Chapter 53: Grain Delivery (Revision)

In Shaonan City, even if it is the real emperor Lao'er, it is not necessarily better than the banner of the Cheng family.

The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, and the Cheng family has full control over all aspects of Shaonan City, from farmland to lawsuits, there are Cheng family members everywhere, just like other aristocratic families, hundreds of years of operation have made them mark every inch of land with the word "Cheng".

It is precisely because there are Cheng family members everywhere that in Shaonan, there are also many particularities in playing the banner of the Cheng family. For example, "how many rooms does the Cheng family have", only the Cheng family of the four branches of Qingyue Yuanlong can ask, no matter how strict it is, it is best for the concubine not to say this lightly in public, so as not to be laughed at.

Hongrizhuang is the most important outer village of the Cheng family, and the steward who guards in the village naturally has the surname Cheng, so he replied obediently: "My name is Cheng Cha, and I am the person who is the original character branch and four suits." ”

The five costumes of the Great Xia Dynasty are similar to those of ancient China, that is, the upper is linked by the father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandfather (and the lower is the son, grandson, great-grandson, and great-great-grandson), and if the relationship between the two is separated from the great-grandfather, it is the four clothes, which is already a considerable relationship.

As for Qingyue Yuanlong, it is a four-service division from the generation when the Cheng family founded the foundation, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the closeness to each other is also limited.

"I am the third son of Qingzi Branch." In comparison, Cheng Jinzhou's identity is simply prominent, and he shouted: "Do you know me? ”

"The third brother of the Qingzi branch, I know." Cheng Cha was half relieved, then walked out a little more uneasily, tried his best to look into the air, and said, "What's going on in the city?" ”

"Identify yourself, and we'll go down and talk." Cheng Jinzhou said and looked at Wang Linghe, worried that he would not be willing, no matter how strong the star warlock is, he is also a mortal, unless there is a defensive star array, he will still be killed with an arrow.

Cheng Cha thought about it, and motioned to the crossbowmen to put away the arrows, as for the army, they had no opinion, there were no officers present who could command, and provoking the star warlocks was tantamount to killing themselves. For a flying star warlock, the weapon can be somewhat threatening at best, and it really makes trouble, who is sure to shoot the star warlock who moves at will in the sky, not to mention that people can not only resist, but also may have defensive equipment.

Wang Linghe didn't seem to be worried, he threw Cheng Jinzhou down, and followed behind with his hands, Lu Xu still walked in front stupidly, but there was a slight light on his left arm, which must be a protective star array.

Cheng Cha didn't know Cheng Jinzhou, but the huge Zhuangzi always knew about this famous son-in-law, and the two star warlocks fell, and the tense spirit finally relaxed a little.

As for the junior colonel in the army, it was even more unbearable, seeing that the star warlocks were all within the range of the bow and crossbow, and his waist was instantly straight, as if he was not the lowest lieutenant, but had been promoted to a general.

"Third brother." The second steward saluted Cheng Jin according to the rules, and then asked: "The snow fell too much a few days ago, and we haven't been in contact with the city for two or three days, I don't know if you are coming."

"Didn't get any food in?" Cheng Jinzhou's voice was calm, but he had a questioning tone.

Cheng Cha's eyelids jumped, and he said: "Usually the rice shop comes to buy grain, and in the past few days, the New Year has ......."

His voice grew lower. No one is more stupid than anyone else, Shaonan City closed four doors during the New Year's Festival, and there were star warlocks who brought people to question, and after thinking about it, he was clear in his heart. The citizens in the city are not as good as in the countryside, many people buy rice and grain every day, although they will buy more during the New Year's Festival, but when the market opens, there is no food, and people's hearts fluctuate.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "I must transport grain into the city today......

Cheng Cha had the courage to interrupt him and said, "The road is broken......"

"A total of dozens of miles, even if you carry the burden, you have to pick it up for me." Cheng Jinzhou said that he was arrogant, and he didn't have much bottom.

The second steward didn't dare to argue with Cheng Jinzhou, so he looked left and right and said, "Then do you have a warrant from your wife?" A few young masters' can also be. ”

Cheng Jinzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "When you get to the city, I'll give you a warrant." ”

"It's not going to work." Cheng Cha's eyes were red, and he said: "Food is a death order, I gave it to you, and you will have to commit suicide tomorrow." ”

Cheng Jinzhou grabbed his neck, dragged him in front of him, and said viciously in his ear: "Don't think I don't know the dirty things you did, I haven't bought less of the stolen public grain, today the matter is urgent, I don't have time to fight with you, if you give me food, I will definitely protect you afterwards, if you don't give it to me, don't talk about your dog's life, the whole family is waiting to throw the corpse." ”

The second steward swallowed a mouthful of saliva, rolled his eyes to the left and right twice, and said with a sad face: "Master, the Zhuang Ding here has gone home, the snow is covering the mountains, where can I find someone for you, and, and ......"

"And what?" With two star warlocks present, Cheng Jinzhou was not worried about not being able to get food at all, but the other party's attitude made him feel at ease.

Not far away, a few little stewards looked at this side worriedly, Cheng Cha caught a glimpse of them, as if grasping a straw, and hissed: "It's these little beasts, it's these little beasts." ”

"Be quiet." Cheng Jinzhou's eyes narrowed into a slit and said, "Say things." ”

"That ......" Cheng Cha plopped down on his knees on the cold snow and said with a slurp: "There may not be enough food." ”

"." Cheng Jinzhou scolded happily, really wanted to slap the thin face in front of him, and forcibly said, "What's the matter?" How many more? ”

"Up to 5ooo stone looks."

5ooo stone, that is, 25,000 catties, sent to the grain store in the city, I am afraid that it will not last in a morning.

The insufficient grain was naturally stolen and sold, and I am afraid that Cheng Jinzhou's share was still there. The closer to the New Year's Festival, the more the price of grain rises, and these farmers can't help but be natural, no wonder when they go to buy grain after serving the inkstone, they always have to lack some.

Although there is little food, it is still possible to save lives, not to mention the current transportation conditions, no amount of food can be transported. Cheng Jinzhou simply waved his hand and said: "If you can transport it into the city, I will take care of your business, and I will not blame the past." ”

"It would take more than a thousand people to get into the city, and now the horses can't run." Cheng Cha is the front-line steward, and he has a chance to save his life, so he said quickly: "The mule also has to die on the road, and the people are better, but in this kind of situation, it is very difficult for one person to carry the burden." ”

"Then more people. Get the garrison moving. Cheng Jinzhou said to the officer, "How many people do you have?" ”

"There are 8oo people in Hongrizhuang." The little colonel calmed down at this moment and said, "You don't have a warrant, and you can't move anyone." ”

His tone was much more resolute than Cheng Cha's.

If it is an adult, with Cheng Jinzhou's identity, I can't say that the officer has to think about it, but since he is a child, he will never violate the order of Shangfeng and send soldiers without authorization, otherwise the best result will be offset by merit and demerit, and the imperial court is very strict in controlling the army.

Although the colonel is afraid of death, his head is very clear.

Cheng Jinzhou stared at him for a moment, and then turned to Cheng Cha: "You go and find out all the people under your hands now, and the problem of Zhuangzi's defense will be handed over to the garrison." How far is Yoshikura from here? ”

"Less than 1o miles away, full of 10,000 people." Cheng Cha said quite skillfully, according to the current situation, the full number of 10,000 people, can be left with 3ooo can be regarded as disciplined.

Yicang is called Yicang, but it belongs to the grain reserves of the central part of Great Xia, and even Cheng Yunan is not qualified to open a warehouse, and when he heard Cheng Jinzhou's inquiry, the little school's eyes became more and more unkind. The influence of the Cheng family is enough to cover the garrison, but it is not enough for them to serve to death, and opening a righteous warehouse is an absolute capital crime.

"Send someone to my cousin." Cheng Jinzhou said, tightening the clothes wrapped around his body, and said, "How long will it take for your people to come out?" ”

Seeing that he was coming, Cheng Cha immediately became nervous, looked left and right, and said with a bitter face: "Third brother, now the weather outside can really freeze off your toes, so much food, and you have to load the burden, and in addition, it is still the New Year's Festival, and there is no ...... to pull Zhuang Ding at this time."

"Only clothes are the real problem to be solved...... Cheng Jinzhou pondered for a moment, looked at the little colonel and squinted: "Since the garrison is unwilling to dispatch, let the cotton clothes and shoes come out." ”

In this era when the army is not fully equipped for long journeys, it is simply unrealistic to ask the farmers to prepare themselves.

The little school itself was extremely afraid of death, but he had a hand in the skin, and immediately objected: "It's cold, and people will die without cotton clothes and shoes." ”

"Dead friends don't die poor." Cheng Jinzhou snorted on his lips, and there was unkindness in his eyes.

Seeing death and not saving, deceiving superiors and subordinates, selfishness, and unruly, this big school is complete.

In an instant, he really made a move.
