After January, the autumn harvest has arrived.

In the East Palace, Prince Xiang Baichuan set up a banquet and invited many officials.

However, it is said that there are many officials.

But it is probably Qingliu headed by Prime Minister Wei Qing, and the officials of the family faction are scattered and rare.

As for the generals, they didn't come.

Everyone sat down one after another, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.

Xiang Baichuan stood up and said: "Now that it is late autumn, according to the will of my father, the Northern Expedition to Dayan, I am afraid that it will be either the end of this year or the beginning of next year." ”

"At this time, it is a good time to accumulate grain and grass."

"In the past month, my father and emperor have probably not been in charge of things, but have gradually begun to delegate power, and many things have fallen on the head of the palace and King Yuan."

"It's probably the same now."

"King Yuan is responsible for recruiting troops from various counties and counties, and we are responsible for purchasing money and grain and preparing iron tools."

"This is our first contest with the Yuanwang Party, and I hope you will work together."

Gu Beichuan sat beside Hu Yan, listening to His Royal Highness the Prince's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The first fight...

Between the princes, if this contest is set first, I am afraid that it will not be peaceful.

However, since he is in the game, he can't hide if he wants to.

You can only do your best.

But fortunately, compared to recruiting soldiers, preparing food, grass and iron tools is undoubtedly a relatively simple job.

Moreover, according to Wei Xiang's meaning, he only needs to be responsible for the grain and grass of the two counties of Jianghuai.

This is simpler, after all, he is a native of Jiangnan, and his net worth is all over Huainan.

It's just a matter of collecting food, and it couldn't be easier.

Even, there is no need to raise money, only Feihong's family is out, and it's not that it can't be released.

It is just to add another sum to the annual payment of the imperial merchant grain.

Although it is a bit difficult, it seems to be nothing for the two counties of Jianghuai, which have begun to popularize hybrid rice.

Obviously, Wei Xiang was clear about his appeal and specially arranged an easy job for him.

I don't want him to get too involved in the struggle between the prince and the heir.

Looking at it this way, this prime minister is really good.

No wonder he was able to teach great Confucians like Hu Yan and Qin Xiuwen, and after such a contact, even Gu Beichuan himself admired him a lot.

……

After returning from the East Palace, Gu Beichuan still continued the routine of two o'clock and one line in the past.

In the morning, I went to the workshop, went home at noon, practiced martial arts in the afternoon, and listened to Zheng Jian report on business matters by the way.

It's still very leisurely.

He didn't take the matter of food to heart, and only repaired a letter to his father Gu Jun, and Huainan would naturally raise enough grain and grass to transport it.

It's just that... Even so, something happened!

The grain was robbed on the way!

Moreover, it was robbed near Qiandu!

The three brothers Du Jinxin, Du Shuimiao and Du Musen who transported the grain, who were martial arts cultivators, were only slightly weaker than Li Dongbi, and they were the peak of their true qi.

Those who can snatch the food from their hands are afraid that only the True Qi Realm is the True Qi Realm.

In the main hall of the Gu Mansion, looking at the three brothers who were all injured, but with a little shame on their faces, Gu Beichuan sighed faintly.

"The matter has passed, and the three senior brothers don't have to worry too much."

"It's just that in recent days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been fighting with King Yuan, and the water in Qiandu is very deep."

"I hope the three of them can stay in Qiandu and help me for the time being."

The three brothers glanced at each other and nodded: "Dare not obey!" ”

Now, Gu Beichuan's status in their Medicine King Palace is rising, and it is not what it used to be.

If he was only a disciple and partner on the periphery of the Medicine King Palace before, now he is undoubtedly the highest-level of the high-level.

Why?

Because he discovered bacteria and antibiotics!

This is an amazing theory that the medicine king Sun Xing has never discovered!

If this set of things can be confirmed and the antibiotics can be successfully extracted, I don't know how many lives can be saved in the future.

This alone is enough to make many disciples of the Medicine King Palace revere him.

Naturally, these three brothers are also included.

After arranging the three brothers, Gu Beichuan sat alone in the main hall, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression was a little ugly.

This was the first confrontation between the crown prince and King Yuan, and the work that Wei Xiang arranged for him was relatively simple and easy, but he was still messed up.

This...... It's a bit of a stretch.

If this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that it will cause criticism among the clear streams.

"Come on, prepare the horse, I'm going to Wei Mansion."

After a while, Gu Beichuan arrived at Wei Qing's mansion.

It's just that to his surprise, not only did he come, but most of the officials of the Qing faction actually came.

"Prime Minister... The grain transported from Hexi County was lost halfway. A Qingliu official lowered his head, quite ashamed.

"Prime Minister, the iron ore brought back from Meishan County was also robbed halfway." Another official said with an equally frustrated look.

When Gu Beichuan heard this, he immediately frowned.

Feelings, he is not alone.

Wei Qing looked at Gu Beichuan and had a bad premonition, among these people, he had the greatest hope for Gu Beichuan.

After all, Gu Beichuan has the strongest ability and the highest knowledge, not to mention that he is from the two counties of Jianghuai.

But don't...

"The grain in Jianghuai County has also been lost."

"We are responsible for delivering food to the three peaks of true qi, and they all returned injured."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Qing's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

The three peaks of true qi, in the case of not being able to get out, have already walked sideways.

Gu Beichuan used such an armed force to transport food, it can be seen that he really put his heart into it, and he is no wonder about this matter.

"So much food was robbed together, I'm afraid... It's not an ordinary bandit..."Hu Yan spoke, his eyes deep.

Not surprisingly, the grain and grass he was responsible for were also robbed.

Seeing this, Gu Beichuan looked around, muttered for a while, and said, "Dare to ask your grain and iron mines, where were they robbed?" ”

When the officials heard this, they didn't know what he meant for a while, but in view of Gu Beichuan's talent, they also answered truthfully.

"Approaching Qiandu, it was robbed in Jiuyuan."

"I'm also near Jiuyuan, that strong man is so powerful, the sergeant I arranged is dead and wounded."

"The iron mine I am responsible for is also near Qiandu, and it was robbed in Jiuyuan."

Jiuyuan is an area near Qiandu, which is connected by nine plains of large and small, so it is named, and there are many farmers living there, and there are many rare good land. If people from the south enter the county, they will probably pass through Jiuyuan.

"It's all in Jiuyuan... I'm afraid it wasn't robbed by a strongman, but... The nobles in the Qiandu did it. Gu Beichuan said.

When the people heard this, they were silent.

Who the nobleman in Gu Beichuan's mouth is, they know it.

Originally, the two sides were just competing normally, but now... The other party's method is a bit inferior, and it belongs to the stumbling block in the gutter.

It's just that the one is about the nobleman, and they can't say anything, so they can only report it and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince make a decision.
