The Three Kingdoms: Farmers of the Wei Dynasty, planting mountains and rivers for Emperor Wu

“Marquis of Qiyu.”

“The first batch of grain and grass has been safely transported to the front line.”

Xu Chu hugged his fist and reported, his burly body was full of explosive power.

“Good.”

Qing Yu nodded slightly.

After being canonized as the Marquis of Wu’an Ting, his status rose and he gradually became the core figure of the Cao Cao clique.

Transporting grain from Huainan is faster than from Yingchuan.

According to Xun Yu’s plan, the imperial court was already building the Yingchuan granary and was responsible for hoarding grain.

The amount of hoarding reached 50 million stones at one time.

Even if it encountered natural and man-made disasters in the future, the imperial court had a certain degree of resistance.

It will not be filled with the lives of the people.

The Xiaoice River period is still continuing, and the natural disasters of the late Eastern Han Dynasty are far from over.

The imperial court must have a certain ability to resist risks.

According to Qing Yu’s guess.

Xun Yu must have his own considerations.

With Cao Cao’s approval and support, Qing Yu launched a large-scale land settlement.

Intentionally or unintentionally, it harmed the interests of the family clan.

Why?

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, land annexation was serious.

A large amount of land was concentrated in the hands of the wealthy gentry and families.

In this way, they gained the power to control the Great Han.

Throughout the chaotic era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, all princes were absolute representatives of identity and status.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others needless to say.

Cao Cao’s father, Cao Song, was Jiuqing, and later spent a lot of money to buy the post of imperial lieutenant.

But he is still known as “after castration, pickled”.

If you don’t have a background, you are nothing, and you are not recognized by the family.

How can a common people’s tiger body be shocked and can subdue the children of the family?

You can try to shake the children of high-ranking officials and shake Hangzhou horses.

You don’t have to return the flower if you shake it.

Through the annexation of land, the family hid the population and controlled the output of food.

When the common people no longer owned land, the family controlled more than half of the grain output in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

Then the princes are only the spokespersons they elect.

Yingchuan Group, there is already such a trend!

When Cao Cao marched and fought, he needed to rely on Xun Yu to collect grain and grass.

Why are Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, etc., all a little less interesting?

Their status is not as honorable as Xun Yu, and they do not have the ability to compromise the family clan.

When Cao Cao was founded, he had exhausted all his family resources.

Without the food of the great family, his army could not hold out.

Tuntian.

Let Cao Cao get rid of his dependence on the grain of the family family and gain a certain degree of independence.

Yingchuan Group naturally has to make a certain counterattack.

Of course.

Such a counterattack is not confrontation, nor is it a struggle for hegemony by force.

The Maison has its own means.

Let’s say hoarding food!

Xun Yu established the Thirty-Six Cang in the Yingchuan area.

These granaries are the lifeblood of maintaining the stability of the imperial court.

Why didn’t he build a granary in Luoyang or Yanzhou?

First, transportation is required and manpower is consumed.

Second, kidnap the imperial court in Xuchang!

Only by establishing the capital in Xuchang can there be long-term peace and stability.

So this time the hoarding of food, Xun Yu did it very carefully.

It’s a secret game.

In this game, Qing Yu was naturally divided into Cao Cao’s faction.

He himself is not from a family and does not make many friends with the children of the family.

Apart from being friendly with Cao Ang and Guo Jia, Qingyu developed little bureaucratic network.

The victory of Huainan Tuntian made Yingchuan’s faction feel a certain pressure.

Cao Cao waved his hand and asked Huainan to be in charge of the grain and grass for this expedition.

Maybe it’s not just as convenient and fast.

Also a simple knock.

When Cao Cao opens the palace Yecheng, I am afraid that Xun Yu will be completely dumbfounded.

The national capital is located in Yingchuan, what if it can be stable for a long time?

As long as Cao Cao felt uncomfortable, he naturally had the courage to solve this matter.

And it’s a direct bottom draw!

Qing Yu is a bystander and can see more clearly in order to avoid some pits.

“Lord.”

“The second batch of grain and grass is being assembled.”

“This is a letter from the frontline camp.”

Xu Chu handed a piece of bamboo to Qing Yu.

After Qing Yu saw it clearly, his heart was shocked.

It turned out that the scouts of the Cao army had discovered the movements of Lü Bu’s army, and the five thousand wolves rode out of the city three days ago and lost their tracks

Military Master Guo Jia guessed that Lü Bu was likely to rob grain and grass.

Qing Yu couldn’t give up transporting grain and grass because of the slightest risk.

Loss of food and grass is a felony.

In other words, even if the grain and grass are robbed, Qingyu must also set off.

Not setting out must be his fault.

Set off and be robbed, that can only be said to be bad luck, Qingyu’s responsibility is reduced to a minimum.

Suddenly!

Qing Yu’s heart moved.

Why not take the waterway?

Surabaya can reach Xiaping, which in turn is a tributary of Huaishui.

Shouchun is located south of Huaishui.

If there are enough ships, it can indeed be executed!

So, Qingyu summoned the Jiangdong merchants in the Huainan region and said that he wanted to buy ships and shipbuilders!

A shipwright, worth a thousand stone grains.

A ship, according to the value of a thousand stone to ten thousand stone.

The announcement of the recruitment went out and immediately caused no sensation.

Some caravans with ships are already thrilled.

There is no shortage of food in Huainan.

And wherever food goes, it is hard currency and can be used instead of currency.

Lu Su heard that there was such a good thing and came to negotiate on behalf of Jiangdong.

Sell a thousand obsolete old ships in one go.

“It’s not enough to have boats, I need a thousand shipbuilders as maintenance personnel.” Qingyu made a request.

Lu Su hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded

“That’s fine, it’s just that the price is a lot higher.”

Since ancient times, the status of agriculture, industry and commerce has been determined.

Shipbuilders also belong to the level of “workers”, almost the bottom of society.

Finally, after some negotiation, Qing Yu paid 300,000 stone grain to buy 1,200 ships and 1,000 shipbuilders.

These ships, Qingyu doesn’t care at all, but the shipbuilder is a treasure.

Lu Su is respectful and has a bold personality.

Doing business with him, Qingyu is very relieved.

It was only 1,200 small ships, which could not supply 200,000 Cao troops.

Therefore, water transportation is the initial guarantee, and Qingyu also needs to transport a batch of grain from land as a supplement.
