Chapter 27: Food (First Recommendation, Collection)

Working people are great.

No matter from any point of view, this sentence is absolutely the eternal truth, although it is the cold winter wax moon, the sky is cold, but under the arrangement of Song Xuezhu and other officials, the city wall is still quickly reinforced. However, it was only two days of hard work, and with the efforts of more than 30,000 Ding Zhuang, the city wall that was originally bombed with thousands of holes was "repaired".

Standing outside the city wall that was burned to the ground by the Qing army, Zhu Guoqiang looked at the repaired city wall with some doubts.

"The city is repaired?"

The wall in front of him was not reinforced with bamboo baskets or wooden planks, as he had imagined, but with bricks.

"It's just that the repairs around the southern city are almost complete, and the east, west, and north walls have not been repaired,"

Song Xuezhu said a little proudly.

"Where did the bricks come from?"

"It's all bricks!"

Pointing to the nearby ruins, Song Xuezhu said.

"Your Royal Highness, originally our city outside Jinan City Square is several miles, when the Qing army killed, the house outside the city was burned down by a fire, but this is good, but we have a lot of bricks to build the city wall, although the bricks are smaller, but it is nothing more than a matter of a few more layers, that is, the city wall built in winter is not very strong, but it should not be a big deal for emergency use......"

Listening to Song Xuezhu's words, Zhu Guoqiang looked at the people who were busy on the city wall, and then said.

"Governor Song has worked hard, let the big guy work harder and repair the city wall as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty knows, please rest assured, in two days at most, I promise to repair the city wall, but it's just ......"

Lowering his voice, Song Xuezhu said worriedly.

"The hundreds of thousands of people we saved are now all in the city, so many people are eating, I am worried that there is not enough food in the house, after all, there are more than 100,000 people, even if we have seized more than 100,000 stone grain in the Dongyu camp, but there are so many more people at once, plus there are still more than 100,000 people in the city waiting to eat, the lower officials are worried that once the Dongyu besieges the city again, if there is no food in the city at that time, after all, it is more than 30......0,000 people."

More than 300,000 people!

There are more than 300,000 people, and there are clearly more than 300,000 mouths waiting to eat!

"Can you buy food?"

Because of the five million taels of silver seized, Zhu Guoqiang was not worried about the lack of silver.

"Back to the prince, Jinan City has been besieged by the Dongyu for two months, and there are no people in the surrounding radius for at least 100 miles, the people are either killed and plundered, the village is burned, and the grain has long been robbed by the Dongyu, even if you want to buy it, you can't find anyone to buy it, and no one sells it."

Song Xuezhu's words made Zhu Guoqiang's brows tighten, and he looked at the city wall over there for a while before he spoke.

"Well, I'll figure out a way to get food, you guys hurry up and repair the city wall quickly, after all, Du Du is rushing to this side!"

Originally, Zhu Guoqiang thought that it would be Dolgon who killed him, but who knew that it was Du Du, in the past two days, more than a dozen righteous people have come to deliver letters, saying that the Qing army is rushing from Liaocheng to this side, fortunately, the snow on the road has slowed down the speed of their march, otherwise, I am afraid that this will have already been in the city.

"Yes, the lower officials know that the lower officials will stay on the city wall for the next two days and personally supervise them."

In fact, there is no need for Song Xuezhu's supervision at all, after all, all the young men who defend the city know that whether the city wall can be repaired or not is related to their own lives, and it is natural to redouble their efforts to do their work, and even when the sky is dark, they will take the initiative to fight at night, and repair the damaged city wall day and night.

"I hope I can keep it......"

Can it be kept?

When he woke up, he returned to his bedroom, lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, Zhu Guoqiang's mind was all about Jinan.

"What now?"

Go get props?

However, it will take half a month for those "props", after all, in fact, Zhu Guoqiang has just left here.

"Hey, when Du Du is repulsed, I have to relax and relax......"

After rubbing his face twice, Zhu Guoqiang sat up directly from the bed.

Unlike in the past, now he no longer needs to worry about money, not to mention anything else, it is the Ming-style mahogany furniture in the living room, which alone can make him eat for a lifetime. What's more, the calligraphy and paintings of Tang Bohu and others brought from there, the value of those calligraphy and paintings is naturally self-evident. It's just that there is something wrong with the shot.

Now it is necessary to stabilize his position on the side of Daming, at least to hold Jinan first, in case Jinan City is broken, and then he will lose his head.

Sitting on the bed for a while, Zhu Guoqiang walked to the window and opened the window, and a gust of wind blew in directly.

"You'll have to wait here for fifteen days before that batch of props can be made."

Looking at the sky outside the window, Zhu Guoqiang muttered to himself.

Time on both sides is relatively static, and every time you travel from this world to another, the time is the last time you crossed, at most more than a second has passed.

It's like you've been there for four days, but only a second or two has actually passed, and it may even be still.

Because one side is the cold winter wax moon, and the other side is the relationship between the scorching summer and the midsummer, each crossing needs to first adapt to the change in temperature. Of course, the air here is also extraordinarily turbid, even with a little pungent smell, which makes him less and less fond of going out.

But you can't go out if you don't go out.

"Food ......"

Thinking of Song Xuezhu's worries, Zhu Guoqiang had to pick up his mobile phone again and look for a suitable supplier through the online platform.

Because he used to work in a trading company, Zhu Guoqiang is also familiar with finding the source of goods, but it only takes a few minutes to find the goods he needs.

"Raw crushed rice, this is cheap, only a little more than a catty......"

Raw crushed rice is just as much a grain as it gets. Because modern people live a delicate life and have requirements for the appearance of rice grains, raw and crushed rice is used to make wine, but it is certainly no problem to eat it as a meal in another world.

Because of the large amount needed, Zhu Guoqiang called the other party directly, and after simply expressing his intentions, he just mentioned the amount he wanted, and he could feel the other party's surprise across the phone.

"Twenty thousand bags? Are you sure you want so many? Do you use it for your own use or not? ”

Listening to the sound of breathing on the other end of the phone, Zhu Guoqiang, who was vigilant, took the initiative to explain.

"Yes, that's right, it's 20,000 bags, I opened a small company by myself, and I contacted a business, can the price be more favorable?"

When he hung up the phone, although the food needed was finalized, Zhu Guoqiang still felt some risks.

"It looks like we're going to start a company, so it should be safer. After all, it's better to have a company as a cover than an individual to cover a large transaction......"
