My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

"My lord, Fang Yu from Jingzhou has the courage to lead five thousand troops to guard Yecheng to prevent Jingzhou from attacking our army's rear." Cheng Yu volunteered at this moment.

"With you guarding Yecheng, I feel relieved." Cao Cao nodded in approval.

"Then shrink the line of defense, deploy Baima and Yanjin, wait for Yuan Shao to go south, and give him a head-on blow!" Cao Cao was full of vigor and confidence.

"Okay, food, grass, weapons, etc. have been arranged in advance. In this battle, Yuan Shao must be defeated in one fell swoop, so as to rule the world and become an emperor!"

Cao Cao's voice was sonorous and powerful, shaking the entire general's mansion, and it also made the hearts of all the civil servants tremble. This is a minister from the dragon, and they all look yearning.

Jian'an four years, summer, April!

Hefei is full of traffic and constant traffic.

After three months of rapid development, Hefei has added excitement and economic strength to the previous grandeur. At this moment, many streets in Hefei are overcrowded.

There are all kinds of businesses, and the economy is good.

The main reason for this is that the money in the hands of ordinary people has begun to increase, and the stability of coins has led to more and more transactions and thus more circulation.

Outside the city, there are countless official roads leading to Hefei. These official roads are narrow enough for four horse-drawn carriages to travel at the same time, and wide enough for eight horse-drawn carriages to travel at the same time.

Magnificent, majestic, yearning for strength.

Of course, on the basis of the stability of coins, there is also the output of goods. The amount of goods determines the stability of the economy, so that Chu Feng withdrew from various goods that stabilized the market.

Among them, people's daily necessities, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, cloth, raised livestock and fish, etc., the economy is ultimately to improve life, provided that agriculture must be guaranteed.

And businessmen from other places came in an endless stream. When they came to Hefei, they were also frightened by this super-large city, and some even reached cooperation.

In the city, the general's office.

Chu Feng looked at the Chinese document in his hand, and couldn't help laughing softly. He didn't expect Cao Cao to be so courageous, to omit even asking for peace and directly send troops to garrison?

I really don't pay attention to banning [-] soldiers and horses, but he is very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's approach, so he must make him pay some price!

"My lord, it seems that the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is imminent, what should our army do?" Lu Su frowned and said in a deep voice.

According to Chu Feng's request, all the people in Hefei are preparing for the battle. It has been half a year since the beginning of winter, and Chu Feng really has the patience to do it.

"When Yuan Shao worships the heaven and the earth, at that time, send troops to Xuzhou to respond to Yuan Shao. I want to see how capable he is, Cao Cao, who dares to turn a blind eye to me."

Chu Feng snorted coldly, his words were not very kind.

Now the strength of his troops has reached the full scale of [-]. Although most of them are recruits, they are definitely not at the mercy of others.

What's more, during this period, three warships were launched, two of which have been equipped for reuse, and one can gallop across the river and sea in just this month, and each of them symbolizes the power of the navy.

They are named Lujiang Ship, Danyang Ship, and Wujun Ship respectively. As for the orders for ordinary commercial ships, they are ten times higher than in previous years, and they are all prepared for business.

A small portion is ready for fishing!

"Send troops directly?" Lu Su was surprised.

"It's not too late to stop until the right things are given. After all, this war can't let them end quickly. The longer it delays, the better for us."

"You know, our goal is Jingzhou!"

When Chu Feng said this, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a sinister smile.

"Oh, by the way, the goods for domestic demand still need to be further improved, and how is the progress of the artisans that Zi Jingyou searched for?" Chu Feng asked as he put down the paperwork.

"It's all progressing!" Lu Su replied.

"Well, how is the layout in Jingzhou? Two months have passed, everything should be in order, right?" Chu Feng took a sip of the teacup next to him.

"Everything has been properly arranged. At that time, they will purchase grain throughout Jingzhou in various identities, so as to proceed according to our plan!" Lu Su solemnly replied.

"Since the arrangements are in order, let this war without gunpowder smoke start from Jingzhou!"

Chapter 241 Sweeping Jingzhou, coin baptism!

======================================

Chapter 241 Sweeping Jingzhou, coin baptism!

Jingzhou, counties and counties within the territory.

Because Jingzhou is located in a remote place, it is also a land of fish and rice. Except that Nanyang in the north of the Han River was poisoned by Yuan Shu, Huang Jin, Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu, etc.,

In the rest of the states and counties, the people still live and work in peace and contentment.

At least it is much better than the people in the Central Plains.

In the downtown area of ​​the city, looking at the prices set by many grain merchants also made many people frown slightly.

"Boss, yesterday's grain price was [-] hu, why is it [-] today?" A strong man couldn't help asking.

"Can you afford it? If you can't afford it, there is rice bran over there, so don't delay my business!" The boss was somewhat sullen. Compared with the wealthy businessmen a few days ago, these people are poor.

"But boss, your price increase is too much."

"Boss Zhang, you're here. Today is high-quality corn, one thousand eighty-one hu, how much do you think?" The boss saw the wealthy businessman approaching from a distance, and stepped forward flatteringly.

"I want it all!" The wealthy businessman waved his hand, not taking it seriously.

"Okay, I'll bag it for you!" the boss said with a smile.

Watching bags of grain being bought away, many grain merchants began to close their doors, but the common people felt a bit depressed. They never expected that the grain would rise so fast.

Depending on the situation, the food price may exceed [-] tomorrow.

If things go on like this, ordinary people can't afford food at all!

"Hey!" Someone shook his head and sighed, then turned and left.

And then, in just a few months, the price of grain in the city was directly raised to [-] hu. You must know that it was only [-] at the beginning, which is a full six or seven times increase.

Moreover, with the increase in food prices, the salt, cloth, etc. of the salt merchants in the city also increased, and the economies of various places were directly boosted by a group of inexplicable wealthy merchants.

This caused the common people in the city to complain endlessly,

They also couldn't think of why all these things suddenly became expensive, and the price was outrageous, some doubled, and some seriously doubled seven or eight times.

However, it is not difficult to imagine that if there are suddenly tens of thousands or even 10,000+ billion in the country, that one watermelon may be two hundred. In short, all kinds of things will go up.

The only solution is to find a way to keep the funds from flowing in, and at the same time use goods to suppress inflation, but the funds in various places have long been deployed.

As for the aristocratic family, they do have food in storage, but the aristocratic family doesn't want to talk about this opportunity to cut leeks. Instead, they want to sell the food at a high price.

Coupled with all kinds of bribes, the aristocratic family is even more lazy to manage the pressure of ordinary people's survival.

----

In a blink of an eye, summer is in the middle and late April.

Jingzhou, within the city of Xiangyang.

Xiangyang City is the least affected place, but due to the influence of various places, it has also slightly increased.

At this moment, in the mansion.

Liu Biao slowly closed the document and asked, "Is Chu Feng still still?"

"My lord, nothing has happened yet." Cai Mao clasped his fists and replied, but he was also very curious, because according to Chu Feng's character, now that Yuan Cao is fighting along the Yellow River,

It is absolutely impossible for Chu Feng to wait quietly,

Now that the beginning of spring has passed for almost four months, Chu Feng is really calm, or does he really not plan to attack Jingzhou?But it shouldn't be!

Hearing this reply, Liu Biao was very dissatisfied. He really wanted to hear the news of Chu Feng's invasion, but it was all about Chu Feng's eating, drinking and having fun.

It annoyed him.

"My lord, is it possible that Chu Feng has no intention of attacking our Jingzhou? Or is he waiting for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to go to war?" Wen Pin clasped his fists sideways and asked tentatively.

He is a recently promoted general with some talent.

"Chu Feng has lofty aspirations, and he is definitely not a kind person. Don't be careless. I'm afraid he is holding back bad intentions and sending a letter to Huang Zu in Jiangxia, telling him to take precautions."

Liu Biao waved his hand and said solemnly.

He doesn't believe in Chu Feng who is a good person,

This person lied all the time, the warship that lied to him in Jingzhou before has not been returned, how could such people not be greedy for Jingzhou?What's more, Jingzhou is still upstream!

"No!" The messenger nodded in response.

At this moment, Kuai Liang pondered for a while, but still said: "My lord, there is one thing that needs to be guarded against."

"What's the matter?" Liu Biao frowned.

"Now there are inexplicably many wealthy merchants in Jiangxia and Nanjun. These people are buying all kinds of cloth, grain and other items at prices much higher than the market price."

Kuai Liang frowned and said solemnly.

"Isn't it normal to have a few wealthy merchants?" Liu Biao waved his hand.

"My lord, these wealthy merchants have been collecting scraps for nearly half a month, and they are not short of money at all. Obviously, they have a purpose. Now that prices in various places are out of balance, food prices are soaring, and the people are complaining!"

Kuai Liang clasped his fists and said solemnly.

"Price imbalance? Is there a good solution?" Liu Biao raised his eyebrows, he didn't want to see the common people complaining at this juncture.

"Release the government's stockpile of grain and calm the price of grain. At the same time, send people to find out these wealthy merchants. Be sure to find out. I'm afraid they are sent by Chu Feng or Cao Cao."

Kuai Liang suggested.

"Release the stored grain?" Liu Biao hesitated, "How much grain do you need?"

"I'm afraid it will take a million dendrobiums," Kuai Liang said with some embarrassment. After all, a million dendrobiums of grain are filled in for no reason, who wants it!

"One million? It doesn't matter if the price is affected a little bit. The people will naturally calm down when the grain is harvested next year. After all, the government has limited grain stocks. In this year of war, don't waste it."

Liu Biao waved his hand, not thinking about it at all.

Although he treats the people well, it doesn't mean that he will support them unconditionally, not to mention spending millions to appease them, which is too much.

"As for the rebellious grain merchants, send people to investigate clearly. If they belong to Cao Cao or Chu Feng, arrest them immediately." Liu Biao urged again,

"No!" Kuai Liang nodded, he had to investigate thoroughly.

"Oh, by the way, I just read the documents. Cao Cao sent Cheng to Yecheng to beware of our army. I wonder what you think of this upcoming battle between Cao and Yuan?"

Liu Biao stroked his beard and asked curiously.

As soon as the words came out, all civil and military officers looked at each other, except for a few generals, the rest all said in unison: "Wait and see!"

From their point of view, Liu Biao was originally a puppet, and it was obviously impossible to help Liu Biao expand his borders. As long as they preserve their strength, anyone who enters Jingzhou will have to look at their faces.

"Since this is the case, then be more careful, and send a message to Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei to give them a chance to lead their troops to repel Cheng Yu's troops."

Liu Biao waved his hand, thinking that the arrangement was not bad.

He can face Cao Cao in the north and Chu Feng in the east with ease, but the most important thing right now is to deal with Zhang Xian. This person is an old bone and still wants to fight hard. It's not easy!

After getting rid of Zhang Xian, Jingzhou can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, at least it is unrealistic for these years.

"Okay, let's all go down and get ready, report any problems immediately!" Liu Biao waved his hands, somewhat helpless in his heart.

----

On that day, all kinds of news from Liu Biao spread like wildfire, so that when the people below went to search, those wealthy businessmen in the past disappeared in an instant, leaving behind all kinds of mess.

However, another group of grain merchants appeared to sell grain at a low price. The price of grain in the market was [-] yuan, and these grain merchants all sold it at a price of [-] yuan.

Not only food, but also various other things are on sale,

The only curious thing is that the purchase of this kind of grain must be exchanged for a new kind of coin. After a group of people exchanged and purchased it face to face, many people chose to believe that,

And based on five hundred renminbi a dendrobium, you must know that the exchange rate of four to one is calculated, and the grain is only two thousand renminbi a dendrobium, which is much lower than the current eight thousand.

The most important thing is that these new coins are said to be the coins of Chu Feng in Yangzhou. The people of Yangzhou are famous for living and working in peace and contentment, so that the people believe it even more.

On that day, an unknown amount of food was sold.

This also made the merchants in the city nervous and tried to lower the price, but the other party's price made them retreat, and they could only watch helplessly.

In just one day, the prices of these grain merchants dropped again,

From the initial price of [-] yuan per hu, it has been directly reduced to [-] yuan per hu. After conversion, the price of [-] hu of grain is a little bit higher than the original price.

But this initial price is completely a thing of the past,
