The winter in Chaisang came very quickly. Not many days after the winter solstice, the first heavy snow had already covered this land.

I have seen Xue Cao Chong, but I have never seen Xue Cao Chong during the Three Kingdoms period.

Fine snowflakes floated in this place shortly after the war. They looked like elves, dressing the earth in a somewhat beautiful and exquisite way.

The snowflakes floated without a cover, and the mountains and fields were all white.

The wet early winter snowflakes floated on the trees by the roadside. There were several places where the branches of the crisp poplar trees were crushed by the snow. The birds looking for food spread their wings and jumped among the trees, shaking the snow on the branches.

The nearby provincial capital was buried in the snow, and the distant Yangtze River turned gray in the smoke of snow; no matter how far it was, it dissolved into the hazy space, and Cao Chong became hazy.

The first snow represents the coldness. Cao Chongjun pulled his body and stretched his hand into his sleeve.

Cao Chong looked at the beautiful scenery in front of the window, but Sun Shangxiang hugged Cao Chong from behind.

"Husband, is there anything good about this snow scene? Is there no snow in Yecheng?"

Cao Chong put Sun Shangxiang's hand in his clothes and said with a smile: "There is naturally snow in Yecheng, and the snow is much bigger than that of Chaisang."

Sun Shangxiang leaned her head on Cao Chong's shoulder and said in a sad tone: "Husband, take me to Xudu quickly. I want to pay homage to my mother now and meet those sisters."

Cao Chong naturally knew why Sun Shangxiang was in a hurry to leave. She didn't want to face the situation on Chaisang's side, and she wanted to leave this sad place.

Making his woman depressed was not Cao Chong's style, so Cao Chong held Sun Shangxiang's hand and joked with Sun Shangxiang.

"Oh, aren't you afraid that I will ignore you after I return to Xudu?"

Sun Shangxiang hummed twice, bit Cao Chong's shoulder with a little force, and said vaguely: "If you dare to ignore me, I will bite you to death with your mouth!"

Kill me to death?

Cao Chong smiled on his face and said to Sun Shangxiang: "Your mouth can't bite me to death, but if it's biting it elsewhere, I don't mind."

As soon as Cao Chong finished speaking, Sun Shangxiang seemed to remember something unbearable and bit Cao Chong very hard.

Cao Chong took a breath and threw Sun Shangxiang on the bed.

"Good girl, let's see how I deal with you with my husband!"

The round of conquest began again!

....................................

Time flies!

In a blink of an eye, it was already December.

In December, Chaisang was extremely cold, and Cao Chong discussed disaster relief in the lobby of the mansion.

The snow fell particularly hard this year. Although it was good for the wheat to mature next year, it was too heavy to be unable to withstand the snow.

In the cold weather and the fact that there was just a war, Jiangdong's grain reserves, or the people's hands, were not much. I believe that in another month, these Jiangdong people would either starve to death or become slaves to aristocratic families. Some people would even rise up and make a way out for themselves.

If you let the people live, then the people will rebel against you!

Water can carry a boat and can also overturn it!

In the later era of science and technology, the power of the people even scares officials, let alone this era.

Cao Cao could naturally understand the feelings of these people, so after knowing the situation, he immediately ordered Cao Chong to organize disaster relief matters.

Cao Cao gave this matter to Cao Chong, so he naturally had the purpose of taking Cao Chong. In Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Chong already had military talents. In the troubled times, military talents are naturally important, but now it is not a troubled time. The world has been unified, and now it is a prosperous era!

What's the use of fighting in a prosperous era?

Useless!

In the prosperous era, someone needed to restore people's livelihood and cure the wounds of the land of China, which had been suffering from hundreds of years of war. This work is not a warrior, or can be solved by knowing how to fight.

The king of the future must be able to govern the country!

Of course, these are Cao Chong's guesses. In fact, since Sun Quan died, Cao Cao's attitude has become ambiguous.

Although Cao Cao still praised himself all the time, he rarely praised himself in front of his predecessors. Instead, he often preached himself in front of others.

Cao Chong could understand a little about the truth in this.

Cao Cao saw that his reputation was too high and wanted to suppress himself, but this was not really suppressing, but for others to see.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. This is the reason for Cao Chong now.

If Cao Chong was always in the limelight, then not only would Cao Pi want to get rid of Cao Chong, but even Cao Zhi would think that his threat was greater than Cao Pi.

At that time, he was attacked by Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, and he really had no chance of winning at all.

Therefore, Cao Chong actually had no objection to Cao Cao's "suppression".

Thoughts turned around, Cao Chong looked at the people in the hall and asked slowly: "It's snowing heavily, and the people have no food. Do you have any good plans?"

Cao Chong's eyes were like hooks, and he stroked his faces from Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Lu Xun, and Zhou Buyi. When he asked this question, Cao Chong's heart was full of accomplishment.

These top advisers from the Three Kingdoms are now all my subordinates of Cao Chong. With these people, Cao Chong has endless confidence in his heart.

Cao Pi, why are you afraid of it?

After Cao Chong said this, Xu Shu stepped forward and spoke.

"Cangshu, people want to eat. If the people have no food, the prime minister will burn down the good situation in Jiangdong. Why not open the grain in the treasury and respond first?"

Cao Chong glanced at Xu Shu. Before he could start talking, Lu Xun stepped forward and spoke.

"Report to the Zhonglang, it's not that I don't want to use the treasury, but the treasury is really out of food."

The treasury has no food?

Xu Shu was startled, shook his head, and said in a suspicious tone: "Three generations of the Sun family managed Jiangdong, how could they not even have surplus grain? This is impossible!"

In fact, when Cao Chong heard the news, he thought it was impossible at first, but the Chaisang treasury did not have food.

Although Cao Chong didn't know the tricks in this, he could still guess the rough one.

It was the unfair hands of the Jiangdong families who had reached out to their food. Cao Chong turned his head and looked at Lu Xun, thinking that the Lu family might have made a lot of profits in it.

Even Cao Chong could think of this, let alone Xu Shu?

So Xu Shuhei looked cold and asked Lu Xun: "I'm afraid there is a lot of food stored in the Lu family?"

Lu Xun heard what Xu Shu meant. The Lu family was a powerful family. There were countless land manors in Jiangdong, so there were naturally a lot of grain storage, but they were all their own. How could they take out their own grain storage to confiscate?

As for the food in the treasury, Lu Xun knew which aristocratic families had taken it away, but he would not say it.

As soon as he said that, he offended all those aristocratic families.

Sinner, Lu Xun is wrong!

"There are food stored, but it is all accumulated by ancestors from generation to generation, and it is not ill-gotten wealth."

Xu Shu glanced at Lu Xun with a squint eyes, turned his eyes and said to Cao Chong: "Cang Shu, this matter may be handed over to Junjie of the Lu family, and he will definitely do this for you, Cang Shu."

Of course, Cao Chong knew what Xu Shu meant, and he also had this meaning in his heart.

Since the master and apprentice's plan was the same, Cao Chong coughed twice and said to Lu Xun: "Boyan, since the Master recommended you to do this, I will hand it over to you, okay?"

not good!

Lu Xun really wanted to say something bad, but he looked at Cao Chong's eyes and knew that if this sentence was not good, let alone him, even the Lu family would be tortured by Cao Chong. So Lu Xun was silent for a while and finally nodded.

"Lu Xun received the order."
