The bandits' troubles were temporarily calmed down, and after that, they had to think about the restoration of the city, the reward of the army, and the resettlement of the people.

There are two problems in front of Lan Junyuan, one is the lack of food in the city, and the food left by the bandits is only enough for the soldiers and civilians to eat for two days, and this is only a small crisis.

The origin of this unrest is that because of the heavy rains in Jiangxi, this year's harvest is gone, and after these two days, the whole province will fall into a state of famine.

The second is money, and when the siege of the city was promised, the soldiers were promised to be rewarded with silver, but in fact, there was no money at all.

To solve these problems.

The first one needs to transfer relief grain from Jiangnan, which Liang Yuqiang is already doing, but it will take at least ten days for the food to arrive, maybe more, how to spend these days in between?

The second one is really helpless, so they can only ask the court for military salaries, but their army court may not recognize it.

Lan Junyuan and Feng Shaoyu didn't sleep all night, discussed some small countermeasures, and on the morning of the second day, the next person brought water and rice porridge and reported back to the situation outside: "Since yesterday, people have been pouring into the city, and the number is about four hundred, but this is not the final result, so far, the number is still increasing. ”

The city was taken by the rebels, not in the name of the imperial army, so it was more popular than the imperial army, and the people had no other way to live, so it was a clear choice to take refuge in Jiangxi City.

But it will also put more pressure on the city, and at this number, it is possible to have tens of thousands more.

After listening to the words of his subordinates, Feng Shaoyu put down the rice bowl, looked at Lan Junyuan and said, "If this goes on for a long time, the result is that everyone is trapped here." How to solve the food problem? ”

Lan Junyuan bowed and let the subordinate go out first, and after he closed the door, he said, "I think I have to find Fang Taishou." Jiangxi has grain stocks every year, and Jiangxi City also has grain stocks. It's just for him to save it, if he can open a position and increase the volume, I estimate that it will be enough for us to use it for two or three months. ”

The crux of the matter is that it is impossible for him to open a warehouse to release grain.

Feng Shaoyu frowned and said, "Brother, do you still want to beg him?" He won't give you face. ”

Lan Junyuan said: "Not really, if there was no bandit uprising, he would not have released grain in life or death, but now that we have pacified the bandits in Jiangxi, this is a great achievement for the imperial court, Fang Jingkui has been an official for so many years." Relying on Fang Jinglong's maintenance, he himself has nothing to do with outstanding achievements, but this matter can make him raise his eyebrows once. ”

Feng Shaoyu's brows furrowed even more, and he said with anger: "This city was fought by our rebels, but it has nothing to do with him, why should the credit be his?" ”

Lan Junyuan sighed slightly in his heart, just because of the three thousand imperial court troops.

"Let's eat first, I'll give it a try."

He lowered his head to drink porridge, and Feng Shaoyu smacked his lips. I can't do it, so I can only fill my stomach first.

After eating, Lan Junyuan freshened up, and went to see Fang Jingkui full of energy.

Fang Jingkui seemed to know that he would come, and he happily asked people to bring him to the hall. The two uncles and nephews sat in the primary and secondary seats, talking as if they had never been unpleasant.

Lan Junyuan said first: "I've been busy fighting in recent days. After sorting out the affairs of the city and the army, he did not visit his uncle. I am selfish and afraid that my uncle will not know that Jiangxi City has been captured and still lives outside the city. There are remnants of bandits outside, and it's not very safe. ”

Fang Jingkui snorted coldly in his heart, the bandits have been annihilated, and now tell him that there are still remnants of sin, do you want to threaten him?

Fang Jingkui smiled: "There are not so many rules, my nephew can fight for his uncle, this is the greatest filial piety, I have nothing to ask for." He nodded comfortingly.

At this time, the maid came to serve tea.

Lan Junyuan took the tea bowl, blew it and put it down, he said, "Uncle, here is good tea." ”

Fang Jingkui also put down the tea bowl with some pride: "Where is the good tea, it's not bad if someone else chews the leftovers, come, why don't you drink it." ”

He took a sip of it himself.

Lan Junyuan saw him put down the teacup and guessed: "Miss said that fat people should not drink tea in the morning, they will die quickly." ”

Fang Jingkui is figure is fat, and he sprayed a sip of tea on the ground.

There are maids to clean up.

After cleaning up, the maid retreated, Fang Jingkui looked at the nephew who was elegant and staring at the maid working, wiped his mouth and said, "But you are not fat, why are you afraid of death?" "Obviously I was cursing him on purpose.

Lan Junyuan's smile was retracted, his eyebrows were embarrassed, and he looked pitiful while his seductive peach blossom eyes.

"I'm not fat, but I'm hungry, and I can't drink tea when I'm hungry."

Fang Jingkui never thought that this serious nephew could still have such an expression, was he coquettish with him? If he had tea in the air, it would have squirted out again.

Fang Jingkui said seriously: "At present, Jiangxi is a disaster area, there is a shortage of food and clothing everywhere, you have been in the capital with fine clothes and food, it is really embarrassing for you, otherwise I will shoot the boat, and send you and Shaoyu back to Beijing first, it just so happens that it has not rained these days, so it is good to sail." ”

It is small to take him away, and when he leaves, Jiangxi City will fall into his hands, and when the time comes, there will really be no merit left for him to fight with Shaoyu.

Lan Junyuan said with a smile: "Then thank you uncle, but Shaoyu and I can't leave at this time, we are waiting for Lord Liang, waiting to meet him, after all, are they Qincha, you see that Shaoyu and I finally did a big thing, if you have to report to the imperial court, it will be a real credit." ”

If you want to ask Fang Jingkui what he is most afraid of now, it is Liang Yuqiang, because the tiger talisman is not in his hand, if Liang Yuqiang comes, Lan Junyuan can easily grab the credit, so he still has to take back the tiger talisman.

Fang Jingkui continued to smile modestly and said, "What you said is true, when Lord Liang comes, this food will be available, then you can wait slowly." ”

can really calm down, Lan Junyuan also smiled: "Actually, you don't have to wait for Lord Liang, the grain established in Jiangxi is enough for the officers and soldiers to eat for two or three months." ”

Nonsense, how can there be so much, Fang Jingkui's eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "Really? How did I hear that it would last for a maximum of three days? Why does the eldest nephew still have to lie to his uncle? ”

Lan Junyuan laughed and said, "How can I be partial to my uncle, there is really food in Jiangxi City." A lot, uncle really don't have to worry. ”

He laughed heartily. He didn't look like he was worried about anything.

Fang Jingkui became suspicious, and he said tentatively: "Then do you know where this grain is?" ”

"In my uncle's granary. It's not far from that. ”

Did you really find out where his granary was? The bandits haven't been found.

Fang Jingkui was puzzled, and said with a smile: "Your mother is a cold person, I didn't expect you to be so good at joking, let me go." ”

Lan Junyuan suddenly became serious, his wrist rested on the table, and Fang Jingkui looked at him as if he had something hidden in his cuffs.

Lan Junyuan stared at his uncle's eyes without squinting, but his voice was very gentle: "Uncle is a smart person, we won't be sloppy, I want my uncle to open a warehouse and release grain." ”

Fang Jingkui's smiling face was also put away. He leaned back, looked at his nephew coldly, and said, "What if I don't want to?" ”

Lan Junyuan's tone remained the same: "Uncle knows that some of those grains are military rations, and some relief grains are all the food of the imperial court, and my uncle is just taking it for private use, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”

Fang Jingkui also raised his chin arrogantly, looked at his nephew and said, "This food is indeed military food, so it is only distributed to soldiers." But I don't have any soldiers in my hands, where am I going? If it is used for other purposes, what if there is a little ginseng for me, saying that I am using my power to embezzle military rations?

That's a capital offense. ”

The relief food was so confused by him to listen to it. Lan Junyuan said: "Then uncle, let's say something happy, I am going to set this grain, you make a condition." Otherwise, even if I tie up your uncle, I will put the grain in the granary. ”

Fang Jingkui saw his nephew's wrist move. He frowned and said, "Do you think you alone can be worth ten people and a hundred people?" Don't scare your uncle to death. Tell you, if I can let you in today, I won't be defenseless, and will I be as stupid as last time? So if you want to sneak up on me, save it. ”

Lan Junyuan smiled and withdrew his sleeves, sat up straight, and said, "What did uncle say?" How could a nephew sneak up on his uncle? If you say that, the world will scorn me. ”

Why don't you spit on you, a little king and a lamb, Fang Jingkui spit on him thousands of times in his heart, his face was still serious, and said: "I won't open a warehouse to release grain, I can't do anything that is not right, you still die of this heart." But you, alone in my house, I said that it would be easy to rob you. ”

Lan Junyuan knew that he wanted to take back the Tiger Talisman, but he refused to talk about the conditions, he said: "I'm alone, it's useless to rob me." Fang Jingkui's eyes narrowed.

Lan Junyuan immediately smiled and said, "Since our uncle and nephew don't trust each other so much, let's discuss it again." I asked my uncle, what does my uncle want to put food, if my uncle really doesn't want it, that's it, if there are rations in this city, it's a big deal that Shaoyu and I share more, let's take the food to the south, go to meet Lord Liang, and we don't have to starve or be afraid of waiting for Lord Liang. ”

Fang Jingkui was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "What about the people in the city and those righteous soldiers?" ”

Lan Junyuan spread his hands and raised his eyebrows: "I just told them to follow me to fight Jiangxi City, now that the city is afraid, I can't control it so much, as for those people, I have tried my best to keep me, whether they are full or not, it doesn't matter to me." ”

Is this going to be left alone?

Fang Jingkui didn't expect that this nephew was not only untrustworthy, but also cold-blooded.

He usually likes to be a bad guy, just because bad people have few scruples, and good people always think about this and that, so they will be coerced.

If it's really like what Lan Junyuan said, he doesn't care about the military and civilians, then what else is coercing?

Fang Jingkui looked at Lan Junyuan, considering the truth of his words, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I have said that I will not do anything that is not justified, if you give me the tiger talisman, I can open a warehouse and release grain." ”

Lan Junyuan knew before he came that he would make this request, so he didn't pretend to save time, he said: "When my uncle tells me the location of the granary, I will hand over the tiger talisman to my uncle, and when my uncle gets the tiger talisman, he will open the warehouse and release grain." ”

He never did the matter of handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.

Fang Jingkui said with a smile: "My eldest nephew knows his uncle's interests very well, so then I'll let you go to see the location of the granary, and if you don't hand over the tiger talisman at that time, I won't release the grain." ”

"If I give the tiger talisman to my uncle, and my uncle doesn't release food, then I will be polite."

He knew the location of the granary, so he was not afraid that he would not let it go, and if he didn't let it go, he would lead people to rob it.

Fang Jingkui thought to himself, it turned out that he didn't know the location of his granary at the beginning, so he said, his granary couldn't even be found by bandits.

"So it was decided."

The two uncles and nephews reached an agreement, and Lan Junyuan followed Fang Jingkui's subordinates to find the granary.

The granary that Fang Jingkui showed Lan Junyuan was to the west of the mansion, under an inconspicuous farmhouse.

After seeing it, Lan Junyuan thought to himself: "The grain is hidden underground, and it is not afraid of mold, no wonder others can't think of it." "It turned out that they had been staring at the location on the ground.

But after going down, it's not the same thing at all, it's very cleverly repaired underneath, not to mention the wind on all sides, it's still very dry, not dry outside.

Lan Junyuan didn't understand Qimen Dunjia, he didn't know how his uncle cultivated, and he sighed again and again in his heart that Fang Jingkui was a person, and his eyes were used to guard against people, but unfortunately he was not a good person, if he was a good person, he could benefit the people.

The granary looked like it was endless, Lan Junyuan looked at a few bags, which were dry rice, and he continued to walk forward.

The man who took him said: "The prince has already seen it, and there is no problem with the food here, so let's go back." ”

Obviously didn't want him to look at it.

Lan Junyuan looked behind him, and there were more than thirty people from the Taishou Mansion, not to mention whether they were masters or not, in such a narrow place, he couldn't take advantage of the fight.

He turned around with a smile and said, "Let's go." ”

After seeing the granary, he was about to hand over the tiger talisman to Fang Jingkui, Lan Junyuan did so, Fang Jingkui saw that the tiger talisman was on him, and he lied to him in front of him that he was alone.

He said with a smile: "What a big nephew, don't worry, if I promise to give you food this time, I will definitely not break my promise." ”

He promised to transport grain to the south of the city on the second day, and the people in the south of the city were the largest, and it was best to put grain at the door.

Lan Junyuan arranged this matter properly and went back to find Feng Shaoyu, it was already early at this time, but Feng Shaoyu was not in their temporary place, not only Feng Shaoyu was not there, but Lin Xiaojue was not there.

Lan Junyuan asked the three maids who looked at the house: "Where is your young lady?" ”

Lingnan told him: "Miss doesn't know where to go, she said to go out for a walk, there is a bustle outside." ”

What's hilarious? Lan Junyuan thought about it, said goodbye to the three of them, and hurriedly went to the school grounds.

The barracks were originally a place for officers and soldiers to compete in martial arts, but now he used it to detain the one hundred and three bandits.

When they got there, sure enough, Feng Shaoyu had already asked the one hundred and three people to be escorted out, kneeling on the flat ground of the school field, and the bandits kneeling to maintain a kowtow posture, facing the direction of the north.

There are also a lot of people around the school grounds, all of whom are hearing the news and watching the excitement.

Before Lan Junyuan approached, he heard Feng Shaoyu standing on the stage say: "These bandits, robbing homes and houses, mutilating the people, and losing their conscience, today I, Feng Shaoyu, will kill them to pay tribute to those dead soldiers and people." Everyone is optimistic, don't be a bandit in the future......"

Lan Junyuan's eyelids jumped, and he said in his heart: "This Feng Shaoyu, these captives haven't been tried yet, but I killed them without saying anything." He anxiously blended into the crowd. (To be continued......)
