Pinghu wanted to confirm the news, naturally, it was simple.

I went out for a walk, and I came back in less than half an hour.

As an old actor, ah no, he is an old scout, and his acting skills are naturally in place.

He had confirmed the news just now, in fact, he was supposed to inform him, but he saw that Pinghu was taking a class with a group of businessmen.

So he pretended to chat with his son and leaked the news to his son, asking him to tell Pinghu.

"How?" Seeing Pinghu coming back, a group of people anxiously surrounded him.

This is a big deal, and if they don't know that the batch of goods in their hands will be smashed in their own hands.

It doesn't matter if you're a traveling merchant who returns to the country, anyway, five days is enough to clear the customs, and when the time comes, you can go back and wait for the switch to come out again, it's nothing more than a matter of resting for a few months.

The most headache is those who pull the goods out of the customs, and now they have not gone out, and it will take half a day to clear the customs.

It takes time to get there and get there, and it takes time to process the goods and bring them back again.

You have to queue up to clear customs, and if you are lucky, you can come back on the same day at the gate, and it is normal to wait for a day or two if you are unlucky.

So five days is simply not enough.

Looking at the expectant crowd, Pinghu nodded heavily: "The news is true!" ”

"What?"

"This sucks......"

"What the hell is going on? How does it feel so sudden? ”

"It is said that the five days of time were forcibly moved out by His Majesty, just to prevent strangers from being trapped on the opposite side of the pass and unable to pass, and also said that it is recommended that the caravan wait at the pass, or take advantage of the switch tomorrow to send someone to the opposite side to take a look, and the two caravans will barter directly on the spot to avoid not being able to go back after coming."

"The county will call up conscription early tomorrow morning to prepare, and in five days, all the grain from the granary of Shaanxi County will be transported to Guanzhong, and grain from other places will also be sent here......

Pinghu said with a click.

"So much trouble? To use so much food? The crowd couldn't help but wonder.

40,000 forbidden troops, even if they bring the next recruits, can they use up so much food?

Moreover, if it is only one or two hundred thousand people, the granary in Guanzhong is enough, right?

Besides, once the war broke out, the imperial court could cancel the tax exemption policy first, levy it directly, and wait until the war was over to make up for it.

Transporting grain directly from the Central Plains to the border thousands of miles away, how much will this consume?

The Han law stipulates that the conscription is only 20 days, and those who exceed 20 days must be paid or given food.

And how much does this cost?

There's no need for that......

"The people in the county said that this year, the old Han Kingdom will collect taxes, plus the official fields, the granary will inevitably be full, so there is no need to leave too much grain, just need to be able to support the autumn harvest. If the grain and grass sent to the front line are eaten, the official warehouses of the counties will be moved first, and if the official warehouses can't hold on, they are considering the matter of collecting them in advance. Speaking of this, Pinghu frowned again.

This time, he really couldn't see it clearly.

Although he is a scout at the grassroots level, it is because the position he is in now is special.

Therefore, he is not the most basic scout, and he has a close relationship with the hundred generals, and he can learn more information.

Didn't you hear anything before?

Now these things give him the feeling that the wind is the rain, and it will come as soon as it is said, and it will start without any warning at all.

Inside and out, it makes people feel a little abrupt.

Of course, it is normal for them, the grassroots, not to know what happened in the court, is there something else?

It should be......

Pinghu once again confirmed this guess, and thought of another thing that Bai Jiang had just told him.

"Next, the counties will transfer the city defense army under the age of thirty-five into the Zhenxi Army to guard the frontier, so this Hanguguan not only has to transport grain, but also march, you can still change it, you really can't change it, don't clear the customs, hurry up and find a way not to lose money to deal with the goods first!"

"What? Even the city defense army is going to be transferred? ”

The combat effectiveness of the city defense army is the lowest existence in the Han army.

But this does not mean that the city defense army is not combative.

The city defense army has also been reforming in recent years, and the most important thing is the replacement of soldiers.

The reform of the Han army released a large number of sergeants home, and some who did not meet the new conditions naturally lost the opportunity to continue to serve as soldiers.

In addition, the number of soldiers recruited by the imperial court every year was controlled, resulting in many people who wanted to be soldiers not being able to squeeze in.

So some of them farmed at home, and some of them joined the city defense army.

The current city defense army, more than eighty percent of which are composed of old Han soldiers, are also under the age of forty, not to mention the year of fighting, but general things can still be suppressed.

"Looks like something really happened this time!" You Shang nodded secretly.

If everything is good, can the court use so much strength?

First, the whole system of forbidden troops was sent to fight it, and then the city defense army was dispatched to supplement the past, and then the new soldiers also followed.

In this way, 300,000 people would have to be stationed in the west.

"You go back and take care of the convoy first, I'll clean up and donate money early tomorrow morning!" Pinghu looked at his son.

Xuan immediately took out the cash box, directly found an open space, and poured it all over the ground with a bang.

Then they began to count one by one, in a string.

There is no culture, and there are too many numbers to count, so I count ten or ten, put ten piles first, and then wear ten piles into a string, which is a hundred dollars.

is full of money, and the shock is quite great.

As for Pinghu, he is not worried about whether the money will be robbed in the store?

There is no need to worry about that, and in his opinion, it is safer to keep it in the store than at home.

As the business atmosphere of this generation has gradually formed, there are more merchants coming and going.

The troops guarding the pass sent a force of 500 men to garrison the area, patrolling day and night to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

At the same time, it is also to maintain the order outside the customs, so as not to cause chaos and affect the efficiency of customs clearance.

It can be regarded as setting up a quarantine station in advance.

All goods must be inspected before entering here, and then you can clear customs directly with the certificate of opening, which greatly improves the efficiency of customs clearance.

Soldiers patrol to prevent anyone from mixing contraband into the goods after inspection.

"You've donated so much?" Looking at so much money, the traveling merchant was also confused.

That's probably a thousand dollars, right?

According to 300 yuan a month, this is almost his income for three or four months.

"Donate, what's the use of asking for this money now? If there is a problem in the front, no amount of money can be exchanged for it, our family is miserable enough, I don't want to wait for my grandson to be born, it will be their mother and daughter! Pinghu said resolutely.

Pinghu's mood obviously also affected You Shang and others.

The concept of the country and the world is being impacted step by step.

The originally unbreakable relationship network, under Pinghu's appearance, actually made people faintly feel that it didn't seem to be so solid.

How much money can you make?

Although Pinghu doesn't make much money compared to them, it is not a lot compared to others, and he is the richest group of people in the township, right?

But what about Pinghu's home?

It's long gone.

Now he's donating his own money, though I don't know if it will help.

But they did their best to ensure that the troops on the border were fighting, so that they were more motivated to keep the enemy out of the territory.

In this way, the war will not burn their hometowns, and their relatives will not be displaced by the war.

The money they have lost now can be regained.

The concept of family and country is that only when my family is happy, has a good life, and has no worries, I will think about things outside my home.

"Donate! My goods have also been donated ......" The traveling merchant made a difficult but decisive decision.

Then he stretched out his hand and called his own people over, and immediately instructed: "Go and pull the convoy back, rest here today, tomorrow the old man will personally go to Shaanxi County to donate, and then we will carry a few truckloads of grain to clear the customs, which can be regarded as doing some modest efforts!" ”

"The old man also donated ......"

"The old man wants to donate, but the old man's goods are porcelain, where to donate? I don't need this thing at the front line......"

The decision of the traveling merchants aroused the enthusiasm of a group of merchants, but some people made difficulties in this and fell into a quarrel.

", you bad old man just don't want to donate ......"

"Who said the old man didn't want to donate? There is a kind of you buy this batch of goods from the old man, and the old man will donate as much money as he collects, do you dare? ”

"Hehe, why did you let me buy it? Aren't schools being built in the counties? You always have to eat afterwards, right? Why don't you just donate it to them? ”

"I can't save money by donating to the court of the school......"

"You just can't bear your little bit of goods, Your Majesty would rather send the forbidden army to the border to guard the border than levy more military service, you just have to do it!"

"Who said that? The old man donates, the old man not only donates, but the old man even ...... Join...... Even the car was donated, do you dare? ”

"The old man doesn't need to donate a car, the old man even brings a car to help the court transport grain for free......"

With the blessing of the bar essence attribute, the two choked each other all the way, and it seemed that for the sake of a little face, nothing else mattered.

Fortunately, the surrounding people hurriedly dissuaded them, and if they let these two people go down to each other, they might not be able to donate the entire family.

Although it is only an impulsive statement, there is no such statement in these years.

Walking in business, reputation is the first.

Regardless of whether it is an impulsive word or not, if you don't fulfill what you say, there will be fewer and fewer people willing to deal with it in the future.

Therefore, this time, these two are afraid that they will really have to bleed profusely.
