Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 239 This is terrible
Chapter 240 This is terrible
For nearly two months, it was normal to recruit [-] refugees.

But more than 1000 in two days, this is terrible!

"What's different about the refugees in the past two days?" Cao Chong asked immediately.

"I checked carefully, and it shouldn't be bandits or bandits." Liu Jing knew what Cao Chong was suspicious of.

"Since it's not a gangster, let's accept it normally, and wait for another two days to see if someone happened to catch one."

"Okay, I'll go to the household department to apply for a batch of supplies for preparation, so I won't bother you." Liu Jing bid farewell with fists in his hands.

Just as Cao Chong said goodbye to Liu Jing, he ran into Cao Tai again.

"Young master, I feel something is wrong." Cao Tai said suddenly when he saw Cao Chong.

"What's wrong with you?" Cao Chong glared at him.

"What's wrong with me? I mean, I think there's something wrong with Luoyang. The price of food in Luoyang keeps going up." Cao Tai rolled his eyes and said.

"How much has it increased? Now is the time when there is a shortage of food, and it is normal for food prices to increase." Cao Chong said.

"Since February, it has risen by [-]%, and the surrounding counties are also rising. I have sent someone to inquire, and I will reply tomorrow."

Cao Chong was about to answer when someone called him from behind.

"Young master, you are here, I was looking for you!"

"What's wrong with you?" Cao Chong said to Cao Yan who came behind him.

Cao Yan was taken aback: "Young master, what are you talking about? What's wrong?"

Cao Chong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is nothing wrong with you.

"It's nothing, what can I do for you?"

"It's nothing serious, just news from the school office that Zhou Yu is back." Cao Yan said.

"Who's back? Zhou Yu? Well, I almost forgot about him!"

"Didn't this little boy die on the way to Jiaozhou?" Cao Chong questioned.

People are living well, why should they die on the road?
Cao Yan didn't know how to answer.

"How long has it been since you came back? Is there anything unusual? Like dying from a serious illness or something?"

Cao Yan was puzzled: what's wrong, young master, why do you always think that Zhou Yu is going to die?
"Not long after I came back, I heard that this trip was very fruitful. Lingnan has been pacified, and Sun Quan seems to have sent a man named Bu Zhi to be the governor of Jiaozhou. As for whether there is anything unusual, it seems?" Cao Yan still reported truthfully.

"Oh, then keep an eye on it, and let me know when you find out that he is seriously ill and dying."

Cao Yan and Cao looked at each other, both puzzled.

"Young master, that Zhou Yu is only in his thirties this year. I want him to die of illness in a short time. This..."

"People have blessings and misfortunes, maybe they will be seriously ill tomorrow!" Cao Chong explained casually.

"Now that the fighting in Nanjun has stopped, Zhou Yu is a master who can't stay idle. Watch carefully to see if he is planning to attack Liu Daer, or something else."

Cao Yan said in his heart: "Why do you want to attack Liu Bei? The two of them are coalition forces. If you want to attack, you will also attack us."

Cao Yan felt that something was wrong with Cao Chong today, no wonder he just asked something wrong.

Cao Yan bid farewell to Cao Chong, and returned after walking two steps.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Don't be weird, I was interrupted by you just now, and I forgot to say one thing." Cao Yan said helplessly.

"what's up?"

"Didn't the young master ask the school affairs office to keep an eye on Liu Bei to see if he has contacts with anyone in Yizhou? The young master really guessed that there is a man named Peng Yi who seems to be from Yizhou and is now a guest at Liu Bei's residence."

Peng Yi?Never heard of it.

"Well, very good. Liu Da'er is a shit-stirring stick. He has Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other civil servants and generals under his command. He has a lot of ambition. It would be great if he could fight Zhou Yu."

Hearing this, Cao Yan felt that something was wrong with Cao Chong today, he is the coalition army, okay?Why fight each other?
"Young master, these are routine reports from the school affairs office, let's pay more attention to Luoyang."

Cao Yan still thinks it's better not to continue to entangle in this aspect.

"Forget it, I wanted to go to Yiji, but I was disturbed by you, so I'll go back first!" Cao Chong didn't go to Yiji, and went directly to Houya.

In the next two days, things really went in a bad direction.

The people sent by Cao Tai came back and reported that in all counties and counties around Luoyang, the price of grain continued to increase, and the increase was not low.

It was no coincidence that Liu Jing came back to look for Cao Chong again. In the past two days, more than 1000 refugees came, totaling [-].

Cao Chong felt that something big was going to happen this time!
Cao Chong was going to see what happened to the refugees, when someone came to report: "The county magistrate of Yichuan is visiting, just outside the Houyamen!"

Yichuan County Magistrate Liu Dewei, why is this weird county magistrate here at this time?
Is it appropriate for you, a county magistrate, to meet with other county magistrates, without sending official documents, and without sending a greeting card in advance, and just go to the back office of others?

Moreover, you are still holding a big wooden box, you are afraid that others will not know that you are here to give gifts, right?
"Young master, you are a noble person of the lower official, and you can bring countless benefits to the lower official with just a few words. Today, the lower official is here to thank the young master!"

The magistrate of Yichuan yelled loudly as soon as he entered the door, and his words were explicit. Cao Chong really wanted to kick him back to Yichuan!

County magistrate Liu was really telling the truth, and he really came to thank Cao Chong.

And that big wooden box is really a gift for Cao Chong!
Looking at the big box of tea leaves, Cao Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly!
It's nothing to come and give Cao Chong a box of tea, but can you not behave so weirdly?It looks like two corrupt officials colluding with each other!

When we met last time, Cao Chong casually taught County Magistrate Liu how to make Maojian green tea. Unexpectedly, Magistrate Liu would actually tell his family back home in Yiyang.

People from his hometown tried it, and the effect was extraordinary!

As a result, county magistrate Liu came to thank Cao Chong with a large box of tea.

Cao Chong pushed the tea leaves carefully with his fingers. Although it was quite different from the Yiyang Maojian tea of ​​later generations, it could still be called Maojian tea.

"Young master, what you said is really good! Compared with the previous ones, the tea made from these sharp buds not only has no astringent and bitter taste, but also has a more fragrant and delicious taste. It is refreshing to drink..."

"Magistrate Liu, this tea is indeed a good thing for me. I accepted it, but I have an urgent matter in hand. May Magistrate Liu take a rest in the back office? Magistrate Liu."

Cao Chong still wants to check the situation of the refugees!I can only wrong Magistrate Liu for a while!

"I can't bother my young master any more. Since my young master has something important to do, I won't bother my young master anymore. I'm going back to Yichuan."

Cao Chong was a little embarrassed, and was about to say a few polite words, but found that County Magistrate Liu had no intention of leaving.

"Young master, how is the process of recruiting the refugees to farm the fields?"

County magistrate Liu changed from his hippie smiling face just now, and asked with a smile.

Cao Chong was taken aback, this Liu Dewei came to find him specially!
Hearing this tone, he seems to know something!
