Chen Qun's mansion was not far from Zhong Yao's mansion. Two members of the Zhong Mansion helped him go home directly. When the cold wind blew, he couldn't help but squat in the corner of the wall. At this time, the butler of his mansion also rushed to hear the news and helped him back to the mansion.

His wife, Xun and her son, Chen Tai, also received the news and rushed to the gate to pick him up, "How about your husband?" Xun asked worriedly.

At this time, Chen Qun had already woken up, and he waved his hand, "Help me to the inner study room first, I have something to talk to you."

Xun and his brother hurriedly helped Chen Qun to the inner study room. They helped their husband sit down in the study room, kissed Xun's tea that had been fried for her husband, and asked the maid to prepare a hot towel, which was busy inside and out.

Chen Qunze sat in his seat in a daze. He was still savoring what he said to Zhong Yao. Although it was a drunken word, it came from the heart. Now that he woke up, he became more aware of the danger, which made him more determined.

At this time, Xun washed his face for him. He waved his hand and asked the two maids to retreat. He pointed to the door and said to Chen Tai: "Close the door, I have something to say to you."

Chen Tai was puzzled and hurriedly closed the door, stood by his hands hanging down, while Xun held her husband's hand and asked, "What do you want to say to us?"

Chen Qun said slowly: "I have decided to leave Wei and serve Han."

Xun was shocked, "How did you think of this?"

Chen Qun sighed, "I have seen Duke Wei today. He has not been long since he has succeeded to the throne. If I succeed to the throne in the world, I will not allow me. If I don't leave, I will only die."

Xun is the daughter of Xun Yu. She knew very well that her father was excluded by Cao Cao because he was devoted to the Han Dynasty and died of depression. She never wanted her husband to go on the same page. She nodded and said, "If your husband has decided, I will definitely support you."

"Where are you?" Chen Qun asked again.

Chen Tai is only twenty years old this year, but Wu Shuangquan is also a potential general. Chen Qun has only one, and has two other daughters, both of whom have not yet been married.

Currently, Chen Tai is a guard who holds the spear in Tongque Palace. He is on the turn of rest at home today. He is also a smart person, so he nodded and said, "The whole world is devoted to the Han Dynasty. If the father serves the King of Han, it will be a wise move, and the child will fully agree."

Chen Qun was relieved by his wife and children's statements. He said to the two again: "I have an idea. In another month, it will be the New Year. We will take our family back to Yingchuan to worship our ancestors, and then go directly to Nanyang County."

Xun had no idea, but her husband Ma Shizhan, but Chen Tai was meticulous. He thought for a while and said, "Although this is reasonable, my father didn't say that Cao Zhen was a member of Cao Pi. Will he send someone to monitor his father's whereabouts?"

"You're right, I have to beware of this."

Chen Qun also knew that he wanted to follow Jia Xu and lead his family to escape unscrupulously. Without the help of the Han Dynasty, it would be difficult to succeed. Especially Xuchang was Cao Pi's sphere of influence, and Cao Zhen would definitely monitor himself closely.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Qun had a general plan in his mind. He said to his son: "I have a plan, I'm afraid you need to implement it."

...

On the morning of the day, the city of Yedu was still in chaos. Although Cao Pi ordered to invest 100,000 stones of grain to stabilize the price of grain, set up ten grain sales sites, and sell them at a price of two coins per bull, and each person could only buy five dou of rice.

This was Cao Pi's experience half a year ago. More than half a year later, a conflict broke out in Nanyang, which also caused the grain prices in Yedu to soar. Cao Pi invested 100,000 stones of grain to stabilize the price of grain. After a day, the grain prices were suppressed.

This time, Cao Pi made the same move. According to the normal state, the grain prices would fall at most days, but this time it was a little different from the last time. It was still crowded. Each sales point was lined up, and every team leader was several miles away. Almost everyone in each household was dispatched, and even five or six-year-old children appeared in the team.

What Cao Pi did not expect was that the people's purchasing power was particularly strong, and the 100,000 s of grain he invested was bought in one morning. He had to invest 100,000 grain again the next day, but the supply was still in short supply, and many people from other places rushed to Yedu to buy grain.

Although the government has invested 200,000 shi of grain to stabilize the price of grain, the price of grain in the market has not been suppressed, and it is still five cents of rice. However, the grain prices in other counties in Wei County, where Yedu is located have risen to six cents of rice, and the situation is very serious.

Cao Pi did not expect that the free trade was liberalized half a year ago, causing a large amount of Han money to pour into Wei State, and the people saved a lot of money. The loss of Lishi County was undoubtedly a fuse, causing the Wei State's grain prices to suddenly lose control and soar in price. Not only food, but also all living expenses rose across the board, which is the serious consequence of the shortage of materials.

Of course, this shortage of materials will not last forever, but this situation of high prices will be maintained for at least one or two years. This is the consequence of the economic war, and this consequence will not be formed in one or two days.

As early as ten years ago, the new Han coins were gradually accepted by the people of Wei and gradually replaced the Wuzhu coins on the Central Plains market, which planted today's roots at that time. Free trade six months ago was just the last harvest of the Han Dynasty.

Although the government has begun to calm the food prices, the streets of Yedu are still very chaotic, with queues and quarrels everywhere, and people are constantly fighting on the streets. Soldiers who maintain order are running around, making them frustrated.

The front of the Honglu Pavilion in the Han Dynasty was relatively calm. More than a dozen Cao army soldiers stood guard in front of the gate. Their responsibilities were not only to maintain the safety of the Honglu Pavilion, but also to closely monitor the contact between Yedu officials and the Honglu Pavilion.

As noon approached, two groups of gangsters broke out in front of the Hanguo Pavilion to compete for a few bags of food, and then fought, causing chaos in front of the Honglu Pavilion. More than a dozen Cao soldiers guarding the door were furious and rushed up and whipped with a whip, "Get out quickly! Don't make trouble here."

Just as Cao's soldiers rushed forward to maintain order, a young man took advantage of the opportunity of being unguarded at the gate and quickly slipped into the Honglu Pavilion...

The young man who sneaked into the Honglu Pavilion was Chen Qunzhi and Chen Tai. Although Chen Qun's plan was simple, it was also very practical. There were fighting everywhere in the city, and no one would pay attention to the fights in front of the Honglu Pavilion.

Chen Tai hired the two gangsters who fought for money. As long as they attracted the Cao army soldiers guarding the gate, the gangsters scattered, and Chen Tai, who was mixed in the crowd, took the opportunity to sneak into the Honglu Hall.

In the room, Chen Tai handed over his father's letter to Shaoqing Zheng Li, "This is my father's letter to His Highness the King of Han. My father is willing to serve the Han Kingdom, and I only hope that the Han Kingdom can help our whole family leave the Wei territory."

Another important task of Shaoqing Zheng Li in Yedu was to recruit high-ranking officials of the Wei State and former Han Dynasty who were willing to serve the Han State. They had contacted many middle and lower-level officials, and Chen Qun was the first high-ranking official to be willing to surrender to the Han State, which made Zheng Li pay attention to it.

Zheng Li took the letter and immediately said, "We warmly welcome Lingzun to contribute to the restoration of the Han Dynasty. Please rest assured. I will arrange everything immediately to ensure that Lingzun and his whole family leave the Wei territory safely."

Chen Tai was overjoyed and said, "My father was going to return to Yingchuan to worship his ancestors during the New Year, so he took that opportunity to go to Nanyang County. My father was worried that Cao Zhen would send someone to monitor him, so he hoped that the Han Kingdom would help us at that time."

"Don't worry! We will make arrangements and there will be no mistakes."

After pausing, Zheng Li said again: "The key is that this matter must be kept strictly confidential. The fewer people know, the better. You must not disclose any news, including me."

Chen Tai nodded, "At present, only my parents and I know about this, and even my two sisters don't know about it. We will not let the fourth person know about it anymore. In addition, why did I leave secretly? Don't let people know that I have been to the Honglu Pavilion. I hope Zheng Jun will help."

Zheng Li smiled mysteriously, "There is a secret passage in the Honglu Pavilion, which has never been opened yet. The man is the first person."

....

At night, Chen Tai crawled out of a secret passage. He found that he had arrived in a small river outside the shore. It was no longer within the scope of defense and was not guarded by soldiers. The exit of the secret passage was set on the stone wall above the river water. It was sealed very well to prevent the river water from pouring back.

There is a pleasure boat moored outside the exit for many years, just covering the exit of the secret passage. There is another small boat parked next to it. After coming out of the pleasure boat, you can row a small boat and leave directly or go ashore.

Zheng Li kept sending Chen Tai out of the pleasure boat, and then said to him: "Please take care of me, see you in Chang'an!"

"There will be a time later!"

Chen Tai waved his hand, jumped ashore, and left with great strides.

Zheng Li returned to the Honglu Pavilion and immediately wrote a quick letter, put it in the bookcase bag along with Chen Qun's handwritten letter, and handed it to a confidant. He told him: "Come to Chang'an quickly and hand it over to Liu Zhengqing, and ask him to transfer it to His Highness the King of Han immediately."

His subordinates bowed and took the book bag. He left Yedu with two followers that night and rushed to Chang'an with a quick horse.

....

After the Han army captured Xihe County, Bingzhou, it no longer continued to advance eastward and did not launch any other offensives. It is obvious that this attack on Lishi County was to detonate the economic crisis accumulated in Wei.

At this time, the Han State had completely stopped trade with Wei State and blocked all the official roads leading to Wei State. Only goods were allowed to be transported from Wei State, but goods from Han State were never allowed to be transported out.

The Han army immediately seized fourteen shops suspected of smuggling pig iron and grain to the Wei State and arrested more than a celebrity. Liu Jing ordered the owners of the fourteen shops to beheaded and all the property was confiscated. He warned the merchants of the Han Dynasty that all smugglers who violated the ban will be killed without mercy.

The circulation of materials was cut off, and the Han money in Wei State could not flow back. Prices in the Han Dynasty were stable, but the Wei State was in chaos, prices soared, and the public was full of resentment. People with wealthy families felt that their wealth was shrinking, but the people at the bottom were suffering. A large number of hungry people flocked to Yedu. If they could not afford food, they could only become bandits, or cause trouble. There were people in seven or eight counties in Hebei who rebelled and rebelled.

Cao Pi continued to invest 100,000 stones of grain, but still could not stabilize the price of grain. On the eve of the New Year, the price of grain grew wildly to a thousand coins for rice. He was helpless. Cao Pi had to adopt Zhong Yao's suggestion, stop all goods trading, confiscate private grain, and start to implement a strict grain rationing system.

In the midst of chaos and disorder, the 24th year of Jian'an has finally arrived.
