Chapter 31 Grain Requisition

There are 3,000 households in the food town, not somewhere else, but in Qingyang County, there is no cheap good fruit to eat in the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Erlang, no, it should be called Yang Jian now, holding a sealed book, stunned, there is no money, no soldiers and no food at the moment, and the army of Luofu is about to attack, what is the use of this fiefdom?

"After all, it's the king of a country, I'll give you a step down first, and then I'll reward you with a piece of chicken ribs, it's tasteless to eat, it's a pity to abandon it, Yang Jian, what are your plans now?"

In Pingyang County, the young man and Li Gongzi reunited, and the latter smiled, "This altar really didn't misunderstand you, first killed the Nanshan swordsman, and now he has also been sealed." ”

"Where, where, it's just to get the job done."

For this Li Gongzi, Yang Jian is still a little grateful, he can now wear many hats, and it is also an opportunity given by Li Gongzi, otherwise just cultivating will be useless, and it will inevitably be buried.

Li Gongzi smiled again: "You are in big trouble right now." ”

"What's the trouble?"

Yang Jian asked puzzled.

"Qingyang County is now your fiefdom, but the king wants Pingyang County to collect 3,000 quintals of grain and grass within a month, and now only 2,200 quintals are gathered, and there are still five days to go, I'm afraid that Pingyang County will hand over this task to you, and besides, you are the incense lord of Nanshan County, but the Pingyang County branch altar asked the people in the sect to rush to buy grain and grass, and Pingyang County will not requisition it, and the two sides are coerced, isn't it a big trouble?"

Li Gongzi picked up the tea and said while tasting it, he wanted to see what means this kid would use, "If you are not a member of the sect, it's just that the canons of the Moon Worship Sect are very strict, and this son has joined the sect, so he can only do things according to the canons." ”

This is really a trouble, Pingyang County collects grain and grass, which is nothing more than for military use, and the Lunatic Cult rushes to buy grain and grass, which involves a power struggle.

There is a lot of tension on the front line, and what do you and I have to do with it.

And Yang Jian's thoughts at this time were different, he also had to recruit troops and buy horses when he went to Qingyang County, and he also needed money and grain, and he didn't have the idea of handing over grain and grass, no matter which side, it wouldn't work.

"I naturally have thunder means!"

Yang Jian stood up and arched his hand again, "Thank you for the reminder!" ”

As Li Gongzi said, as soon as Yang Jian arrived in Qingyang County, the government decree of Pingyang County was issued, requiring him to gather 800 loads of grain and grass within five days.

"It's really damned, there is a war on the front line, and the men in Qingyang County are six or seven out of ten, and the big guys can only barely make ends meet, and there is no surplus at all, where can I collect grain and grass?"

He held the book and gritted his teeth, and when he actually arrived at the fiefdom, he found that the situation was much more severe than he imagined.

This is not bad, the wind and rain have been smooth for ten consecutive years, and there have been no natural or man-made disasters, otherwise let alone requisition of grain, but disaster relief would have been carried out first.

In fact, this is all secondary, the army of the Luofu Kingdom is about to assemble, and it is possible to fight at any time to collect grain and grass, which is more like a fantasy.

"General, I have a solution."

Qingyang County is not used, and Yang Jian soon found Gongsun Jun, this person grew up in Qingyang County, knows a lot of things, and is much stronger than him, an outsider.

"Say!"

Yang Jian was given the title of Qing, and it was a little inappropriate to call Gongzi a child, while Gongsun Jun called him a general.

"General, there are more than 5,000 households in Qingyang County, in addition to the 3,000 households of the general, there are 2,000 households. The general might as well buy chaff and let them exchange it with the civilians for food, so that the task can be completed. ”

Gongsun Jun respectfully suggested, "If the soldiers in front of you are defeated because they have nothing to eat, I am afraid that these civilians will not even have to eat, so why will they care about some stored food?" ”

Yang Jian smiled: "You have a lot of ideas. ”

"Don't dare, back to the general, this is not an idea, but a basic way to deal with things, now is a troubled time, it is appropriate to use heavy codes."

Gongsun Jun persuaded him earnestly, he never thought that a Qing could actually ask him for advice, and he had to grasp it well.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, this is the knife of the Nanshan swordsman, it should be able to exchange for eight hundred quintals of chaff!"

Yang Jian killed the Nanshan swordsman, and the Nanshan swordsman's knife naturally became his trophy, presumably the saber of a martial arts alliance leader should be worth a lot of money, and he threw the knife to Gongsun Jun.

"Good knife, there is no problem with changing 1,200 quintals, and it is just right, according to the small one, 800 quintals is not enough, you get 1,200 quintals, and the 400 quintals of grain in exchange for 200 quintals will belong to you, the general, and the remaining 100 quintals will belong to two thousand households."

Although Gongsun Jun didn't know much, he also recognized that this knife was worth a lot of money, and I was afraid that he would be rich in exchange for 1,200 quintals of chaff, and he could make a small amount of money again.

Yang Jian looked puzzled, and asked again, "Why is this?" ”

"General, think about it, how can there be such a thing as a light for people to contribute without pay? And the general, you also have to rely on the extra food to take care of the above and below, all kinds of etiquette, and in the future, the general you have an heir, the son has to marry a daughter-in-law, and the daughter has to accompany the dowry, which will cost money, general. ”

Gongsun Jun said from the bottom of his heart, and he was about to be moved for a while.

Yang Jian suddenly realized, nodded, and said: "Yes, human society, it is inevitable, you get things done as soon as possible, this gentleman has his own reward, go quickly." ”

"Whoa!"

When Gongsun Jun left for a long time, Yang Jian's eyes were cold, and the teacup in his hand was crushed all of a sudden.

Three days later.

Gongsun Jun did a good job, he sold the knife of the Nanshan swordsman to one of the thousand households, and bought chaff from another thousand households with the money he obtained, as for the exchange of grain, he could not call the shots.

And the news of a new lord coming to Qingyang County also spread quickly.

It also happened to be this day, and the two thousand households summed it up, set up a banquet, and invited Yang Jian to the banquet.

The two thousand households usually live in Pingyang County, and they all hurried back to Qingyang County at this time, the lord and the official are different, the official is a dispatch agency, and the lord, in addition to paying a part of the tax service, can be in charge of the affairs in the fief, that is, the small princes.

There will inevitably be friction between one county and three lords, Yang Jian has three thousand households, which can be described as a dominant family, and he can even recruit troops and horses to attack the fiefdoms of the other two lords, so as to expand his power.

But the two thousand households are not easy to mess with, they have taken root in Qingyang County for many years, each has hundreds of private soldiers, and all kinds of relationships are intertwined, and even in the Lunatic Worship Sect and Pingyang County, there are relationships, and they hold a banquet to see Yang Jian's intentions, maybe they have to take advantage of it.

The banquet was quite sumptuous, Yang Jian had only eaten twice since he arrived in the Jin Kingdom, once at the martial arts conference, and the second time was now.

After five flavors of food and three rounds of wine, Yang Jian raised his glass and said, "Yang Jian first thanked the two of them for their hospitality. ”

"Whereever, whoever comes is a guest!"

One of them has something to say outside the language.

"Yes, yes, how can there be a reason why the host does not receive guests when they come?"

Another thousand households hurriedly chimed in.

"Oh? So I'm a guest? ”

Yang Jian's face smiled slightly, and said, "Then I, a guest, would like to ask the two masters for a favor." ”

"What a favor!"

A thousand households' faces changed, and their pupils shrank.

"It's nothing, it's just that Pingyang County has an order to ask me to collect 800 loads of grain and grass."

Yang Jian heard the sound of people and horses shuttling outside the house, but he didn't care at all, and still said calmly, "I don't need food for the two of you, it's just that I have 1,200 loads of chaff, and I just want to bother the two of you to find help from the civilians." ”
