From the Yangtze River upstream, take Xinye to the north to Luoyang, plus a few days ago, the south is redundant and the river is wide, you can travel day and night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info hundreds of miles of river, the grain fleet under the leadership of Gao Zheng set off from Chaisang, and the Gaojialou ship with a large amount of grain and grass in Yangxi took only two days to go up the river to Xinye.

In Xinye, he unloaded grain and grass non-stop again, and then set off for Luoyang.

In the Xinye Government Office, Gao Zheng and the Xinno Prefectural Commander are checking the statistical report of grain and grass

The county commander sighed, "Fortunately, in the past few years, the wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River have been smooth, and the grain has been harvested every year, so that there is grain and grass to help other states and counties."

Gao Zheng also nodded, "What Bi County Ling said is very true, this time Jingzhou and Yangxi have transferred more than 400,000 stone of grain, and they have withdrawn so much grain in the Lianghu area in one go, and I am afraid that the autumn harvest in the north will also be broken, and we will readjust the grain and grass, of course, this is a later story, and now we will solve these things first"

At this moment, Gao Zhong is with Shaoyuan in Jianye's temporary grain and grass, taking inventory of the mountains of grain and grass.

"Ah Cong, this is my statistical sheet over there" Shaoyuan sent a statistical table to Gao Pet, who was sitting on the desk, and Gao Pet breathed a sigh of relief, "So that the first batch of 30,000 grains is finally loaded"

Shaoyuan stood beside Gao Pet and asked, "Ah Pet, are all these grains going to be transported to Luoyang?"

Gao Zhong shook his head, "No, you only need to transport 120,000 to 130,000 stones to Luoyang, and the rest of the grain will be distributed to various states and counties in the Central Plains."

Shaoyuan wondered, "Shaoyuan, why is it so strange that there is grain in the south of the Yangtze River, but there is no grain in the three states of the Central Plains?"

Gao Chong shrugged his shoulders, "The south is originally two crops a year, so it is naturally easier to have grain storage, but the Central Plains and Hebei are both one crop a year, plus there are many people in the Central Plains, and the wind and rain are just enough to eat, if you encounter a drought like this year, you can only wait for the imperial court to help." By the way, Shaoyuan, when are you going to leave for Luoyang?"

Shaoyuan patted Gao Pet's shoulder, "Ready, when will you leave?"

At this time, a herald came, and when he arrived in front of Gao Chong, he arched his hand, "Master Gao, Lord Hou and the county commander have something to discuss with you"

Gao Chong nodded, "Got it, I'll go over right away, Shaoyuan, call Brother Wu, then let's go back"

Xinye County Ya

"Father, Lord County Commander, are you looking for anything from me?" Gao Zhong asked when he arrived at the county office

Gao Zheng put down the scroll in his hand and asked, "Darling, how is the grain and grass counted?"

"Father, the first batch of 50,000 stone grain and grass has been loaded and can be set off at any time"

Gao Zheng stroked his beard and smiled, "Master Bi, how about acting according to our plan?"

The county magistrate smiled and said, "Just follow the plan of the Hou Ye"

Gao Zheng suddenly looked serious, "Gao Zheng obeyed the order, and now I will allocate 1,500 soldiers to you for my father, and I want you to be the vanguard immediately, and transport these grains and grass to Luoyang first."

Gao Zhong was shocked, "1,500 people, 30,000 stones?!"

Gao Zheng: "Do you have any objections?"

Gao Pet knew that his father was not asking for his opinion, so he could only stubbornly say "The child obeys"

Gao Zheng waved his hand, "Go down and prepare, and set off tomorrow at noon"

Out of the county office, Shaoyuan and Wu Xu saw that Gao Zhong was depressed, so they asked, "Was scolded by Lord Hou?"

Gao Pet shook his head, "It's worse than scolding, my father wants me to use 1,500 people to transport 30,000 stone of grain and grass to Luoyang, this is 300 miles to Luoyang, there are countless displaced people on the road, 30,000 stone of grain team, it's good to be able to walk more than 20 miles a day, alas, it's a headache to think about"

Wu Xu was also surprised: "This ...... Hou Ye is going to test the young master, but this matter is so important, Hou Ye will really pick time"

Shaoyuan asked, "Ah Pet, how many guards do you need for these 30,000 stone of food?"

Gao Pet thought for a moment, "This distance, considering the current situation, five thousand people are barely strong, and about eight thousand people are the best, because there are too many people to guard, ah, annoying, you can only bite the bullet, you go back first"

Back in the inn, Xiao Yue was drowsy with her chin there, and saw Shaoyuan coming back, so she said, "Official, you're back"

Shaoyuan touched Xiaoyue's head, "Why don't you sleep yet, it's late to help Ah Pet take stock of the grain and grass, okay, you can go to bed early, we will leave for Luoyang tomorrow"

Half-asleep, suddenly ushered in a rapid knock on the door, Shao Yuan hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the door, only to see a little dart master said to Shao Yuan, "Mr. Lu, the fourth prince drove a grain truck out of the city, Hou Yetuo asked you, do you know where the fourth prince might go?"

Shaoyuan was taken aback and shook his head, but immediately said, "You wait for me, I'll go with you to find it."

The sleepy-eyed Satsuki asked, "Official, what's wrong?"

Shaoyuan kissed Xiaoyue on the forehead, "Go to sleep, I'll go out to do some errands, and I'll be back soon"

Shaoyuan walked on the street, obviously Gao Chong's behavior just now woke up many people, and lit candles in twos and threes. Strode to the place where the grain was stored, and gradually there were more soldiers, but the trouble was that they discussed this strange Gao Gongzi in twos and threes, and I don't know who spread the news that tomorrow it was this Gao Gongzi who would take 1,500 people to set off first, and everyone was worried that the first to set off would be attacked by the rogues and homeless, and now I heard that the leader was actually this Gao Gongzi. The words of the deserter spread, and everyone talked about this Gao Gongzi being a deserter, and everyone was in danger in an instant.

Shaoyuan couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard this, "Ah Pet, at this time, where did you go again...... , by the way, what about Brother Wu?" Thinking of this joint point, what Shao Yuan began to look for was not Gao Pet, he knew that if the two of them disappeared at the same time, it would definitely not be an escape, I was afraid that something big would happen, so Shao Yuan walked out of the camp and walked towards the city. At this time, a small dart master came over, and Shao Yuan recognized this dart master as Xiao Nan from Jiangxia.

Xiao Nan took out a letter by letter, "Lu Daxia, this is entrusted to you by Gongzi, I couldn't find you when I went to the inn just now, but I was in a hurry"

Shaoyuan took the letter, then flipped through it, and after reading it, he smiled bitterly, "You kid, is it dangerous to be so dangerous?" Okay, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman and play with you like this, Xiao Nan, how many guys are there in your Jiangxia Dart Bureau here?"

Xiao Nan thought for a while, "Count me, there are four, five people came, and Childe called one away"

Shaoyuan folded the letter and said, "Tell them to come here immediately, your son has given us a big enough task"

When the rooster crows the next day, the soldiers guarding the city changed their guards, "Great, the change of guards, I can finally sleep steadily, head"

The soldier on the side also yawned, "Yes, let's go and go home and sleep."

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look, there's a group of people coming over there, and the smoke is billowing out."

The head of the soldier opened his sleepy eyes, as if he had seen an incredible scene, and saw that the group of people were ragged, and at first glance they were homeless, and the number of them was actually more than 2,000. The head of the soldier shouted, "Close the city gate immediately, inform the county commander, quickly"

The news of the siege of the exiles immediately spread throughout Xinye City. However, Taishou is very calm, not to mention that this Xinye City has the number one general of the dynasty at this moment, Gao Zheng, even the food protection and city guards add up to more than 10,000 people, and it is not a vain to attack the city.

However, Gao Zheng's eyes lit up, "It's interesting, you dare to come to attack the city, Master Bi, let's go and see it together"

Gao Zheng walked up to the city, just to see who was so bold, but what he never expected was that the leader was his son, Gao Chong.

Gao Zheng rolled his eyes fiercely, knowing that this kid would never attack the city so boldly and rebelliously, but it was best to ask, "My son, why did you bring the homeless people here?

Gao Pet yelled, "Father, the child mortgaged the grain cart to them, they paved the road for the child for more than 20 miles last night, this, you have to pay for someone to work, but they don't want money, as long as the food, the child has been prepared overnight, at this moment is to come back and bring food to them, and at the same time let them rest for a while, the child will set off in the afternoon"

When Gao Zheng was about to reply, a small soldier ran up, "County order, Master Hou, there is a young man who claims to be Lu Shaoyuan with a few carts and says to send food to Gao Gongzi outside the city."

When Gao Zheng heard this, he walked quickly to the city and asked, "Shaoyuan, what is this?"

Shaoyuan pointed to a large number of bamboo baskets and said, "This is Ah Pet last night let us ask the store in the city to make it overnight, there are a lot of things, what rice crackers, fried rice, steamed buns, everything, basically what to do quickly, just to make it before dawn"

Gao Zheng nodded, and said to the county order, "Lord county order, then please send some soldiers to protect these grains, now I'm afraid that if there is food, they will be robbed."

The county magistrate nodded, "You wait to listen to the order and go out of the city with Lu Shaoxia."

The gate creaked open, and Shao Yuan and a few dart masters walked out with a few carts full of food, and all the homeless people immediately began to show longing eyes, and a small commotion began in the crowd.

I saw Gao Pet turn around and raise his palm, everyone immediately looked at Gao Pet, and then Gao Pet pressed his palm, and the two thousand homeless people all sat down quietly immediately.

Those soldiers who followed out of the city were also surprised, they were ready for battle, ready to be robbed by the homeless, and immediately retreated to the city, who knew that these homeless people were just showing a little restlessness, and Gao Zhong raised his hand lightly, and they were already crushed to death.

All this was seen in the eyes of Gao Zheng on the city tower, and Gao Zheng also showed a satisfied look, so Gao Zheng said to the soldiers, "Go and prepare some water for the people below, they must be thirsty and hungry after working all night."

The soldiers arched their hands and said, "We will obey the order."

The food was slowly distributed to the homeless people according to the principle of dividing the old and weak women and children first, and then the young and strong, and as buckets of water were sent out from the city, all the homeless people began to go after a meal and a night of fatigue.

Seeing this, Gao Chong said loudly, "You wait here for a little rest, and in the afternoon, you will continue to step on the road in the direction of Luoyang, rest assured, the food is enough!"

All the homeless people leaned on the city wall one by one and slowly fell asleep, and Gao Zhong found the person who led the homeless people, "Old village chief, our convoy will set off at about noon, you will be half an hour earlier than us, try to step farther, just go to the young and strong, the women and children will stay and help push the carriage, and return along the road after sunset, we will prepare porridge and water and wait for you"

The old village chief knelt down, "Thank you, old man, for your life"

Gao Chong shook his head, "Raise your hands, village chief, take a good rest, I'll go back to the city to take care of everything first"

Under the city gate, Gao Zheng stood with his hands in his hands, waiting for his son.

"My son went out of the city last night, but he went to find these homeless people?" Gao Zheng said with a smile

"Yes, father, because instead of guarding against these displaced people, it is better to directly use work for relief and let them help smooth the road, and the convoy behind is faster, and the food is lost on the road, so it is better to directly hire the displaced people to help push the cart and complete the road?"

Gao Zheng stroked his beard and laughed, "Yes, yes, my son has already achieved a little bit of success in governing a piece of land, but do I know that you have been rumored to be a deserter last night, I don't know how to lead these 1,500 soldiers after my son?"

Gao Zhong arched his hand and said, "Father is worry-free, the child has a clever plan, but at present, can you let the child rest first, busy all night, sleepy father"

Gao Zheng waved his hand, "Go, go, wait for my father to see your performance."
