed with money.

In order to make money, two auctions have been held.

In the first auction, all the auction items were bought by Wei Zhen, and in the subsequent auction, the auction items were bought by different wealthy businessmen.

The buyers of the two auctions were different, and they both made a lot of money.

In fact, Tian Feng can understand why he is obsessed with money.

Money is needed to buy cattle and donkeys, money is needed to buy war horses, and money is needed to distribute armor and weapons to soldiers...

As the governor of Taiyuan, he has to bear much more than being the son of the Yuan family.

After bidding farewell to Yuan Xu, Zhen Yao left the mansion and went to the building.

As he was walking, a person approached him.

Seeing this person, he immediately felt cordial, and hurriedly greeted: "Second brother!"

It was his elder brother Zhen Yan who came over.

"I heard that you sent supplies to Taiyuan." Zhen Yan stepped forward: "I'm going to wait for you in the building."

"Second brother wants to see me, just send someone over to say hello." Zhen Yao replied, "Why do you need to go there yourself?"

Looking at Zhen Yan, Zhen Yao found that he had completely lost the decadence he had when he left Zhen's house.

The second elder brother in front of him is full of vigor and ambition, and he is a little more proud than when he was the head of the Zhen family.

Zhen Yao asked suspiciously: "Second brother met some good things in Taiyuan?"

"Good things happen every day, which one are you talking about?" Zhen Yan asked with a smile.

"Master, but..." Zhen Yao mentioned that Yuan Xu had changed the head of the Zhen family.

Feeling that the words should not be said, he quickly shut up.

Zhen Yan smiled generously and waved her hands: "What is a mere patriarch? Now you are in charge of the Zhen family, just do it well."
