Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 16 Buying Grain
The Feng family's carriage was directly chopped up and used as firewood. As for the horse, it was mixed in the veterinary department and had no flaws.

"President Zhu, there is no way to repay your life-saving grace!"

Li Jingwu's eyes were full of tears, but he didn't let go of Zhu Yixi's hand.

Not to mention, after half a month of training, Li Jingwu was able to speak out of breath, Dr. Jing's medical skills are really good.

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

You just have to be a cow and a horse.

Zhu Yixi said earnestly, "Take good care of your injuries, and you'll be fine after a while."

"Yeah!" Li Jingwu glanced at the chicken soup on the dining table, feeling more and more grateful in his heart.

Zhu Yixi smiled, and then went to their respective beds one by one and brought chicken soup.

It took a whole morning to get back and forth before I could finish my busy work.

"How many officers have lived here?" Zhu Yixi sat paralyzed, panting heavily.

"In the past half a month, one person has been recruited, the general manager has three people, the team leader (in charge of hundreds of people) has four people, and there are more than ten people in charge. You have finished running all morning."

Holding the list, Zhu Jing said with concern on her face: "Sovereign, let me run for this trivial matter in the future, don't get tired."

"Thirteen, you are still young and don't understand!" Zhu Yixi smiled and said meaningfully: "I bought chicken soup for them out of my own pocket. This is a favor, and at the very least, it can also form a good relationship."

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

Zhu Jing nodded in confusion.

Ten chickens a day, but only five taels of silver, can make friends with dozens of people, and he is an officer, so it is worth it.

"It's not okay to go out and buy chicken all the time!"

Zhu Yixi still felt a little distressed about the money. He turned around and wanted to start a chicken farm and 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 fetch water from a bamboo basket.

"Thirteen, you tell the big guy that if you grow up in the future, you will have a bowl of chicken soup every day, and an ordinary soldier will get an egg every day."

Zhu Yixi decided to carry out buying people's hearts to the end.

Li Jingwu is a cavalry soldier with hundreds of men under his command. If he holds the captain, he will earn a net profit of hundreds of cavalry without accident.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yixi's mood became more and more joyful.

In the upstream of the General Medical Office, a camp was also set up, which is where the teenagers' boarding school is located.

Naturally, the hundred youths recruited could not be members of the clan, they were just ordinary youths who paid a hundred dollars a month for food and lodging.

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

The teenagers were in a mess and collided with each other.

"Damn it!" Seeing the suzerain watching, Zhu Meng instantly became angry from embarrassment. He hurriedly waved the stick in his hand, cursing, "If you mess up again, don't eat eggs at night."

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

"Sovereign!" Zhu Meng was very embarrassed.

"After all, they are no match for you."

Zhu Yixi shook his head, not paying attention.

It has been six to seventy years since the establishment of Zongxue in the Wanli period, and the children of the clan are more or less literate, and have studied for two years.

Zhu Meng is in his thirties, and he studied Zongxue during the reign of Tianqi, and he can still know a few hundred words.

"I'll teach your queue, don't copy it mechanically!"

Zhu Yixi looked at the teenagers who couldn't tell the left from the left, and hurried over and asked them to take off the shoe on the eating hand.

"Remember, from now on, the ones on the left will have shoes, and the ones on the right will have no shoes."

With a shout, the teenagers nodded seriously, knowing that this is the parent of food and clothing.

Immediately, the training of the queue gradually went smoothly.

Zhu Yixi nodded in satisfaction.

It is true that the modern formation is not a panacea. It can turn ordinary soldiers and horses into Yan Shuangying, but it can cultivate the obedience of the army.

Furthermore, the teenagers are all malnourished and poor in physique. Queuing is the most suitable method for them, and they can replenish their bodies while training.

Of course, the most important thing is that because of his youth, it is convenient to cultivate loyal thoughts.

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

However, even if it is empty pay, the food allocated by Governor Sun is not enough to train soldiers, let alone eat enough.

The food is empty, there is no supply, and the price of food in the market remains high, and Zhu Yixi feels distressed when buying it.

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

How can King Qin, who has dominated Xi'an for hundreds of years, be short of food?
"How is Chang Shi?" Zhu Yixi greeted with a smile on his face.

Zhang Shijiong was startled, and said puzzledly, "I said, General Doctor Zhu, it's not time for the handover yet, is it?"

"Oh, that's right!" Zhu Yixi knew that he was talking about the Compendium of Materia Medica, and hurriedly said, "I just miss you recently, so I came to see it."

As he spoke, he held up a wooden box wrapped in yellow silk, a fine jade Buddha, which looked pleasing.

"Huh?" Zhang Shijiong frowned, took it to him and looked at it carefully, the corners of his mouth curled up, and then said: "We are close friends, why are you so polite?"

"Tell me, what are you looking at in the palace again?"

What he said, it seemed that the palace belonged to him.

However, this is true. The young Qin King, facing the long history with supervisory power, how can he be his opponent?
"Isn't this a shortage of food in the army?"

Zhu Yixi was not embarrassed either, and said frankly, "It will take another month for the summer grain to enter the market. There is a shortage of grain and grass in the army. I heard that the palace has hundreds of thousands of shi of grain, so I came to look for you."

"It's okay to talk to King Qin directly!"

Zhang Shijiong kept his eyes fixed, and with a smile, he still played with it. This Jade Buddha is more than a thousand taels.

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

Zhu Yixi laughed.

"Then can't you see King Qin? Why did you find me?"

Zhang Shijiong reluctantly put it down and said in doubt.

"If I were to find King Qin, wouldn't I lose money from you?"

Zhu Yixi smiled lightly and said, "How can our relationship shorten your benefits?"

"Hahahaha, that's the reason!"

Zhang Shijiong also laughed, and he laughed 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 his index finger.

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

Zhang Shijiong had hesitation on his face, and then said decisively:
"Two taels per stone, I can sell you a thousand stones."

It was half cheaper, and Zhu Yixi reckoned that he could eat it, so he reluctantly said: "Okay, that's enough for the time being, I will act as Governor Sun, thank you."

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

Zhang Shijiong shook his head, and said seriously: "Your General Doctor Zhu has the greatest face."

"Hahaha!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.

After leaving Zhang Zhai, Zhu Yixi thought in his heart, this Prince Qin's Mansion is simply a cornucopia, it has everything, and the accumulation of 200 years cannot be underestimated.

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

And here, Zhang Shijiong met the King of Qin and said, "Your Highness, after a while, summer grain will have to enter the market. Taking advantage of the high price of grain, the stored grain has to be taken out to bask in the sun as soon as possible, to remove insects, and it is easy to grow." Sell."

"That's it."

Zhu Cunji realized that it made sense and nodded seriously.

Naturally, the loss of one thousand shi for more than a hundred thousand shi of grain is a normal loss.
