Guanzhong was white.

A long queue on the official road is particularly conspicuous.

It was countless people and livestock transporting baggage to the front line.

In the bitterly cold weather, the long dragon struggled to wind forward.

The ice and snow that has just been swept away will be frozen again after half a burnt of incense.

With a "roar", a mule slipped under its hooves and fell to the ground, and even the whole wooden cart overturned on its side, and the grain on the cart spilled on the ground, overpowering the two people who were pushing the cart.

It happened that a young man in regular clothes and his servant passed by, and without saying a word, he threw off the saddle and dismounted, assisted in cleaning the food, carried out the overpowered man, and checked his injuries again.

"It doesn't matter, it didn't hurt my bones." The boy's voice was gentle.

Several people hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you." ”

"Have you ever eaten and clothed yourself on such a cold day?" The young man looked at the people.

"If you go back to Gongzi, I will help the court transport grain, and the court will pay the salary, which is enough for the family to have a good year, but I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and maybe I can buy a few more clothes." The eyes of the people also turned on the young man and Hu Cong, and when they saw that he was noble, they knew that they had met a big man, and their expressions were more respectful and cautious.

The boy didn't pay attention to this, "That's good, that's good." ”

"Hurry up ahead, don't get in the way!" The people in the back shouted.

The men smiled apologetically at the boy, bowed their hands, and drove the mule cart on.

"Your Highness, Duke Lu is in front of you." Zhang Liang beside him reminded.

The young man hurriedly mounted his horse and went east with the others.

To the east is a transit station, which provides hot water and food for the people, as well as forage.

Lu Zhi led a group of officials to be busy, and did not pay attention to the arrival of the prince, "If the grain in Hedong is insufficient, the grain from Hongnong, Nanyang, and Hanzhong will be transferred." ”

"The heavy snow in Hanzhong covers the mountains, the grain cannot be transferred, the grain in Hedong and Hongnong has long been eaten, and the grain in Nanyang has been sent up, and it can only last for a month."

There were more than 200,000 horses and livestock in an army of 400,000, more than a man could eat.

For this battle, the Qin State showed all the old bottoms.

Originally, everything was planned.

However, this year is colder than in previous years, and there is heavy snow everywhere, resulting in the inability to transport grain from Hanzhong and Shuzhong, and the grain from Hehuang is also blocked.

Lu Zhi said: "Nanyang's grain will go up first. ”

The logistics of hundreds of thousands of people, without extraordinary talents, must be a mess.

Henkel competes for hegemony in the world, if there is no Xiao He, can the Han Yan be defeated again and again and finally defeat the overlord?

Wei Wu whipped the Central Plains, and Xun Yu was also in the rear to coordinate the grain and grass.

Suo Jing arched his hand and said: "Before Your Majesty sets out on the expedition, issue treasury bonds to the people, according to the following opinion, it is better to issue it again!" ”

Lu Zhi refused: "By all means, I have taken away the general grain stored in the people's homes last time, and this winter is so cold, how can the people live if we take their grain again?" ”

Prince Yang Xu listened intently.

The attendants around him also listened carefully, whispering a few words in his ear from time to time.

"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to let Your Majesty ...... earlier" Du Kuan's eyes flickered, and he swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.

Naturally, he didn't want to fight, and he retreated and thought about it in the long run.

But it's easy for 400,000 people to pounce, but it's not so easy to retreat.

After retiring this year, Sima Yan took a breath back, and the next time he went on the expedition, he didn't know when he would have to wait.

The mansion in Daxing City can be sold for the first time, but it is not a long-term solution to always count on this.

Lu Zhi frowned, "To fight or not to fight, Your Majesty has to decide, and we should do our best!" ”

Du Kuan was a simple literati, but he was not.

knew that urging forward at this time would bring a lot of pressure to Yang Zheng.

"The rear is difficult, the front is even more difficult, Your Majesty entrusted us with Great Qin, how can we let him down?" Lu Zhi encouraged everyone.

"What Lu Gong said is very true."

"Taifu, Shaofu, Du Gong, I think that treasury bonds can be issued!" In front of the high-ranking officials of the Great Qin Empire, the crown prince looked slightly cramped.

"But the people are overwhelmed." Lu Zhi has carefully taught the prince for so many years, and has spent a lot of effort, and he was a little displeased when he heard the prince's words.

Yang Xu said: "Treasury bonds can be issued to Hexi scholars and retired soldiers. ”

The Hexi scholars are lying on the business road, and they are all rich, especially the Huangfu, Suo, Zhang, Jia and other scholars, for so many years, the political interests have been suppressed by Yang Zheng, so the tentacles have reached into the business road.

Every year, the East-West trade makes a lot of money.

Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, "The Hexi Shi clan is strong and strong, and the minister is already persuading, but the retired soldier is not expected by the minister." ”

Yang Xu explained: "The retired soldiers are the backbone of my Great Qin, and after so many years of being favored by my father, they should have food in their hands. ”

The Chinese army retired at the age of 50, and even if he did not make an inch, he could still get 200 acres.

and is exempt from payment during service.

Thus creating a large number of "small landlords" for Daqin.

"The minister personally went to persuade him!" Lu Zhi twisted his beard and smiled, his eyes full of relief.

Although the crown prince Yang Xu didn't see Yang Zheng's bravery, he was very smart.

Of course, people in this era were generally precocious.

Children of ordinary families go to work in the fields or graze cattle at the age of five or six, and get married or go to war at the age of twelve or thirteen.

After this year, the crown prince will be twelve.

"Taifu is always planning the rear, and he works hard, so it's better to go alone and persuade him." Yang Xu arched his hand.

Retired soldiers are also a major resource, and people who are 50 years old are not completely old, can get on horses, can go to the fields, and are highly respected in the township.

It is also a good thing that the prince is close to them.

Lu Zhi said with a smile: "Your Highness has this heart, it is really the blessing of Great Qin!" ”

"It's too serious." Yang Xu didn't think about it so much, he purely wanted to share his worries for Yang Zheng.

Zhang Liang, Beigong Chun, Wen Ji and others around him saluted one by one, "Meet Lu Gong." ”

"You don't need to be polite." Lu Zhi was not complacent because of his high position.

Flattered everyone.

Suo Jing said: "Your Highness, Taifu rest assured, the Hexi Shi clan will fully support Daqin!" ”

Although the Hexi Shi clan did not have the right to enter the former door, many of the elite children of the clan still served in the court and local governments.

It is impossible for the Great Qin Imperial Court not to use these elite children who are really talented and learned.

Suo Jing is an example of this.

After so many years of hard work, hard work, and a lot of effort has been spent for Daqin.

Great Qin's domination of the world is of course a great thing for the Haoqiang of the Hexi Shi clan.

One is prosperous, and one is lost.

Kansai was suppressed for two hundred years, and of course the nobles couldn't swallow this breath.

Since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, it is not a strange thing that the Kansai and Kanto regions have competed.

"There's Young Master Lao." Yang Xu bowed to Suo Jing again.

Suo Jing hurriedly returned the salute, "Duke Lu doesn't need to worry, His Majesty went out to bring tens of thousands of livestock, just to deal with the risk of food shortage." ”

The Qin State was not all about food.

The four major pastures of Hetao, Liangzhou, Hehuang and Mobei have nearly 200,000 heads of various livestock slaughtered every year, which strongly supports the great cause of dominating the world!
