The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 75 That’s the rice you want

Fang Yu asked Old Man Zhao and Yan Xiucai to come out to greet Sun Chuanting and others. In fact, he wanted them to become familiar with each other.

From now on, the transportation and handover of supplies will be a long-term matter, and the people responsible for doing it will be Sun Chuanting's subordinates, as well as Old Man Zhao and Yan Xiucai.

When Yan Xiucai met Mr. Sun for the first time, he was inevitably excited. It took him a long time to hold back his words: "Your Majesty, please follow me."

Sun Chuanting left the soldiers outside and led the general soldiers into the city gate.

Niu Chenghu and others did not dare to speak loudly, but their eyes were looking left and right.

What you see is a large number of sheds and busy construction sites everywhere. Apart from being a little tidy, there is nothing special about it.

Then they saw the bell tower from a distance. The sun was shining brightly at this time, and the women's watches on the bell tower gave off a golden light.

They wanted to get closer and take a look, but Sun Chuanting stopped them with a heavy cough.

The road to the brick kiln was not the same as there, and they could only look at the golden light with regret.

As Sun Chuanting was walking, he suddenly thought of something.

So he reached out and touched in his sleeve, and then pulled out a small wooden sign.

Sun Chuanting carefully pinned the small wooden sign to his chest.

Niu Chenghu and others were also curious about what the governor was up to. They took a quick look at the small wooden sign and saw two lines written in red pen on it.

The top line of text is smaller and reads: Laishui County No. [-] Experimental Primary School.

The larger words below are the title: Vice President Sun Chuanting.

Niu Chenghu and Bai Guangen really couldn't figure out the situation. They probably understood what elementary school meant, but how could the Governor...

Then I heard Sun Chuanting exhort me: "Remember, you don't need to call me by my official position here from now on, just call me Vice President Sun."

Niu Chenghu, Bai Guangen:...

Since that day, Sun Chuanting took the initiative to ask for a vice principal. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that it is the right decision.

why?
In the past, Fang Shenzi always called him Sun Chuanting, Master Sun. This title was really too unfamiliar!Very detrimental to enhancing feelings.

it's good now.

Master Sun has now become Vice Principal Sun. This is not an official position in the imperial court, but a member of the Xincheng camp.

It means that Sun Chuanting will no longer be an outsider.

Sun Chuanting was just thinking about something when he heard Niu Chenghu ask: "What is that white thing?"

Old man Zhao, who was leading the way, replied: "That's the rice you want."

Niu Chenghu and Bai Guangen:...

They had seen the scene of mountains of grain piling up in the Taicang transfer warehouse, but where had anyone thrown rice like this?The most important thing is that these rice-sized ones... are too outrageous!

Sun Chuanting also raised his head, and his field of vision was filled with white flowers.

Just as he had heard from Min Wen Gong, these rice grains were all round and as big as a mill basin. They were piled densely on the ground, from here to the foot of the farthest city wall.

Although Sun Chuanting had already prepared for this, he was still shocked by this scene.

The visual impact of hearing and real is of course different.

In fact, the handful of rice that Teacher Pan squeezed was not that much.

Now it looks like they are all over the place, but the total should not exceed [-] stones.

The current water transportation, that is, the grain delivered from the south of the Yangtze River to the Tongzhou warehouse of Shuntian Prefecture every year, exceeds 400 million shi every year.However, millions of people need to be supported by water transportation and grain transportation, and now Sun Chuanting only needs to support the army.

Of course, if Sun Chuanting had the ability to move out at once, Teacher Pan wouldn't mind paying him 4000 million dan.

Yan Xiucai came for a large scale (to weigh the average and show it to Sun Chuanting), then took out a small book and began to count the numbers.

The accounts with Sun Chuanting still need to be clearly stated, and materials cannot be given casually just because they are easy to come by.

Confusing accounts will eventually lead to confusing things, which neither Fang Yu nor Sun Chuanting want to see.

After a short period of surprise, Niu Chenghu and the others have now run into the piece of rice. They are all generals. Looking at such a big piece of rice, how can a general do it without lifting it?
So under Sun Chuanting's annoyed gaze, each of them... lifted up a grain of rice (they couldn't hold it or lift it) and posed happily.

It would be perfect if I could take a photo of them with a mobile phone at this time.

Sun Chuanting saw that Yan Xiucai had already counted an area, so he called over his general Luo Shangwen and said, "Go and see if the young men in the county have arrived. When they arrive, let them come in to carry food."

Just as Luo Shangwen was about to leave, Sun Chuanting warned again: "Send some people in to watch them, and don't allow them to run around at will, so as not to cause trouble in the camp."

He knew that Fang Shenzi had not recruited new workers for several days in order to prevent bad people from sneaking in.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting, the young man from the county, should be more careful.

Well, there are also those bandits who have their ideas here.

Without Fang Shenzi opening his mouth, Sun Chuanting had already entrusted Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue, who promised to start a clearing operation in the near future.

Alas, I don’t know if the bandit den will still be there after the bandit Liu Bagou returns.

After Niu Chenghu and the others played with rice grains at close range, they now gathered around Sun Chuanting, with smiles on their faces.

They had all fought in Henan and Shaanxi for a long time. They knew that the most powerful enemy there was not the bandits but famine.

As long as famine exists, there will never be an end to the rogue bandits there.

Have you seen how many times Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were defeated?
At the worst time, Li Zicheng was beaten to only 18 riders, and within a year, he had already made a comeback.

To eliminate the bandits, we must first eliminate famine. They all know this.

And here, there is endless food that can eliminate famine.

Among these people, the one who is most eager to eliminate the rogue bandits is Gao Jie, the deputy commander-in-chief of Jizhou.

why?

Because he was a bandit in the past, his nickname was "Mountain Harrier".

The most powerful thing is that he also relied on his handsomeness to seduce Li Zicheng's wife Xing away...

Li Zicheng is now the general leader of the Central Plains bandits (only Zhang Xianzhong refuses to accept it), and his hatred for his wife is irreconcilable. Can he spare Gao Jie?
Therefore, if Gao Jie wants to save his life and the Xing family to continue to live freely, then he must eliminate the bandits and kill Li Zicheng.

He was also smiling the most proudly now. He smiled at Sun Chuanting and said: "The Governor..."

Sun Chuanting frowned, and Gao Jie immediately changed his tune and said, "Vice Principal Sun, this is good! This time we have soldiers and food, and the people of the Central Plains can be saved!"

Haha, don’t use the people of the Central Plains as a cover!Everyone present, including Sun Chuanting, knew what he was thinking.

So Sun Chuanting didn't need to pay attention to him at all.

Niu Chenghu sighed and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed there was such rice in the world."

Bai Guangen shook his head and corrected: "General Niu is wrong. There is no such rice in the world. This is given to us by the gods from heaven."

Niu Chenghu nodded after hearing this, but thought to himself that this rice was so big, if Pan Shenxian grabbed a handful of rice and it fell from the sky.

Even if Li Zicheng has an army of one million, he can't handle it. Why should we go to war?
