When the grain was raised, Wei Taishou was still very uncooperative, but as soon as Chi Tang mentioned counting the granary and the arsenal, Wei Taishou agreed with his mouth, and the cooperation made people feel a "sigh".

Not only that, but he also took the initiative to send the record book over, asking Chi Tang to take a look at it first, and then go to the warehouse to count it on a certain day.

But these records—

Chi Tang couldn't read it.

She also looked at the account books of her own industry, this kind of record book of the government and yamen, in which the amount of entry and exit of each item is related to the military situation and the people's situation, how it is reasonable, even Li Shi can't say.

Chi Tang had to find Chunxi, who was barely half a local, to watch.

Chunxi only flipped through a grain book and put it down, and said, "The grain and grass in the military government should be fine." ”

"So now so little, is it really hollowed out by the war?" Chi Tang asked.

Although she couldn't understand the cat, it was obvious that there was little leftover.

Judging from this surplus grain, Wei Taishou's crying of poverty is also very reasonable.

Chunxi shook his head and said: "Now there is so little, because there are few, in fact, the local grain merchants know some, most of the grain in Lingwu County is in the hands of local families like the Fu family and the Yuwen family, and the granaries of each county are just for show, in case of famine, the people can't count on the government, so they can only sell themselves to the family." ”

Chi Tang was silent for a while and asked, "What about the ordnance?" ”

Chunxi shook her head helplessly.

Li Shidao: "I'm afraid that the ordnance record can only be understood by people who are in charge of the Hyogo or who understand the local military. ”

Aren't all such people from Wei Le or local families?

Chi Tang flipped through the recording book at a loss, and asked casually, "Do you have a reliable candidate?" ”

I didn't hold out hope when I asked, but after asking, I saw Li Shi's face hesitant.

I was just about to ask, but I also realized it, and I also felt hesitant.

"Qi Si said that the identity of the amnesia is suspicious, and it cannot be ruled out that he is deliberately approaching us, is it appropriate for him to show him the records of the military government?" After waving off Chunxi, Chi Tang left Li Shi alone and asked.

Li Shi secretly praised Qi Lan for his responsibility, and suggested on the other hand: "Why don't you choose a copy and copy it again, change the number and ask him?" ”

Chi Tang felt that he could: "When he comes back, call to the front hall to discuss the matter!" ”

……

The amnesia came back in the evening, and he came directly to the front hall, carrying a horizontal knife on his shoulder.

After listening to Li Shi, he flipped through the account book that he had copied, looked up at Chi Tang with a smile, and asked, "Has this number changed?" ”

was caught off guard and was exposed, and Chi Tang suddenly blushed.

Amnesia took the horizontal knife on his shoulder, knocked on the account book, and sneered: "Guarding me like this, don't ask me for help!" ”

Chi Tang glanced at him: "I didn't ask you, if you don't say it, forget it, go ahead!" ”

Amnesia carried the knife back on her shoulder and raised an eyebrow at her: "Then I'm really gone?" ”

Chi Tang nodded, turned to Mo San and ordered, "Don't give him meat tonight!" ”

"Hey! You-" Amnesia shouted, couldn't help laughing again, shook his head, and sighed, "I've been working hard these days, and I can be said to have done my best to die, if you don't believe me, can't you pretend to be nice to me?" ”

Chi Tang disagreed: "I saved your life, healed your injuries, provided you with food, and provided you with clothing, not good enough?" Isn't it also what you said about repaying the favor? ”

"Okay, okay! I repay the favor! ”

He nodded good-naturedly, tapped the record book on the table with the tip of his knife, and said with a smile: "This ordnance record book is either not from Lingwu County, or it is twice as high!" ”

Chi Tang exchanged a look with Li Shi, both shocked.

He really got it right!

"How?" Chi Tang asked with a sincere attitude.

Amnesia sat down and said, "I took the girls of the Golden Ring Army to practice today, and I want to get a batch of horizontal knives from the arsenal for them to practice," he raised the horizontal knife in his hand, "The horizontal knife is the most basic weapon, there are three specifications: two feet, two and a half feet and three feet, I want twenty two-foot horizontal knives, they can't take them out, it can be seen that there are not many goods in the arsenal!" ”

He put the horizontal knife in his hand on the table, pulled the blade out in half, and said, "Look at the horizontal knife you received today!" ”

Chi Tang glanced at it and saw that something was wrong: "Can this knife still work?" ”

This knife is worn and worn, not to mention the slightest edge, and there is even a gap in the blade.

Amnesia smiled and said, "At least there aren't many available in Huile City, but I don't know how many other garrisons are left." ”

"How much should there be?" Chi Tang asked.

"Huile City commanded the army, with 2,700 soldiers and 3,000 horses, and it stands to reason that the number in this record should be five times more than what you have changed——"

"But Shuo Fang is in a hurry, some of the soldiers and horses here have been transferred to Luzi Pass, I don't know how much has been transferred, at least half of them have to be, right? But because it was a rapid march, I should have brought not much with me at that time......"

He talked eloquently, and his mouth was like a river.

The more Chi Tang listened, the more frightened he became.

Is this person too familiar with the military affairs of Lingwu County?

“…… Under normal circumstances, it would have been twice as much as the number on this book, but now, I guess, it's half as much as yours! ”

Chi Tang looked at him with a twinkle in his eyes and asked, "Do you know so much, or don't you know who you are?" ”

He was stunned and laughed at himself: "I also want to know who I am, and I always feel that there is something important to do." ”

Chi Tang had no choice but to put it down and continue the topic just now: "I heard that the grain in Lingwu County is concentrated in the hands of the family, will it be ordnance too?" ”

Amnesia glanced at her in surprise, nodded and smiled: "You really guessed right!" The Beidi clan does have the habit of raising private soldiers, and most of the less ordnance has been divided up by them," he suddenly smiled mockingly, "The predecessor Shuofang Jiedu was defeated so quickly, and there is also a credit to these families!" The ordnance, grain and grass are in their hands, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court can't withstand the big war at all! ”

Chi Tang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What about Luziguan in Yan'an County?" Is there also a situation where this kind of family control? ”

Amnesia touched his chin and thought about it, "There should be, right?" It's not very familiar over there. ”

Chi Tang Huo Ran got up, grabbed the corner of the table tightly with his hand, was silent for a moment, and looked up at Li Shi.

Li Shi understood what she meant, and hurriedly persuaded: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Ordnance and Grain and Grass will find a way!" ”

If you want to dig something out of the pocket of the Lingwu County family, the risk is too great!

Chi Tang also knew this, so Li Shi persuaded him to dispel his thoughts, but he was always uncomfortable in his heart.

Amnesia looked at Li Shi, then at Chi Tang, and suddenly asked, "What do you want armament and grain and grass for?" ”

Chi Tang didn't know whether to tell him or not, so he went to see Li Shi.

Li Shidao: "The father of the crown princess was at war with the Turks in Yan'an County. ”

Amnesia looked at Chi Tang, his eyes flashed twice, and he suddenly hooked his lips and said, "If the crown princess wants to earn some food and grass, I have a way-"
