Houshan Farm has now developed into a place for raising seedlings and storing grain, and those surplus fields have become a retirement home for the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army. Fastest updates

This is also Mao Wenlong's special arrangement, those wounded soldiers can no longer go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, or old veterans, can work here or plant some small fields to support themselves.

After a year of development, now the people here are rich and have a worry-free life. The Dongjiang Army will kill the enemy without fear of death, and such favorable conditions can be said to be a very important driving force.

But if you want to enter here to retire, you must meet some requirements for military exploits, and this place has truly become a holy place for all soldiers.

The person in charge of the farm is an out-and-out veteran, a one-legged old man, with no children and no daughters. The old man's name is Xiao Youle, he was originally a hundred generals in the Dongjiang Army, and in one kill, he single-handedly killed nearly 100 enemies, but he also lost a leg.

Xiao Youle heard that Mao Wenlong was coming, so he hurriedly came to the gate of the farm to greet him, looking at the Maofu carriage rushing on the avenue ahead, the old man's face was full of smiles.

"Farm Xiao Youle to see the general soldier." Xiao Youle waited until the carriage stopped, and when Mao Wenlong got out of the carriage, he was directly about to bow down with the support of his two subordinates.

"If you have fun, you don't need to be polite if you have difficulty moving, it's all veterans, where did you learn the stinky rules." Although Mao Wenlong taught a lesson, he took two steps forward to support Xiao Youle, who was about to bow down.

"Hehe, the general soldier is still so straightforward, and the old man is as ordered." Xiao Youle didn't pretentiously either, so he simply stopped insisting.

Under the leadership of Xiao Youle, Mao Wenlong and him came to the small wooden building in the farm, and after they sat down, they were sent tea. Xiao Youle then asked: "The general soldier suddenly came, it must not be just to see us old men, right?" ”

Talking about business, Mao Wenlong showed a wry smile on his face, and said: "I didn't come to this farm for military rations, how much food do we have now?" ”

Xiao Youle may not know the situation outside, he smiled happily: "Chief soldier, this year's autumn harvest is better than in previous years, and our harvest has improved a lot." Although a lot of military rations were supplied to the army because of the conquest of Henan, the current surplus grain is still enough to support the next season's harvest. ”

After hearing this, Mao Wenlong shook his head again and again: "It's not enough, this kind of food is far from enough!" ”

"Why?" Xiao Youle was stunned for a moment.

"Now that the whole of Henan has been defeated, the territory has expanded, and the population has increased, only these grain stocks are enough to support the next quarter." Mao Wenlong was quite emotional.

"Have you taken Henan?" Xiao Youle immediately exclaimed.

Mao Wenlong didn't say much, and nodded directly.

Xiao Youle was excited at first, then slowly calmed down, and then, like Mao Wenlong just now, began to be distressed.

Previously, his surplus food was enough to only calculate the current cost of the Dongjiang army and chassis, but now it is the population and army of the entire Henan, which is far from enough.

After a long time, Mao Wenlong asked Xiao Youle directly: "This is the situation, we all save some, and then you clean up all the food that can be saved for me." Try to have as much as you can, or simply take out half of the stockpile. ”

After Xiao Youle heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "It's not appropriate for the general soldier to be like this, when there were not many of us before, this might also boost morale." But now it is different, if we do not have enough food, the morale of the army will be unstable. ”

Mao Wenlong naturally understands the reason, but now he has no other way, except to save the emergency by doing so, what else can he do?

Xiao Youle is in charge of this granary, and he has the responsibility to ensure that there is enough grain, and of course he will not easily let Mao Wenlong move these stored grains. But at this time, Mao Wenlong seemed to have made up his mind, and vowed to use the stored grain to save the emergency, which was not possible.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Youle suddenly chuckled and said, "Chief soldier, in fact, you can still go and ask a person for food." ”

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment: "Who is it?" ”

Xiao Youle laughed and said, "The Qing family in Kaifeng City." ”

Mao Wenlong paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Damn, why did you forget this gold master." ”

didn't stay any longer, Mao Wenlong flew directly to Huimao Mansion, and then took the vast and small and a hundred guards, and went on the road lightly on the same day and rushed to Kaifeng City in person.

Three days later, Zhuang Yexiang suddenly received the news of Mao Wenlong's coming, but she didn't know why Mao Wenlong came suddenly. With a face full of doubts, she led the officials of Kaifeng City to greet her at the gate of the city in person.

When Mao Wenlong arrived at Kaifeng City, he saw the city gate open from a distance, and a large group of people were waiting at the city gate.

Zhuang Yexiang looked at Mao Wenlong, who came lightly and dusty, and suddenly felt a bad omen. It can be seen from Mao Wenlong's appearance at the moment that he is very anxious, and she must have expected that something big must have happened that caused Mao Wenlong to be in such a hurry.

Red tape was waived, and after Zhuang Yexiang received Mao Wenlong, he directly welcomed him to the palace and dismissed all the officials and subordinates. Zhuang Yexiang said bluntly: "The chief soldier came in such a hurry, what is the matter? ”

Seeing Zhuang Yexiang so upright, Mao Wenlong was not polite, and said bluntly: "Come and ask you for food." ”

Zhuang Yexiang paused for a moment, seemed to know something, and said, "How much?" ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "300,000 people, a month's ration." ”

This is definitely a lot, and now Mao Wenlong knows that Zhuang Yexiang has recently raised 80,000 soldiers and horses to conquer Henan. Presumably a lot of food has been spent, and now that Mao Wenlong asks her for food again, it's not easy to speak.

Zhuang Yexiang's eyebrows were twisted together, but she strangely didn't complain or postpone, but agreed as soon as she gritted her teeth.

In this way, Mao Wenlong began to feel embarrassed. After all, he also knew Zhuang Yexiang's situation, and the number just now was just to prevent Zhuang Yexiang from bargaining, but he didn't expect this daughter to agree as soon as she gritted her teeth.

"If you're really in trouble, it's okay to reduce it appropriately, after all, this is not military food, and we can save a little." Mao Wenlong suddenly had a bad conscience and offered to reduce food.

However, Zhuang Yexiang shook his head and said, "Thank you for the understanding of the general soldiers, but there is no need, we can still hold up this food." But I also have a request, and I hope the general soldier will agree. ”

Mao Wenlong was very generous, and said with a smile: "Please say, as long as you don't touch the bottom line, I can promise you." ”

Zhuang Yexiang nodded and said, "In the future, Kaifeng City will not need to pay any taxes within three years." ”

Mao Wenlong's embarrassment just now suddenly dissipated, and Zhuang Yexiang in front of him was really not a master who was willing to suffer, and he said that the taxes of Kaifeng City for three years did not need to be paid.
