Chapter 1148: A Family Is To Be Together
"Fifty thousand stones, ah......" Lin Muyu was silent.
Situ Xue was stunned: "What, do you think it's too little?"
"I originally thought that I could copy at least 100,000 stone of ......" Lin Muyu said with a clenched eyebrow: "We want to supply 300,000 troops of grain and grass, and we need to consume 30,000 to 40,000 stones of grain and grass this day, and the 50,000 stones you copied are only enough for one day's consumption, and it is far from enough......"
"yes. Feng Jixing nodded and said: "It's just a pity that the millions of stone grains and grass in Xiping Mansion have been burned, otherwise it will be enough for our army to stay here for a month......"
Ding Xi on the side hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates will take out the gold coins of the Xiping Mansion treasury to raise and buy food from the people, and I hope it can be used." ”
"It's so hard. Feng Jixing said: "The Tianji Empire has also fought for a long time, and the food has long been consumed. ”
Situ Xue said: "My lord, I heard that there is a grassland twenty miles south of Xiping City, where there are several large pastures, which used to be the property of several gentry, and were later taken over by the state by Yangshang, so it is better to ...... How about sending people to the pastures overnight to drive cattle and sheep over as food for the army?"
"It's a solution, go for it right away. ”
"Yes!"
As soon as Situ Xue left, a group of people sat in the hall with sad faces, just drinking tea one by one.
"What now?" Lin Muyu looked at Ding Xi and said, "Ding Shuai, you are the commander of the quartermaster department, can you say something...... I don't care, you're going to get me food anyway. ”
Ding Xi couldn't cry or laugh: "The last general is also a newcomer, are you my hands and eyes open to the sky, and I don't care if this kind of thing should be said by you, the commander of the three armies!"
After speaking, Ding Xi sighed and said: "It's really not possible, and I can only send the army to conquer several surrounding states and counties as quickly as possible to raise food, Xishan Province has been operated by Sikong Yao for many years, and it stands to reason that it is a relatively wealthy province, and the granaries of the counties around the country are still full, Chen Yu burned a Xiping City, but he didn't have the energy to burn more counties." ”
"The need to consume food to attack the county is a big problem in itself. "The way in the words of the enemy.
Ding Xi squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then there is another way, take enough gold and silver, and go to the villages and towns in various places to forcibly buy grain." ”
"That's not good, this is in conflict with the purpose of our constitution to govern the country, what will the people everywhere think of Her Royal Highness the Empress!" Lin Muyu shook his head and said: "This method is unpopular and must not be implemented." ”
Ding Xi spread his hands: "This can't do that, I don't want to do it, I'm the commander of the quartermaster's department, who of you has the ability, who will do it......"
Lin Muyu couldn't cry or laugh: "Don't, it's very difficult for us to pick on people like this!"
Ding Xi grinned and said, "That's it, Sikong Yao and Liu Buyi are more familiar with Xishan Province than us, but the two of them have taken people to get medicine, and they will discuss it when they arrive in Xiping City." ”
"That's all there is to it. ”
At this moment, Chu Yao came from the apse and said, "The Linghuo Division has prepared dinner, everyone can eat as much as you want, and everyone who wants to eat should come over." ”
"Good ......"
Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing stood up together, picked up the helmet on the table and followed Chu Yao to eat, Wei Qiu, Zhang Wei, Luo Yu, Xingxing and others glanced at each other, and immediately followed.
......
The entire apse is brilliantly lit, eight large tables are set up, and most of the commanders and commander-level generals eat here, and the dinner is very simple, there is no cook, it is a big pot of rice made by the Linghuo Division, but the physical exertion of everyone is too great, and the food is also fragrant, no one speaks, just bows their heads and eats violently.
Halfway through the meal, Sikong Yao and Liu Buyi came back.
"A-Yao, sit down and eat together. ”
Lin Muyu ordered someone to add a stool next to it.
After Sikong Yao sat down, he said with a sullen face: "Chen Yu, who killed a thousand knives, actually set fire to my Xiping Mansion and made me angry...... I have been in business for so long and have renovated it so many times...... I was planning to have a palace-like residence when Brother Ah Yu and Her Royal Highness the Empress came down, but now they are burned to black, and I am so angry!"
She didn't seem to want to eat too much, and stamped her feet.
Lin Muyu said: "Ah Yao, don't talk about these useless things, the most important thing now is grain and grass, Chen Yu burned down the granary of the treasury, and now we have no food cut off, and there is only one day's grain left, otherwise we will kill horses to satisfy hunger, do you have any way......? Are there any nearby cities and counties with a lot of grain and grass that are easy to conquer?"
"The matter of grain and grass......
Sikong Yao actually smiled, her smile was extremely sweet, and said, "Brother Ayu, you have to praise me more about this matter......
"Oh, why?" Lin Muyu was stunned, even Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, Feng Jixing, Qin Yan and others were very stunned, no one knew what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this Xiping County Lord.
Sikong Yao said with a smile: "A year ago, I ordered the construction of an imperial garden on the right side of Xiping City, which covers an area of half of Xiping Mansion, which is planted with all kinds of rare flowers and fruits, which can be called evergreen in all seasons, very beautiful, although there are no rockeries, but it can be regarded as a paradise." ”
"What's there to boast about this, do you praise you for being extravagant?" Lin Muyu was speechless.
"But ......" Sikong Yao tilted his head and smiled: "There is a huge cellar under this imperial garden, for more than a year, I have secretly purchased grain and grass from Xishan Province and Huoyuan Province and hoarded it in it, and it is my guards who are responsible for transporting and placing it, and no one knows that there is a cellar under this imperial garden, and there are 1.2 million stone grain and grass in the cellar." ”
"What?!"
Lin Muyu was so shocked that she stood up.
"I went to the Imperial Garden as soon as I entered the mansion just now, and sure enough, Chen Yu, a fool, just set fire to the Imperial Garden, but I didn't find that the only newly built pavilion in the Imperial Garden was the entrance to the cellar. How about it, praise me......" She pouted and invited pets, and she looked at the group of people who followed the wind and defended the enemy.
Lin Muyu was ecstatic, couldn't help but hug Sikong Yao, and said happily: "Ah Yao, you are the savior of the three armies, I thank you for the Great Qin Empire!"
Sikong Yao was hugged, her face was full of happy smiles, but when she saw Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi's two sisters-in-law looking at her like this, she immediately felt a little weak, stuck out her tongue, and apologized.
A few seconds later, Lin Muyu let go of Sikong Yao and said, "Wei Qiu, you immediately take someone to carry the grain and grass in the cellar." ”
"Yes, sir!"
Wei Qiu bit the steamed bun in his mouth, picked up the helmet and left.
Ding Xi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Xiping, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that I, the commander of the quartermaster's department, would be wiped out, Lin Shuai, can I breathe a sigh of relief now?"
"No, you still have to continue to raise grain and grass, 1.2 million stone is only enough for more than a month, don't forget, we will have 500,000 troops from Lingdong Province in the near future, and we need to prepare food before they come. ”
"Then how should it be raised......
"I don't care, if I do, I'll be the commander of the quartermaster's department. ”
"Phew......"
Ding Xi grinned and said to the generals on the side: "Third watch, after eating, immediately assemble our grain transportation team, and go to the surrounding villages and towns to scrape a layer of oil and water first." ”
Ding Sangen nodded: "Yes, Commander!"
Sikong Yao pursed his lips and smiled: "If you want more grain and grass, it is not difficult, if you are within a hundred miles of Xiping City, Jiaoyuan County, Shangchong County, Xiezhong County, as well as Jingyuan Chamber of Commerce, Tianyuan Business Alliance, etc., will have food, and the usual defenders of the three counties are less than 1,000 people, and you can deceive the city gate with my token, which is very easy to overcome, as for the Jingyuan Chamber of Commerce and Tianyuan Business Alliance, they all have old friends with our Bai Ze mercenaries, as long as we can get gold and silver, food will continue to flow to Xiping Mansion from various channels." ”
"Great!"
Feng Jixing smiled: "Ah Yu, this sister of yours is too powerful, I have a feeling." ”
"How do you feel?" asked Lin Muyu.
"If you get Sikong Yao, you will be able to get half of the Tianji Empire. ”
"Haha, actually, I feel that way too. ”
Sikong Yao's face turned red and said, "Brother Ah Yu left Bai Ze's mercenaries to me and let me do things, I must not let him down, and I must do things well, otherwise I will call the Sikong Yao of Tianji Sect in vain!"
Lin Muyu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Ah Yao, how is the Tianji Sect now?"
"Hey, it's not good. ”
Sikong Yao was a little sad and said: "Since Grandpa flew to the outer heavens, the main altar of the Tianji Sect was destroyed by the Yangshang faction, and a large number of people from the Tianji Sect have been left in the rivers and lakes, and now I don't know how many people are still facing the Tianji Sect." ”
"Why don't you rebuild the Tianji Sect General Altar in Xiping City?"
Lin Muyu groaned and said: "From now on, the new sect master of the Tianji Sect will tell the world that you will invite the disciples of the Tianji Sect to go to Xiping City to serve the Tianji Sect and the Great Qin Empire, so that you can not only win the hearts of the people, but also attract a group of soldiers with good skills for the Great Qin Empire, what do you think?"
Sikong Yao pursed her lips: "You have the idea of fighting Tianji Sect again, Brother Ayu, do you want to let A-Yao's net worth and life accompany you to play this game in the world?"
"We've been tied together for a long time. Lin Muyu said with a smile.
Qin Yin said: "Ah Yao, don't worry, the Great Qin Empire will never forget your exploits, and Ah Yu launched this war only to protect himself, in order to calm the war, once the war subsides, the entire Tianji Continent will be governed by you, so you should rest assured." ”
"I, I hate governing the country, I want to travel with Brother Ayu and my two sisters-in-law. Sikong Yao blinked.
"Ouch, there's a new person on the team. Feng Jixing said with a smile.
Sikong Yao was stunned: "What do you say, Wind Commander?"
Feng Jixing said: "Because Ah Yu agreed earlier, once the war is over and order is restored, he will take his two daughters-in-law, plus my eldest brother, Chu Yao, and Xiyan, two sisters, to travel the world together, and not ask about the world, and now with you, isn't there a new person in the team to join?"
Sikong Yao couldn't help but smile sweetly: "So, we are just a big family?"
"yes......"
On the side, Ding Xi smiled and said, "You guys are really important in the entire universe!"
