Ye Xiaochuan's Yi Ya craftsmanship has never deteriorated over the years. The two old men were so excited to eat that they wanted to swallow their tongues.
Originally, Yu Haisang and Shi Jingtian were a little bit dissatisfied with Ye Xiaochuan's dinner with so much messy food.
According to the internal rules of Confucianism, the Taishan saints of all dynasties lived on grains and rarely ate meat or other foods.
But seeing that the two teachers were enjoying themselves, they couldn't say much.
As long as the two teachers like it, the rules can be temporarily waived.
Ye Xiaochuan was very pleased to see that the two saints liked to eat the food they made.
Sometimes he thinks that if it had not been Xiaochi who picked him up and he had not been taken into Cangyun by his mentor, if he had been lucky enough to survive, he might have become a world-famous chef now.
When Ye Xiaochuan and others were having dinner.
Only three to four hundred miles away from Mount Tai to the north is Hejian Mansion, and next to Hejian is Cangzhou.
Late at night, many young people wearing red clothes and devil masks appeared near Fucheng in Cangzhou, totaling about two hundred people.
About ten miles outside the south gate of Cangzhou Prefecture, there is a forest.
A man wearing a devil's fang mask flew from the city gate and took off his mask, revealing a young and beautiful woman.
She said: "Brother Shuangquan, that's right, the word Cangzhou is written on the city gate, this is Cangzhou."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.
A tall and strong young man said: "It's shameful. It's such a shame. If Master knew that we took the wrong path and traveled more than three thousand miles in vain, why wouldn't you call us idiots?"
A group of people immediately became unhappy.
Most of this group of two hundred people are from the Fengzi Sect, and some are from the Tianzi Sect.
The place where they grab food is the farthest.
However, according to the original plan, they should arrive at Hejian and Cangzhou Prefecture at dusk today.
It’s unimaginable that this group of young people, who have been cultivating in caves for these years, entered the colorful world of Middle-earth for the first time, and actually got lost.
It took a full three hours to find Cangzhou Prefecture on the map.
The tall and strong young man said: "Only God knows and we know about getting lost. We must not let others know. Otherwise, don't blame me, Ao Shuangquan, for being rude."
Everyone nodded immediately.
Such a shameful thing is better left rotting in the stomach.
If word spreads, even if Master doesn't punish him, he will be laughed at by the other four sects.
Seeing that everyone had sworn not to tell anyone, Ao Shuangquan and the other five hall masters of Fengzi Sect nodded with satisfaction.
Take out the map and start assigning work.
Ao Shuangquan said: "There is still one hour before Zi Shi, so we have enough time.
We divided our troops into two groups. I took Qinglong, Baihu, and Taiyin brothers and sisters and went straight to Taipingcang in Hejian Mansion.
Xiaoshi, you take your Zhuque Hall, Xuanwu Hall, and Xuanyang Hall to grab the Taipingcang of Cangzhou Prefecture here.
We made a quick decision and left before the nearby cultivators and the monks from the Royal Cultivation Academy could react. When we left, we followed the original plan and broke into pieces to assemble at Kunlun Mountain.
Remember, Master doesn't like people who kill indiscriminately. This time we are only grabbing food and trying not to hurt anyone."
The little beauty who went to inquire about the news immediately nodded.
Said: "Brother Shuangquan, don't worry, grabbing a few Taiping warehouses is nothing to us.
It's getting late, you are still some distance from Hejian Mansion, so hurry up and set off."
Ao Shuangquan gave some more instructions before leaving with Qinglong, Baihu and Taiyin Hall.
Among the five existing sects, the Fengzi Sect started to have the smallest battle for the sect master.
The current five hall masters of Fengzimen are Ao Shuangquan, the master of Qinglong Hall, and Liu Yichi, the master of White Tiger Hall.
A poem by Gu, the master of Zhuque Hall.
Huo Zhi, the leader of Xuanwu Hall.
The leader of Taiyin Hall is Li Yuanshui.
Shi Qifeng, the master of Xuanyang Hall.
Among the six hall masters, the one with the most outstanding leadership talent is Ao Shuangquan, the master of Qinglong Hall.
So everyone knows that when Master promotes the sect leader in the future, Ao Shuangquan is the best choice to be the leader of Fengzi Sect.
Of course, a trivial matter like getting lost on your first move can only be regarded as an insignificant episode in life, which is not worthy of comment to outsiders.
In recent years, the imperial court has adopted the strategy of building high walls and hoarding grain in order to fight catastrophic battles.
Building high walls means strengthening various passes and important cities.
Accumulating grain extensively means building a large amount of grain and grass.
The granaries controlled by the imperial court were roughly divided into two types.
One is Taipingcang and the other is Guangpingcang.
In fact, there is not much difference between the two. They are both imperial grains. If there is a real difference, it is that one mainly serves the people and the other serves the court.
The imperial grain in the Taipingcang was mainly the grain tax paid by the people.
The grain in the Guangping warehouse mainly comes from taxes collected by gentry, landlords, and dignitaries from all over the country, as well as grain donated to the imperial court by them.
According to the latest statistics, China currently has more than 13,000 Taiping warehouses and more than 4,000 Guangping warehouses.
This time Guixuanzong's target is Taipingcang.
The main reason is that this year, Guangping warehouses across the world have completed the five-year replacement of old grain with new grain.
However, due to Yang Ershi's corruption in Taipingcang, the replacement of old and new grains has not yet been completed.
Ye Xiaochuan is not an inhumane person, and he must consider the life and death of the people in China when robbing food.
So the grain they grabbed were all Taiping warehouses filled with five-year-old grain.
If the new grain is stolen, the court may ask the farmers to make up for the shortfall, which will make it impossible for the local people to survive.
Cangzhou Prefecture is not big, far less than Hejian Prefecture, but it is a vast plain that is thousands of miles away. It is one of the three major granaries in the world, especially wheat, with a high yield.
Therefore, there are many Taiping warehouses in Cangzhou Prefecture.
After Ao Shuangquan and others left, Gu Xiaoshi, the leader of Fengzi Sect's Zhuque Hall, began to gather everyone, used his skills at low altitude, and headed towards the direction of the Taiping Cang marked on the map.
It didn't take long to find the location of the barn in the west city of Cangzhou Prefecture.
Throughout the ages, cities have been facing south, with the east being more expensive and the west being less expensive.
Rich dignitaries almost always live in the East City or the North City. Most of them are craftsmen in the South City, and most of them are in the West City whose economic strength is not very good.
Therefore, most of the cities in Middle-earth and the Western City are very depressed.
For example, the granary, prison, and infantry patrol camp are all located in Xicheng.
In order to store grain, the imperial court expanded its granaries aggressively. Cangzhou City originally had only three granaries in Taipingcang, but now it has eight large granaries.
Food is a good thing, and it is guarded by the army.
I searched around the area and found out all the troops stationed there.
There are many soldiers guarding the eight granaries of Cangzhou Prefecture, more than 300 people, which is probably the establishment of a battalion of the imperial court.
But they are not regular soldiers, they are either old men or women and children.
There is really no challenge for one hundred Lingji masters to rob the granary guarded by three hundred old and weak soldiers.
