Chapter 845 On the Speed of Changing Faces
If millions of people have nothing to eat and riot, it will be a catastrophic crisis!
Wei Ji would rather take the blame for Liu Zhang than take the attitude of taking one step at a time.
Food and grass cannot be transformed casually. It takes a long time for the seeds to grow in the ground.
Liu Zhang naturally knew this, and was about to explain when he saw a figure appearing at the gate of the palace.
"Bo Miao!"
Liu Zhang exclaimed, and then showed joy.
Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, and finally looking forward to Deng Zhi's return!
Liu Zhang stood up immediately, and couldn't even wait for Deng Zhi to walk in front of him.
Wei Ji didn't know who Deng Zhi was, but seeing Liu Zhang attaching so much importance to him, he also got up and greeted him.
"Bo Miao, you are back!"
Deng Zhi trotted forward all the way, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Liu Zhang.
"Meet Duke Qin!"
Looking at the dusty, Deng Zhi who was still panting heavily at the moment. Liu Zhang felt a little moved in his heart.
Deng Zhi certainly didn't dare to delay this journey, I'm afraid he came running into Chang'an!
"Bo Miao, you've worked hard! How many war horses did Cai Mao buy?"
Liu Zhang wanted to give Deng Zhi a break, but Nai He was too anxious.
Whether the immigration can go smoothly or not depends entirely on the results of Deng Zhi's mission to Jingzhou.
Deng Zhi hurriedly took several breaths. She wanted to calm down her body, but she didn't expect her panting to be even worse.
Liu Zhang was so anxious, Deng Zhi could only raise two fingers in a panic, to give Liu Zhang a hint first.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Zhang saw the two fingers, he was taken aback for a moment, and then became furious.
"Cai Mao, that bastard, really doesn't know what's good!"
"I gave him 500 shi a horse and he still thinks it's too expensive, he really deserves to die!"
"Damn it, Jingzhou is so poor, can you just come up with a million stones of grain and grass?"
"I'm so pissed off! Cai Mao deserves to be beaten by Liu Bei for being mentally handicapped! Definitely!"
Liu Zhang pointed at the door and cursed bitterly. He still couldn't get rid of his anger after cursing, and even danced with his hands and feet, wishing he could beat Cai Mao to death on the spot.
I really can't think too well!
Liu Zhang originally thought that after this disastrous defeat, Cai Mao would need at least 5,000 war horses, so that he could exchange 2.5 million stones for food and grass.
In this way, Yizhou will not have much pressure to transport grain, and Guanzhong can at least last until next year's autumn harvest!
What is this one million stones enough for? This year, I can't even get through it!
Wei Ke at the side was completely stunned, he had seen Liu Zhang get angry, but he had never seen Liu Zhang insulting others like this, let alone General Jingzhou.
As for five hundred shi a horse or something, I was even more confused.
However, Liu Zhang was in a violent state, and Wei Ji didn't dare to intervene, so he could only stand aside silently.
At this moment, Deng Zhi finally breathed evenly, and quickly opened his mouth to explain.
"Duke Qin, it's not two thousand horses..."
"what!"
Liu Zhang's eyes widened and he jumped up.
"I'm really the master of Japan. Send us a hundred thousand stones of food and grass?"
"Without the Jingnan four counties, Cai Mao will not be able to get rid of it!"
"This bastard...!"
Deng Zhi waved her hands again and again, and hurriedly opened her mouth to explain.
"No no no! It's 20,000 horses!"
Hearing the word Wan, Liu Zhang stopped cursing and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"How much... how much?"
Deng Zhi was not surprised when he saw Liu Zhang's appearance, because he also had this expression at the beginning.
"Duke Qin, Cai Mao wants 20,000 horses! It is agreed to trade in Wuguan in half a month!"
With such skill, Liu Zhang fell from hell to the eighteenth floor of hell, and then jumped to heaven!
Grain and grass dropped sharply from one million stones to one hundred thousand stones, and then increased sharply to ten million stones!
Liu Zhang patted his cheek hard with his hand, feeling the pain, so that he could know that this was not a dream.
Immediately ecstasy!
"Hahaha! Good! Good!"
"As expected of Degui, good brother! Hahaha!"
It's great to have all the problems solved!
With this ten million stone grain and grass, it is enough to support Guanzhong to be self-sufficient!
Liu Zhang was so excited that he didn't care about Wei Ji and Deng Zhi, and ran wildly in the hall on his own.
Happiness came so suddenly!
Wei Ji was very puzzled and could only look at Bo Miao whom Liu Zhang was talking about.
"Under the guard, it's Jing Zhaoyin who was just appointed by Duke Qin. I don't know who it is, sir?"
"Jing Zhaoyin!"
Deng Zhi exclaimed, and hurriedly bowed her hands in salute.
"I was engaged in Deng Zhi in Lower Yizhou, and I met Master Wei!"
"You don't have to be polite about Deng's work. This is Mr. Qin?"
Although Wei Ji was very kind, Deng Zhi did not dare to be rude.
Deng Zhi had never heard of the name Wei Ke, so he didn't expect to be directly appointed as Jing Zhaoyin!
It can be seen that Wei covets the position in Liu Zhang's heart.
"Your Excellency Wei doesn't know that Duke Qin ordered me to go to Jingzhou to exchange horses for food and grass."
I see!
Wei Xie finally understood why Liu Zhang said that the grain and grass had been secured, and it turned out that horses were exchanged for grain!
"Deng Shi, five hundred stones for a war horse?"
Deng Zhi nodded.
"good!"
Cheap! What a bargain!
It's even a bit cheap!
Wei Ji has been dealing with the Huns for decades, and he has never had such a favorable price!
Not to mention five hundred stones in Jingxiang, you can't even buy them in the three prefectures of You and Bingliang!
Suddenly, Wei Ji gasped twice, and then looked at Deng Zhi in shock.
"Hey, Deng Zong said just now, how much does Cai Mao buy?"
Deng Zhi stretched out two fingers again, and then showed a smug smile.
"Twenty thousand horses!"
Wei Ji's eyes widened unconsciously, and his mouth was so startled that he could swallow an egg!
He finally experienced Liu Zhang's feelings personally.
Why are you talking incoherently and haven't stopped until now?
Twenty thousand horses!
Isn't that ten million stone grain and grass?
This is a number that will shock everyone's jaws!
Wei Ke couldn't even imagine what it would be like if this number came to Cao Cao's ears.
When Cao Cao was still saving food and clothing to save 200,000 shi for food and grass, Liu Zhang easily got 10 million shi!
It took a long time for Liu Zhang to stabilize, and when he returned to Deng Zhi, he showed a hint of worry again.
"Bo Miao, can this Cai Mao produce so much food?"
With 10 million shi, Yizhou can produce this food for two years without eating or drinking!
"Duke Qin, I have repeatedly confirmed with Cai Mao. He said that with the strength of the Jingzhou family, we will definitely be able to use it!"
"By the way, Liu Biao has already agreed to forcibly drive out the people in Guanzhong, and when it's time to trade war horses, he will cede it to us along with Wuguan!"
Deng Zhi still believed in Cai Mao, after all, the current situation in Jingzhou was impossible to deceive Liu Zhang like this.
Unless Liu Biao's Jingzhou Mu doesn't want to sit, Cai Mao's Cai family doesn't want to either!
Otherwise, the Jingzhou family would rather offend everyone than Liu Zhang.
"Okay! I will let Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang lead the army to escort the horses, and take over the Wuguan."
"As long as Cai Mao dares to play tricks with me, I will teach him an unforgettable lesson!"
