Chapter 372 New Law
After receiving the announcement from Hexiang Bieyuan, Man Chong hurried over and saw both Xun You and Cui Yan present.

Han Wu didn't speak, he waited for Man Chong to stop breathing before waving at him.

"Mr. Manfu, I heard that the slaughter of farmland cattle is prevalent in Jizhou. Do you know about this?" Han Wu directly got to the point, and it was something Man Chong had never dared to ask.

The sweet potatoes and corn promoted by Han Wu do not need the help of cattle to grow them, and the yield of these two crops is higher. Naturally, not many people are willing to work hard to grow rice and beans.

If rice and beans are not grown, the cattle will lose their function, and it is normal for the people to kill cattle.It stands to reason that Man Chong should issue an order to stop it in time, but he doesn't know what the lord thinks.If the lord thinks that he does not support the cultivation of sweet potatoes and corn, it will be troublesome.

Man Chong nodded quickly, and said: "My lord, I know this. I just bought a lot of cattle with my private money and raised them in various government offices in Jizhou, so as to control the trend of slaughtering cattle."

When Han Wu heard Man Chong's temporary countermeasure, he smiled with satisfaction.

Although Man Chong does things rigidly, sometimes it really makes people feel reliable.

"Okay! Lord Manfu has done a very good job on this matter, and you should be rewarded. Immediately issue an order to announce the three prefectures of Ji, Bing, and Qing. Unless the cattle are infected with rinderpest, slaughtering cattle for other reasons is the same crime as killing people! Those who eat beef are the same as killing people." Cattle are guilty of the same crime. If the owner does not bury the yellow cattle on cultivated land after they die of old age, they are guilty of the same crime as murder!" Directly ordered, Han Wu must stop the trend of slaughtering yellow cattle.

Be cautious, although the slaughter of scalpers represents the progress of the common people, but it will also affect the social atmosphere.

Cultivated cattle are loyal, and slaughtering loyal livestock will affect the people's thinking.Since ancient times, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness have been indispensable. Han Wu didn't want to affect the simple folk customs of the people because of the lack of warehouses.

Man Chong took the order immediately, and he left immediately to write the notice, which was going to be sent to all parts of the three states early tomorrow morning.

Now that this matter has been dealt with, Cui Yan is satisfied.

Han Wu glanced at Xun You, and finally said: "Gongda, I ordered General Zhang He not to mobilize troops, and will pretend to attack Xinye next summer. Please comfort him as much as possible in the document, and don't blame him for breaking the army. At the same time, give him a small reward to make him feel at ease. .”

After speaking, Han Wu turned around and went back to the backyard.

Cui Yan and Xun You bowed and saluted one after another. They all admired the lord's ability and tolerance.

The matter of slaughtering the scalpers was directly resolved in the fastest and best way, and the matter of General Zhang Yun's surrender was also properly handled.

In Baidi City in the south, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen had just sent Liu Bei's envoy away, and then looked at Fazheng.

Fa is the think tank that Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu value more, and now I want to ask him what he means.

After thinking about it carefully, Fazheng said: "There is no need for the two generals to worry. Don't agree to Liu Bei's borrowing of food prematurely. Although Liu Bei is the father-in-law of Mr. Zihuan, when it comes to food and grass, it is not the kind of family affection that can influence it. "

"Liu Shijun won't just borrow food from the two sons. We don't have much food and grass here, and we can't support the Jingzhou army. Liu Shijun will definitely borrow food from the prime minister, and we will make a decision at that time."

Neither Cao Zhen nor Cao Xiu had any intention of lending grain and grass to Liu Bei. After all, the more grain they usually store, the better it will be for Cao Pi in the future.

Cao Zhen nodded in agreement, but asked: "Then do you want to send troops to attack Zhang He? Zhang He lost his troops and lost his generals, but he still stationed his troops in Xinye. This is a great opportunity for us to make meritorious deeds."

Cao Xiu also has plans to mobilize troops, and both of them feel that they are too free now.

Fazheng smiled lightly, and just said: "The two generals asked themselves how Guan Yu and Zhang Fei compare. Liu Shijun and General Zhang Erxiao dare not take the initiative to attack Zhang Yun. How can the two generals benefit from sending troops?"

"The two generals might as well go south to attack the Wuxi Man. If Shamoke can return to his heart, Mr. Zihuan will have the support of another [-] elite troops."

Both Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu sighed, they thought they were inferior to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Although it is not possible to send troops to go north, it is also very good to go south, at least not to stand still.

Although the prime minister asked Cao Zhen to guard Baidi in order to temporarily weaken Zihuan, they couldn't really accept their fate like this.

In Cao Pi's mansion in Chengdu that night, Cao Cao came to see his son's mansion in person, walking around.

Yuan Shao, Xun Yu, and Guo Tu all followed Cao Cao, and he even brought Xu Chu with him!

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Cao Cao is not here to see his son, but to stand up.

Cao Pi asked his servants to take care of several elders, and at the same time brought his wife to visit his father.

After seeing his daughter-in-law, Cao Cao changed his serious expression and became very kind.

"Good boy, go back and rest quickly! I heard that you are pregnant, so don't always get sick. Zihuan, why don't you send you back to the inner room quickly?" Cao Cao said kindly, but let Cao Pi felt very uncomfortable.

Sending his wife back to the backyard, Cao Pi grabbed Sima Yi on the way back to the main hall.

"Zhongda! Do you think my father has any special purpose for coming here this time? Tell me quickly, how should I answer in a moment!" Cao Pi was quite nervous, staring at Sima Yi and asked.

Sima Yi also took a deep breath, and after thinking carefully, he said, "Young Master, I heard that Liu Bei borrowed food from the prime minister, and Liu Bei is the son's father-in-law. I'm afraid that the prime minister's visit this time may have something to do with it."

"If the prime minister asks the young master how much food and grass he should lend to Liu Bei, the young master can just look at Xun Lingjun! Although Xun Lingjun is a person who supports the eldest son, he is kind-hearted, and he is unwilling to make things difficult for the young master. The young master can say as much as Xun Lingjun is with a few fingers. .” Sima Yi thought of this good idea, and hurriedly told Cao Pi.

But Cao Pi still asked: "What if Lord Xun Ling doesn't help me?"

"If Mr. Xun Ling doesn't help you, the more you can talk, the better! If even Mr. Xun Ling doesn't help you, it proves that the status of you is too high in the eyes of the prime minister, to the point where even the prime minister attaches great importance to it."

"Xun Lingjun supports the eldest son. As long as the second son does not affect the position of the eldest son, Xun Lingjun will help you. If you make Xun Lingjun afraid, then you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to be afraid of the prime minister. Go!"

Gently pushing Cao Pi's hand away, Sima Yi told him to hurry to the main hall.

Thoughtful, Cao Pi took a deep breath and straightened his clothes.

Back in the main hall, drinks and food were brought up, and Yuan Shao was drinking with Cao Cao.

Cao Pi glanced at Xun Yu, but found that Xun Yu didn't pay attention to him at all.

Xu Chu glared at him angrily, which made Cao Pi a little nervous.

"Ah! Zihuan, do you know about Liu Bei borrowing food from your father? You are Liu Bei's son-in-law, tell me how much food your father should borrow for Liu Bei?"

Hearing his father's question, Cao Pi quickly looked at Xun Yu secretly, but found that Xun Yu ignored him.

Nodding slightly, Cao Pi prepared to reply according to Sima Yi's words.

Since Xun Lingjun doesn't help him, then Cao Pi must tell the truth!
