If millions of people went into riot without food, it would be a devastating crisis!
Wei Jian would rather take the blame for Liu Zhang than take it one step at a time.
Food and grass cannot be produced casually. When seeds are planted in the ground, it takes a long time to grow.
Liu Zhang naturally knew this, and just when he was about to explain, he saw a figure appearing at the entrance of the palace.
"Bo Miao!"
Liu Zhang exclaimed and then showed joy.
Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, finally looking forward to Deng Zhi’s return!
Liu Zhang stood up immediately and couldn't even wait for Deng Zhi to come to him.
Wei Jian didn't know who Deng Zhi was, but seeing Liu Zhang paying so much attention to him, he also stood up and went to greet him.
"Bo Miao, you are finally back!"
Deng Zhi trotted forward and quickly bowed to Liu Zhang.
"Greetings to Duke Qin!"
Looking at Deng Zhi, who was still panting heavily after a long journey, Liu Zhang felt a little moved in his heart.
Deng Zhi must not have dared to delay even a moment along the way. He probably had to run all the way to Chang'an!
"Bo Miao, thank you for your hard work! How many war horses did Cai Hao buy?"
Liu Zhang wanted to give Deng Zhi a breather, but he was too anxious.
Whether the immigrants can successfully immigrate depends entirely on the outcome of Deng Zhi's mission to Jingzhou.
Deng Zhi quickly breathed several times, hoping to calm down her body, but she didn't expect that her breathing became even worse this time.
Liu Zhang was so anxious that Deng Zhi could only raise two fingers in panic to give Liu Zhang a hint.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Zhang saw the two fingers, he was stunned for a moment and then became furious.
"This piece of shit Cai Hao is really ignorant!"
"I gave him 500 shi per horse of grain and he thought it was too expensive. He really deserves to die!"
"Damn it, Jingzhou is so poor, how can you afford one million stones of food and grass?"
"I'm really pissed off! Cai Mao deserves to be beat up by Liu Bei, a retarded man! He deserves it!"
Liu Zhang pointed at the door and cursed loudly. He couldn't get rid of his anger even after cursing, and even danced with joy, wishing to beat Cai Hao to death on the spot.
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 for 2.5 million stones of grain and grass.
In this case, Yizhou will not have much pressure to transport grain, and Guanzhong can at least hold on until next autumn harvest!
This million stone is enough to do anything. I can’t even get through this year!
Wei Jian on the side was completely stunned. He had seen Liu Zhang get angry, but he had never seen Liu Zhang insult others like this, let alone the Jingzhou General.
As for five hundred stones a piece or something, I was even more confused.
However, Liu Zhang was in a irritable state, and Wei Ji did not dare to interrupt, so he could only stand aside silently.
At this moment, Deng Zhi finally took a breath and quickly explained.
"Qin Gong, it's not two thousand horses..."
"What!"
Liu Zhang's eyes widened and he jumped up.
"I'm really a Japanese uncle, and I want to send us away with 100,000 stones of food and grass?"
"Without the four counties in Jingnan, Cai Mao won't be able to uncover the truth!"
"This beast...!"
Deng Zhi waved his hands repeatedly and hurriedly explained.
"No, no, no! It's twenty thousand horses!"
Upon hearing the word Wan, Liu Zhang stopped cursing and even swallowed the words he was about to say.
"How...how much?"
Deng Zhi was not surprised when he saw Liu Zhang's appearance, because he had the same expression at first.
"Qin Gong, Cai Mao wants 20,000 horses! We agreed to trade in Wuguan in half a month!"
With such skill, Liu Zhang fell from hell to the eighteenth level of hell, and then jumped to heaven!
The food and grass supply dropped sharply from one million dan to 100,000 dan, and then increased sharply to 10 million dan!
Liu Zhang slapped his cheek hard with his hand, feeling the burst of pain to let him know that this was not a dream.
Immediately ecstatic!
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay!"
"As expected of Degui, good brother! Hahaha!"
All the problems have been solved, which is great!
With these ten million stones of food and grass, it is enough to support Guanzhong to be self-sufficient!
Liu Zhang was so excited that he didn't even care about Wei Jian and Deng Zhi, and started running wildly in the palace.
Happiness comes so suddenly!
Wei Jian was extremely confused and could only look at Bo Miao in Liu Zhang's mouth.
"Your Majesty, Wei Qi, is Jing Zhaoyin who was just appointed by Duke Qin. I wonder who he is, sir?"
"Jing Zhaoyin!"
Deng Zhi exclaimed and quickly raised his hands in salute.
"I worked for Deng Zhi in Xia Yizhou and met Lord Wei!"
"You don't have to be polite when Deng is engaged. What is Duke Qin doing?"
Although Wei Qiang was very kind, Deng Zhi did not dare to be rude in the slightest.
Deng Zhi had never heard of the name Wei Xi, so he didn't expect to be directly appointed as Jing Zhaoyin!
This shows Wei Jian's status in Liu Zhang's heart.
"Master Wei doesn't know something. Duke Qin ordered me to serve in Jingzhou and exchange horses for food and grass."
I see!
Wei Jian finally understood why Liu Zhang said that food and grass were available. It turned out that he was exchanging horses for food!
"Deng Zhizhi, five hundred stones in exchange for a war horse?"
Deng Zhi nodded.
"good!"
Cheap! Really cheap!
It even feels like a cheap sale!
Wei Jian has been dealing with the Huns for decades, and has never had such a favorable price!
Let alone Jingxiang, you can't even buy five hundred stones in Youbingliang and Sanzhou!
Suddenly, Wei Qian gasped twice, and then looked at Deng Zhi in shock.
"Hey, Deng Zhizhang just said, how much does Cai Mao buy?"
Deng Zhi stretched out two fingers again, and then showed a proud smile.
"Twenty thousand horses!"
Wei Qian's eyes widened unconsciously, and his mouth was so shocked that he could have swallowed an egg!
He finally felt Liu Zhang's feelings personally.
Why are you talking incoherently and haven't stopped until now?
Twenty thousand horses!
Isn’t that ten million stones of food and grass?
This is a number that will shock everyone!
Wei Jian couldn't even imagine what it would be like if this number reached Cao Cao's ears.
When Cao Cao was still scrimping on food and clothing just to have 200,000 shi of food and grass left, 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 get so much food?"
Ten million dan would take Yizhou two years without eating or drinking to produce this grain!
"Mr. Qin, I have repeatedly confirmed with Cai Mao. He said that if we gather the power of the Jingzhou family, we will definitely be able to come up with it!"
"By the way, Liu Biao has agreed to forcibly drive out the people in Guanzhong, and when the war horses are traded, he will cede it to us along with Wuguan!"
Deng Zhi still believed in Cai Mao. After all, the current situation in Jingzhou made it impossible for him to deceive Liu Zhang like this.
Unless Liu Biao’s Jingzhou Mu no longer wants to sit there, Cai Mao’s Cai family doesn’t want it either!
Otherwise, the Jingzhou family would rather offend everyone than offend Liu Zhang.
"Okay! I'll let Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang lead the army to escort the war horses, and also prepare for the reception of Wuguan."
"As long as Cai Mao dares to play tricks on me, I will give him an unforgettable lesson!"
