The next day, Wen Chou took forty gold cakes, said goodbye to Yan's mother, Chen Ming and his wife, and rushed back to the official temple. These forty gold cakes, according to the current market value, are equivalent to 500,000 yuan.

Wen Chou rode his horse on the official road, and many pedestrians knew each other, and they stopped to say hello, and Wen Chou also talked with a smile. After four months of getting along, all the people in Shahe Township recited the virtue of ugliness, and the whole Shahe Township was also harmonious and sweet. And the corn grain on both sides of the official road has been tasseled, the growth is gratifying, I want to come only a month, must be full of grains, Wen Chou looks at it in his eyes, happy in his heart, thinking that as long as this season's harvest comes down, everything is not afraid. The anxiety and depression due to the shortage of food and grass are also a lot more cheerful.

The distance is not far, Wen Chou soon came to the official temple, and immediately ordered someone to call the king of Xiangzuo, since he has decided to buy food for bleeding, it is naturally as soon as possible.

Now is the critical time for ditch digging, and it is hoped that in ten days and a half months the water will be completed, and then the grain production of the next season will be guaranteed. And this is also the reason why although the villagers have one meal a day, they are also willing to participate in the excavation, because there is hope and hope for a stable life. These ordinary people don't have much demand, and they can have enough food and clothing, but this small requirement is so unattainable in this era of war and chaos and natural disasters. Fortunately, there is Wen Chou, which gives them a hope.

Wang Chong didn't let Wen Chou wait for a long time, Wen Chou had just turned over three or four bamboo slips, and Wang Chong had already walked quickly.

"Wen Jun, what do you have to tell your subordinates?" Wang Chong Gongjin said.

"Oh, Chongzhi, how much food do we have, and how long will it last?" Wen Scandal said, put down the bamboo slips, and didn't say hello, and asked directly.

"From the current point of view, with the daily consumption of 100 stones, it can last until the end of this month." Wang Chong touched his sweat and said.

"Well, late, late, that means there are twenty days of vacancies at the minimum?" Wen Chou whispered and said that he had changed, frowning and saying.

"Well, in fact, if you save a little more, you can survive until the end of the month, but in this way, the soldier's side will be reduced to two meals accordingly." Wang Chong looked at Wen Chou with his eyes and said cautiously.

"No, the soldier's three meals must be of good quality and quantity." Wen Chou said without questioning. In fact, Wen Chou also understands in his heart that the most food consumption in this township is the 800 soldiers, although the number is not large, but Wen Chou treats them well, not only three meals, but also ensures the quality, accounting for about one-third of the grain in Shahe Township, while other displaced people are not, often just a meal of porridge. Even so, Wen Chou was unwilling to give in on this issue, after all, if this group of soldiers had no combat effectiveness, there would be no follow-up development.

After a pause, Wen Chou said again: "Tomorrow I will personally go to Luancheng County to buy a batch of grain, thinking that it will be a backup, and then I will draw out the soldiers of Situn to accompany me, and the affairs of the township will be tired and rush to you." ”

"Is Wen Jun going to buy grain? That's just a lot of good! I will definitely take care of the township. Wang Chong said happily when he heard this.

"If there is any emergency, you can discuss it with Sima Jiang Xuan of the Taolin Army and You Liu Zhong." Wen Chou thought about it and said again. After all, now on the border of Youji, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebels are in full swing, and there are thousands of horsemen led by Wuhuan Qiu Liju, helping to abuse, maybe they will go there to loot. It was Yiwen Chou who had to be carefully arranged.

……

Wen Chou paced in the hall non-stop, sometimes saying a few words to Wang Chongyan, thinking carefully that there was nothing wrong enough, Fang took another forty gold cakes, plus the previous total of eighty gold cakes, and rushed to Taolinsai.

It was a lively time up and down Taolinsai, and the three-month training made these villagers look like soldiers.

Wen Chou came to Taolinsai, looked for Jiang Xuan, Yan Liang and other people, and said: "The granary of Guansi will be empty, and if there is no input, it will be unsustainable, I plan to go to Luancheng County tomorrow to buy some grain." What do you think? ”

"This is the right thing, Wen Jun is worried about the rebellion in Jizhong in recent days." Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and said. The rebellion in the thistle is the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, because the incident happened in the thistle, so it is also called the rebellion in the thistle.

"Exactly, if I go to buy grain, I will inevitably take a group of people with me, and I am afraid that something will go wrong in the township." Wen Chou said bluntly.

"So who does Wen Jun plan to lead to go?" Jiang Xuan asked. As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had their eyes lit up, after all, this was the first opportunity to go out in three months, Yan Liang, Wenba, Dong Jiang and other cadres didn't want to go out to test the training results of the past three months.

Wen Chou swept over the people in the hall and said for a long time: "Mingzhi is my book, and he needs to go with me to handle all the things, food, grass, and clothing." ”

When Chen Ning heard this, he knelt down and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates receive orders." Although this move is in everyone's information, it is also looking at Chen Ning with envy.

"In addition, it is indispensable to bargain with the rich and big, Dong Junnian wants to be active and thoughtful, but he can do this." Wen Chou said again.

Dong Jiang was overjoyed, and said half-kneeling: "My subordinates receive orders." ”

"Ziyong, you can go with me to find out." Wen Chou said again.

"Yes, big brother! Hey. When Wen Ba heard this, he hurriedly came out of the column and said with a smile, feeling the envious eyes of others, and was very proud.

"Gongji, you are on the plug and assist Jinyan to protect Shahe Township!" Wen Chou finally said.

Yan Liang was suddenly overjoyed when he heard his name, and when he heard what he said later, it turned out that he wanted him to stay, and his face suddenly became unhappy. As soon as he was about to speak, he heard Wen Chou say again: "It's not that going to Luancheng with me is a heavy responsibility, staying behind is a light job, if you want me to see it, the person who stays behind has a heavier job, and he has the responsibility of protecting and protecting the entire Shahe Township!" Are you afraid that there is no place for it? When Yan Liang heard this, he hurriedly stopped complaining, but he said reluctantly: "My subordinates take orders." The others also gave assurances, and they were free to do so.

"The people left behind will all obey Jiang Sima's orders! Don't disobey! Wen Chou emphasized again.

……

Then everyone had a discussion, nothing more than how to arm, how to deal with emergencies, and so on, and it stopped in the middle of the night.

"Gongji, come with me to the room." Wen Chou stopped Yan Liangdao, who was still stunned.

"What's the matter, big brother, is there anything else?" Yan Liang asked.

"Don't you want to know how your mother is now?" Wen Chou blamed. But since Wen Chou's return, he has been busy discussing official affairs, and he is still talking about his personal feelings.

When Yan Liang heard that it was about his mother, he immediately said humbly and anxiously: "Brother, how is my mother, is something wrong?" ”

"No, my mother is very good, but in recent days, I heard about the rebellion in Jizhong, and I was a little worried." Wen Chou left the door completely open, and even the window was opened. It's the middle of summer, and the weather is hotter and hotter, even at night.

"Grandma just worries too much! This war, as long as we are here! When Yan Liang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and complained.

"That's what I said to my mother, but you also know my mother's temperament, so it's more or less a response for you to stay here!" Wen Chou looked at the bright moon hanging in the treetops and said.

"Ahh So that's what you think, big brother! Why didn't you say it earlier! Yan Liang didn't expect Wen Chou to arrange for him to stay on the plug, and there was this layer of deep meaning, so he said in surprise.

"Now you're still complaining that I won't let you go to Luancheng County with me, right?" Wen Chou turned around and smiled.

"Big brother, it's the younger brother's fault, hehe, I don't know what the eldest brother means." Yan Liang scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

……

The moon is in the middle of the sky. In order to avoid the heat, Wen Chou and Yan Liang only spread a mat in the room and slept like this.
