Chapter 273 Secretly storing grain
Yang Hu handed Diao Yuzhu's letter to Yang Lu, "Everything is done according to your sister-in-law's wishes, tomorrow you take my talisman, secretly go to the black cavalry camp, and lead them to buy wood and planks to build a shed. Iron wire and other items, let the dealer transport to the outside of the royal capital, pile up in the sixteen cities to receive the wood place, smuggle up to the top of the Black Mountain at night, according to your sister-in-law's drawing, build a hundred greenhouses, each greenhouse can hold 100 million catties of grain, come back to me after drying, let me start collecting grain, during this period of the year, the food of the black cavalry camp will be doubled, and the cost will be ten times."
Yang Hu went to the ranch alone, accompanied by the supervisor, and personally told all the cavalry to change their mounts, and the money was unified by the state capital, and the source was the horses in their own horse herd, each family was limited to one, and the price was the same as the protection price of the grassland, but the retired horses belonged to the families of the soldiers, and they could also be sold to the state government, which was the same as the protection price, and the 10,000 cavalry was so excited that the state government bought a good horse at the price of two, and gave it to itself for free, how much did the cavalry earn? It's no wonder if you're not happy and crazy, and the state government buys livestock, starting from the day of the beginning of winter, and the specific purchase method will be determined.
Yang Lu is very capable, twenty days, all repaired, Yang Hu let him and the Black Cavalry Battalion rest for two days, the grain collection began on the third day, and the work of the Black Cavalry Battalion also changed from day to night, two hundred people are responsible for loading goods on the back of an eagle and an eagle, and eight hundred people are responsible for entering the shed on the top of the Black Mountain, even if they work overtime during the day, they have to transport all the grain from sixteen cities except the royal capital to the top of Montenegro, and the sale of pearls, Yang Hu can only go to Baishi Mountain to ask his eldest brother Yang Guangbang to be busy, because Yang Lu must transport grain," Fourth brother, how much money gap do you have?", "20 million taels is enough, there is still a surplus", "The eldest brother lends you 30 million, and when the sixth brother is free, sell the pearls and return them to the eldest brother, I will go back to the door of life and death tomorrow to get it, and put it in Zishi Mountain within five days, you can come and pick it up at any time".
Yang Hu calculated the capacity of the two flying beasts, each beast can transport 150,000 catties each time, but he is afraid of tired of the two of them, so, it is better to transport 120,000 catties each time, and it should be easy to transport 400 times per beast every night, because the flight is in the blink of an eye, if two hundred people are loaded, each person can pack six bags each time, two bags each time, it should be faster, in this way, 96 million catties can be transported every day, 10 billion catties can be transported before 10 billion catties, and it needs to be placed in the royal capital, and the people can transport it, if there is heavy snow blocking the road, it is a good thing, there is less snow when the harvest is less, but it can reduce the pressure of inventory and transportation, and then do it after the year, because the landlords of the Great Song Dynasty must pour out the cangku, and the buyers only have Wolf State, no hurry, no hurry.
The grain collection began, all the officials went into battle to distribute the grain money, and hired some local residents to help buy, each city could not receive seven million catties, because the people who paid did not go to the toilet did not eat and could not send more money, and Yang Hu was happy to see it, only two months, the heavy snow fell, the snow just fell three inches deep, Yang Hu let 10,000 cavalry send 100,000 mobile troops and military supplies and snow removal furniture to the main official roads of the Great Song Dynasty, divided the main area by thousands of people, as soon as the snow stopped, the road was cleared, and after the dry, the cavalry sent each other, and continued to extend forward, and the money was distributed according to the amount of work, and it was doubled, ten days, in various official officesWith the help of merchants and enthusiastic people, all the main official roads of the Great Song Dynasty were cleared, and Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was very moved, and sent Sima Guang to send 150,000 silver to Yang Guang as an additional reward for the soldiers of Wolf State.
Received Chen Yulin sent someone to send dumplings, as soon as he looked at the appearance, he knew that this was from Diao Yuzhu's hand, and at that time, Yang Jiulang and Zheng Ling rolled the skin together, and there was still a little bit of Diao Yuzhu buns, from the beginning of receiving the dumplings, the brothers and sisters had three meals a day to let the next person steam, decoction and fry to change the pattern to eat, and never eat anything else, the two flying beasts also followed the master every day to improve their lives, and they had not finished eating until the 26th Wolf State closed for the holiday in Lunar Month.
Due to the heavy snow that sealed the path of the Great Song Dynasty, plus the grain to be released to the outside world in the royal capital, only 8.7 billion catties were collected, but the brothers were already very satisfied, Yang Hu thought about it, and asked various cities to issue documents, Wolf Prefecture stopped collecting grain, and the royal capital greenhouse left 1.1 billion catties, and the top of Montenegro secretly stored 7.6 billion catties, not only the eldest brother's money was not used, but also the remaining 7 million, Yang Hu asked Yang Lu to bring 8.5 million to Diao Yuzhu, and took his parents back to Yangjiazhai for the New Year. Yangjiazhai's 8.5 million, it's better to give it to grandpa by yourself, and sell the remaining debts slowly to pearls.
Since sending dumplings to Yang Hu in Wolf Prefecture, Diao Yuzhu has been smiling every day, and it took five days for the three of them to clear the snow on all the vegetable kilns, absorb the temperature of the sun during the day, and cover the original straw thick mat at night to keep warm, a total of less than thirty vegetable kilns, and the three of them finished it easily, and the vegetables in the kiln began to eat after sweeping the snow, corn and edamame, When Yang Lu arrived at Sanssouci Island, it was the afternoon of the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Diao Yuzhu asked Yang Lu to eat quickly, and asked him to immediately send the New Year's gift and 8.5 million taels of silver tickets he prepared to the Diao family, and put fresh vegetables and corn, edamame, Peas and so on, put together, so as not to be frozen on the noodles, and when Yang Lu came back from Diao's house, it was already dark, because he told Yang Lu not to give any return gift from the Diao family before leaving, so he only brought back four sets of new clothes for the New Year and a New Year's red envelope of 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and Yang Jiulang and the three of them waited for Yang Lu to wash and comb before starting the meal.
Yang Lu was too tired today, so he went to sleep after eating for a while, "Uncle and aunt plan to go back that day, Zhu'er is so prepared", Diao Yuzhu asked softly, "On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, let Yang Lu rest for a day tomorrow, and we will go on the road the day after tomorrow." At breakfast the next day, Yang Lu began to talk about the life of the two brothers, especially about three dumplings a day, and couldn't stop drooling, "Sister Zhu packed fresh food for the sixth brother in the morning, and it would be good for you to leave until tomorrow morning."
Looking at the New Year's gift brought back by Yang Lu and occupying Yang Kairui's entire compound, the entire Yang family was speechless, while Yang Hu took all four sets of New Year's clothes and went back to his room, and didn't come out until dinner. Yang Jiulang and Zheng Ling went to Sanssouci Island on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
Sent away the three members of the Yang family and left, Diao Yuzhu forgot Yang Hu's gift in a daze, and did not have the courage to open it, she took a bag of spiced peanuts made by herself, and took a mixed bowl of edamame and peas with hot salt water, while drinking wine, while looking at the sea in a daze, the last ruthless, opened the package, a big red envelope appeared in front of him, written on the three words "New Year's money", opened it and looked, it was six thousand taels, Diao Yuzhu smiled happily, and drank again, but still did not have the courage to open the box under the red envelope.
