Chapter 103
Yun Zhishen was still very smart, so after the looting, he distributed part of the food to the people.Take away all the money and valuables of officials and merchants in the city.

What you can't take with you, share it out.

The local people are not having a good time, and they get food for nothing, how can they not say that General Yun is good?

General Luo had no choice but to collect food from the city.

Now General Yun is here to distribute food.

How do the common people know what your difficulties are?Anyway, I have food to eat now, that's a good thing.

Moreover, he even gathered more than 1 scattered remnants.

Give money, give food.

Wasn't the reason why the court's soldiers were defeated because they didn't have enough to eat?
Now that I can eat enough and pay back the money, who should I call or not?

There is no burden for them to defect.

In this way, Yun Zhishen only needs to allocate a part of his troops to Ganyang Mansion.

There is still half of Liaocheng in the middle to buffer.

You can move forward or backward.

In just a few months, Yunzhishen has occupied three cities and dozens of counties.

To the west of the Fen River, he occupies a small half.

At this time, the emperor also knew that the situation was urgent.

So he sent people to urgently collect food and grass, and ordered General Song, the guard general of Wanzhou Prefecture, and General Xu of the Ministry of War to rush to help.

Wanzhou dispatched [-] soldiers, and Anping Mansion dispatched [-] soldiers.

Seven or eight generals from the Ministry of War went there, and one of them was General Hu.

As for General Zhu, who went to the northwest to deliver military rations last time, he still didn't get the chance to go to the battlefield after returning.

Just a few days after the army set off, news came from Yuping Prefecture and Chuanning Prefecture one after another that local locusts had crossed the border.Crops were mostly destroyed.

After the locusts passed, there would be thousands of miles of barren land, and not a single blade of grass would grow.

And the most worrying thing is that the locusts came from the grassland.

In other words, Beiyi may have been harmed.

In this way, it is only feared that the Beiyi people will loot some more before winter begins.

This is really a leak in the house, but it rains all night, and the boat is late and meets the headwind.

It seems that there is no grain harvest in the north this year, and the imperial court has to provide disaster relief.

Then this military ration has to be pressed on the heads of the people in other places.

No matter how confused the emperor was, he knew that if he defeated Yun Zhishen and crossed the Fen River, he would soon be in Gyeonggi.

It's still far away, but Dayuan Jiangshan still loses its territory?

When the national treasury has no money to support it, it can only increase taxes.No matter how you look at it, everything is going downhill.

Su Nancheng changed into a robe and put on a jacket.The weather is not good this year either.

The locusts plagued the north, and there was a cold rain in the capital. For two consecutive days, the weather became cold.

This winter, I don't know how.

"Young master, I heard that many people in the capital are buying grain. They say that there is a disaster in the north. This year may be a disaster year. The court is raising grain again. I'm afraid the price of grain will increase this year." Lian Sheng said when he left the mansion.

"Oh, then go back and talk to the houses on both sides and ask them to prepare some too."

As for the mansion, he doesn't care.

"Hey." Lian Sheng nodded.

I just went to the Ministry of Industry for a while, and I heard someone talk about something.

"I heard from the Ministry of War that the people who exterminated the Peacock Cult in the south have been recalled. Is this a matter of neglect?"

Su Nancheng answered: "Now that you've come back and haven't caught the culprit, isn't it a credit?"

"Hey, what more credit do you need? The higher-ups can tell you that General Luo will come back this time to question the crime. The one who went to the south is General Fei, right? It's good to be back. If something happens, don't you also ask the crime? The general is not good these days do it."

Su Nancheng also shook his head and smiled: "Isn't it? I met an adult from the Ministry of War the day before yesterday, and I saw him with a dark face and a sad face from afar."

Master Zhao whispered: "You don't know yet, do you? Another tax increase..."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally sighed.

Although, this group of officials and gentlemen didn't seem to care about the common people much, or they didn't know how the common people lived.

But this kind of thing, you can still be happy after listening to it, that's rare.

Su Nancheng has seen the people in Xianzhou in the south of the Yangtze River make trouble, but no matter how much trouble there is, the people in Xianzhou will not starve to death.

But now that layers of taxes are added, I don't know what will happen.

But right now, it's good that General Fei can come back.Otherwise, he might not be able to provide money and food in Jiangnan.If you fight for a long time, something will happen.

At that time, it will not be worth the loss because of this crime.

Before Fei Jiu returned to Beijing, Su Nancheng went there.

Without thinking about this trip, I met General Zhu himself.

Very surprised: "The officer has seen General Zhu."

General Zhu was also very surprised when he saw him: "Why is Master Xiao Su here?"

"...I was thinking about it, General Fei has not returned yet, and the sky is changing now. So come here to see what is needed in the mansion." Su Nancheng said.

General Zhu was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "It's a coincidence. It's also fate to meet you, so why don't you let him sit here?"

Su Nancheng smiled: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Su Nancheng knew that Fei Jiu didn't like to meddle in the mansion's affairs, so he came to tell him that he would be back soon.

Ask the mansion here to prepare some, and he can send what is lacking.

General Zhu probably meant the same thing.

After all, Fei Jiu is the only master in this mansion, and he is not at home, so he took all his trusted lieutenants away.

There are only servants in the house.

"I know you come and go often, but you come here even if he's not here." General Zhu said.

"Probably thinking about General Fei. He has been away for a long time. Recently, there has been a lot of news in the capital, and it is said that the price of food has risen, and that the price of charcoal fire has also increased in winter. I thought, there is no such thing as these, just thinking in my heart, come on." Take a look, it's best to wait for the general to come back and get everything settled."

General Zhu nodded: "You are careful. He has no wife, no concubine, and no heirs. In the past, Lao Hu and I were the only ones close to him. Now Lao Hu is not here. It is a good thing that you often come. But he is a general after all. Yours You still have to pay attention to your identity."

Without waiting for Su Nancheng to speak, he said again: "It's also considered that I talk too much, you are also paying attention these days."

"General Zhu's reminder is that the lower officials will be careful."

"General, I don't know...how about the Northwest? If it's inconvenient, the general doesn't say anything. I'm just curious, why did you lose so quickly?" Su Nancheng asked.

After hearing this, General Zhu's face was extremely ugly.

He came to Feijiu's place today, not necessarily for relaxation.

"I really didn't expect... I really didn't expect that the soldiers of the Great Yuan would be able to get to where they are today. No wonder Jinzhou fell so easily." General Zhu took a deep breath: "Do you know that the soldiers in the army are ten miles away? , Can't make up three sets of armor? Some soldiers haven't received military pay for more than a year."

"Usually in the camp, I only have one meal a day..."

"The military salaries and rations I sent over are just a drop in the bucket. It is precisely because General Luo knows this that he has been unable to start the war. You can't let the soldiers fight hungry, can you?"

"All the military camps are dissatisfied with the real numbers... I know there are dissatisfied, but I didn't expect that ten out of ten would save seven! I don't know where the money and food went!"

　Su Yicheng: I feel like I'm gradually losing my name.
