Chapter 135 Cao Cao rises to prominence and Liu Bei gets married
After Cao Cao listened to the speeches of these farmers, he couldn't help showing a look of relief. He had Xi Zhicai managing the internal affairs, and some details of the farming system were more perfect. The people not only had a great impression of those soldiers, but also had a great impression of himself!
Now during the harvest, when these people saw the harvest, their hearts surged wildly, and countless people were full of praise for Cao Cao.
And because of the farming system, many people needed to contact soldiers. Under Xi Zhicai's request, these soldiers were extremely patient with the people.
The people who were originally afraid of soldiers showed a favorable impression and asked their young people to join the army. Moreover, joining the army not only provided military pay, but also reduced 10% of taxes.
This greatly encouraged countless people to join the army.
next day
In just one day, the granaries around Yingchuan and Chenliu were filled to capacity, and countless grains and grass were transported towards Qingzhou.
Originally, Qingzhou was baptized by the flames of war and should not have a large population. However, as soon as they heard about the provision of food, countless refugees came to Qingzhou.
Of course, these grains are not provided to you for free. Those who have received these food aids will receive 20% more tax revenue from the first harvest of grains.
This is definitely a profitable business. Countless people come to Qingzhou to farm. Under the night farming system and the existence of the Quyuan plow.
The agricultural level of the territory under Cao Cao was pushed to its peak. The farming system was promoted in every place, and the Quyuan plow was imitated on a large scale.
This attracted other princes in neighboring counties to follow suit, but not only did they not have the financial resources that Cao Cao had today, but they also did not have the same perfect farming system.
The most important thing is that they have no way to imitate the Quyuan plow.
Although the structure of the Quyuan Plow is not very solid, when Zhao Feng made the design drawings, the eleven parts could be handed over to eleven craftsmen for production respectively.
The assembly is even done by close associates themselves.
Even if you ask the craftsmen who made these parts, they probably don't know how to make a curved shaft plow, let alone let others copy it.
But just like that, the agriculture of the surrounding princes has improved to some extent, but without the Quyuan plow, Cao Cao is destined to be the most attractive place!
Others simply cannot follow suit. At least, Cao Cao no longer has to worry about food for the time being. At the same time, the excess food can even be used to make distilled wine for profit.
At the same time, by investing the money from profits into the steelmaking plant again, there was no need to worry about armaments. This big harvest allowed Cao Cao to grow rapidly.
After the big harvest, good news came from Xuzhou.
The wedding of Liu Bei and Mi Luyun, the girl from the Mi family of the Mi Chamber of Commerce, is about to happen. The whole of Xuzhou is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, waiting for the two of them to get married.
Moreover, the good news even reached Yanzhou. Now that Liu Bei's wedding is about to take place, he is already closely cooperating with the Mi family.
If there is a marriage, it is estimated that the Mi Chamber of Commerce will invest all its resources in Liu Bei.
"You must have heard that Liu Bei is getting married soon, right?"
Cao Cao walked directly towards Zhao Feng's room without saying anything.
Liu Bei also deliberately publicized this matter. All surrounding counties and counties had heard the news, and Zhao Feng was naturally no exception.
"This matter does not have much relevance to us, but Liu Bei can develop rapidly with the help of Mi's power!"
Cao Cao naturally knew the stakes involved, and the Miss Mi family was just the product of a political marriage.
"This can't make things too smooth for them."
I don't know why, Cao Cao didn't want Liu Bei to hold this wedding smoothly.
While he was thinking about whether to interfere with Liu Bei's marriage, a mechanical voice suddenly came to his ears.
Zhao Feng suddenly showed a look of joy. Since the last time he completed the task, the system has not come out for a long time.
"Ding, the Three Kingdoms' strongest selection mission has been detected!"
"System tasks are being generated!"
"This time the strongest selection mission of the Three Kingdoms is as follows:"
"1. Robbery, slap Liu Bei in the face, mission reward: sweet potato seeds!"
"2. Congratulations, I wish Liu Bei will have a son soon. Mission reward: Force +5!"
"3. Regardless, mission reward: None!"
How could Zhao Feng go to congratulate Liu Bei now? Of course he had to choose the first option, to directly steal the marriage!
To disturb Liu Bei's marriage, he directly sent someone to snatch the Miss Mi family away from Xuzhou in front of him!
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng showed a smile, and he already had a solution in his mind. Liu Bei only had half of the state in Xuzhou, and with Lu Bu on the side to restrain him, he was not afraid of them turning over at all!
Moreover, if the Miss Mi family is in his hands, she might be able to threaten the Mi family and then annex the Mi family chamber of commerce!
At that time, Liu Bei will have no follow-up support, and because of the fake edict, his reputation is not very good now. Once Liu Bei lacks the funds of the Mi Chamber of Commerce, he will be in trouble.
And among the strongest choices, sweet potato seeds were also what he had been waiting for.
Sweet potatoes can not only be used as a high-yield food, but also have a very high survival rate, and they can grow in any variety.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said: "Lord, leave this matter to me."
Now that the system has issued tasks, Zhao Feng did not show any courtesy and directly took over the entire task.
After seeing Cao Cao leaving, Zhao Feng then shouted: "Tongque is here!"
"How many bronze birds are there in Xuzhou?"
Tongque thought for a while and said: "Report to the commander, there are still sixty-seven people!"
Zhao Feng looked at him and continued to ask: "How many people are in the Mi family now?"
"Four people."
After hearing this, Zhao Feng pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Can the person responsible for carrying the sedan chair for Miss Mi be replaced by one of us?"
Tongque nodded, "No problem at all."
Lifting a sedan chair is a laborious task. Not many people are willing to do it, and no one is willing to fight for this position.
As long as Tongque can do a little trick and replace the people carrying the sedan chair with his own people, there should be no problem.
"Well, make arrangements immediately. We will have important actions on the wedding day!" Zhao Feng showed a smile.
The next day, Xuzhou.
At this time, people inside and outside Xuzhou were hung with red silk and satin, lanterns were decorated, and gongs and drums were playing loudly, showing a festive atmosphere.
At the same time, countless people in the Liu Mansion showed happy expressions.
"Haha, brother, congratulations!"
"I have long heard that Brother Xuande is very happy today, so I came here to congratulate you."
"My lord, I will definitely drink him until he is drunk today!"
Liu Bei had a smile on his face. He was wearing red clothes and stood very conspicuously among the crowd. He responded to everyone one by one.
Similarly, countless people came to congratulate today, but considering Liu Bei's set, there were no valuable items.
After all, in troubled times, those material capitals were scarce, so Liu Bei didn't care. All he wanted was the Mi family.
At the same time, there were countless people watching and joining in the fun. Seeing these people, they seemed to have thought of something.
Then he walked out and said loudly in front of everyone: "Everyone, Liu Xuande is so happy today. He is hosting a hundred tables of banquets outside the mansion. People in Xuzhou City can sit down as they please."
