Zhen Jiang looked at Cao Shuo excitedly!

"Let me tell you how to boil pork, beef and mutton into oil!"

"Husband is tired, let me instigate you first!"

"You finally got the hang of it!"

After Zhen Jiang got the two methods of handling raw meat, he wanted to send it to Zhen's family.

"Jiang'er, you can't spread this method to outsiders, you have to keep it a secret from me."

"Ah? Didn't you give it to me?"

"I can give it to you, but I can't give it to the Zhen family for nothing!"

Cao Shuo would not be so stupid to give such a big benefit to the Zhen family. A method of making fine salt is enough to repay the kindness of the Zhen family.

He must firmly hold this in his hands, unless the Zhen family gives him all the property.

Zhen Jiang asked: "Husband, do you not trust me?"

"I don't trust you, how could I tell you this!"

"But you put me and the Zhen family aside, isn't it a bit wrong?"

"This is our strategic material, how can it be handed over to others casually."

"Okay, I won't hand it over to the Zhen family!"

It took Zhen Jiang five days to double the grain in Bohai County, and the grain in the surrounding counties also increased, but Zhen Jiang had no intention of stopping.

Bohai County, in Yuan Shao's residence.

Yuan Shao looked at Feng Ji with a sad face and asked:

"Yuan Tu, what are you talking about the Zhen family planning to buy so much food at a big price? The food they bought in the past few days is enough for a 20 army for a year. Does Cao Shuo have so many soldiers?"

"They should be buying food and transporting it to other places for resale!"

Yuan Shao was envious when he thought about the wealth of the Zhen family. Could this be sold to Xianbei to exchange for war horses?

Guo Tu said:

"My lord, fortunately our army bought a lot of food in advance, otherwise we wouldn't be able to afford much at the current price!"

Thinking of this, several people were very fortunate. The grain in the granary was barely enough for an army of [-] to use for half a year!

Feng Ji said: "My lord, do you want us to buy some food, earn some money, and then buy food from Xuzhou at a low price!"

Guo Tu agreed: "My lord, I think it's feasible!"

"Okay, then take out [-]% of the grain and sell it, and then go to Xuzhou to buy grain!"

"My lord, I'm afraid it won't work. The Zhen family doesn't collect soybeans, and we don't have that much other food!"

"No soybeans?"

Yuan Shao looked depressed. Is there something wrong with Huang Dou?

"Report, my lord, the Zhen family announces that they will no longer buy today!"

"what?"

Yuan Shao's expression was bewildered, damn it, why didn't he accept it!

Then, the same thing happened in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and other places in Jizhou.

These people have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. Once the food price is out of balance, it will definitely cause panic among the people.

When Yuan Shao was discussing with Guo Tufengji about where to buy food and waste money, a major event happened in Bohai County.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

Yuan Shao scolded, "Why are you so flustered?"

"The people in all the counties of Bohai County are complaining about the high price of grain, and they are asking the Lord to sell grain at a lower price!"

"what?"

Yuan Shao felt as if he had fallen into the trap of the Zhen family. They raised the price of grain in Hejian so high, and then patted their ass and left.

But he had to clean up the mess by himself, how could he have so much food to sell.

"What a Zhen family, what a Zhen Jiang!"

It's his fault for being dumb, but he, Yuan Shao, is not the type to let others bully him.

"Guo Tu, go inquire and see if the Zhen family has a caravan buying grain recently. Pass by nearby and grab the grain for me!"

"promise!"

Chapter 26

[In the previous chapter, I added [-] words to make up for yesterday's chapter! 】

"Report!"

Cao Shuo was inspecting the camp outside the city. Twenty thousand fine horses bought from Youzhou, and a guard from the mansion ran up to Cao Shuo in a panic.

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, Madam Zhen is in a hurry to find you!"

"Deng Zhan, you choose [-] war horses and send them to Zilong!"

"promise!"

Cao Shuo rode a red rabbit horse and returned to the city with Lu Wen.

Zhen Jiang hurriedly greeted him, and said:

"Husband, a batch of grain and grass we bought from Qingzhou was robbed by a group of officers and soldiers when we passed through Xiu County."

"The officers and soldiers took it away?"

Cao Shuo was so angry that someone finally couldn't sit still.

Although Xiu County belongs to Bohai County, it borders Hejian Kingdom to the north, Anping Kingdom to the west, and Qinghe Kingdom and Pingyuan County to the south.

This is a veritable no-five zone.

"Have you found out where the other party is from?"

"It's the costume of Yuan Shao's department in Bohai County!"

"Oh? Really!"

Cao Shuo suddenly showed a strange smile. Such a Yuan Shao, he robbed food and grass so blatantly that he didn't even try to hide it.

"Report!"

When Cao Shuo was thinking about how to get the grain back, a guard ran in.

"What's the matter?"

"Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao sent envoys here!"

"Let him in!"

Unexpectedly, he dared to send an envoy over at this time, Yuan Shao really didn't take himself seriously.

"Chen Lin, Lieutenant of the Bohai Sea, met Cao Guoxiang and Miss Zhen!"

"Yo, the head of the general is promoted now?"

Chen Lin was taken aback, she didn't expect Cao Shuo to know that he had been the chief secretary of a great general.

"Cao Guoxiang was joking. Good birds choose trees to live in. He Jin has no ambitions and doesn't listen to people's words. It chills the hearts of us to persuade ministers."

"It's a good bird to choose a tree to live in. How does Mr. Kong Zhang feel about me and Yuan Shao's force?"

"This...my lord may not be as good as Cao Guoxiang!"

"Mr. Kong Zhang, what do you think of me and Yuan Shao's financial resources?"

As Cao Shuo said, he hugged Zhen Jiang into his arms and raised his eyebrows.

"This……"

"Look at the people of Hejian County, who is happier than Bohai County!"

"This……"

Chen Lin felt a burst of contempt in her heart. You have given Bohai to Huo Huo's people's lives, so what's more important.

"I heard that Mr. Kong Zhang is known as one of the seven sons of Jian'an. How about I write a poem and help me evaluate it?"

"Cao Guoxiang can also compose poetry?"

This time, not only Chen Lin was surprised, but also Zhen Jiang beside her. She had never seen Cao Shuo write a poem.

"Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass. Yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken."

"Nice poem!"

Chen Lin has read thousands of volumes since she was a child, and this poem is definitely not plagiarized.

"Mr. Kong Zhang, can this poem compare to Yuan Shao's?"

"This……"

Chen Lin was speechless, wondering when Yuan Shao would compose poems.

"Mr. Kong Zhang, Yuan Shao is wide-ranging and incessant. He likes to plan but seldom decides. He likes to make great achievements. He is really a mediocre talent. Why don't you take refuge under my command?"

"This……"

Chen Lin wanted to say that loyal ministers do not matter to two masters, but he had already blocked his way just now.

"I'm in the prison in Luoyang. I have nothing to do. I have written thousands of poems, which need to be sorted out. I wonder if Mr. Kong Zhang is interested?"

"Thousands of articles?"

Chen Lin looked at Cao Shuo in horror, is it easier for you to write poetry than to eat and drink?

As far as he knows, Cao Shuo only stayed in the prison in Luoyang City for more than ten days, how could he write thousands of articles.

Even if you are bragging, you have to brag modestly.

"Mr. Kong Zhang doesn't believe it? Why don't Mr. Kong Zhang stay here for a few days, take me to find my food and grass, and tidy up for Mr. Kong Zhang!"

"The purpose of my visit this time is to talk about the grain and grass. My lord wants to buy this batch of grain and grass at a price of [-] yuan per stone."

"One hundred dollars per stone?"

Zhen Jiang's face turned ugly instantly. She bought this batch of grain and grass from Qingzhou, and it cost seven hundred yuan a stone.

"Jiang'er, how much is this batch of grain?"

"Three, thirty thousand stones!"

"Thirty thousand? I remember it was one hundred thousand!"

Cao Shuo blinked at Zhen Jiang, Zhen Jiang understood, and hurriedly changed his words:

"Uh, my concubine made a mistake, it's one hundred thousand stones!"

Chen Lin was speechless for a while. It was obvious that there was only [-] shi. With just a few words between you two, the price of grain was increased by ten times.

"Cao Guoxiang has only [-] shi for food and grass!"

"I said one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand."

"Cao Guoxiang..."

Cao Shuo interrupted Chen Lin directly, and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Kong Zhang, first live in Hejian country for a few days to experience the customs and customs of Hejian, and then I will let you see how I got my hundred thousand stones of grain and grass."

"The next official still needs to go back and report to my lord, it is not convenient to stay here for a while!"

Seeing that Cao Shuo was going to be forcibly detained, Chen Lin panicked.

"Go back? The customs and customs in Hejian are hospitable!"
