Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

More than half of the looted food was quietly sent to Daianliang Temple. These are the costs of dealing with this natural disaster.

The other half of the food and belongings were taken into the space by Su Mulan.

Currently, there are 200,000 stones of food and 5 million taels of silver in the system space. It's not that she wants to be greedy for the money and food, but she plans to see if she can use these supplies to save the lives of the three of them.

If the 200,000 shi of food were really robbed by foreign cavalry, they would only need people to enter the capital. She could also find a way to release food in the space for Xie Chengan to pay.

As for those belongings, they may be used to save lives when the time comes, and they may come in handy. After all, if he really wants to enter the capital, even if the food is handed over as scheduled, then Minister Ning might resort to some tricks.

Money can lead to the gods. With these five million taels of silver, it would be hard currency if you had the opportunity to make friends with the court officials. Otherwise, it would be too naive to just rely on words.

Xie Chengan, the grain supervisor, is only a part-time job, but his position as magistrate of Anlan County is his job. If he could come back, he would most likely continue to be the county magistrate. Only the grade may be adjusted.

Therefore, before Xie Chengan rushed to the capital, he arranged various county government affairs, such as future relief plans for local disaster victims, relief regulations for refugees from other prefectures, etc.

The family had made arrangements, and the grain and fodder from various prefectures and counties had basically been transported. Although there was a shortfall of tens of thousands of dan, Xie Chengan knew that they had really tried their best, so they made up for it from the official warehouse of Anlan County.

Xie Chengan, Jiang Ruiyan, and Su Mulan led the team and set off. Zhao Jingzi and the three hundred horse thieves transformed into food transport guards accompanying them.

Su Mulan disguised herself as a man for convenience. She also brought along Ye Yu and Ye Xue, who also dressed as men and accompanied them. These two girls have skills and are a big help. Others stayed in Suzhai.

Qingniu and Lin Xu did not follow, but stayed in Anlan to suppress the county. After all, under natural disasters, people's hearts are unstable and they don't have enough power to control the situation. Maybe Anlan will also become as miserable as Qingsong County.

Although it wasn't all smooth sailing on the waterway, it didn't take too long.

Since Xie Chengan received the appointment from the court on August 20, he spent ten days preparing food and fodder, and traveled on the canal for another twenty-five days. When he landed in Tongzhou, it was already September 25.

The result was not the imagined scene of the capital being surrounded by foreigners. Xie Chengan sent someone to inquire and found that there were no traces of those foreigners. It was said that the two passes could not be breached and only a few spies had penetrated.

Tongzhou is also transporting grain to Beijing. In this battle to defend the capital, the imperial court mobilized the whole country, especially grain from the south of the Yangtze River to enter the capital. It had to arrive here first and then be transported into the capital.

This is the last inspection checkpoint before entering Beijing. Xie Chengan handed over the documents, and the inspection department sent people on board to inspect the grain ships one by one before releasing them.

After entering the capital, the grain was successfully delivered. Xie Chengan and Jiang Ruiyan looked at each other, feeling like they were punched in the cotton.

Originally, all three of them were determined to die, but who knew that they were simply overthinking. Apart from the hard work on the road, there was no danger at all.

The only thing that caused some concern was that when the grain was delivered, an officer from the Ministry of War happened to come. He found that Zhao Jingzi and the other three hundred grain transporters were quite strong, so he suddenly thought of giving Xie Chengan a lecture.

After learning that these three hundred people were also proficient in riding, and that Xie Chengan could also ride and shoot, the superior officer actually gave him the rank of guerrilla general and the general of Wu De, who took charge of the three hundred people and stayed by his side.

This guerrilla general is a fifth-grade real-duty general who can lead five hundred to two thousand officers and soldiers in his headquarters. General Wu De is a fifth-grade honorary officer. It is used to clarify the grade of salary and is not an actual position.

Equivalent to the colonel leader in later generations. Colonel is the military rank, and regimental commander is the actual position.

Su Mulan was surprised when she heard this. It was better now. A good civil servant became a military general. Although this is a temporary assignment during wartime, he might have to go to the battlefield.

I thought that after handing over the grain, I could happily return to Anlan. Unexpectedly, I couldn't let go of carrying it, and I had to continue carrying it.

Fortunately, the foreigners did not invade, and they saw soldiers gathering in the capital. It is said that there were nearly 200,000 troops. There were mountains of grain and fodder in the city, and Jiang Ruiyan estimated that he would be able to eat it for a year or two.

In this way, even if those foreigners did attack the capital, they would probably step on nails, kick iron plates, and chip their front teeth. This battle to defend the capital seems to be in danger, but it is not as dangerous as imagined.

Also, this court has always been a three-party battle between the emperor, eunuchs, and civil servants. Now that the emperor has been captured alive and the chief eunuch has been beaten to death, the civil servants group is actually the dominant one, so the efficiency of doing things can be several times higher.

For example, the big boss of the Ministry of War appointed Xie Chengan, the magistrate of Anlan County and the governor of grain, to the military post without blinking an eye.

If this were normal, it would be ridiculous.

Seeing the military officer leave after finishing speaking, there was an officer beside him who explained to Xie Chengan in detail his station, responsibilities and other matters. This is simply more crisp and clear than the emperor's speech.

They come, the security.

After Xie Chengan came back, he arranged for Zhao Jingzi to lead his men and station them in the military camp designated by the Ministry of War. Not long after, another seven hundred households came with troops, all of them were cavalry. This is the additional force provided by the Ministry of War for Xie Chengan's command.

Xie Chengan's martial arts skills are not weak, and he has also learned military tactics. After all, it is just a hobby and has never been in actual combat. How could these elite soldiers obey him?

Su Mulan, who had been disguising herself as a man, saw that the seven hundred cavalry were noisy and reminded Xie Chengan in a low voice.

The army is no different from the local area, where the law of the jungle is about the strong. Although Huairou is needed, he needs to convince everyone before he can talk about anything else.

"Brothers! Yesterday, I, General Xie Chengan, was also the county magistrate. I was responsible for supervising food and magistrates. Today, thanks to the appreciation of your Majesty from the Ministry of War, I was ordered to rebuild the sentry horse camp and serve as a guerrilla general." Xie Chengan climbed up to the general platform and shouted. vocal channel.

Before Xie Chengan finished speaking, there were boos from below.

"I know that you are all warriors who crawled out from among the dead. Naturally, I think that as a civil servant, I must be incapable of restraining a chicken. This is easy to do. It's a mule or a horse that comes out to run around!" Zou.

"Hey! The general is talented. In this case, my soldier Zhou Daquan will learn your methods." A short and stocky man among the soldiers under the stage jumped out and said.

Now Xie Chengan was a bit nervous. If he wanted to discuss things, he would have to have an officer come up. In the end, it was just an ordinary soldier who challenged him first.

If Xie Chengan wants to end the match, he will fight him, which is a bit of a bargain. But if he didn’t fight, he would have just finished saying the harsh words.

Although Zhao Jingzi is also good at martial arts, he is good at horse fighting. This pawn is short and strong, so he is probably very good at foot combat. He is not sure of victory.

When Su Mulan saw this, she wanted to stand up for him. But just as she was about to speak out, she felt her clothes being pulled off. Looking back, it was Ye Xue.
