Chapter 43 The Food Problem

After sending the two to spy on the murderer who secretly killed Li Mo, Fang Tao and Zhang Song sat quietly and drank tea.

It was getting late, and the green pine valley was still noisy, and the small peach trees in front of the courtyard formed a sparse shadow in the sunset, and the shadow shone on Zhang Song and Fang Tao, reflecting the shadow of the high mountain.

There was a small iron pot on the earthen stove next to it, and water was boiling in the pot, and a relative was adding hot water to the pot.

Fang Tao's residence is on the edge of the hinterland of Qingsong Valley, so the noise is a bit far away.

Zhang Song enjoyed the silence very much, closed his eyes and half-lay down.

"It's so late, Zhong Jun hasn't come back yet." Fang Tao said worriedly, "Zhang Jun, is the plan you said feasible?" Can Zhong Jun do that today? ”

The plan that Fang Tao called was the plan that Zhang Song told Zhong Lei and Fang Tao last night. Since Zhang Song, Zhong Lei and Fang Tao determined the goal of being the masters of Qingsong Valley, the three of them have never stopped planning.

After returning to Zhong Lei's residence last night, Zhong Lei and Fang Tao both advocated taking Minzhi, Yu Xinzhi, Chen Jia and Zhou Fang in one fell swoop to rectify Qingsong Valley. However, Zhang Song resolutely objected, firstly, considering that the teacher was unknown, and Zhou Mingshu was so strong when he was alive, he did not dare to resolutely leave Yu Minzhi for no reason; The second is that whether it is Zhang Song himself or Zhong Lei and Fang Tao, the prestige is not higher than that of Minzhi, and the decisive measures can certainly succeed in the current situation, but they cannot fully integrate the power of Qingsong Valley, and there will definitely be a big conflict within Qingsong Valley.

In the end, Zhang Song put forward his own opinion, try to grasp the power of Qingsong Valley under the condition of avoiding major conflicts, that is, to strive for all the forces in Qingsong Valley except for Yu Minzhi, Yu Xinzhi, Chen Jia and Zhou Fang, etc., as long as they can be fought for, they must be fought for, so as to isolate Yu Minzhi and let Yu Minzhi be a loner.

There are currently two very important steps in this plan, one is to compete with Yu Minzhi for Zhou Mingshu's subordinates, after all the diehards who originally supported Zhou Mingshu were executed, this is the time to fight; The second is to use the food problem to hit Yu Minzhi's prestige and improve the prestige of Zhang Song, Zhong Lei, and Fang Tao.

Zhong Lei went to Yu Min's place today precisely to raise the food issue and make it difficult for Yu Minzhi.

"Okay." Zhang Song replied with a smile, his expression calm.

"Could it be that Yu Minzhi has already gotten food?" Fang Tao said to himself, "Impossible, I have been surrounded by Mengshan bandits for the past two days, and it is impossible to get food." Is the news of food shortage fake? It's impossible, otherwise the rumors would have been refuted long ago. ”

Zhang Song just lay quietly and half-lying, letting Fang Tao talk to himself, unless there are very special circumstances, otherwise Zhong Lei will definitely be able to achieve his goal today, and now he is thinking about the problem after gaining control of Qingsong Valley.

Fang Tao muttered to himself for a while, and when he saw that Zhang Song was leisurely and not worried at all, he asked strangely: "Why aren't you worried at all?" ”

"Worried about what? Nine out of ten things, what is there to worry about! Zhang Song took a sip of tea and frowned as usual.

"If you're not worried, I'm too lazy to worry, anyway, it's right to follow you." Fang Tao also took a sip of tea, "Is my tea so bad?" You look so disgusted. ”

"It's really unpleasant. When I have time, I'll make it for you, and you'll know. ”

"Humph! You've said this I don't know how many times, and I haven't seen the tea you brewed so far. ”

"That's because I don't have time." Zhang Songdao.

After arriving in this era, Zhang Song is indeed very unaccustomed to the diet of this era, but he really has no time to think about this aspect.

Fang Tao pursed his lips, this is a move he often does after getting acquainted with Zhang Song, expressing his disapproval.

The two of them laughed and half-lay down, no longer talking, quietly, except for the sound of boiling water, only the sun walked silently.

When the setting sun stopped on the top of the mountain in the east, Zhong Lei hurriedly returned to Fang Tao's residence.

As soon as Zhong Lei returned, he sat down, took the tea on the table and drank it all, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"How's it going, Zhong-kun?" Fang Tao hurriedly asked.

Zhang Song sat up straight with a smile and looked at Zhong Lei quietly.

"It's really as Zhang Jun expected!" Zhong Lei said excitedly.

"Really? That's great! Fang Tao jumped up, and then sat down in his seat because of the pain, but the smile on his face remained the same.

"It's just that in this way, we have completely offended Yu Minzhi and Yu Xinzhi." Zhong Lei's face sank slightly.

"If you are offended, you will be offended, during this period of time, Yu Minzhi has accepted some people, and when Zhou Mingshu was alive, he thought that he could completely break away from us, and now that Zhou Mingshu is dead, she will have no scruples, as long as we don't want to be in the same stream with her, sooner or later we will offend her." Fang Tao comforted Zhong Lei.

"That's too!" Zhong Lei smiled.

Zhong Lei is just a little scrupled, a little unaccustomed, and not really afraid of Yu Minzhi, now listening to Fang Tao's persuasion, the last scruple is gone, and he is completely let go.

"Are you really sure about getting food?" Zhong Lei asked Zhang Song a little worriedly at this time.

"No problem." Zhang Song said with a smile, his tone was very relaxed.

Zhong Lei was relieved at this time, he remembered the scene of discussing things with Yu Minzhi, Yu Xinzhi, and Chen Jia in the council hall today.

After today's morning meal, Zhong Lei went to look for Yu Minzhi according to Zhang Song's request, and finally found Yu Minzhi, Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia in the meeting hall, and the three of them were discussing the details of Zhou Mingshu's funeral, mainly to discuss how Yu Minzhi could shine.

Zhong Lei sat down honestly and waited, waiting for Zhou Fang's arrival.

"After waiting for so long, is there anything wrong with you?" Yu Minzhi asked Zhong Lei at this time.

"I would like to ask Madame, how to solve the problem of grain shortage?" Zhong Lei asked respectfully.

"I will solve the problem of food shortage, when will it be your turn to pay attention to these problems?" Yu Minzhi was quite impatient.

"Recently, Guri's people have been fluctuating because of this matter, and I think that if I don't solve it, it will probably cause turmoil, so I came to ask Madame." Zhong Lei's face was calm and his tone was steady.

"People's hearts are floating? Why haven't I heard of it? It's you who are creating rumors and disturbing the morale of the military! Yu Minzhi said coldly that after Zhou Mingshu's death, there were still people who dared to challenge her authority, which made her extremely disgusted.

"That's not it, I've heard about it, and I heard a lot of people talking about it on the way to the council hall." Zhou Fang suddenly interjected, his tone full of worry.

Zhong Lei glanced at Zhou Fang in surprise, he didn't expect Zhou Fang to help him speak.

"So what do you want to do?" Yu Minzhi's face became even more ugly now.

"What else can I do, while Zhong Lei is also here, it is better to work together to come up with a foolproof plan now." Zhou Fang was very calm, and did not have mood swings because of Yu Minzhi's anger.

"No, I have my own opinions!" Yu Minzhi's face became even more ugly, and he said in a stiff tone.

"I don't know what Madame's proposition is, can the food shortage be solved in three days?" Zhou Fang asked unhurriedly, looking very leisurely.

Yu Minzhi's chest rose and fell for a while, and he suddenly calmed down again, and asked, "Don't you care what I have to say, is it possible that you have any good ideas?" ”

"In that case, Madame just can't do anything." Zhou Fang said slowly, "I don't have anything to do. ”

"It's over, so what do you ask? People who don't know think you have great skills. Yu Minzhi's expression became relaxed, and he said with a sneer.

Zhou Fang ignored Yu Minzhi's sneer, he said lightly: "Although I don't have anything to do, but we can listen to Zhong Lei's opinion first, he came here today, isn't it just for this matter?" ”

Yu Minzhi smiled and asked Zhong Lei: "Do you have any way?" ”

Zhong Lei looked at Yu Minzhi and found that although Yu Minzhi's face pulled out a smile, the flesh on his face did not move much.

"I just thought about it and came to remind Madame, but there is nothing I can do." Zhong Lei's appearance seemed to be retreating.

At this time, in front of the council hall, some people had already gathered, and they were patiently waiting for the results of the discussion of several people in the council hall. Chen Jia's entourage wanted to close the door of the council hall, but was stopped by Yu Minzhi.

"It doesn't matter if there is no way, you can think slowly, since Zhong Lei is so active, then it is up to you to solve the food problem in the valley. No excuses! “

After Yu Minzhi finished speaking, he left with Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia. Zhou Fang didn't say anything this time, glanced at Zhong Lei coldly, and left.

After listening to Zhong Lei's story, Zhang Song said with a smile: "Very good, you can do this tomorrow." ”

#######

"Sister, why don't you punish Zhong Lei, he and Fang Tao have been getting worse and worse recently, and now they dare to ask you!"

"Punish him? Doesn't this let everyone in the valley know that I can't solve the food shortage? "Yu Min's way.

"Then if Zhong Lei really solves this problem, won't it increase his ambition?" I asked in my heart.

"It's successful, it's because I lead well, arrange it properly, and know people well! What ambition does he have! Yu Minzhi said proudly.

"And what if he fails?"

"Failed, that is because of his low ability and lack of ability, then I will ask for Zhong Lei's head for this crime, and use his head to calm the anger of many soldiers in Qingsong Valley!"

"So, no matter how well he does this, it will be beneficial to us and no harm?" Yu Xinzhi was happy, "Sister, you are really amazing, the people in the green pine can't turn your palm anymore." ”

"Hmm. I just thought of it! Yu Minzhi's face was pale, "It's just that you still have to pay attention to Zhou Fang, he is swaying now, and he doesn't seem to be very willing to live under us." ”

"Sister, you can rest assured."
