Pingxing City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Early this morning, after Luo Yi got up, he received news from Zhang Wancheng, Secretary of the Interior, that he received an order from Jincheng Zhou Gandang last night, asking Longxi to hand over 50,000 quintals of military rations.

Zhang Wancheng didn't dare to make his own decisions about this kind of thing, although there was stock in the warehouse, he didn't dare to give it to Jincheng directly. Therefore, he gave this problem to Luo Yi.

When Luo Yi got the news, he couldn't cry or laugh: "Gandang this week, I'm too anxious, not only 50,000 loads of grain, but also urging three trips in two months." ”

He got up and washed, then took Pan Long and went to the Department of Internal Affairs unhurriedly.

"Lord, are you giving these 50,000 loads of grain? Or don't you give it? ”

"Give, of course."

When he came to the lobby of the Department of Internal Affairs, Zhang Wancheng asked with a bitter face, Luo Yi immediately agreed, give!

Luo Yi asked: "Now that the treasury is serious, how much grain is left?" ”

Zhang Wancheng almost didn't even think about it, and said: "There are still 130,000 quintals, if we allocate 50,000 quintals of military rations, I'm afraid we won't be able to help until next autumn's harvest." ”

"Hehe, don't worry."

Luo Yi's face was full of lightness, and he didn't take the matter of food to heart at all, and said: "He wants 50,000 quintals, give it to him, you can give an order now, allocate 50,000 quintals of military rations, and the local government will be responsible for escorting it to Surabaya Lake." ”

"Yes."

Even Luo Yi wasn't worried, so what else was Zhang Wancheng worried about, he immediately agreed.

Return to the county warden's house.

Luo Yi immediately entered his own small world.

Recall that since he left Chang'an, except for taking food, he has never been in, and all the operations in the small world are completed by the bronze man himself, every other month, or half a month, he just goes in and sets it up.

Today's small world is very perfect, and it can be said that it is not much different from the real world, except for the small points.

Luo Yi went to the expanded shed and took a look, there were five warehouses inside, all of which were full, and it was roughly estimated that if it was taken out, it should be no less than 100,000 quintals!

This amount, for the little Longxi, is already a very guest official, and the small world will continue to produce food, Luo Yi doesn't have to worry about this at all.

After reading it, Luo Yi was completely relieved.

However, now there is no food in the shed, and looking at the world, it is the harvest season again.

He returned to reality and went straight to the warehouse where the grain was stored.

Longxi granary, a total of more than a dozen, important towns, but where there are more soldiers and horses, are built, but in Pingxing City, there is only one.

He and Pan Long came to the outside of the warehouse, greeted the people guarding the warehouse, and Luo Yi prepared to go in.

However, just as he was about to enter the warehouse, he suddenly thought that it was really good for 100,000 loads of military rations to appear directly like this, and would it arouse suspicion?

The grain in the granary, whether it is in or out, must be registered, and the details must be clearly written, and if it suddenly increases but is not accounted for, will it not harm the registered people? Haven't you been directly beheaded by the Home Office?

After thinking about it clearly, Luo Yi felt that it was immoral to do so.

So, he left here again, and asked Pan Long to take 3,000 personal soldiers to the outskirts of Pingxing with him, but there was no way to know what he was going to do.

When Pan Long asked, Luo Yi said that he was going to transport grain, and there were 100,000 loads of grain in the suburbs of Pingxing.

Pan Long didn't understand these either, and he didn't care much, he just asked casually, so he didn't suspect it, and took the soldiers and followed Luo Yi to the eastern suburbs of Pingxing, a small hillside that was not very conspicuous.

Luo Yi asked everyone to stand by at the bottom of the mountain, he went up the mountain alone to check, and Pan Longyu followed, but Luo Yi refused.

Luo Yi went up the mountain alone, found a relatively secret place, and then released all the 100,000 loads of military rations. The grain has been packed in bags in the small world, and when it is taken out, it is naturally packed in the bag, so that it will not be dirty.

After doing this, he hurriedly went down the hill and went to inform Pan Long and lead people up the mountain to transport grain.

When the 3,000 people came to the mountain, they saw bags piled up in a mountain col, and the people who watched were dazzled, and even Pan Long was very puzzled, when did these grains exist.

"It's... Lord, this is from the sky, right? ”

Pan Long was taken aback.

He went to the four major families a few days ago to get food, which was tens of thousands, but it was not as much as what he was looking for, and these were enough for them to eat in the snow for several years.

Luo Yi smiled and said nothing, he didn't respond to his words, and said in his heart, just think of it as falling from the sky.

Three thousand soldiers, under the leadership of Pan Long, began to transport grain and moved 100,000 loads of military ration down the mountain.

Pan Long found someone to get a carriage, and then put 100,000 quintals on the carriage...

When it was nearly dark, everyone finished their work and carried 100,000 loads of military rations into Pingxing City.

This scene, I saw a lot of people along the way, but there were very few discussions, the government transported grain, in the eyes of Baixin, this is a very normal thing, in their minds, of course, the government has more grain, and it is not normal to transport a cart of food.

However, when it was delivered to the warehouse, it startled the soldiers guarding the warehouse, as well as the registered officer, but they had no right to intervene and were not qualified to ask.

It wasn't until two days later that Zhang Wancheng was in a hurry, and he came to Luo Yi very suspiciously and asked Luo Yi, why did 100,000 loads of military rations suddenly appear, did it fall from the sky?

He is the foreman of the Department of the Interior, and he knows the situation in Longxi well, he knows that there is no food in Longxi, even if all the grain from all over the country is collected, it will definitely be less than 100,000 loads!

Therefore, he had no way to explain this batch of grain, and he couldn't figure out how it appeared.

"You have to know? Knowing more might not do you any good.... There are some things that you just see, just like the people, and they won't say anything. ”

Luo Yi's words are sharpened, and they seem to have the meaning of a threat and warning.

Zhang Wancheng heard this and broke out in a cold sweat.

Luo Yi didn't want to say it, he hesitated for a while, and finally dispelled this idea, since he didn't want to say it, then don't ask, as Luo Yi said, knowing too much is not good. Besides, everything in the world can be understood.

This matter, back and forth, in the end, there was no result, no end, but the grain in the Pingxing warehouse has really increased, a full 100,000 loads, which makes Zhang Wancheng puzzled at the same time, he is also very happy for a while, in the future, he will no longer have to worry about food, and he can help more victims.

***********

Changan.

In the imperial study, Li Shimin looked at the reports of defeat in his hand, and his face turned black.

The defeat report is all from the south of the Yangtze River, the army of Aguduo, after entering the south of the Yangtze River, is completely invincible, the officers and soldiers around the country are defeated in a battle, there is no strength to resist at all, so far, almost twenty cities have been lost, and even Yangzhou has fallen into the hands of Aguduo.

What is even more worrying is that there are not many garrisons in Jiangnan, and according to this state of affairs, it will not be long before the entire Jiangnan will be Zhou Gandang.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt worried.

"Uncle Huang, why haven't you come yet?"

"Huang Shang, Master Li has arrived, waiting outside the door."

"What are you waiting for, let him come in quickly."

"Yes."

The little eunuch raised his voice and shouted loudly: "The emperor has a decree, and the emperor's uncle will meet you." ”

Li Zhenzong hurriedly came to the imperial study and bowed: "Sinner Li Zhenzong, see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Just half a month ago, Li Shimin passed a decree to exempt his uncle Li Zhenzong from all his sins, and immediately went to Chang'an to see him, so Li Zhenzong, who was originally serving a sentence in Sleepy Yang City, was released in advance.

If it weren't for the rebellion of King Xiliang this time, and Li Shimin had no one available, it is estimated that I don't know when he would be free.

Li Shimin stood up, stepped forward to help Li Zhenzong up, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang is exempt." ”

Looking at Li Zhenzong carefully, Li Shimin sighed: "Uncle Huang seems to be a little older than last year, and he has suffered a lot in prison, right?" ”

"This is all deserved by the sinners....

Li Zhenzong lowered his head and said.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Let's not talk about the past, but now that the enemy is now, we should share the same enemy." ”

"You should have heard about Xiliang's rebellion again, I want to hear your opinion, how should I meet the enemy in Datang?"

Don't look at Li Zhenzong's unscrupulous intentions, but in fact, in terms of fighting, and major rights and wrongs, he is very insightful and methodical, which is also what Li Shimin values him, otherwise, he would not let him go.

Li Zhenzong stroked a small handful of beard under his forehead, thought about it, and said: "Back to the emperor, the Xiliang rebels are only three or four hundred thousand, compared with my Tang Dynasty, the difference is too far, so there is no need to worry. ”

"Oh?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Then I want to listen, how can the Xiliang rebels not worry?" ”

Li Zhenzong said: "At present, what the emperor is worried about is the Jiangnan rebels, and as for Xiliang, you don't need to think about it. And I, Jiangnan, have few major generals and few soldiers, and I am not the opponent of the Xiliang rebels, so the best way is to increase troops to Jiangnan. ”

"The minister suggested that the strategy should be appropriately changed, so that Lu Guogong led an army of 100,000 to return, and Qin Huaiyu was ordered to guard the western frontier to prevent the Xiliang army from invading our land, and then, let Lu Guogong, Xu Maogong, etc., take command for the second time, and go to Jiangnan to meet Aguduo, and they will definitely win."

Li Zhenzong's idea is very simple, that is, Xiliang should change from offensive to defensive, mainly to fight the Jiangnan rebels, as long as Jiangnan is pacified, Xiliang is not to be afraid.

But Li Shimin took the case and said: "No, I don't agree, I vow to set foot in Xiliang, I have long told Lu Guogong, Xu Maogong and others that I will not return to Xiliang." ”

"I don't believe in the Jiangnan rebels, and without Lu Guogong and others, I can't be pacified."

Li Zhenzong said: "Then there is only one way..." ”

"What way."

He said: "The minister has just been to the military department, and learned that the soldiers from all over the country were drawn out as early as last year, and there is not much left, and if the army of Zhengxi is not withdrawn, it will definitely not be able to meet the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't the Xiliang Army known as the invincible iron cavalry, then let's fight violence with violence, so that the Xiliang people can also see the power of the Northern Desert Iron Cavalry! ”
