Chapter 163: No Food

Yes. The streets of the capital are still prosperous, and after Guo Jia said goodbye to Qin Yong, he took Niu Geng to wander around the streets, looking like a son of a family, and he was incompatible with the pedestrians who came and went in a hurry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin Yong, as a figure with a face in Shu, is naturally not suitable to come out with him, that will only expose Guo Jia's identity, since entering Shu, Guo Jiake has never appeared on a formal occasion, in order to be such a transcendent identity, not mixed in, but in control of the overall situation, Guo Jia likes this feeling very much, but at the moment he is walking in Cheng. On the streets of the capital, Guo Jia was not happy.

The prosperity is still the same, but there is a restless atmosphere in the air, the scholars are still scholars, but the people are no longer the people.

"I knew this was the case, this matter should have come to Jia Wenhe." Looking at a person with a yellow face and thin muscles walking by in a hurry, Guo Jia's face was a little gloomy.

Although the plan went smoothly, if he sat in the Qin family's compound and looked at the piles of data, he would naturally not feel anything, but now, when he walked on the street and was immersed in the scene, looking at the people who were gradually depressed and had no livelihood because of his words, that sour feeling made Guo Jia feel that his heart was heavy.

This kind of thing, if Jia Wen and the poisoner were to do it, probably wouldn't have any feelings, right? After all, I can't really be cold-blooded.

"Let's go." After pondering for a moment, Guo Jia turned around and walked straight in the direction of the Qin Mansion.

"Childe, don't you go to Zuixiang Building? You can go once a month, but next month, it won't be this time. Niu Geng looked at Guo Jia unexpectedly, and didn't think much about it, so he shouted out so logically.

Guo Jia's face turned dark, his originally dull mood, and his artistic conception of worrying about the country and the people were instantly destroyed by Niu Geng's words.

"I'm not going." With a black face, after Guo Jia scolded angrily, he couldn't help but walk a little faster under the strange eyes of others.

"What's the fire?" Niu Geng was a little confused by Guo Jia's angry scolding, so he could only follow Guo Jia and go back, wondering in his heart how this gentleman had changed his personality today, and he wanted to put it in the past, and at this moment, he had already rushed to Zuixianglou to find his sister.

Seeing Guo Jia walking away, he could only follow helplessly.

When the two returned to Qin's mansion, they met Qin Yong, who had just returned: "Sir, why is it so early today?" ”

His face softened a little, and he sank again, Guo Jia walked into the house without saying a word, making Qin Yong a little dazed, and glanced at Niu Geng on the side, Qin Yong wondered: "Sir, what's wrong today?" ”

"Who knows?" Niu Geng was more dazed than him, so he could only follow Guo Jia and run inside.

Qin Yong is in a good mood now, although the Qin family's money has been spent a lot during this time, not only the profits earned in Shu Jin before, but even most of the family wealth that Qin Yong has accumulated over the years has been dispersed, but he is still very happy that the grain in Shu has been sent to the hands of the powerful people in Shu by him like this.

According to Qin Yong's understanding of these magnates, it is basically impossible to put such valuable grain in their hands at a low price, and it is basically impossible to take it out at a low price, you must know that the grain itself is also purchased by them at a high price, and then spit it out at a low price, no one wants to, the people are changing, it is only a matter of time, what we have to do now is to control the guidance of public opinion step by step.

It just so happened that he also wanted to ask Guo Jia's advice, so he followed Niu Geng and entered Guo Jia's study together.

"Sir, now the price of grain in Shuzhong has risen to nearly twenty times, according to your instructions, in the next few days, I have been traveling around the family, hoping to reduce some grain prices, so that I can buy to support the imperial court, as Mr. expected, these families not only did not let go, but raised the price of grain by another percent, but in my opinion, this price is already the limit." Qin Yong smiled.

"How's the matter of the township school going?" Guo Jia didn't ask much about this matter.

"There are about 50 stores that have been opened in various places in Shuzhong, and during this time, because of the food matter, the matter of township schools has been temporarily put down, but more than 50 township schools that have been established are still in operation, but most of the students have returned home." Qin Yong smiled bitterly.

After all, now I can't even eat enough, although the fee of the township school is not high, but it is also an expense, in terms of today's situation, ordinary families cannot afford to support, and therefore, these more than 50 hometown schools are basically idle.

Guo Jia silently closed his eyes, and sighed for a long time: "Since this is the case, then simply close it first, do what you want to do, the main purpose at the moment is to make chaos in Shuzhong, so that our army has a reason to send troops, and someone will inform General Hansheng that they are ready to enter Shu at any time." ”

In this world, there is no one thing that is the best of both worlds, if because of the matter of the township, the family is vigilant, which affects the plan, then the planning of the past two years is equivalent to a waste, you must know that what Guo Jia said to Liu Xie at the beginning was not to subdue Yizhou, but to bulldoze the Yizhou family from the root, which is more important, Guo Jia is clear, but what he saw on the street before, made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Whoa!" glanced at Guo Jia suspiciously, and didn't understand why Guo Jia, who was holding Zhizhu on weekdays, was so irritable, not quite like him.

"In addition, into . . Now the strength is not big enough, let's hold it off for a while, but Baishui, Zitong, and Langzhong should be about the same, and you can do it, in addition, the Nanban side, you have to start first, and it is best to instigate the barbarians in Sanjiang City to fight together, to be fast, within half a month, I want Shuzhong to be in flames and reappear in the Yellow Turban Rebellion! Guo Jia didn't know how he said this, but at this moment, he felt really uncomfortable in his heart.

"Whoa!" Sensing a hint of something wrong in Guo Jia's tone, Qin Yong hurriedly bowed and said.

"All go out, I want to be alone and quiet, do my own thing, don't bother!" Guo Jia waved his hand and motioned for Qin Yong and Niu Geng to go out, he needed to brush his thoughts.

It's not that he hasn't seen the disaster, he had personally experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but at that time he saw it from the perspective of a bystander, but when this kind of thing was planned by him, it felt like a different matter.

I set up this plan at the beginning, I think about it at this time, I don't know if it's right or wrong, although it is a good thing for the imperial court, in the long run, although it will temporarily cause disasters everywhere, but after the chaos, there is a great rule, but what I get is a Shuzhong that completely belongs to the imperial court, just say a thousand ways and ten thousand, but the evil in front of him was created by him.

But in any case, the matter has come to this, there is no turning back from the bow, two years of preparation, Hanzhong, Huang Zhong's 50,000 troops waiting, it is impossible to give up because he can't bear it for a while, at this time, Guo Jia can only comfort himself, and at the same time prepare for post-war pacification.

This war must not last long!

Guo Jia, who had made up his mind, began to write instructions one after another, handed them over to the secret guards, and passed the book to the Quartet of Shuzhong one by one.

Langzhong, as the place of Shuzhong soldiers, has always been hoarding 50,000 soldiers and horses, in order to guard against the possible enemies in Zitong, Baishui, and Jiameng at any time, and to reinforce Zitong, Baishui, and Jiameng at any time.

On this day, Zhang Ren was inspecting the barracks, when suddenly a dusty knight Pegasus entered the camp and said loudly from afar: "General Zhang, Jia Mengguan is urgent." ”

"Speak!" Zhang Renyan, who was inspecting the barracks, looked at him and said loudly.

"Whoa!" The knight turned over and dismounted, opened the bamboo paper, and said in a deep voice: "Jiameng Guanguan Captain Lingbao reported, according to the scouts today, a large number of soldiers and horses in Hanzhong have gathered, and their movements are unknown, and they are approaching Baishui and Jiameng, according to the scouts, there are 50,000 thieves, and they are afraid to be invincible, please send troops to help quickly." ”

"Fifty thousand troops!?" Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows when he heard this, Hanzhong is also a big county, and the Hanzhong Plain is also a fertile land with water and soil, but Rao is like this, Zhang Lu has raised an army of 50,000 in such a short period of time, right?

"Have you ever known who the other party's lord will be?" Zhang Ren faintly felt that something was wrong, and asked out loud.

"This ...... It didn't say anything on the letterhead. The knight looked at the bamboo paper carefully, shook his head, and said.

"Fifty thousand troops! I'm afraid it's a big battle, and I ordered Zhuo Ying and Gao Pei to guard the Langzhong camp, and Meng Da and Yang Huai immediately ordered 20,000 troops to help Jia Meng. Zhang Ren thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

In addition to strengthening Baishui and Jiameng Zhuguan, the Langzhong army also has Gong Weicheng. The responsibility of the capital cannot be fulfilled unless it is absolutely necessary.

"General!" After a while, Meng Da, who received the order, hurried over and said to Zhang Ren: "General, at this moment, my army may not be able to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

"Why?" Zhang Ren looked at Meng Da puzzled, frowned and asked.

"Cheng. It has been a month since the grain and grass have been transported, and the grain and grass in the army is no longer enough for our army to use in January, and at this time 20,000 soldiers and horses have been mobilized, and the lieutenant general has no more grain and grass! Meng Da smiled bitterly.

"Then let Fuxian open a warehouse, how can there be no food available?" Zhang Ren felt a little ridiculous, the country of heaven in Shuzhong, money and grain were abundant, and it was the first time he heard that Shuzhong was short of food.

"I have been there a few days ago, and I have been urged again and again, but the Fu County Order refuses to open a warehouse, only saying that there is no food." Meng Da shook his head and said.

"Hateful!" Zhang Ren couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, seeing that the soldiers were approaching the city, but there was no food to adjust, and there were 50,000 troops empty, but they couldn't be mobilized due to lack of food and grass.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ren said in a deep voice: "In this way, first transfer 10,000 soldiers and horses, and order Zhuo Ying and Gao Pei to go to Cheng. Please allocate food as soon as possible! ”

With Jiameng Pass, 10,000 soldiers and horses plus the garrison of Jiameng Pass, it should be able to withstand it for a while, and I only hope that Liu Zhang's grain and grass can be transported as soon as possible.
