When Li Chongjiu came out of Xue's mansion, he saw Eto, Ying Hefu, Yan Yelie and Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche confronting each other, and the two sides pressed their knives, as if they were going to fight. Until they saw Li Chongjiu leave the house, they were all relieved.
Xue Wanshu saw that Li Chongjiu had the key, and he also showed a thoughtful look at the moment. Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche held the walking lance, but their faces were full of resentment.
Li Chongjiu was at the door at the moment, stood still and said to Xue Wan: "Xue Gong is very respectful, I admire him very much, in Jixian County, Xue Gongzi can come directly to my house to find me if he has anything, and Li will inevitably sweep away the marquis." ”
Xue Wanshu said when he heard this: "I don't dare to chatter, but I still thank Li Yuanjun for his thoughts." ”
Seeing the Xue family's rejection of people thousands of miles away, Li Chongjiu nodded, didn't say much, got on his horse directly, and led all the sergeants to the arsenal.
In the arsenal, Su Su also obtained the key from the county lieutenant, and it didn't take too much trouble. At the moment, the arsenal order combined the three keys and opened the door of the arsenal.
But in the warehouse, the armor was neatly draped on the armor bed, and it was everywhere, and as for the staff, it was piled up, and the sharp wolf's teeth and arrows were tied up one by one and piled up on the ground at will, full of them. The generals who followed Li Chongjiu into the room couldn't help but look dumbfounded.
"Rich! Get rich! Ha ha! ”
"Lao Tzu is a nouveau riche this time."
"I'm going to stay here tonight and not leave, sleeping with my armor in my arms, haha!"
"With so many armor, how many people and horses can be equipped, it's really comfortable."
"That's right, so you won't suffer a loss against the Youzhou Iron Cavalry again."
Eto, Yan Yelie and the others were almost about to look up to the sky and roar, and immediately reached out to the armor and stroked it, with an expression of love on their faces.
Li Chongjiu nodded, and immediately asked the arsenal to come forward and said, "Hasn't this arsenal been opened?" ”
The arsenal order replied: "Hui Yu envoy, back then, the Son of Heaven, bah, was a faint king, and he was supposed to open the arsenal for the third expedition to Liao, but the army failed to gather, and the Son of Heaven withdrew the conquest." Therefore, since the second expedition to Liao, this arsenal has never been opened. Even when Duke Xue and General Li were in Zhuo County, they did not get the edict of the Son of Heaven, and they did not use a single penny. Therefore, the arsenal has been closed. ”
Li Chongjiu nodded, Xue Shixiong, and Li Jing were both loyal ministers of the Great Sui and were very incorruptible.
After Li Chongjiu listened to the arsenal order one by one, he realized that the number of staff in the arsenal far exceeded his expectations, and that the arsenal was prepared by the Great Sui for the conquest of Liao, and the national strength of the entire Great Sui was gathered. Originally, Li Chongjiu estimated that the Zhuojun arsenal could be equipped with 10,000 horses, but now it seems that this is far underestimated, and according to the arsenal order, 30,000 soldiers can afford to equip it.
In other words, Li Chongjiu is a county above the valley, and the barren property, even if the craftsman workshop works hard, even if it is fifty years, it will not be able to produce so many soldiers. It's a windfall.
After sealing the arsenal, Li Chongjiu hurriedly rushed to the granary to inspect despite the darkness. This granary is also prepared by Emperor Yang of Sui for the conquest of Liao, in order to conquer Liao, Emperor Yang of Sui opened the Yongji Canal, from Liyang, Huiluo and other four granaries around Luoyang, a boat by boat from the Yellow River, through the Yongji Canal to transport grain to Zhuo County Jixian County, where it is stored.
Later, in order to transfer grain to the front line in eastern Liaodong, Emperor Yang of Sui sent another two million people to take the ancient road of the Daling River directly from Jixian County, Zhuo County, through Liaoxi County, and transported it to Huaiyuan Town to stock up on grain. And it was Li Yuan who was stationed in Huaiyuan Town at that time.
During the second expedition to Liao, Yang Xuangan rebelled, and Li Mi offered three plans, among which the upper plan was built from Yang Xuangan Liyangcang to lead the army north, capture Zhuo County, and seize the place where the Liao army hoarded grain, which not only cut off the westward return of the Liao army, but also made the million army have no food and die in the dangerous land of Liaodong. In the end, Yang Xuangan did not listen to Li Mi's opinion because this move was too risky.
After Li Chongjiu came to the grain depot, the grain depot official looked like a fat head and big ears, and when he saw Li Chongjiu, he nodded his head and bowed his waist, looking flattering. Even if Li Chongjiu is not in his position, he also knows that the grain depot official is definitely fat, even if the Great Sui law is very strict, but the officials are all guarding and stealing.
So listening to the grain depot official's honest and honest words, of course it is not possible, Li Chongjiu personally went to the granary to monitor, only to see that the granary grain and grass were all bags and bags stacked in a big pit like a cellar.
Accompanied by the grain depot officer, Li Chongjiu personally led people to use a long ruler with grooves to insert it into the grain bag, and then took it out, and then looked at the color of the rice on the grooves of the long ruler, whether there were moths, whether the rice was wet, and so on. Li Chongjiu walked around, inspected the granaries one by one, and checked them one by one according to the account books.
Li Chongjiu was busy until the early hours of the morning, the sky was already clear, and the grain depot official saw Li Chongjiu's serious attitude, and suddenly his fat face was covered with beads of sweat, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
At dawn, after Li Chongjiu checked, he said to the grain depot official: "It is two percent short from the account book, where is the remaining two percent?" ”
At this time, the grain depot officer couldn't stand it anymore, and knelt on the ground with a puff, and said: "Let the king spare his life, let the king spare his life." ”
Li Chongjiu said: "According to the rules of the grain officer, two percent is not too much, in recent years, there has been a shortage of rice, this Zhuo County, all the counties in Shanggu are short of rice, the people are not allowed to eat, and many places are out of grain and easy to eat, you take the opportunity to sell a little grain, although it is the selfishness of filling your pockets, but you have also lived a lot of lives. ”
"Anyway, which grain merchants are secretly communicating with you, well, I think the background is not small, as long as you tell them and spit out all the income you have earned in the past few years, I will live your dog's life."
The grain depot officer hurriedly listened and said, "Yes, envoy, I will tell the truth in full." ”
Li Chongjiu nodded, ordered someone to prepare pen and ink, and then the grain depot official presented a list, Li Chongjiu glanced at it, and said to himself: "Sure enough." ”
Li Chongjiu glanced at the grain depot officer, took a deep breath, and said, "Take it down, don't embarrass him." ”
When the grain depot official heard this, he kowtowed like garlic and said, "Thank you for the grace of your life, thank you for the grace of your life." ”
Although Li Chongjiu's heart is shorter than three percent of the grain and grass, although the granary of Zhuo County is far less than the four major warehouses in the world, because of the accumulation of the Liao expedition, there is still a lot of grain in stock, which is enough to make Li Chongjiu's 40,000 troops of the Fan Han Dynasty have no worries about food and clothing within three years. Therefore, just the arsenal and granary of Jixian County have made Li Chongjiu's move to capture Jixian County, and the harvest is huge, and it is worth the trip.
Back then, Wang Xuba mobilized more than 100,000 troops to attack Jixian County, so that it was the grain and grass of Zhuo County, but in the end he died in the city, and everyone never expected that this would be cheaper for Li Chongjiu himself.
