Chapter XXVIII

It took two days for Fei Yan to transport grain from the Minjiang River, and when the ship arrived at the West Gate, Li Hongtong got the news early and sent someone to inform Li Hongyi. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info at the West Gate Water Gate, when all the ships stopped, the Fuzhou army was ready to fight, and did not dare to slack off.

Li Hongtong stood at the head of the city, looking at the boats outside the water gate, and kept pacing. Although he knew that Fei Yan came with food, but now that it is an extraordinary period, Li Hongtong does not dare to be careless.

Fei Yan walked out of the largest ship, saw Li Hongtong, arched his hand, and said, "General Li." ”

Li Hongtong smiled and said, "Brother Fei, are you here?" ”

Fei Yan nodded, glanced at the closed water gate, if the water gate was not opened, he would not be able to enter the city, but since Li Hongtong was like this, it proved that he had doubts, Fei Yan did not urge him, and ordered all the ships to anchor and stop, waiting for Li Hongtong to open the water gate, but looking at Li Hongtong's appearance, it seemed that it would not be counted until Li Hongyi came.

Li Hongyi came quickly, food is a big problem, he **** cares, Fei Yan not only brings food, but also the owner of the money, if he sells grain in Fuzhou City, the government will be able to get taxes, and if there is a Fei Yan, there will be more Fei Yan, Li Hongyi is naturally welcome.

Li Hongyi climbed the city wall, took a closer look at the outside, and saw that there were at least more than 20 ships, but limited to the width and water level of the Min River, these ships were not large, and the preliminary estimate was that these 20 or so ships only had 100,000 stone of grain at most. Li Hongyi glanced around and saw Fei Yan move a chair and sit on the deck, looking very leisurely.

Li Hongyi smiled, waved his hand, and motioned for the soldiers to open the water gate.

After the water gate opened, Fei Yan sat down and slowly sailed in the largest boat, stopped at the edge of the pier, and lowered the sampan. Fei Yan slowly stood up and got off the boat.

Li Hongyi laughed, greeted him, and said, "Brother Fei is really on time." ”

"This is nature." Fei Yan smiled, turned around and pointed to the ship, and said, "Li Jiedu, please also inspect the goods." ”

Li Hongyi smiled slightly, and did not get on Fei Yan's boat, but looked around, picked one of the boats, and ran straight over. Li Hongtong followed behind him, along with a dozen soldiers. Fei Yan walked over slowly.

The boatman on the boat was startled when he saw so many people suddenly running up, and the leader was fierce and carrying a knife in his hand, and they all avoided it, and their bodies trembled, and they didn't know what was going on.

Li Hongyi glanced around, grabbed a boatman casually, and asked, "Where is the cabin?" ”

"Boat, cabin......" The boatman shook the rope, stretched out his hand, pointed to the rear, but could not speak.

Li Hongyi shook him off, strode forward, and when he arrived at the cabin, he saw countless sacks piled up inside, Li Hongyi had great strength, and after running up, he threw away two sacks, drew his knife and stabbed him. Baihuahua's rice flowed out, Li Hongyi didn't look closely, continued to run forward, grabbed a few more sacks casually, drew a knife and stabbed it hard, and it was still Baihuahua's rice flowing out.

Fei Yan looked at Li Hongyi unhurriedly, not surprised at all.

Li Hongyi stabbed a few sacks on this ship, ran to other boats, stabbed a few times, ran five boats, cut more than 20 sacks, and confirmed that what was contained in them were all white flowers, and then he was relieved.

Fei Yan slowly paced over and said with a smile: "Li Jiedu, how is it?" ”

Li Hongyi didn't care, smiled, and said, "It's all white rice, it's very good." ”

Fei Yan waved his hand and said, "Come on, send all this grain to the granary." ”

Li Hongyi smiled and said, "Brother Fei, I won't bother you about this matter, come, let's drink." ”

Li Hongyi said, walked forward with a smile, took Fei Yan's hand, and walked under the boat, carrying the sack, naturally Li Hongtong. Li Hongtong soon called in more than 500 soldiers to carry the sacks.

Fei Yan and Li Hongyi talked affectionately while walking.

Li Hongyi smiled and said, "Brother Fei has helped a lot this time, so naturally I won't treat Brother Fei badly." ”

"Li Jiedu is very polite, and I am just a subordinate, born and died for the master." Fei Yan sighed and shook his head.

Li Hongyi narrowed his eyes, looked at Fei Yan, and suddenly asked, "So, there is someone behind you?" ”

Fei Yan groaned slightly, mysteriously approached Li Hongyi, and said in a low voice: "I can't hide it, my master is the emperor of Shu, so ......" Fei Yan's words were not finished, but these words already represent too many things.

Li Hongyi narrowed his eyes, in the past two days, he sent Li Hongtong to inquire about Fei Yan's news. The news that Li Hongtong got from the merchants of Fuzhou City was enough to prove that Fei Yan was a subordinate, and there were other people behind him, who were said to be the younger brother of Meng Chang's concubine Lady Hua Rui of Shu Kingdom. However, these businessmen have only heard of Fei Yan's name, and have not seen what Fei Yan looks like. With this information, plus the rice and grain on the ship, Li Hongyi had a lot less doubts in his heart at the moment.

The two of them, under the escort of the guards, walked towards the Rifle Inn, still drinking, but this time they didn't drink much, and after they were full of wine and food, the two paced to the edge of the dock again. Thanks to Li Hongtong's efforts, about half of the sacks have been moved to the shore, which can be described as a mountain.

The first batch of grain shipped by Fei Yan was only about 100,000 stones, which was far from enough for Li Hongyi's needs, but Li Hongyi couldn't eat the 300,000 stone grain brought by Fei Yan in one go, and his plan was to buy 200,000 stone first, and let Fei Yan sell the remaining 100,000 stone grain. In this way, Li Hongyi will not have to take money out of his pocket, and he will be able to let the people eat grain -- of course, whether food is expensive or not has nothing to do with him.

Fei Yan and Li Hongyi looked at the busy soldiers while talking. Fei Yan's plan is to send grain in batches, and tomorrow night, he can send another 100,000 stone of grain. As for the remaining 100,000 stone of grain, it will not be delivered until the day after tomorrow. The last 100,000 stone of grain was sold by Fei Yan, and Li Hongyi had already let people vacate the storefront, and after simply cleaning it up, it could be used.

This result is acceptable for both parties. The two chatted for a while, until the sun was about to set, and all the food in the window was carried ashore.

Li Hongtong asked people to open the water gate and sent Fei Yan away. 100,000 stone of grain piled up on the wharf like a hill, almost crushing the wharf, Li Hongyi asked people to transport grain to the granary, and at the same time transferred 500 armor soldiers to guard the grain. He knew that it was impossible for all of the grain to be delivered to the granary tonight, so he needed to be guarded.

This night, Li Hongyi did not go to rest until the end of the day, watched the soldiers transport about 20,000 stone of grain to the granary, and told him a thousand times, and then went back to rest.

Maybe it was because he stayed up too long, and the weather was cold, and the next day at 10 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Hongyi woke up, feeling very tired, and when he reached out to touch it, his hands were actually a little hot. Li Hongyi wanted to persevere, but in a strong person, he was sick and still couldn't stand it, Li Hongyi persisted for two hours, his mind was still groggy, and he had to call his younger brother Li Hongtong and ask him to ask for a doctor.

The doctor came, and after being busy, he said that Li Hongyi was suffering from the cold and had a high fever, prescribed some medicine, and asked people to decoct the medicine.

Li Hongtong was busy, the sun was already setting in the west, calculating the time, Fei Yan should be here, the matter of food was very important, Li Hongtong ordered his subordinates to take good care of his brother, and no one could go to see his brother without his order. After giving the order, he led the soldiers towards the west gate.

Li Hongtong arrived at the West Gate, and after waiting for about half an hour, Fei Yan arrived, and he was relieved that the boats that had lined up made him breathe a sigh of relief, and this time the grain was delivered, and the matter came to an end. While making Li Hongtong happy, he was a little worried. After all, so much grain cannot be transported back to the granary in a short time. Yesterday's 100,000 stone of grain, and about 10,000 grain were placed on the dock. These 100,000 stone grain will be shipped again, and I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver it tomorrow.

It is necessary to take strict precautions, otherwise those Diao people in Fuzhou City may pay attention to the food, Li Hongtong thought, Fei Yan led the ship into the city, Li Hongtong asked people to close the water gate and order the soldiers to unload.

Fei Yan smiled, walked up, and after saluting Li Hongtong, he asked, "General Li, I am relieved that the food is delivered today." ”

Li Hongtong was worried about his brother's illness, waved his hand absentmindedly, and looked around, with yesterday's experience, Li Hongtong trusted Fei Yan a little more. However, when someone passed by him, he randomly checked a dozen sacks, all of which were filled with grain. Li Hongtong was quite satisfied with this.

Although Li Hongtong had a smile on his face, there was a faint sorrow between his eyebrows, Fei Yan was a businessman, since he was good at observing words and feelings, he saw Li Hongtong's worries, so he asked: "General Li, the villain is worried when he sees you, but what's the matter?" You might as well say it, maybe the villain can solve the problem for you. ”

Li Hongtong hesitated slightly, and then said: "Things are also strange, my eldest brother has always been healthy, and yesterday in order to transport food, he stayed for a while, but he didn't expect to get sick." ”

Fei Yan was stunned for a moment and said: "Li Jiedu has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, although he is brave. But the battlefield has no eyes, I think I have been injured, now the weather is cold, it is very susceptible to cold, recuperation for a period of time, it will definitely recover. ”

Li Hongtong smiled bitterly, thinking that the doctor had examined it, and since it was an illness, he could only recuperate. Immediately thanked Fei Yan, inspected for a while, and checked more than a dozen sacks, and then gradually felt at ease. By the time he finished moving the sacks on the ship, it was already the middle of the moon, and Li Hongtong felt very tired.

After eating in a hurry, Li Hongtong asked people to take care of the grain at the dock, and returned to the Jiedu Embassy's mansion, it was already the end of the ugly time, Li Hongtong hurriedly washed, and then lay on the bed to sleep. As for Fei Yan, it was already dark and the ship was inconvenient to walk, so he stayed in Fuzhou City, and the ship was moored at the wharf, and the nearly 200 people brought with him were resting on the ship.
