Chapter 104: Food Blocked
The summer rush is getting closer and closer, and the fortifications of the county's fields have slowly stopped, and Qiantai suddenly has a whim, so he wants to take advantage of the short leisure before the summer rush to check the fields in the county.
Driving out of Houfu, the road was opened by the soldiers, and it was dozens of miles away from the county seat.
All the people in the Houfu went all the way to the fields passing by to inspect the excavated land, and the excavated fields were loose and deep, and the wild grass on the land had already been burned.
There are so many arid fields in this area that they can be turned into living fields as long as they have enough water to eat after the summer is busy.
Unlike everyone else, Qiantai held a pair of fortification drawings in his hand, carefully checking whether it was compared with the underground river system.
Later, the crowd came to a hillside terrace, and this land was the driest of the land.
Qiantai compared the drawings and led everyone to a mountain pass. Hou Ye was mysterious, which made a group of officials behind him very confused.
At the col on the edge of the terraced fields on this hillside, Qiantai found that the location of these fields was mostly similar to the 'subterranean flow map' he had given before.
Qiantai handed the drawings to Liu Boxi beside him with satisfaction, casually beckoned the guards on the side, and ordered: "Dig up the soil and rocks in the grain col, dig five feet down for me to see." ”
When a group of wrestlers heard the order, they took their weapons one after another and collapsed the rocks.
There were also Qianming and Qin Tieshu, and everyone stood on the ridge to watch the people below busy. Everyone can't see through Hou Ye's thoughts. Qianming called out to Qiantai in a puzzled whisper, and Qiantai bowed his hand and told him not to make a noise and just watch.
Qiantai also frowned and looked at the soldiers below who were busy with you, and he didn't know if it could really be as he expected.
Slowly the land was dug up, and the soil became more and more moist as it went, and at this time, everyone on the ridge also understood Hou Ye's thoughts, and Gu Du stared nervously at the wrestlers digging below.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look, there's water!"
Everyone could see that when the wrestlers dug four and a half feet below, a small spring of water appeared in the soil.
Qiantai's eyes were also pleasantly surprised, and the wrestlers below couldn't help but increase their digging efforts.
The bottom layer of soil is peeled off, and the small spring water continues to grow larger, and a patch of water appears at the bottom of the pit. Lux dug down two more handfuls of muddy water, and the water rushed out, and a puddle of water and a stream suddenly appeared in the col.
At this time, everyone on the ridge was very excited, and the wrestlers rushed up and shouted to Qiantai: "Lord Hou, there is a mountain spring buried in the mountain below, which has been dug up by the brothers!"
"Well, it's possible, let people refill the underneath. Qiantai ordered.
The people on the ridge were even more excited, and everyone bowed down together and said: "Congratulations to the waiting master, the great government will be completed, and it will be loved by the people, and the merit will be in the future!"
Qianming on the side was even more excited, since water can be dug up here, how many fields have been dug up in the entire Zhuo County, if these lands are like here, how many people will be favored by the Houfu, and how much power will this bring.
Later, they went all the way to inspect the nearby farmland where crops were about to ripen.
Summer is busy, because the grain fields in this county are supported by the temple of Jixian County in the later period, the whole Jixian County has been beautiful in recent months, and the crops in the nearby wheat fields are growing very well.
The month before the summer rush is the period when the crops grow and increase the grain, and this year's weather is particularly good, so it can be said that it will be a bumper harvest year if nothing goes wrong.
Qiantai was taking Liu Boxi and a doorman from the house to check in the field, and suddenly, Wufang in the house took two maids and sat in a carriage with Shi Lai by the coachman, and 'just happened' to meet Qiantai and others who were inspecting the fields.
Since the people came, Qiantai could no longer drive the woman back, so he had to take Wufang and her maid along the road together.
In summer, the flowers and plants are splendid, the wheat fields on both sides of the official road are open, and the Qiantai, Wufang and maidservants on the carriage also enjoy this beautiful scenery and the occasional journey accompanied by men and women.
Everyone looked at Qiantai who was checking all the way and the woman who accompanied him, she was really a talented woman. These people also have to agree that such a charming and youthful woman who has no time is only worthy of Hou Ye.
As Qiantai's younger brother Qianming, he admired this woman for daring to pursue Qiantai, and the royal brother was really not close to a woman.
Along the official road, the carriage and horses walked around Jixian County, and along the way, Qiantai would also ask his subordinates to invite some farmers to the car for questioning and discussing the political affairs of the county with his subordinates.
At noon, the county Qianzhige suddenly came to report the news from Princess Yuyao, the capital division, that Qiantai had played Qianlai, Yuan Shao and others, and now the emperor's will had already been handed down, Yizhou Taishou was fined Yulu, and the county guard of Liaodong County was acquitted because of the order of the military department.
And Qianzhi Ge told Qiantai that the grain sent by the Chenghuang faith support in Yizhou was blocked, and now Yizhou Taishou Qianlai has ordered and colluded with the border army to prevent the later batch of money and grain from passing through Yanmen Pass.
When Qiantai heard this, he was furious, and immediately took people back to his house to find the law overnight.
The immaculate on the carriage was even more angry, she finally found an opportunity to get close to Hou Ye, but she was interrupted like this. When he returned to the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye had to be busy with political affairs again, and it was not easy for him to ask to see him again.
The flawless maid scolded Qianlai and the court, and the emperor was mediocre, and Yizhou was too guarded to die.
All the people set up their horses and hurried back to the county.
On the way, for Qianlai's blatant revenge on himself and the injustice of the new emperor, Qiantai could only say to himself in his heart: "The world is going to die, and there is nothing to do." ”
After returning to Houfu, Qiantai's subordinates were helpless. Considering that the Yanmen Guards would be the Yu family of the Confucian masters in the north for generations, Qiantai urgently sent a message to the 'Meng family', known as the third Confucian holy land in Beijing, to ask for help.
Later, Qiantai asked the doppelganger to send down an oracle, and asked the temple Zhu in Taishan County, Yizhou, to prepare money and food in case he tried to buy the Yanmen guards.
However, fortunately, the Meng family in Beijing did not disappoint Qiantai, and Yuyao came forward to say to Meng Qingshu, the eldest son of the Meng family, that he had obtained a letter written by the head of the Meng family to Yu Wu Neng, the guard general of Yanmen Gate, and the head of the Yu family, a Confucian in Bingzhou.
A few days later, the letter reached Taishan County, and Yan Du sent Miao Zhu to bring money and money to meet the head of the Yu family, that is, Yu Wu Neng, the guard of Yanmen.
In the end, the temple of Taishan County finally bought the Yanmen Guan Yu family. After reaching a tacit agreement with Yu Wu Neng, the grain transported from the north went to the mountains outside the Yanmen Pass in the north of Yizhou, and the border army in the north covered and let these temples steal into Youzhou. Yu Wu can ask for this, but he also wants to let go of Qiantai and at the same time does not want to offend Yizhou Taishou Qianlai on the surface.
The money and grain team entered Youzhou from the east of Yanmen Pass, crossed the territory of Lelang from the western mountain road of Xiaye, entered Zhuo County and Lu County and went down the Heishui River to Jixian County.
A few days on the way, Yuan Shao, the county guard of Liaodong County, also wrote to the county guard of Lelang County, forcing Lelang officials to prohibit the passage of these grains and grasses. Lelang's people didn't dare to offend Yuan Shao, and they also didn't want to make trouble with Jixian Hou in Zhuo County, and in the end, Qiantai got this batch of thick southern support as he wished.
This time it was the largest amount of money and food that the doppelganger Yan Du had prepared for the deity, and it would not be so much support in the future, after all, the entire Yizhou City God Temple also needed money and manpower. This time, he brought a total of 200,000 loads of grain, 600,000 taels of gold, and 6,000 soldiers of faith to escort them all the way.
At the same time, after a few days, the summer harvest has officially begun. Moreover, Qiantai also let 6,000 soldiers stay in the county and make preparations secretly.
