Things went even more smoothly than Gan Qi imagined, and within three or four hours of entering Detanzhou City, more than 100 cattle were sold, or 2,000 cattle were sold.

Facts have proven that the power of the masses of the people is unlimited. Fully mobilizing the masses of the people is the main reason why things are going smoothly in Ganqi today.

Dozens of ironclad men, under the leadership of Di Yong, Zhou Dong, and Ganba, were buying grain all over the city.

One by one, the peasants with the contract in their hands drove home with a smile on their faces, and only a few days later, Di Qing's army passed through Tanzhou again, and then went to bring the four and five heads of cattle home.

Gan Qi was exhausted and collapsed, and took the water bladder and poured it into his mouth.

Zhao Zonghan on the side was also tired, but his mouth was worried: "Dao Jian, where are we going to conjure up two thousand cows?" ”

Ganchi shook his head and said, "I can't conjure up so many cows. ”

Zhao Zonghan was anxious when he heard this: "Dao Jian, how should this be good?" Isn't this just that we are cheating here under the banner of General Di? If these farmers make a fuss at that time, General Di will ......"

Gan Qi nodded: "That's why I said in front of my head, let's rush back to Bianliang immediately." ”

"What can we do if we go to Bianliang at this time? I can't turn up so many cows when I go to Bianliang. General Di will arrive in Detan Prefecture in seven or eight days at most, and when the time comes...... "Zhao Zonghan is already sweating profusely, where does he have the courage of Gan Qi, and he is not as calm as Gan Qi at this time.

"Let's go back to Bianliang, take the waterway, Tanzhou is not far from the Dajiang waterway, rent a fast boat, enter the canal from the Dajiang River, and go straight back to Bianliang." Gan Qi said again. In fact, Gan Qi also thought about returning to Beijing by water, but there are not so many ships that can carry 8,000 men and horses at the general wharf ferry? There wasn't that much money to afford the boat.

In the entire Great Song Dynasty, there are only two wharves with this capacity on the waterway, one in Hangzhou and one in Bianliang, and the main waterway capacity of the Great Song Dynasty is on the river of the Grand Canal. In fact, it is also the route that transports the east and west produced in Jiangnan to Bianliang City, Tokyo. On the contrary, the waterway of the Great River, that is, the waterway of the Yangtze River, has a far less capacity than the canal.

Zhao Zonghan was so anxious that he almost jumped to his feet, and said: "Dao Jian, Dao Jian, we have to go and get the cow, and the cow is the right thing." ”

Gan Qi suddenly patted Zhao Zonghan and said with a smile: "Xianfu, you don't have to be in such a hurry, since I dare to do this, I have thought of the way back." Return to Beijing by water, at most ten days. This time I went back to Beijing to withdraw money, and there was nothing that money could not solve. When you have to get the money, refund it one by one, pay some more, and the matter will settle down. ”

When Zhao Zonghan heard this, he was worried a lot, but he still asked, "Dao Jian, why does it take more than 20 days to come and go back this time, General Di will arrive in Tanzhou in seven or eight days, how should General Di deal with it then?" ”

"General Di's coping method, I will explain it to him. As long as the army is not chaotic, before General Di returns to Beijing, the matter of Tanzhou will not happen, and everything will be fine. Ganchi thought it through.

Zhao Zonghan breathed a sigh of relief at this time and said, "Dao Jian, you always have a way, and I also believe that you will be able to handle things properly." Let's go now, hurry up, and hurry back to Beijing to get the money. ”

Gan Qi didn't say much, drank a few more sips of water, picked up a big pu fan, led the horse, and walked out of the city.

Di Yong and Gan Ba transported truckloads of grain outside the city to Gan Qi.

Gan Qi didn't count them one by one, took a pen and wrote a letter, and then explained to Di Yong: "Quickly transport the grain back, you personally hand over this letter to Uncle Di to open it personally, and don't let outsiders see it." ”

Di Yong took Gan Qi's handwritten letter and gave a big gift: "Big brother, big brother, in this life, you are my Di Yong's big brother." I, Di Yong, am willing to lead the horse for the eldest brother, and take the eldest brother as the horse. ”

At this moment, Di Yong's heart was moved and grateful, overflowing with words. Gan Qi is so busy with Di Qing's affairs, this kindness, Di Yong has personally experienced, and it is even more in Di Yong's heart. That's why Di Yong said such words.

Gan Qi helped Di Yong up, and didn't say much, but just instructed: "There must be no delay on the road." I still have important things to deal with, so I'll go back to Beijing by water. ”

Di Yong didn't ask much when he heard this, but his eyes were red, his tears didn't flick, and he said, "Big brother, be careful all the way." ”

Ganchi nodded and urged, "You guys go quickly, even if the horse is tired to death on the way, you can't delay." ”

"Uh-huh!" Di Yong held back tears.

Gan Qi turned over and got on the horse, took Zhao Zonghan, Zhou Tong, and Gan Ba and galloped away, it was still the middle of the afternoon, and everything was racing against time.

Di Yong bowed to Gan Qi's back, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and shouted: "Go, tie up all the food, go quickly!" ”

Dozens of men and dozens of grain trucks headed south.

Perhaps thanks to the commercial prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, if it were not for such a relaxed society, grain would not have been circulated in large quantities in the form of commodities in the hands of merchants.

Di Yong took dozens of truckloads of grain and rushed south in the starry night.

After more than 100 miles of Lechang's army, Di Qingshuo couldn't sleep at night, with gray hair, standing at the door of the big tent and looking at the north.

On the waterway of the great river in the distance, a small ship with its sails puffed up, went straight downstream.

At the stern of the boat, Gan Qi stood against the wind, also looking south, and said a sentence in his mouth: "What kind of country is this country?" ”

Zhao Zonghan stood aside, listening to Gan Qi's words, he felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and he felt a little ashamed in his heart, and he didn't know how to explain this shame, so he was happy to explain it as this country, which was originally the country of his Zhao family.

But the courtiers of the Zhao family, who made such a meritorious feat, were almost forced to a dead end.

For some reason, Gan Qi suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Zonghan and asked, "Xianfu, have you ever thought about something?" ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zonghan asked.

"The Son of Heaven." At this moment, in front of Zhao Zonghan, Gan Qi did not hide at all.

Zhao Zonghan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly replied: "Dao Jian, you must not talk nonsense like this, this kind of thing must not be joked." ”

Gan Qi squeezed out a little smile and nodded: "Well, this kind of thing is not a joke. ”

Zhao Zonghan replied again at this time: "I have never thought about this matter, I have never thought about it at all. Dao Jian must not talk nonsense about this matter in the future. ”

Gan Qi nodded and looked at Zhao Zonghan, at this moment, he seemed to want to see a trace of desire in Zhao Zonghan's eyes.

However, in Zhao Zonghan's eyes, there was really no desire, not at all.

Yes, where would a person like Zhao Zonghan give birth to those superfluous ambitions and desires?

Gan Qi shook his head, only turned his head and shouted, "Boatman, faster." ”

The boatman in front of him also replied with a shout: "Objective, all the sails are full, and the wind is strong this season, and the fastest speed." ”
