Chapter 445: : Turning harm into treasure (Thanks to starting point book friends for their rewards)
A genius remembers the site address in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Zhou Yu frowned and thought. When the Jiangdong Army captured Lujiang and Liu Biao withdrew, he suggested Sun Ce to seize the land of Jiujiang. However, Sun Ce's mind But it was placed in Jingzhou.
"If the lord wants to seize the land of Jiujiang, he must first show his favor to the sage. The sage represents the Han Dynasty, and there is a gap between the sage and Cao Cao. I definitely don’t want Cao Cao to sit on the ground. Conquering Yuan Shuzhong, losing soldiers and breaking generals." Jiangdong and Jingzhou have a long history of hatred and grudges. They will not be resolved because of Liu Biao's inheritance. The most important thing is Jingzhou's rich man who sits in the Jiangdong area, although there is no need to worry about Jingzhou's revival of troops. However, it is difficult to compete in the Central Plains. In these troubled times, all the princes who want to make a difference want to get a piece of the Central Plains, and Liu Biao has become a more powerful obstacle to blocking Jiangdong.
Sun Ce was silent for a long time and said: "Send someone to contact Zhang Xun secretly, and you must get a jade seal and a crossbow."
Zhou Yu handed his hand and said yes, and understood Sun Ce's choice. Although the land of Jiujiang was important, once Jiangdong army came out and competed with Cao Cao in Jiujiang, Jiangdong would be empty. How could Liu Biao miss such an opportunity? , But the navy is still there.
"Order the spies to pay close attention to the movements of Jiangxia and Jingzhou naval forces." Sun Ce said.
"Master, the Jinfan thief robbed the warship and left. I am afraid someone secretly instructed. If the Jinfan thief belongs to Jingzhou, you must be cautious." Zhou Yu reminded that from Gan Ning's movements, he felt extraordinary. It means that there is always a kind of uneasiness. If Gan Ning is a surprise soldier of the Jingzhou army, it will definitely cause trouble to Jiangdong.
"Jinfan Thief? Humph, if it provokes Benhou, it will leave them dead." Sun Ce snorted coldly.
Zhou Yu frowned slightly. "The lord, the leader of the Jinfan Pirates, Gan Ning, is quite brave and proficient in water warfare. At this time, he has two boats and sixteen warships, not to be underestimated, according to the news from Jingzhou. The sage was furious about the Jinfan thief’s escape from Jingzhou. Why not secretly order someone to contact Ganning. If it can be used by Jiangdong, Jingzhou can be used."
Sun Ce nodded and said, "Just use Gong Jin's words."
The generals in the field heard that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were plotting the land of Jingzhou. They were not dissatisfied at all because Liu Biao was the emperor. Jingzhou and Jiangdong’s hatred was too deep. This hatred could not be changed by Liu Biao becoming an emperor. As for civil officials. It was worried.
At the same time, the number of refugees rushing to Bingzhou from all over the country reached 100,000. Dense houses were built outside Huguan, and around them were Zhao Yun training thousands of soldiers, with the deterrence of the Union State Army, but no refugees dared. Take the opportunity to make chaos.
The people in Binzhou also took a skeptical attitude and sent the dried locusts to the nearby city. They wondered what the locusts were used by the prefecture.
Outside the city of Jinyang, officials from the prefecture and animal husbandry were there to buy locusts. After the name was passed, they paid immediately. This also greatly encouraged the people’s confidence in catching locusts. There were too many locusts. For a time, Jinyang There are densely densely packed locusts in the warehouse. A rough estimate is that there are at least 200,000 catties of locusts.
"Master, how do you deal with these locusts?" Chen Tian wondered. He was still a little puzzled about Lu Bu's purchase of locusts. The common people, in places with a lot of locusts, they can easily catch 100 catties of locusts in one day. After drying, the minimum is 20 catties, which is 20 dollars a day. Under normal circumstances, it is only more than one hundred dollars for a stone meter. The small servants in the restaurants in the city and the people who work for the merchants earn so much that after hearing the news, many refugees who flocked to Bingzhou caught locusts outside Huguan, and there were officials responsible for purchasing locusts in Huguan. .
Compared with the people in Bingzhou, they hate the locusts even more. It is these locusts that make them wander abroad and let them watch their relatives die in hunger.
If you catch more locusts, you will have a certain ability to live after you arrive in Bingzhou, and you don’t need to rely on the help of the prefecture, especially as more and more people flock to Bingzhou. As a member of the refugees, they feel It is under tremendous pressure.
"Yuan Wu, locusts can eat the people's food, why can't the people instead feed on the locusts?" Lu Bu asked with a smile looking at the locusts piled up in the warehouse.
Chen Tian's expression was slightly stagnant. He had never heard of locust-eating people. Facing locusts, the people avoided it, lest they would get caught. The people caught locusts more because of the attractive prices offered by the State Shepherd House, but If you eat locusts, who dares to fill your mouth, I am afraid that the soldiers in the army will not dare to speak if they know that they are eating locusts.
"Master, this..." Chen Tian was dumbfounded.
"Yuan Wu, now there is not much food and grass in Bingzhou. If there are more locusts for food, it will not only alleviate the current situation in Bingzhou, but it is not impossible to lead troops to attack Hedong. The princes thought that Bingzhou was not equipped to attack because of refugees. At that time, Benhou will disappoint them." Lu Bu said, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao’s big moves have been known to him. All the princes wanted to take advantage at this time, and although there were 100,000 refugees in the state, it was also true. Can not be left behind, this is also a good opportunity to seize Hedong.
"Lord~www.readwn.com~ This is a locust." Chen Tian reminded.
"What about the locusts? Tomorrow 30,000 catties of locusts will be sent to the army, and state officials will also go there. Benhou will eat first." Lu Bu said, compared to the price of rice, locusts are much cheaper. A soldier in January It will consume two to three stones of rice.
Chen Tian's expression changed when he heard the words, "The lord is not allowed."
Lü Bu waved his hand and said, "This lord is not as delicate as what you said, so what happened to the locusts? They make the people unable to live, so this lord will make them the food of the state."
Chen Tian looked at Lu Bu blankly, not knowing how to describe his mood at this time.
"Yuan Wu, locusts are actually delicious." Lu Bu attached his ear canal.
Looking at the densely packed locusts in the warehouse, Chen Tian only felt a little disgusted. He seemed to see the scene where soldiers in the army and officials in Bingzhou were feeding on locusts.
Dian Wei also heard the conversation between Lu Bu and Chen Tian, and looked at Chen Tian sympathetically. He also felt that there was something rolling in his belly, but Lu Bu mentioned eating locusts with a calm expression.
The officials of the State Shepherd’s House heard the news that Chen Tian brought back. They looked at each other and ate locusts. Jin Hou could also think of such things. Not to mention eating them. They just took a look at the dried locusts. Disgusting, especially the officials who bought the locusts. During this period of time, they were even more miserable. At first, the number of locusts was quite small. Now the daily purchase of locusts can reach 30,000 catties, which is not even considered as refugees from Huguan. Locusts acquired in the hands.
