Chapter 81: Faith

"My lord, I'm waiting for food! I'll wait for the food......" Seeing Xiong Jing standing at the gap, some excited soldiers actually rushed over with Tao Yi in their arms to report the good news. The sanitation hurriedly stopped them, but Xiong Jing walked through the sanitation and walked towards them who were extremely excited.

"King, this is the new grain for the Qin people." Since the commander was an officer, he naturally knew that the pottery was used to store new grain.

Crops have post-ripening behavior after harvesting, which needs to be done through respiration. Like a small Hakka walled house, there are pores on the side of the pottery, which can regulate the temperature and humidity inside. After it is finished, the new grain will be poured into the square barn. Fangcang is those houses east of Taoyi, the long-term storage of the square warehouse in the Chu State is generally 10,000 stones, or 20,000 stones, and the largest square warehouse in the Qin State has 100,000 stones.

"How much grain is stored here?" Xiong Jing looked at the granary on the hillside again, wondering how much corn there was.

"I don't know." The pawn said. The granaries are all over the south of Ao Mountain, except for the Qin people, no one can say how much grain there is in Ao Cang at one time, and the only word that can accurately describe it can only be Su Ru Canghai.

"Great, great king bravery!" Xiong Jing hurriedly walked forward after asking, and when he left, the pawn commander couldn't help but shout, it seems that the trick that Peng Zong played has spread among the soldiers.

"How much grain does Aocang have?" There were husbands and officials in Aocang, and the Chu army that invaded from the grain canal occupied the Zhisu Officials' Mansion within the parapet wall. None of the officials inside fled, as if waiting for Xiang Yan's reception.

"General, there are 49.76 million stones of millet in Aocang, 7.39 million stones of soy, 6.17 million stones of wheat, and 2 million stones of millet. There are also 4.3 million stones of sauce, 830,000 stones of liquor, 300,000 stones of wine, and more than 5 million bunches of herbs...... "The Qin officials all knelt on the ground and bowed their bodies. The number they reported was more than the figure given by Zhibisi, but thinking that the new millet had just been harvested, and the three million households in the Qin State produced 500 or 600 million stones of millet a year, the grain here was just a year's accumulation of the Qin State.

Three years of ploughing and more than one year's food, nine years of livestock for three years, eighteen years and six years, twenty-seven years and nine years of storage. Ploughing and war is the national policy of the Qin State, and it is not known whether the Qin State has a nine-year reserve, but there must be a three-year animal. Thinking that there were nine Ao Cangs in the Qin State, the generals who were originally excited were somewhat disheartened.

"I'm going to take all the grain here." Xiang Yan's eyes were a little red, he didn't care how much grain there was in the Qin State, he only knew that the grain here was enough for the Chu State to eat for a whole year. "As for you and others, those who are willing can go to the country of Chu with those who are about to go to the country of Chu, and those who are unwilling, after transporting the grain, they will go to which country they want."

As soon as Xiang Yan said that he wanted to transport the grain here, the Qin officials trembled all over, and the leader cried: "The general must not transport grain, must not transport grain!" Our family is all in the Qin State, and if we transport grain, we will all die. ”

Sobbing. The Qin State has a system of sole responsibility and shared taste, so these Qin officials did not dare to run, let alone set fire to the warehouse. When the state of Chu attacked, they thought that they were just eating and taking, and soon the Qin army would counterattack Ao Cang and drive them away. Now that the Chu army has transported all the grain and straw, where can they afford to taste so much grain?

"Keep an eye on them. From this moment on, every square warehouse must be guarded. Xiang Yan snorted and threw his sleeves away.

According to the plan of the Operations Division, the Chu army that had just captured Aocang performed its own duties. The most important thing was to defend to prevent the Qin army from counterattacking, and at the beginning of the landing, there were divisions and brigades to the south, west, and east to seize important places. Aoshan is twenty or thirty miles long from east to west, and although there is a grain transportation canal as a pool, the divisions still hammer down the iron piles in the south of the grain transportation canal and pull up the barbed wire fence that is more than one zhang high and overlapping on top of each other.

Outside of defense is transport. The builders are installing cranes at the wharf of the grain canal, while the people of the Concrete Pharf are pouring new concrete wharves for more boats to dock. The garden Tianze was not idle, and Feng Renjiao personally commanded the craftsmen to dig deep foundations in the high places of Zenai. Although it was only a dry-slab building, and the foundation was nothing more than pillars, he had to pour the wharf and the first floor in five days to free up the corn that had been transferred.

According to the calculations of the transportation department, there are two transports between Aocang and Putianze, and the daily corn that can be transported will not be 1.8 million stones, and if only the boats of the Chu State are relied upon, they will not be able to transport the grain of Aocang in a month. It is not a question of whether to keep it for a month or two months, but I am afraid that the river and canal water will freeze after October, in that case, the grain transportation will have to be delayed until next spring, so the time of guarding will be too long and too long.

The news of the Chu army of the previous day was the news of the victory of the Chu army over the side of the chasm, but on this day it was said that the Chu army had taken Aocang, and the corn of Aocang was piled up like a mountain, and the boat of Chu could not be transported, and it was necessary for the boat of Qi to help. Qu Guang couldn't help but tremble when he heard the news, he didn't think about corn for a day in the past two years in Linzi, and now that he has captured Aocang, Chu State no longer has to worry about corn.

"What does Qu Qing mean? The king of Chu pulled out Ao Cang?! "In the early dynasty, Qi Wang Tianjian, who had retreated to Xiaobei, had already changed into a deep coat, and he thought that Quguang had come to urge him to ask for corn again. In the past two years, the state of Qi has sold the surplus corn to the state of Chu, and under the pressure of the state of Qin, and also due to the needs of domestic corn, the state of Qi has been ready to reduce the amount of grain sold to the state of Chu.

Tian Jian pushed away Concubine Li beside him, very moved. Of course, he knew that there was more corn there than there was more water in the Win Sea. The woman took Ao Cang and sent people to ask to see her, not to carry grain herself.

"Tell the king, and yes." Refractive smiled. "The widow remembered the kindness of his uncle's previous assistance, and now he has the millet of Aocang, so he asked the king to send a boat to Aocang to transport grain."

"Ahh Tian Jian was dumbfounded. He didn't expect such a good thing. "Really?"

"Yes, yes." Refractive eyebrows smiled, "It's just that there are more than 60 million stone ...... in Aocang corn."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ......" Tian Jian wanted to drink saliva to suppress the shock, but as soon as he said more than 60 million stones, he suddenly choked.

There are more than 60 million stone millet, even if the population of Qi is nearly 5 million, but the industry and commerce are prosperous, it will not be able to produce more than 60 million stone millet in a year, and so much corn should be accumulated in the warehouse, with the administrative efficiency of Qi country, I am afraid that it will not be accumulated in ten years.

"The king......" Concubine Li hurriedly helped Tian Jian pat her back, but fortunately, Tian Jian's choking was not heavy enough, and he didn't cough for a while.

"Qu Qing, did the king of Chu really say so, do you want the widow to send a boat to transport corn?" Tian Jian asked again.

"The minister does not dare to deceive, the widow does say so, the king has as many boats as he wants, and how much corn he can carry, he will transport as much corn as he wants." Refractive tract. "However, Linzi and Yingdu are the same, far away from Aocang, so the contempt of the state of Zhou Ji first transported the corn to the garden, so that more than two million stones can be transported a day, and then transported back to the Chu State in the future."

"Sonatazawa?" Tian Jian naturally knew about Tian Ze. The state of Chu transported the corn into the garden, and the Qin army could no longer grab it back.

"The country has built a warehouse with concrete in Putianze," refractive only saw the word concrete, but did not know what it meant. "The grain is placed in the garden, even in winter, it is foolproof."

"Does the king of Chu want to send troops with no people?" Tian Jian suddenly asked about this.

"The widow only asked the king to send a boat to transport grain, and did not say anything about sending troops." Refractive said, his attitude was extremely sincere.

"Really?" Tian Jian asked uneasily.

"It is indeed not, this world can be learned." Refractive said loudly.

"Good." Tian Jian smiled. "The widow just asks, Qu Qing don't worry. The widow sent a boat to Aocang to carry grain today. ”

Ao Cang has been occupied by the Chu army, and it is not to be an enemy of the Qin State to transport grain, but to take advantage of his own daughter's house, and it would be too sorry not to take such a benefit. On the same day, the king's order to make the Gaotang and Plain boats on the south bank of the Yellow River go west against the water was issued from Linzi, and the boats in the Linzi area sailed east into the Win Sea, and then went west against the Yellow River.

The number of boats of the State of Qi is second only to the State of Chu, and when the mighty boats sail into the Yellow River from the mouth of the Yellow River, the soldiers of Zhao on both sides of the Yellow River were immediately shocked, thinking that the Qi army was coming. Fortunately, the king of Handan arrived in Fuyang and Zhongyi two days ago, and told Qi Guozhou that he would go west along the river in the next few days. As for what the people of Qi are going to do, it is not what these low-level generals can know.

"The courage of the king of Chu is unstoppable in the world. I heard that the king of Qin was in Daliang, and when I heard that the king of Chu was there, I fled overnight. "Handan Chunping Marquis Mansion, Xiangbang Chunping Marquis praised Xiong Jing in front of the Crane Guanzi.

There are sincere and false intentions in this, at least the Chu State dragged the Qin State, so that the Zhao State was able to calmly attack the Yan State. Just a few days ago, the Zhao army had taken Fuyang, as long as it could break through the Juyong Fortress on the southern edge of the Fuyang Basin, attack the Jicheng Plain from the north, and break the protracted stalemate of the Yishui Great Wall.

The Marquis of Chunping has already seen hope in this, as long as the Qin State has been fighting with the Chu State and has no time to Yan State, there will be another half a year for the Zhao army to level the Yan State, suppress all resistance within three years, and completely annex the Yan State. Therefore, whenever Que Guanzi lobbied him to send troops to resist Qin, he always asked Que Guanzi to speak to Chu State, and asked Chu State to support Zhao State to destroy Yan, and when Zhao State solved his worries, he would inevitably condone and reject Qin.

"Alas. The prince is afraid that Qin is like this, and would rather destroy the Yan Kingdom than return to Zhaodi? Crane Guanzi sighed, talked several times, he knew the thoughts of Chun Pinghou.

"It's not that I'm afraid of Qin, may I ask sir, if he attacks me in the future, will the King of Chu really save me?" Chunpinghou asked.

"The king of Chu has said that the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao and Qi are allied and jointly attack the eastern county of Qin. The state of Chu does not want an inch of land, and wishes that the country of Zhao will get the eastern county, and the king of Qi will be said by the king of Chu, so that he will have several cities to block the mouth of the Qi people. If he kills Zhao in the future, Chu Qi will save him......"

"I believe it." Chunping Hou interrupted it without waiting for the crane to finish speaking, "There is no faith in the world for a long time, and there is no definite diplomatic relationship between countries." Since I am the prime minister of Zhao, how can I put Zhao in danger? ”
