The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 82 Quiet is a little weird

Once the head of the Zhen family, it was not the first time Zhen Yan had returned to Yecheng, and she was also very familiar with the Yuan family.

When he came to the door of the study, the guard reported on his behalf: "My lord, the order to gather wealth has arrived."

"Please come in." Yuan Xu's voice came from the room.

Zhen Yan entered the room, just in time to see a few dark shadows dissipate in the room.

He knew that Yuan Xu must be driving ghosts again.

Yuan Xu looked at him: "When did you arrive?"

"Before entering the city, Pang Shiyuan ordered the young master to call." Zhen Yan replied: "Don't dare to delay, I will come immediately."

"Over there in Taiyuan, is the money still easy to make?" Yuan Xu asked.

"After the young master went to war, I presided over two more auctions." Zhen Yan replied: "Since the Huai County stone tablet came out, the participants have become more enthusiastic. Some people even asked if there is a way to get that stone tablet to Taiyuan..."

"Why?" Yuan Xu thought it was funny and asked.

"Auction..." Zhen Yan lowered her head: "Someone is willing to bid a sky-high price to win..."

"I'm really short of money recently, and I also want to sell it." Yuan Xu said: "But forget it, keeping it is more useful than selling it."

"I've already declined." Zhen Yan replied: "The stele shows God's will, how can it be auctioned at will?"

"That's what it means." Yuan Xu said: "Taiyuan, find someone to take care of it. If you stay in Yecheng in the future, you will be needed here even more."

"I will do whatever the young master asks me to do." Zhen Yan agreed without thinking.

Picking up a few things from the table, Yuan Xu said, "Go to Pang Shiyuan and ask him to allocate a piece of land for you. Yecheng will also hold an auction."

Every time Yuan Xu gave him something strange that he had never seen before.

Zhen Yan can always fetch sky-high prices for these things.

Yuan Xu took out the treasure again, and Zhen Yan asked, "Dare to ask my lord, when is the auction?"

"With the right occasion, it's not too late to auction." Yuan Xu ordered: "I will leave the money-making matters to you, so go quickly."

Zhen Yan took what Yuan Xu gave her and left.

Yuan Xu got up and went out.

When he got outside the study, he told the guards: "Go to the library and invite Tian Yuanhao, Guo Fengxiao and others."

Tian Feng, Guo Jia and others were summoned in the front hall.

When everyone sat down, Yuan Xu glanced at their faces, "It's been a long journey, everyone, you've worked hard."

"My lord, it's hard work!" Everyone responded.

"I invite you to come because there are some things to be implemented." Yuan Xu said: "Except for Yuan Hao, everyone has met me on the battlefield. Some are willing to vote, and some have not expressed yet."

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang He and Gao Lan's faces.

The only ones who haven't made it clear that they will take effect are the two of them.

"Father is dead, so give Hebei to me." Yuan Xu said again: "I need talents, a lot of talents."

"I have already made it clear that I am willing to follow the young master." Guo Jia replied: "The young master treats each other with courtesy, how can you not know how to advance and retreat?"

Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang also expressed their hearts.

Only Zhang He and Gao Lan sat there without saying a word.

"Two generals, have you made up your mind?" Yuan Xu's eyes fell on them.

Everyone also looked over.

Zhang He stood up: "As Feng Xiao said, the young master treats you kindly, how can you not know how to advance or retreat? I am willing to serve!"

Zhang He was willing to vote, but Gao Lan could only agree.

"Since you are willing to vote, I ask you to join me in one heart and one mind from now on." Yuan Xu cupped his fists and said, "I will rely more on it from now on."

"Young master, but there is a drive, all move forward. Everyone responded in unison.

After leaving the front hall, Gao Lan pulled Zhang He aside: "Why didn't Junyi tell me in advance?"

"I only know that the young master summoned me, so I didn't think of it." Zhang He replied: "I also want to understand, there is nowhere to go. It's not the same if you vote early and vote late?"

"Did Junyi forget you and my family?" Gao Lan reminded.

"The family members died in the hands of Yuan Shao, and the young master was not treated well at that time." Zhang He replied, "We voted for the young master, not Yuan Benchu."

Gao Lan was speechless, but always felt that it was strange that he couldn't explain it.

Now that he has expressed his willingness to vote, he can only follow Yuan Xu wholeheartedly.

Everyone left, Yuan Xu left Tian Feng behind.

"How about Taiyuan?" Yuan Xu said, "Although I got some information, it's not that accurate."

"The new crops promoted by the son have achieved a bumper harvest." Tian Feng replied: "The yield per mu is actually nearly ten times that of previous years. The farmers who did not receive the seeds back then beat their heads and regretted it."

Yuan Xu smiled and nodded.

He had expected such a yield per mu for a long time, and he also guessed that after the people of Taiyuan had a good harvest, some families were happy and others were sad.

"What else?" he asked again.

"The poultry is also sold." Tian Feng said: "The broiler chickens are growing wildly. Now the price of chicken in the market is several times lower than in previous years. It is true that every family has meat to eat."

"Every family has chicken." Yuan Xu said: "When I was in Taiyuan, I didn't have much free time. When I came to Yecheng, I had a lot of things to do, and I happened to be able to promote everything that should be promoted."

"With Taiyuan's lessons learned from the past, from now on, anything that the young master introduces will be sold out immediately." Tian Feng said: "But in just a few months, Taiyuan is already full of food."

"Did the high-ranking officials respond?" Yuan Xu thought of the governor of Bingzhou.

"No." Tian Feng replied: "It's unusually quiet. It stands to reason that Taiyuan had a good harvest. He should send someone to congratulate him, but he didn't see it."

"I have asked him to come to Yecheng." Yuan Xu asked, "Do you think he will come?"

"Probably not." Tian Feng shook his head: "After the son went out to fight, he didn't send anyone to inquire about the battle situation, it seems that it has nothing to do with him."

"It's a novelty to ignore it." Yuan Xu smiled slightly: "There will be many things in Yecheng in the future, and you have to take care of them. I will deal with the senior officials."

"My lord, you must be careful." Tian Feng reminded: "I always feel that behind the quietness, there are some ulterior things."

"I know how to do it." Yuan Xu nodded.

Cangting was defeated, and Cao Cao arrived in Huainan.

Huainan was once Yuan Shu's territory, but was later captured by Cao Cao.

Entering Shouchun, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gathering his staff, he discussed military affairs in Yuan Shu's former palace.

Cao Cao asked: "Nanhua is not Yuan Xianxin's opponent. We were also defeated in Cangting. What should we do in the future?"

"My lord, Yuan Xianxin returned to Ye City, took away Yuan Xi's military power, and placed Yuan Shang in an ordinary house." Xun You suggested to him, "Yuan Tan must have heard the news, if you can encourage him..."

"Gongda means to use Yuan Tan to contain Yuan Xianxin?" Cao Cao asked.

"Exactly." Xun You replied, "Yuan Tan is in Qingzhou, and Yuan Xianxin must travel a long distance to attack him. Then my lord will take the opportunity to take back Yuzhou, and even Hebei."

"We have been fighting with Yuan's family for several years, fearing that he will not submit." Cao Cao asked, "Who is suitable?"

"I'm familiar with Qingzhou." Cheng Yu stood up: "I also had some contacts with Yuan Tan, so I should be able to persuade him."
