Chapter 386

"You know what the situation is now. My master was in charge of the Ministry of War. He was very hindered when he was doing things. He only learned about your coming to ask for food yesterday, so he sent me here early in the morning." Luo Shiji thought that when he came to the Ministry of War again today, he would encounter difficulties with Huoduo, but unexpectedly, things went unexpectedly. Wang Ji, the Minister of War, sent his confidant master to accompany him to various departments of the Ministry of War to go through relevant procedures, and continued to explain to him along the way.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Shangshu, and I will remember it in my heart." Luo Shiji also knew that the Ministry of War was run by Yuan Rukui for many years. Perhaps the head of the matter who made things difficult for a few days ago was due to Yuan Rukui's instructions, but he did not believe that Wang Jihe was just a devoted person. Since the other party treated him so well, he would have something to ask for. But since Xu Zhi didn't speak up, he was happy to pretend to be confused. Of course, some superficial gratitude should be shown. No matter what, they will be the one who gets the benefits.

"The minor officials in the granary outside the Beijing are not easy to deal with. Since the procedures of the Ministry of War have been completed, I'll just accompany you to the granary!" Since Xu Zhixian had done his job, he would do it thoroughly. He went to the Beijing camp to present documents and mobilized the troops who were escorting the grain and grass to take Luo Shiji to the granary outside the city.

"Get military rations and go to Henan Road to supply Hedong to fight against the bandits?" Ambassador Cang, who was erect, was too lazy to get up when he saw Luo Shiji, so he crossed his legs and took the document and read it in a lengthened voice.

"Yes, please help me." After that, Luo Shiji took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it over. This was inevitable. Whether it was to get food or arms, it was inevitable to send a message to the minor guarding the warehouse. Otherwise, you can just wait in line there, as they have reasons to make things difficult for you.

Regardless of the people next to him, Ambassador Cang took the banknote openly and looked at the numbers above. He was quite satisfied, "Well, since the procedures are complete, then come and get the food tomorrow!"

"The military situation in Henan Province is urgent, and I hope you can allocate it earlier." Luo Shiji couldn't wait any longer. He continued to beg that the Hedong anti-threat army would be at least one day later.

Ambassador Cang was about to speak, and Xu Zhi first coughed and stood up. He didn't know what he had seen Ambassador Cang, so the other party immediately stood up, nodded and bowed repeatedly, "I know, since the military situation is urgent, I'll make arrangements for you!" After that, the warehouse became busy immediately, and bags of food were sent out from the inner room.

Luo Shiji dared not be careless at all. He personally led people to check the quality and quantity of the food. What made him very pleased was that the food this time was actually the Chen rice from last year, not the garbage that had been stored for several years and was almost corroded. If it weren't for Master Xu, he would probably not be able to get such good rice. Luo Shiji felt a little grateful.

"Sir, check everything clearly, a total of 7,045 stones." After the busyness, the total amount of food received this time was summarized to Luo Shiji. He looked up at Ambassador Cang.

"Did you float!" Ambassador Cang squeeze out two words from his teeth. Thirty percent of the float was normal for them. The food, grass and weapons distributed to Zhang Guo's army in the past were also distributed according to this standard.

Xu Zhixian didn't say anything about this. He knew that there were many powerful people who gained benefits from it. Even with Wang Jihe's family background and official position, he would not challenge the unspoken rules.

"I understand, understand!" Although I felt sorry for the more than 3,000 stone of grain, Luo Shiji was not the reckless Qin Shixin after all. He knew the importance of it. He thanked Ambassador Cang and Xu Zhixian again. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Bai Shengsheng gave him three thousand stones of grain, and even thanked him. Is that true?

It was not far from the time when the Hedong anti-traitors' food and grass were cut off. Luo Shiji did not dare to delay. After coming out, he sent someone to the inn to pick up Qin Shixin and his personal soldiers who were taking care of him. He planned to leave the capital today and go to Henan Road. "I have written about the great kindness of Wang Shangshu and Master Xu. When I enter the capital next time, I will definitely visit you."

"This is a matter of course. My parents praised Ambassador Zhang very much and wanted to make friends with him for a long time. Unfortunately, Ambassador Zhang was fighting against the thief outside, so he failed to meet him. Since Luo Jiyi had important things, Xu did not dare to stay for too long. When Luo Jiyi entered Beijing next time, Xu would definitely hold a banquet to greet him." After that, Xu Zhi took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is my parents' greeting to Ambassador Zhang. I hope Luo Jiyi will be sent to Ambassador Zhang."

"I will definitely hand it over to Lord Zhang in person." After saying that, Luo Shiji took the letter and kept it in person. He had already heard some of the meaning from Xu Zhixian's words just now, but he did not dare to express his opinion easily about such a major event, and could only guarantee that he would deliver the letter to Zhang Guo.

Soon, Qin Shixin was pulled over by a carriage, and the large group of people set out on the way to Henan Road. Luo Shiji worked hard along the way and finally delivered the food he had finally obtained to Zhang Guo's army before the Hedong fights out of food.

After the handover, Luo Shiji found an opportunity without outsiders. He handed over Wang Jihe's letter to Zhang Guo. Zhang Guo took it apart and was silent for a while. When Luo Shiji asked him, he replied, "Shangshu Wang wants me to form a party with him. If I agree, I will find a way to transfer my official into the capital. The troops under my official can also be arranged in the imperial guards."

Leaving Henan Road, where rioters are everywhere, and going to the capital, it would be a good thing to put on ordinary people, but Zhang Guo didn't see it like that. He turned around and looked at the map in the tent and said, "Now that rioters are everywhere, how can I bear to ignore the people of Henan Road for their own selfishness?"

Now Zhang Guo knew the virtues of the officers and soldiers from all over the country. If he led He Dongping's bandit army into the capital, not only would Henan Road become a mess, but even the four Hedong prefectures that were wiped out would rekindle, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I will write a reply letter to Wang Shangshu to explain the difficulties of Henan Road. I hope Wang Shangshu can understand." After that, Zhang Guo bent down and sat down, and soon wrote a very earnest letter. Luo Shiji, who was serving the pen and ink, wanted to speak but stopped. Lord Zhang had already offended Yuan Rukui, and handed the letter over to him, even Wang Jihe had offended him! But after following Zhang Guo for a long time, he knew his character, so he did not say anything to dissuade him.

"Hmph! You don't know the mercy!" The letter was slapped on the table by Wang Jihe. Now there is undercurrents in the morning. How can you let you stay alone? "Since this person cannot be used by me, then don't worry about him anymore! Come and ask the Ministry of War for supplies in the future, and everything will be done according to the rules!" Wang Jihe said the word "rules" heavily. (To be continued.)
