Not to mention anything else, the material consumed by the army that fights every day is a terrifying number, people eat horses and chew, and everything needs to be transported from Taidang County thousands of miles away, and a large number of young and strong laborers are withdrawn and joined into the mighty transportation brigade, which gathers the tension of spring ploughing even more.

Fortunately, after several years of the implementation of the new policy and the construction of mutual aid groups, the two counties can barely cope with the coordination of the local government, town mayor, and village head.

Liu Yiyuan, the head of Meiluo County, even called on all officials to go to the countryside to help the people farm in addition to government affairs, in order to lead by example, he was the first to roll up his trouser legs, roll up his sleeves, and help the plough to go down to the field to cultivate, which not only brought the work style of the officials of Meiluo County, but also made Liu Yiyuan's appeal in Meiluo County like the sky, and his reputation was not the same for a while.

If there is something good at the top, it will be effective at the bottom, with the personal practice of Liu Yiyuan's county head, the officials at all levels in the yamen in the past can only throw away Sven, whether they are willing or not, or pretentious, they can only do so.

This also made the princess's Chen Bowen and other Beijing staff stunned, sighing that Sven swept the floor, and the work became more and more difficult, not only the people did not buy their accounts, even the officials did not have the energy to talk to them about the east and west, yin and yang violated, saying that today in the royal gate for a day's work, could have been a little rest tomorrow, and had to go to the countryside to plow the fields and plant seedlings with the people, who has the energy to talk about Fengyue with them, discuss the government!

At present, the officials of the two counties can only widen their eyes, and they have worked hard to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors, you must know that the officials of Taidang and Merlot counties are inspected once a year, and every winter idle period is the life and death of the officials.

Chen Bowen was at a loss, the operation system of Merlot County officials was completely different from the Dawu bureaucratic system he was familiar with, his previous experience was difficult to move an inch here, and it was often counterproductive, and what made him even more depressed was that whenever he finally found a few suitable supporters, he didn't have time to cooperate deeply, these people were imprisoned, some went to the county prison, and some were even worse, and they were directly taken away by the Blood Red Enchantress Branch of Merlot County.

In the prison of the county government, Chen Bowen could still go in and have a look, he even found Liu Yiyuan to intercede, but when Liu Yiyuan put the charges of these people in front of him one by one, seeing the thick file, Chen Bowen could only stubbornly return, as for the blood-red demon queen, "Hmph, Chen Bowen is unwilling to provoke."

As the days go by, all the gentry of Merlot County have learned that the current princess Xingyuan is a black hole, and Chen Bowen, the director of Xingyuan, is an out-and-out broom star, as long as he is touched, he will definitely be unlucky, so Chen Bowen, who was still fragrant and gluttonous when he first came to Merlot County to prepare for the construction of the princess Xingyuan, immediately became the most unpopular person in Merlot County, and the princess Xingyuan was a bird.

If Chen Bowen decided to visit a certain gentry that day, this gentry would either walk out of the door, or be very sick, in a word, he can't entertain guests! Chen Bowenlong, who was resourceful and had high hopes for Fu Yingdong, the first assistant of the Great Martial Arts, was trapped in the shallows, and could only sigh with his companions every day, borrowing wine to drown his sorrows.

And Zou Hong, who threw Chen Bowen down to Meiluo County, had already forgotten about this big man, he had more things to do, in addition to spring ploughing, he also had to cooperate with Yan Qinghua to raise enough food for the army of Tiandugrad, although the several warehouses established in Taidang County were full, but Zou Hong knew that if there was not enough food flowing into Meiluo County every day, then these warehouses would not be able to support a month.

Especially now that it is spring, and the grain in various places is very tight, it is really not an easy task to buy enough grain, but fortunately, through the issuance of bonds a year ago, Taidang County has a rich treasury and can come up with enough silver to cope with the sharp rise in grain prices.

Even so, Zou Hong and Yan Qinghua are so busy every day that they don't dare to be careless, they are going to get out of the fork here, which will not only affect the current battle of Tiandugrad, but also affect the long-term strategy of Taidang County.

"Lord Zou, Lord Zou!"

Confucius Yu, an adult who had just been promoted to the former Bond Issuance Department of Taidang County, ran into Zou Hong's office with a panicked face, holding a robe in one hand and constantly wiping the sweat on his face with the other. Zou Hong, who raised his head and saw Confucius Yu's embarrassed appearance, immediately sank.

"Ziyu, what's wrong? Don't rush, sit down, drink saliva, and speak slowly! ”

Zou Hong stood up, he has been in power in Taidang County for a long time, he is no longer the down-and-out scholar when he first came to Taidang County, he has raised the qi and moved the body, he is used to seeing big things, and he has developed the city government where Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and the color remained unchanged, although he felt bad in his heart, but his face was still calm.

"Alas, Lord Zou, something is wrong, how can you drink water if you have something to worry about!"

Confucius Ziyu continued with an angry face:

"Something happened to our food convoy."

Sure enough, what was he afraid of, Zou Hong's heart jumped, "What's wrong, can't you buy food or something else?"

Zou Hong personally poured a glass of water for Confucius and asked.

"Neither!"

Taking the cup, Confucius said:

"The grain buying team bought grain, but it was detained at Tianqi Pass."

"What did you say?"

Zou Hong didn't believe his ears.

"Tianqi Pass has withheld our grain?"

Tianqi Pass is the main road of Taidang County to the hinterland of Dawu, and it is also the throat of Taidang County, which belongs to Taihe County, and a large number of grains purchased by Taidang County from the outside have been transported into Taidang County through here in the past, and there has never been anything wrong.

"What do you mean by Pu Zhihuai? Do you want to turn your face with Tai Dangjun? ”

Zou Hong was puzzled, Pu Zhihuai is the county guard of Taihe County, although he has always been good friends with the Kang family, but he is not bad with Taidang County.

"I don't know! Hou Dayong, the Tianqi guard who came forward to detain our grain team, and an official of the Commerce and Trade Department in charge of the grain team reasoned with the other party, and was beaten out with a stick by the local government, and he is now recuperating from his injuries! ”

Confucius finally took a breath.

There is no reason to detain the food that Taidang County urgently needs, this is not good, because this is obviously taking advantage of Taidang County's soft coercion, Zou Hong's face sank, did Pu Zhihuai completely take refuge in the Kang family and prepare to fight with Taidang County?

Is this the mastermind of the Kang family, who wants to use the grain to make Taidang County fall into the quagmire of the Northern Barbarian War and can't pull out his feet, if this is the case, it will be very bad.
