Chapter 170: Jin Yang

Since ancient times, people have lived on food.

Food is not only the most basic energy for the people and the source of survival, but also the foundation of a country's economic development!

Since ancient times, grain has had the military strategic role of "grain and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are moved", and the self-confidence of "not panicking when there is food at home".

The solution of food and clothing for the common people is the basis for revitalizing economic development and the driving force for a country's steady progress. Food is not only the basic unit of energy for individuals, but also the basis for providing renewable energy and applying science and technology! From this point of view, grain plays a very important role in maintaining social stability, military strategy, and the development of science, technology, and economy.

Dressed in the standard Mandarin duck suit of the Ming Army, he walked quickly in armor to the lazy brocade guard.

This Jinyi guard's name is Shen Wang, and he is only in his 20s, but because he is usually more clever, he is deeply respected by Xu Xianchun.

Shen Wang, who was lazy, only heard a sound in his ears, and then felt a strong wind blowing in his face, and suddenly a black and strong man Zheng Baoquan saluted him.

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Shen Wang hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"I don't know if Jin Qianhu needs his brother's help with anything, Shen Wang will definitely do it."

"It turned out to be Brother Shen, in Xia Jinyang, who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he sees strange things."

Not to mention that the ancients knew how to be polite, these two strangers who have never met before, if it weren't for this war, it is very likely that people who would never have interacted with each other in their lives actually apologized after saying a word.

"Why is Brother Shen transporting more than ten less trucks of grain?"

Jin Yang pointed to the grain truck unloading grain in the distance with a puzzled face.

"Well, the grain was purchased from the various merchants, and the rest of the carts were used to transport the silver."

Shen Wang suddenly had some stammering, and his eyes rolled for a while, and then he said it very unnaturally.

Jinyang, as a thousand households guarding grain, since he can be valued by Sun Chengzong, he naturally has his own skills, in addition to the heroic fighting center in the past, he is also very alert.

Seeing that Shen Wang's acting skills were obviously not too high, he naturally felt even more puzzled in his heart. He reached into the armor with both hands and touched it, and then took out a very fine hosta.

Judging from the style of the hosta, it is obviously the style of a sweater. And the hosta was obviously a woman's product, and it was actually carried in Jin Yang's arms, which made Shen Wang show a very obscene expression.

"I didn't expect the Jinyang brothers to be a family lover, and they actually carried their wife's supplies with them."

Jin Yang is a person who looks five big and three thick, and has a broad face, but he is a very thin-skinned person who can't stand the praise of others. Hearing Shen Wang's obviously ambiguous voice, his face suddenly turned red, just like the girl next door.

"Brother Shen, don't get me wrong, this is what I found from a Jiannu Dazi, this is my trophy."

Jin Yang hurriedly waved his hand to explain the origin of his hosta.

Shen Wang thought about it, it was indeed true, the hosta was a valuable item, who had nothing to bring with him, and when he was on the battlefield, if he lost it, it would be a lot of money.

"Brother Shen didn't have any gifts when we met for the first time, so I'll give you this thing, you and I are convenient for Qin Jin."

In order to be able to hear the news about food from Shen Wang's mouth, Jin Yang also made a lot of money.

In fact, it stands to reason that it is a big crime to investigate the matter of military rations and grass, and if it is really investigated, it will inevitably be a death. But at this time, the two just looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't seem to remember.

Shen Wang looked at the beautifully made hosta, and estimated slightly in his heart that it would cost at least a hundred taels of silver. It seems that it should be worn by a young lady from a rich family, but it fell into the hands of Jiannu. Rubbing his hands, he looked like he wanted it very much, but didn't dare to take it.

The look of wanting to give up is like the embarrassment of a newlywed couple when they enter the cave room.

Jin Yang looked at Shen Wang's appearance, and directly handed the hosta in his hand to Shen Lang, which could be regarded as sending the Buddha to the west.

As the saying goes, taking people with short hands and eating people with short mouths. If you take something from someone else's house, you naturally have to do things for someone else's house.

Shen looked around and found that no one noticed the situation here, so he took Jin Yang's hand and quietly came to a hidden spot.

Before opening his mouth to get down to business, he was very cautious and asked Jin Yang to keep it secret many times, and under Jin Yang's assurance, Shen Wang slowly spoke.

"This batch of grain is likely to be the last batch, and if Jiannu still has to besiege the city, it is very likely that the army will run out of food."

Shen Wang's opening directly frightened Jin Yang stunned, the army is out, and the most important thing is food. Although three or four trips of food were sent at once, it was only tens of thousands of catties, and even the rations of the entire army for a day were not enough. As the caretaker here, Jin Yang naturally knew how much stock was left, and it was only a few days' rations.

"Brother Shen, I heard that the capital is a gathering place for rich businessmen from all over the world, and it is not even possible to collect rations for hundreds of thousands of troops."

Jin Yang's voice carried a hint of panic and deep doubt.

In Jinyang's memory, the capital was a place where high-ranking officials and wealthy people gathered, and the wealth of the world was innumerable, how could it not even gather food for hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Brother Jin doesn't know, I heard our Xu Jian envoy say before that His Majesty will take out millions of taels of silver to buy grain, even higher than the pre-war market price of one percent.

Alas, it's just that the group of merchants is really crazy, in order to make money, the price has long been unknown how much to increase, and now His Majesty only takes out a 10% price to buy, do you think that group of merchants will be willing?"

Shen Wang sighed before he spoke, shook his head, and was obviously very disappointed.

"What? Our brothers are desperately fighting with Jiannu Dazi outside the city, not for anything, isn't it just to protect the capital, they actually stabbed us in the back, and didn't even provide us with a single ration."

The personalities of the people on the battlefield were naturally very irritable, and when they heard Shen Wang's words, they immediately became angry. However, he may know how much impact he will have if the news spreads, so he can only lower his voice, but the roar is even more terrifying.

"It's a pity that I'm just a thousand households, and in the eyes of that group of people, I'm just a group of Qiu Ba, otherwise, if Lao Tzu has that day, he will definitely kill this ** businessman."

After the anger was over, Jin Yang sighed, and the people who listened to it were so depressed that they were sad.

"Brothers and sisters are connected with the same fate, we Jinyiwei don't look at showing off in front of ordinary people, in the eyes of that group of people, they are a group of lackeys, an eagle dog who bites wherever the owner points at him."

Tragic experiences always arouse the pity of others, and even the most ruthless people will have a ripple in their hearts. For a while, the two were like half of the brothers, and they felt sorry for each other.

"Brother Jin, I'm one step ahead, and the grain truck over there seems to have been unloaded."

Shen Wang stretched out his head to look at the situation over there, and found that the food had been transported, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and luggage.

"Brother Shen, there will be a period later."

"Brother Jin, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, take care".
