Cangzhou City, the city lord's mansion.
Bai Zhanpeng was appointed as the temporary general stationed in the city and was handling official duties.
In a sense, he had to thank Qin Yun, because the general who controlled the important territory of a state had greater power in all aspects.
Of course, he didn't want to thank him twice in his life.
Killing a third-grade general and then deceiving the world is, at best, an accomplice, and at worst, a crime of deceiving the emperor, which will cost you your head!
What's more, the Qian family managed to support a third-grade general-level son-in-law, but was slaughtered like this. How could they let it go once they knew who was behind the scenes?
"Old Bai, how's it going? Do you have any idea?"
Qin Yun said with a smile, even omitting the word "general".
Bai Zhanpeng: "You can still laugh. If you can't get enough military rations, the worst I can do is go home and inherit the family business and stop being such a shabby general. If you lose the throne, you are still nothing. What else can you say?"
Qin Yun nodded: "Yeah!"
Bai Zhanpeng said angrily: "Don't, you brat, you even wrote a letter specifically to keep me here to clean up this mess. What do you want to do, lead me to rebel? I'm really on your pirate ship!"
"I wonder, General Bai, have you caught the people from Zhushen Villa?" Qin Yun suddenly changed the subject.
Bai Zhanpeng: "Food, military rations, I'm telling you this, why are you talking about other things?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "General Bai, as far as I know, there are only two forces in the world that can mobilize so much food and grass in a short time. One is the Bai family's World Chamber of Commerce, but it is estimated that this matter will be difficult to handle. After all, When I move my whole body, many eyes are fixed on the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. Even if His Majesty gives the order, I'm afraid it won't work. The other one is the armored car of Zhushen Villa."
"You are right, the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is not named Bai, and the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce's strongest strength is river transportation. It will take at least half a month to transport everything on the road."
"Your Majesty only gave you seven days!"
Qin Yundao: "That's why we should find the people from Zhushen Villa. They are a group of free craftsmen. Only with them can we find a way to break the situation."
"Artisans? A group of people who only know how to make iron can also conjure food for you!"
Qin Yun: "Actually, I can do without them, but I can't swallow this breath. I really can't bear to lose the second-class military merit that I have worked so hard to capture!"
Bai Zhanpeng was speechless. Why hadn't he discovered that the Ninth Prince had such a vindictive side before? He had heard that Song Zhengyi just left him outside the door and didn't see him for three days.
Three days later, this guy took a knife and chopped off the person's head. No, it was better not to offend the person.
"Okay, I will send people to arrest you right now. Even if Qingzhou City is ruined, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
"Thank you, General. With them, we may be able to complete the mission earlier. Then I will prepare food first."
"Go quickly, don't bother me!"
Qin Yun smiled and walked out of the city lord's mansion, but at this moment the fourth prince broke in with someone.
"Qin Yun, you are here, just in time. Hurry up and give me military rations. I am going on an expedition!"
Qin Yun looked at Qin Chen, this guy is so smart, is it you who begs me now?
"No!"
Unexpectedly, Qin Chen said with a smile: "I know you don't have it. What do you think? Come and beg me! Beg me and I will help you find a way. Otherwise, someone will be beaten back to the starting point in seven days. Feng Guo Lieutenant, his title is not as high as that of a soldier next to me!"
Qin Yun: "If you have the skills to talk, why don't you go pray to God and worship Buddha so that your three thousand troops can become more powerful and defeat the enemy!"
Qin Chen snorted coldly: "What do you know? I have a plan for a long time. It is better than you alone. In seven days, I want to see how you complete the task assigned by your father."
"let's go!"
Shen He on the side poked his head out: "Your Highness, this person came here to make you angry on purpose. We are not angry. I have already helped you find a small manor in the south of the Yangtze River. From now on, you can become a rich man instead of a prince!"
Qin Yun looked coldly: "You talk a lot, I think you want to accompany Song Zhengyi!"
"No, no, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Your Highness, I have already counted how much wheat and how much rice is on the road according to your request. The three hundred craftsmen you brought have also been working day and night to build what Your Highness said. Crusher!"
"But how is this different from a donkey pulling a mill?"
Qin Yun: "Just keep an eye on it. If something goes wrong again, just go with General Song!"
Shen He's face darkened, and he couldn't express his sorrow. This is the consequence of being on a pirate ship!
Qin Yun left with his hands behind his back. Bai Zhanpeng came out and patted Shen He on the shoulder: "Xiao Shen, I will carry it with you, or else you kill this guy!"
"My lord, you are joking. As a civil servant, I can't do it. I can't do it!"
Shen He held up his hands again and again and retreated.
On the other side, Qin Yun received good news. Wang Menghu and the others finally arrived in Qiongzhou City. After hearing about Qin Yun's predicament, Tieniu and Tienxiong loaded a boatload of sugar and salt overnight and took the waterway to the warehouse. Come from the state.
Fortunately, there is no need to pass through Luochuan on the waterway. You can go around and arrive in two days. Feige sent a letter in advance.
"Two days is enough!"
Qin Yun came to the place where three hundred craftsmen were working. Bai Feiyang worked as both a supervisor and a bodyguard. He had two jobs, otherwise he would not be worthy of his eight times salary.
"coming!"
Bai Feiyang never called him Wangye. After all, he felt that he was very unusual. In the words of later generations, he felt very cool about himself.
Qin Yun doesn't care about these, but cares about the progress of the project.
"How about it?"
Bai Feiyang pursed his lips: "Yang Yong has brought all the donkeys in Cangzhou City, as well as the waterwheel mill you mentioned. The waterwheel has been built. It will take some time to build the gears."
"It doesn't matter. It will be done in two days. Is that okay?"
Bai Feiyang: "Are you really not ready to be a prince? The old emperor gave you seven days to get food, and you still have the time to think about these things. What are you thinking about? Otherwise, marry me into the Bai family, and I will give you my Sister, marry you!"
If there was no Shen Yue, if he was content with being a rich man, this proposal would be very tempting, but Qin Yun's goal is the prince, the emperor. Although eating soft rice is delicious, Qin Yun will not do it unless he has to. of.
Qin Yun was about to speak when Bai Feiyang added another sentence.
"You want to be beautiful, whether my sister likes it or not is up to you!"
Qin Yun raised his hand and gave him a slap in the face. He had said all the good things, so what else could he say.
At this time, Yang Yong, who was extremely busy, came forward: "Your Highness, the water tanker is ready for trial operation. How about you go and check it for acceptance?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Okay!"
Bai Feiyang immediately left the work station: "Wait, take me with you!"
Soon, the three of them arrived at the Cangzhou River, where the craftsmen had already built the prototype of the mill.
The water flow here has a high and low difference, which is just usable.
Qin Yun looked at the big guy and couldn't help but marvel. He thought the craftsmen couldn't make it.
"Test the car!"
"His Highness has ordered a test drive!"
As several workers placed the water wheel in the rolling river water, driving the subsequent gears to rotate, and the huge stone mill in the mill began to grind, Qin Yun knew that he had succeeded.
However, grinding millions of kilograms of grain in seven days is a big project, and just a small waterwheel is definitely not enough. On the other side of the valley, Qin Yun also ordered people to build a windmill.
“Keep building, the more the merrier!”
But Qin Yun's move seemed to everyone to be a waste of effort. Could it be that grinding grain into powder would increase the amount? What a joke.
Qin Chen was waiting in Cangzhou City to see how Qin Yun would fall from the throne. Once he was deprived of his title, Qin Chen could directly avenge his sons!
Qin Chen was heartbroken when he thought of Shuang'er's death. He came to grab the military merit not because he liked Shen Yue, but because he wanted to sit in that position, because only in this way, people in the world would not make irresponsible remarks about him!
