After receiving Liu Qi's order, Jia Xu was stunned at first, and then ordered someone to find Chen Xuan and Zhao Qi. Although these two people are already well-known in Jingzhou, Jia Xu had never seen them before.
.
Jia Xu was also very clear about the matter that Liu Qi handed over the Jingzhou treasury to the two of them. With his talent, he only needed to think about it for a moment to understand Liu Qi's intention. Therefore, what these two people did in the past few months,
He would be careful, but after a while, he had some understanding of the two of them.
Neither of these two people are scammers. They are cautious but smart. They are very familiar with how to run the treasury. Therefore, they are not surprised that Liu Qi asked the three of them to raise enough food and grass.
Although Liu Qi's order was just a few words, Jia Xu could feel that Liu Qi was a test for the two of them. They had been operating the treasury for several months, and they were full of financial, material and manpower. If they could not complete it, they handed it over to them.
The mission, then the talents of these two people need to be reconsidered.
"I've seen the master." Chen Xuan and Zhao Qi walked into the room under the leadership of two guards. They were surprised when they heard Jia Xu's encounter. Although Jia Xu was a surrendered minister, his status in Jingzhou was
But it is extremely high. Only Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and several other Liu Qi promoted themselves can compare.
"Please get up, two of you." Jia Xu raised his hand slightly.
"The lord sent an order to order us and the three of us to raise half of the remaining food and grass within ten days and transport it to Wancheng." Jia Xu said directly.
"Ten days?" Chen Xuan and Zhao Qi looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. Ten days were too short.
"Yes, it's ten days. Ma Chao of Liangzhou proposed to deliver all the promised food and grass within ten days before he would hand over Shangyong to Jingzhou. There is no shirk at this point. We and the three of us must put it within ten days.
All the food and grass were raised." Jia Xu nodded without hiding it, and explained the matter to the two.
Chen Xuan and Zhao Qi were both slightly sarcastic. Although Jia Xu said it lightly, since this matter was an agreement between the provincial governor and Liangzhou, the success or failure of this matter was related to the face of the entire Jingzhou and could not be careless.
This incident did not allow any accidents. Thinking of the fact that these two people were a little more solemn in their hearts.
"I wonder what you two have in mind?" Jia Xu looked at them and said.
"Sir, this matter is of great importance. I have to consider it properly. Please wait." Chen Xuan bowed.
"It's okay, the place in the side hall is spacious. You can go there to discuss it. I can only do my best to mobilize food and grass from various places in Jingzhou. As for the others, I'll bother you." Jia Xu nodded slightly and said.
"Thank you for your concern." Chen Xuan and the others bowed and walked out together.
After seeing off the two, Jia Xu got up and went to Yiji's mansion. Yiji was far more clear about the situation in Jingzhou than him. He had to transport the remaining grain from Jingzhou to Wancheng in the shortest time.
In just half an hour, Jia Xu returned to the mansion with a serious look on his face. He originally thought that there was no war in Jingzhou for years and could stock up on food and grass, but he didn't expect that the remaining food and grass was much less than he thought. Now
It can only be seen whether Chen Xuan and Zhao Qi have a solution.
If it doesn't work, you can only embezzle part of the army's food and grass to Liangzhou first, but in that case, the food and grass of the Jingzhou army will become extremely short of.
"The entire 100,000 dan of food and grass must be raised within ten days. I wonder what good way does Chief Zhao have?" In the side hall, Chen Xuan frowned and looked at Zhao Qi.
"Time is too short. If there is one month, not to mention one hundred thousand dan, even two hundred thousand dan can be raised, it is just a little more money. Now there is only ten days to transport the food and grass
It will take a day to arrive in Wancheng, let alone raise so much food and grass." Zhao Qi shook his head and sighed.
"If I can't guess, this time it should be a test for us by Lord Zhou Mu. If it is really easy to complete, how can we need to wait for us?" Chen Xuan suddenly spoke.
From the time when Liu Qi handed over the Jingzhou treasury to him, he was waiting for the arrival of this day. It was impossible for Liu Qi to hand over the huge Jingzhou treasury to them without caring about it.
"Yes." Zhao Qi was stunned at first, then nodded.
Both of them looked up at each other. A month ago, when they returned the property they took out from the treasury, they had completely separated the treasury.
"Let's cooperate!" the two of them said at the same time. Time is of great importance. Both of them dare not be careless at all.
Nodded and stood up and came to Jia Xu's study again.
"What did you think of?" Jia Xu asked expectantly.
"Yes, we have some methods and we need to discuss with the adults." Chen Xuan said first.
Nodded, Jia Xu signaled the two of them to sit down, but he was a little surprised. It was already beyond his expectations to think of a solution in such a short time.
"Sir, the most abundant grain reserves in Jingzhou are the aristocratic families in Jingzhou. Almost all aristocratic families have the habit of regularly storing grain. Over the years, almost every aristocratic family will have a grain warehouse to store grain and grass." Chen Xuan said.
"Do you want to start with these aristocratic families?" Jia Xu said in surprise.
"Yes, I want to buy grain and grass from these aristocratic families and let these aristocratic families voluntarily sell the grain and grass in their hands. We will buy these grain and grass again, so that it can save time and complete the task delivered by the main bus." Zhao
Qi nodded and said.
"Let the aristocratic family automatically sell the food and grass in their hands?" Jia Xu said unexpectedly. You should know that every aristocratic family has the habit of storing grain. On the one hand, it is for the needs of the family, and on the other hand, it is to guard against natural disasters and man-made disasters. No one will be allowed unless it is absolutely necessary.
He will sell the stored grain and grass. How can Chen Xuan let these families sell the grain and grass in their hands?
"That's right, but this requires the cooperation of the adults. You should know the last time the lord raised a booklet to establish a college?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Yes." Jia Xu nodded. Last time, Liu Qi made a blow first and then gave him a benefit to obey the aristocratic family in Jingzhou. Could it be that these two people still want to use the same trick again?
"The Lord may have heard some news in private, saying that the lord wants to build more than ten large granaries, and every ten years of storing grain and grass, you can use two scoops of grain and grass, and you can also borrow from the granary.
, every time a scoop of grain and grass is borrowed, two scoops of grain and grass must be returned within three years. In this way, the aristocratic families in Jingzhou will definitely store the stock in their hands in the granary, and even the people from all over the country will also store the granary in their hands.
If stored in the granary, you will definitely be able to raise 100,000 dan of food and grass within ten days."
Chen Xuan said with a serious look on his face. He heard this idea from Lord Zhou Mu. Although he thought it was feasible, he had never tried it.
"Huh?" Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and in just a moment he understood the key points. He borrowed one pound and needed to pay two pounds in three years, four pounds in six years, and ten pounds in ten years.
Eight chunks. And the same storage is only two chunks in ten years, and the price difference is too big.
"Ten days are too short. If it is a long time, not to mention a hundred thousand dan, even 200,000 dan or 300,000 dan can be collected." Zhao Qi said with a smile.
"Since that's the case, let's do it according to your wishes. I also secretly contacted some aristocratic families to hoard food and grass first." Jia Xu nodded and said.
That night, there was a rumor among the entire Xiangyang family that was rumored that Lord Mu of Zhou was going to build a granary in Wancheng. For a time, all the families were paying attention to this matter. When Liu Qi established academies, the academies that participated first benefited.
We were going to build a granary, and each family sent people to get rid of the situation.
"The news is true? Lord Zhou Mu really said that, one increase or one borrowed or seven?"
"It's true. It can double the stored food and grass in ten years, and it can also increase the loaned food and grass seven times."
"What a huge profit! But is there a family starting to express their stock?"
"Now, the Pang family, Huang family, Sima family and other major families have begun to take out the remaining grains in their hands and store them in the granary."
………………………………………………………………………………
As several major families such as Pang, Huang, Sima and others stored the surplus grains from the family in the granary, more and more families took out the surplus grains to be stored in the granary that Liu Qi wanted to build.
In the face of such great interests, no aristocratic family would remain indifferent. Moreover, according to Jia Wenhe, Lord Zhou Mu would have a series of actions in the future. This news made the aristocratic family in Jingzhou even more active and found out what else was going on.
In just five days, 100,000 dan of grain and grass were stored in the granary in Jingzhou. The water army of Jingzhou kept transporting these grain and grass from all over the place to Wancheng day and night. In just eight days, 100,000 dan of grain and grass had been fully transported.
"This Liu Qi actually raised so much food and grass?" In Shangyong City, Ma Chao was shocked when he received the news.
"Yes, our people have heard news that Liu Qi has raised all the surplus grains from the entire Jingzhou family, and now it has far exceeded 100,000 dan." Pang De also said in shock.
Ten days, 100,000 harbors of food and grass were shocking. Although the food stored in Jingzhou’s aristocratic families was shocking, Liu Qi’s methods were also surprising.
"General, do we want to withdraw from Shangyong?" Pang De thought for a while and asked. Now Jingzhou has raised 100,000 dan of food and grass within ten days. According to the previous agreement, they will withdraw from Shangyong.
Shangyong handed over to Jingzhou.
"Report to the general, 20,000 Jingzhou troops were found outside the city."
Just as Ma Chao was thinking, a young player ran in and said.
