The army's supply of food and grass is numerous, and it can't be missed in the slightest, and if you give 10,000 people a year's use, that's a year's use, not a single bit.

What do soldiers join the army for?

It's just that you can't survive in troubled times to join the army and fight, and you can pin your head to the trouser pocket on your waist, and you may die at any time, if you say you can't eat?

Just kidding!

If you can't eat enough, who will give you your life!

Zhang Bairen stroked the wine bottle, and said after a while: "Linqing is that family's territory?"

"Linqing is the territory of the Gao family, and the squires here are all headed by the Gao family! Half of the land in Linqing is also the Gao family!" Yang Yichen smiled bitterly: "It is not terrible to have a Gao family, but it is Tang Guogong who is terrible, and the Gao family is also a member of the Guanlongmen valve." ”

"It turned out that the Li family was supporting behind the back!" Zhang Bairen stroked his chin, and said after a while: "You and I will personally visit the door, and we will meet for a while The Linqing Gao family is already a squire." ”

"Sir is too much to exalt them! How noble is Sir, and a mere Gao family is also worthy of Mr. Deigning to be noble? Your Majesty will post here, please go to the flower building in the city to gather!" Yang Yichen said.

Zhang Bairen nodded: "You need to do everything, since I am meddling in Zhang Jin's affairs, I must do my best." ”

Zhang Bairen's post, in an instant, stirred up the storm in Lin'an City, in this troubled world, food is life, who dares to joke with his own life?

"Zhang Bairen? Hmph, even if Zhang Bairen can do what? This grain is the grain of my Gao family, can he still force me to open a warehouse and release grain?" The head of the Gao family is a man in his forties, with wide finger knuckles, obviously not an easy person.

"The head of the family, Zhang Bairen punished Zhang Jin yesterday and said that now it is unstoppable, so let's avoid its edge. Take out a little bit of the grain, and give him a step down!" said the butler in a low voice.

The eyes of the head of the Gao family were full of disdain: "My grain is my grain, even if I sue Your Majesty, the grain is still mine! What can he do? If he doesn't hear anyone say it, he can force others to open a warehouse and release grain." ”

The eyes of the head of the Gao family were full of disdain.

Listening to the words of the head of the Gao family, the steward immediately smiled bitterly. How did Zhang Bairen's reputation come about?

That is a name that has been killed, and how can it be tarnished casually?

As he was talking, a servant ran in in small steps: "Master, the squires in the city can't sit still, everyone has received an invitation from Zhang Bairen and wants to see the master." ”

"Oh, lead them to the lobby and wait, I'll go over!" The head of the Gao family smiled when he heard this, and turned to look at the steward: "This Linqing is the Linqing of my family after all, who wants to waste their own food to save those dogs." ”

After speaking, he walked quickly into the hall, looked at the people in the field, and saluted with his fists: "Everyone, it's polite." ”

"I've seen Master Gao! I've seen high-ranking officials!"

After the head of the Gao family sat down and invited everyone to sit down, a maid brought tea and put it down, and Master Gao sighed softly: "Everyone, that Zhang Bairen Xiao'er wants me to wait for the warehouse to be released, why do you call me?"

"Master Gao, this grain is our lifeblood, I don't know when the troubled times will end, if we release all the food, once my family is starved to death in the future, who will pity me and wait?" A squire's eyes were full of anger: "This grain is the food we got by our own ability, and it was not stolen, why did he say donate it." ”

"That's it! That's it! In this troubled world, I can only take care of myself, where do I still have the heart to save others!" A group of people scolded,

"This grain affection is not his Zhang Bairen's, he wants to do good deeds, even if he finds food himself, why should he take our food to be kind!" another squire scolded.

"There is no food at all, even if I die, I will never hand over a grain of food!"

"That's it, this food is the dependence of our whole family, how can we say that we can take it out!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Gao, you better say something! We are all headed by you in Linqing, you can say something!" Everyone looked at the head of the Gao family.

"This food is the key to our survival in the troubled times, asking for food is asking for my life, everyone wants your life, do you say you will give it!"

"I'm not stupid, someone wants my life, naturally this food won't be given!" everyone in the audience laughed.

Day 2

Drunken Flower Building

Linqing also has a drunken flower building

Drunken Flower Building chartered, all the squire families of all sizes in Linqing gathered, sitting quietly in the hall and waiting for Zhang Bairen's arrival.

Approaching noon, I saw Zhang Bairen and Yang Yichen coming slowly and leisurely, boarding the drunken flower building.

"Yo, you're here early!" Looking at the dozens of people in the hall, Zhang Bairen slowly walked into the hall.

"I've seen the Grand Duke, I've seen General Yang!"

"Needless to say, the Poor Dao has removed his official rank, and now he has a white body, and he has nothing to do!" Zhang Bairen said as he sat directly on the main seat.

Waving his hand to signal everyone to sit down, he saw Zhang Bairen and said: "The day before yesterday, the poor road passed through Linqing, and I saw countless bandits here, killing people like hemp, the people were easy to eat, and the people were not able to make a living, and I felt quite painful in my heart. ”

glanced at the squires in the field, but saw all of them with fat heads and big ears, full of oily intestines, obviously eating meat and drinking wine on weekdays.

Everyone was silent when they heard this, and they never opened their mouths to cater to them, and made up their minds to ask Zhang Bairen to sing alone.

Seeing that no one responded, Zhang Bairen continued: "The governor of Pontus wants to borrow 10,000 loads of grain from you and return it in the coming year, what do you think?"

Everyone was silent when they heard this, Zhang Bairen fell on the head of the Gao family in the lead, and said by name: "The head of the Gao family, you are a local clan, you can say something!"

Seeing Zhang Bairen's direct roll call, the head of the Gao family knew that he couldn't drag it out, so he could only laugh and say: "Don't joke about it, the governor is in chaos, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain, where can I get the surplus grain to help those people." ”

"Do you really want to borrow it?" Zhang Bairen's face suddenly became gloomy when he heard this.

"Why do we want to lend it to the governor because we are not related to the governor?" The head of the Gao family also directly tore his face at this time: "If the governor wants to borrow grain, we will not borrow it, don't say ten thousand quintals, there is not a single grain." God knows that the governor suffered a catastrophe that day, wouldn't we have lost all our money? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bairen's face suddenly became gloomy, and Yang Yichen on the side was silent, not wanting to answer, nor wanting to fall out with the urban gentry of Lin'an.

"Do you really refuse to lend me food?" Zhang Bairen's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Do we have a friendship with the governor?" the head of the Gao family sneered.

"No!" Zhang Bairen's face was calm.

"Are you related?" the head of the Gao family asked again.

"No!" Zhang Bairen's eyes were blank.

"But old friends?" the head of the Gao family asked again.

"It's not!"

"Well, since we are not related to each other, why do we borrow your food? Is it because you have cultivated to a high level?"

"You still don't understand the rules of the troubled times! The day before yesterday, Zhang Jin said that he was executed, and the chaotic party under his command dissipated, what would be the consequences if he suddenly ran into Linqing City and ransacked it?" Zhang Bairen smiled, his smile was very flat, but his words were terrifying.

"You're threatening me and waiting!" The head of the Gao family changed color, and the squires also changed color.

"It's just a possibility," Zhang Bairen said unhurriedly.

"This is Linqing City, this may never happen!" The head of the Gao family smiled coldly: "The Gate Valve Family will never be threatened by anything!"

After finishing speaking, he actually brushed his sleeves and left, and all the squires stood up and walked away one after another, and the hall became empty in an instant.

"The gate valve family, it's really good! It's really good!" Zhang Bairen smiled coldly.

"Sir, what should I do?" Yang Yichen smiled bitterly.

"The gate valve family prides itself on being high, looking down on everyone for too long, and really thinks that the fate of the people in the world is in their hands?"

Zhang Bairen slowly stood up, playing with the scorpion essence in his hand, and now after decades of cultivation of Zhang Bairen's essence, the scorpion essence is getting smaller and smaller, becoming the size of a thumb, and it seems to be a crystal in his hand.

"What is the Governor going to do?" Yang Yichen said in a low voice.

"You go and gather the soldiers and horses, and tonight you will slaughter the landlords and squires in Lin'an City, the family of the gate valve! I have already torn the skin with the family of the gate valve, how can I have any scruples! Since he thinks that I dare not do it, then I will just do it to show him" Zhang Bairen's eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Dudu, think twice! Once you really offend the gate valve family and do this kind of taboo thing, there will be no room for maneuver between Mr. and the gate valve family in the future!" Yang Yichen heard a stirring spirit.

"Don't be verbose, go and gather the troops and horses quickly!" Zhang Bairen said.

"The garrison of Linqing City is in the hands of the gate valve family, and if you want to enter the city at night, I'm afraid it will not be easy," Yang Yichen said with a slight hesitation.

"I have my own plan!" Zhang Bairen smiled coldly.

"There is no relatives and no reason, it is just right to kill non-friends and non-friends, I only thought about asking you to wait for food, but now it seems that I can only accept all the lives that I have to take with you!" Zhang Bairen sneered, his eyes were full of murderous intent: "You are so excited, if I don't do something, I'm afraid I can't live up to your words." ”

Zhang Bairen and Yang Yichen went out of Linqing City, and the head of the Gao family and all the squires gathered together, the wine and meat were fragrant, and they ate a mouth full of oil.

A guard stepped forward and said, "Family master, that Zhang Bairen and Yang Yichen are out of the city!"

"Hahaha!Hahaha! What kind of lifeless sword, what kind of bullshit is the first sword in the world, I won't borrow that food, what can he do? What can he do!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

The laughter in the hall spread unscrupulously.

"What Zhang Bairen, it turned out to be a gutless rat!"

"Yes, the grain is in my hands, what is he!"
