The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 133 Famine
Snoring!
Xiahou Dun made a loud noise while eating noodles.

After eating Dongfang Shengnong's noodles, Xiahou Dun wiped his mouth and said seriously, "There's a famine."

"Is there no food in the government's granary?" Dongfang Sheng asked curiously. In his impression, it seems that the government has had emergency granaries in all dynasties.

"No." Xiahou Dun frowned and said, "My lord, when he first came to Yanzhou, Mao Jie once said that 'the public family has no old reserves'. Now a stone of grain needs 50 yuan. Justice intends to release some of the newly recruited soldiers to lighten the burden."

Dongfang Sheng knew that one stone was about 120 kilograms, or 50 catties, in later generations. Based on the calculation of [-] yuan per stone of rice, then a city of rice would cost more than four thousand yuan.

You must know that in peacetime, the price of food was only 100 yuan, even before the famine, it was only more than [-] yuan, and the price of [-] yuan has increased by forty times.

Dongfang Sheng thinks that he is not a saint and can't be a superman wearing underwear, but he still can't bear the upcoming tragedy in the world.

The government has no food reserves, and of course it can't open warehouses for disaster relief. Xiahou Dun originally said this in the mood of chatting with Dongfang Sheng, and he didn't expect Dongfang Sheng to do anything, of course he didn't think Dongfang Sheng would do anything.

"I want to see my lord."

Dongfang Sheng suddenly felt that he had become more meaningful. Dongfang Sheng shuddered when he thought about the situation of changing his son to eat and selling his wife and son during the famine.

Led by the bewildered Xiahou Dun, Dongfang Sheng soon met Cao Cao.

"My lord, there is a huge opportunity in front of me right now. If my lord grasps it properly, I'm afraid it will have a miraculous effect." Dongfang Sheng straightened his thoughts and said.

"Oh, let's hear it." Cao Cao put down the map in his hand and said.

"If you help the victims, you will win the hearts of the people, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world!" Dongfang Sheng said eloquently.

Cao Cao originally wanted to interrupt Dongfang Sheng when he said that he was helping the victims, but when he heard that those who won the hearts of the people won the world, his brows eased and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Although I have a heart, I don't have any food. What can I do?" Cao Cao asked helplessly.

Although Dongfang Sheng said that the prospect is very attractive, but Cao Cao has no food in his hands, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.

"As long as my lord allocates the group of recruits to me and gives me some food and grass, I can take them back to get something to eat. This will ensure that there will be no cannibalism in Dong'e County." Dongfang Sheng vowed Said. "Of course the prestige of the lord will also be improved, and there will be a large number of capable people and strangers who will come to join the lord because of the lord's kindness."

"Okay, people can allocate it to you, but what about the rations..." Cao Cao said with some embarrassment: "Tenglong, you still have to figure out your own way, and the rations are not much."

"Thank you, my lord." Dongfang Sheng also knew that there was a shortage of food, but it would be great if Cao Cao could send troops to him. He didn't expect to be able to get food.

"Haha, General Fenwu speaks loudly!" An extremely discordant voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Dongfang Sheng saw a somewhat familiar figure coming in from outside the door. This person looked like a talented person with a dignified appearance.

"My lord." The man saluted Cao Cao as soon as he entered the door: "Just now I heard that General Fenwu is going to take people to find food for the people of Dong'e County. Although I admire it, I have some doubts. General Fenwu Could it be talking big?"

"How can Tenglong talk big?" Xiahou Dun became a little anxious, "Wei Ji, don't talk nonsense."

This person is Wei Ji, Wei Zhongdao's elder brother, and Cai Yan's nominal uncle. He was once taught by Dongfang Sheng, and now he is serving Cao Cao with Dongfang Sheng, but he can't forget the humiliation. He happened to come in this time to hear Dongfang Sheng's words made him resentful, and he wanted to use this to punish Dongfang Sheng.

"I don't know what Brother Boru wants?" Dongfang Sheng is a bold man with high skills, so he will not be afraid of Wei Ke, and he is already confident, so he is more confident.

"There is no joke in the army, if brother Tenglong can issue a military order, Bo Ru will be convinced." Wei Ji smiled sinisterly.

Wei Qi stepped forward and said to Cao Cao: "If you fail to finish, please behead Dongfang Sheng to clarify the military law."

"What do you think Tenglong wants?" Cao Cao asked Dongfang Shengdao.

Is my jungle warfare all these years for nothing?Or is my top-notch field survivability fake?Dongfang Sheng smiled and said to Cao Cao: "I am willing to issue a military order. If I can't bring back enough food for the people of Dong'e County to survive the famine within a month, my lord can behead my head to show the public, so as to clarify the military law."

Wei Qi showed a proud smile, Xiahou Dun looked worried, Cao Cao didn't have much reaction but said indifferently: "I hope you can finish it."

Once the military order is established, if it cannot be completed, it will face severe punishment.

"If I'm done, what should Bo Ru do?" Dongfang Sheng asked rhetorically.

Wei Jie said disdainfully: "If you can bring back enough food for the people of Dong'e County to survive the famine, I, Wei Jie, will bow three times and nine times to thank Brother Tenglong with the incense burner on my head."

"One word from a gentleman."

"Come on!"

Dongfang Sheng and Wei Ji looked at each other and smiled, Dongfang Sheng smiled triumphantly, and Wei Ji smiled triumphantly.

Dongfang Sheng didn't waste time to say goodbye to Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun directly, and he was going to take the group of recruits to find something to eat.

Dongfang Sheng remembered that he once watched a program called Survival in the Wilderness, which talked about how a special soldier survived difficulties in the wild without any food by relying on various animals and plants.

For someone like Dongfang Sheng who once stayed on the Amazon for a month, those are just pediatrics, and the mission is not a TV show. Dongfang Sheng remembers that he has swallowed many famous and unknown animals and insects alive.

I'm better than him, Dongfang Sheng once said with a smile to a wilderness survival program on TV while putting his arms around a British girl.

When Dongfang Sheng saw the new recruits, his heart was a little bit cold. He didn't say much, and each of them was so hungry that his feet trembled. Needless to say, such soldiers had to go to the battlefield, even ordinary walking was strenuous.

Dongfang Sheng yelled at the group of recruits who were so hungry that they didn't know how to go north: "Do you want to eat!"

Swish!
In just an instant, Dongfang Sheng felt that hundreds of pairs of green eyes were staring at him, which made Dongfang Sheng's back covered with cold sweat. Crazy hungry people will indeed do anything.

"General, do you really have anything to eat?" A soldier as thin as a bamboo pole walked up to Dongfang Sheng and asked.

Dongfang Sheng looked at him and said, "I don't have anything to eat, but I know where there is food. I'm here to take you to find food!"
