"There's no hurry." Zhou Yu said lightly: "I heard that there are some problems with the accounts of this teacher? ”

Zhang Hong smiled, pointed at Yang Yi and said, "Boy, General Zhou Xingshi is here to ask for the guilt, why don't you invite General Zhou to sit in the hall and answer carefully?" ”

Yang Yi was not in a hurry, and invited Zhou Yu to sit down. Zhou Yu threw his hand at Zhang Hong again and again. "Sir, if you say that, I won't dare to sit down, so I'll go back to the camp and wait for the sin." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhang Hong stretched out his hand and grabbed it, laughed, held Zhou Yu and said, "Gongjin, aren't you hurting me?" If you go out of this door today, Cai Bojiao will leave me a note in the history books, and my notoriety will not be washed away. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Mr.'s moral articles are all first-class, and in the future, the biography of famous ministers will not be ranked first but also second." ”

Zhang Hong looked at Zhou Yu and smiled without saying a word. The two went to the hall, the guests and hosts sat down, Yang Yi began to report the accounts, and said clearly one by one, some of the accounts were wrong because of clerical errors, and some of the accounts were obviously made by someone from them, which was exposed in front of Yang Yi's explanation of the analysis and division.

After Yang Yi finished speaking, Zhang Hong said: "Gong Jin, we also know that the soldiers are working hard, so we never dare to deduct a penny from what we should give." General Sun also took care of him many times, and those who dared to deduct military funds were guilty of one more degree. To tell you the truth, the warehouses in Nanyang counties have been swept clean by us, and if there is a disaster, I can only be cheeky to borrow. It is my responsibility that some bereavement pensions have not been paid in place, but we must also make clear about these false accounts, and we must not let the food saved by the people of Nanyang from their mouths enter the pockets of some moths. ”

Zhou Yu took the file from Yang Yi and nodded solemnly. "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely find out the matter and give Mr. an explanation." He bowed to Yang Yi again. "Thank you Yang Jun for your insight, Yang Jun is the presiding accountant and raising funds, and we are blessed."

Yang Yi blushed suddenly, and hurriedly returned the salute, saying that she didn't dare. He had caused so much trouble for Zhou Yu, and he was ready to be refuted by Zhou Yu, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to thank him instead, which caught him off guard.

Zhou Yu asked about the situation in Guanzhong again. He had just returned from Jiangnan, and he didn't know much about the negotiations in Guanzhong. Sun Ce has been in contact with him, and there will be news every few days, and if there is something, there will be more talk, and if there is nothing, there will be less talk. He mentioned the matter of sending Jiang Gan to Guanzhong, the purpose was very simple, that is, to implement the strategy proposed by Xun Yu to respect the king and Yuan. He also knew that this strategy was indeed beneficial to Sun Ce, but the difficulties were not small, especially the food shortage was difficult to solve. Zhang Hong also said just now that the warehouses in Nanyang counties are empty, so how to prepare the grain for Guanzhong has become a problem.

Specifically, Zhou Yu is involved, that is, whether it is necessary to transfer grain from Nanjun and Jiangnan, and how much it will be transferred, and whether it will affect the supply of the Nanjun garrison. Cao Cao took Yizhou at a lightning speed, exceeding their expectations, the defense line of Zigui and Yiling must be strengthened, and other places can be slowed down, and the grain in these counties cannot be moved, not only can not be moved, but also replenished as appropriate.

Zhang Hong answered Zhou Yu's question.

According to Sun Ce's plan, two million stones may have to be transferred to Guanzhong before and after, but these two million do not need to be transported at one time, and the first batch is only ready to give 300,000 stones. These grains were temporarily raised by the five counties of Danshui and Xixian, mainly by borrowing from local families, and repaying them with the land rent after the autumn for a period of three months with an interest of three cents. In the past two years, there has been no war in Nanyang, and the family and many people have some grain in their families, which will not affect their livelihood for the time being, and they can earn some interest, and they are not against it. In the five counties, there are 780,000 stone for more and 20,000 stone for less, and there is no problem in raising 300,000 stone grain.

According to the estimates of the Guanzhong household registration and the garrison, these 300,000 stones can solve the urgent need, alleviate the disaster situation, and stabilize the people's minds. If the time can be postponed until after the autumn harvest in August, the pressure will be much less, and with Nanyang's household registration base and cultivated area, there will be no big problem in allocating 500,000 to 1 million at once. If it is to be allocated before the autumn harvest, the problem may be a little bigger, and at that time it may be necessary to transfer a part of the emergency from Jiangnan, or a part from Yingchuan.

These are all based on the absence of major wars. Sun Ce's main policy is to delay as much as possible, and to talk as much as possible, but to ensure the supply of military rations for the troops stationed in various localities, to be ready for combat at any time, and to promote peace through war. In the event of a real war, priority will be given to the supply of military rations. If it really doesn't work, I borrow from the family at a high interest rate, and if necessary, I can use the technology transfer of the wood school as a condition. As for Guanzhong, no matter how the negotiations progress, relief must be implemented to minimize the occurrence of starvation deaths as much as possible. The only difference is that if the negotiations go well, the grain will be transported to Guanzhong. When the negotiations did not go well, they attracted the hungry people to Nanyang and took the opportunity to empty the household registration in Guanzhong. After the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River are in hand, Tuntian is being expanded, and it is more than enough to resettle 100,000 households.

Zhou Yu comprehended, said goodbye to Zhang Hong, and came to the side courtyard.

The envoy Zhou Fang was circling in the courtyard. He is Zhou Zhong's second son, Zhou Yu's brother, five years older than Zhou Yu, and has been following Zhou Zhong since he became an adult, and he suffered some hardships in the past few years. After his brother Zhou Hui was killed, he became Zhou Zhong's heir, and this time Zhou Zhong moved to Dasi Nong, and he was also named Yilang by the Son of Heaven and was ordered to send an envoy to Nanyang.

He already knew that Zhou Yu was coming, he was waiting for news, he couldn't wait for the first time, and he didn't come again, he was already a little anxious, and he was going around in circles, and suddenly heard that Zhou Yu was coming, so he hurriedly returned to the hall and sat down, putting on a calm appearance. Seeing Zhou Yu, he got up, came to the bottom of the steps, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Zhou Yu's shoulder, and smiled affectionately: "Gongjin, don't come to harm?" Tsk, this is the majesty of the troops. ”

Zhou Yu smiled. "Gongming, you are laughing, how can I have the majesty of you, the messenger of the Son of Heaven. Uncle was promoted to Jiuqing, and you also officially joined the office, and after talking about official business later, go home with me, and I will set up a banquet to celebrate you. ”

Zhou Fang raised his eyebrows, hearing the meaning of Zhou Yu's words. "Gong Jin, Zhang Changshi refuses to accept the conditions of the imperial court? Do you know what the conditions are? ”

"Listen to what you mean, this condition is very tempting?"

Zhou Fang let go of Zhou Yu's shoulder, turned back and forth twice, and stood still in front of Zhou Yu. "Gong Jin, is the marquis considered a tempting condition?"

Zhou Yu remained silent. "Who is the marquis? What is the Hou sealed? ”

"Title your father and son as marquis." Zhou Fang said: "Of course, it is expected that General Sun's father and son will be promoted to the rank of knight, needless to say. The key is you, if you can facilitate this, the Son of Heaven can make your father and son the marquis, your father the marquis of Tongxiang, and you the marquis of Longshu. ”

Before Zhou Fang's words fell, Zhou Jun had already widened his eyes and let out an exclamation. "Really?"

Zhou Fang smiled, both a little proud and a little envious that couldn't be concealed. His grandfather Zhou Jing had the title of Marquis of Anyang, inherited by his uncle Zhou Chong, although his father Zhou Zhong was an official to Dasi Nong, the marquis was far away, and he did not dare to hope for extravagance. Zhou Yu's branch is even more hopeful. But now the times create heroes, Zhou Yu is attached to Sun Ce, not only can he be crowned the county marquis with his military exploits, but even his father Zhou Yi has followed the light and sealed the township marquis, and Longshu County and Tongxiang are very close to Shu County, which is a great honor.

Zhou Yu himself has a marquis, so Zhou Yi's Marquis of Tongxiang will be inherited by his brother Zhou Jun, and then passed on to Zhou Jun. In other words, even if Zhou Jun doesn't work hard now, he can inherit the title safely. Official titles cannot be inherited, but titles can be inherited. To some extent, the title is more rare than the third duke. So Zhou Yu hadn't spoken yet, Zhou Jun was already moved.

Because it's simply a temptation that can't be refused.
