The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 86
Xiahou Dun and Gao Lan were so drunk that they were carried away from Yuan's house by guards.

Following behind to go out, Pang Tong said to Tian Feng: "The two generals did not listen to your son's persuasion, and drank like this..."

"The wine is too strong." Tian Feng replied: "It looks clear, but after drinking it, it burns all over the body, but the head doesn't hurt."

"That's why the two generals got drunk and passed out." Pang Tong nodded.

Zhen Yan caught up from behind: "The two of you are still talking about the wine that the young master brought out?"

"Yes." The two of them looked back at him, Tian Feng said: "My lord drives ghosts to get the god-given wine, and brewing it as it is, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

"So I need the help of the two of you." Zhen Yan said, "Wine needs grain, and I'm only in charge of the operation, but the allocation of stored grain..."

"There is a shortage of food everywhere." Tian Feng said: "Although Taiyuan has a good harvest, other places..."

"I also know that the two of you are in a difficult situation." Zhen Yan said: "But the young master has arranged it, so we have to do it..."

"Isn't the method of brewing wine still available?" Pang Tong said, "It won't be too late to find us when the young master gives you the method."

"At that time, we will have to rely on the two of you." Zhen Yan bowed his hands to the two of them.

After he left, Pang Tong asked Tian Feng: "Although Taiyuan has a good harvest, there is a shortage of food everywhere. Where can I store food to make wine?"

"Young master also said that you will use the surplus to make wine after the storage of grain is full?" Tian Feng replied: "There is not enough grain now, so I won't be in a hurry to build a winery."

Zhen Yan left Yuan's house and did not return home.

Yuan Xu wanted to build a farm, so it was impossible to choose a site in the city.

He had to go outside the city to find a suitable place.

When they left Yuan's house, it was already dark and the city gate was about to be closed.

After a few words with Pang Tong and Tian Feng, it was completely dark.

Yuan Xu didn't dare to delay the matter explained, Zhen Yan hurried to the city gate with two followers.

When he was approaching the gate of the city, he saw the guards were about to close the gate.

"Wait a minute." Zhen Yan shouted, "I have something urgent to leave the city!"

He is not unknown in Yecheng, and most of the defenders know him.

"Jucai Ling goes out of the city at night, what's the matter?" It was already dark, and Zhen Yan was about to leave the city, so of course the officer on duty wanted to ask.

"Young Master, I have something to tell you. I'm afraid it will be delayed. I have to go out of the city overnight to do it." Zhen Yan replied.

The officers didn't dare to ask about what Yuan Xu explained.

He told the soldiers: "Let the order of gathering wealth go out."

Zhen Yan went out of the city with his entourage.

A soldier asked the officer, "Shouldn't you want a warrant or something?"

"Of course it should be someone else." The officer replied, "Cai Ling is the son-in-law's wife-in-law, and the Zhen family is in Hebei. Whoever dares to do bad things behind the son's back, he will not dare."

The officer patted the soldier on the back of the head: "Learn more, and keep your eyes open when guarding the city gate."

Zhen Yan left the city, observing the terrain all the way.

New rice varieties have only been promoted in Yecheng, and the wasteland has not been fully reclaimed, and many fields on the roadside are still overgrown with weeds.

In fact, you can build a farm by choosing a piece of wasteland at will.

Zhen Yan didn't want to get too close to the village, so she searched all the way.

It is too close to the village, and the government has to expropriate land from the people, which will involve issues such as settlement and pensions, which is really troublesome.

There are many people and few lands, so why bother to make the government uncomfortable.

However, in places far away from the village, the roads are inconvenient, and new problems will arise.

Although there is a lot of land, Zhen Yan still has to choose carefully.

After wandering outside the city for more than an hour, he saw a wasteland in front of him.

There are no villages near the wasteland.

A small river runs through here, not too far from the road.

Choosing to build a farm here will solve even the problem of water source.

Zhen Yan asked his followers: "Do you know which village this is?"

The entourage replied: "Originally it belonged to Xu You's family. After he took refuge in Cao Cao, his whole family was killed by Yuan Gong. All the farmers dispersed, and the land was barren."

"This piece of land has no owner?" Zhen Yan asked again.

"It should be." The follower answered with uncertainty.

"Go back to the city." Zhen Yan turned around and ran towards Yecheng.

The gate of the city was closed, and he came outside the city: "I am Zhen Yan, open the gate quickly!"

The officer guarding the gate was about to go to sleep when he heard him calling the door and ran up to the top of the city to check.

Seeing that it was indeed Zhen Yan and his entourage, the officer asked, "Why did Jucai Ling come back?"

"After finishing the matter, we must return to the city immediately." Zhen Yan shouted: "Open the gate of the city quickly."

The officer told the soldiers to open the city gate.

When Zhen Yan entered the city, he didn't go to Yuan's house, nor did he return home, but went straight to Tian Feng's residence.

Not long after returning to Yecheng, Tian Feng has not taken over many things.

He has been relatively free lately, and he goes to bed early.

When Zhen Yan arrived, Tian Feng had already fallen asleep.

Hearing that he was coming, Tian Feng got up and dressed, and met him in the front hall.

When Tian Feng arrived at the front hall, Zhen Yan stepped forward to greet him: "Please forgive me for disturbing you late at night."

"Ju Cai Ling came to visit late at night, there must be something urgent." Feng asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"I went outside the city." Zhen Yan replied, "I chose a place suitable for building a farm."

"Where?" Tian Feng asked.

"The piece that once belonged to Xu You." Zhen Yan replied: "There are no villages nearby, the land has long been deserted, and the roads are still smooth. There is no other place more suitable than that."

"The Gathering Order really will choose a place." Tian Feng replied: "I haven't taken over the affairs of Yecheng yet, it would be more appropriate to ask Shi Yuan for help."

"I don't know Pang Shiyuan very well..." Zhen Yan felt a little embarrassed: "When I was in Taiyuan, Mr. Tian was always helping..."

"You still need someone who is familiar with what you have explained?" Tian Feng interrupted him: "Go and find Pang Shiyuan, he probably hasn't slept yet."

Tian Feng made it clear that he had not taken over the affairs of Yecheng, so Zhen Yan had no choice but to resign.

When I came to Pang Tong's residence, it was almost ugly time.

I thought Pang Tong was asleep, but unexpectedly he met him in the front hall.

"After having a banquet at the son's place in the evening, Jucailing didn't return home?" Seeing Zhen Yan, Pang Tong asked.

"Don't dare to delay the matter that the young master explained." Zhen Yan replied: "I am afraid that I will miss the important business of the young master, so I took a walk out of the city."

"You want to remind me that this matter must be done first before other things." Pang Tong said: "Don't worry about gathering wealth, the young master has explained it, but if I can do it, I will definitely help."

"I'm looking at a piece of land outside the city." Zhen Yan said, "It's perfect for building a farm."

"Which one?" Pang Tong asked.

"The piece that once belonged to Xu You, but was then barren." Zhen Yan said: "The terrain is flat and there are no villages. The soil is also very fertile. There are rivers and roads. It is also very convenient for the crops to be sent to Yecheng."

"You know how to choose a place." Pang Tong smiled: "Two days later, that piece of land will not be available."

Zhen Yan was dumbfounded.

"I originally planned to distribute it to the nearest place. Since the order of gathering wealth is interesting, I will allocate it to you." Pang Tong said, "I will report it to you tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Shiyuan! With the promise, Zhen Yan made a big gift to Pang Tong.
