Not long after the Chu army took Moling, the weather began to slowly get cooler, there was not much grain in the city, and the fields outside the city were also destroyed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ask yourself, when he promised to jointly raise a big event, his idea was very simple, on one side was siblings, and on the other side was the empire that was about to collapse, what was there to kick more?

But in the face of the people who missed the agricultural time, what are the hundreds of schools, the eternal, and the Great Wall...... All of them were put aside, and people had to live first.

Fortunately, there is still a backing behind him, fortunately, there are still a lot of idle people, looking at more and more ridges, Yu Zhou silently calculated in his heart, according to the normal output, as long as there is no disaster in the coming year, this city can be self-sufficient, as for now, can only survive first.

What is more reassuring is that the people don't need to be appeased at all, they were born in the vast and sparsely populated Jiangnan, what haven't they eaten? Compared with the Central Plains, the food of the Chu people is unique, such as soup fish, winning clams, snail mussels, fish roast, water chestnut, lotus root...... Even the lips of the orangutan (ape), the covenant of the elephant, and the delicacies of the turtle turtle, they have already tasted it.

Taishi Gong once said: The land of Chu Yue, the land is wide and the people are happy, rice and soup fish, or fire cultivation and water rake, fruit Sui clams, do not wait for Jia and are enough, the land is full of food, there is no famine, so there is no accumulation and poverty. It is south of the old Jianghuai, there are no people who are cold and hungry, and there is no home for daughters.

So, these optimistic guys quickly ignored the dilemma of having no food and clothing, and laughed and got busy, just like their ancestors did when they migrated south.

"Huh-

The sun rises, and the sun rests.

Dig wells and drink, plough fields and eat.

What is Dili to me......"

As soon as Chu Ge got up, Yu Zhou also felt that the pressure on his body was relieved a lot, and he was running around the fields, and he even saw a few curious boys who began to disassemble farm tools, and then they were beaten by the adults in the family and squeaked and screamed.

Happiness is contagious, just like having the strength to do everything in my heart, I personally helped the plough and worked for a day, only lamenting that there were too few ploughing cattle and it was difficult for manpower to do it.

The sun is gradually setting, the sunset is broken all over the ground, and the little man who is waiting by the big tree by the field is drowsy, and he has long forgotten to give his husband a smile, and his head is little by little, and the sour plum soup in his arms is about to be spilled.

In this situation, how can Yu Zhou not remind Yu Zhou of the days on the mountain? It's just that when he saw Yan Heng walking quickly, he moved his mind elsewhere.

"How's it going?"

"It's connected, but there are more of them than Yongya said, four or five hundred."

"Why are there so many? A total of two hundred conscripts were conscripted, and many ran and four or five hundred? ”

Yan Heng lowered his head: "They did say so, Kui Mu Wolf returned four or five hundred." ”

Yu Zhou recalled for a moment and asked, "Have you seen Kui Wood Wolf with your own eyes?" ”

"This ...... He said he couldn't be wrong with the smoke. ”

"It's just a trick to increase troops and reduce the number of troops, it seems that the other party can't trust us, this connector is also a thoughtful person, what's his name?"

After following Yu Zhou for a long time, Yan Heng learned a lot of habits, such as saying a sentence repeatedly, and running a carriage with a large gap but not finding a fault: "He said that his name is Lu Ze." ”

Lu Ze? Isn't that Lu Pheasant's brother?

"What does it look like?"

"The high nose bridge and long beard have a bit of a dignified appearance."

"How old?"

"About forty years, or older."

After asking for a long time and getting nothing, Yu Zhou pondered for a while and said: "The road is far away, and it is impossible to transport grain, ask them if they are willing to give up bottles and cans to run." ”

Yan Heng replied: "I guess they don't want to." ”

"Don't you want to be hungry like this? Tell us what you think. ”

"If there were really four or five hundred people, not to mention the difficult journey, how did they survive for so long? It must be a bandit or a thief, how many thieves are willing to go down the mountain after a long time? ”

Yu Zhou nodded in agreement, and then said: "I also think they don't want to come, but the reason is a little different from what you think."

Four or five hundred people, they don't necessarily have them, and asking for so much grain and grass is nothing more than a bargain, and by the way, to see what our army is capable of.

Therefore, it is certain that they will not go down the mountain, but the reason is in other aspects, such as the emperor going out on patrol again, they dare not move, such as whether our army can gain a foothold on them. ”

Yan Heng nodded: "That's true, then let's leave them alone?" ”

"Manage, for the sake of the future, for the sake of Fan Xu's face, this time I have to take care of it to the end, but well, if they insist on not coming, then there is only one way left, leave someone to supervise!"

"Keeping someone to supervise?"

"Yes, pick a few brothers with strict mouths and clean nets, stay with them to help buy food, let's pay for it, let's contribute, it's sincere enough, right?"

Yan Heng wondered, a group of fugitives, with an additional identity as Fan Xu's fellow villager, is it worth it? It doesn't matter if you pay or contribute, you deliberately emphasize that people need to be selected, which is that there are other missions.

Surveillance? Assassinate? Dispatching the group of people under his command is at least this kind of task......

"Okay, I'll let Kui Timber Wolf ask first. By the way, Brother Ji Bu is here, saying that he is looking for you, I want to bring him here, he said that he is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to talk about it when you go back. ”

"I see."

If you really want to talk about it, among the closest people, only Ji Bu is the most like the big brother, but he first got married and then took care of the third uncle, and he walked around the least.

There must be something wrong with coming here this time, right?

While muttering, Yu Zhou remembered a few anecdotes, and said that since Ji Bu heard the words of "a promise of a thousand gold", he has high standards for himself, and he pays attention to every word everywhere.

It's nothing for a while, it's been a long time, and some of the things he said can't even remember himself, and he really suffered a lot in order to practice it, and he also responded to the promise that the execution is sweet and the execution is bitter.

This is nothing, the most important thing, Yu Zhou felt that Ji Bu was a little obsessive-compulsive for this, how to say it, once Ji Bu had a dream and owed someone money, and agreed to pay it back, when he woke up, the guy who was sleeping in a daze had not yet distinguished between dream and reality, hugged the doorpost and lamented again and again, and said that he broke his promise and was not the husband who did it.

Afterward...... finally figured out that it happened in a dream, but he turned out to be fine, and he cried even harder, saying that he didn't even have a chance to pay back the money to make amends......

Zhuang Zhou turned into a butterfly, and Zhuang Zhou turned into a butterfly, with this kind of guy, you can't say that the dream is fake, you can stiffen up to the end if you pick a word, who knows what he will do......

But since then, several of his companions have all respected Ji Bu, and they are careful not to invite him easily.

"Wake up, the sun is setting, let's go home."

When he woke up the villain, Yu Zhou was a little reluctant to destroy the picture, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, his lips and teeth were half open, he was disturbed, and slowly became confused and rubbed his eyes, sucked it up, and his shiny saliva broke in two, and his face turned red in an instant.

"I'm asleep......"

"It's not, if you don't come, you'll follow, what if you get caught in the cold."

"It's okay, I'll go back and drink some ginger soup...... Ah! The sour plum soup is all spilled ......! Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu—"

As soon as the words fell, a cold-faced girl replied: "I don't blame me, I took it away several times when you fell asleep, and finally put it on the ground, not ...... kicked it."

"I don't blame anyone...... It is...... Oh, forget it, is the husband thirsty? ”

Yu Zhou looked at Yan Jiu and said, "I'm not thirsty, I've drunk a lot, just sprinkle a little, let's go back." ”

Xiang Ran nodded lightly when he heard this, looked at everyone present, and pulled Yan Jiu into the deer car, leaving Yu Zhou and Yan Heng to take another car.

……

……

When I saw Ji Bu again, I didn't know what this guy had experienced, and there was a bit of vicissitudes in his expression, with a mustache that was the favorite of the Qin people, and his gestures were quite steady.

Yu Zhou greeted him enthusiastically: "Brother Ji, I haven't seen you for a long time, but are you okay?" ”

Ji Bu smiled at the corners of his mouth: "Okay, of course it's good, I heard that a few of you have made great achievements, I am happier than anything else!" ”

"Hahaha, what about the little nephew at home? Did you pull off the third uncle's beard? ”

Ji Bu showed a look of longing, and replied: "Actually, I didn't stay in the Five Lakes Water Village recently, but traveled with Luan Bu...... Alas, I'll talk about this later, I miss you tightly, no, I just came back, and I heard that you were near the left, and I came. ”

Yu Zhou was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect Ji Bu to actually travel far away, and wanted to ask them about their purpose, but seeing that he really didn't want to say more, he had to keep his mouth shut, and instead ordered the wine and food to catch the wind.

Turning his head, Xiang Ran personally arranged it.

This can make Ji Bu cry bitter in his heart, it is true that he just came back, he came to see Yu Zhou, in fact, he has another purpose, that is, he was entrusted by Xiang Ji to come to explore the situation.

Originally, there was no need for this between brothers, but it was rare for a big man to open his mouth, so could he still agree? Figuring out the doorway inside, the beauty of adults is still within his reach, he thought about it before he came, as long as Xiang Ran is here, it is a living example, and he can open the topic.

I didn't think that the girl was running so fast that she didn't even have a chance to say hello......

"Brother Ji, this city has just been taken not long ago, and the grain and grass are a little poor, if you slack off later, you can write it down tenfold, and the younger brother will personally cook and make amends in the future."

Ji Bu smiled and waved his hand: "Where is this, is Ji a greedy person?" I came here for an important event. ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"That's right, a few days ago, some businessmen found Fan Lao and wanted to buy some ballistas, Fan Lao meant to ask you first, after all, it was restructured by you and the Mo family."

Yu Zhou frowned: "Merchant? ”

"Yes, if you dress up as a businessman, you claim to be a businessman."

Yu Zhou smiled, this is a bit interesting, it seems that no one believes that they are businessmen, but they just tacitly understand.

That's right, for the empire of Great Qin, the Qin crossbow is equivalent to a standard gun, and the ballista is at least the level of a bazooka or even a missile, the first emperor began to sell the world's soldiers to cast twelve gold men in order to prevent rebellion, can it accommodate merchants dragging crossbow carts all over the street?

Self-defense, you say? Are you kidding! Which merchant used a ballista? Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei didn't do this back then......

Can use Daqin's contraband, at least he is a restless guy in his bones, out of the consideration that "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", he can consider selling one or two, but looking back, it should be not only friends who are interested in his own crossbow, but also enemies.

For example, Xiang Liye and others, such as Da Chu's future opponents......

"What did Tian Juzi say?"

"I haven't asked yet, but Fan Lao said that he has a way to persuade Tian Lao, so I'll ask you first."

Can you convince Qi Mojuzi, who has the heart to "stop the war"? It seems that there are some internal reasons that I don't know.

"Can you tell me who the buyer is? Or can you find out who they are? ”

"I don't know ...... this"

Yu Zhoufu asked: "Then how much did they bid?" ”

"Thirty thousand dollars for a ballista."

Yu Zhou muttered: "That's not as valuable as my head, it's five hundred gold." ”

Ji Bu smiled: "Look at what you said, it seems that you lack all that money and dare to chop off your head." ”

"I don't dare, but the price of 30,000 yuan seems to be very high, but it is actually low."

"And how much do you say?"

"A thousand stones of grain and grass, ask them if they want to buy it?"

Ji Bu frowned and calculated: "Isn't this still the same, 30,000 yuan can buy a thousand stones of grain and grass......"

"It's very different, you know, our foundation is still very thin, many fields are only visible for labor, and there is very little grain in stock.

Besides, the Qin people regard me as a thief, how can they be willing to sell grain? Daqin rice grain is indeed three dollars a bucket, but in our hands, it is six dollars a bucket, or even ten dollars! In this way, can it still be the same? ”

Ji Bu frowned and said, "It's me Meng Lang, so that's the case...... Okay, then I'll go back and bring your words to Fan Lao, as for whether the buyer is willing to ...... I'll take care of him. ”

Yu Zhou picked up the wine and poured it full: "Brother Lao Ji has worked hard, remember that there is one more thing not to be left behind." ”

"What?"

"The ballista that is going to be sold must be dismantled and eccentric, otherwise the price will not be sold even if the price is ten times higher."

"It's ...... Revert to the way it was before the restructuring? ”

"Exactly."

Ji Bu put down the wine: "If this is really the case, I am worried that the other party will not buy it." ”

Yu Zhou sneered: "Then this person has a bad heart, and there is nothing wrong with killing him!" ”

Ji Bu was taken aback, the business is not benevolent, why is it shouting and killing? What is the difference between acting like that and being a bandit or a bandit?

"The child period must not be so ......"

"The ballista is a weapon, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to see it, yes or no?"

"Yes......"

"The ballista before the restructuring is enough to match the Great Qin ballista, yes or no?"

"That's true, but who doesn't want better......"

"That's the problem, the reformed ballista can already match our army, what are they going to do? Is it really against Daqin? Or does it turn its head and fall on us?

I don't believe that the father and the son can't figure it out, and I don't believe that they allowed the threat to go out......

Now tell me, who the hell is buying the ballista? How can you convince these two elders? ”

"Yes...... Qin Mo. ”

The majesty of Big Brother Ji Bu is indeed good, but in terms of the way of tongue, he is far worse than Yu Zhou, and he counted it clearly, not to say that it can't be done.

"Qin ...... Ink?! Are you saying that Ya Father, Zifang, and Tian Juzi all agreed to sell the ballista to Qin Mo?! Our enemy, Xiang Liye?! ”

Ji Bu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't get excited, it's not Xiangliye, it's another group of people, I can't say it, just like Tian Lao and them, a group that advocates non-aggression like them......"

"That's also Qin Mo! How can you not ventilate with Xiangliye? How did they agree? How many businesses do we have! How can there be room for favors! ”

"You're mistaken...... In fact, the previous Quyuan plough waterwheel has been sold, and the grain and grass allocated to you come from here......"

Yu Zhouhao didn't spit out a mouthful of blood, and was almost angry to death!

What the hell is this, it's one thing to give those farm tools to the people, selling them to Qin Mo, no matter how high the price is, in essence, it's another problem!

He didn't care how much money and food he had, even if Qin Mo got it for free from the people, it would be a hundred times stronger than now! What is this? Have you been co-played? Or Fan Zeng?

The previous prank can be seen as a joke, why is there no sense of secrecy in military affairs, and it is not cautious at all?!

Seeing his expression, Ji Bu knew that he had misunderstood again, and regretted not being at the beginning...... Another topic didn't dare to mention, so he hurriedly hugged Yu Zhou's arm and persuaded: "Ziqi, is it because my brother has lost his words, the young general will come in a few days, and they will go together in the otax, so let him explain it himself......"

Yu Zhou gritted his teeth and let out a sigh: "Okay! ”
