Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 821
Shanghe Port.

In the meeting room, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Liu Bei, Yi Ji, Chen Gong, Yuan Yin, Zhang Song and others all looked disheartened and glared at Xu You.

Xu You laughed and bowed to each other, "Everyone, everyone, this thing was all done by Guo Tu's bastard, it was completely his own behavior, and it had nothing to do with my master and me. Fortunately, everyone is fine. Tu has been severely punished, and there are a lot of adults."

Xu You became more righteous, and said to Jia Xu and Pang Tong: "My lord is willing to sell food to the prime minister at the same price as you. Now, the most important thing is to save the suffering people, don't you think so?"

Old Jia Xu and Pang Tong looked at each other. They were arrested for a day, and they were imprisoned for the first time in their life. They were really angry.According to their intentions, they should make a fuss about whatever they say.However, at this moment, the major event of their lord is the most important thing, and saving the people in the Northland is the most important thing.

"That being the case, let's start trading right away." Old Jia Xu said as he flicked the dust off his sleeves.

Thus, the transaction began.

This transaction is not simple, it involves the transportation of millions of catties of herbs and tens of millions of grains.

Jia Xu and Pang Tong first formulated the exchange rules with the representatives of the princes, and then Jia Xu stayed as a representative, and Pang Tong returned to Yedu to report the letter without stopping.

Yedu, the chamber of the prime minister's official office.

Qin Feng and other military advisers listened to Pang Tong's report.

"Liu Zhang has 15 catties of herbs, Liu Biao has [-] catties, and Liu Bei has [-] catties."

"Lü Bu has 15 catties, Yuan Shu has [-] catties, and Yuan Shao has [-] catties."

"Basically, Liu Bei can not be counted. The symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning. However, Liu Bei didn't ask for money, and it was given for nothing. In order to open the breakthrough of the princes, he had to ask for it."

"In this way, the princes from all walks of life will have 60 catties. In addition, the 20 catties from Sun Ce in Jiangdong can reach Qin Feng through the territory of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, plus the 20 catties from Ma Teng and Cao Cao earlier."

"The amount of 100 million catties is enough."

Pang Tong took a breath.

"This fraud will definitely exploit and steal people's hearts." Qin Feng frowned.

Xun Yu came out of the class and said: "My lord, since the plague, a complete isolation system has been implemented. Although the government treasury is full of money, the food expenditure is huge. Today, the 6000 million catties of food required for the transaction cannot be paid..."

Sun Ce, Qin Feng's great apprentice, sent 20 catties for free, and there was no need to pay for this part.While Ma Teng paid the same price, Cao Cao only doubled the price, but he also paid more than [-] grain.

Qin Feng's ten catties of grain cost almost one catty of medicinal materials, and the princes raised the price of medicine by twenty times, and reduced the price by ten times.If you want to buy 60 catties of medicinal materials in the hands of the princes, you need to pay 6000 million catties of grain.

6000 million catties of grain, at its peak, Qin Feng could not say that he could not get it out.But under his rule, the quarantine system was implemented due to the plague outbreak, and it was idle for two months.In other words, he has been in charge of eating and drinking for tens of millions of people for two months.Even if this guy is a later life, he can't stand it.

The military advisers were worried, although the princes lowered the price and agreed to trade medicinal materials.But still fell into the tricks of the princes.It is clear that the princes want to empty the grain and grass reserves under Qin Feng's rule.As a result, Qin Feng's strength was greatly reduced, and he would not be able to recover in at least three to five years.

More importantly, if there is a famine, Qin Feng will not be able to survive.South, no one will pass up such an opportunity.Qin Feng can't even get food here, and he can't win the war at all.

Qin Feng understood this matter, and he had discussed it with the military advisers countless times, "The government treasury is in a huge deficit, it seems that we can only raise food from the people."

In other words, all the surplus grain of the people's households must be exchanged.

The matter was settled in this way, Qin Feng ordered the Military Aircraft Department to mobilize the treasury's grain and grass, and start the exchange of medicinal materials, while starting the overall treatment work.On the other hand, Qin Feng ordered the Military Aircraft Department to purchase grain from the private sector.

However, the situation is not going well. During a catastrophe, food is more important than money.Hearing that even the rations are not enough, the people are not willing to sell the food for the family's survival to the government.

Qin Feng mobilized officials at all levels to do ideological work in the homes of ordinary people, especially those whose families did not get sick. Qin Feng also went down to the front line in person.

He issued a notice that the quarantine could be lifted only after the plague was cured with medicinal materials, and the people could come out to work and farm.Only then can the autumn harvest be guaranteed, and there will be food to eat after the autumn harvest.

When the plague broke out in Qin Feng's side, the summer grain had already been sown, and now it was about to harvest in autumn.When the people remembered that there were still crops in the fields, their minds relaxed a little.

Qin Feng also made a promise that he would raise the interest rate and return the grain.The people would not have believed it if someone else had given the assurance.At this moment, Qin Feng's prestige played a huge role, and the people took out all the food.

In fact, Qin Feng is deceiving in good faith. The plague has lasted for more than two months, and the fields have been left unattended. The modernized farming of later generations dare not ignore the crops for two months. Now the weeds in the fields are stronger than the grain, and the large-scale production reduction has already happened. That's for sure.

Xu Shu was worried, "My lord, if we raise grain and grass like this, we will not be able to pay the grain owed to the people after the autumn harvest. The farmers will not be able to harvest enough grain for the winter, and the people in the city will not be able to buy any grain at all. Famine will definitely happen."

If famine occurs, Qin Feng's rule will be shaken, the people will riot, and the princes will stare at him, which will cause a series of problems.

However, now Qin Feng has no other choice, he can't care so much now, "Save your life first, then you can protect your stomach. If you lose your life, you will lose your stomach."

……

On August 197, [-] AD, after half a month of negotiations, Qin Feng's plan to acquire medicinal materials was a success.

In fact, no time was wasted in the past half month. In the past half month, the herbal medicines from various princes arrived at the border area between Yuan Shao and Qin Feng one after another.The land of Shu is far away, so it was not possible to arrive in time, but it is absolutely possible to enter Qinfeng's Sili area to arrive, and the time will not be too late.

And in Jingzhou, Liu Biao sent people to arrest Huang Zu and gave it to Sun Ce.He also told Sun Ce that Jingzhou would do his best to help his master cure the plague.Pang Tong told Yiji that his strategy was successful, and Sun Ce's hatred for Huang Zu was slightly reduced. He thought in his heart to help Master tide over the difficulties, and continued to attack Jingzhou, so Jingzhou would not produce medicinal materials.

Therefore, Sun Ce resisted all opinions and withdrew his troops from Jiangxia.Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu and the others sighed, and felt grateful for Sun Ce's filial piety.

Ever since, the largest transportation in China's history kicked off.

Under Qin Feng's rule, treasuries in various places were opened up, and truckloads of grain and grass were concentrated at the border of the Yellow River in Pingyuan County.

Huge transportation, millions of grains are traded every day, and truckloads of medicinal materials are brought back.

Shanghe Port Trading Center.

Yuan Shu's representative, Yuan Yin, was overjoyed, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... three thousand, five ninety six...."

The other representatives rolled their eyes enviously, and expressed their disdain for Yuan Yin's number of cars by car.

Xu You looked at the huge fleet with a deep draft on the river, and sneered in his heart, "Qin Zijin, you will have no food right now. If you don't cause famine and riots during the winter, I will cut off my own head. It is easy to destroy your hungry people and hungry soldiers."

Although the representatives from all walks of life disdain Yuan Yin's counting, but when it is their turn, they are also doing the counting.It was really counting the food until the hands were cramped and the mouth was numb, and everyone was full of joy.This amount of food is enough to save them from struggling for three to five years.In such a troubled world, it is not easy to fight for three to five years, which can directly determine success or failure.

Liu Bei expressed his envy.

On the other hand, Yuzhou, Xuchang.

Cao Cao sullenly asked, "Qin Zijin has already started trading?"

"Yes. Qin Zijin has really started trading. This time, the transaction will clear all the food from the government and the people under his rule. I heard that in order to collect enough food from the people, Qin Feng sent a note to the people, saying that he would Raise interest rate and return." Guo Jia sighed again after finishing speaking, in fact, he also thought about Qin Feng at the beginning, he thought that Qin Feng would definitely give up the treatment of some patients, so that he could leave some food reserves for the upcoming war .

Unexpectedly, Qin Feng actually paid the full price.

Cheng Yu said: "Qin Feng can't raise the interest rate and return it. After his people famine, there will definitely be riots. And the food that Qin Feng owes will become a serious fuse. My lord, this is an opportunity, we must rush to start before Yuan Shao .”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and said, "Immediately send an order, the three armies are in a state of combat readiness, and are ready to cross the river and enter Jizhou at any time. On the first line of Guandu, prepare to attack Hulao Pass..."

Although Cao Cao let Qin Feng go for the sake of the people in the transaction, he only wanted to double the price of the medicinal materials.But when the perfect opportunity to attack Qin Feng comes, he will never be soft-hearted.

On the other hand, Qingzhou, Beihai.

Xu You excitedly said: "My lord,
Yuan Shao's head was big, and he issued an order excitedly, "The food and supplies we have received will immediately start recruiting new troops for training, and all departments will enter a state of combat readiness. After Qin Zi enters there, famine and riots will definitely break out after the autumn harvest. When the time comes, we will cross the river and counterattack Jizhou."

On the other hand, Yongliang Chang'an.

Han Sui came to look for Ma Teng and said, "If this continues, Qin Feng will soon collapse..."

"That's not good." Ma Teng hesitated to attack Qin Feng, after all, Qin Feng has always taken care of him and his son.

Han Sui said meaningfully: "If the general doesn't take it, others will take it. If Cao Cao goes ahead, the general will lose the best chance to enter the Central Plains."

So far, the princes of all walks of life are already gearing up. For Qin Feng, although he successfully traded enough medicinal materials to treat the plague, he has already walked to the edge of the cliff, and the crisis is more serious.
