Chapter 15 Buying Grain

 The Feng family's carriage was chopped up and used as firewood. As for the horse, it was mixed up in the veterinary department without any flaws.

"Mr. Zhu, there is no way I can repay you for saving my life!"

Li Jingwu had tears in his eyes and held Zhu Yixi's hand without letting go.

Not to mention, after half a month of training, Li Jingwu could breathe and speak, and Dr. Jing's medical skills were indeed good.

"Captain Li, this is what I should do."

All you have to do is be a cow or a horse.

Zhu Yixi said earnestly: "Take good care of your injuries, and you will be fine in a while."

"Yeah!" Li Jingwu glanced at the chicken soup on the dinner table and felt even more grateful in his heart.

Zhu Yixi smiled, then went to each hospital bed one by one and brought chicken soup.

It took a whole morning of walking around before I could finish my busy work.

"How many officers are there?" Zhu Yixi sat slumped and gasped.

"In the past half month, I have recruited one chief Qian, three generals, four captains (in charge of hundreds of people), and more than ten captains. You have finished all the work in the morning."

Zhu Jing held the list and said with a concerned look on her face: "Sect Master, from now on, just let me run for this little matter. Don't be tired."

"Thirteen, you are too young to understand!" Zhu Yixi smiled and said meaningfully: "I used my own money to buy chicken soup for them. This is a favor. At the very least, it can create a good relationship."

"When they go back, won't my reputation be spread?"

Zhu Jing nodded ignorantly.

Ten chickens a day, for only five taels of silver, you can make friends with dozens of people, and they are also officers, so it's worth it.

“It’s not okay to go out and buy chickens all the time!”

Zhu Yixi still felt a little worried about money. He turned around and wanted to make a chicken farm to raise some chickens and ducks.

But looking back, in this era, there are no vaccines. Chickens and ducks are raised in groups, and it is easy to get chicken plague. Without the guidance of science and technology, it is easy to achieve nothing.

"Thirteen, tell me, if you grow up, you will need a bowl of chicken soup every day, and for ordinary soldiers, you will need an egg every day."

Zhu Yixi decided to follow through on winning people's hearts.

Li Jingwu was a cavalryman with a hundred men under his command. If he captured the captain, he would make a net profit of a hundred cavalrymen.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yixi felt more and more happy.

A camp was also set up upstream of the General Medical Office, where the young people's boarding school was located.

Naturally, the one hundred young men recruited cannot be members of the clan, they are just ordinary young men who are responsible for food, accommodation and a hundred dollars a month.

"Turn left -" Zhu Meng stood in front and shouted.

The teenagers suddenly became confused and collided with each other.

"Damn it!" When Zhu Meng saw the sect leader watching, he immediately became angry and hurriedly waved the stick in his hand while cursing: "If anyone messes up again, don't eat eggs at night."

The power of these words was huge, and soon the teenagers gathered together.

"Sect Master!" Zhu Meng was very embarrassed.

"After all, they can't compare to you."

Zhu Yixi shook his head, not taking it seriously.

It has been sixty or seventy years since the clan was established during the Wanli period, and the clan's children are still more or less literate and have attended school for two years.

Zhu Meng was in his thirties. He had studied Zongxue during the Tianqi period and could still read a few hundred words.

"The queue I taught you cannot be copied mechanically!"

Zhu Yixi looked at the teenagers who couldn't tell the difference between the left and right, and hurriedly came over and asked them to take off the shoes on the hand they were eating.

"Remember, from now on, those on the left are those with shoes, and those on the right are without shoes."

After shouting, the teenagers nodded seriously, knowing that this person is the one who provides food and clothing.

Immediately, the training of the queue gradually became smoother.

Zhu Yixi nodded with satisfaction.

It is true that modern formations are not omnipotent and can turn ordinary soldiers and horses into swallows and double eagles, but they can cultivate the obedience of the army.

Furthermore, the teenagers are all malnourished and in poor physical condition, so queueing is the most suitable method for them, to replenish their bodies while training.

Of course, the most important thing is that just because you are young, it is easy to cultivate a sense of loyalty.

It is impossible to form combat effectiveness within a few years, but you can become a supervising team.

However, even with empty pay, the food allocated by Governor Sun was not enough to train the troops, let alone eat enough.

There is no supply of food, there is no supply, and the price of food on the market remains high. Zhu Yixi feels distressed when buying.

But, at this moment, he thought of Prince Qin's Mansion again.

How could the King of Qin, who had dominated Xi'an for hundreds of years, be short of food?

"How is Chang Shi?" Zhu Yixi greeted with a smile on her face.

Zhang Shijiong was startled and said in confusion: "I said, General Doctor Zhu, it's not the time to hand over yet, right?"

"Oh, that's right!" Zhu Yixi knew that he was talking about Compendium of Materia Medica and said hurriedly: "I've just been thinking about you recently, so I came here to take a look."

As he said this, he held up a wooden box wrapped in yellow silk and a fine jade Buddha, which looked pleasing to the eye.

"Huh?" Zhang Shijiong raised his brows, took it and looked at it carefully, raised the corners of his mouth, and then said: "We are familiar friends, why are you so polite."

"Tell me, what do you like about the palace again?"

He said this as if the palace belonged to him.

However, this is true. The young King of Qin, facing a long history with supervisory power, who is his opponent?

"Isn't this a lack of food in the army?"

Zhu Yixi was not embarrassed and said frankly: "There will be another month for summer grain to enter the market. There is some shortage of grain and grass in the army. I heard that the palace has more than 100,000 shi of grain, so I came to look for you."

"You can just talk to King Qin directly!"

Zhang Shijiong's eyes did not move, and he continued to play with a smile. This jade Buddha was more than a thousand taels.

"Isn't there a gap between the Royal Palace and Governor Sun?"

Zhu Yixi smiled.

"Then you can see King Qin? Why are you looking for me?"

Zhang Shijiong put it down reluctantly and said doubtfully.

"If I go to King Qin, won't I lose your profit?"

Zhu Yixi chuckled and said: "How can we deprive you of the benefits of our relationship?"

"Hahahaha, that's the truth!"

Zhang Shijiong also laughed, and he smiled very heartily. He pointed at Zhu Yixi and said, "You are an honest person, and I won't take advantage of you."

"How many stones do you want?"

Zhu Yixi raised her index finger.

"Ten thousand shi? It's too much, I can't explain it."

There was hesitation on Zhang Shijiong's face, and then he said decisively:

"Two taels for each stone, I can sell you a thousand stones."

It was half cheaper. Zhu Yixi estimated that she could eat it, so she reluctantly said: "Okay, that's enough for now. I'll thank you on behalf of Governor Sun."

"No, I'm not familiar with Governor Sun."

Zhang Shijiong shook his head and said seriously: "You, General Doctor Zhu, have the greatest reputation."

"Hahaha!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

After leaving Zhang's house, Zhu Yixi thought to herself, this Qin Prince's Mansion is simply a cornucopia, it has everything, and the accumulation of two hundred years cannot be underestimated.

It seems that Zhang Shijiong's line must be maintained well.

Here, Zhang Shijiong met the King of Qin and said: "Your Highness, in a while, summer grain will enter the market. Taking advantage of the high grain prices, the stored grains must be taken out to bask in the sun and remove insects, which will also cause diseases.

Sell."

"That's the truth."

Zhu Cunji realized that it made sense and nodded seriously.

Naturally, the loss of one thousand shi from the hundreds of thousands shi of food is a normal loss.
