Old Cheng had an impatient temper, but he never made trouble out of nothing. From the moment he opened his mouth, General Zuo guessed that this incident was most likely true, and his expression turned ugly.
The other generals looked at General Zuo one after another, guessing something from his expression.
Looking at Shangguan Yu who was playing with the wine glass, everyone's backs stiffened and they already understood the reason for today's banquet.
"Young Marshal, please give me one day to find out the whole story. If it is true as General Cheng said, I will personally escort him to the government. Then I will apologize to the Young Marshal and give him to the Zixiao Army."
All the officers and men will give an explanation." General Zuo stood up and asked for orders.
"It's time to check. Military regulations do not allow anyone to violate them. However, what General Zuo should do more is to give an explanation to those victims." Before anyone could intercede, Shangguan Yu said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I will obey your orders." General Zuo felt heavy in his heart.
After spending half his life in the army, he was slapped in the face because of his brother-in-law, because he didn't control him enough.
When the other generals heard this, they knew that Shangguan Yu knew something and was going to attack General Zuo.
Thinking that they don't go home often and don't know if there are such people among their relatives, everyone feels uneasy.
"Who else wants to take leave and go back for verification? Within these three days, I will give you time to take turns to take vacations. For all matters, after three days, I will ask you to personally report the results. You are not allowed to do anything within three days.
If you speak up, you will be punished for disobeying military orders." Shangguan Yu warned.
"Yes, Young Marshal." All the generals received the order, and the banquet ended.
There were only three days, and all the generals had to take turns to take vacations, but no one knew the reason, which made many people speculate whether a war was going to happen.
Shangguan Yu, on the other hand, began to arrange a group of supervisory troops, responsible for verifying the situation of the families of the Zixiao Army's fallen soldiers and sorting out the current situation of the disabled soldiers.
Three days passed in a flash, and Bai Ling was no longer in retreat.
We have prepared a lot of pills and skin care products, just waiting for the store to open.
As for food, Bai Ling only used some when rescuing victims, and kept the rest in case of emergency needs.
Especially after the relationship with Shangguan Yu was confirmed as a couple, Bai Ling felt that it was better to store more food and good herbs in case the Zixiao army was short of food and grass.
"Girl, ten carts of cattle and sheep furs will be delivered today, girl, do you want to personally inspect them?" Uncle Zhong asked when he saw Bai Ling coming to the restaurant.
"Uncle Zhong will just accept it. In addition, we will find some survivors of the fallen soldiers and ask them to help sew sheepskin waistcoats and Japanese cowhide shoes, mainly lightweight. Let them go, this batch of goods is prepared for the soldiers to spend the winter. When they arrive,
It will be sent to the military camp before winter. Anyone who has good quality furs can just send it. The more people working on it, the better, and the wages will be paid every day."
Bai Ling shook his head, told what to do, and then said:
"I have some things to deal with today, and I will probably come back later. There is a box of pearls on the table in my room. You can take it to make connections or sell it, and keep it as start-up capital here."
"Yes, I understand." Uncle Zhong handed over his hands and walked out, not disturbing Bai Ling's breakfast.
The habit I developed in the Bai family is to have a nutritious and light breakfast. If I eat alone, I will inevitably feel a little lonely and lose my appetite.
"It seems that I came at the right time, and I can still have breakfast at Linger's place." Shangguan Yu sat down next to Bai Ling.
After serving a new bowl of porridge to Bai Ling, Shangguan Yu stopped Bai Ling and ate the rest.
"I've already eaten this bowl, and it's already cold. You can have a new one." Bai Ling pushed the porridge bowl in front of him.
"I like to eat Ling'er's saliva, this is my exclusive benefit." Shangguan Yu said ambiguous words seriously.
Bai Ling choked, and when he looked at Shangguan Yu again, there was a hint of shyness in his eyes.
"Shangguan, is the snow disaster widespread in the north?" Bai Ling asked as he ate red date porridge slowly.
"North of the border, not only those tribes, but also Beichen Kingdom was severely affected. Xiyue Kingdom was the least affected, but several cities were also affected. It is estimated that there will be insufficient food and grass." Shangguan Yu replied that this matter is nothing.
Very hidden.
"The war has been going on for more than half a year. Is it because they have no food and grass that they decided to move to Zixiao City?" Bai Ling asked again.
"Yeah." Shangguan Yu nodded and swallowed the bun in his mouth before saying: "The land in Beichen and Huashan is barren, and the food output is not high. Those tribes mainly make a living by nomadic herders, and their food comes from the Eastern Han Dynasty, Beichen, and Huashan.
countries purchase or exchange livestock.”
"The other two big countries were also affected by the snow disaster, so they were unable to provide food to the tribe. And because of the snow disaster, the tribe's livestock died in large numbers and they had no money to buy food. So they decided to build Zixiao City together?" Bai Bai
Ling guessed the level and felt very complicated.
In this era, food production was not high, many people died of starvation, and many families sold their sons and daughters.
Especially in disaster years, it is normal to exchange children for food, and children are not worth a few days' worth of rice and grain.
But the years of disaster have already been difficult for people, and the war has undoubtedly made the situation worse, leaving the poor with no way to survive.
"Yes." Shangguan Yu nodded.
"Shangguan, do you know the actual situation of the disasters in these countries and tribes? If we can provide food and lend it to them in advance in the form of a contract, can we give the people a peaceful life?" Bai Ling asked after a moment of silence.
Hearing this, Shangguan Yu shook his head and said: "The food and grass for the Zixiao Army are all produced by Zixiao City or purchased from outside. The imperial court will only provide certain support in major battles. This battle has lasted more than half a year.
, almost exhausted the food and grass, and it is the limit of how long it can last until the autumn harvest. If the winter wheat planting had not been successful, there would have been no food left to accommodate the victims."
"I have my own way to deal with the food issue. I want to know, if this method is feasible, will that person agree? Will it bring you trouble?" Bai Ling moved Space's idea.
Whether it is food, herbs, livestock, or even wild beasts, as long as Bai Ling can come into contact, there is a large amount of inventory in the space.
"Does Ling'er know how much food will be needed once this plan is really implemented?" Shangguan Yu asked, fearing that Bai Ling didn't know the amount.
Although Bai Ling bought a lot of Zhuangzi and fields, it didn't last long. In addition to opening a cheap grain store and providing relief to the victims, he definitely didn't have much grain in hand.
"I don't know how to calculate accounts that are too complicated, but if we calculate it based on the food needed to relieve the victims, I can still provide enough food for three million people for half a year, but it is mainly coarse grains." Bai Ling said conservatively.
It's not that there isn't enough food in the space, it's that Bai Ling can't take out all of it.
Shangguan Yu looked at Bai Ling in shock. He couldn't guess the source of Bai Ling's food, but even if the Tian family knew about this amount, they would pay more attention to it.
"Ling'er, don't mention this matter to anyone. After I discuss it with my father, I will decide whether to report it to the court." Shangguan Yu said seriously: "If this method is feasible, Ling'er will not come forward at that time, just
Think of it as someone I secretly stocked up on."
"No!" Bai Ling shook his head and said: "I am a peasant girl and a businessman. It is normal for me to hoard food and grass. Even if I take it out at this time, it is also righteous. But you are a general. If someone wants to take advantage of you, it will be treason.
suspicion."
"I will never let you come forward! I will find someone else to take over." Shangguan Yu said firmly. (To be continued)
