Chapter 447: The Contest Begins

In the middle of the night, the third watch had passed, and Luoyang City was immersed in silence.

Yang Mansion repaired the bamboo courtyard, Cui Wenqing did not feel sleepy, still tossing and turning on the bed, difficult to sleep.

According to Cui Wenqing's estimate, as long as several bundles of firewood can be put into the warehouse and produce strong smoke when burning, it will only take a short time to fill the empty warehouse.

However, is the method that Chen Ningmo thought of really the best way? Will Gao Shiyu think of a better way than smoke to fill the warehouse?

Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing felt that he should be more cautious, so he was still thinking.

I don't know how long it took, and the first rooster crow came from afar, which also made Cui Wenqing sober up from his thoughts.

He sighed to himself, just rolled out of the bed, lit the oil lamp in front of the table, put on a coat, opened the door and walked towards the courtyard.

At this time, the world is silent, the moonlight is like water, the shade of flowers and trees, the jagged courtyard, and the place where you see it is also hazy, not a darkness.

Walking out and being blown by the whistling night wind, Cui Wenqing's somewhat chaotic mind gradually calmed down, he looked up at the cold moon in the sky, and Zhou was bathed in the bright moonlight.

After standing still for an unknown amount of time, Cui Wenqing suddenly realized something, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his lips bloomed with a relaxed smile.

Early the next morning, Hanjiacang in the northeast corner of Luoyang Palace City was already overcrowded.

Hanjiacang was built in the Sui Dynasty, from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty on a large scale of grain storage, at the peak of the grain can store 6 million stones, can be described as the largest granary in the Central Plains.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the reason why Qi Taizu was able to rise to Luoyang and sweep the whole world had a lot to do with the abundant grain reserves in Luoyang City at that time.

While other separatist warlords plundered grain everywhere but still couldn't eat enough, the army led by Qi Taizu was a meal of wheat cakes and rice, which naturally attracted many people to join Qi Taizu's command and provided sufficient soldier security.

It can be said that Hanjiacang is an important cornerstone of Daqi's foundation, and it also has far-reaching strategic significance.

Today, Hanjiacang has more than 3 million stone of grain in reserve, and this amount is due to the recent flood in the south of the Yangtze River that transported a lot of grain to disaster relief.

Early this morning, many students have gathered in front of the granary of Hanjiacang, coming to watch the competition between Cui Wenqing and Gao Shiyu, and these two will also decide the winner here, and the winner will be the president of the student union.

As soon as the hour came, the Son of Heaven's guard of honor came slowly and stopped in front of the two vacant barn doors.

Chen Hong, who had just left the court, took the prime ministers to the temporary crown ceremony platform and sat behind the desk to watch the competition.

In this way, it caused an uproar among the students.

You must know that the officials and prime ministers have every day to manage every day, and it is really rare to spend time watching the presidium election of the student union twice before and after.

Soon, Cui Wenqing and Gao Shiyu, who were the people of the competition, arrived one after the other.

In the face of today's competition, both of them are obviously very confident, especially Gao Shiyu, who is a little more arrogant and proud.

In the past two days, Xie Junhao specially invited several talented people to think about the method of filling the empty warehouse for Gao Shiyu, and finally thought of a very good way, Gao Shiyu believes that he can also use this strategy to completely defeat Cui Wenqing and become the master of the student union.

The two came to the high stage, and after bowing to the official Chen Hong and the prime minister on the stage, they came to stand solemnly in front of the empty warehouse.

Chen Ningmo, who was dressed in white and white dress, had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw the two of them arriving as promised, he said loudly: "The day before yesterday, in the presidium election of the Guozijian Student Union, candidates Cui Wenqing and Gao Shiyu each got 433 votes, and the number of votes was equal. ”

After saying this, Chen Ningmo looked at Cui Wenqing and Gao Shiyu, and asked lightly, "I wonder if the two of you are ready?" ”

"Back to the bachelor, everything is in order." Cui Wenqing took the lead.

Chen Ningmo glanced at Cui Wenqing, but was very surprised that he didn't carry anything, and he didn't even have the firewood used to make smoke, so he couldn't help but be secretly curious, and asked, "Cui Wenqing, why didn't you bring anything filled?" So to fill the empty position so much? ”

Cui Wenqing winked at her rather mysteriously, and said with a smile: "You don't have to bring things to fill the empty warehouse, you have your own measure, bachelor, you can rest assured." ”

There were all students watching the competition, and when everyone heard Cui Wenqing's words, there was an uproar.

actually came to participate in the "empty warehouse filling" without bringing anything, is this Cui Wenqing crazy? !

Hearing this, Chen Ningmo was also angry, but he also understood that Cui Wenqing did not intend to use half of the method she thought of.

In other words, Cui Wenqing has thought of a better way.

It seems that he struggled to think about it, and everything was just self-inflicted.

Thinking of this, she smiled wryly, but she didn't take it to heart.

Since he has a better way, it is naturally the best, and it also avoids her guilt of secretly cheating in order to change the overall situation.

It's just that Cui Wenqing is empty-handed, he didn't carry anything, and he didn't know what the hell he had in mind, so it was really impossible to guess his thoughts.

Looking at Gao Shiyu again, he didn't carry those large things, so he collapsed a heavy backpack on his shoulders, I don't know what it contained, but judging from his expression, he was very confident, and it was obvious that he was winning.

Don't think too much, Chen Ning said in a strange way: "Since the two players are ready, okay, let's start the competition now, there are two vacant warehouses behind me, just invite the two players to go in and compete." ”

As soon as Chen Ningmo's words fell, Gao Shiyu responded to the voice, and hurriedly ran into the empty warehouse with the huge satchel on his back, for fear that he would be one step behind Cui Wenqing, obviously trying to seize time.

Seeing this, Cui Wenqing snorted disdainfully, and seemed to have no intention of seizing time at all, so he walked slowly into another vacant warehouse.

These two barns are built of blue bricks and stones, a door to enter the grain, and there are several small windows for ventilation at the top of the barn, and when the two people enter the gate, they can't see what they are doing inside.

Gao Neng looked at the warehouse where Cui Wenqing was for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Miss Sima, you said that Brother Cui didn't bring anything, and he wanted to fill the empty warehouse, is this reliable?!" ”

Sima Wei was also surprised that Cui Wenqing did not adopt Chen Ningmo's method, and sighed softly after thinking for a while: "Brother Wenqing is very wise, he must have his own plans for doing this, let's just watch the changes." ”

Gao Neng nodded, and continued to wait with a nervous expression.
