Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1644 You hurt Tianhe (add more to repay the debt)

Lu Bu in the Western Regions is like a wolf king, patrolling his own territory, and Cao Cao at the junction of Yanzhou and Jizhou is also like a wolf. After defeating his opponent, he licks his wounds and roars to the sky , demonstrating the sovereignty of the territory.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao's original reputation in Yanzhou was quite good. He also served as a local official in Chenliu County for a period of time, leaving a little reputation, but it was still not worth the continuous conquest and mobilization of money and grain over the years, and Yanzhou Naturally, the relationship between the big gentry families is getting worse and worse, and the side concessions are even more notorious.

   But now, Yanzhou's fluctuating mood seemed to be suppressed again.

  Cao Cao actually won the battle between Yuan and Cao?

In this battle, from east to west, there are three battlefields on the left, middle and right, and there are more than ten battles, both sides have invested more than 200,000 soldiers and farmers. There are two big battles in the Heluo area alone, not to mention the middle battlefield. Above, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao faced each other face to face.

  In addition to the number of human lives above, there are some other consumptions, which are also quite astonishing.

Both sides have built camps that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and there is not only one, and the confrontation time spans autumn and winter. The time is long, not only the needs of the building, but also the needs of life, and the destruction of the vegetation and ecology of the entire war zone. , are amazing.

  The tree is light. The trees on both sides of the road, on the small soil slopes, on the edge of the field, and as far as the eye can see, are now all kinds of tools or ashes from the fire.

   Zhuang He is also gone. The plowed fields are abandoned, in order not to let the crops become the enemy's spoils of war, or become the enemy's hiding place, they are either cut down first, or set on fire directly. barnyard grass. This kind of barnyardgrass is not bad for raising cattle and sheep, but it is inedible for humans. What's more, Cao Cao doesn't have many cattle and sheep...

   Even the fish and shrimp in the rivers and lakes were salvaged. The big fish were eaten up, the small ones were eaten up, the small ones were eaten up and the shells were eaten up, but everything that could be eaten was eaten up. Many of these aborigines who had been wagging their tails in the river mud and living freely for decades or even hundreds of years were completely extinct in this catastrophe.

   It can be said that throughout the long and continuous war, although Cao Cao won, he was covered in wounds, especially the fruits of victory were poisonous!

Although Cao Cao discovered something was wrong from the beginning and took isolation measures almost immediately, many soldiers were still infected with the plague, and they fell ill one after another in the next few days. Yuan Shao stayed in the old camp for a little longer, and it was completely burned down in a big fire, so there was no recycling or utilization.

  After killing Yuan Jun’s soldiers and civilian husbands, some voices always rose up, which is actually normal when you think about it. These Yanzhou gentry were already very reluctant to take out money and food, and their flesh hurts to death. Now it seems that after winning the battle, there is nothing in return, and they can't even get a hair. It is almost equivalent to saving money for more than ten years or a few Ten years of wealth has been thrown into the water, and it's just a sound. Will this make these big Yanzhou households accept the result with peace of mind?

  Cao Cao cheated not only the seed round, the angel round, but also the A round, and even the B round, and now he wants the C round with a shy face!

  Who can bear this?

   Complaints arose naturally, but they couldn't be said explicitly.

  Therefore, attacks on Cao Cao's personal character, saying that Cao Cao is not benevolent enough, killing too much, and hindering Tianhe's speech, have become more popular. After all, who would not seize the commanding heights of morality? What happened to BB's two sentences? Do you understand that the mouth of the people is better than that of Fangchuan?

  Night.

   "Hey, let me tell you, do you know why there is an epidemic this time?" Someone said in the military tent.

   "Why?" Another soldier said that he could talk about a five baht coin.

In the temporary camp of Cao Jun, the soldiers huddled in the tents and prepared to go to sleep after using up their latex. Before falling asleep, they couldn't help chatting with each other. After all, they finally won the victory and crawled out of the **** of life and death. , is now returning to Yuzhou, and I feel somewhat relaxed.

   "Hehe, what about this..." The soldier who spoke first wanted to show off.

   "Ni Niang Li, do you want to talk?" Someone got impatient, "Believe it or not, I got up and beat Ni?! Talking gibberish..."

   "Okay, let me tell you, let me say..." the previous person said, "but don't say it, I heard this from a friend..."

   "Okay, if you fart, let it go!"

   "I heard that this epidemic is due to... ahem, it is a warning from God..."

   "What do you mean? Explain more clearly?"

   "You still don't understand this? God thinks that we killed too much, which hurts peace, so he got angry and brought us a disaster..."

"real?"

   "Is this true or not? My lord back then..."

  The soldiers in the tent were about to continue talking, but they were suddenly interrupted by a call...

   "Meet the lord! Why is the lord here?" Cao Chunzheng was walking, and when he looked up and saw Cao Cao standing outside a tent, he couldn't help but greeted him.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, looked at the tent that was suddenly quiet as if it was dead, closed his eyes, let out a breath, then shook his head, and continued to move forward, "Someone came to find Zilian... Zilian Where is it located?"

Cao Chun glanced suspiciously at the tent where Cao Cao seemed to have been standing for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "General Zilian is currently inspecting the front battalion... If my lord has something to do, just say hello, if someone goes to call General Zilian come over?"

  Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I'm bored in the tent, so come out and take a walk...you can do what you want, you don't have to follow XX..."

  Cao Chun was stunned for a moment, then handed over his hands and said yes, waiting for Cao Cao to go far away before taking his men to continue patrolling the camp.

  The footsteps have gone away, and the tent is still as quiet as a dead zone. If there are not some heavy breathing sounds, I am afraid that all the people in the tent are dead...

  ...Here is the dividing line that has been battered...

   The battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao has come to an end, but the favorable situation on the battlefield has not only failed to ease the tense situation in the Xu County market, but it has become more intense.

  From the beginning of the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao last year, the price of grain began to soar upwards, from more than 1,000 yuan per dendrobium to 20,000 yuan per dendrobium in an instant. After the new year, the price of grain has risen more rapidly, like a tiger out of the cage, out of control, and in a short period of time, it has risen to 150,000 yuan, and when it is not available, the grain shops in Xu County are simply closed. The gate is only open for one hour in three days. In Xu County, even if you have money, you can't buy food...

  The more grain prices rise, the big households who still have some grain and grass in their hands are more and more holding on to grain and grass, and are unwilling to put it into the market. Just like the stock market, the higher the price rises, the more people rush to buy it, and the higher the rise, the more reluctant to sell it, because everyone believes that it will rise tomorrow and continue to rise...

  As a result, the prices of all items in the entire market have almost turned over and soared upwards, and even ordinary dry wood for fire costs a thousand dollars! Under such a situation, the court officials who originally held their salaries discovered almost overnight that the salaries and money they received were worthless, and their lives were not as good as that of an ordinary farmer in the countryside. At least these farmers could go to nearby villages. They dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits in the forest, but they don't even know where to dig and pick wild fruits...

  What, is there rice grain in the salary?

   Don't think too much, in such a situation, who are the people who can receive the real rice? It's like the time when the price of the second brother in the later generations skyrocketed, but there are still a small number of areas that have been subsidized. As for the officials and people in other areas, hehe, just look happy...

  There is nothing fair or unfair in this, everything in the world is like this. Born in a different place, grew up in a different place, this is the biggest injustice, how could there be fairness?

   "The current situation...was your fault?" Guo Jia slowly opened a pod, and then threw the beans into his mouth.

  Xun Yu was silent for a while, and said: "Have you guessed it? Your Majesty is in a hurry to hold a celebration of foreign contributions...but the treasury has no money..."

   "So you gave His Majesty this bad idea?" Guo Jia said, and after listening for a while, he said, "Well, you didn't come forward to say it, who? Let me think about it, Da Sinong?"

   Xun Yu was silent.

"Guo Dan, Guo Yuanyi... this idiot..." Guo Jia laughed, "Should I still thank you? Look at the strategy you used, not only to keep His Majesty in the dark, but also to pretend to be Guo Yuanyi... When the incident happens, Your Majesty, hehe, then the last face of the Guo family will be wiped clean... Then I can take over the position of the Patriarch of the Guo family as a matter of course..."

  Guo family and Guo Tu followed Yuan Shao, and now that Yuan Shao has fallen, it is impossible for the Guo family here to follow Guo Tu's order, and Guo Dan is the family order recommended by the Guo family who is currently on Cao Cao's side. Guo Danxin became a chief minister, so he naturally wanted to do something to prove his ability, and he caught up with such a mess and was urged by the emperor Liu Xie again and again. Guo Dan thought it was good, he could give it a try, and stepped in.

First, they intentionally raised the price of goods, then secretly sold all kinds of materials in their hands, and finally lowered the prices of goods, and then used money to buy the materials back. After coming and going, the materials in hand did not decrease, but they could earn money. The price difference...

   To put it simply, it is similar to certain operations in the stock market in later generations.

   Will prices fall?

   Certainly, with the victory of Cao Cao, the autumn harvest is coming soon, and prices will definitely drop by a relatively large margin in the end, so Guo Dan certainly thinks that this plan has something to do.

Liu Xie doesn't understand economics either, he just generally knows that in this way, the materials in the public treasury will not decrease much, but a lot of money will be added, and then the money can be used to hold current celebrations and solve current problems , so I agree.

  Farmers at the bottom do not lose much in this plan. On the contrary, they may benefit, because wild vegetables and some coarse food that they usually cannot sell for money can now be sold for money...

  These people on the top floor can’t talk about any losses. They just dumped their supplies a bit, maybe a little bit of loss, but they earned more...

   So who is the loser?

  Hehe, just like the class that lost the most in the inflation of the later generations, it is natural that these people were bloodletted by knives.

   "No, there weren't many things in the public treasury..." Guo Jia looked up at Xun Yu again, "You put that in too? The Xin family? The Cui family? Or are they all there?"

   "There is no Xin family..." Xun Yu said.

   "That's the Cui family..." Guo Jia nodded, "The Cui family on the hussar side is also very powerful, I can't blame the Cui family here...hehe..."

  Xun Yu fell silent again.

   "But this matter..." Guo Jia raised his head, looked at the sky and said, "After all... alas... some hurt Tianhe..."

  This sky, of course, does not mean the sky above the head. The sky in nature doesn't care about these filthy things in the world. Even if human beings do it themselves and all perish, it's just a repeat of the dinosaurs. After thousands of years of gray, it will return to calm again.

   Therefore, this day naturally refers to Liu Xie.

   When the news of Cao Cao’s victory on the front line came, Liu Xie almost went crazy, forcing everyone to hold a celebration immediately…

  The reason is also very simple, anyone can figure it out.

   Therefore, under such circumstances, it is very difficult for Xun Yu to be caught in the middle. This strategy is actually a decision Xun Yu finally made. On the balance of Liu Xie and Cao Cao, he chose to favor Cao Cao. Or, at this moment, Xun Yu prefers Cao Cao more...

   "Your Majesty...Young and vigorous..." Xun Yu said softly, the voice was so small that even Guo Jia had difficulty listening, "... always going through some wind and rain..."

  Guo Jia shook his head and said, "This matter... If Your Majesty can't figure it out... Then His Majesty will definitely hate you in the end... If Your Majesty thinks it through... Hey, most likely I will still hate you...Why bother..."

   Xun Yu took a long breath, and then let it out slowly.

  Guo Jia laughed, patted Xun Yu on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, I'm still here... I can understand you, and I support you..."

   Xun Yu couldn't help but smiled, and there was some warmth in the helplessness in the smile.

"So...it's your fault..." Guo Jia pointed to the dried bean pods on the table, and stared, "It's because I understand you so well and support you, you actually just brought me Some dried bean pods? It’s fine if you don’t have any meat, but you need a pot of wine, right? A bucket? There’s always a jug, right? Huh?”

   Jia Geng repays the debt...

   First of all, let’s pay homage to all the book lovers in advance!

   Happy New Year~
