The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Zhen Yao was appointed by Zhou Cheng to work in the General Mansion, and was mainly responsible for the commercial management of Yecheng.

Nowadays, the purchase of salt, iron, grain, cattle, sheep, horses, etc. all requires the approval of the General's Office.

The Zhen family is currently the only family with the qualifications to sell salt, iron, grain, cattle, sheep, and horses.

However, since Zhou Cheng restricted the purchase of grain, the aristocratic families and wealthy families in various counties and counties suffered misfortune before they had time to evacuate.

Those aristocratic families and wealthy families who had no time to evacuate had all their food robbed by Zhou Cheng's army, and their cattle, sheep, and horses were also forcibly taken away.

Nowadays, a large family can buy only a limited amount of food every month.

Forget about civilians, they can survive even if they are small families with few children.

But aristocratic families and wealthy families are different. Their families have great businesses and many children.

Now Zhou Cheng suddenly restricted the purchase of grain, and his life was very difficult.

In the west of Yecheng, there is a small mansion, where the Wu family of Liyang lives.

The head of the Wu family has followed Yuan Shao to Yecheng.

Those who stayed in Yecheng and had no time to leave were the branches of the Wu family.

Now the Wu family in Yecheng has a total of thirty-one people, and among these thirty-one people, there are nine children.

As the saying goes, a half-grown man is a poor man.

Among the nine children, except one who has just turned one year old, the others are all seven or eight or nine years old. These children are all very good eaters, and they are not as hungry as adults.

"Father, please eat first."

At this time, Wu Qiong brought a bowl of wheat porridge that was so thin that it could be used as a mirror to his father Wu Da.

Wu Da sighed and said,"Let's give it to the children first."

Wu Qiong said:"They have all eaten."

Wu Da shook his head.

How could the children have enough to eat with such thin wheat porridge?

Wu Qiong put the porridge aside and said,"Father, I plan to go to the Talent Recruitment Center to find a job. Wu

Da's eyes widened and he slammed the table angrily:"The Wu family in Liyang would rather starve to death than become a thief!""

Wu Qiong said hurriedly:"Father, don't be angry, Qiong knows he was wrong."

Although Wu Da was strong-willed and Wu Qiong was very filial and obeyed his father's words, something happened soon in the Wu family.

Because the slaves of the Wu family were not registered in the household registration, their food was also provided by Wu. The Wu family provided it.

The Wu family didn't have enough to eat themselves, so how could it be provided to them?

Once a person is hungry to a certain level, it is easy to do anything.

The simplest thing is to eat secretly.

After Wu Qiong discovered that there was less food, He immediately interrogated the family, but none of the slaves were willing to admit it.

Wu Da was so angry that he killed the slaves.

As a result, the slaves in the Wu family were so scared that they fled overnight and took refuge in the military camp in the city.

……

Wu's situation is just a microcosm.

Because Zhou Cheng has limited food and has a clear household registration.

If the wealthy families in the city still want to keep their slaves, they will need enough food.

Although they hoped for the stars and the moon, hoping that Yuan Shao would come back soon, Yecheng was still in Zhou Cheng's hands.

October 193 AD.

It has been more than two months since the purchase restriction order was implemented.

Zhou Cheng came to the recruitment hall again, which was different from more than two months ago.

There were obviously a lot more people near the recruitment hall today.

These people obviously have a purpose, but they are still waiting and watching.

Zhou Cheng said to Zhen Xian:"I'm going to set up a way to bake bread, beef and mutton outside the recruiting hall."

Don't you want to be a thief?

Isn’t it morally right?

In front of the True Fragrance Law, Zhou Cheng wanted to test their strength.

"Here."Zhen Xian immediately obeyed.

Soon, Zhen Xian got a charcoal stove to bake bread and beef and mutton.

The streets were filled with the aroma of bread and beef and mutton.

People passing by the recruitment hall stopped one by one. , swallowing hard.

Wu Qiong has been wandering on the street for a long time. He has not eaten since he woke up.

In order to let his children and family eat more, he and his wife only eat one meal a day.

At this moment, the smell of flour cakes , and the oily aroma of beef and mutton roasting, all stimulating Wu Qiong.

At this time, there was already a young man dressed as a scribe who couldn't bear it and stepped into the recruitment hall.

The young scribe was in the recruitment hall. After completing the registration, he received a piece of noodle cake with meat and started eating it with everyone on his back.

Wu Qiong touched his slumped belly, gritted his teeth, walked into the recruitment hall, and came to Zhen Yue.

Wu Qiong Said:"Wu Qiong and Wu Zirong of Liyang were familiar with poetry and books since childhood. They once traveled to Runan and studied under the famous scholar Xu Zizheng."

When ancient people introduced themselves, they would mention their 'educational qualifications' just like modern people.

The most typical one is Liu

Bei. Zhou Cheng curiously asked Jia Xu,"Teacher, is Xu Zizheng famous?

Jia Xu replied:"Runan Xu Qian, named Zizheng, and Xu Shao, Xu Zijiang Pingyu Erlong.""

Xu Shao established a reputation when he was young. He had integrity, liked to criticize people, and appreciated many people. He would criticize people at that time once a month. He was known as the"Yuedan Review." He once commented that Cao Cao was"a capable minister in governing the world, and a leader in troubled times.""Treacherous hero"

Therefore, after hearing Jia Xu mention Xu Shao, Zhou Cheng probably understood Xu Zheng's talents.

Wu Qiong once traveled to study Xu Zheng, and his academic qualifications were not bad.

Zhou Cheng said:"Send someone to announce with a notice that Wu Zirong of Liyang has entered the palace." Riding the General's Mansion, send rice, noodles, fish and meat to his house"

"The Lord is wise."Jia Xu said with a smile.

Regardless of whether Wu Qiong is talented or not, Zhou Cheng doesn't mind.

The main thing is that he plays a good leading role.

With Wu Qiong taking the lead, the scholars who are still in Jizhou will not be hungry even if they are hungry. They have to surrender to Zhou Cheng.

Of course, if there are people who would rather die than obey, then Zhou Cheng doesn't mind.

Anyway, if they want to starve to death, they will starve to death. This is their freedom.
