Yanzhou, Puyang City,

After Cao Cao finished reading Cao Ang's letter, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile,

"It turns out that there is so much oil and water in Qingzhou!

He handed the letter to Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others.

Xun Yu couldn't help but praise,

"Childe is really talented!

"The Qingzhou Shi clan sent the refugees away and sold the goods short"

"The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has also found a way out!"

"Childe has gained more than 500,000 people, and he has made a lot of money!"

Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai both nodded,

"Childe is talented, it's better to be some!"

Cao Cao was very proud, no matter how good his son was, he was like him!

Although he was ridiculed by Old Lady Cao, the eldest grandson is much stronger than him!

Chen Gong secretly sighed in his heart, this Cao Ang's ability is real, but it is a pity that the Cao family and his son have killed too much, and they are too ruthless to the Shi clan.

He hugged his fists,

"Ming Gong, Gongzi brought more than 500,000 people this time, food consumption must be greater, this year Yanzhou, Yuzhou are drought and little rain, and locust plagues have appeared in some places!"

Cao Cao remembered Cao Ang's entrustment and frowned,

"Zi Yu has calculated, plus this year's autumn harvest, we can barely eat next year's grain harvest"

"When the time comes, we will see if we can buy more food from all over the country."

Cao Cao and Cao Ang have already dug a big pit, waiting for the scholars of Yanzhou to jump down, and the bait is food!

Cheng Yu said again, 09 "Lord, our army plans to use troops against Tao Qian after the autumn, and the food will also start to be prepared."

Xun Yu hugged his fist,

"Ming Gong, can you postpone the attack on Xuzhou, our army can't afford to consume this battle?"

Cao Cao snorted,

"Woe to the family, Tao Qian's old man is shameless and despicable, he must be made to pay the price!"

"There is no need to discuss the expedition!"

"No!"

Chen Gong secretly scolded in his heart, Cao's father and son were too ugly, with 500,000 more mouths, and they had to beat Xuzhou.

After Chen Gong went down, he gave these things to the scholars of Yanzhou.

The scholars began to quietly buy grain, intending to make a lot of money, so that the Cao family and his son would have no grain and grass to buy.

Zhen Jiang and Mi Zhen soon learned about this and reported the matter to Cao Ang, everything was in the plan.

Cao Ang began to lead more than 500,000 people to Yanzhou, passed through Langya County, and accepted another 60,000 or 70,000 refugees, bringing the total to 600,000.

In the first year of Xingping, on the occasion of summer and autumn,

A major earthquake occurred in the Chang'an area of Guannai, followed by another violent aftershock;

In many places inside and outside the Guan, there was not a drop of rain from April to July, the grain harvest was very bad, and the price of rice quickly soared.

The people ate each other, starved to death, and the drought soon hit Yanzhou.

The reduction of grain production is inevitable, who knew that another locust plague broke out in Yanzhou in August, and crops in many places were not harvested!

The Great Famine that swept across the Central Plains occurred.

The price of grain in Yanzhou and Yuzhou is one price a day, and the people cannot buy grain.

The granary of the Cao father and son was visibly empty.

Xingyang City,

Mi Zhen and Zhen Jiang reported to Cao Ang,

"Xianggong, our army only has enough food to eat for three months on the surface"

"The grain that the husband asked us to secretly store is enough for our people to eat until next winter."

"Although the production of our army's military tun has also been reduced, the Xianggong has organized the people to build water conservancy, dig deep fields, raise chickens and ducks to eat insect eggs in the soil, and the military tun has been affected very little. "

Mi Zhen and Zhen Jiang glanced at each other, Xiang Gong was too far-sighted.

Cao Ang sighed,

"Our two million people have enough to eat, but unfortunately there are countless hungry people in some places in Yanzhou and Yuzhou!"

Zhen Mi on the side said hatefully,

"Brother-in-law, they are all those shameless warriors, hoarding and strange, the price of grain is one price a day, how can the people afford to buy food"

Cao Ang smiled mysteriously,

"They think they can make a lot of money, so I let them lose all their money!"

"Come here, let the husband give you a detailed explanation"

Zhen Mi was the first to come over, and immediately blushed, and his brother-in-law seemed to be teaching his mother to go over.

Cao Ang began to explain to them the method.

Zhen Jiang and Mi Zhen's eyes widened,

"Xianggong, you are simply a business wizard!"

"Woo woo, that's amazing!"

Mi Zhen hugged Cao Ang's arm,

"Xianggong, you asked the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Military Transport Specialty to come over before, it was already a stroke of genius, and now you want to kill those profiteers, it's good!"

Cao Ang leaned into her ear,

"Serve your husband well, and I'll teach you a few tricks later!"

Mi Zhen's head is lit into a rattle, and he is really wished!

Zhen Mi also wants her brother-in-law to teach her a few tricks~

Yanzhou, Puyang City,

Cao Cao angrily slapped the case,

"What?"

"The Zhen family and the Mi family just shipped a batch of grain, and it was robbed on the same day?"

Xun Yu sighed,

"Ming Gong, the grain sent by Gongzi not only did not reduce the price of grain, but also increased the price of grain by three percent!"

"Someone among them must be hoarding!"

Cheng Yu also said,

"My lord, some people deliberately buy grain and continue to speculate on the price of grain for profit"

Cao Cao seemed to be angry and ordered officials at all levels to investigate the matter thoroughly, but unfortunately there was no follow-up. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After that, the Zhen family, the Mi family, and other merchants transported grain to Yanzhou several times, but they were still bought by those scholars with money.

The price of grain in Yanzhou has not decreased, but has directly doubled!

Next, it was Cao Ang's turn to go out in person,

He organized the people to transport a large amount of grain from Xingyang again, and it is said that this batch of grain is Cao Ang's limit.

Cao Ang came to Yanzhou to complain to his father, and the two seemed to have a fight.

Cao Cao suspected that Cao Ang had little support,

Cao Ang said that Xingyang and Yingchuan also began to famine!

Later, under the mediation of Mrs. Cao, the two stopped arguing.

This incident was spreading in Yanzhou.

Dozens of representatives of the Yanzhou scholar clan, such as Zhang Chao, Xu Yan, Wang Kai, Chen Liugao, and other representatives of the scholar clan, quietly discussed secretly in the mansion in Puyang City.

Zhang Chao said excitedly,

"Everyone, the more fierce the quarrel between the Cao family and his son, it means that they are at the end of their rope!"

"As long as we buy these last grains and grasses, Cao Cao will definitely have no grain available!"

Gao Kai frowned,

"I still want to buy it, I've run out of money, and I've borrowed a lot!"

Zhang Chao has an expression that you are a fool,

"You don't want to think about it, we have collected the grain, the Cao family and his son have no grain and grass, the soldiers are almost out of food, the price of grain must not soar, and we will make a lot of money just around the corner!"

The eyes of the other scholars are bright, and they are short of the last strength, even if the price of grain is more than ten times the price now, they have to buy it!

"It's okay, I mortgaged my family's property!"

"My house is also mortgaged, and after that, there will be no food, no matter how expensive it is, these untouchables will have to buy it!"

These scholars dreamed of making a fortune one by one, gritted their teeth, and directly stud all of them!

The three ancestors and grandchildren of the Cao family are discussing secretly in the inner room,

Cao Cao smiled,

"Ziyu, so-and-so's acting skills are not bad, I deceived those people"

Cao Ang hasn't spoken yet,

Cao Song snorted,

Everyone knows that you are rare, and you don't have any transition, so you start scolding? Fortunately, the old man gave you a round!"

Cao Cao's eyelids jumped, this dad is really, he also wants to save face.

At this moment, Guo Jia hurriedly walked in,

"General, the grain of the Zhen family and the Mi family Chamber of Commerce has been bought by many people at a high price!"

"Now the granary of the Zhen 183 family and the Mi family in Puyang City has bottomed out."

Cao Cao slapped the table angrily,

"Shameless, these people don't want to give the people a way to live!"

Guo Jia said again,

These people also borrowed a lot of money from some money houses such as Mijia and Zhen Jiang, and the interest rate was very high, and they all mortgaged their fields, houses, shops, and so on. "

Cao Song snorted,

"They're going to earn it all at once"

"If there is no food to eat, the people will starve to death, and the people will grit their teeth to buy food, these people want to earn the last five-baht coin of the people!"

Cao Ang smiled,

"Not only that, they also want to make the whole Yanzhou unstable and shake my father's foundation"

Cao Cao's eyes were already red,

"Ziyu, this time we must let them go bankrupt!"

"Definitely!"

Beginning the next day, the Mi family, the Zhen family, and some conscientious grain merchants ran out of food.

The grain of several big cities in Yanzhou has directly doubled!

The common people complained, but there was no way, fortunately, they bought some before, and now they can only live one day at a time.

Unfortunately, food prices continue to rise, making them all desperate.

At this time, the Mi family and the Zhen family brought another batch of grain.

Zhang Chao and the others were going to be numb, they gritted their teeth and continued to buy them all!

Three days later, another batch of grain arrived,

The stewards of the Mi family and the Zhen family assured that this time was really the last batch of grain.

What should the Shi clan do, they can only bankrupt their families and let people continue to buy them!

As a result, two days later, another shipment of grain arrived,

These speculative scholars in Yanzhou almost collapsed, the landlord's family really has no money left, and everyone is now carrying a loan shark with nine out of thirteen!

They scraped together and bought sixty percent of the grain again.

Cao Ang knew that they really had no money now, and it was finally their turn to appear at this time! .
