The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 23: When it comes to ruthlessness, it still depends on Cheng Yu

"My lord, you are absolutely right!"

After listening to what Ye Chen said, Cheng Yu nodded solemnly.

Ye Chen smiled coldly.

"These aristocratic families in Jiangdu County have good ideas."

"They colluded openly and closed all the grain stores they had."

"It caused panic among the people of Jiangdu County."

"But they are secretly selling food at high prices on the black market, and it doesn't stop them from making money."

"At the same time, it further arouses the anger in the hearts of the people."

"I guess they will turn the fire on me next."

"Then they will incite the people and stir up their hearts to drive me out of Jiangdu County completely."

"It's hard for them. It seems they really put a lot of thought into dealing with me."

at this time.

If there were people from aristocratic families present, they would hear what Ye Chen said.

It will definitely surprise you.

That’s what they thought and that’s what they did.

but.

Everything they do and think, all their tricks and calculations.

Ye Chen saw through them all at a glance.

"Lord!"

"I have an idea!"

"Since these Jiangdu County families have taken the initiative to attack us."

"They can escape, but their mansion and land cannot."

"Why don't we just sell all their property?"

"It's also a way to teach them a lesson."

Ye Chen shook his head slowly.

"I'm afraid it won't do much."

Now in the eyes of these aristocratic families.

As long as the plans develop as they planned.

Sooner or later, Ye Chen will leave Jiangdu County.

Even if he sold the property of these families now.

Wait until they return to Jiangdu County.

With their power, they can still take it back.

Furthermore.

Since they have already run away.

It was specified that all core assets were transferred away.

Selling some of their land is at most a way to vent their anger.

It will not cause any serious damage to these noble families.

and.

The buyer is not a fool.

It is possible that they would consider what to do after these noble families return.

and so.

Even if Ye Chen wanted to sell it, it would be a question whether he could find a buyer.

"correct!"

"My lord, I got some information from the black market."

"Now in Jiangyin County, various places have begun to stockpile grain."

"It looks like Jiangyin County is planning to mobilize troops after the New Year!"

"Now, food prices in other counties in the group are also rising."

"It's just that the price in Jiangdu County has risen the most."

"My lord, in my opinion, there may be major changes after the new year!"

Cheng Yu said worriedly.

Others don't know what's going on.

Ye Chen knew it clearly.

After the new year, I'm afraid the twelve princes will unite to attack Dong Zhuo.

As food and fodder must be sent before troops move out, naturally, all places began to store food.

It is no surprise that food prices have skyrocketed.

But the princes can afford to buy food.

350 dan of grain.

How can ordinary people afford this price?

Wait until the fight really starts.

I guess food prices will continue to rise in the future.

By then, I’m afraid the price will rise to a sky-high level.

and so.

Cheng Yucai's face was filled with sorrow.

presumably.

He saw this clearly too.

"It doesn't matter!"

"Let's do our job."

"Don't worry about other things for now."

"Our most important task right now is this."

"Bring down the prices in Jiangdu County and stabilize the people's hearts in Jiangdu County."

The future is too far away.

Ye Chen can only grasp what is in front of him.

Besides, what does the twelve princes’ attack on Dong Zhuo have to do with him?

He has no intention of getting involved at the moment.

Besides, he, a rebel from the Yellow Turban Army, could not get involved.

I'm afraid he will go to the meeting place of the twelve princes.

These bigwigs of the Three Kingdoms did not go to fight Dong Zhuo, but instead tried to kill themselves first.

Cheng Yu saw that Ye Chen still looked calm and composed.

He felt much more at ease. After hearing what Ye Chen had just said, he knew that his lord was sure of bringing down the price of grain.

The method to harvest the grain is very simple.

All you need is to have enough food in your hands.

Think of this.

Cheng Yu asked tentatively.

"May I ask, lord, how much food do you have at hand?"

There are some things he must figure out.

Only by knowing Ye Chen's background clearly can he help plan for the future.

Now, Cheng Yu is one of us after all.

Ye Chen was not on guard.

Smile lightly.

"We can provide food at the moment."

"So, it can feed and drink 50,000 soldiers for ten years!"

"What??"

"Five, fifty thousand!"

"Ten, ten years!"

Hear Ye Chen report the number.

Cheng Yu was completely numb.

Originally, I wanted to find out the details of my master.

Only by exploring it can you understand clearly.

My lord, your depth is unfathomable.

No wonder the lord provides support to the Yellow Turban Army every day, allowing them to eat all kinds of food as if it were free.

An army of 50,000, with ten years of food and drink!
What a terrifying reserve this is.

No wonder the lord chose to become a rebel in the Yellow Turban Army?
It was not a loss for Li Gang to die at the hands of his lord.

If he had such food reserves, Cheng Yu felt that he would also rebel.

in fact.

To feed and clothe an army of 50,000 men for ten years.

This is still Ye Chen's conservative statement.

One hundred thousand servings of corn porridge, white flour buns, and pickled mustard tubers every day.

There are also 100,000 servings of臊子面, braised chicken legs, and braised eggs.

Refresh at midnight every day.

This means that Ye Chen can prepare 200,000 meals every day.

He could feed an army of 200,000 for a lifetime.

In addition, the reputation mall will be upgraded in the future to reward more things.

It is not impossible to feed an army of 500,000.

He was afraid to reveal these numbers.

Cheng Yu was scared to death.

I was being conservative on purpose.

after all.

There are not enough talented people under me to begin with.

This would scare another person to death.

He is at a loss.

"In that case, my lord, I have a plan for you!"

"It can break the family's dilemma."

Cheng Yu paused for a long time.

I just came out of the shock.

Then a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he spoke to Ye Chen in a low voice.

Ye Chen didn't know why, but as soon as he heard Cheng Yu talking, he felt the temperature in the room suddenly dropped by several degrees, and the whole room was chilly.

"Sir, please speak directly."

Ye Chen took a sip of tea and pretended to listen.

in fact.

For the current Three Kingdoms characters.

Ye Chenzhen didn't dare to underestimate him at all.

Although I have read many novels in my previous life, the supporting characters in them were all like fools.

But novels are novels, and reality is reality.

Still the same sentence.

There are no fools in the Three Kingdoms.

Since Cheng Yu has a solution, let's listen to him first.

What if it's better than what he came up with?

Here.

Cheng Yu did not say anything either. He picked up the bamboo slips on the desk and wrote with divine strokes.

Not a moment.

Cheng Yu respectfully presented the ideas and strategies written on the bamboo slips to Ye Chen.

"This……"

See the contents on the bamboo slips.

Ye Chen took a breath of cold air.

really.

In terms of cruelty, you, Cheng Yu, are the worst.

No wonder in the original history.

Cheng Yu's boss Cao Cao always asked for advice.

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Boss Cao just nodded and said okay, but he didn't need it.

Cao Cao, a great hero of his time.

I guess he was afraid that if he adopted Cheng Yu's strategy, he would give birth to a son without an anus.

Ye Chen is a traitor himself, why would he care so much?

To deal with aristocratic families or something.

How can we teach them to behave if we are not ruthless?

then.

Ye Chen waved his pen and decided to do it according to Cheng Yu's suggestion!
