Chapter 186: Borrowing Food Again, Surprise and Accident (2/2)

Early the next morning, Lu Guanying reported the official document overnight, and finally came back, very tired, Lin Tian went out of the house to pick him up and sent him to rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the study, he discussed things with Ding Yuan, he was in charge of the Fengxiang Army for the first time, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things, and the most anxious thing in front of him was: food!

When Yan Zhuo was finished, he only cared about himself and more than 100 high-ranking officers in the army, and the soldiers under him couldn't eat enough, so that the military training was wasted, and he fled to work, not to mention the ordinary Jurchen poor, all of them took their land, but the grain they collected did not have their share, they still needed to work by themselves, feed themselves, and live quite poor!

Lin Tian wants to seize the Fengxiang Army to the death, in addition to controlling the hearts of Jia Guchi, Wuyansi and others, he also needs to control the hearts of ordinary soldiers and civilians!

Of course, the army needs to train, but if the soldiers don't work, what do they eat? Once they train, their physical exertion increases greatly, so where can they get so much food?

Lin Tian looked at the documents in front of him, what was listed on the documents was the income of the Yan Zhuo family after copying, and the amount was huge.

Wanyan Zhuo has a house in Fengxiang Mansion, which occupies an area more than twice as large as the inner courtyard of Lingyunzhuang, in which there are rockeries and flowing water, carved beams and paintings, furniture and other items used are very valuable, and there are more than 30 singers and dancers for their lewd pleasure! There are also secret cellars, which contain gold and silver brocade! There are also thirteen rent-collecting facades in the city!

Lin Tian swept the document, sighed, and said: "The food and salary of the army and the people are all greedy for ink by Wanyan Zhuo and used for their own enjoyment, alas!~"

Ding Yuan said: "If the Hou Ye wants to firmly control the military power, he needs food, although his subordinates have a strategy, but I don't know if the Hou Ye is reluctant." ”

Lin Tian smiled and said, "Take these windfalls to buy food?"

Ding Yuan said: "Master Hou is wise and consistent with what his subordinates think. ”

Lin Tian shook his head and said: "If tens of thousands of people buy grain from the market, it will inevitably cause the price of grain to soar, which is harmful to the people, harmful to the people, and harmful to the people, it will damage the people's hearts, so this method is not appropriate!"

Ding Yuan smiled slightly and said, "You can buy it from the adjacent Lu Mansion." ”

Lin Tian still shook his head, and suddenly asked, "In this place in Guanzhong, where is the place with the most grain storage?"

Ding Yuan was stunned for a moment and said: "The granary of Jingzhao Mansion on Jingzhao Road, the grain in each warehouse in Guanzhong, seven or eight out of ten are hidden there!" He explained: "Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, the capital city was located in Jingzhao Mansion, so a huge granary was built there...... Did Master Hou say that he would go to Jingzhao Mansion to buy grain?"

Lin Tian nodded, shook his head again, and said with a smile: "It's not to buy grain, it's to borrow grain." ”

"Borrow grain ......" Ding Yuan heard these two words, black lines appeared on his forehead, and he muttered in his heart: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye, you came to Fengxiang Mansion to borrow grain, and as a result, there was a mutiny, this time you went to Jingzhao Mansion to borrow grain, you won't have to do anything again, right?"

Lin Tian didn't want to make more trouble, because he hadn't swallowed Fengxiang Road yet. When even though he wrote a letter to borrow grain, the words were extremely polite, stamped with a seal, and entrusted this important matter to Ding Yuan, he said: "This matter needs to have Mr. Lao Dingding! Mr. Ding is here, not seeking success, but seeking courtesy and courtesy, if he does not borrow, Ben Hou has his own plans." ”

Ding Yuanxin said: "Do you salute first and then soldier?" received the letter, withdrew, took a few followers, and went to Jingzhao Road.

Jingzhao Road is in the east of Fengxiang Road, adjacent to each other, Fengxiang Mansion is about 400 miles away from Jingzhao Mansion, Ding Yuan and his party rode a horse, did not dare to delay the big event, and arrived at Jingzhao Mansion in the afternoon of the third day.

The Fengxiang Road mutiny has spread here.

Ding Yuan visited Wan Yan Ke, the capital of Jingzhao Road, Wan Yan Ke received quite politely, Ding Yuan explained his intentions, and showed Lin Tian to borrow food letters, Wan Yan Ke read it, first sighed and praised, and then looked embarrassed.

Ding Yuan asked what was difficult, and Wan Yanke said: "If you don't borrow food, it's really 80,000 people with three months' rations, which is too large, and Pontus can only make up 10,000 people's three-month rations at most." ”

Ding Yuan nodded, and said in his heart: "It's better than nothing." "I don't want much, it immediately represents the gratitude of the Hou Hou, and Wan Yan Ke is only polite.

Ding Yuan knew that it was difficult for the Metropolitan Commanders to produce so much food, because the grain in the military warehouses directly under the direct management of the Metropolitan Commanders was also limited.

The bulk of the grain in Jingzhao Mansion is in the Changping and Taiping positions under the prefect's management, but the prefect belongs to the civil system and is not under the jurisdiction of Wanyan Ke.

And the situation of Jingzhao Road is not the same as Fengxiang Road, in Fengxiang Mansion, the so-called prefect, the sense of existence is very small, because the scale of the city there is far from being compared with the capital of Jingzhao Mansion, the capital of several dynasties!

The granary of Jingzhao Mansion is the big granary of Dajin State, and the prefect Wanyan Lide is Wanyan Honglie's cronies, and the world knows that the relationship between the Marquis of Yu and King Zhao is not harmonious!

Ding Yuan beat a drum in his heart, and said secretly: "Borrowing food from Wanyan Lide, there is a chance that it will be rejected!" However, he still came to visit.

Wanyan Lide looks like a standard civil official, in his fifties, he met Ding Yuan with a kind attitude, which made Ding Yuan a little surprised.

Ding Yuan explained the intention, and showed Lin Tian to borrow grain letters, Wanyan Lide read the letter, frowned slightly, and said: "Changping storage of grain, is to regulate the price of grain in the market, can be sold, but there is no such thing as lending;

Ding Yuanxin said: "That's true!" After listening to Yan Lide's words, he had already expressed his intention to refuse, and he wanted to get up and leave, but he didn't know that the other party's tone suddenly changed, and said: "But this letter was written by the Marquis of Yu, and there is a reason for it, well, let this house think about it." He immediately frowned and groaned.

Ding Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "What does this Wanyan Lide mean?" The words that came to his mouth were swallowed again.

About half a tea time, Wanyan Lide said: "Okay, this mansion will agree to the Marquis Yu's request to borrow grain!"

Ding Yuan was surprised and delighted, happy because he borrowed food, the food problem was solved, and he was surprised because he didn't expect it to be so smooth, he thought that Wanyan Lide would deliberately make things difficult, but he didn't expect him to think about it for a while, so he agreed!

Three days later, Ding Yuanyi's entourage reported the matter to Lin Tian, and when Lin Tian heard the news, he was also surprised, thinking that he would have to spend some means, but he didn't want it to go so smoothly.

Two days later, the first batch of grain from Jingzhao Mansion was delivered to Fengxiang Mansion!

The so-called food in his hands, not panicked, the grain was put into storage, Lin Tian was very determined, and immediately recruited Jia Guchi and other officers to bring people to the barracks, improve the food, distribute the food, the sergeants were all happy, and they all praised the Marquis Lin Tian!

The food was sent in an endless stream, and Lin Tianyou arranged to deliver food to the poor Jurchen people under his jurisdiction, and tens of thousands of poor Jurchen people were overjoyed and praised!

Of course, enough food was also delivered to Lingyunzhuang.
