The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Sure enough, Li Ru seemed to have opened Pandora's box, causing big trouble to the Central Plains.

Li Jue and Guo Si had more troops, so they immediately went to compete for the granaries around Luoyang.

Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others were also worried about being deprived of food, so they immediately sent troops to plunder.

At the same time, Li Jue and Guo Si also collected grain from the world in the name of the emperor.

If you refuse to pay the requisitioned grain, you are rebelling against the decree.

……

Puyang County, Dongjun, Prefecture.

The imperial edict to collect grain has been delivered to Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao frowned. The emperor was asking for food. If he resisted the order, his reputation for loyalty over the years would definitely be affected.

However, if you send food to Luoyang, wouldn't it mean that you are supporting Li Jue, Guo Bang and other Xiliang wolves, tigers and leopards!

Xi Zhicai was also unwilling to send food to Luoyang, but he said nothing at this time.

It's not easy for him to advise on this kind of thing.

However, Xun Yu said:"My lord, all the princes in the world have forgotten justice because of their own selfish interests. My lord can send 300,000 dan of grain as a token of loyalty."

Cao Cao thought about it and was still a little reluctant to part with it.

Three hundred thousand stone grain is not a small number. Although Dongjun has been stabilized and the bandits have been wiped out, the aristocratic families and wealthy families in Yanzhou also support Cao Cao.

However, support is support, these are troubled times, what is the most important?!

Definitely food!

300,000 stone grains are enough to feed an army of 100,000 people for more than two months, or it can accommodate hundreds of thousands more refugees so that these refugees can live.

Xun Yu then said:"Lord, this is a small matter, and you must not lose your righteousness just because of a small matter!"

Cao Cao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said,"Yuan Rang, Miaocai!"

Brothers Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan stood up.

Cao Cao said:"You will lead five thousand troops to send food to Luoyang, and prepare many flags along the way. I will set an example for all the princes in the world!"

"Here."Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan replied at the same time.

Although they both felt aggrieved, they could only endure it.

……

AD 1941.

The emperor's edict also arrived in Jizhou.

However, Zhou Cheng was not in Jizhou, so Tai sent the envoy to escort the envoy to the outside of the Great Wall.

At this time, Zhou Cheng was inspecting his garden.

Different from the greenhouses of later generations, the greenhouses built by Zhou Chengxin are slightly"huge", each one is as big as a basketball court.

The roof of the greenhouse is paved with wood and straw, and then wool and ox hair braid are used to ensure the temperature inside the greenhouse.

In the greenhouse, a brazier is set up every distance.

It makes the greenhouse feel warm.

Growing vegetables in a greenhouse is not something only in later generations.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor of the Han Dynasty built some large rooms in the palace. In winter, the eunuchs burned fires in them day and night, generating heat. The temperature inside was much higher than outside, forming a greenhouse. The eunuchs planted a large amount of green onions, leeks, mushrooms, cabbage, etc. for the emperor to enjoy.

However, these kinds of off-season vegetables are only specially supplied to a few people such as the emperor. Ministers and nobles may not enjoy this kind of treatment.

What Zhou Cheng is doing now is to expand the scale.

At this time, the people working indoors were all old men and women, who were responsible for adding charcoal to the brazier. This type of work is not considered strenuous physical labor and is just right for them.

Xun Cai, along with Zhen Jiang, Cai Yan, Diao Chan, Zhen Mi and others, also arrived here today.

Although Diao Chan and Zhen Mi are both beautiful, Xun Cai has the final say in everything in Zhou Cheng's harem.

These are the rules. If there are rules, there will be no chaos.

As for who Zhou Cheng favors, that is Zhou Cheng's personal preference. No one can compete for favor and cause trouble to Zhou Cheng.

Xun Cai is the maintainer of order. Although she is not the most beautiful, Zhou Cheng gives her enough power.

It's still snowing outside, and it's all white.

However, it is full of life inside.

Cai Yong couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

At this time, Cai Yan saw his father sighing and asked,"Father, why are you sighing?"

Cai Yong said,"This place is like a microcosm of the world. It is icy and snowy outside, but here it is warm and full of life.

" It was the territory occupied by Zhou Cheng that kept the people safe.

Cai Yong didn't know how to describe Zhou Cheng, his son-in-law.

People in the world only have one word for Zhou Cheng's evaluation: 'thief'.

But everything Zhou Cheng did was a thief.

They used troops to plunder and hijack the people, and forcibly removed the people of Jizhou one after another. This was a matter of anger and resentment.

However, what Zhou Cheng was doing now made Cai Yong feel conflicted.

He is obviously a thief, why should he be so kind to the people?

Not only did they allocate land to the people, but they also encouraged fertility.

When Cai Yong first came, he saw that children were learning literature and martial arts for free.

Cai Yan said:"The people here all regard their husband as their wise master. He suffers from the sufferings of the people and understands the needs of the people. It is a pity that the people of the world do not want to understand."

Cai Yan was rescued by Zhou Cheng because of Cai Yong, and he treated Zhou Cheng Zhou Cheng's attitude has changed significantly. Now he will take the initiative to please Zhou Cheng when he goes to bed.

Just in time, Zhou Cheng turned around and looked at Cai Yong and Cai Yan.

Cai Yan nodded slightly.

Zhou Cheng asked Cai Yan to convince his father-in-law.

Cai Yong was a great scholar of the time, and Zhou Cheng wanted to use Cai Yong's reputation to attract some talented scholars to Jizhou.

As for whether these scholars are willing to work for Zhou Cheng, that doesn't matter.

The key point is to get them to Jizhou first.
