Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 253 Lively Taicang

On the second day, Liu Yu locked himself in the room for a whole morning. After tens of thousands of combination attempts, he finally managed to spell out a corner of the "treasure map".

Anyone who has played jigsaw puzzles knows that the beginning is the most difficult, but once a corner is spelled out, the speed will become faster, because the suitable pattern can be determined through continuous trial and error.

However, the "treasure map" given by the system is composed of thousands of pieces, and there is no actual pattern. Even if a corner is spelled out, it will take a lot of time to complete it all.

Liu Yu struggled for a while and felt that his head was too tired, so he quit the system and prepared to take a rest.

As soon as they lay down, Dong Bai came, and the two of them were just like glue on their "bridal honeymoon", and they stayed in the room for more than half an hour.

It wasn't until Xu Shu informed that Taicang Cheng Yang Xiu had come to see him that the two parted reluctantly.

Yang Xiu is Liu Yu's half apprentice, majoring in...agriculture.

So he has been tinkering with potato and sweet potato seedling cultivation in Fanglin Garden.

But this time he came to look for Liu Yu because the first batch of grain and grass that was transferred from Taicang was ushered in, and he came to look for Liu Yu not only because of the arrival of the grain, but also because several important ministers of the DPRK were gathering at Taicang to quarrel endlessly.

"Meet the teacher! The first batch of grain and grass has been shipped from the underground palace outside the city, and we are waiting for the teacher to open a warehouse to receive it!" Yang Xiu stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Liu Yu waved his hand and asked, "Do you still need to find me for such small things as opening a warehouse? You can instruct people to place them in order and count the quantity clearly!"

Liu Yu still had puzzles to complete and didn't want to go to Taicang to waste time, but found that Yang Xiu had a troubled look on his face.

"What? Is it difficult to deal with receiving a grain?" Liu Yu asked puzzled, thinking that Yang Dezu was quite resourceful, how could such a trivial matter make him so difficult? Could it be that something happened in Taicang?
I only heard Yang Xiu explain: "It is not difficult to receive food and grass, but... all the officials in Taicang who were in charge of statistics were sent home, and now all the adults are arguing about manpower arrangements, so I still invite the teacher to preside over it." The big picture!"

When Liu Yu heard that someone wanted to infiltrate his "turf", how could he do it!He took Yang Xiu to Taicang on the spot.

Mathematics in a broad sense at the end of the Han Dynasty is actually the simplest mathematics that everyone in the future will know.And those people who study advanced mathematics at this time are very rare, which can be described as rare.

Arithmetic is also one of the elementary education, but because there are not many people who can go to school, only the children of aristocratic families can have the opportunity to receive education, but most of the children of rich families are Confucianism-based, so they know a little about arithmetic at this time people will be called calculators.

Yang Xiu was born in a famous family, so he is naturally proficient in some arithmetic, but he still cannot complete the storage and management of the entire Taicang by himself.

So Wang Yun and other royalist factions took the opportunity to send people to Taicang, and Li Ru of the Xiliang faction also brought Sima Fang, the commander of Luoyang, to arrange for people to work in Taicang.

The two sides quarreled endlessly, so Yang Xiu came to ask Liu Yu to preside over the overall situation.

Having food in Taicang is definitely a lucrative job.

For a while, Taicang, which was originally empty, instantly became a hot spot for everyone to fight for.

……

When he arrived in Taicang, Liu Yu saw thousands of carriages standing outside. It turned out that they were blocked by many ministers at the gate of Taicang. At this time, those adults were fighting for the positions of two small stewards, blushing and thick necks.

"Oh, the little Taicang has welcomed so many great gods today, I am really honored by this Taicang!"

Liu Yu giggled and walked forward to say hello to everyone, seeing that Sima Fang was there, he enthusiastically chatted with him a few more words.

After all, this Luoyang Ling is Sima Yi's father, and Liu Yu will not let go of any chance to make friends with him.

But when Li Ru saw it, he mistakenly thought that the two of them were so close because they both had collusion with Yuan Shao.

"Hmph! Don't tell me to get caught, as soon as Chen Yuan finds evidence from the letter, I will definitely sue the two of you to the Grand Master!" Li Ru thought to himself, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Finally, Liu Yu came to Ma Teng and asked: "General Ma Teng personally escorted him and worked hard all the way! I wonder if the underground palace outside the city has made proper arrangements?"

Liu Yu is the commander-in-chief of the transshipment of grain and grass, and it is his duty to care about the safety of grain and grass, but his question does not only have superficial meaning.

Ma Teng clasped his fists and replied, "King of Zhongshan, don't worry, the boy Ma Chao is watching over there, no one will dare to mess around!"

After Ma Teng finished speaking, he made a silent comparison. He asked his son what this gesture meant last night. It was only later that he realized that this gesture invented by Liu Yu represented success.

The two were talking about business matters, but their eyes were communicating about private matters, and Ma Teng's scissor hands also let Liu Yu clearly know that last night's action was very smooth.

Seeing Liu Yu coming, Sun Rui, the chief farmer, only cared about chatting with others, so he took the conversation anxiously.

Shi Sunrui said: "Master Tingwei and I went to the underground palace to check in the morning. King Zhongshan's layout is very proper and the division of labor is very clear, so there is no problem at all. Let's solve the matter in front of us first!"

What Shi Sun Rui said before him was nothing more than that the ministers wanted to place their cronies into Taicang to work in Taicang, so as to seek some personal benefits for them in the future.

As a member of the Xiliang faction, Li Ru must have the same plan, so when Shi Sun Rui mentioned this, the two argued again about arranging personnel to enter Taicang.

Shi Sunrui is the chief minister, and he is the superior of the Taicang Order, so he made a plan last night, and specially asked someone to find an accountant, and planned to arrange to work in Taicang.

But he didn't expect to bring people here today, but found that many people had the same idea as him, not only the Xiliang faction, but also some people from the royalist faction wanted to get involved.

The person who wanted to get a foot in Taicang was Situ Wangyun.

"Everyone, stay safe and don't be impatient. Now that the Taicang order is here, let's listen to his opinion on who to use!" Wang Yun put on the appearance of the leader of all officials.

But he was actually thinking carefully, thinking that if he married his adopted daughter Diao Chan to Liu Yu, the other party would probably open the back door for him based on this relationship.

Although the Taicang order is not a big official, Liu Yu is still the king of Zhongshan and the commander-in-chief who supervised the transfer of grain and grass, so he has absolute say in arranging personnel to enter Taicang as errands.

So following Wang Yun's words, everyone focused their attention on Liu Yu, waiting for him to answer.

I saw Liu Yu shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and said: "Taicang is an important place in the country. I will report to the Grand Master and send a team of soldiers to garrison."

"As for the officials and soldiers in Taicang, there is a shortage of supervisors and Dianshi, so let... Cui Di and Zhou Fang take care of them!"

Liu Yu pointed around in front of everyone with his hand, but finally fell behind Yang Xiu.
