Chapter 415 They are not short of hay, but food
Upon hearing that there was a chance to return to Beijing, General Qin's eyes lit up, and Gu Chengsheng was also very happy.
They are all generals from the capital. There are also many local generals in the Northern Border Army. It is much more convenient for them to go home to visit their families during their tenure than for them. They can make the decision on this matter.
But when they returned to Beijing, they could only obey imperial orders and transfer orders.
Now that Yun Tang said so, they felt that this matter had a chance, and they happily drank two glasses of wine with Lan Jue, Yun Xuanmo, Wang Kun, Xiao Ke and Xiao Yue before putting down their glasses.
Yuntang did not take out his Qingyunzui because alcohol was prohibited in the army.
Generals can have a few drinks occasionally, but they are not allowed to drink except when rewarding soldiers, otherwise they will violate military orders.
Even in their own homes, they dared not drink openly, let alone drink excessively.
The wine they served to entertain the guests was also Shaodaozi from the border town, which was very strong.
Therefore, unless they toast, the three brothers here will never take the initiative to raise the cup and will never drink more than one sip.
Xiao Ke and Xiao Yue also had the opportunity to drink in the Southwestern Army. The wine there was not as strong as the Shaodaozi in the North, so they were very quiet and just focused on eating.
Han Wenyi and Mrs. Gu did not sit at the table to eat. Instead, they sat on chairs nearby, drinking tea and chatting about family matters from time to time, without joining in the conversation over there.
Lan Jue, Wang Kun and Han Wenyi, who came here during the day, had already had dinner. This meal was arranged for Yuntang and his group.
The meal didn't take too long as they still had work to do.
As soon as she finished her meal, Yuntang took out a storage ring and asked Gu Chengsheng to take her to the granary so that she could get food directly.
Although Gu Chengfeng had written a letter to arrange the use of these grains, Yun Xuanmo had already told his eighth senior brother on the way to let Gu Chengsheng arrange to store the grain in the granary.
They were on the road for a day and two nights, which was enough time for Gu Chengsheng to settle down.
Gu Chengsheng and General Qin finally experienced the feeling of flying in the sky on a flying boat. If it wasn't at night and it wouldn't attract attention, they would have wanted to laugh out loud.
What a pleasure!
Yun Tang only brought Yun Xuanmo this time, letting the others take a short rest and returning to the capital overnight.
When they arrived at several granaries of the Northern Border Army, Yuntang filled up their empty granaries, and there were also a lot of fresh and dried fish and shrimp, dried vegetables, dried goods and even pork.
Ordinary people could go to the market to buy food and vegetables. Even poor people had received relief silver and relief grain before the New Year, so they had no problem getting through the first month of the year.
Relief grain will continue to be dispatched in February and March, and that will be the responsibility of the local government offices.
It is their responsibility to provide food and fodder for the army. People need to eat to keep warm, and horses also need to eat grass to keep warm, but people cannot eat grass.
They were not short of hay, but of food.
Seeing the granary constantly filling up, the soldiers and captains guarding the granary almost popped their eyes out, but no one was frightened by this magical, dream-like thing.
Their chief general is a Taoist master, so what's so strange about having a few more of them joining now?
After completing the task of distributing grain, Yuntang returned to the border town and filled the Jingbei General's Mansion with grain.
He followed Gu Chengsheng to the government office in the border town and distributed grain there, instructing them to use the grain to relieve the people. If it was not enough, they could just make porridge every day.
The snow disaster was more severe the further north you went, and the people in the border towns were poorer. Therefore, Gu Chengfeng also instructed in advance that the focus of grain supply should be placed on the border towns.
The further south you go, the earlier the snow and ice will melt. By then, the people in several cities south of the northern border will be able to save themselves.
Looking at the mountains of grain bags, everyone in the yamen, from the county magistrate, the chief clerk, the teacher to the constables, the runners, and the servants, were so excited that they burst into tears.
They have food!
These are all the food obtained by General Jingbei!
General Jingbei leads his troops like a god and loves his people like his own children!
Yuntang did not waste time with these people. After distributing the food, he returned to General Jingbei's Mansion. He packed the remaining vegetables into several Qiankun bags and handed them over to Gu Chengsheng for arrangement.
Gu Chengsheng had the Qiankun bag given to him by his elder brother, so he knew how to use it.
It is very convenient for ordinary people or people with low Taoism to use the Qiankun bag.
The storage ring is not for ordinary people to use. When worn by ordinary people, it is just an ordinary ring that does not play any role and cannot be opened at all.
There was still a small amount of food and a lot of vegetables in a few Qiankun bags, and Gu Chengsheng was as excited as if he had won a battle.
Yun Tang said: "Fourth Senior Brother is still collecting grain in the southern border. He should be able to sell it to the grain stores later to ensure the stability of grain prices for the people."
Gu Chengsheng nodded quickly and said, "These grains are enough for the army to eat. If necessary, we will use some to help the people who have no food."
"The better-off families have stored food, but the poor families in the mountain villages are the ones who suffer. I will make arrangements for them later. They can survive with coarse food."
When Yuntang heard that this amount of food could only support the Northern Border Army and was still a drop in the bucket for the poor people, he thought about it and took out a storage ring.
Gu Chengsheng was asked to clear out all the empty rooms in the mansion and fill them with food, including some rice, a large amount of corn and sweet potatoes, dried fish, dried mushrooms, and some dried vegetables and pickles from farmers in the southern border.
"At the end of the month or the beginning of the month, I will send my fourth brother back and bring some more food. In addition to the food to be used in the grain stores, we will also provide some food to the poor people. I'm afraid they don't have the money to buy food."
The autumn crops were harvested last year, and there was no snow disaster at that time.
After paying the grain tax, some of it can be sold, and the remaining grain can be used as food for the winter. In autumn, wheat and rapeseed can be planted, and a batch of grain can be harvested in March or April of the following year. However...
Due to the snow disaster in winter and the freezing weather, I’m afraid we won’t be able to harvest much grain by the end of spring this year. The soil is still frozen and it is estimated that it will thaw around the Dragon Boat Festival. Whether we can plant rice around the Dragon Boat Festival depends on the weather.
The disaster suffered last year actually affected this year, which is why Gu Chengfeng has been worried and anxious to collect grain everywhere.
They could only collect them one by one and send them to the North in batches.
The next batch that Yuntang gave her was the one she took herself and prepared to use to provide relief to the people in the southwest.
But the southwest was originally located at the angle between the southern border and the western border, and had a geographical advantage over the northern border. Therefore, she placed half of the food here, so that it would be convenient for her to go back to the southern border and the eastern border for what she needed.
When Gu Chengsheng learned that Yuntang had left a lot of grain for the people in her fiefdom, his eyes turned red with gratitude and he bowed deeply to Yuntang to express his gratitude.
Yun Tang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Gu will take care of the rest. We have to go. We have to return to the capital early tomorrow morning and rush to the southern border tomorrow night."
Hearing that she was in such a hurry, Gu Chengsheng didn't dare to delay her even though he wanted to talk.
Soon, Yuntang and several people who had been waiting for them got on the flying boat. Without any further words of farewell, the flying boat sailed away.
In the courtyard of General Jingbei's Mansion, Mrs. Gu craned her neck to look for a long time without feeling the pain in her neck, and shook Gu Chengsheng's arm excitedly.
