"Although the quantity of this food is not large, it can definitely sustain our people for a while. You don't know how the people below live. They couldn't even keep food and clothing. Now they have no home and want to eat.
It is even more difficult to have enough food to eat, and we cannot provide food for disaster relief. If this continues, there may be a civil commotion. Now, no matter who gives us food, even if it is humiliating, we have to take it, not to mention
If he were a great hero..."
The voice of the following words became smaller and smaller, and Long Jintu could no longer hear clearly, but he heard the previous words clearly. According to his father's wishes, this batch of food outside is very urgent, and we must take it.
After General Long finished speaking, he led his men out of the tent. Sure enough, there were dozens of trucks parked on the playground in the distance, with disaster relief food written on them and the banner of Qin Guogong.
Do you want to buy a good reputation with just forty carts of grain?
Although General Long didn't know what was going on, he took his men over to see what Zhang Yuncheng had to say. If you want to buy a good reputation with only these dozens of carts of food, then you might as well do it
Don't show it to disgust people. How many meals can these dozens of carts of grain feed?
"Greetings to General Long."
Seeing General Long's handsome flag coming over, Zhang Yuncheng greeted General Long honestly. At this time, General Long felt a little hot on his face. They were following the etiquette, but his subordinates were a bit unreasonable.
General Long's rank is high, but it does not mean that the people under you are also high-level. After Zhang Yuncheng salutes you, according to the rules of the Daqian Empire, your men must also salute others, but no matter it is
The last meeting was this one, and none of General Long's men made any move.
Ahem...
General Long coughed slightly, and then his subordinates realized what he was doing and saluted Zhang Yuncheng one after another.
Zhang Yuncheng was also a little confused and didn't know what General Long meant, but he also accepted the courtesy from these people.
"General Zhang, what does this mean?"
General Long is unwilling to waste time on these matters. The most important thing now is the food behind him. The victims are almost uncontrollably hungry. He urgently needs to transfer the frontline troops back to stabilize the situation everywhere, but the most important thing is
If we can raise food, as long as the people have something to eat, who will stand up and cause trouble?
"General Huilong, these grains were sent over by the orders of our Duke. They are divided into four batches of grains. The current dozens of carts and the 350 carts in our military camp are the first batch, and the following are about three batches.
One batch per day can feed more than 200,000 people for a month."
After Zhang Yuncheng's words came out, everyone present was moved. They had been worried about food for the past few days and their hair turned gray. However, the three southwestern provinces are usually very poor and have no so-called food reserves at all, so there is no such thing at this time.
They came up with ways to provide disaster relief, but they didn't expect that their old enemy would send such a large batch of food.
After the initial surprise, General Long's expression returned to its original state. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Of course he understood this very well. The Suppression Army has no friendship with us and must be asking for something from us.
Yes, otherwise how could they have sent food?
"I'm afraid you don't have such a good heart. If you really had such a good heart, you wouldn't have sent us food when we were hit by disasters in previous years."
General Long did not speak, but his eldest son could not hold his breath. When his eldest son spoke out, the surrounding officials from the three southwest provinces also looked inquiringly. We ourselves know what the relationship between the two of us is.
If you suddenly send so much food, it must be the weasel paying New Year greetings to the chicken, and it has no good intentions.
"In the past, the Duke of Guo was not awarded the title of General Pingnan. Now he is the General of Pingnan. He controls the military affairs of the three southern provinces. All these grains are the military rations saved by the suppressing army. If General Long is willing to ask for it,
We will send people to deliver the food. If General Long doesn’t want it, at worst we can just take it back. Why say such hurtful words? Aren’t we under the banner of the same empire?”
After Zhang Yuncheng finished speaking, he looked at the golden dragon flag in General Long's team. It was exactly the same as ours. If General Long dared to say no, then this guy must want to rebel.
Although there are many warlords, they all keep the golden dragon flag. After all, it is a symbol of the Daqian Empire.
"you…"
When Long Jintu heard these words that were so harsh, he wanted to refute a few words, but found that he didn't know where to start. The other party's words were so accurate that if he refuted such words, it would be easy for him and his son to refute.
Two people are charged with treason. If this is the case, it will not be easy to get along in the future.
Although General Long has repeatedly said that he wants independence, he is basically just letting the wind go. He also understands that independence will not be good for him. So many warlords across the country have not declared independence. If he declares it himself, he will immediately
He will become the target of public criticism. If the entire empire falls into war because of his independence, then General Long will be the historical sinner of the entire empire.
"You mean you personally transport the grain to the three southwestern provinces and distribute it to the people yourself?"
General Long thought about what he just said carefully. Other things are not important, only this matter is important. If the Suppression Army sends troops on the grounds of protecting food security, then General Long will definitely not be willing to do so. He will not be able to
Let the Suppression Army enter the land of the three southwestern provinces.
"Please forgive me, General. There is nothing we can do to do this. We and you will find a large number of corrupt officials every year. This batch of food is very important, and it is all distributed to the victims. If it is handed over to those officials,
The general and I should both understand that the victims will have less food..."
Zhang Yuncheng's words did not give any face to the officials present, and they felt a burning sensation on their faces. To be honest, many people really focused on providing food for disaster relief. You have to know the current food supply.
It is more than ten times more expensive than usual. As long as you are a little bit corrupt, you can make enough money to eat and drink for a lifetime. It would be a lie to say that you are not tempted, not to mention that everyone is a habitual criminal... This chapter has been completed!
