Hearing Han Zhan’s question, Taishici couldn’t help but show an embarrassing expression on his face. After bowing to Han Zhan, he said in embarrassment: “My lord, it’s because my subordinates refuse to entertain the lord, because they can’t buy wine and food in the city.”

"What, can't you buy wine and food in the city?" Han Zhan was stunned after hearing Taishi Ci's reply, and said insidiously that although the city is not big, it is not as poor as it can't buy wine and food, right? He was silent for a moment and asked again: "Ziyi, what's going on, let's talk about it quickly."

"Return to the lord," Taishici said with a shameless look: "After recruiting thousands of new recruits in Yangzhou, his subordinates still have a lot of money left. After being trapped by Lu Bu's troops in this city, they can still buy grain from grain merchants for their soldiers to eat. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, several major grain merchants in the city suddenly said that they had no food and refused to sell grain to their subordinates again, which resulted in the army being cut off..."

With a loud bang, Han Zhan raised his foot and kicked the short cock in front of him, saying, "The unscrupulous businessman, who maliciously cut off our military rations, his intentions are punished. He should be killed, he should be killed! Come, come!"

Standing outside the hall, Chen Dao heard Han Zhan’s shouts and hurriedly walked into the main hall, waiting for Han Zhan’s instructions.

Han Zhan pointed at Chen Daxu twice with his hands and said angrily: "Shuzhi, please take people to arrest the damn grain merchants in a lot of ways."

Before Chen Dao left, Guo Jia asked tentatively: "Lord, I wonder what you plan to deal with these grain merchants?"

"Kill, don't leave any one, kill them all!" Han Zhan said angrily: "I want these shameless villains to understand what the consequences will be used if they offend me."

"Master, please think twice." When Guo Jia learned that Han Zhan was planning to kill all the grain merchants in the city, he quickly dissuaded: "Our army will sooner or later enter Xuzhou. If we slaughter Xuzhou grain merchants at this moment, it may be hindered the reputation of our army."

"Fengxiao, it is precisely because our army will enter Xuzhou sooner or later that these grain merchants must be severely punished so as not to let the local tyrants think that our army is weak and can be bullied." Han Zhan explained a few words to Guo Jia in a stern tone and ordered Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, not only will he arrest all the grain merchants, but also confiscate their property..."

Speaking of this, Han Zhan was silent for a while, and silently considered in his heart how to deal with the property of these grain merchants. After thinking of a charter, he continued: "As for the confiscated grain merchants' property, take out 30% of the property, and distribute it to the people in the city, and the rest should be used as military resources."

Seeing that Han Zhan had made up his mind, Guo Jia did not persuade him anymore. He also felt that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, he really needed to establish his authority. Otherwise, even if he seized the city of Xuzhou, he would not be able to gain a foothold here. He just asked, "Lord, I can lead my troops to confiscate the property of the grain merchant, but I wonder who do you plan to send to the prison and kill?"

Han Zhan turned his eyes to Yu Qianling, who was sitting in the corner, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Is this gentleman, is this what General Ziyi said about Yu Qianling?"

When Yu Qianling heard Han Zhan call him, he quickly got up and bowed to salute: "If you return to Anyang Hou, you are a villain."

Since Han Zhan decided to send troops to Qingzhou and prepare to unify the four northern prefectures, he has been constantly recruiting talents. However, because he is too young and has a shallow foundation, even if he uses the emperor to command the princes, the talents who come to join him are very limited. Although this Yu Qianling is unknown, since he can take the initiative to join, he is ready to entrust him with important tasks.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan smiled and said, "Sir, since I have come to sue, I will never treat you badly." He thought quickly for a moment, and felt that just captured Qingzhou, a large number of officials needed to go to govern. The Qianling standing in front of him could be sent over first. "Now, there is a prefect in Le'an County, Qingzhou, where there is a prefect who is empty. I wonder if the sir is willing to surrender?"

Yu Qian ordered the first person to abandon his official position and leave with Taishi Ci, because his old master Liu Yao was at a disadvantage in competing with Yuan Shu for Yangzhou. Even if he continued to stay, he would probably not be able to maintain his official position. Therefore, he voluntarily gave up his official position and followed Taishi Ci to Qingzhou to join Han Zhan.

When he was trapped in Licheng by Lu Bu's troops, Yu Qianling secretly regretted it. If he hadn't had nowhere to go, he would have escaped quietly. Fortunately, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others led their troops to rescue him, which made him free from despair. Seeing Han Zhan coming to Licheng in person, he was still thinking about how to attract the other party's attention and he could also get a job.

Yu Qianling never dreamed that Han Zhan was so generous that he actually appointed himself as the prefect. Although Le'an County is not a big county in Qingzhou, no matter what, his power was much greater than when he was Yu Qianling. He quickly knelt down in front of Han Zhan and said gratefully: "Thank you, lord, lord!"

"Sir, please don't give me a gift, please get up quickly!" Han Zhan asked Yu Qianling to get up, and then remembered that he didn't know what the other party called, and asked tentatively: "I don't know what sir should call him?"

When he heard Han Zhan ask about his name, Yu Qianling quickly replied: "When you say that, your subordinate surname is Wang Hun and his courtesy name is Xuan Chong, and he is from Yangzhou."

"Prince Wang," Han Zhan nodded after knowing the other party's name and continued, "I ordered my subordinates to arrest the grain merchants in the city. Please draft a notice and list the crimes of these grain merchants so that the people in the city will know. After they are punished by the wise canon, you will distribute grain to the people. I wonder if the premier Wang is happy?"

After Wang Hun was appointed as the prefect of Le'an County by Han Zhan, he was about to find an opportunity to show off. Hearing Han Zhan's arrangement, he quickly replied: "Since the lord has a order, his subordinates should obey the order."

After Wang Hun and Chen Da left, Guo Jia looked at their backs and thought about Han Zhan's intention of making such arrangements, and couldn't help but nod.

Guo Jia's action was seen by Han Zhan. Han Zhan asked with a smile: "Fengxiao, have you guessed the purpose of this arrangement?"

Guo Jia turned around and replied with a smile, "The lord gave Wang Hun the position of prefect Wang Hun to buy bones for a thousand gold coins. I believe a large number of talented people will come to join us soon. As for asking him to give up the list to calm the people and deal with those grain merchants, it is to test his ability. If he is really talented and knowledgeable, with his lord's personality, he will definitely use him in the future."
