"Push harder, push harder."

"Stride forward, hey, hey, hey..."

On the official road leading to Quanjiang County.

Hundreds of wagons were in front, followed by a thousand-strong mule caravan.

And on both sides of the line.

Eight hundred elite soldiers are dressed in sharp clothes, and the leading more than ten people are riding on high-headed horses, all wearing bright light armor, with crossbows and knives and guns on their backs, and they are very difficult to mess with at first glance.

"Report!"

"Twenty miles ahead, is the county seat of Quanjiang."

The army travels.

The most important thing is to explore the horses.

Thirty-two lean cavalrymen shuttled back and forth, and every time the grain convoy passed through, they would take the first step to find out the situation within a radius of several miles, so as to minimize the possibility of being ambushed.

"The people of Ping'an Dao are still acquaintances, I thought there would be twists and turns on the way to transport grain, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth."

Tiger stripes right away.

Huang Fuqi had a reins in one hand and a silver spear in the other: "It seems that the wish to fight with Ping'an Dao can only be suppressed." ”

Side.

Jiang Xuan said lightly: "The reason why the people of Ping'an Dao attacked the granary of the government was because the Zhou Governor's Mansion ordered that all localities were not allowed to open warehouses to release grain, and they took risks in order to prevent the people from starving to death. ”

Huang Fuqi nodded: "The people of Ping'an Dao are really stupid, isn't it good to hide in the shadows and live well, you have to jump out and be a hero, it's like looking for death." ”

Jiang Xuan did not answer.

There is no way to say this kind of thing, if Ping'an Dao does not attack the official warehouse, it will naturally not expose itself.

But on the other hand, without them taking warehouses and distributing grain to the people, the victims in Quanjiang County would not have lasted so long, and I am afraid that more than half of them would have starved to death.

I don't want to say it though.

But from the perspective of the victims, Ping'an Dao is really a light, burning itself and illuminating the entire Quanjiang County.

It's a pity.

Although Jiang Xuan understands the hardships of these people, the law of the country is ruthless, and these things done with peace are okay with affection, law and country, and the crime cannot be punished, and he is just a person who does things.

Drive!

Drive!!

Muddy all the way.

The group hurried and arrived at Quanjiang before dark.

"Who's the envoy?"

Jiang Xuan and his party had just arrived.

The Quanjiang County Order, who received the news in advance, led the county officials and gentry to greet them: "Quanjiang County Commander Kong Lingci, see, I have seen the envoy." ”

Jiang Xuan looked up.

Kong Xian Ling's appearance of seventy or eighty years old makes people feel drunk, and he has to squint his eyes when he looks at people, and he looks old and dizzy, and he can't see people clearly.

"Kong County Order, this year's Gui Geng?"

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Don't dare to talk about it, Geng is eighty years old, and he will be eighty-three soon."

Kong Xian Ling smiled flatteringly: "But don't worry, my lord, I'm not old, the longevity of the old man, I was only ninety-seven years old, and I am fourteen miles younger than his old man." ”

As soon as I heard this.

Jiang Xuan also sighed: "In his old age, he is still sticking to his post, Quanjiang County has you in charge, and Zhou Zhifu is relieved." ”

Kong County Commander didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, and said beautifully: "Yes, Governor Zhou attaches great importance to me, and my position as a county commander was promoted by his old man from the county." ”

After speaking.

Kong Xian Ling hurriedly asked again: "Zhou Zhifu, his old man's health is okay?" ”

"The eclipse fights rice, and the meat is ten catties, although it is sixty-three this year, the spirit is still very good."

Jiang Xuanle said happily, and then looked at the group of officials: "These are..."

"Quanjiang County Cheng, He Sihai, see adults."

"The main book of Quanjiang County, Lu Mingyou, see your lord."

"Quanjiang County's chief catcher, Xiong Tiankuo, see adults."

A litany of large and small officials.

Jiang Xuan didn't have much interest in other people, but this always head catcher Xiong Tiankuo, seeing his tiger back and bear waist with a powerful appearance, he couldn't help but say: "Where did the bear head catcher come from?" ”

Xiong Tiankuo was a little embarrassed, bowed his head and said: "If you go back to the adult, the villain is from the martial arts hall in the county and has never joined the sect. ”

Martial arts background?

That's no origin.

When Jiang Xuan saw Xiong Tiankuo's appearance, he thought he was a good hand at horizontal practice.

But the martial arts hall is still a martial arts hall in the county, to put it bluntly, he will teach some street styles, and he doesn't have much ability to think about it, so Jiang Xuan soon lost interest in him.

"Take an inventory of the grain I brought, and while it's still dark, set up thirty cauldrons at the entrance of the county ya."

Jiang Xuan glanced at the victims gathered on the side of the road, and looked at the victims here: "From today on, every morning and afternoon, we will give porridge for two hours. ”

Hear this.

None of the others complained, only Xiong Zhutou felt that it was inappropriate: "My lord, there are more than 100,000 victims in Quanjiang County, is thirty pots too few, hundreds of people are lined up behind one pot, the first one is fine, and the last one will have to line up for an hour or two, and breakfast will go to lunch." ”

Jiang Xuan's face was expressionless: "I just want them to wait more, wait more, wait for a morning, just wait for their eyes to be dizzy, their legs tremble, so that ordinary people who have surplus food at home will not come to compete with the victims." ”

"My lord," Xiong Zhutou said hurriedly, "Many of the victims are old and weak, women and children, so what is the difference between letting them line up for an hour or two and killing them directly." ”

said.

Looking at the grain team behind Jiang Xuan, Xiong Zhutou admonished: "Add a few more pots, you have brought so much grain and grass, even if you add ten mouthfuls, there are enough dead people in Quanjiang." ”

Shake one’s head.

Jiang Xuan still refused.

This time, he brought 30,000 loads of relief grain, a total of 3 million catties.

But the question is, in the face of these hundreds of thousands of victims, how long will three million catties of food be enough to eat?

Ten days.

Half a month.

Or a month?

You must know that this is the grain snatched from the Gao family, and the real imperial court relief grain is still in preparation.

If you let go of eating, within half a month, it will be good that the relief grain of the imperial court can reach Longhua.

What to do if you can't get there.

Do you want to rob the family again?

I don't want to say it though.

But when it's time to decide, you have to decide.

And queuing is also a kind of screening, Jiang Xuan called this: 'The fittest survive, and the weak are eliminated.' ’

"These two bags are salt, and each bag has a hundred catties."

"Add some when cooking porridge, otherwise long-term salt deficiency will lead to osteoporosis and general weakness."

Look at the smoke rising and the twenty cauldrons.

Jiang Xuantou didn't look back and ordered: "Senior Brother Huangfu, you worked hard a few days ago, these victims were hungry, some people may not want to queue up, you have to help them set up rules." ”

As for how the rules are established.

Jiang Xuan didn't say it, because in troubled times, Huang Fuqi would not understand this truth.

"Quanjiang's Kong County Order is a wine Mengzi."

Huang Fuqi said on the side: "I think that among these officials in Quanjiang, the bear catcher is quite useful, and now he doesn't understand the reason why you do this, senior brother, I think it's better to find a chance for me to talk to him." ”

Jiang Xuan did not agree, nor objected, but talked about other things: "In private, you contact those errand officers in the county government, ask them what they think of the peace road, and then ask if there are any impressive things in Quanjiang County in the past half a month." ”

Huang Fuqi whispered: "County Cheng, the master bookkeeper, master, and those inspections..."

"There may or may not be those who have peace, who knows." Jiang Xuan didn't care about this: "Let the wind blow for a while, and blow the fishy smell here first." ”

Huang Fuqi thought for a moment and sighed: "Senior brother is really merciful. ”
