Cao Cao, who was in a good mood, was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed slightly. Now that the food problem has been solved, what can he say about whether he will die or not? No one will die.
Cheng Yu’s words came out one after another...
"Mr. Cao, look at the granary in Shouzhang County. It seems to be full...but...except for the one hundred thousand stones sent by Mr. Lu Yu this time, the rest are all filled with thatch. Yu has not raised a single grain."
What?
Cao Cao's eyes widened in vain, such a large granary was actually empty? Then... what if there was no one hundred thousand stones donated by Lu Yu? What would Cheng Yu do?
Just when I thought of this, Cheng Yu's words came out.
"I originally had a plan, which, although it was a little unethical, was enough to solve the food disaster in Yanzhou. This plan was to dry out the dried meat of those who died of starvation and add it to the military rations for the soldiers to eat..."
"The grain disaster has not yet broken out in Yanzhou. Once it does, people will starve to death everywhere... People are dying of starvation everywhere, so this urgent need will definitely be solved!"
When Cheng Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "Zhongde is not afraid that if this matter is leaked, it will ruin your reputation for the rest of your life?"
"Haha..." Cheng Yu smiled bitterly. "What does my reputation mean? As long as I can help Mr. Cao survive this crisis, I am not afraid of being shattered into pieces!"
Cheng Yu said extremely firmly.
He is such a person, as long as he identifies who is the master, he will follow him to the death.
It is precisely because of this that when, according to ancient documents, Xun Yu and Cao Cao completely broke up over their treatment of the Han Dynasty, Cheng Yu...the counselor whom Xun Yu once recommended stood firmly on Cao Cao's side!
Of course…
Cheng Yu can continue to hide this matter, but paper can't hide fire after all. What he did today... will one day reach Cao Cao's ears.
Originally, this was nothing. It was all a temporary measure to solve the famine...the so-called emergency!
But now the situation is completely different. Lu Yu has food there. As long as there is food, Yanzhou is not in an emergency, and it cannot do such extraordinary things!
Cheng Yu was a magnanimous person and immediately reported everything on his mind to Cao Cao.
this…
Cao Cao frowned, hesitating for a moment, his mind kept spinning. Cheng Yu didn't talk long, but Cao Cao thought a lot, very far.
Huh... with a long exhale, Cao Cao finally raised his hand. Although he remained silent, he slapped Cheng Yu's shoulder heavily with his palm.
First he patted me lightly, and then patted me hard again...then I got on my horse and left slowly!
The whole process, without saying a word, seemed to have profound meaning...
How could Cheng Yu not understand what he meant?
Just imagine, if Lu Yu didn't have food today, who else in Yanzhou would solve this problem for Cao Cao?
Dried human flesh, haha, although it is harmful to the world, but you can't save your life, how can you care so much?
Cao Cao knew in his heart that Cheng Yu had no choice but to do this. What was even more valuable was that Cheng Yu planned to take the blame for Cao Cao!
With this courage, this heart, and this determination, when Xun Yu recommended him, the official title of Shouzhang Ling was really given to him.
now…
Cheng Yu stood there in a daze. Cao Cao's move once again made him sure that he had not chosen the wrong person or followed the wrong person.
He grinned and finally showed a wry smile. In the wry smile, what surprised him was that Lu Yu... this name that he heard people mention all the time recently, where did he... come from to conjure up these one hundred thousand stones of grain?
For a moment, Cheng Yu also became curious about Lu Yu.
"Who is this Lu Yu?"
At the same time, Cao Cao was galloping on his horse, and he felt a sense of fear in his heart.
If it weren't for "Yu'er", Cheng Yu would definitely do this "harmful" thing, and Cao Cao would definitely turn a blind eye!
Human flesh...how terrible and terrifying this is!
I'm afraid, now that I think about it, I'm still afraid again and again!
…
…
The next day…
Chenliu County, Cai Mansion.
Cao Cao rushed back to Chenliu County with Cao Xiu. He did not go back to the government office to summon Lu Yu immediately, but followed Cao Xiu directly to Lu Yu's residence "Cai Mansion".
The purpose of Cao Xiu's coming here is to regain his life, and the purpose of Cao Cao's coming here is to find out how these 100,000 stones of grain were conjured out of thin air!
Cao Xiu and Yu'er are already wearing the same pair of trousers, so they definitely can't figure it out. Now... if they want to see the light of day, they have no choice but to come and find Lu Yu!
As soon as I entered this house, I met Cai Zhaoji who was about to go out.
It turned out that Cai Zhaoji was going to buy fish. Brother Lu Yu liked to eat fish. The maids bought it, but Cai Zhaoji was worried, especially because brother Lu Yu also pointed out that he wanted to eat crucian carp...
The most important thing about crucian carp is freshness. Cai Zhaoji personally went to buy it early in the morning...
Of course, she didn't know brother Lu Yu's good intentions.
What kind of crucian carp does Lu Yu like to eat? He just knows that crucian carp soup is rich in collagen, which can enrich "that".
In Lu Yu's view, Sister Zhaoji is good at everything except peace...
However, recently, fortunately, with Lu Yu's special recipe arrangement, it has become a bit "ready to come out".
Lu Yu was very happy about this and must keep up the good work! Chicken feet and so on... as long as they are rich in collagen, everything is arranged. Lu Yu is a first-come-first-served person, so naturally he will not give others an advantage.
…
"Xianmei got up so early..." Cao Cao stopped to chat with Cai Zhaoji.
"Brother, I don't know, but my younger brother is a very picky eater. If I don't follow the recipe he ordered, I won't eat a bite... As a sister, I have no choice but to follow his wishes." Cai Zhaoji said calmly,
His tone was gentle, and he didn't mean to blame Lu Yu at all. Instead, he expressed deep concern and care...
"Haha..." Cao Cao said with a smile, "It's Xianmei who doesn't want others to do it. However, your brother is getting older, so it's hard for you to worry more."
Cao Cao was relieved to see Cai Zhaoji taking such good care of his son...
This kid, Yu'er, lost his mother when he was young, but he has an older sister who takes good care of him. This can be considered another kind of blessing.
As for the future...it seems that there is nothing wrong with making further progress!
If Cai Yan, the daughter of master Cai Yong, becomes his daughter-in-law, it seems to be a good thing... Anyway, they are not biological sisters. In other words, the deep love between siblings is childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts!
hey-hey…
Thinking of this, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth split open, revealing a sly smile.
Laughter, but...Cao Cao always wondered what was wrong. It was a bit awkward for Cai Yan's sister to call her brother one after another...She regarded herself as her brother, but he regarded her as...
This generation seems a bit chaotic!
"Ahem..." Cao Cao coughed lightly and came back to his senses. "Xianmei, is your brother Yu in the house?"
"Here!" Cai Zhaoji said truthfully. "Old Wei came here early in the morning and said he had something to discuss with Brother Yu... In the past few days, Elder Wei came here almost every day and stayed for most of the day. He and Brother Yu
They are all blabbering, but it makes me more and more confused, what are they planning?"
Um... Cao Cao rolled his eyes when he blurted out these words.
Judging from Cai Zhaoji's words, her sister doesn't even know what Lu Yu is doing...
And, Wei Hong?
Is it actually Wei Hong? It is difficult for Cao Cao not to associate Wei Hong with 100,000 shi of grain. Could it be that Yu'er did some kind of business with Wei Hong?
The transaction is not strange, but the key point is... this is not an ordinary transaction. The price is one hundred thousand stones of grain. It seems that Yu'er has made a lot of money!
Speaking of which, it seems that except for Cao Cao, the prodigal son, all of his old Cao family are masters of "making money in the right way".
Not to mention my grandfather Cao Teng... A eunuch was a recognized leader among the scholars. He was rich, powerful, and famous;
His father, Cao Song, was even more impressive. He first became the Sili school captain, which was equivalent to the "public, prosecutor, and law" of the imperial capital in this era. In addition, there was no discipline inspection these days, so there was no bottom line for making money.
Later, he became the "Da Honglu" in charge of the emperor's private treasury, and then the "Da Sinong" in charge of the Han Dynasty's finances. Finally, he simply spent "a small goal" of coins to donate to a "Taiwei", one of the three princes.
In short... Although Cao Cao was quite shameful about his father Cao Song's behavior over the years, he still felt that his father was really awesome.
At least, without Cao Song's initial financial support, Cao Cao and Chen Liu's army would have been a joke?
Of course, my grandfather and father were very good at making money, and when it came to Cao Cao, they were "very good at spending money"! It was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled enough.
Now...Yu'er is here!
Cao Cao rolled his eyes and thought of the 100,000 shi of grain that Yu'er had sent.
With Zhu Yu in front of him, Cao Cao thought to himself, he had been a prodigal for a generation, and it seems that in Yu'er's generation, the hidden skill of "making money in a proper way"... has been developed again!
For a moment, Cao Cao was thinking, when it comes to making money...
The four generations of the Cao family, except him... are really awesome!
