Chapter 320 The Wheel of History Is Still Going Forward

"What else can I do? You can't go back home, and you don't know anyone here... Forget about this, why did Cao Chong send you to Yizhou?"

"This..." Feng Yi hesitated for a while.

"Oh, it's fine if you can't say it! I'll just ask casually."

"It's nothing serious, it's just that it's a bit difficult to speak in front of you. The young master asked us to go to Yizhou to find a way to delay the pace of the Sun Liu coalition army."

Sun Shangxiang glanced at her: "I hope you can come back alive, your deceitful tricks are useless against tens of thousands of troops. Hmph! You brought me here and failed to stop the army from entering Sichuan, but gave me Terrible."

Feng Yi felt that today's visit was about the same, and if the chat continued, it might anger Sun Shangxiang.

"Miss Sun, you should go out more often in the future, even if you go out to see the scenery, it is better than staying at home. The past is over, and you will have a long life in the future, so you have to think about the future."

Before leaving, Feng Yi saw that there were straw figurines for sword practice piled up everywhere at the base of the wall, and she sincerely suggested.

"I will, and if I come back alive, come and see me."

"A word is settled!"

Feng Yi left Sun Shangxiang's small courtyard, went to a restaurant to have a good meal, and then went to Zhang Ba and others to discuss the next thing.

Zhang Ba and others discussed for an afternoon and decided to split up. Zhang Ba took Wang Jun, Feng Yi and a small group of Wang Jun's men to Jingzhou on fast horses.

Then they went up the river and entered Yizhou. Zhou Cheng led the rest of the people to form a caravan behind, and the two were going to meet up in Jiangzhou.

"You just let them go to Yizhou? What if they can't complete the task?" Cao Tai asked Cao Chong.

"There's nothing to say that this mission can't be completed. It just depends on how useful they can be. Besides, we don't know much about the situation in Yizhou. How can we give them specific orders?"

"I always feel useless?"

"Try it, at least they can send out the news in time, not to mention them, it is not certain when the Sun Liu coalition army will enter Sichuan, how are the merchants who are hoarding and gathering?"

"It's almost cleaned up, so let them go away like this?" Cao Tai was a little angry.

"Then what else do you want? They are hoarding, and they didn't kill and set fire. The laws of the Han Dynasty are very loose, and we can't leave anyone with a clue. We have to find out who sent them. In the future, there will be more people." Chance to clean them up."

Cao Chong said indifferently, the young master would definitely get back his principal and interest.

"You decided to continue this tax exemption until the winter solstice? Now that the market prices have stabilized, and the prices of various materials have dropped significantly, you have done a big favor to the people of Luoyang this time. Have you counted how much tax has been lost?"

Cao Tai didn't understand Cao Chong's approach, why should he keep exempting the tax? Although the price of those few items is not high, but the quantity is large, and the merchants are in vain.

"Advertising and earning money can not cost money? Now Luoyang is still extremely depressed, and those things can't collect much tax. Tomorrow, a notice will be posted in Luoyang. There will be preferential policies for tax exemption and tax reduction next autumn. Go down and buy a large amount of various material reserves."

"Ah! Do this again next year? What are you going to do?"

"Nothing, it's just a basic means to prosper the market."

"It's useless to spend your own money to prosper the market, and why do you store so many supplies? Now Luoyang is building warehouses everywhere, and you store so much food, cloth, and daily groceries. You have nowhere to spend your money?"

"Just take care of your intelligence work. You won't understand these economics for a while."

Cao Chongxin said that without a certain amount of material reserves to stabilize the market, revival of Luoyang is bullshit, and the elites of the gentry will wipe you out with a wave of their hands.

"Okay! Anyway, it's all your money. What about those who incite the people? I didn't catch a few this time. After all, you suppressed the market price before it rose."

"Throw it to Manpang, find out who is behind the scenes, then throw it to a labor camp, tell Manpang not to make a mess, labor is scarce!"

After Cao Tai, Cao Chong sighed, these silly tricks of making small troubles are nothing, just afraid of attracting the attention of real vicious people to Luoyang, such as Sima Yi.

Fortunately, with Lao Cao around, everyone's eyes were on him. Even if Cao Chong made a little move, it would be attributed to Lao Cao's instigation.

For example, the Yanzheng government, people do not believe that this is a policy that a 14-year-old dude can design.

In fact, they guessed it right. Fazheng, Pang Tong, Zhou Buyi and others were the specific designers. Cao Chong just put forward an idea, but attributed all this to Lao Cao. Cao Chong could only say: You did a great job. !
Perhaps the deterrent effect of killing Zheng Yi had an effect. The external environment in Luoyang was basically calm in the second half of the year. Except for a few hoarding merchants, no other major events happened.

Cao Chong seized the time to implement the new policy, and Xinmin exchanged the first season of grain he harvested with the government for various living materials in an orderly manner.

From then on, these hooligans really have a sense of belonging to Luoyang!

The schools and literacy classes scattered in the Tuntian districts are also well-run. While Liu Jing is overhauling water conservancy in Luoyang, he is pinching his nose to vigorously promote the sowing of winter wheat.

"I thought you didn't plan to take any action this year! It seems that your hopes have come to nothing, and you have made a lot of noise this time!" Cao Chong put the information from Jiang Xia on the table.

"Zhou Yu led [-] grandson and Liu allied forces across the Three Gorges to attack Yizhou?" Wen Jiao picked up the information on the table.

"Yes! Young Master, I have worked so hard to sabotage their marriage and arrest Sun Shangxiang to Luoyang. It's useless. It's only been a few days, and the army has started. I hope it will be delayed until next year!"

On the winter solstice of the 15th year of Jian'an, Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, took Gan Ning and Xu Sheng as the vanguard, led Pan Zhang, Jiang Xin, Chen Wu, Dong Xi and other generals, and personally led [-] elite troops to march westward along the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each with [-] elites to meet Zhou Yu in Yidao, and under Zhou Yu's command, formed a [-] army to attack Yizhou.

Seeing the arrival of Sun and Liu's allied forces, Yufu county magistrate offered the city to surrender, and Zhou Yu occupied Baidi City without a single soldier.

Next, Sun Liu's coalition forces were like a broken bamboo, and they went down to Quren, Linjiang, Pingdu, and Zhixian. The army was invincible. Within a month, they traveled thousands of miles along the Yangtze River to Yizhou, and went straight to Jiangzhou, the most important military center in the southeast of Yizhou.

The prefect of Bajun in Yizhou, the general Yan Yan, fought hard to resist, but lost to the fierce offensive of the coalition forces, trapped the isolated city, and Jiangzhou was in danger.

It was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month when Cao Chong received the news that Zhou Yu was besieging Jiangzhou.

After reading the news from Yizhou, Cao Chong looked at the white snow outside the window, sighed and said to himself: "It seems that Zhou Yu is going to celebrate the New Year in Jiangzhou. Once Berkshire is lost, the southern gate of Yizhou will be completely opened. , Yizhou's demise is a foregone conclusion! History has changed beyond recognition!"
