As Lu Peng showed his talents, a unique feast was freshly baked, Zou Jing was dripping with juice while eating, and at the same time ruthlessly educated Lu Peng's nobles in the rules and demeanor of their actions, if there was a slight mistake, they had to be severely reprimanded, and from time to time they had to use sticks, which meant that Lu Peng had to be educated as a model among the nobles, and he scorned his small peasant actions in addition to scorn.

Lu Peng is so depressed, you eat me, drink mine, and as a result, you continue to belittle me, I express my resolute indignation at such a person, so I pulled a suckling pig leg fiercely, and directly gnawed it heartily.

Looking at this guy who grabbed the fattest part and didn't supply himself, Zou Jing was so angry that he screamed again and again: "No superior, no bottom, don't wait to see the elder, this son is unreasonable." ”

Lu Peng was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, and only cared about eating hard.

Looking at the guy who turned a deaf ear to his teachings, Zou Jing definitely didn't let him eat well, and he had to block him, so he slapped the table and yelled: "Lu Hanqiang, what did you do if I told you to solve the grain and grass matter?" If you don't come up with a good charter, I'll discount your leg right now. ”

Lu Peng wondered, what are the calves of the commander of this dignified military region and me, the militia platoon commander, called, but the superiors asked, and they couldn't help but answer, so they put down the pig's leg in their hands in pain, and didn't wipe their hands, just arched their hands to Zou Jing so indifferently, and then said slowly: "The things that the adults ordered, I already have a plan in mind, if the adults can agree, then the matter of military rations can be easily solved." ”

Yo he, it doesn't seem to have stumped you yet, and I am proud of you, Zou Jing snorted and said with a dark face: "Say." ”

Lu Peng said slowly: "Actually, the idea is very simple, that is, don't transport grain and grass from behind, just send us money, and then, we and the gentry along the way to buy grain and grass, wouldn't it be convenient?" ”

"Transporting money? Buying along the way? "Everyone, you look at me, I think yours is a little uncomfortable, this is absolutely unprecedented, throughout the ages, the army is fighting outside, and the logistics supply is two methods, one is the rear transportation, or there is always a plan to cut off the grain route, and the other is to recruit along the way, but this method is only suitable for your own jurisdiction, and it will not be possible now, as a result, Lu Peng suddenly came up with such a way to buy, which is indeed refreshing and unexpected.

"How is this possible?" Zou Jing also became serious at this time, put down the wine in his hand, stared at Lu Peng and asked.

Seeing that Zou Jing rarely attached so much importance to himself, Lu Peng put away his casual look, became solemn, sat up straight, and bowed his hand in a proper manner: "Lord Captain." ”

As a result, Zou Jing waved his hand impatiently: "Don't be vain, say it quickly." ”

Yes, just this sentence discouraged Lu Peng again. So he returned to his original appearance again, and explained slowly: "Our army is on an expedition, and the grain and grass are transported from Youzhou in the rear, and there are six drawbacks here. ”

There are drawbacks, but everyone really didn't expect that there were six more, so they all listened with interest.

Lu Peng stretched out his first hand and said: "This first, long-distance transportation, a large number of people need to be requisitioned, so that the people are angry and complain about the people's livelihood, and it also delays the people's agricultural production, which can be said to have a hundred disadvantages but no benefits." ”

Liu Bei listened carefully, and Zou Jing thoughtfully.

"The second drawback is the consumption of transportation, all the way to transport, people along the way eat horses and feed, as well as run and drip, to the front line, the consumption along the way is ten and twenty, so that the already tense logistics are even more tense, it is really sad."

This is common sense, and everyone knows it, and there are no surprises.

"The third drawback is that it is very easy to breed corruption, we are fighting in the front, and the officials in the rear can be here to get their hands on it, wantonly greedy ink, especially there will be deductions, it was originally planned to transport 10,000 Hu to the front of the army every day, but the gang of guys behind it was stipulated that there were only 8,000, or even only half."

Zou Jing felt this kind of thing the most, and suffered from it, but he couldn't do anything, because this has become the rule of the empire for hundreds of thousands of years, and many people want to make a fortune here, but at the same time, they can't stand up against it, after all, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and you can't break the rules, once you break the rules, you are almost everyone's public enemy, then you are not far from bad luck.

"Fourth, if it is requisitioned by the locality, it is even more disadvantageous, this is the first place to urge, those cool officials will inevitably increase the weight of the public fat and private, the people of the troubles are not happy, in this way, it has caused a very bad impact on the army, the people think, it is your army border, so that my family is ruined, of course, I hate the official army to the bone, the magistrate will also resist the supply of the army, the general mind is, your army is crossing the border is to fight for others, why do you want me to supply? In this way, they must be perfunctory and do not pay attention to things, and as a result, the transit army will not be human inside and out. ”

This is the truth, every time a large army crosses the border, it will cause anger and resentment, and it will often provoke civil revolt, and this disadvantage is very huge. So Liu Bei pondered, and Zou Jing sighed.

"Fifth, just like now, the logistics and transportation of grain and grass are large, of course, the action is slow, and the army in order to wait for the grain and grass, can only be carried at the same speed as the baggage every day, and there will be the current situation, stop, the front-line army is urgent, but we are powerless here, don't we delay the big thing?"

Zou Jing suffered greatly and suffered incomparably.

But everyone listened and listened, but found that Lu Peng was gone, and when they looked up, they saw that guy Shi Shiran was drinking, Zou Jing frowned and asked expectantly, "What about the sixth?" ”

Then Lu Peng raised his head, looking very innocent and dazed: "What sixth?" Nope. ”

Everyone fell on the spot, and Zou Jing smashed the remaining bone on the table at that time: "You scoundrel, you're really angry with me." ”

At this time, Liu Bei humbly asked: "Could it be that Mr. can solve all these drawbacks by purchasing them?" ”

Lu Peng said with certainty at the time: "Yes, of course I can." ”

"Let's talk about it."

Lu Peng stretched out five fingers again, "The reason is-" looked at his fingers, and then slowly withdrew two: "There are three." ”

"Which three points."

"First, let Youzhou give us money to buy, so that we don't have to requisition a large number of people to disturb the people, and we can let the people live in peace."

"Makes sense."

"Second, there is almost no cost to escort along the way, so as to prevent people with intentions from getting up and down and reduce greed for ink."

"That's right."

"Third, I think Taishou will also gladly agree, the reason is that we only need the original three layers of grain and grass prices, so that we can save a huge amount of money for the country and Lord Taishou, as for how to deal with the saved costs in the end, it depends on your character, at least you can get a favor from you, right?"

Zou Jing clapped his hands and applauded, yes, save the real seven layers, and those guys in the rear can be greedy for ink with peace of mind, of course, they will not lose their own share, this is the best way, so Zou Jing just-

"Fourth—"

Zou Jing was furious, rushed over directly, and punched and kicked Lu Peng: "I'll kill you who is not right and unreliable." ”
