The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 278 I never thought of scraping the money of the poor!

Xuzhou, Donghai County.

Before playing Mount Tai, only Tian Feng and Cui Yan were left in Xuzhou to watch the house.

With the abilities of the two of them, as long as the Qingzhou Yellow Turban does not make a big attack, it is more than enough to handle the government affairs of the entire Xuzhou.

Tian Feng was in charge of government affairs, and Cui Yan was in charge of government affairs.

Tian Feng is upright, Cui Yan is upright, the two complement each other perfectly.

It's just that recently Tian Feng has put most of his energy on farming and transporting grain and grass for Mount Tai, which makes all government affairs fall on Cui Yan alone.

Cui Yan was so exhausted that he had to send someone to find Tian Feng who was busy in the fields all day.

But Tian Feng didn't come back, he just sent a young man over, saying that he could help Cui Yan handle political affairs.

He said he was young, but he looked like he was 26 or seven years old.

His surname is Chen, his first name is Deng, and his character is Yuanlong. He was born in the Chen family of Xiapi.

As far as Chen Deng is concerned, he can be regarded as a genius in this period.

If it weren't for the Xiapi Chen family, who was born in the most wealthy family in Xuzhou, Lin Chao would have stretched out his hands to make money... solicited.

According to Lin Chao's original concept, after two years, Liu Bei's rule in Xuzhou was stabilized, and then he would appoint the children of these aristocratic families.

Unexpectedly, when Tian Feng was farming in the East China Sea, he happened to meet Chen Deng, who was then the magistrate of Dongyang County. Once the two talked, Tian Feng immediately realized that this person should not be underestimated.

At the same time, he recalled the pleasant experience when he was recruited by Lin Chao...

How can this kind of treatment be enjoyed by one person alone.

Furthermore, this Chen Yuanlong is a rare talent in this world, he should be used by the lord, if Lin Zichu was here, he would definitely think so.

So, Chen Deng was fooled into coming to Tan County to help Cui Yan handle political affairs.

Cui Yan didn't think much of it at first, but after getting along with him for two days, he found that this little brother is not ordinary. Not only is his talent as good as his own, but he also has his own unique views on government affairs and laws, and he was immediately surprised.

He immediately wrote a letter to Lin Chao, saying that he had discovered a genius and could entrust him with important tasks.

At that time, Lin Chao was fighting in Jizhou, and he only read the letter when he returned to Mount Tai. Before he could reply to the letter, Liu Bei vomited blood and a series of things happened.

Therefore, when Lin Chao returned to Xuzhou on this trip, he also wanted to meet Chen Deng.

You must know that in the original history, Chen Deng was an extremely important figure to Liu Bei.

At that time, Tao Qian died and handed Xuzhou over to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei felt that his foundation was not stable and dared not accept it. In the end, the Xuzhou clan headed by Chen Deng stepped forward and helped Liu Bei secure the position of Xuzhou Mu.

Chen Deng said: "Today, I want to make the king ride a hundred thousand horses in one step. At the top, I can help the people and become the cause of the five hegemons. At the bottom, I can cut land and guard the territory, and write merits in bamboo and silk."If the envoy did not listen to his promise, he would not have dared to listen to the envoy.

Chen Deng's words sounded deafening. Between the words, he was full of love for Liu Bei!
However, Tao Qian died at that time, and Xuzhou was surrounded by wolves, who were in danger of being overthrown at any time. It was precisely because of this that Liu Bei was unwilling to take over Xuzhou.

Furthermore, Chen Deng may have sincerely helped Liu Bei, but the Xuzhou clan would not think so. They wanted to pull Liu Bei to top the vat, because at that time Liu Bei had few soldiers and could better control them.

Later, after Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou, Chen Deng, like Xun Yu, was forced by his family position and did not run away with Liu Bei, but took refuge in Cao Cao.

Even so, when Chen Deng later commented on himself, he also said: Heroes are outstanding, those who have the strategy of kings and overlords, I respect Liu Xuande the most.

When Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, when he heard Xu Si say bad things about Chen Deng, he immediately became furious, and taunted Xu Si severely in front of Liu Biao.

Therefore, Liu Bei and Chen Deng are really true love.

It's a pity that Cao Cao beat the mandarin ducks with a stick, which made the two of them separate from each other.

If Chen Deng was willing to abandon his family business and run away with Liu Bei, his status in Ji Han would definitely be higher than that of Fazheng and Pang Tong.

On this day, Chen Deng, who had been busy all day, got off duty and returned home. Hungry, he ordered his servants to make two plates of fish cakes and a jug of chilled wine.

The so-called sashimi is actually sashimi.

Chen Deng has no other hobbies, but good seafood.

He likes to eat anything that swims in the water!
It's so vigorous!
When the fish cakes were served, Chen Deng looked at the crystal clear fish fillets, held back his saliva, took a sip of the wine, and then picked up a piece of fish cakes with chopsticks, chewed them slowly in his mouth, full of The appearance of enjoying the face.

hiss!
Simply delicious!
Accompanied by this thing, my wish is enough!

Chen Deng, whose desire was satisfied, even closed his eyes, and couldn't help letting out a sigh.

But before he could enjoy it for a while, Tian Feng and Cui Yan came hand in hand.

After half a year in the field, Tian Feng did everything by himself, and his whole body was much tanned, but he looked more energetic.

In contrast, Cui Yan was exhausted all day, but he was much haggard.

Chen Deng has always regarded eating fish sticks as the most enjoyable thing in his life, and he does not allow anyone to disturb him, but he has nothing to do with these two people, he can only stand up quickly, cup his hands and say: "I have seen Tian Duwei, Cui Shi! "

Tian Feng waved his hand and said, "Yuanlong doesn't need to be too polite."

Cui Yan, on the other hand, looked at the sashimi on Chen Deng's table, and immediately frowned.

"Cui Zong, would you like some, this food is very delicious!"

Chen Deng is also a generous person. Seeing that Cui Yan noticed the fish, he immediately said warmly.

But Cui Yan was from Qinghe, Jizhou. Although he had heard of this way of eating, he still couldn't accept it, so he waved his hand and said, "Yuanlong kindly, I accept it, this thing...is not blessed to accept it."

Cut, you don't like such a delicious thing, what a reckless waste!
Chen Deng complained in his heart, but asked with a smile on his face: "You two are here, the humble house is full of luxuriant plants, please take your seat."

"No need." Tian Feng shook his head and said, "Yuanlong, come with us."

"Forehead……"

Chen Deng looked at the sky, it was almost dusk, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Captain Tian, ​​where are you going?"

Cui Yan explained: "The governor of Xuzhou came back from Lin Zichu and said he has something important to discuss. The two of us happened to stop by and call you to go with us."

Of course, Chen Deng had heard about Lin Chao's name, and even had a long-standing acquaintance with him.

Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said, "Both of you wait for a while, let Rong change his clothes, and then go to see Lin Changshi."

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "No need, Zichu is not a person who cares about politeness, so let's go."

"only!"

Chen Deng clapped his hands in response.

The three of them arrived at the administrative office all the way, and they saw Lin Chao sitting where Cui Yan usually sat, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Due to time constraints, it only took Lin Chao two days to rush from Fenggao to Tanxian County.With his physique, he was naturally extremely tired.

Next to them, Zhao Yun and Lu Qian sat at the bottom, one on the left and the other on the right.

The three came in and bowed to Lin Chao.

Only then did Lin Chao open his eyes, and said, "You don't need to be too polite, please take your seat. Zilong, tell the three of you about this matter."

Zhao Yun nodded and recounted what happened in Taishan County to the three of them.

After listening, Tian Feng's reaction was the most intense. He slammed the table and said loudly: "Thieves Dong dared to poison the emperor, damn it!"

Cui Yan's energy-raising skills are obviously better than Tian Feng's. Although his face is angry, he finally restrained himself from making a sound.

As for Chen Deng, he was not qualified to express his opinion with all the big shots around.

Cui Yan asked, "Junior brother, my lord became ill due to anger. At this time, Taishan's people's hearts are fluctuating. You should take charge of the overall situation. Why did you come back to Xuzhou?"

"I can't do it if I don't come." Lin Chao smiled wryly, "When Duke Xuande wakes up, he will send out all Xuzhou's soldiers to attack Luoyang and kill Dong thief."

"No, this is absolutely impossible!"

Sure enough, as Lin Chao expected, Tian Feng immediately yelled.

"It has been more than four months since the army was raised. Now there is no food in the treasury of Xuzhou. How can we enter the army? Besides, all the troops in Xuzhou will be raised! At least after the autumn harvest, the grain in the treasury can be used by [-] troops."

Cui Yan also shook his head, and sighed: "In the battle of Mount Tai, although we in Xuzhou had a lot more soldiers available, we have not made any progress in terms of logistics. It is really difficult to support another big battle."

Lin Chao smiled wryly and said: "How can I not know about the difficulties in food and grass, otherwise I wouldn't have come here in person."

Tian Feng didn't save Lin Chao face at all, and loudly reprimanded: "Even if you, Lin Zichu, come here in person, what's the use? Can you still conjure food out of thin air? Without food and grass, rushing into troops is tantamount to seeking death !
Lin Zichu, as a long history, you are also accompanying me, why don't you persuade the lord? "

Lin Chao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said, "Yuan Hao, who do you think I am, Lin Zichu?"

By implication, do you really think I didn't persuade you?

But... I can't persuade it!
Zhao Yun explained from the side: "Mr. Tian, ​​after my lord woke up, I didn't discuss with anyone. I only let the supervising army take charge of the matter of raising troops. I tried to persuade, but there was no chance."

"That won't work either. My lord has been through battles for a long time, so it's impossible not to know how important food and grass are to a war. Why..."

Having said that, Tian Feng was silent.

Cui Yan could see it clearly, and said, "Yuan Hao, my lord is a relative of the Han family. He has received the state's favor. Hearing that the emperor was killed by Dong thief, it is reasonable to raise troops."

Tian Feng naturally understands this truth and quite agrees with it, but without food, how can we fight this battle?
The benefits of raising troops to challenge Dong are obvious, and Tian Feng agrees with both hands.But food is the foundation of war, without it, everything else is empty talk!
Lin Chao asked, "Yuan Hao, how much grain is there in the treasury?"

At this time, Tian Feng didn't need to hide anymore, and said: "In the treasury, there are only less than 30 stones of grain and grain left, which is far from enough for the army to go out."

For [-] soldiers, at least [-] shi of food and grass will be consumed in a month.

If Xuzhou's elites come out, at least 20 shi will be supported by grain and grass a month.

Naturally, the fight for Dong cannot be completed in a month, at least half a year, which requires 120 million shi of grain.

The difference between 30 and 120 million is more than 90!
However, before Lin Chao came, he had already made up his mind. As for how much he could raise, it would depend on the situation.

Lin Chao opened his mouth and said, "Yuan Hao, I have a bad plan, I want to tell Yuan Hao to see if it works, how about it?"

Hearing Lin Chao's words, Tian Feng immediately became vigilant, and asked: "Lin Zichu, you don't mean to increase taxes and exploit the people, right? A certain will never allow you to do such a thing!
The strategy of garrisoning the fields will be effective in autumn this year, if the tax is increased at this time, the garrison fields will be ruined!"

Compared with a war, a proportional division of farmland is the plan for long-term peace and stability. Tian Feng does not allow anyone to destroy it!
Tian Yuanhao, what do you mean, when did you say you were going to exploit the common people?
In your heart, is a certain person so unbearable?
I never thought of scraping the money of the poor!
