Three Kingdoms: It’s incredible, I can evolve infinitely at the beginning

Grain embargo, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were many princes all over the country, and the small court of the Eastern Han Dynasty was no longer able to restrain them. The imperial edicts issued by the court to call for money and grain were almost equivalent to waste paper, the kind that was too hard to wipe the butt.

Therefore, whether it was Luoyang before or Chang'an later, as the capital, they would encounter intermittent food shortages. However, it is still very rare for all states to refuse to transport food. Cai Yong, a great farmer, was still thinking about using traditional methods to solve this problem. He gave some suggestions:

"Use the imperial court's order to have the nearest states and counties immediately deport grain to the capital."

"If you do not comply, you will be deprived of your title and official position and be accused of being a traitor."

"The whole world will attack together."

Cai Yong's suggestion was first rejected by Li Ru.

Currently, Dong Yu is not the only prince who has controlled the emperor. He

Jin and Dong Zhuo both used the emperor to command the princes, but they used the emperor's name to issue orders. , many princes obeyed He Jin's orders, but no one listened to Dong Zhuo's orders, and even created a powerful rebel force such as the Kwantung Allied Forces.

Is the reason because Dong Zhuo did not have enough troops?

Of course not. , but as He Jin, as a general, although he relied on his status as a relative, he was at least justified.

All the forces in the court, whether they were veteran generals like Huangfu Song or current leaders like Lu Zhi, The great Confucians, or the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were the fourth generation and the three princes, at least they all obeyed He Jin.

But it was different when it came to Dong Zhuo. Dong Yu's cheap daddy gave him He Jin's head while holding it in his hand. He issued an edict, marched his troops into the pass, and then directly trampled on the dignity of the imperial court.

He deposed the emperor, slept on a dragon bed, and raped the palace maids.

These things were tantamount to tearing off the face of the Han emperor and trampling on it.

How can it be like a rubber stamp? Emperor, who can still be convinced?

Therefore, the strategy of issuing an edict is useless against the princes and chambers of commerce who are determined to cut off the food source of Chang'an City.

"Follow the clues!"

Xu Rong held a piece of information that had just been sent over in his hand, took a quick look at it, and then handed it to Dong Yu and said,

"My lord, we have identified these chambers of commerce in Chang'an City that are hoarding food and cutting off the supply of food."

"The largest organization among them is the Mi Family in Xuzhou!"

"Their boss, Mi Fang, is the second-in-command of the new generation of the Mi family, and is currently in the Xuzhou Guild Hall in Chang'an City."

Mi Fang?

This name seems familiar.

"The Mi family is indeed one of the richest in Xuzhou,"

Li Ru analyzed.

"Relying on the wars in these years, they started by selling food and accumulated over 100 million yuan in wealth."

"There are thousands of servants in the family, and many state and county officials are guests of the Mi family."

"but……"

Li Ru changed the subject and said,

"The Mi family shouldn't be so bold. At least there are several other companies that have formed a business alliance with them, so that they can leverage the entire Chang'an City's grain market!"

Xu Rong also agreed with the military advisor's analysis and said,

"This is indeed the case, but other participating forces are still hidden behind the scenes for the time being, and we have no clear evidence."

"My lord, please make your decision!"

Xu Rong handed over the final decision to Dong Yu.

Dong Yu thought for a while and said,

"Act immediately, don't let the news leak out,"

"After capturing Mi Fang, she was sent to the military camp and tortured!"

"yes!"

A chill flashed in Xu Rong's eyes, and he immediately took the Shadow Guards into action.

……

Xuzhou Guild Hall

This is the place where people from Xuzhou come and go to trade in Chang'an City.

Although Xuzhou is not close to Chang'an City, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept through Qingxu and Xuzhou in the early years.

Many rich and powerful people in Xuzhou were afraid The dead guys came to Chang'an to settle down, hoping to save their lives under the protection of the Han Dynasty.

These people brought their families and extended the Xuzhou Guild Hall many times, and finally built a prominent guild hall in the northwest corner of the inner city of Chang'an.

In the large house on the fourth floor, two courtyards were expanded near the house , so that the entire Xuzhou Guild Hall was built like a city.

Almost no one could tell how many rooms there were and how many people could live in it.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Xuzhou Guild Hall, Mi Fang, who had just seen off a group of grain merchants, although his appearance was young and a little immature, his tone was very sophisticated, and he said to the several disciples of the Mi family around him,

"Everyone, have you seen that these grain merchants in Chang'an City are not afraid of any axes at all?"

"They are just afraid that there is not enough benefit from running out of food!"

"I gave each of them a hundred taels of gold directly from the bank. Didn't they become bolder?"

"This thing my brother asked me to do was so simple!"

Several Mi family members burst into laughter, and some even flattered Mi Fang and said,

"They say that the second boss is extremely smart, but I think the first boss should have let you take charge long ago!"

"Then our power has long surpassed that of the Chen family in Xuzhou!"

When the Chen family was mentioned, the arrogance on Mi Fang's face also diminished a bit.

He raised a finger and warned several Mi family children who were following him,

"Everyone, my brother warned me that the Chen family is not something to be messed with."

"Chen Gui, who has been in the position of leaving the post for a long time, is quite prestigious in the hearts of the officials in Xuzhou."

"His son Chen Yuanlong is even more remarkable. He is called the number one talent in Xuzhou by my brother."

"We still need to restrain ourselves."

These children of the Mi family were all following Mi Fang.

Of course they nodded hurriedly and praised Mi Fang for her prudence.

Mi Fang took a cup of good tea presented by the maid and smelled the aroma of the tea that was hard to buy.

He smiled and said to everyone present,

"The Chen family is not easy to mess with, but if we can complete the food shortage plan this time,"

"Then the imperial court and the Xiliang army will also be afraid of our Mi family in Xuzhou. At that time, they can fill the last political shortcoming of our Mi family."

"If my brother is granted an official title or even a marquis title, then the Chen family will give us three points!"

But at this moment, a short-sighted member of the Mi family spoiled Mi Fang's mood.

He asked cautiously,

"But, second in command, why did I hear that Dong Yu, the current coach of the Xiliang Army, is not someone to be dealt with?"

"He may not compromise so easily! Mi

Fang frowned and immediately placed the tea cup heavily on the coffee table.

He stared at the rude guy with evil eyes and said,

"Not easy to get along with?"

"I ask you who is easy to get along with?"

"Do you think we are landowners in the countryside, and the people we deal with every day are honest farmers who are easy to bully?"

"Let me tell you, from the beginning of our Mi family ten years ago to now, every step we take is a knife-edge licking blood!"

"Only when the people we do business with are people who eat people and don't spit out their bones, can we get the maximum profit from our business, you know?"
