Li Song: Why was it suddenly closed some time ago?

General: As early as two days ago, General Ben led his troops to set up a card here, and the grain produced by drought in many parts of Zhejiang this year dropped sharply last year, and the grain merchants wantonly stockpiled grain to raise grain prices to make huge profits

Listen to him say this is also the case, the grain in Zhejiang is basically taken away by the grain merchants, if you want to store grain, you can only go abroad to buy grain like us, the border pass can indeed curb grain merchants from buying grain from other countries, if the enemy country takes the opportunity to collect grain in Zhejiang, it will be self-defeating when the smoke rises again, but this matter is too coincidental, early and late not closed, but we will be closed when we come back

Li Song: General, these grains are the rations for the winter in our county, so please be accommodating

The general glanced at the caravan: These grains must have more than one million catties, where did ordinary people get such money to buy grain, I see that you are clearly a grain merchant and dare to fool me here

"Come on, detain all this food for me."

Li Song took out a bag of silver coins from the package, stepped forward and quietly stuffed it into the general's hand: Master Jun, I am really not a grain merchant, and I want you to raise your noble hand and let us go

The general shook his hand vigorously and threw the money bag to the ground: Young T Niang and Lao Tzu came to this set

Seeing this, Gouda whispered to me: He is a member of an official family like you, you go and talk to him, maybe he can give you some thin noodles

As soon as the words fell, about three or four hundred officers and soldiers surrounded the caravan with steel knives, and Li Long and Li Hu's brother were not good at it, but they only heard the sound of "Cangchang", so the two of them pulled out the steel knives and shouted to the officers and soldiers: I see who dares

Seeing this, the men and guards accompanying the caravan also drew steel knives one after another, and confronted the officers and soldiers, and the two groups of people all pointed their knives at each other, and neither dared to use their hands easily

General: Okay, it's the other way around—it's the archers

Two hundred officers and archers stepped forward and stood in two rows, facing us with bows and arrows

Li Long turned around and shouted: The crossbowmen are ready to fight

Fifty guards took their iron crossbows from their carriages, loaded them with crossbow arrows, and aimed them at the officers and soldiers

Li Hu shouted: "Brothers, aim the crossbow arrows at the general, and if they dare to do anything, shoot him to death first."

The general saw that this was the escort of the caravan, this was clearly a well-trained army, if the guards of the ordinary caravan saw this battle, they would have been scared to pee their pants, and you could see a trace of fear on the faces of these people in front of you: Who are you who dare to openly confront the official army, this is a capital crime of attempting to rebel

This battle frightened Li Song, and he hurriedly ran to my side: The boss is in such a stalemate, and the two groups of people can't get it to fight

Li Yang: Second, you go to the general to negotiate and tell him that the grain is garrisoned in the north of Alan County, the capital of Taizhou, to see if he can be accommodating

Li Song nodded, then ran to the front and pressed the steel knife in the hands of Li Long and Li Hu: Li Long-Li Hu, what are you two doing, quickly tell the brothers to put away the knives

After speaking, he turned around and bowed: The general also asks you to have a lot of knowledge, don't be like these two rough people, and don't hide that my brother is also a member of an official family, and these grains are my brother's

When the general heard this, he asked: What is Brother Ling's official position?

Li Song: General Hui's brother is the northern garrison of Taizhou Prefecture

When the general heard this, he raised his head and laughed: I thought it was a big official in such a big battle, but I didn't expect it to be a small garrison, for the sake of my brother and my fellow official family, I won't worry about you this time, but the general must detain all these grains

Li Song: I beg your permission, General, to go back and explain to my fellow men

General: Then you can hurry up

Li Song hurriedly ran back: The boss general said that for the sake of being a member of your official family, this time he won't care about us, but he must detain this batch of grain

Li Long: If you want me to say that you should just take your brothers and rush over

In fact, Li Yang also knew in his heart that once he really started, he would not be able to take much advantage, even if the brothers could rush through the checkpoint, they would pay a very heavy price, although Li Yang was bold, but he was not so big as to dare to openly pull the flag and rebel: hand over the grain

Li Hu: Young Master, we don't want these grains

Li Yang sneered: Let's go back to Alan County first, and let them keep the grain for a few days first

The second asked the general what army he belonged to, and what they were going to do with the grain

Li Hu waved his hand and shouted: Brothers, let's go home

The guards put away the blades in their hands and stood aside to give way to the carriage, Li Song ran to the general: Dare to ask the general which army you belong to and what you plan to do with this food, and you can have an explanation with your brother when you go back

The general looked impatient: We belong to the state border guards, and these grains and other countries have sent people to escort them back to confiscate

Li Song trotted all the way to catch up: the boss asked which army belonged to the Chuzhou Border Guards, and the grain and other countries had sent people to escort them back to confiscate

As soon as Li Yang heard this, this is really an endless road, isn't the Chuzhou Border Guard Army the army under the command of the general, then this matter is much easier to do: let's go to the state city to find a place to live first

Gundam stopped: I won't accompany you to Chuzhou when the head of the Li family is old, and I don't know how my guys take care of the pharmacy after being away from home for more than half a month, so I'll go back to Taizhou City first

Li Yang: Shopkeeper Gao is really thanks to you this time, we can go to Fuguo to buy grain so smoothly, and the dividends of the merchants that I have said in advance will be sent to you after I am busy with this matter in front of me

Gundam raised his hand and twisted his beard: No, it doesn't matter

Li Yang turned around and shouted softly to the crowd: Fourth

"Here it is - here it is"

Li Pingping, he was already fat, and the flesh all over his body trembled, which made people feel a little laughing: What is the boss calling me

Li Yang: Fourth, you take a few people to send the shopkeeper back, and then you go back to Alan County to report safety to your mother and family

Li Pingping nodded honestly, "Hmm", I miss our mother too

Gundam arched his hands: "Master Li, then I'll leave first."

Li Yang returned the salute: This trip has Lao Gao's shopkeeper

After separating from Gundam and them, a few of us took the rest of the guards to Chuzhou City, and after wandering around a few streets, we finally found an inn that could accommodate so many of us, and the guys at the inn divided all the rooms for our group: Do you see any other orders, guest officer

Li Yang: Man, please let the kitchen boil more hot water, we have been on the road for a few days to take a hot shower

The guy looked reluctant and muttered: How many pots do you have to burn?

Li Song took out two silver coins from the cloth bag and threw them over: Let you go, where to go, so many words

The man grabbed the silver coin and nodded respectfully: "Come on—I'll let the kitchen boil water for you, a few guest officers."

Everyone returned to the house and sat down around the square table placed in the middle, Li Long picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Zongren: The young master originally thought that it would be difficult to buy food in Fuguo this time, but he didn't expect that Fuguo was quite smooth, but it became difficult to return to his country

Li Hu picked up the teacup and blew lightly a few times: Yes-young master, what are your plans

Li Yang raised his hand and scratched his head: I plan to go to the prefecture camp tomorrow to pay a visit to the general and see if he can find a way to help us get the grain back

Li Long slapped his thigh: If the general can come forward, our food will definitely be returned

Li Yang sighed lightly: The general is busy with official business, and he doesn't know if he is willing to take care of this matter

Li Long: I should be about the same, after all, we people have been on the battlefield with the general, isn't your official position also a general?

Li Yang: I hope so

Li Hu: There's something I don't quite understand, young master

Li Yang: You say

Li Hu: Young Master, I think it's still early, why don't you go to visit the general now and wait until tomorrow

Li Yang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to come over: I went to Fuguo this time without permission, and if I go to visit the general now, it will be tantamount to not recruiting myself

Li Hu nodded slightly: So that's what it is

Li Yang raised his hands and stretched: I haven't slept a good night during this time, no matter what, we can go home safely

"Ahh

You don't have to call me when I go to lie down and eat

Li Long: Then Li Hu and I will go to see what the brothers need

Li Yang: The second brother has suffered a lot of sins along the way, so order a few more dishes to comfort the brothers in the evening, and each person is only allowed to drink two taels of wine to avoid trouble after drinking

Li Song: Then I'll go and ask the shopkeeper to prepare the food and drinks now

After everyone left the house, Li Yang took off his coat and threw it on the table, and he lay on the bed alone for more than half a month, and I also missed Shiting and Gao Yuan them a little, no matter if I can get this batch of grain back tomorrow, I have to go back to Alan County, I don't want to be so much, I will have a good rest today

"Wake up, Boss-Boss"

I opened my eyes in a daze: what's wrong, dick

Li Song: It's almost noon, boss, aren't you going to the Chuzhou camp today?

Li Yang sat up from the bed as soon as he heard the "whoosh": I have been asleep for so long, why didn't you wake me up earlier, second child

Li Song looked helpless: I've called you several times, but you just don't get up

Li Yang hurriedly took out a clean piece of clothes from the package and changed them: Second child, you can stay in the inn, and let Li Long and Li Hu and the others go to the Chuzhou camp with me

After leaving the inn, the three of them rode to the state camp, where the guards were obviously much more numerous than before, and the guards pointed their spears at us: What are you doing in the state camp

Li Yang gave his hand: A few brothers are guarding Li Yang in the north of Taizhou, and I came here today to ask for an important matter to see the general, so please help inform me

Guard: The general has been busy with military affairs lately, so you might as well come back another day

Li Yang: When this brother recovered Chuzhou, we were all soldiers under the command of the general, and I would like you to help inform you about something important this time

Guard: Alright then, you wait here

Li Yang: I'm tired

After a few moments, the guard came out of the camp: the general let you in

As soon as I entered the camp, I saw that there were nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers on the school ground, who were training in killing, and the clean and neat movements of "Drink-Drink" were full of strength every time they swung their blades

The three of us came to the camp of the Chinese army, the general Lei Cai and several generals around a sand table, they seemed to be discussing something, seeing that Lei Cai was busy with the three of us and stood in the corner, it turned out that this group of people was discussing the border pass to arrange more troops and repair the city wall, in the blink of an eye two hours passed, standing in both legs were numb

"Ahem-ahem"

I couldn't help coughing lightly, and Lei Qi remembered that we had something important to see: let's discuss this today, you can go back first

After the generals in the camp left, the three of us stepped forward to salute: the last general and others had seen the general

Lei Qi walked to the handsome chair and sat down: Li Yang, do you have something important to say

Li Yang: Li Song, the brother of the general, went to Fuguo to buy grain, and yesterday he was detained by your soldiers on the official road leading from the border pass to Chuzhou

As soon as Lei Qi heard this, he was decided: why are they withholding your grain?

Li Yang: I heard Li Song say that the national capital issued a customs closure order

Lei Qi is even more blind: I don't know what the closure is

This time, Li Yang was also blinded: Isn't the general's customs seal order a military order issued by you

Lei Qi: Tell me what the hell is going on with the closure order

Li Yang: It is said that the purpose is to curb grain merchants from stockpiling grain to make huge profits, and to prevent grain from flowing out to other countries

Lei Qi: Then how much food have you been withheld?

Li Yang: 2 million catties

Lei Qi shouted softly outside the tent: Go and invite General Tong An to the big tent

I only heard a voice from outside the camp tent: It's the general

Li Yang: The general came back to see that the guards outside the camp had increased a lot compared to before, is there something wrong?

Lei Qi: Recently, there have been a lot of small merchants and hawkers outside the camp, and I suspect that they are the details of the Fuguo to inquire about the military situation here, and the increase in guards is to deter them and to see if there are any people in the camp who have come into contact with them

Li Yang: Didn't we stop fighting with Fuguo, General, and they sent people to all over the state to inquire about the military situation, and whether there would be a war between the two countries in the future

Lei Cai: Although the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield has stopped, the smoke of gunpowder in the dark war has never subsided, don't be confused by the comfort in front of you, you must train the troops well, only when the soldiers are strong can the country be safe, and the people of the country can recuperate and avoid the scourge of war

Li Yang: The last general will remember the general's teachings

At this time, a general walked in from outside the camp tent, looking at his face, about thirty years old, his eyes were angry, wearing a red tasseled iron helmet, and a gang of beards, wearing a heavy iron armor, with iron bracers on his wrists, and a steel knife hanging from his waist, he would make a muffled sound every step he took, this is definitely a fierce general with high martial righteousness: the last general Tong An has seen the general

Lei Qi: Tong An, you go to the official road leading to Hanlong Pass and inquire about the closure order

Tong An: The last general will go here

As soon as Tong An left, Wang Jian walked in from outside the camp tent with a face: General, you promised the old man's military rations have passed for several days, and the soldiers at the border pass are about to drink the northwest wind, if I can't get the grain today, I won't leave

After speaking, he hurriedly sat down on the chair, and a few of us quickly stood up: I have seen General Wang

Wang Jian replied with a gloomy face: Ah, you are here

Lei Qi picked up the teapot and walked to Wang Jian with the teacup and poured him a cup of tea: Brother Guangyuan came to drink tea to dissipate his anger, I have been to the country several times to urge the allocation of military rations, but there has been no reply for a long time, these days I am also worried about the matter of military rations, you came just right, you have to take care of the military affairs for me for a few days, I personally returned to China to urge food

Wang Jian was a little unhappy when he heard it: If you come back to China, you will go back to the country and hide quietly, and I won't do anything if you throw this mess to me

After a stick of incense, General Tong An returned: the general's order to seal the customs was issued by the Ministry of Households, and the governor of the prefecture, Lord He, ordered the state army to set up cards on the official road to strictly check the passing grain merchants, whether it was transported in from abroad or from the country, it had to be seized on the spot

Lei Qi: So that's the case, Li Yang's customs seal order turned out to be a decree issued by the national capital, even if I am a royal family, I can't disobey it, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you this time

Li Yang knelt on the ground and cried when he heard the "poof", "General, this is the winter ration for tens of thousands of people in Alan County, if we can't get this food back, then we will starve to death, General, you have to make decisions for tens of thousands of Li people in Alan County."

Lei Qi couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Yang crying: Look at what you are crying for, you are still a dignified seven-foot man, I want to help you in my heart, but I have to have an explanation to the outside world, or people will say that I, the general, are covering you

Li Yang raised his hand and wiped the tears on his face: Isn't there any other way for the general?

Thunder Rider shook his head

At this time, Wang Jian sneered on the side: It's not impossible to be numb

Li Yang looked at Wang Jian hopefully: I also asked General Wang for advice

Wang Jian put on a proud look: If this batch of grain is military food, then the general has the right to ask

Lei Qi shook his hand: No-no

Li Yang looked puzzled: Why can't the general

Lei Qi: Even if I help you get these grains back in the name of military rations, then Lord He will inevitably bring this matter to the national capital, and those big men in Yufeng City will think that we have food in our hands and temporarily transfer grain to the border pass, if the food is less, I can still help you fool the past, but 2 million catties of grain is not a small number, if I help you get back the grain, if you transport the grain away, I will be suspected of greedy for food, and the 100,000 soldiers at the border pass are still waiting for the rice to be put into the pot, you better go back, I can't help you

Wang Qian: General, for the sake of his life and death with us on the battlefield, you can help him

Thunder Rider: How else can I help him?

Wang Qian: Li Yang, don't embarrass the general, I think you donate part of this batch of grain as military rations, if someone asks, the general will have an explanation, what do you think?

Li Yang only then reacted to the feelings of "I Cao", you two singing and waiting for me here, before I knew it, I would get into the trap set by Wang Jian and Lei Qi, if I don't donate this batch of food, I will definitely not come back, if I donate less, the general may not be able to look down on the eyes, and I am really distressed if I donate more: the last general is willing to rely on the will of the two generals

Wang Jian nodded slightly at Lei Qi, Lei Qi looked up and stretched out 5 fingers after thinking about it, Li Yang shouted in surprise, "What is 50%, that's 1 million catties."

Lei Qi: How much leisure, or I think you might as well go back

There are still options for this matter, and I can only agree to it: 5 achievements and 5 percent

Lei Qimei got up from the chair and walked to me, he stretched out his hands and grabbed my shoulders and shook them a few times: You are really a good guy, every time I encounter a problem, you will have "wahahaha"

Wang Jian also stood up from the chair and echoed on the side: It is indeed a lucky general, "haha"

Lei Qi: General Wang, then you have to take a trip and take my general order to help him get the food back

Wang Jian looked treacherous: the old man who had 1 million catties of grain was transported to the border

Lei Qi: No, there is not much food left in the state camp, and you have to leave half of the 1 million catties of food for me

Wang Jianhan smiled: Then I'll go get food

After saying that, he turned around and ran out happily

Li Yang turned around: Li Long, Li Hu, you two hurry back to the inn, and let the second child take the guards to get the food back with General Wang Qian

Lei Qi stretched out his hand and patted Li Yang: Do you still have any grain that has not been shipped back in Fuguo?

Li Yang was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand: Without the food that was detained, it was all
