Chapter 500 Unified Recruitment
The news that the Great Zhou Dynasty was going to fight the northern Tatars spread to almost every corner of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There are tall ships parked one after another at Jiangnan Wharf.
The scorching sun is in the sky, scorching the earth.
The water vapor was steaming on the dock, and the laborers were already sweating profusely. In addition, the weather was so sultry, and people suffering from heat stroke fell one after another.
If it were normal, the laborers would have stopped working long ago and would go to the teahouse next to the pier to rest and avoid the harsh sun.
But this time, Lifu just moved his fainted companion under the shade of a tree, and then went to the teahouse to get a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water and drink it down.
After their companions woke up, they continued to move the goods at the dock.
“Hurry up!” the steward kept urging on the deck, his voice becoming hoarse from shouting for too long.
Shu Yao also pulled a batch of supplies and was boarding the ship: "Second uncle and third uncle, you transport this batch of grain to Hezhong Mansion. The owner of Hezhong Mansion, Bo Li Mingde, will meet you there!"< br>
The second uncle nodded: "Does he have enough manpower? Do you need us to bring some more people?"
"No, as long as you enter Hezhong Mansion, there is Baida Express there, and they will deliver the food smoothly. Sent to Yunzhou!”
This time Shuyao’s family sent all the ships.
Even the old antique ship at home, Shuyao’s grandfather’s first transport ship, was sent out!
The second uncle smiled and said: "Shu Yao, don't look so sad. Although the old boat is older than me, my father took good care of it and maintained it every year. It is in better condition than a new boat! ”
Shu Yao forced out a stiff smile.
At this time, she was more panicked than anyone else.
If Yunzhou loses, Dazhou will at most cede territory and pay compensation, but the general and the Su family will be completely ruined!
This season is not the season to go to sea originally. It is driving against the wind, but Erlang also got the news and immediately decided to go to sea!
The third uncle blamed Shuyao for the division of clan.
The second uncle turned his head away, not looking at Shuyao, and said in a low voice: "We didn't come here just because of your face! In "The Legend of the Gone City", the Cao Gang is also a famous sect! I Just don't want to fall Cao Bang's reputation!"
Just when all the goods were loaded on the ship and the ship was about to set sail, the Hangzhou magistrate hurried over in a carriage with dozens of government servants.
The county magistrate leaned out, with a look of anxiety on his face, and shouted loudly: "You can't sail the boat, you can't sail the boat!"
The second uncle and the third uncle lowered their flags, confused. He looked at the person coming.
The county magistrate did not care that the car had not stopped yet, jumped out of the car and ran over quickly: "The Holy One decrees! All war preparation materials will be uniformly collected from Kyoto! Anyone who trades more than ten stones in private will be charged with treason. Discuss! ”
Holy shit!
"Isn't this nonsense? The transaction in any grain store can exceed ten dan!" The second uncle's eyes widened, and he didn't understand why the officials issued such an outrageous decree!
The county magistrate made a sad face: "The grain stores are all registered, they are not counted. Everyone understands that it is not an emergency now, there is a war in the north!"
Shu Yao: "Our food is going to Yunzhou!"
"I know, that's why I explain it to you here in a nice voice."
The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his head: "Even if you can leave Hangzhou, you will be stopped in other states and counties!"
The third uncle didn't understand: "Why not let the people's food grow by themselves?" Sent to Yunzhou? Does Shuozhou’s food also have to go to Kyoto first and then sent to Yunzhou from Kyoto?”
“Yes, that’s right, it is. Like this."
Everyone was speechless: "What a waste of time, manpower and material resources!" The county magistrate said, "If the local government organizes the delivery of supplies to Yunzhou, there will definitely be a layer of chaos. There are even phenomena of shoddy products, such as wheat mixed with sand! ”
"The official also said that he couldn't let Duke Yun bleed and cry! He doesn't have Duke Yun's ability to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but he can guarantee that every bag of wheat sent to Yunzhou is clean. Yes, every knife sent over is usable. ! ”
“So the officials would rather spend a little more time to ensure the quality of logistics. It’s just that the officials in Kyoto will be more tired!”
This reason is shocking, but Why do I always feel weird? !
Shu Yao: "Then what should we do with the grain?"
County magistrate: "It can be sent to Kyoto. A new grain collection office has been set up in Kyoto to purchase grain at a fair price. Although you earn It doesn’t cost a lot of money, but it won’t make a loss either.”
Shuyao and Yizu's second and third uncles discussed for a while and finally decided to send these ships of grain to Kyoto.
The same thing happened at another dock in Jiangnan.
The handsome man frowned tightly, and his eyes were indescribably upset.
He was shirtless, showing his lean muscles.
Several women in gauze danced around him.
But his eyes fell on the dock not far away.
"Master, we have put Huoxiang Zhengqi water in every teahouse. If any laborer needs it, he can get it for free!"
The handsome man waved his hand, and the dancing girls filed in. He came out: "There's going to be a fight in the north. Gu Nanxi has enough people." "
The official replied honestly: "The disparity in strength is huge!"
The handsome man frowned even more: "We don't claim to have an army of 800,000, why? Not sent to the north? ”
"Isn't that the title? How can we get so many people together! It would be great to have 400,000 people on the battlefield."
The handsome man cursed a few times in a low voice, but the officials on the side did not hear the curse clearly. Something happened.
The handsome man took a bite of the ice cake and found it unpalatable. He was about to ask someone to leave, but he seemed to have thought of something again. He frowned, gritted his teeth, and finished the bowl of ice cake in a daze. .
"Did Duke Ji Guo set off?"
The official said with a sad face: "No! The recruitment list was submitted for the fourth time, but it was rejected by the official again! It was said that the soldiers who were born in the south were too Many, I am afraid that after arriving in Yunzhou, I will not adapt to the local environment. Instead of helping the crowd, I will go to cause trouble for the general!”
The handsome man got angry and kicked the table in front of him: "This won't work, that won't work either! What kind of troops does he want to send?! Why don't the adults in the court care about it?"
As if he had eaten explosives, the handsome man picked up Guan Jia and quickly comforted him: "It's not the end yet." The deadline? They will definitely arrive before the deadline!"
"Trash! If the little emperor goes to do business, he will lose his pants!" br>Criticism is what it takes, but who says someone has a good life and is a prince at birth?
"Okay, hurry up and send the food to Yunzhou. And buy some winter clothes. Autumn starts earlier in the north than in the south. Gu Nanxi definitely doesn't have time to prepare these."
"It's summer, no one sells winter clothes!"
"More money!"
"Okay, Master."
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the horse's head , the servants reported, and the emperor issued a new edict.
After hearing the content of the imperial edict, the housekeeper was a little dumbfounded: "Master, there are dozens of ships of food, will it be sent to Kyoto?"
"No! Do I need that little money? I know whether my things are good or not! Let them move the food back to the granary!"
