Efforts to kill the enemy is not as good as the full level of tea art

After Fang didn't see him for a few days, the delicate smell of gold carvings and jade carvings on Young Master Fu's body faded a bit.His hair was no longer black and shiny, with a branch messily coiled on top of his head, wrapped in a half-worn jacket, with a few bright red patches on his elbows and buttocks.

Zhuo Yue almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"What a joke!" Fu Wang was furious, "It's all you! If it wasn't for you, I would have ended up in this situation?"

"How do you say that? You have improved a lot now than before." Zhuo Yue patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "You used to be a dandy with a lot of gold and jade, but now—"

Fu Wang snorted, "What about now?"

"--now it's a mess inside and out." Zhuo Yue said sincerely.

"you!"

Zhuo Yue quickly interrupted him: "Hey, why did you come to me? You don't come here to trouble me, do you?"

Fu Wang snorted: "Thinking too much. I'm here to tell you that in a few days the rations for each battalion will be reduced."

Zhuo Yue was stunned, frowned and said, "Are you going to reduce it again?"

During the more than ten days they were stationed in Cangheng, the regulations had been reduced twice.Ordinary soldiers didn't feel it, because during the garrison, everyone ate a large pot of rice as a unit, but as the general, Zhuo Yue knew how much less food was shared by everyone.If they used to be able to eat without worrying about not being enough, now they will be able to eat seventy percent full.

If it is reduced further, I am afraid that even ordinary soldiers will not be able to hide it.Not eating enough is the easiest way to cause panic.

"How much food is left in the army?" he asked Fu Wang.

"I've only been in the camp for a few days, so it's not up to me to know the exact amount of surplus food." Fu Wang said, "But I do the math, and it should be enough to feed 2 people for half a month."

half a month.

Zhuo Yue took a deep breath, and the haze buried deep in his heart gradually enveloped him again.

Although he had expected that there might be a shortage of margin, he didn't expect it to come so early.I remember that in the previous life, there was also a crisis of not being able to eat enough at this time, and people in the army were also panicked, but it was already summer at that time, and a batch of emergency food was delivered to the frontier after waiting for two months, without causing too much loss.

But now it is only the beginning of March, and the date of exhaustion of surplus food is several months earlier than in the previous life.If the emergency food does not arrive early, there may be a real famine in the army.

The consequences could be disastrous.

"So what are you going to do?" Fu Wang asked.

Zhuo Yue was full of worries, and murmured: "Originally when we fought here, we should eat the military rations stored by the guards, but now the guards' system is chaotic, many military farmlands have been privately occupied, and the granaries in the guards are basically empty. We can't count on it. So we can only transport the quantity from far away. The nearest official granary to Yingzhou is near the capital. It is the emergency food for the people and nobles in the capital. I wonder if it can be approved for us—"

Fu Wang couldn't help frowning, and cursed: "Who made you think so much! How the army eats is the business of the generals. What I want you to think about is how we eat!"

Zhuo Yue didn't realize what he meant: "We?"

"You really have a bodhisattva heart, my brother Zhuo." Fu Wang bowed to him sarcastically, "It's been a while, and you still miss him? Just think about how to feed the people in your tent! Oh! By the way, add me one more."

Zhuo Yue still didn't understand: "Don't we all eat military rations, if everyone can't get enough to eat, we can't get enough to eat either."

Fu Wang was completely speechless: "It's a good thing you were born in a military family, otherwise, if you were in an ordinary family or a merchant's family, you would starve to death sooner or later...I want you to think about it, can you get some food for yourself? The way to eat food!"

...Private food?

Zhuo Yue was puzzled: "Are you asking me to go hunting in the mountains? Or what?"

Fu Wang nodded at him: "You have finally caught up, but you are still not enough to dare to think. People have to dare to think and dream to make money! How much rations can one go hunting in the mountains? How many strong people can hunt a rabbit? Han eat?"

Zhuo Yue looked at him: "I think you are really dreaming."

"No, no, listen to me." When Fu Wang got excited, he started pacing back and forth and said, "Yingzhou is in a state of war, and it should be hopeless. But Danzhou, which borders Yingzhou, has suffered from The sea transportation is developed and quite rich. If we can sneak into Danzhou to buy a batch of grain, and store it in a hidden place nearby in case of emergency, we will be able to survive this famine!"

"Stop it." Zhuo Yue raised his hand, "First of all, it's not far to go to Danzhou, but it's not too close. It will take about half a month to go back and forth. Do you know what the consequences of going out of the camp without permission are?" ? If the method of going to Danzhou to buy grain is really feasible, why not report it to the generals and let them buy grain for the [-] army.”

"Stupid!" Fu Wang yelled, "You don't think that the court's purchase of grain from merchants is as simple as passing a note and approving money!"

Zhuo Yue looked at Fu Wang speechlessly - he really thought so.

"Do you know about opening the Chinese law? This kind of thing happened in the previous dynasty. The imperial court recruited merchants to transport grain to the northern border towns, and then gave them the monopoly certificate of salt 'Yanyin', and the merchants then used the 'Yanyin' to receive it in the salt-producing areas. Salt, and then resell it at designated places.” Fu Wangdao, “However, there are many high-ranking officials in the imperial court. When they saw that Yanyin was profitable, they made large-scale memorials to ask for Yanyin, and then sold it to salt merchants for profit. Therefore, the opening of the Chinese law was abolished in the previous dynasty, and the court must be cautious and cautious when buying grain from merchants! Maybe we are all starving to death, and the note from the Ministry of Households has not yet been approved."

Zhuo Yue was dumbfounded, he really didn't know these things.

"But if we have fewer people, it won't be so difficult to sneak into Danzhou to buy a batch of grain and then withdraw. As for the difficulty of going out of the camp as you said... the truce is about to enter. Since there is no war, you will always let your subordinates What can't be fooled by soldiers helping to cover for two days?"

Zhuo Yue was blocked by him for a long time, unable to speak, and said weakly: "Okay, even if you are right, but what about the money? Where does the money for buying food come from? You don't think you are a rich young master, do you?" , with your current worth, you can't even afford a bun."

Fu Wang rolled his eyes at him: "As long as you ask a question, ask a question. Why are you always sarcastic? I have already thought about the money issue, young master."

"……tell me the story."

"Do you still remember Zheng Fuhu in Danji City?" Fu Wang excitedly said, "I heard before the army set off that he had a batch of goods trapped in Danji City, which could not be sent out due to the war. They are all out of business again. And there are quite a few merchants like this in Danji City. You bring five or six people with you, escort this batch of goods to Danzhou, and let them pay you with rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, you can kill two birds with one stone!"

Zhuo Yue: "..."

After Fu Wang finished speaking happily, he held his head high and waited for Zhuo Yue to applaud him, but Zhuo Yue's gnawing sound was not heard for a long time.Looking at it again, Zhuo Yue's expression was mixed, he was hesitating as if he didn't know what to say.

Fu Wang was annoyed: "What kind of expression do you have, shouldn't you applaud me, young master?"

"...I don't know how to react." Zhuo Yue said slowly, "You are too courageous."

"One didn't break the law and the other didn't do evil. What's the matter with earning money and eating with one's own ability?" Fu Wang asked back, "Make a decision quickly, brother Zhuo! If it's too late, things will change, and if it's too late, you won't be able to eat! This is not a joke. "

Zhuo Yue's mind was in a mess, and he waved his hands: "You have to let me think about such a big matter."

Fu Wang cut his voice: "During it... Okay, three days. I will give you three days to give me an answer."

Zhuo Yue walked back to the tent with a heavy heart, the crowd that had just formed a mess had dispersed, and only Guan Ximing and the others were sitting inside chatting.Seeing Zhuo Yue coming in, Zhang Laohei snorted immediately: "I'm not happy to see you neatly dressed."

Zhuo Yue didn't have the mood to pay attention to him, and sat down by himself.

Xiao Ga sensed that his expression was wrong at a glance, and frowned, "Brother Zhuo, what's going on?"

Zhuo Yue hesitated.He didn't want to tell everyone about the lack of surplus in the army to scare everyone, but if he really went to Danzhou to buy grain, he would inevitably bring these people with him.After thinking for a moment, he recounted the conversation with Fu Wang just now.

After finishing speaking, he said: "That's how things are. Let's make a decision together with our brothers."

Zhang Laohei's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Danzhou is good! I heard that Danzhou kabuki's Tanjue is excellent!"

Zhuo Yue scolded: "Have you heard the word Danzhou?"

"I've heard the other things too." Zhang Laohei said, "I think Brother Fu is right. Let's sit here and eat the mountains and sky, how passive, it's better to do it yourself."

Asking this idiot is a waste of time.Zhuo Yue gave up on him and turned his attention to the others.

There seemed to be worry in Guan Ximing's eyes, Zhuo Yue could see through what he was thinking at a glance, and said calmly: "Don't worry about me. Even if you are really hungry, I can handle it."

Guan Ximing forced a smile, thought for a moment and said, "I'm not worried about anything else... But even if our trip goes smoothly, we can only bring back ten carts of dry food if we are exhausted. That's enough for the few of us, but Brother Zhuo Now he is the general manager, and the other hundreds of people under him—"

Zhuo Yue sighed - this is also where he repeatedly hesitated.

This life is different from the previous life.In his previous life, he was just a barefoot soldier, taking a few brothers to and fro in the wind and rain, feeding the whole family without worrying about them, he was very chic, and he had no sense of responsibility or burden.

But now, the life and safety of more than 500 people are hanging on him.If he was allowed to hide in his own tent and eat and drink hot food with his brothers, then how would he be different from those fish and meat people and high-ranking officials who filled their pockets?

"Xiao Guan, we can't even take care of ourselves now, so why bother with other people's concerns." Zhang Laohei nodded and said, "How do you say that sentence? If you are big, you will have wives and concubines in groups, and if you are poor, you will be a poor commander—— "

"If you are successful, you will benefit the world! If you are poor, you will be good for yourself!"

"Look at you, don't you understand the truth?" Zhang Laohei said with a smile, "I don't think you have ever been hungry. When you are so hungry that your eyes are black, don't worry about whether others will eat enough." , you can even swallow dead human flesh.”

Guan Ximing sighed for a long time, looked at Zhuoyue worriedly, and said nothing.

Xiao Ga has not spoken, but he has always been like this, he doesn't like to express his opinions, as long as it is Zhuo Yue's decision, he will unconditionally obey it.

Zhuo Yue finally set his sights on Li Changxing.

Li Changxing had been quietly listening to everyone's discussions, and finally raised his eyes, looked at Zhuo Yue and smiled slightly: "Brother Zhuo, if we don't go to Danzhou, how long will the 500 people in our tent be hungry?"

"I can't tell when the emergency food and grass in the rear will arrive... let's say three months."

"How long will the ten carts of grain be enough to feed 500 people?"

"...one month?"

Li Changxing said with a smile: "If the 500 people under Brother Zhuo's account had to starve for three months before, now they only need to endure two months... such a good thing, why hesitate?"

When a man acts, why hesitate to talk about gain and loss.If you have wine, you can drink directly, and if you have roads, you can travel directly.

Zhuo Yue took a deep breath, already thinking about it.

Three days later, when Fu Wang found him, he thought he hadn't made a decision yet, but when Zhuo Yue saw him, he grinned and said, "When are you leaving?"

The author has something to say: Of course, you don’t have to go to Danzhou, but if you don’t, it will be inconvenient to stay in the barracks and develop an adulterous relationship (doge)

[The implication: adultery is about to develop. 】
