Because of the shortage of food, Chunxu sent people to Guangnan to go to the first few landowners who occupied the city in order to ask for the rice.
Rice can be eaten before germination and can be used for planting after germination. Basically everyone knows this.
Because the rebel army occupied the city, the landowners in the city did not have to bear the high taxes of the Mo Dynasty. For this, those landowners were very grateful.
Among the more than a hundred cities occupied, there were still many landlords who were willing to donate part of the food collected from the people to the rebels.
It seems that the principle of a world dominated by those who win the hearts of the people is very correct.
This group of rebels used most of the grain they received from the landlords as seeds and opened up a large piece of land outside Jinchuan Prefecture for planting.
By the time the rice was ripe and harvested, it was already October of the 14th year of Dechang.
The harvested grain is barely enough. If this grain is used to cook porridge, it will be no problem to feed these 100,000 brothers for five or six months according to the previous practice of two meals a day and extra meals in big cities. of.
In the past nearly a year, Chunxu and the rebels did not put all their energy into rice, but also used part of their energy on other crops, such as fruits and corn.
Chunxu's group of rebels fought hard for everything they could eat. No, it would be no problem for the brothers to survive for five or six months. If they didn't have these, just relying on the rice, This will only last three or four months at most.
You know, the rice harvest is not very good. If there had not been great agricultural development in the past, the rice grown now would probably be much less.
After harvesting the food, it was already late October when we set off for South Vietnam.
After nearly a year of training, it took Chunxu and his group of rebels a few months to occupy all Kaihuai, Tongzhou, and Xing'an Prefectures in Mozhang Province.
Today, unknowingly, it is already July of the fifteenth year of Dechang.
The imperial court of the Great Mo Dynasty heard that the rebel army had occupied part of Mozhang Province, and the civil and military officials were not surprised.
After all, they had already guessed this situation.
Officials who were loyal to the imperial court requested the left prime minister several times to allow the imperial court to send troops to suppress it as soon as possible, but the left prime minister refused to listen.
It's a bit hot in Yanyang City today, but it's Shenshi now, and it's not that hot anymore.
At this time, several officials were walking towards a street in the city. Looking at the number of people, there seemed to be four or five officials.
The official robes he wears are also of different colors, some are scarlet, some are purple, and some are green.
Among them, one can recognize it by looking at his face. The one wearing a crimson official robe is none other than Cen Anze, the Minister of War.
The person wearing a purple official uniform next to him is Ding Yongchang, a doctor from the Dushui Qingli Department of the Ministry of Industry.
As for how Ding Yongchang and Cen Anze got together, it was all because of their fathers. Cen Anze's father Cen Wenxing and Ding Yongchang's father Ding Liu were high-ranking officials in the court, and they were both officials under the left prime minister's sect. Or, the two of them have been in Yanyang City since they were born. They are still playing together, so it is natural for them to get along well with each other.

.
They headed towards Su Mansion together.
"master."
After hearing the sound, Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, raised his head and saw that it was the housekeeper Lu Huan.
"What's the matter?" Su Yunqi asked.
"Master. They are coming to the Su Mansion." Lu Huan reported.
"Again?" Su Yunqi stood up.
Butler Lu Huan nodded: "Exactly."
After thinking for a moment, Su Yunqi ordered: "Go and stop them. Find a way to let them go back."
"yes."
After thinking about it, Su Yunqi said again: "Just tell me that I will consider this matter carefully and tell them not to come here again."
"Yes. The younger one will go first." After saying this, the housekeeper Lu Huan walked out of the study.
Seeing the housekeeper Lu Huan go away, the left prime minister Su Yunqi sat down on the chair with one hand on the table and the other hand on his forehead, with a frown on his face.
"master."
"The eldest young master took several officials to find Su Xiang again."
After listening to the report from the butler Luo Sheng, Cen Wenxing, the master who had just returned from the court after finishing his work, stood up quickly after he had not been sitting on the bench for a long time.
"What? Went there again?" Cen Wenxing confirmed.
Butler Luo Sheng nodded: "There will be no lies, it is absolutely true."
"Prepare your horses and go to the Su Mansion immediately." After giving the order, Master Cen Wenxing said to himself: "This kid is really lawless as long as he is the Minister of War!"
…
When those officials arrived at the door of Su Mansion, as they expected, they were stopped by Lu Huan, the steward of Su Mansion.
"Guys, please come back."
"My master said that he will consider this matter carefully and will handle it properly after coming up with a plan."
Listening to the words of the steward of the Su Mansion, the leading Minister of War, Cen Anze, frowned and blinked: "No. This rebel army has occupied so many places in Mozhang now. If we don't take action, it will be too late!"
"That's right. If this rebel army is not eliminated, it will be detrimental to the country and the people." Ding Yongchang, a doctor in the Dushui Qingli Division of the Ministry of Industry on the side, said.
"Both of you. I'm just the steward of the Su Mansion. I can't make any decisions regarding the military. These words are not what I said, but my master himself. You two should go back." Steward Lu Huan persuaded again.
"No way. This matter cannot be delayed. If it is too late, it will be too late." said an official next to him.
"Yes. This matter cannot be delayed. If the rebel army grows stronger, it will be difficult for our government to eliminate it. Let us meet the left prime minister." Another official on the side said.
Listening to these words, the housekeeper Lu Huan still said: "Everyone, please go back. My master said that he will consider this matter carefully."
"Steward Lu, please let us see the Prime Minister. It's really important." Cen Anze begged.
Butler Lu Huan shook his head slightly: "You guys should go back, what's the matter?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I'll talk to my master tomorrow in court, okay? "
However, several officials still did not give up and continued to beg to see Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi.
"Steward Lu, please. Let us in. If you don't tell us, we will. It's done, right?" Cen Shangshu begged.
The housekeeper Lu Huan still shook his head, with a look on his face that was about to give in. "You guys should go back. I really didn't lie to you. My master said it himself. He will consider this matter carefully. .”
Seeing that the steward Lu Huan refused to let him in, Cen Anze, the minister of the Ministry of War, took out a small bag of silver without hesitation: "Steward Lu, please let us in."
Seeing that this was money, the housekeeper Lu Huan refused to accept it. Although he was somewhat short of money, he couldn't take this money.
"Cen Shangshu, please don't embarrass me. Go back, ah." Lu Huan insisted on stopping him.
Seeing that Butler Lu refused to accept the money and was unwilling to let him in, thinking that his visits to the government in recent days had not been successful, Cen Anze, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, couldn't wait any longer.
"Mr. Ding." Cen Shangshu called out.
"Hey." Ding Yongchang, a doctor in the Department of Civil Affairs, Dushui, Ministry of Industry, responded.
"Since Butler Lu... won't let us in, we have to be cruel. We... climb over the wall and get in." Cen Shangshu wrote.
Upon hearing these words, the housekeeper Lu Huan, who was standing at the gate of the Su Mansion, panicked a little and pulled him over: "A few of you, a few of you. It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate."
"Steward Lu," Cen Shangshu shouted, "don't stop us, we can climb over the wall and go in by ourselves."
Just when several people wanted to climb over the wall and enter the Su Mansion, but were blocked by several people from the Su Mansion, the Cen Mansion's carriage stopped.
"Xu~"
"Stop! Don't be reckless!" A shout came over.
Cen Anze, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, looked back and saw that it was his father Cen Wenxing. He immediately did not dare to give in and stopped arguing with the Su family.
Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, stepped off the carriage and hurriedly walked forward. He looked at his son Cen Anze and scolded him: "Don't be impudent! Go back with me!"
"I won't come back!" Cen Anze, the Minister of War, wrote.
Seeing his son Cen Anze's appearance like this, Cen Wenxing, Minister of War, shouted towards the carriage: "Butler! Take the eldest young master back!"
Just at this moment, a carriage also drove over. It was the carriage of the Ding family.
Ding Liu hurriedly walked out. Seeing that his son Ding Yongchang was really there, he hurriedly walked forward: "Chang'er, don't be presumptuous." After shouting, Master Ding whispered in Ding Yongchang's ear. .
After hearing this whisper, Ding Yongchang left.
Seeing that the leaders Cen Shangshu and Ding Langzhong had already left, the few petty officials following behind also left.
Lu Huan, the steward of the Su Mansion, breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the Su Mansion.
"How's it going? Can we go?"
"Master, let's go. Cen Shangshu and Ding Shangshu came in a hurry to take him away."
"That's good."
