This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang had such a big reaction when Lao Qin Tou mentioned food before.

In this troubled world, as long as there is food, you have people's hearts, territory, army, and even wealth.

If the food is cut off, there may not be much of a problem in the short term, but after a long time, who can guarantee that the underfed army will not rebel? And who can guarantee that the soldiers who themselves cannot eat enough will die for their leaders?

"Don't worry, general, if the general can trust me, you can bring a hundred soldiers to follow me to respond to the sky first, I have more than a thousand loads of food hidden in the city god temple there, although it is not much, but it can also solve the general's urgent needs. After Lao Qintou finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth that was originally smiling from ear to ear was a little sluggish, and he thought that he had heard it wrong, and then thought back again and again, confirming that Lao Qintou was talking about a thousand loads of grain, not anything else.

Although there are a lot of more than 1,000 loads of food, he now has an army of more than 10,000 people, and this bit of grain is enough to eat for a month, not counting the share distributed to the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought so in his heart, but his face was silent, he still had a smile, but his enthusiasm decreased.

Old Qin Tou saw through the thoughts in his heart, but he didn't break it.

In addition, Old Qin Tou remembered that it was Cheng Huang Ye who seemed to be muttering something when he said this, and judging from his face, he seemed to be a little embarrassed.

But seriously speaking, when Zhang Yixian explained these to Lao Qintou, he was really a little embarrassed in his heart, but when he thought that he had just been almost struck by lightning, his heart, which originally did not intend to interfere with history, rose again.

This time, he not only had to do some big things, but also told Zhu Yuanzhang some words in advance.

In history, Zhu Yuanzhang also met a wise man Zhu Sheng at about this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang admired his knowledge, vision, and life experience, so he opened his mouth to ask for advice, and he was even more willing to be cheeky and respectful.

Zhu Sheng was also unambiguous, summing up his perception and analysis of the entire historical grand view over the past decades into nine words.

It is the phrase "accumulate grain, build a high wall, and slowly become king" is a well-known saying in later generations.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang can become the same as Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Empire, from the history of the real ancestors who were poor people to the founder of a glorious empire, and this sentence has played a great role.

Not only that, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't look at him as honest, but he has some women's careful perception.

Coupled with a Queen Ma who knows how to be sophisticated, there are really many people who can work hard for him.

"The general doesn't need to worry, this food is enough for a month, and after a month, my husband will definitely be able to come back, he will definitely have a way to solve it, if the general sees my husband, he will definitely understand." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed a detail, when Lao Qin Tou mentioned his husband, there was some blind awe and confidence in his eyes.

He didn't know where Old Qin Tou came from this kind of faith that was close to faith.

"It's okay, let's send someone to follow my husband back. Zhu Yuanzhang knelt down again, anyway, many people are not to blame.

This is what he learned when he was a monk in Huangjue Temple, if he didn't know how to adapt to that environment and understood the world, he would have starved to death as a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Well, I probably haven't been back for a long time. I wonder if the general is with me or not?"

"I'm busy with official business here, and I can't keep busy with tens of thousands of people, so let my sworn brother Xu Da accompany you on a trip. ”

"Good. ”

After finalizing some detailed procedures, the two of them chatted about family life.

When it came to the work in the field, Zhu Yuanzhang was actually a little more meticulous than Lao Qintou, which surprised him a little, but when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang's family was forced to die by taxes because of the Yuan Court in order to contribute to the birth of the concubine, and his brother also left the last thirteen grains, Lao Qintou actually sighed in his heart.

The two of them kept talking about the length of the family, after eating, and arranging a residence, Zhu Yuanzhang left the county government, went west, came to the place where the military camp was stationed, and found Xu Da, who was inspecting military discipline.

After some discussion, Xu Da selected some reliable and powerful soldiers from the thousands of people guarding Fengyang, made sufficient preparations, and also gave a guarantee that Zhu Yuanzhang could put his mind at ease.

And just as the sky was dusk and the sun was falling, and it was in a parallel line with the distant horizon, a clearly visible golden yellow light cluster fell from the sky, carrying a thick dragon qi from the sky slowly, and finally fell straight in one direction.

"Woo, woo. A loud cry of a baby was heard.

In the city of Haozhou, in a spacious three-entry compound and a main house, Wen Po just took out the wrapped baby.

Outside the house, a middle-aged lady and a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament stood beside a good-looking young man.

"Congratulations, this is Young Master Sun. ”

"Haha, my son has a queen. Go, let the housekeeper take some happy money and give it to the servants at home, and in addition, buy some good supplements to treat my good daughter, besides, Yuan Zhang's side will not be busy informing him, man! The elegant middle-aged man looked happy, and took the lead in taking the baby in the hands of Wen Po, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

The expression on the face of the young man standing on the side changed when he saw this scene, and he became even more gloomy, and the look in his eyes was even more unhappy.

Immediately afterwards, there was news in Haozhou City that Guo Zixing and Guo Dashuai's goddaughter gave birth to a son, and everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it.

People who know the inside story are dismissive of this, and only some generals who are good friends with Guo Zixing send some congratulatory gifts.

On Qingtian Mountain, in a beautiful Wangfeng Pavilion, a middle-aged Confucian with black hair and long beard held a half-scroll of Analects, looking at the sun gradually setting in the sky, the five fingers in his hand moved, and then his eyes flashed, and then he shook his head and sighed.

"The sun is thin, it is really providence, the dragon is full of energy, but when the sun is thin, this shows that this real dragon has the appearance of the son of heaven, and there is no destiny of the son of heaven. The middle-aged Confucian scholar who was holding a half-scroll of Analects sighed, looked at the Qingtian Mountain around him, and gradually walked down.

Not long after, dressed in white, dressed as light as the wind, and looking like the wind, the euphemistic figure in the low pavilion smelled the air intoxicated in the place where the middle-aged Confucian stood just now, and let out a loud voice: "Liu Bowen, sooner or later, one day I will let you go back with me obediently and serve in front of you!"

This voice is as soft as the wind, full of confidence, and people can't help but get goosebumps, this timbre is actually a man's voice.
