Liu Penzi said: "Sir, I believe there is a suitable candidate to help our army communicate with the outside world."

"I think Zhai Quchang can take charge of the grain purchase."

"Your Majesty, I... the military affairs are complicated, and I really can't get rid of it." Zhai Xing refused sincerely, with an anxious look on his face.

Zhai Xing and others are actually half-aged children. They have lived in the Red Eyebrow Army since childhood. They are familiar with the things in the camp and have limited understanding of the outside world. The Yulin Army is the child soldier of the Red Eyebrow Army. They are the environment they are familiar with, so they can be competent for management. However, when going out for trade, especially during wars, they must be used to business and have a fixed channel for purchases. People who are familiar with the situation in various places must not find any way.

Zhai Xing knew himself, so he refused to take on this job. Liu Penzi also thought he was not suitable. Judging from Zheng Shen's appearance, he must have a suitable candidate, but in order to avoid the suspicion of using public interest, he refused to speak out.

Liu Penzi said: "I am afraid that the Red Eyebrow Army will not be trusted by others. In this matter, Mr. Zheng is more careful and will use it from Zhai Xing for how much money it costs. It is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of hungry people. Sir, don't give in to others."

Zheng Shen was not able to push any further, so he had to say: "The local Shang Sun family has a commercial road that leads to all seas. They often go to Shangjun and the north to buy fur and other goods. His son, Sun Bada, has old friends with me, and may rely on his commercial road to buy food."

"Mr. Zheng, although there are still tens of thousands of stones of grain in the warehouse, according to my opinion, there will be more and more hungry people in the past few days. I don't know how many people near counties will come to hear the news. Within a few days, it may exceed 100,000. The food shortage is still very large. I need food, the more, the better, the faster, the better! Saving the people is like putting out fires. The hungry people are coming for this stuttering, and tens of thousands of people are hungry. I am anxious!"

Zheng Shen said: "I will urge Sun Bada to set off tomorrow, and it will take about two months to..."

"No, two months are too slow. One month, at most one month, within one month, 20,000 shi of grain will be transported over. The price of grain is 30% higher than the current price."

"After three years old? Your Majesty, the money in the inner treasury... is enough, enough!" Zhai Xing couldn't bear to bear the money, but he was a person who had been hungry and knew that taste. At the critical moment, food is easier to use than money.

"Also," Liu Penzi said again: "I want to plant 5,000 stones of wheat, which is the kind of wheat that grows in winter and autumn harvest in the Sanjin Dynasty. This is not urgent, and it can be slowed down for a while. If Sun Bada can raise 20,000 stones of grain within one month, he can be a long-term supplier of the Yulin Army in the future. If it cannot be done, I have to find someone else."

"I will bring Sun Bada to discuss with His Majesty himself."

Liu Penzi waved his hand, "Just leave these things to Mr. Zheng, I feel relieved!"

"Your Majesty, if you store money and cloth in the warehouse, it is enough to buy 20,000 stones of grain, but the price of wheat seeds is several times that of grain. The money of wheat seeds of 5,000 stones is not enough!" Zhai Xing was so anxious that he spoke plainly.

"So I said there is no hurry. Wait a few more days, those stupid...those dear battalions will be given more money."

"What should Your Majesty spend wheat seeds? Your Majesty doesn't have to farm."

Zheng Shen and Luo You also had questions about this, and the three of them looked at the little emperor in unison.

Liu Pengzi smiled slightly, "I just want to farm. Not only do I want to farm, but I also want to let the people farm. When hungry people farm, I want to farm!"

Military farming was the only magic weapon that Cao Cao stood out from many separatist forces at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also an important measure for the Ming Dynasty's Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to win the world. In this special period of wars and chaos, military farming and accumulation of grain was a very effective means.

"Who said I want to buy food?" Liu Pengzi said coldly.

Zheng Shen was stunned, "What does Your Majesty mean? Or do you want to rob... to collect grain?"

Liu Penzi smiled and said, "Sir, this is not just to collect grain for the Han army, but more importantly, it is to provide relief to the victims. It is a major event to save millions of people. We must believe that the people of Guanzhong are enlightened, especially those wealthy families, who are scholars and disciples of saints. They should know the etiquette and know the right and wrong. If they really don't distinguish right and wrong and cannot achieve enlightenment, we still have the Yulin Army, right? Under the guidance of Mr., the Yulin soldiers can now read and be able to reason with others. In this way, the Sima of the Army wrote a few edicts on my behalf, and sent people to send me the imperial edicts to the nearby walls of the docks, so that they could send more money and grain to the Zheng County Palace. In the past, there was a robbery by the Han army. Many soldiers were not polite and had me here to ensure that they were unobstructed."

Zheng Shen heard it, the mountains were foggy, and the Yulin Army was able to read and reason to others. How to reason, isn’t it going to fight? Just these baby soldiers can defeat even a wall? Isn’t this a mess?

The meeting was held for a long time, and according to the opinions of the young emperor, several methods of raising grain were decided: buying grain, collecting grain, and farming. Zhai Xing prepared money and silk for purchase of grain. Zheng Shen contacted Sun Bada and used his business channels to complete it. The little emperor wanted to arrest the grain in person, and Luo You assisted; Luo You was also responsible for military garrisons, and Zheng Shen was responsible for farming for hungry people, and Qian You was his deputy.

As for disaster relief, it has gradually gotten on the right track. Because Wang Erlenzi is extremely passionate about disaster relief operations and has burst out with great enthusiasm for work, the disaster relief order in the city is unprecedentedly good. However, after setting the tone of military farming, it is probably necessary to slowly change the methods of disaster relief. At present, Confucian scholars will do some personnel statistics first.

After the meeting, Zheng Shen immediately went to find Sun Bada and brought him to meet His Majesty the Emperor. Sun Bada is a simple-looking and smart person. After learning about the emperor's request, Sun Bada said that they had already made the commercial roads in Shangjun. If they were to buy 20,000 stones of grain in a month, it would be very feasible, because such a commodity as grain, Ganquan, Diaoyin, Luochuan, etc., there is a daily squatter in Ganzhou, Diaoyin, Luochuan and other places along the line of Luoshui. There is no need to temporarily collect grain from Shangjun. The grain ship can go downstream and reach Huayin. However, due to the recent chaos in the military, commercial activities have been stagnant. Because Gengshi Army and the Red Eyebrow Army fought each other along the way, if they unfortunately encountered it, they would not only lose all their money, but also worry about their lives. Therefore, the one-month period still seemed more tense.

Liu Penzi knew that this was the prelude to bargaining. If the business was not done, he would not have run over and said so much. His Majesty the Emperor immediately expressed his price increase, from the original 30% increase to 50% increase, so that Zhai Xing next to him could directly suck the air conditioner.

Sun Bada smiled bitterly and said, "Speaking of this, when the war is in chaos, the price is several times, and the common people dare not do it. But the common people knows that His Majesty buys grain to provide disaster relief and to save the lives of the people of the Sanfu. These are all the relatives of the common people. Although the common people are vulgar, they still want to do it, but they don't make any money. The common people are willing to do it. But now... it is not a matter of grain prices, but transportation."

The grains in Shangjun can go south along the Luo River, with twists and turns and many canyons. Although the route is not particularly ideal, it is still stable and accessible. The trouble is that Zheng County does not have waterways. If you want to transport it to Zheng County, you must take a section of land, and the risks on land are too great. Even if the Sun family is well-informed, they will not be able to afford to encounter Gengshi Army and Red Eyebrow Army, which are thieves, no matter which one is born, he will not be able to mess with them.

His Majesty the Emperor of Han fully understood Sun Bada's difficulties and stated that when delivering goods at the ferry, the transportation of the land part was the Yulin Army. After repeated negotiations, the two sides decided to use Chongquandu as the delivery location, and the price was increased by 30% compared with the current price, and the delivery time was within one month.

Chongquan is located more than 200 miles north of Zheng County, and at that time, it is necessary to use the cattle stable to pick up the goods.

After Sun Bada came out, he kept wiping his sweat and whispered to Zheng Shen: "Mr. Zheng, I risk my life to do this business because I am all about your face. Can this little emperor really keep his word? Isn't he robbing like a red-eyed thief? Will he still pay as agreed when he gets the food?"

"Since you are worried, why did you refuse the deposit?"

"I dare not, but now I have received the deposit, and I may be robbed on the way home. It is better to clear the money and goods in Chongqing Du. I just happened to transport the money and silk with the ship. Shangjun is still safe now."

Zheng Shen said: "What you do today is a good thing to benefit your hometown. If His Majesty the Emperor wins the world in the future, your Sun family will have a better chance of becoming bigger and even becoming a wealthy person in the world."
