Chapter 481 Noisy Autumn

The imperial court came to Nanyang without a single soldier, and immediately bordered on the three major forces of Liu Biao, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.Sun Jian led the subsequent increase of [-] troops and stationed in Wancheng, and the subsequent various supplies were also continuously transported with the cavalry.

Everything seems to be telling the world that the imperial court is about to recover the Kanto region.

Cao Cao's attitude towards this is ambiguous. The key is that what he needs to face now is the Taishan bandits entrenched in Mount Tai.And Yuan Shao was also annoyed by Gongsun Zan and the Heishan bandits.Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, is a good old man. The court can be in charge, and it doesn't matter if other people are in charge. He only guards his own one-acre land.

On the contrary, Wang Kuang seemed a lot more embarrassed. Ma Chao and Sun Ce were stationed in Hedong County and Henan Yin respectively, showing the intention to attack Hanoi County at any time. He did have Lu Bu under his command, but this Lu Bu had become more and more arrogant recently.

What's more, Zhang Ji's nephew, Zhang Xiu, has been clamoring to enter Chang'an. Wang Kuang no longer wants to resist, and Lu Bu's existence is becoming more and more burdensome.

Perhaps in order to digest the existing territory, the Nanyue Kingdom did not make any new moves.Insufficient food is a common problem for all forces. Without food, it is impossible to fight a war, and if you have money, you cannot buy food.

Agricultural reform or not, the effect will soon be reflected.Li Ming still has a lot of grain in storage, but grain shortages have already begun in other places. Within the sphere of influence of the imperial court, the price of grain has risen to ten times the market price, while in Youzhou it is twenty times. Yuzhou is good. Some are also five times the market price.

Only in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, grain prices are relatively stable, and even in Qingzhou, grain prices have tripled.Only Yangzhou can sell grain at a fair price, and the key is that the Changping warehouse has played an effective role.

Li Ming even adopted an emergency mechanism to impose high taxes on all purchases of private grain. At the same time, the common people who bought grain from Changping warehouses had to adopt a real-name system and limit the number of purchases. This stabilized the crazy purchase market.

Two merchants were punished for inciting the common people to buy food at a cheap price. They were not allowed to do business for three years, and they had to pay heavy fines at the same time.These two merchants encouraged the people to buy grain at a low price, and then purchased it at 150% of the price, and finally shipped it to Yuzhou or Guanzhong area, and sold it at five times and ten times the price. It was really crazy to make money.

In the blink of an eye, it was July and August, and after the summer, the war in the whole country began to suspend.No one wants to fight under the scorching sun, especially wearing armor.The north is fine, but the south can cause heat stroke.

In the midsummer, Li Ming finally took Dong Heng as his concubine. The dowry had already been collected, and it was inappropriate to throw aside another big girl.In other words, if Li Ming and Diao Chan had a chance encounter, then it can be said that there is no emotional factor in it with Dong Heng.

Only on the night of the bridal chamber, when Dong Heng became a woman, hugged Li Ming with tears in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Now, you can no longer dislike him... Is he really so ugly? You can't wait to leave immediately, and you don't want to see others?"

Li Ming couldn't tell because Dong Zhuo proposed marriage at the beginning, and he thought that the other party was the same as Dong Zhuo.Who would have thought that Dong Heng actually looked more like her mother, not delicate and cute, but handsome, healthy and lively.

Anyway, they are all concubines. Li Ming would not refuse if he knew what she looked like.Then again, I seem to be getting used to this world more and more recently.In the past, love was all about feelings, but now as long as the other party is good and the marriage is meaningful.

Perhaps, as others have said in later generations, men often use multiple female partners to improve their self-esteem and self-confidence.And from the point of view of genetics, males all have genes that are eager to leave offspring.

After all, after 5000 years, most of the men in China will face the fate of enlisting in the army, and their average life expectancy is not long, so hoping to leave descendants as soon as possible in their lifetime, is it a form of crisis? !
Time passed little by little, and the golden autumn came, and a large amount of grain began to be harvested.According to the agreement, the agriculture in Kuaiji County and Wu County no longer needs to pay any taxes, but only needs to give priority to the government when selling grain.

The four counties of Yuzhang, Changsha, Danyang, and Luling do not enjoy this treatment for the time being, and the aristocratic families in the four counties are also sensible and have not made any noise.

After the agricultural reform, the grain output has indeed increased a lot, especially when the craftsmen built the Quyuanli according to Li Ming's description, and at the same time a large number of buffaloes began to be put into it, farming became a lot easier.

A large amount of grain entered the Changping warehouse again, and at the same time, the extra old grain began to be sent to the Guanzhong area for sale.There is always a shortage of grain over there, and now the price of grain has dropped from ten times to five times at most. Even so, selling grain to Guanzhong is still a good deal.Even if it is old grain, as long as there is no problem with the quality, it can be sold at a good price.

Autumn is also the season of war.The imperial court once again issued an edict, stating that it will go south to conquer the South Vietnamese Kingdom from now on.The key point is that this time it was the emperor's personal expedition, and Liu Ting went to the battlefield in person. Of course, he also appointed Huang Fusong as the deputy commander, as the actual commander.At the same time, he called on the heroes of the world to jointly crusade against South Vietnam.

"Do you want me to go south? What if the other side takes the opportunity to attack Hanoi County?" Lu Bu looked at Wang Kuang, who was called over by Wang Kuang today, but unexpectedly asked him to lead troops south to join the crusade.

"You and I are still Hanchens. It is reasonable to help the court to fight against the non-chens. As for the defense here, let Zhang Xiu be in charge!" Wang Kuang said slowly.

"That's good! I heard that the leader of Nanyue Kingdom is a dragon snake, a monster-level existence. I want to see if I can kill the dragon!" Lu Bu was obviously also very interested.

At the same time, in Beihai County, Qingzhou, Kong Rong looked at the three people in front of him. They were the three Taoyuan brothers.Originally, Liu Bei was appointed by Gongsun Zan as Pingyuan Guard, but Yuan Shao hated him, so he sent troops to attack.With only five thousand soldiers under Liu Bei's command, how can he deal with Yuan Shao's army?Besides, Pingyuan County has no danger to defend!
It just happened that the Taishan bandits ransacked the place, and this time they ransacked Qingzhou. The prefect of Beihai asked the surrounding prefects for help.Seeing that Yuan Shao's army was about to arrive, Liu Bei immediately sent his army south to support him, and now he was temporarily entrusted to Kong Rong's sect.

The governor of Qingzhou, since Gong Jing, has always been vacant.Just like the governor of Bingzhou, there is still a vacancy. The counties are independent and do not belong to each other.

What Kong Rong meant was that he planned to recommend Liu Bei as the governor of Qingzhou, but he didn't expect that something happened in Nanyue Kingdom.

I heard that both Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan stopped for the time being, and each took their troops south to Huimeng in Nanyang County. In addition, Cao Cao also sent Xiahou Dun and a young general named Li Jin to go south together.Except for Yuan Shu's lack of action, everyone participated. Qingzhou is not good, but Kong Rong certainly doesn't want to take risks.

"I, Liu Bei, as a clan member of the great Han family, how can I ignore things..." Liu Bei sighed, and kept using the name of the clan clan of the Han family. After all, he had to pay off the debt.Excluding that Liu Yu needed to resist Xianbei and Wuhuan and couldn't go south, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, and even Liu Yao all sent people to join them. Since Liu Bei was elected by Kong Rong as the governor of Qingzhou, how could he sit idly by?
