The first year of Jian'an.

In August, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty led hundreds of civil and military officials to return to Luoyang.

In September, Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven in Xudu, served as the Sikong, rode the military general, and took over the power.

The population of Xudu increased greatly, and there was a shortage of grain and grass, so Cao Cao had to order the transfer of grain and grass from the counties.

...

East of Xudu City, Guancang.

"50,000 wheat, not enough to survive this winter!"

A middle-aged man with thin eyes and long hair stepped into the gate of the official warehouse with his hands in his hands.

Behind them, the young Confucian had sharp eyes, and the warrior was as strong as an ox, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, which was different from ordinary people at first glance.

"Open the granary!".

The middle-aged man pointed to a granary in front of him, and his words and expressions carried the domineering of the superior.

The hurried guards looked at each other and did not move.

Dian Wei glared at the tiger and shouted: "Are you all deaf, the king ordered you to open the granary!"

The thunderous shouts shook the scalp of the pawn, and he had to open the door of the warehouse.

"These hasty guards look suspicious and behave, they must be tired of coming to this granary!"

Guo Jia lowered his voice and said in the ear of the middle-aged man.

Cao Cao frowned.

Grain and grass are a matter of great importance.

Today, he pretended to be the identity of the chief bookkeeper Wang Bi, and came to the official warehouse to inspect at night, just because he didn't want to startle the snake and wanted to see the real situation of the official warehouse.

"These wheat are for a hundred officials, and if you dare to be greedy, the government must behead him!"

Cao Cao's eyebrows condensed with a terrifying murderous aura.

Guo Jia sneered: "I don't have the courage to swallow the official grain, at most, I will use the old grain to steal the new grain in the warehouse, and then take the new grain to the market and resell it to make a profit." "

The voice fell.

The granary door opens in front of me.

Empty position!

A granary that could store thousands of grains and grass was empty, and there was not a grain of wheat.

Guo Jia changed color slightly.

The second granary was open and empty.

The third one, empty.

The fourth, the fifth, the sixth....

All the granaries were empty.

Cao Cao's face became more and more gloomy.

"Actually swallowed all the grain and grass privately, the courage of this little cangling is too fat!".

Guo Jia looked shocked and incredulous.

The scene in front of him was obviously unexpected by him.

"Take down the hasty pawns and torture them immediately!".

Cao Cao shouted angrily, his eyes were on fire.

Dian Wei immediately took down several hasty soldiers.

Wails and begs for mercy rang out.

"Qi Yu Sikong, I have tortured it clearly, the name of the cangling is Cao Yuan. "

Two months ago, this person smuggled 50,000 wheat and smuggled it all to his private warehouse. "

"And that guy's private warehouse is separated from the official warehouse by a wall!"

Dian Wei revealed the results of the torture.

Cao Yuan?

Same surname as yourself.

But Cao Cao couldn't remember that among the children of his Cao family, there was such a number one person.

"How dare this Cao Yuan have the courage to covet 50,000 grains and grass in one breath under Sikong's nose, and dare to build a private warehouse next to the official warehouse?"

Guo Jia was amazed.

He is not uncommon with corrupt officials.

Such an arrogant corrupt official is the first time I have encountered it.

"I want to see if this Cao Yuan has a few heads, and he dares to be so arrogant!"

Cao Cao was also piqued with curiosity.

He asked Dian Wei to forcibly break the wall and open up the private warehouse separated by a wall.

Step into the private warehouse and light the torch.

Cao Cao gasped.

Good guy, Cao Yuan's private warehouse is twice the area of the official warehouse next door!

All granaries are opened.

Each one was filled with grain and grass, and some were so full that they overflowed.

"Sikong, I have made a rough estimate, these granaries add up, at least 300,000 wheat!"

Guo Jia's voice was slightly hoarse.

"300,000 wheat?".

Cao Cao's eyes widened suddenly.

With so much grain and grass, it is absolutely impossible to be greedy for the little grain in the official warehouse.

He spent a lot of effort from the counties of Yanyu to collect 50,000 wheat.

Even if it is a first-class family like the Yingchuan Xun clan, he does not have the confidence to take out so much grain and grass.

Cao Yuan.

A small official with no background.

actually hid 300,000 grains privately

"Sikong, this is not wheat, it's rice!"

Dian Wei punctured one of the sacks.

Pearl-like white grains of rice flowed out with a bang.

Cao Cao's heart was shocked, he drew his sword in his hand, and punctured more than ten sacks one after another.

All that flowed out of it was the finest rice!

Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other, and the eyes of the two ministers had changed from confusion to shock.

The staple food in the north is mainly wheat.

Due to the inconvenience of transportation, the price of rice transported from the south to the north has increased several times.

Those who can afford rice in the north are either rich or expensive.

The price of more than 300,000 hui of rice in front of him can be worth 600,000 hui wheat.

It's enough to feed 10,000 soldiers for three years!

"This Cao Yuan is not simple...."

Cao Cao looked down at the rice in his hand and muttered to himself.

...

West of Xudu City, Cao House.

Exquisite courtyard.

A handsome young man is idly drinking wine in a luminous glass, admiring the moonlight overhead.

Cao Yuan.

A time-traveler from the Hereafter.

An accident half a year ago allowed him to travel through thousands of years of time and space, come to the end of the Han Dynasty, and become a rich son of Huainan.

In order to avoid disaster, the widowed mother Qin decided to move her family north to Xudu.

Unfortunately, before their mother and son arrived in Xudu, the Qin family fell seriously ill.

Before dying, Qin gave Cao Yuan a piece of jade pendant and asked him to take the jade pendant to see Cao Cao.

Cao Yuan thought that his mother had an old relationship with Cao Cao, and wanted to let himself go to Cao Cao and seek a future.

At this juncture, the "Small Treasury Buff System" has awakened.

The money of the government is smuggled into his own small treasury, whether it is grain, rice, or money, it can be doubled every month.

You can also get a variety of additional rewards.

"God gave me such a golden finger, it must be a hint that I want to make a fortune in silence, don't covet any career?".

Cao Yuan persuaded himself with such reasons.

He did not ask to see Cao Cao, but sold his wealth and sought the official position of a small official.

The warehouse order is in charge of the warehouse, which is convenient for the embezzlement of government property.

"Ding! The host greedily put 50,000 hui of coarse wheat into the small treasury for a month, and gained 50,000 hui of rice. "

A mechanical voice sounded in my head.

Monthly gains are credited!

The great thing about this small vault is that it not only doubles the monthly buff, but also upgrades the buff.

Silver is greedy, and gold is doubled.

Wheat comes to the greedy, and rice is doubled.

In less than a few months, Cao Yuan's greedy 50,000 wheat, he had gained nearly 200,000 hui of rice.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting an additional reward: [Yanyun Eighteen Riders]!".

"Do you want to extract?".

The mechanical sound rang out again.

Yanyun Eighteen Rides!

The strongest guard in history.

It is rumored that everyone is an elite who is one against a hundred.

After all, these years are troubled times, and there are Yanyun eighteen horsemen as personal guards, just to protect themselves.

Cao Yuan nodded slightly with satisfaction, and ordered with his thoughts: "Extract it immediately." "

Eighteen rays of light and shadow flashed.

In front of him, there were already eighteen warriors with tigers on their backs and shaped like iron towers.

"Yanyun Eighteen Rides, Meet the Master!".

All the warriors paid homage in unison, which shook Cao Yuan's eardrums buzzing.

"Get up. "

Cao Yuan got up slowly and waved his hand: "Prepare the horse, I'm going to the small treasury, it's time to return the official grain." "

Cao Cao's wool should be saved, but the sheep should still be left to Cao Cao.

Otherwise, with Boss Cao's temper, it would be strange if he learned that the official food was privately swallowed, and he would not be exterminated.

Under the escort of Yanyun's eighteen horsemen, he left his house and went straight to the private warehouse in the east of the city.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived outside the small vault.

Get out of the car and push the door in.

The scene in front of him left his other foot outside the threshold.

All rice silos were opened.

More than a dozen strangers were staring at the granary, stunned.

The middle-aged man with seven feet in length and thin eyes and long hair heard the movement behind him and slowly turned around.

Cao Yuan and Cao Cao looked at each other.
