Chapter 45

Liu Yi looked around and saw a group of iron-clad men. They were all good at killing enemies. If they were asked to manage the place, they would probably be the first and the first.

"From now on, Zilong will lead the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army to take over Xiangping City and handle all matters in the city. If anyone makes trouble, they will be arrested as a rioter."

Zhao Yun bowed and took the order.

"Pei Yuanshao, Guan Hai obeys the order!"

The two left the line and took the order and said, "The last one is here!"

"Lead the Ruishi Camp and Qingzhou Camp to station troops in Wangping City, north of Liaodong, and resist the Xianbei foreign tribes in the north. If any bandits attack, they will repay them as soon as possible!"

"promise!"

Liu Yi turned his gaze to Zhoucang again and said in a deep voice: "Zhoucang will renovate the Yellow Turban Strongman from now on, establish Liaodongying, and station the Bianfang County."

Zhou Cang stepped forward and bowed to take the order.

As for Li Yuanba, Liu Yi could only let him stay in Xiangping City. This guy had nothing to say when fighting and eating was even more fierce, but it was really hard for him to train troops and manage the place.

...

“Sign in!”

"The sign-in is 100 yuan successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining one god-level attribute pill and one hundred taels of gold."

Time flies. It has been a full hundred days since Liu Yi arrived in the Later Han Dynasty. It is now mid-August, and it has been almost a month since he entered Liaodong.

"Absorb the attribute pill, specify the attribute as force."

"Absorption is completed, the host attributes have been updated as follows."

【Name】: Liu Yi

【Military power】: 65(605)

【Intellect】: 80

【Commander】: 60

【Politics】: 50

【Item】: None

【Divine Weapon】: None

【Type of Arms】: Xuanjia Army (one of the eight major cavalry)

【Mountain】: The horse on the clouds and the dark horse (the king of horses)

【Skill】: None

Looking at his attribute panel, Liu Yi was really mixed in his heart. No one envied Xiang Yu's martial arts power in ancient times. Putting aside this, the reason why Liu Yi is currently dedicated to increasing his strength is more about self-protection. As the commander, if he really has no power to tie a chicken, how can he be proud of the battlefield?

The situation in Liaodong seems to be calm, but in fact it is already dangerous.

"Master!"

Zhao Yun walked in quickly and bowed and said, "Lord, there is a shortage of food in Xiangping City. Hundreds of people gathered outside the prefect's mansion to let the lord open the warehouse to release the grain."

Liu Yi stared at Zhao Yun in surprise and asked, "Zilong, how much surplus grain does the treasury have?"

Zhao Yun said with a depressed look on his face: "Lord, there is no spare grain in the treasury, I'm afraid there is no rat."

"What?"

Liu Yi shouted in shock.

Zhao Yun explained: "After taking over Xiangping City, he sent someone to the treasury to count the grain. Unexpectedly, someone had already tampered with the treasury. There was only a thin layer of grain on the surface and all of weeds underneath."

"grass!"

Liu Yi couldn't help but swear, it was such a lie! It seemed that he, the prefect of Liaodong, was really unpopular.

I think it is true that Liaodong is located in the border, with high mountains and far away emperors. The position of prefect has been vacant for five years. These borers have corroded Liaodong.

Food is the most important thing for people, and food is the foundation. This matter can be big or small. If you are not careful, it will be another civil rebellion.

"Zilong, I heard that Gongsun Xiong in the city is a merchant family, and there must be surplus grain in the mansion. He can send someone to buy some, then open a porridge shop to provide relief, and after the autumn harvest is over, some will be drawn from other places."

Zhao Yun shook his head and sighed: "Lord, the price of grain has risen now, and it has become one stone of ten thousand yuan."

"grass!"

Liu Yi swears again, "A profiteer!" The price has risen hundreds of times, and he is indeed quite brave.

"Isn't it just a ten thousand yuan in one stone! It's just a small amount of money."

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Yi in surprise and muttered to himself: Lord, let alone helping the refugees in the city, even if we support ourselves, it will cost a lot of money. What should we do now?

Liu Yi shouted, "Zilong, follow me to Gongsun Xiong's shop."

Gongsun Xiong's grain was spread out in the west of the city, not far from the prefect's mansion. The two changed their clothes and had nothing to do with ordinary people. They walked over and saw refugees begging everywhere along the way.

But there was no one outside the grain shop, and the one-stone hanging high made people stop.

"How much does this food cost per stone?"

Liu Yi asked the shopkeeper on purpose.

The shopkeeper had a long scar on his face, with a fierce face, big eyes and thick neck, and was very ugly. His surname was Wang Minggui. He had killed someone in his early years and was nicknamed Scar King.

"It's written outside, it's ten thousand yuan a stone."

Scar King shouted coldly.

Liu Yi said to himself: "A ten thousand coins per stone, ten thousand coins are one or two taels of gold. I'll ask for all the food your shop has."

"ah!"

King Scar never expected that Liu Yi would dare to be so arrogant.

"What a big tone, I wonder if you can take out so much money!"

Liu Yi said calmly: "It's just a small amount of money, so what's the point. I'm afraid you can't make the decision. You ask Gongsun Xiong to come out and make a note to avoid someone going back on his word."

Scar King snorted coldly: "Should you wait for me!"

After waiting for half an hour, Gongsun Xiong walked slowly over under the escort of a team of servants.

"Who is such a big tone? You are not afraid of flashing your tongue."

Gongsun Xiong was over fifty years old and looked graceful and wealthy. His eyes were raised high, and he did not see Liu Yi and Zhao Yun at all.

Zhao Yun was angry and was about to have anger. Liu Yi pulled him and said to Gongsun Xiong: "If you dare to sell, I dare to buy it. I am afraid that there will be not much food in your small broken shop."

"Ha ha……"

Gongsun Xiong laughed to the sky and said, "Looking at the entire Xiangping City, who dares to say that I, Gongsun Xiong, have no grain? Tell me, how much do you want?"

Liu Yi slowly stretched out five fingers.

"I think I'm so generous. Isn't it just fifty stones? It's really unlucky!"

Gongsun Xiong complained.

Liu Yi smiled and said, "No, it's not fifty stones!"

"Five hundred stones?"

Gongsun Xiong was in a state of interest. If this kid could really buy five hundred stones of food, wouldn’t he be rich again?

"No, it's not five hundred stones, I want five thousand stones."

"What! Five Thousand Stones, you...you said it was not wrong!"

Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "That's right, it's only five thousand stones. Could it be that Gongsun Xiong, a wealthy family in Liaodong, can't even take out 5 thousand stones of grain? It's really a big laugh."

Five thousand stones, this is not a small amount. Gongsun Xiong has a big family and a big business. Five thousand stones of grain does exist, but that is the addition of the business in the entire Liaodong. Now the grain in Xiangping City is only close to four thousand stones. (Additional explanation from the unit of measurement, 1 stone in the late Eastern Han Dynasty = 4 jin = 120 jin.)

Looking at Gongsun Xiong's deep face, Liu Yi deliberately sarcastically said: "It's indeed a bit unlucky to not even take out five thousand stones of grain!"

"It's really not useful!"

"If there is no food, what kind of food shop will be opened!"

...

Under Liu Yi's verbal teasing, how could Gongsun Xiong bear it? Besides, if he could really sell 5,000 stones of grain, wouldn't he have made a fortune?

"My Gongsun Xiong has been in Liaodong for decades. How much is the only five thousand stones of grain? I will collect all of them for you within five days."

Liu Yi deliberately muttered: "It will take another five days! It's such a slap!"

"I will raise all of you within three days. If you can't bring the money within three days, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Isn't it just five thousand taels of gold? Then don't be too lazy. You and I will make a deposit and I will send the money here."

Liu Yi shouted immediately.

Looking at Liu Yi's indifferent look, Gongsun Xiong couldn't help but look at it carefully. He had never seen this kid before!

Shu'er, Gongsun Xiong wrote the document, and Liu Yi and Gongsun Xiong signed and pressed their handprints one by one.

Liu Yi took the document and then returned to the prefect's mansion with a smirk.

Not to mention, Liu Yi now has 6,000 taels of gold in his hand. He immediately took 5,000 taels of gold and handed it to Zhao Yun, and ordered: "Zilong, take the quotation and go to get the grain, and count it for me to have a full pound, and it is not enough to have a small pound."

"In addition, from now on, the city gate will be closed for five days. No one is allowed to enter and exit. Those who violate the order will be executed as rioters."

"Abide by the order!"

Looking at the five-neck box filled with gold, Zhao Yun felt that his lord was really unfathomable for the first time! When he moved from Zhuo County, he didn't see a car that pulled gold!
