At six o'clock in the morning, the sky above the Anyi County town echoed with the sound of the bell from the bell tower.
At this time, the city gate also opened, and the mountain people and farmers waiting at the city gate rushed in in an endless stream.
In order to set the stage for Dong Zhuo, Wei Cheng disclosed the news of the food shortage in the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty", which immediately made the people in Hedong and even Bingzhou nervous.
"Don't worry, don't worry, every household buys grain in a rationed amount. Adults can buy two buckets of grain per month, children under twelve years old can buy one bucket of grain per month, and seniors over fifty can eat in the health center canteen.
, don’t purchase it separately.”
The door of Wei's grain store was crowded with people, and Xu Ding asked the shopkeeper to shout at the door with a loudspeaker.
In fact, the people queuing up to purchase food are ordinary people who don't understand the current situation and Wei Cheng's operations. The real aristocratic families have already been firmly seated on the Diaoyutai. They know that the Wei family will not let the food shortage really occur.
The reason why the grain reserves are sold to the outside world is, on the one hand, to calm the people's hearts, and on the other hand, it is also to clear out the old grain and make room for the new grain that is about to be delivered.
Standing next to Xu Ding was a handsome young man. Looking at the orderly queue in front of the grain store, he couldn't help but sigh: "I really admire my brother-in-law more and more. In the past, there was a grain shortage in Chenliu. The scene at that time was not too...
Scary.”
"Haha, what the young master is saying is, not to mention panic buying. Every time there is a food shortage, there is no chaos in the city. There are countless people burning, killing and looting. However, fortunately, our city has city guards patrolling and supervising it. Even if there are some thorns
If you find the head, you will be arrested on the spot."
Xu Ding cupped his hands towards the young man and smiled.
The young man hurriedly returned the salute.
Cai Heng, the younger brother of Cai Yan and Cai Jue, is only thirteen years old this year.
A few days ago, Wei Cheng asked Cai Yan to transfer the Cai clan back, and Cai Heng and some Cai clan members immediately ran away from Luoyang.
However, Cai Yong did not leave. After he learned about Wei Cheng's plan, he thought that with him in Luoyang, he might be able to make an impact.
"Heng'er."
"Sister! Why are you here?"
Cai Heng heard the sound and looked around, looking around the two sisters Cai Yan and Cai Jue. He didn't see his brother-in-law Wei Cheng, and he was a little disappointed... He always admired his brother-in-law.
Cai Yan saluted Xu Dingying and said, "I happened to pass by and saw Governor Xu."
Xu Dingcheng returned the salute in fear, "I don't dare, Madam, where are you going? I'll have someone arrange the carriage."
Cai Yan declined politely: "No, my husband is entertaining the elders of the clan in the restaurant in front. I saw Heng'er again, so I came here to call him."
Cai Heng's eyes brightened when he heard this, "Brother-in-law is finally free?"
Cai and his party arrived in Anyi yesterday afternoon. They originally wanted to visit Wei Cheng last night to learn more information, but at that time Wei Cheng had something to do and returned to the modern space, so Cai Yan pushed it to today on the grounds that Wei Cheng was in retreat.
"What do you mean you are finally free? It seems like your brother-in-law doesn't want to see you." Cai Yan patted Cai Heng's arm angrily.
Cai Heng smiled and did not hide, but urged impatiently: "Come on, sister, take me to meet my brother-in-law quickly."
When Cai Yan married Wei Cheng, Cai Heng happened to be studying under Kong Rong. Later, when the situation was turbulent and the Yellow Turban rebels were causing chaos everywhere, he stayed in his hometown to study and never saw Wei Cheng at all.
With.
My initial impression was that my brother-in-law was a talented man who became famous at a young age, and that he was a good match for his sister, a talented woman.
Later, he heard that his brother-in-law was frail and sick, and he felt worthless for his sister.
Until last June, he suddenly heard that his brother-in-law had become Dong Zhuo's adviser. Of course, he now knew that this news was just a rumor.
After that, it was simply not that exciting, and Wei Cheng's image continued to rise in his heart.
Killing Guo Tai severely damaged Baibo's army, annihilated 100,000 Huns and built a 10,000-blood tower. There is also the sentence: 'Anyone who offends me from the east of the river will be punished no matter how far away he is.'
Cai Heng, who is only thirteen years old, still carries the pride of a young master from an aristocratic family. He disdains to criticize the Longshan generals who are passed down by word of mouth. The only one he admires is his brother-in-law Wei Cheng who wrote all of them!
His dream is to be like his brother-in-law Wei Cheng, a wise man who guides the country behind the scenes.
Not long after, the three siblings walked into Haoke Lai Restaurant.
In the largest private seat on the second floor, Wei Cheng was chatting with Cai Yan's two uncles.
"Brother-in-law, Heng'er has met her brother-in-law and said hello to her second uncle and her third uncle."
The two uncles twisted their beards and smiled, motioning for him to take a seat. Currently, there was only one seat next to Wei Cheng, which was Cai Yan's seat. His brother-in-law, Cai Heng, looked at the seat nervously and did not dare to cross it.
Wei Cheng chuckled and said, "Sit down, just sit next to me."
Cai Yan and her sister Cai Jue sat down separately. It was not like they were at home outside, and some rules could be relaxed appropriately.
Seeing the juniors coming over, the three people who were still chatting about business looked at each other and smiled, and did not continue the conversation.
Uncle Cai Yan glanced at Cai Heng and said with a smile: "Zhongdao, if you don't want to do this in the future, let Heng'er serve as a deputy by your side."
"Oh!" Wei Cheng looked at Cai Heng aside.
Cai Heng quietly winked at his second uncle to express his gratitude, and then looked at Wei Cheng expectantly.
Wei Cheng looked at his brother-in-law. He looked about 60-70% similar to his sister Cai Yan, but he was a bit too delicate, looking like a newbie who had never been beaten by society.
Compared to Cai Heng, Cai Jue sitting across from him is more mature and steady, with quite a shrewd temperament. I think he learned a lot of 'new' knowledge at Heluo College.
Facing his brother-in-law's excited and expectant gaze, Wei Cheng said with a smile: "Heng'er should be only thirteen this year. No rush, no hurry. Let's go to Heluo College for two years of further study with Jue'er first. Wait until you learn enough."
Whatever is done, my brother-in-law will definitely use it for you."
Cai Heng was stunned for a moment. Was he declined?
"Brother-in-law, I, I have been recognized by Master Kong, I, I..."
"Don't rush to express your position. After you go to Heluo College, you will know my good intentions in letting you study. If you don't believe me, ask your second sister, are you still afraid that I will harm you, brother-in-law?"
Cai Heng looked unwilling and said stubbornly: "But Heng'er just wants to follow her brother-in-law. Isn't it possible that my brother-in-law is not as good as the gentlemen from Heluo College?"
"Bah!"
Wei Cheng was about to speak when suddenly a children's voice sounded from the next door seat.
Immediately, Sima Yi, who looked like a young adult, looked over, glanced at Cai Heng with disdain, and said: "You have the nerve to question my master's methods, why don't you look at how much you weigh?"
Cai Heng looked at this boy who was obviously younger than him but half a head taller than him. He stood up angrily, pointed at his nose, and asked: "Why did I doubt my brother-in-law...who are you?"
?”
Sima Yi glanced at Wei Cheng and Cai Yan beside him, ran over in a hurry, patted the grease on his sleeves, knelt down on one knee respectfully, and sang on the ground: "Yi to Master, Master, please say hello.
"
Cai Yan raised his eyebrows and pointed at himself, when did he become a mistress?
Wei Cheng is two heads tall, so why is this kid still in Anyi?
