Chapter 475: Food in Hand
Early the next morning, Song Ming sent 5,000 stone of grain as promised, and one cart after another of the grain was sent to the camp tent of the garrison outside the city.
Soon, five thousand stone of grain was piled up in the camp to form a small mountain.
That's a month's worth of food for an army of 10,000 people!
In the end, the existing camp could not hold so much food, so Chen Fei had to let the soldiers expand the camp, so that all the food could be piled up. A thousand stones of grain were divided into one pile, and it was divided into five piles, each of which was a hill. The soldiers around him were amazed, and they didn't understand what Chen Fei was doing with so much food at once.
"Ah Fei, you really have it, you said that you got food, the fuck really got so much food, my good girl, five thousand stone of grain! This is just a military salary for a month or two, right? We're going to send it! Cheng Chumo stood in front of the grain and kept gesturing, dancing happily.
Chen Fei smiled, but he still corrected Cheng Chumo's mistake very seriously.
"Brother Chu Mo, our food is for refugees, not for ourselves."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes! This is food for refugees, don't worry, I will send someone to guard it, if any blind bastard plans to steal chickens and dogs, Lao Tzu will break his dog's legs! β
"Ahem. Brother Chu Mo, let's not be so violent, there is no need to break a leg, it's okay to lock people up and starve for three days, don't keep beating and killing, it's not good. β
Cheng Chumo rolled his eyes, unimpressed by Chen Fei's statement.
"By the way, Ah Fei, how did you get so much food? That Song Ming doesn't look like such a cheerful person, he will give you five thousand stone of grain so obediently? Qin Huaidao asked in doubt on the side.
He was very curious about what magical means Chen Fei used to make Song Ming obediently hand over the grain.
Chen Fei smiled slightly, his face full of pride. "Not only did I ask him to hand over the grain, but I also asked someone to follow them and find another place where they were hiding food."
"Wow! Awesome! You're really my big brother! Tell me how you did it. Cheng Chumo patted Chen Fei's shoulder hard, and his expression was written with two words: worship!
If it weren't for the age difference between the two by several years, I believe Cheng Chumo wouldn't mind calling Chen Fei a big brother.
Brother Chen's face was proud, but he pretended to cough deeply: "Ahem!" Actually, this thing... It's simple, I signed it, and he sent the food? β
"Signed a name in exchange for 5,000 stone of grain?" Cheng Chumo was so excited that he almost bit his tongue off. What's wrong with this world? Just a signature, so valuable?
"That's right, a signature, plus a few words, and a proper five thousand stone of grain in hand."
"A few words? A few words? Qin Huaidao asked with interest. He found that Chen Fei still had a lot to learn from him, not to mention anything else, just his ability to be an empty-handed white wolf was worth learning from him.
Now Qin Huaidao has also inherited the title of his father, and if he wants to make the family business bigger, he must learn some means, such as Chen Fei.
"This... In fact, it was very simple, that is, I promised him to help him hide the truth about Luzhou, and the price was that he helped me prepare 5,000 stone of grain. Then the two of them signed separately, and it was as simple as that. β
"Holy!" Qin Huaidao was startled, took a step back, and looked at him as if he didn't know Chen Fei: "Ah Fei? Do you play really? Are you really going to help him hide the truth? For five thousand stone grain? You are crazy? β
Cheng Chumo was also shocked, took a big step back like Qin Huaidao, kept his distance from Chen Fei, and nodded approvingly, looking at Chen Fei like a madman.
Chen Fei spread his hands helplessly, "Do you two want to be so nervous?" It's just a sign, and I didn't say I had to take it seriously. β
"Isn't it true to sign and draw?" Cheng Chumo felt that his three views were gradually collapsing, relatively speaking, they were still very trustworthy, since they signed and pledged, they had to fulfill it.
Chen Fei didn't care about the stall hand, which was nothing to him who was used to seeing deception in later generations.
"Do you want to take it seriously? You're naΓ―ve, aren't you? Am I such a stupid person? 5,000 stone of grain? Lao Tzu is not rare! β
Cheng Chumo .......
Qin Huaidao.......
"Let's be silent for Song Ming for three minutes, right?"
"Good ......."
"Ah Fei, the food is in place, what are you going to do next?"
Qin Huaidao's words can be said to be on point, Chen Fei patted his thigh and smiled: "You asked this question well!" Very simple! Send people to visit village by village! Send food to the door, take care of the brothers, you must be polite when you see the people, you must no longer discredit the court, the people of Luzhou have almost no sense of trust in the court, we can no longer destroy our image! By the way, you also have to guard against possible accidents, so go to more people and don't be robbed! β
"So... Is it feasible? Cheng Yanjin scratched his head and wondered.
Chen Fei was very honest and spread his hands: "Not necessarily, but we don't have a better way now." And by fighting the rebels before, we have already made a war with the people of this land. If we don't come up with some practical benefits, I'm afraid no one will believe us. β
"I think what Ah Fei said makes sense, you can give it a try." Qin Huaidao agreed with Chen Fei's words, while Cheng Chumo lowered his head and laughed, because he took the lead in killing the battle with the rebels.
"Brother Chu Mo, don't blame yourself too much, strictly speaking, these rebels can be regarded as real rebels, after all, they have cut down the officials of the imperial court, and they have to pay a certain price for their words and deeds. So it's not wrong to kill the rebels, not to mention that you helped me save this arm of mine. β
Cheng Chu scratched his head honestly: "Okay!" Since you say that, I won't be sad, I'll try to be as cautious as possible in the future. β
"Be cautious, by the way, the people who were sent out to follow the trails of the rebels have returned? It's been two days since the incident, so there should be some news, right? And Huaidao, how did I ask you to go to the Luzhou City Army to investigate? Can you have eyebrows? β
"The people who went after the rebels haven't come back yet, but there are some eyebrows about what you asked me to investigate."
"Oh? What's the news? Chen Fei immediately became a little interested.
"The identity of the person who put the cold arrow has been verified, although the identity has been verified, but the other party is already a corpse, and there is no useful information to be found." Qin Huaidao shook his head and sighed, that person had already become a dead corpse, where could he get useful information? He was also at a loss for what he could do.
"Whose subordinate was this man before?"
"One of the lieutenants of the defenders has no wife at home, only an elderly father."
"Good! Let's go visit the lieutenant first! β
