Chapter 252 Returning to Linjing County

Chapter 252 Returning to Linjing County

Chang'an City has been extremely lively these past few days. It was reported the day before that General Meng Chen ordered the mobilization of the entire army, and then the Penguin Chamber of Commerce donated a huge sum of money.

Although the specific quota was not clearly stated to the outside world, Meng Chen's smiling face was enough to explain everything.

"My lord, Abraji from the Western Regions Branch donated a lot." Shen Wansan pointed out to Mengchen after reporting the donations from the Chamber of Commerce.

"Oh? This person is really scheming, what is his request?" Meng Chen asked casually, benefits are always exchanged, since people have made efforts, Meng Chen must give something in return.

As the saying goes, a thousand gold buys a horse bone, just because Abraji takes the lead, Mengchen will let him get enough benefits!

As long as there are interests, such a relationship can be maintained. Of course, such a premise must be that Meng Chen has sufficient strength.

"My subordinates inquired about it privately. Abraji wants to go to Guishuang to sell slaves." Shen Wansan said cautiously.

The matter of selling hard work has long ceased to exist in Dahan, especially Meng Chen himself is firmly opposed to the existence of such a thing.

"A letter from Benhou, let him go to the Romans." Meng Chen did not hesitate at all, and he had already started writing when he said this.

Although he doesn't like the slave trade, especially in the territory of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions are different, and Meng Chen can be regarded as reciprocating.

Shen Wansan didn't say much, he thought about how to remind Abraji that although Meng Chen agreed to this matter, the business of hard-working sales must not enter the territory of Dahan.

"Old Shen, the big man has the rules of the big man, and the Western Regions have the rules of the Western Regions, as long as it doesn't touch the bottom line of the Marquis."

Shen Wansan left, but Meng Chen's last words were quite warning. I believe that as long as Abraji is not stupid, his life in the future will be more comfortable than now.

As the saying goes, don't panic when you have food in your hand. Meng Chen has both food and money now, but he still panics in his heart.

"Mr. Wenhe, Anbu has worked hard this time, but all those who are corrupt and perverted will kill one, and two will kill both." Meng Chen said this with a murderous look.

"Although all members of the Anbu are acting, there may be no supervision outside the county." Jia Xu responded, and then continued: "My lord, why not use those disabled old soldiers for the current plan?"

"Mr. reminded that these disabled veterans at the grassroots level are the eyes of this Marquis."

Just do what you say, and soon another decree came out from the General's Mansion, as long as the disabled old soldiers who can take care of themselves are regrouped.

This group of disabled veterans, since they could no longer go to the battlefield, were sent back to their hometowns.

And the treatment Meng Chen gave them was enough for him to spend the rest of his life smoothly.

Right now, due to the continuous disasters in various places, a lot of money and food distributions are special events, and there must be malpractice for personal gain.

Jia Xu's Anbu, on the other hand, is in a state of overload, and the money and food that are out of the county cannot be effectively supervised.

The ancients used to say that money can make ghosts turn the millstone, but no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents with the money and food.

In this way, it is much better to gather those disabled old soldiers who can take care of themselves for supervision than to have no supervision.

The disaster relief work was carried out in an orderly manner, Meng Chen was busy all day long, even the female family members in the general's mansion were the same.

As time went by, the originally messy disaster relief work was broken down one by one.

After receiving strong support from the garrison and the distribution of disaster relief money and food, the situation in Gezhou County began to stabilize.

As the saying goes, what happened in Chang'an quickly spread wildly around the world, and merchants in various states and counties followed suit.

Especially those merchants who are overwhelmed and want to join the Penguin Chamber of Commerce are even crazier than the members of the Penguin Chamber of Commerce.

On the official road in Linjing County, Anding County, a convoy carrying grain and grass was walking slowly.

Since the Meng family left Linjing County, the place has become much more depressed.

Fortunately, the economy of Xiliang has developed rapidly, and it has become one of the important trade centers between the Han people and the Huns.

"My lord, I have been away from Linjing County for several years, but I didn't expect this place to change so much!" A young man said to the leader.

"Yeah, I didn't expect this place to become a major trade center." The leader also sighed.

Although the snow on the official road has been cleared, horses still slip when walking on it.

The grain carriage moved forward slowly, and the body made a "squeak, squeak, squeak" sound.

"Send the order, speed up, the weather will snow again." Meng Chen looked up at the sky, and then issued the general order.

The skill of looking at the sky was learned by Meng Chen from "Taiping Essentials".

Although I am not very proficient yet, it is better than not seeing anything.

Half an hour later, the food transport team slowly arrived outside the south gate of Linjing County!

"The relief food has arrived, quickly open the city gate!"

Meng Shan stepped forward and shouted. Long before he arrived at the city gate, the soldiers in charge of defending the city gate were ready to open the gate.

"What is the proof?" On the top of the city, a soldier poked his head out and asked loudly.

"There is an edict here, which can be checked by you." Meng Shan said, and took out a long and narrow wooden barrel from his waist, and the wooden barrel was containing the imperial edict.

Every team transporting food will have such an edict, although this is no secret.

But the number of this team outside the city was enough to arouse the vigilance of the defenders.

"The county magistrate is here!" Just as the soldiers at the top of the city put down their hanging baskets and were about to check the edict, the county magistrate who got the news arrived.

"Why don't you open the city gate?"

"County magistrate Mao, in the past, the grain transportation team used to have a maximum of a thousand people, but this team is all cavalry, about three thousand."

"Oh?" The county magistrate who heard the words made a difference, and then hurriedly poked his head out.

Seeing this, the county magistrate trembled in fright!
"Hurry up, open the city gate, the lord is here!" The county magistrate shouted, and then scrambled and rushed down the city.

At such a scene, the guards who watched the city dropped their jaws in shock, and the words that the lord came in person exploded in their ears like thunder.

As the gate of Linjing County slowly opened, the leading county magistrate led the soldiers and appeared in front of Meng Chen.

"Xiaguan Maojie, pay my respects to the lord!"

"Xiaoxian, how do you recognize this Marquis?" Meng Chen got off his horse, and since he had been recognized, he no longer hid his identity.

"Three thousand Meng family troops." Mao Jie adjusted his mood, and then said.

Meng Chen looked back, and had to say that Mao Jie's observation was meticulous, even if the guards deliberately covered it up, they still did not escape his sharp eyes.

"I've been away for a few years, I didn't expect Linjing County to become a place where I almost don't know each other!"

After entering the city gate, Meng Chen strolled on the street, and sighed thinking about all the past.

"All thanks to the Lord!"

"Hahaha, this is all due to Xiao Xian!"
