The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 141
Chapter 141
Now that there is a shortage of food, the food sent by the court has almost been consumed.Bai Jingyi hurriedly asked: "How long can the remaining food last!?"

The general quickly replied: "If you go back to the young general, you can last for seven days at most!"

Bai Jingyi smiled lightly and said, "Enough is enough!"

The general asked without knowing why: "Young general, could it be that the imperial court allocated food again!?"

At this time, a few ordinary people dressed as businessmen came over with cloth bags on their backs, bowed and cupped their hands to the surrounding soldiers and said, "This official, please inform me that the shopkeeper of Wang's Liangzhou Refined Grain Store in Taiyuan is asking to see the Major General." !"

When the soldier heard that he was from the Taiyuan Wang family, he hurriedly told Bai Jingyi the news.

But Bai Jingyi was stunned when he heard it, what he did in the court seems to have been out of their control long ago, why did he come to win me over! ?

Could it be that Liangzhou is too far away, and the news of Chang'an City has not been delivered yet! ?No matter, there is no reason not to eat the meat that is brought to the mouth.

Then Bai Jingyi waved his hand and said, "Bring him to see me!"

Soon, the shopkeepers of several shops came to Bai Jingyi with soldiers from the Beiliang Army, bowed and said, "I have seen General Bai!"

Bai Jingyi waved his hands and said, "No need to be too polite!"

"Thank you, General Bai!" Then the shopkeepers deliberately glanced around.

Bai Jingyi said, "Everyone listen! Take a hundred steps back!"

After the soldiers had all retreated, Bai Jingyi asked, "Why are only you from the Taiyuan Wang family, and why didn't the rest of the family show up!?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and said: "Returning to the young general, this is a little thought from the Patriarch, so I didn't discuss it with the rest of the families!"

"The head of the family specially ordered the little one to do his best to help General Bai! Now that the little one heard that there is not enough food in Liangzhou City, he specially gave the three thousand shi of grain stored in the grain shop to General Bai!"

When he heard this, Bai Jingyi immediately let out a smile. Although he was not short of food, there was no reason to push out the good things that came to his door.

Immediately, Bai Jingyi smiled faintly and said: "Thank you, the Patriarch of the Wang family, for the general! The general will accept the food!"

After the shopkeeper heard Bai Jingyi's words, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "If the food is not enough, just ask the general! The little one will definitely report the truth to the family and ask the family for help!"

Bai Jingyi nodded lightly, thinking in his heart: I am afraid that when you can contact Wang Shi, you will definitely regret it!
"Squeak~~squeak~~"

After the shopkeepers left, one carriage after another immediately came into Bai Jingyi's sight.

Since the main food crop in the Tang Dynasty was millet, that is, millet, one stone equals two buckets, which is 27 catties of millet!So three thousand shi of grain is more than 8 catties of millet
Those generals looked at the carts of grain with their eyes bent into crescents, and at the same time said excitedly: "Major general, with this grain, we can at least survive the New Year's Eve!"

"Yes! Major General, with these grains, the common people won't have to go hungry during the period when the court distributes grains again!"

Bai Jingyi smiled faintly and said: "Heh! Pass down the order and send soldiers to look after the food. Everything is subject to my order!"

"The last general obeys!" The soldiers in charge of food immediately took the order and left, with smiles on their faces as they walked on the road, and they almost left without bouncing.

Immediately, Bai Jingyi ordered Hua Mulan through the system and said: "Hua Mulan listen! Lead the female guards and [-] Xiliang cavalry to station around the granary! At the same time, strictly guard those female refugees and those children!"

"The last will obey!"

Just when Bai Jingyi was about to give an order, the middle-aged man beside Mozi ran over to Bai Jingyi, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Report to Major General! There is not much wood available in Liangzhou City!"

"The last general implores the major general to order the soldiers to go up the mountain to cut wood!"

Bai Jingyi didn't give an order, but instead asked: "How much wood is there in the city!? How many days is it enough!?"

The middle-aged man scratched his head and said, "If you go back to the Major General, it will take about five days!"

Bai Jingyi gave the order: "Send the order! Stop building new houses! Gather all the wood and cloth in Liangzhou and build tents!"

"Otherwise, these people can only survive the winter against the cold wind! Even if there is food, they will starve to death sooner or later!"

"Subordinates obey!"

The middle-aged man left here with a puzzled expression on his face.

Bai Jingyi ordered Mo Zi through the system: "Mo Di obeys the order! Lead all the soldiers and the people under his management to clear out the ruins in the east of the city and build tents!"

"Each tent must accommodate at least 500 people!"

Mozi was a little speechless, and thought in his heart: How big should the tent that can accommodate 500 people be, besides, those refugees are simply scumbags who are just waiting to die, they will be obedient! ?
Bai Jingyi instantly understood his thoughts, and then said in a cold voice: "Follow the order!"

Mozi could only reply respectfully: "The last general obeys orders!"

After the order was issued, Bai Jingyi turned to Dian Wei and said, "Pass me the order! Immediately take people to the shop and ask them to take out all the cloth stocks, and say that I want to requisition!"

"The last will obey!"

After Dian Wei took the order, he immediately took the empty carriage and went straight to the shops of several aristocratic families.

After all, when the Turks entered the country, the people of the family had already received the news, and they hid the supplies of the shop in a nearby cave in advance.

In this way, the cloth in the city plus the cloth collected by the family is enough to build a tent!
What's more, only the north, east, west and south of the city were burned by the fire in Liangzhou City. Although part of it was also burned, it has been repaired by Mozi!

There are still villages near Liangzhou City. Although nearly 200 million refugees seem to be a lot, Liangzhou City is enough to accommodate more than 100 million, and the rest can only let them live in villages outside Liangzhou City.

The two city gates in the south and east of the city were also blocked. These refugees either went north to the Turkic grasslands or hid in the nearby desert.

Therefore, even if these refugees lived outside the city of Liangzhou, there was no need to worry about them escaping. After all, the Beiliang army patrolled day and night, and they had no chance of escaping.

In this way, the problem of food and housing for the refugees in Liangzhou was solved, and the nearly 200 million refugees, excluding the old, weak, and young children, were a labor force of more than 100 million.

With so many people working together, under the leadership of Mozi, a large tent accommodating 500 people can be erected in a maximum of three days.

Bai Jingyi let out a deep breath, got on his horse and prepared to go home, at the same time he thought in his heart: "The entire Tang Dynasty only has a population of about 4000 million, and my little Liangzhou has a population of nearly 200 million."

Before Bai Jingyi could think clearly, another soldier hurried over and shouted loudly at the same time: "Young General! Major General!".
