Two days later, at Cangzhou Port, the two living treasures Tieniu and Tienxiong returned to Qin Yun, and they behaved well for a while.
"Your Majesty, this is the peace charm that Miss Liu personally requested for you. Miss Liu asked you to wear it at all times!"
"And this is the holster my master made for you. There are also a hundred spears in the cabin. Master said you will definitely need them."
"I'm determined!" Qin Yun looked at a warehouse full of sugar and salt. This was his magic weapon to completely raise military rations.
If he was given some more time, he could develop enough wasteland from Qiongzhou.
In fact, the geographical location of Daxia Qiongzhou is similar to that of Hainan Island in the previous life. Although there are not many exchanges with the local area, there are basically no other people in the local area except the chieftains and the government officials.
There is a lot of wasteland in this place. Qin Yun asked Zhao Kun to buy a lot of it in advance, but now he mainly grows sugar cane. The sea salt he asked Zhao Kun to secretly refine is much better than the salt on the market in Daxia, but He has no plans to sell it yet.
The reason is very simple. The salt and iron tax is one of the main taxes in Daxia. This is a big cake. If he dares to touch it, with his power now, if he dares to touch it, he is seeking death!
However, it is still okay to bring some big enemies like Bai Zhanpeng, Shen He, and Zhao Yuzhi together to cause trouble in the future.
In fact, Qin Yun does not come into contact with everyone. The people he comes into contact with are actually his potential targets. He wants to be the emperor, but there are not many reliable people under him to support it. It is pure fantasy!
Qin Yun said to the two of them: "Thank you for your hard work. First unload the gun and bullets and hide them. These will not be moved for the time being."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Tieniu said: "By the way, Your Majesty, Master said there are still many things he doesn't understand about the red cannon blueprint you gave him before."
Qin Yun smiled: "Take your time. After this counter-insurgency is over, maybe I will have to go to the island."
"Your Majesty, then I will arrange the unloading!" Tieniu and Tienxiong worked hard and quickly led the workers to unload the sugar and salt.
With these, plus the money raised near Cangzhou City, he didn't panic at all.
…
Time is running like water, and there are still three hours before the deadline given by Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia personally sent the eunuch Liu Jin to come and accept the results.
Qin Chen even squatted in the city lord's mansion early. As soon as Qin Yun was deposed, he would immediately send people to capture Qin Yun!
"Eunuch Liu, here!"
Qin Chen waved.
"I have met the Fourth Prince. I wonder why the Fourth Prince is guarding Cangzhou if he doesn't go to the front lines to take credit?"
Qin Chen smiled and said: "I am just trying to recharge my batteries! Eunuch Liu, did my father give me a decree?"
Liu Jin raised his hands to the sky and said, "His Majesty has indeed given his decree."
"That's good, let's go together to see Qin Yun. I want to see him dethroned from the throne with my own eyes!"
Liu Jin: "Your Highness, please!"
Outside the Cangzhou Grain Storehouse, Liu Jin led a group of people here.
"The King of Liang accepts the order!"
"I accept the order."
"Prince Liang, His Majesty has ordered that the slave family see with their own eyes whether you have prepared enough food for an army of 300,000 people for one month."
"Father-in-law, please come this way!"
Qin Yun led Liu Jin towards the warehouse with a smile on his face.
Qin Chen on the side snorted and quickly followed, but was stopped by Bai Feiyang.
He held the gun and pursed his lips, indicating to Qin Chen to look at the sign.
"No idlers or dogs allowed!"
"Asshole, you dare to scold me?"
Bai Feiyang snorted coldly: "Who scolded you? The last time there was a fire in the warehouse, it was because of lax management. The general has ordered that no one can enter!"
"I am King Chen, you are blind. Come on, slap me!" Qin Chen waved his hand.
The shadow of the Yang family on the side immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, you can't hold me, this person is the Bai family's son, Bai Feiyang! Have you forgotten that you yelled at him when you were a child, and you were grounded by the imperial concubine?"
Qin Chen was furious, and a bubble seemed to float above his head. In the bubble, several well-dressed children were playing in a manor on the outskirts of the city. A little kid with a wooden gun in his hand was playing with him. Little Qin Chen He yelled twice at the little kid, who chased him all the way with a wooden gun.
Later, he learned that the man's name was Bai Feiyang!
Damn it, no wonder it looks so familiar!
Logically speaking, he was a prince, and the Bai family really did not dare to offend him, but he, a prince who aspired to seize the throne, offended a giant family that controlled most of the world's industry for nothing.
There is really no need to graduate!
Qin Chen instead said, "It turns out to be Brother Bai. You were so offended just now. Why did you come here to guard the gate when you were in the army? Why don't Brother Bai follow me to the front line to make contributions?"
Bai Feiyang was full of arrogance: "Like a sissy like you? You have no taste!"
"You!" Qin Chen was about to get angry immediately. He was just good-looking and liked men, but he was definitely not a sissy.
Qin Chen snorted coldly and walked away.
Bai Feiyang also snorted: "Stop, I told you not to come in!"
At this time, Qin Yun smiled and said: "Let him in, after all, he will not be reconciled until he sees it with his own eyes."
Qin Chen snorted coldly: "Qin Yun, you are about to die and you don't know it yet. I want to see where you conjure so much food!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Brother Four Emperors is so sure, why don't you and I make a bet? If I bring out enough food, you will give me half of the three thousand men and horses?"
Qin Chen: "It's just you? You still want my king's elite, ask them if they are willing to follow you, a loser?"
Qin Yun: "Oh, okay, it seems you don't dare to make this bet with me!"
Qin Chen: "Who said that I dare not? I said that even if I order them, they will never follow you. So, didn't you open an ice house in the capital? I have two in the capital. Silk Village, take this as a bet, if you win, I will give you the village, if you lose, hum..."
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "Eunuch Liu, how about being a witness?"
Liu Jin said without hesitation: "Since the two princes are so elegant, I will bear witness, Your Highness Prince Liang, where is your food?"
Qin Yun smiled and pointed at the boxes in front of him.
"Everyone, please look, it's right here! Yang Yong, open the box."
"promise!"
The box was opened, and rows of small squares wrapped in oilcloth appeared in front of everyone.
Qin Chen was the first to step forward, pick up a piece, and open it to take a look.
"brick?"
"Bread?"
"You're just feeding the pigs here!"
"Eunuch Liu, you have seen that Qin Yun did not complete the army food mobilization as his father said, so he should be reduced from the throne!"
Liu Jin said in a deep voice: "Please also ask His Highness Prince Liang to provide sufficient food, otherwise I will have to read out His Majesty's decree."
Qin Yun said: "This is just food. If you don't believe me, please break it open and eat it!"
Liu Jin broke open the "brick" and put one piece in his mouth, then closed his eyes and tasted it carefully.
"This thing is pasta. It tastes like pastry, has a salty and sweet taste, and is full of satiety. May I ask, Your Highness, what is the name of this thing?"
Qin Yun said with a smile: "This is a compressed biscuit. It is made of flour, sugar, and salt. It is easy to transport and has a long shelf life. It is wrapped in oil paper and can have a shelf life of one to three months. There is no need to worry about moisture and insect damage. , can be used as emergency food on the battlefield.”
Eunuch Liu asked again: "Biscuits? They are similar to the oil cakes. Before I came here, I heard that His Highness was renovating the mill, so it must be for this purpose!"
Qin Yun then opened another box.
"Eunuch Liu, here are the rice krispie treats, which are made by puffing rice at high temperatures and soaking it in hot water. During the march, you can eat hot and stomach-warming food. Of course, you can also eat it dry!"
"And this, the name of this thing is instant noodles, which are deep-fried at high temperatures. Paired with various soup stock seasoning packets, soak them in boiling water for three hundred breaths, and you will have a bowl of delicious food!"
"Yang Yong, get Mr. Liu a bowl of instant noodles, braised beef flavor."
"promise!"
"Your Highness, this old slave has eaten."
But as Yang Yong brought the boiling water, put the noodles into a large bowl, and then used a bamboo tube to sprinkle in special seasonings, Eunuch Liu took a sniff and immediately changed his mind.
"This thing is very fragrant, let me try it!" Liu Jin almost cried.
"Father, don't be anxious, wait for hundreds more breaths."
After three hundred breaths, Qin Yun signaled to Liu Jin that he could eat. The latter picked up the spring noodles with chopsticks and slurped them.
"It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful. This thing is a hundred times more delicious than the noodles made by the palace chef. If I eat this bowl of noodles, it would be a good idea to let me fight on the battlefield!"
“It’s truly a delicacy in the world!”
Qin Yun thought to himself, it's no wonder it doesn't taste good, he put enough MSG in it!
In fact, this MSG is extracted from kelp. Qin Yun knows that the most lacking thing in war is flavor. He can guarantee that instant noodles will become the most sought-after military supplies once they are released.
However, at this time, Qin Chen kicked over the bowls and chopsticks that Liu Jin had finished eating, which made Liu Jin want to drink soup and didn't hide it!
"It's a joke. You brought some flashy things and tried to pass them off as military rations. Even though, as you said, these things are made of flour and rice, as far as I know, you don't have enough flour and rice at all."
"In other words, you are trying to trick Eunuch Liu. Maybe the chef has prepared your bowl of noodles in advance and hid it in it to act as a cover-up for us!"
"Qin Yun, do you know that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Qin Yun sneered: "It's ridiculous. If you don't believe it, just go and check it out and count it to see if it's enough. And if you soil these military rations, then wait for Father to punish you."
"My father once said that every grain of grain is hard work. How could a rich prince like you know how precious food is?"
"Your Highness Prince Liang, what the fourth prince said is indeed true. As far as I know, you do not have so much military rations. How to explain this?"
Qin Yun said: "When the army is marching, the biggest consumption is not the food of the soldiers, but the time spent on the road. If we can shorten the time of transporting food by half, and use good storage and transportation methods, we may not be able to transport food in a short time." arrive."
"In this way, we can achieve the effect of saving, don't you think so, Mr. Liu?"
