"Wow, Ah pet, what are you buying so much for, Bingluo only has one head, can you wear so much jewelry?" Looking at Gao Pet, who came over with a large bag of things, Shaoyuan said that he was very embarrassed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Gao Pet straightened the large and small boxes on his back, "Not only the box, but also the gadgets or something, just bring it back when the time comes, let him choose, by the way, do you want to buy something for Xiaoyue?"

Shao Yuan looked at Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue looked at Shao Yuan, the two looked at each other and smiled, Shao Yuan said, "Okay, okay, buy it in the next place, then what are you going to do with these things?"

Gao Pet shook his head, "Definitely not, I will put it down in a while, and transport it back to Chaisang, for sure"

Shaoyuan looked at Gao Pet, "Ah pet, looking at you like this, I am inexplicably relieved"

Gao Pet knew what Shaoyuan was referring to, so he just squinted his eyes and said, "Tuji tile dog, it's not worth mentioning"

Back at the official office at the granary, several ledgers were already lying peacefully in the main seat, and the soldiers and subordinate officials who were taking stock were resting at the moment. Seeing that his boss was back, he was about to get up and salute, but Shaoyuan pressed his hand, "No need, you have worked hard"

Gao Zhong picked up an account book, which was the account book of the county government, and browsed the account book at a glance. Then he picked up another book, which was the account book of their officials, and continued to look at it at a glance. After reading about half of it, Gao Zhong asked, "Is there a discrepancy in the number of military rations counted?"

An official arched his hand and said, "Lord Hui, after I checked, there is not much difference in the number of grain and grass, there is 20,000 stone of grain in Fanhe County, and the remaining grain and grass are 18,000 stones, and the gap of more than 2,000 stone of grain is old grain out of the warehouse, one out of ten, this is a normal value."

Gao Chong nodded, let the official follow him, and then Gao Chong put down the account book and said to Shao Yuan, "Shao Yuan, the account book is here, you also need to take a look, I'll go inside to see the situation first"

Shao Yuan nodded, "No problem", he is no stranger to taking inventory of grain and grass, and he also assisted Gao Pet in taking inventory of a larger amount of grain and grass before January.

In the depths of the grain and grass, Gao Pet touched the grain and asked, "What is the real situation?"

The official gave up his hand: "The grain storage this time is 20,000 stones, and it is true that there are 18,000 stones in terms of volume, but we found that there is a problem with the shape of the wooden shelves of some departments, which is obviously deliberate, in order to cover up the amount of grain and grass by covering up the eyes, so the real gap is about 3,000 stones."

Gao Pet frowned, "Take me to see those problematic grain trays"

The two shuttled through the depths of the granary, and when they reached a very inconspicuous position, the official pointed to several grain towers stacked with grain and grass in front of them. "These are the few"

Gao Pet picked up one of them, put it in his mouth and bit it, "It's new grain, but it's placed in such a deep place, so weird", and the grain tray where these grains and grass are stored is also very much, "Each grain tray is less than an inch higher than the traditional grain tray, and each grain tray is normally five inches high, so it turns out that "Gao Pet understands the doorway" This trick is really a way to cover your ears and steal the bell"

The official arched his hand and said, "In the past three years, the amount of grain and grass used to sell old grain was huge, so it was not obvious.

Gao Chong frowned and said, "Although the gap of three thousand is not a large number, it will not affect the consumption of the march, but after all, it is not well preserved, you wait to write it down first, don't make a noise, understand?"

The official gave his hand to "obey the order, and everything was obeyed"

The next day, the group continued their journey to the west, where there were three more counties and ten counties. Along the route is the prosperous Silk Road in the northwest. Although it is prosperous, it is already full of yellow sand, and it is not as good as the county towns in the Central Plains one after another.

Along the ancient road of the Great Wall, along the way and along the caravans, I saw a group of strange merchants, from whom they bought fresh and hot Western Regions, wine, and precious stones.

Along the way, a group of people also became acquainted, several inventory officials were born in the army, and a few people actually hummed the characteristic tune of the Western Regions, adding a bit of relaxation to the whole trip.

The first stop from Zhangye to Jiuquan in the west is Biaoshi. Along the way, the majestic Great Wall and beacon towers are gradually left behind, and through the long yellow sand, the not-so-tall city wall emerges from the horizon.

Dubo, who was in charge of the guide, pointed to the place and said, "Over there is one of the three county towns of Jiuquan, Fanhe."

Xiao Yue heard this name, and it was actually called Jiuquan, so she asked, "Brother Bing, why is this place called Jiuquan?"

Du Bo was stunned, this name is called by everyone, as for why it is called this, he doesn't know, and he is also a big-headed soldier, he doesn't know a few big characters, so he can only arch his hand and say, "Mrs. Xiaoyue, this question can't answer you in the next place"

Shaoyuan touched Xiaoyue's head and said, "It is said that in this Jiuquan County, there is spring water underneath, and the spring water tastes sweet, just like wine, so it is called Jiuquan."

Xiao Yue suddenly realized, "I see, is the spring water in this place really so sweet?"

Shao Yuan smiled, he naturally knew that this was a legend, but he wouldn't say it so bluntly, he just said, "When you enter the city, you can taste it and you will know, right?"

Gao Zhong asked, "The wind and sand here are so big, and the garrison here is really suffering them."

Du Bo also lamented, "The garrisons of Jiuquan are all built on the spot, and the population of Jiuquan County is not large, it is estimated that there are only four or five thousand households, which are distributed in three cities."

Gao Pet nodded, "Let's go, this place is too windy and sandy, let's hurry into the city"

Entering the city, everyone repeated the behavior in Zhangye once, the wind and sand outside, but the city was like a different scene, prosperous and vibrant, and there were green spaces and big trees.

In the center of the city is a water spring, this water spring is very clean, most of the people in the city drink water from this place, the source of life of the sandbar city is these springs, so not only the passing caravans, but also the local residents have protected the vicinity of the water spring, a huge spring is made of white marble that cannot be found here at all, and the bottom is divided into seven or eight water outlets, and everyone is taking water in an orderly manner.

Xiao Yue pulled Shaoyuan, "Official, I want to taste it and see if it's really as sweet as wine."

Shaoyuan nodded, anyway, there was nothing to do, Gao Pet went to the market to wander around again, so he took Xiaoyue to line up. At this time, a Hu merchant brought a team of people to the team next to Shaoyuan to line up to get water, and except for the leader, the team was actually wearing the same clothes, but everyone looked different, and there were also blond hair and blue eyes, and they were foreigners at first glance.

They were holding a few kettles and taking turns to fetch water, and they were talking to each other about the foreigners they didn't understand, and Xiao Yue looked at these people and felt so strange, "Official, why are these wearing the same clothes? I don't think this dress looks good at all."

Shaoyuan looked at it and shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe it's exotic."

Xiao Yue pouted, and suddenly the other side suddenly remembered the shout, and the horses of a caravan seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly broke free from the reins of the horses and rushed to Shaoyuan's side.

Shaoyuan's eyes were quick, and he picked up Xiao Yue and jumped aside, as soon as Xiao Yue sat down, he exclaimed, "Official, that girl is holding too many kettles and fell to the ground, she will be hit if she goes on like this."

Shaoyuan rolled his eyes suddenly, "Xiaoyue, you wait here, I'll save him", and then rushed to the pool with an arrow step.

said that it was too late, and the time was not enough for Shaoyuan to pick up the girl and leave, so Shaoyuan turned his heart sideways, used the method of shifting shapes and shadows, transported the internal force, stepped out of his right foot, used this as a support point, stretched out his right hand, grabbed the girl's right hand, and dragged the girl out with strong waist force, and then threw it aside.

The person was saved, but Shaoyuan was in danger, Shaoyuan could no longer adjust his posture to avoid the horses at this moment, and the audience shouted in shock, seeing that Shaoyuan was about to be knocked away by the galloping horses.

Who knew that Shaoyuan actually grabbed the reins of the horse lightly sideways between the lightning and flint, grabbed the reins with his back, and turned over on the horse.

The audience immediately exclaimed again, and many people present who controlled the horse sighed that Shao Yuan was worthy of being a master of art and bold, and they knew that Shao Yuan intended to control this fierce horse.

I saw Shaoyuan pulling the reins and horsemane, and the horse was in pain, so he immediately went up, intending to throw off Shaoyuan, Shaoyuan grabbed the horse's belly, and pulled the horse's mane again, giving the horse a painful memory.

When the horses saw that such a plan could not be achieved, they immediately jumped and ran, intending to use another method to throw off Shaoyuan, but Shicai never threw off Shaoyuan at such a moment's notice, what are these?

After breaking free for nearly a quarter of an hour, the fierce horse was the first to be exhausted, and he raised the sky and roared three times, expressing his submission to Shaoyuan.

Shao Yuan was very happy to win such a battle, clenched his fists, and rode around the spring on horseback. The land where the people are fierce will inevitably worship the strong, and the people who see it will all give Shaoyuan warm applause.
