Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 294 Old Food That You Can Eat
Chapter 295 Old Food That You Can Eat
In the end, Cao Chong still worriedly agreed to Guo He.

Cao Chong felt that Guo He would not harm him in this regard, and Guo He had supervised the military rations for the old Cao for many years and had rich experience. Since he said that the rations were edible, it was probably not a big problem.

Moreover, Cao Chong also asked all the people accompanying him to see the more than 1000 stone samples sent by the other party. They also said that they were not moldy and could be eaten.

Furthermore, the price difference of [-] shi is indeed a huge sum. Although Luoyang has already started farming, it will not be harvested for the first time until autumn.

However, how much can be collected is not certain, and it will definitely not be able to feed more than 7 people. In addition, the 7 shi purchased from the Prime Minister's Mansion will not work. The food consumption of more than 30 people will be nearly [-] shi a year!
Besides, agriculture is an industry that depends on the weather, especially these years. Who knows what the weather will be like this year and next year?

If there is a severe drought, locust plague or something, the consequences will be unimaginable. This year's summer harvest is not very good, which is why Cao Chong was exempted from Luoyang's summer tax.

So once there is an opportunity to obtain food, Cao Chong will not let it go easily.

Since Guo He and everyone in his entourage said there was no problem, Cao Chong agreed to exchange.

Cao Chong knew that Guo He was Lao Cao's confidant, so he would not help the gentry to harm Cao Chong, and Cao Pi and Cao Zhi would not use such things to harm Cao Chong.

If Lao Cao knew about this, they would be miserable!

In order to seize the heir, deliberately feed more than 7 people poisoned food?They haven't reached that level yet, and the two of them aren't that stupid!

This was the purpose of Guo He calling Cao Chong to Xingyang. He really helped Cao Chong, but Cao Chong felt that he would benefit a lot.

Cao Chong stayed in Xingyang for three more days. He used the three days to formulate a very strict inspection, transportation, and distribution process for this batch of grain to ensure that there would be no problems.

First of all, a large number of people must be dispatched to check carefully to ensure that the received grain is not moldy or rotten.

Moreover, each batch of grain is stored and distributed strictly according to the method planned in advance. Even if a small amount of moldy food is not found, it will not cause one-time large-scale food poisoning.

"The whole world is full of hunger, and the food in these people's homes is left to rot!" Xue Qi's voice was full of hatred, and she grabbed a handful of millet and smelled it carefully to see if there was any musty smell.

Cao Chong grabbed the rice and rubbed it vigorously, and the rice grains broke into pieces immediately. How long has he been brewing it?

"Calm down! Anyway, I got more grain for Luoyang, check it carefully! You will be responsible for the inspection, transportation, and distribution of the grain this time."

"People go directly to Wenjiao to ask for it. When this kind of grain is transported out of the cellar, it will quickly deteriorate and rot when it sees the air. It won't last long. After it is transported back, it will be distributed and eaten immediately."

Cao Chong found that this female Duzhi doctor was very careful and responsible, so he entrusted her with the heavy responsibility.

Then he truthfully informed Xinmin about the exchanging of old grains. Unexpectedly, everyone was quite happy!
The common people are not stupid. Everyone knows how difficult it is to provide rations for more than 7 people. It is good to have something to eat. Before they came to Luoyang, they had not had enough food for a long time. Who cares whether it is old food or new food!

Through this incident, Cao Chong gained a new understanding of the gentry, just like Xue Qi said: "The whole world is full of starvation, and the food in these people's homes is left to rot!" '

Is this what he did?
And since he dared to exchange it with Cao Chong for new food, it is obvious that you are not afraid of knowing!

How much food and supplies do these people have stored, and what do they want to do with them?
A bunch of damn moths!

The food that was exchanged for many years was put into Luoyang Xinmin's stomach immediately, and Cao Chong was relieved when he didn't find any damage to his stomach after more than ten days.

Everything is going smoothly in Luoyang. Cao Chong didn't go to the county government office today, but was analyzing the information sent by the school affairs office in the back government office.

"Cao Tai! This Sun Quan has been in Xiakou for more than a month, how did the information come?"

"You can also see that something is wrong. This information is a routine report sent by Xiakou's statistical team every month. No one paid attention to it at all. If I hadn't accidentally seen it two days ago, we would have neglected it!" Cao Tai stood aside Back to Tao.

The intelligence analysis ability of the school office needs to be improved urgently!
With Cao Chong's detailed arrangements, the school office's intelligence collection is not bad, but the intelligence analysis ability is really not that good.

"I told Cao Yan a long time ago that he should pay attention to training some intelligence analysts and find opportunities to destroy the marriage between Sun and Liu. It is my top priority order to Jingzhou and Yangzhou. None of these people can marry Xiakou Daxing and the two. Get in touch?" Cao Chong felt helpless.

"Don't blame the staff below. It is estimated that only those near Xiakou know about Sun Quan's large-scale construction in Xiakou. After the Huangshe incident last time in Xiakou, most of the staff have withdrawn, and only a few people stayed behind." Cao Cao The subordinates of the Taiti School Office explained.

"Xiakou, as a military port, should overhaul the military stronghold. Sun Quan built a palace and mansion in this lonely military port in the north of the river. Even a fool should think it's abnormal!"

"Forget it, pay more attention to cultivating talents in the future, such important information almost leaked! Did you tell Xia Houba and them?" Cao Chong asked helplessly.

"After I found out that something was wrong, I hurriedly sent a letter to Brother Xiahouba Fei. Fortunately, the construction of these palaces and mansions will take some time, so there will be no delay."

"Earlier, I found out that Liu Da'er was doing a lot of construction in the Public Security Bureau. I thought that Sun Quan really wanted to marry Liu Da'er this time. Now it seems that Sun Quan still has no good intentions!"

"Last time you said that Sun and Liu were going to form a coalition to attack Yizhou. This is a good reason for them to marry. You also said that both of them want to monopolize Yizhou. Is there really no problem for them to marry like this? This kind of strategic plan, both families should be worried You know it well, right?" Cao Tai was puzzled.

"It is certain that they all want to monopolize Yizhou, especially Liu Daer. ​​For this purpose, it is normal for him to betray Sun Quan and abandon Jingzhou!"

"I just don't know how they are calculating, so I can't guess the specifics of this marriage."

"However, one thing is certain, the two are still on the defensive against each other. Liu Daer would not dare to go to Sun Quan's territory. I used to think that Sun Quan would generously send his sister to Liu Daer! Now it seems that Sun Quan is plotting against Liu Daer. Big ears!"

"Xiakou? Even if the two hold a big ceremony in Xiakou, Xiakou is hanging alone on the north bank of the Yangtze River and surrounded by Liu Bei. As long as Liu Bei brings a team into Xiakou, Sun Quan will have nothing to do with Liu Bei. Can't escape?" Cao Tai didn't understand Sun Quan's behavior.

"Who knows how the two of them agreed? We don't need to worry about it, as long as we find a way to cause some damage!" Cao Chong laughed loudly.

Knowing that the place where the two families will hold the big ceremony is likely to be Xiakou, there are many arrangements that can be made in advance!
