"Fifteen thousand loads of grain is almost enough for 20,000 people to eat for a month." Yang Congyi said suddenly

"In this way, you can negotiate with the Wuzhou Prefecture Government, as long as they can send these 15,000 quintals of grain to Suxi, select the general camp to offset 17,000 quintals of accounts for them, and if they can transport 30,000 quintals of grain, they will offset 35,000 quintals of accounts. You go to Jinhua as soon as possible and discuss this matter with Lao Zhizhou, I think Lao Zhizhou will definitely be able to promote this matter. ”

Lu You was a little stunned when he heard this, and only after a moment did he say, "My lord, can this work?" If we send 30,000 quintals and we deduct 35,000 quintals for them, isn't that a loss of 5,000 quintals? That's not a small amount. ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Sometimes the benefits that should be given up have to be given out, if the general camp has enough time, we can make a few more trips and personally move the grain back, but at the moment we don't have time, these benefits are given to them, and it can be regarded as selling their personal favors, and if there is something to help them in the future, I think they are embarrassed to shirk it again." ”

"Isn't this price too big, after all, it's 5,000 quintals of grain, worth 10,000 yuan, so it's a pity to give them a share like this." Lu You was distressed, this was a lot of money.

Yang Congyi said: "It's so decided, it's important to transport the grain back first, if 20,000 people run out of food and cause an incident, it won't be something that can be calmed down by tens of thousands of dollars." Besides, this election will give a lot of money from the imperial court, so don't worry about not spending enough. ”

"Yes, my lord, I will go to Jinhua early tomorrow morning." Lu You should be, food is the first thing, and it is indeed inappropriate to consider interests at this time.

"Shen joined the army, selected the general battalion to supervise the construction, you have made a lot of contributions, these days have been hard." Yang Congyi said with a smile.

"Where the duty lies, I don't dare to take credit." Shen Jin hurriedly excused himself.

"You don't have to be modest, it's really not easy to build such a large-scale camp in just two months, especially to build such a beautiful handsome camp. The camp is built, and then there are important things to hand over to you, this time there are more than 40 forbidden troops from all walks of life who come to participate in the selection of generals, and there will be chaos when there are many people, from tomorrow, the forbidden troops who come to the Suxi election camp will be arranged and controlled by you, this is the rules of entering the camp, a total of ten, to ensure that each forbidden army from top to bottom must know. After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he handed over a scroll of paper full of words.

"Yes." Shen Jin took the paper roll, opened it and looked at it carefully, and found that it was easy to understand, very simple, and every rule was not excessive.

"In addition to this, you are also responsible for checking the weapons they carry, and in the camp, the guns are not exposed, and the knives are not exposed. If the army is not in the camp, you will help complete the supply of food and grass for the forbidden army. In addition, by the way, you can collect the opinions or suggestions of various armies on the selection of generals and battalions, and if they can be rectified, we will adjust them in a timely manner. ”

"Yes, sir." Shen Jin respectfully agreed. In fact, he wanted to enter the mountain with the touchstone troops, but his current physical fitness was really reluctant to enter the mountain, not to mention that there were still many things in the camp that he had to supervise personally, and he couldn't leave at all.

"How much has it cost these months?" Yang Congyi turned his head and asked.

Qingchen, who was standing on the side, was slightly stunned, and then immediately replied: "It has cost more than 274,000 yuan." ”

Yang Congyi nodded, it seems that the counting and bookkeeping methods taught to her before have been mastered.

The court allocated a total of 1.5 million guan, of which only 1 million guan is cash, in addition to the 5,000 guan subsidy reserved for the army, a total of 220,000 guan, but also left 100,000 guan in case of emergency, the front division of the palace should also withhold 200,000 guan, and only 480,000 guan can be completely controlled by Yang Congyi, although the money is not much, fortunately, there are not many officials in the general selection camp, as long as the money is used in practice, the matter of selecting generals can be done.

"It cost a lot of money to build the camp, and there are nearly 20,000 people in all walks of life, and there are a lot of places to spend money. Let's take 10,000 yuan to buy medicinal materials first, the weather will be cold in the future, and there will be many people, and all kinds of diseases will come, so you have to make some preparations in advance, or invite a few Langzhong to live in the election camp. Qingchen, this errand will be handed over to you, you know medical skills, find a few good men. Yang Cong said righteously.

"Okay." Qingchen nodded.

This month, she did not go into the mountains with Yang Congyi to train, she has been busy in the camp, checking the quantity of materials, reconciling payments, and contacting a lot of people, she was originally from the mountains, and she was also a person who had suffered hardships, and she quickly adapted to the life of the barracks, and she got along with people more and more smoothly, and she was generous, so she was willing to do more, after all, in the camp, except for a few people, no one regarded her as a woman.

"Then let's do this first, wait for someone to come to Lin'an, if there is any change, we will make arrangements."

Yang Cong said righteously, everyone got up and left, and this was the end of the discussion.

As October 15 approached, more and more forbidden troops rushed to Suxi, from one a day to two or three a day, and as of the evening of 14 October, the 34th forbidden army had already been inhabited in the camp of the selected generals.

On the 15th, another four-way forbidden army came one after another and entered the general selection camp.

So far, there have been 38 forbidden armies that have come to participate in the election of generals, and when the sun sets, Yang Congyi immediately announced the closure of the camp, and those who have not arrived within the time limit have lost their qualifications for the election of generals.

On the 16th, when the forbidden troops of all walks of life had already started the training camp in the open space in front of their respective barracks, the belated ban troops outside the camp had already lost the opportunity to select generals, but they were still allowed to enter the camp.

In the next few days, two more forbidden troops arrived, and they also lost their qualifications to choose generals.

After five days of intensive training for the whole army, Yang Congyi spent a day explaining the challenges of selecting generals to the commanders of the 38th Route Forbidden Army, of course, the most important thing is the assessment of the generals, but the assessment content was not all told to them, only the actual combat challenges and the precautions for actual combat in the mountains.

They were then given seven days to get a map and get them into the mountains in advance to familiarize themselves with the terrain and prepare for the challenge that would begin in early November.

The commanders of the 38th Route Forbidden Army each led people into the mountain, and the rest of the soldiers remained in the camp.

After leaving the commander, the state of the teams left in the camp is different, some teams are still organizing and training military formations, some teams are sleeping and fishing freely, and the mental state of the teams in the training is also good and bad, some can practice for six or seven hours, some can only practice for three or two hours, and some only practice for more than one hour a day.

Yang Congyi walked around the selection camp and didn't say much, but just asked Shen Jin to record in detail the content and training time of each forbidden army's daily training.

"My lord, the front camp came to report, and a team of forbidden troops appeared outside the camp, and they wanted to see your lordship by name." Yang Congyi was in the camp thinking about the actual combat challenge a few days later, when suddenly a guard entered the camp.

"Do you know who they are?" Yang Congyi's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, I just heard them say that they came from Lin'an." Konoe replied.

Lin'an? Could it be that the king of the county has arrived?

Yang Congyi got up in shock, and then walked out of the camp quickly and went to the camp outside the valley.

When I came to the front camp, I saw a group of forbidden soldiers, with bright clothes and armor, holding spears, lined up three zhang away from the camp gate, judging from the dress and weaponry, they were indeed from Lin'an, and they were from the elite forbidden army in front of the palace.

Seeing Yang Congyi walking out of the camp gate, the captain of the forbidden army led by him stepped forward quickly, raised his hand and asked, "Dare to ask, but Lord Yang?" ”

"It's Yang." Yang Congyi responded with a faint smile, and stood eight feet away from the captain.

"Liu Kun, the former secretary of the palace of the last general, has seen Lord Yang." The lieutenant clasped his fists and saluted.

"What have you come from? But the commander of the general battalion, the king of Pu'an, has arrived? Yang Congyi asked in a righteous voice, but he was a little anxious in his heart.

"I don't know." Liu Kun responded, and then said: "In the future, I will be ordered by General Li, General Shao and General Zhang to invite Lord Yang to go to the city pavilion. ”

"General Li, General Shao? Who are these three generals? Yang Congyi had already guessed eight points in his heart.

"The three generals were ordered by the front division of the palace to come to Wuzhou to assist the front division of the palace in selecting generals." Liu Kun replied.

"Good. Wait for me for a quarter of an hour, and let me make arrangements. After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the barracks.

At this time, the front division of the palace sent three generals, there is no doubt that they should be the commanders to make the adults find a good selection of generals to judge, they must be experienced seniors in the battle formation, for the evaluation of the qualifications themselves, Yang Congyi is not worried, he is worried about whether the three seniors in the army can agree with the evaluation criteria he made, if there are different opinions, the selection of generals may be difficult to meet expectations.

Before leaving Lin'an, when Yang Congyi went to see Yang Cunzhong for the last time, he had already explained some details including the evaluation criteria in more detail, and I don't know if he had communicated with the three generals in this regard.

Yang Congyi returned to the camp, explained to Shen Jin, and hurried into the city with the forbidden army of the Suwei camp.

After entering the hotel, he was taken to a small hall for temporary settlement, and Liu Kun went to the three generals by himself.

When he didn't sit for a while, he heard the sound of steady footsteps outside the hall, Yang Congyi quickly got up and stood solemnly facing the outside of the hall.

The commander of the commander sent by the commander to judge the status of the general must be unusual, whether it is official position or status, it is not comparable to him, when he should be respectful, he must be respectful, otherwise he may be stumbled somewhere, but there is no place to reason.

The three of them chatted outside the hall, walked in slowly, glanced at Yang Congyi, and sat down on the left and right.

"You are Yang Congyi?" After sitting down, the hall was silent, and one of the generals in his fifties with a half-foot-long beard looked Yang Congyi up and down a few times, and then asked.

Yang Congyi hurriedly raised his hand to salute: "Yes, the lower official is Yang Congyi, the deputy envoy of the former general selection department of the palace, and the head of the general camp is also selected, and the general camp is supervised." I have seen three adults, and I have lost my welcome, and I hope that the three adults Haihan! ”

"Deputy Envoy Yang doesn't have to be polite, sit down and say." The man smiled slightly, with kindness on his face.

"Yes! Thank you, sir! Yang Congyi agreed, gave another salute, and then sat down next to him.
