In the unnamed city, the sun rises.
Under the granary watchtower, after a night of hard work, all the carriages of grain have been put into the warehouse, and all the carriages and carriages have left the granary. After the last batch of laborers left with tired bodies and anxious moods, the granary door slowly closed. Seal this place into a castle.
Before the door of the granary closed, two people came in. One was dressed in white and covered his face with plain gauze. It was Qianxue. The other was a tall man wearing heavy armor, but he was Yao, a local scholar who had a conversation with Luo Chuan last night. Saburo.
At this time, Luochuan was listening to the fat granary officer's report on the granary situation with the shadow and the young female Taoist. When he saw the two people coming back, he just waved and then turned around and asked, "In other words, the granary of Weiming City is now in a state of At the full warehouse stage, plus what was collected from the city last night, there should be 220,000 dan, half of which is new grain and half of which is old grain, right?"
"Oh, my lord, your calculations are so fast. You are right. Although the inventory is not complete yet, there should still be 220,000 dan." The plump granary official narrowed his eyes with a smile and cautiously gave Luo Chuan a thumbs-up gesture. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two Yaasaburo who were walking this way, "But sir, of the two hundred and twenty thousand stones, one hundred and fifty thousand will be transferred to Yicheng in the next few days. What can we do here?" There are about 70,000 shi of old grain left, but as usual, we can take these old grains to the market and exchange them for new grains in the hands of the people. They can exchange one stone of new grains for more old grains from us. In the end, in addition to giving ...Send some to some adults’ houses, and the rest can have 50,000 shi of new grain. Sir, we are much richer this year than in previous years!”
"Replace old grain with new grain. In this way, the grain in the granary can be stored for a few more years, and the people will have more to eat. You have done a good thing," Luo Chuan stretched out his hand from the fat granary officer and put it in front of him. I grabbed a handful from the open bag of grain in front of me, put it under my nose and smelled it. There was a fresh smell that was even mixed with earthy freshness.
"Oh, it's all thanks to the adults, it's all the credit to the adults," the fat granary officer kept flattering.
Luochuan stopped looking at him, looked down at Qianxue who was squatting in front of the grain bag, and turned to ask the tall man Yaasaburo who was waiting quietly, "How is it?"
Yao Sanlang withdrew his gaze from the grain bag in front of Luo Chuan. Hearing this, he couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Qian Xue's back, and then said cautiously, "Sir, the government office has 1,768 officers and soldiers. Reorganization completed..."
Luochuan just nodded slightly. When the fat granary officer standing opposite him heard this, he trembled in shock, and then lowered his huge head. His whole body seemed to be stiff, and he could not move at all. Don't dare to move.
Seeing this, Luo Chuan just smiled and ignored it, but continued to ask, "The reorganization was completed overnight. You still have some useful people under your hands, which is good, but... a lot of people died too. ah......"
Yaasaburo couldn't help but want to see Qianxue again, but he forced his head down like a fat granary official, "Yes, we have lost up and down... more than a hundred soldiers, please punish me!"
The fat granary official heard clearly, and big beads of sweat dripped from his forehead to the ground.
Seeing this, Qianxue raised her head slightly and smiled softly at the fat granary official. Although her beautiful appearance was vaguely visible, she was so frightened that the other person took two steps back and their two bodies trembled.
"What punishment? In troubled times, heavy punishments should be used. If these people die, you can keep more people alive." Luo Chuan reached out and patted Yaosaburo's thick armor very hard, making a dull thud. " Last night there was a battle at the government office in Weiming City. The township magistrate died in the line of duty, the township assistant died in the line of duty, and the township officials also died in the line of duty. You are still here. This is the blessing of heaven and man on this city, and the greater blessing is the two people in this granary. 120,000 shi of food are all handed over to you today."
This time Yakuzaburo did not show the same shocked expression as last night. Apparently, Qianxue had already told him some things that should be told to him.
But the fat granary official on the other side sat down on the ground after hearing this. He raised his head and said in a trembling voice, "Big... big... Sir, this grain... .To transfer...transfer to...yiyiyi..."
Luochuan ignored the fat granary
The official just stood in front of Yaasaburo, pressed his shoulder heavily with one hand, and looked at him calmly, "He Yucheng, there are millions of people around it, I guarantee that it will not take a few days. Time, they will drag their families and come north. They are old and young, just like refugees." He paused and suddenly laughed at himself, "Yes, if they can come here, they will really be A refugee."
He patted Yaasaburo's thick armored shoulder, "There will be people around Weiming City who want to come in, and there will also be people in Weiming City who want to leave. What I mean is that Qianxue should have told you that military control is certain. , labor and war preparation are certain, and distribution of food and porridge to the refugees fleeing north is certain, but other than that, all other matters are decided by you."
Yao Sanlang took one look at the neat rows of buildings in the granary. He didn't feel any joy at all. He only felt extremely heavy. "If... in the end..." He looked into Luo Chuan's eyes, and for a moment he felt I can't talk anymore.
Luo Chuan still looked back calmly, "You can escape when a herd of beasts appears ten miles south of Weiming City."
Yao Sanlang's initially dull expression suddenly moved. He lowered his head slightly and frowned, "Sir, give me soldiers and food, but don't you ask me to defend this unnamed city?!" He raised his head, He stared at Luo Chuan's eyes with slightly red eyes, and said in a low voice, as if he was weak, "I am a soldier of the Mountain Shaking Army...!"
"Soldiers of the Shanshan Army are also people of my human race. Only when you are alive can you have the opportunity to kill more monsters. If you die, there will be nothing." Luo Chuan unconsciously closed his sleeves with his hands again, and he raised his head slightly. Head, you can see the purple air in the east, "When the sun rises, it's time for us to leave. Let your soldiers come in and take over this granary."
"no!!"
The fat granary official who was slumped on the ground suddenly jumped up. His body was trembling, but his eyes were staring. He opened his hands and roared in a low voice, "The grain from Weiming City will be transferred to Yicheng!!"
Qianxue chuckled lightly and flicked her fingers. The fat granary official rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. He didn't even glance at the shadows on the side, but the young female Taoist looked at Qianxue's face again and again.
Luochuan glanced at the fat man on the ground and said to Yao Sanlang, "This man is actually quite interesting. You can give it a try. If he can be used by you, some things in the city will be easier to handle. The current situation is like this, so do your best. Just do it."
Yao Sanlang nodded, and seeing Luo Chuan turning to leave, he hurriedly asked, "Sir, do you want to... go south?"
Luochuan nodded, turned around and left.
Behind him, Yaasaburo stood up straight in silence.
Quietly and solemnly performed a military salute...
