After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 775: Collecting Supplies for the Wei Army

"Good news, good news. Lord Qin's family will hold a three-day banquet on March 30th, April 1st, and April 2nd. It is an auspicious day predicted by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. All villagers can go to the Qin family for the banquet, you can go to the Qin family for the banquet!!"

In an instant, the entire Taifeng Town was filled with such shouts.

Some people even ran to the sentry post outside the town, stood inside the sentry post, and shouted outside: "Bao family, Bao family, there is good news. Master Qin's family will start setting up a buffet on March 30th, and it will be set up for three consecutive days. It's an auspicious day predicted by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. You people outside the town can also come to the banquet!"

"Master Fan, the date for the banquet at Lord Qin's house has been set. The news just came out from the Office of the Officials..."

"Master Shi..."

"Mr. Tang..."

The people of Taifeng Town shouted outside, and all the rich families in the county who were waiting for news outside the town were overjoyed. They hurried to the people of Taifeng Town who they had hired and asked, "Are you serious? What do you want for the banquet? Can you give rice, flour, meat, vegetables, etc. to the Qin family for the banquet?!"

This?
"The clerk didn't say anything."

After hearing this, the outsider gave him more money and said, "Brother, go ask around. Many of our families want to send supplies to Lord Qin's family for the banquet, so that we can join in the fun of this great celebration!"

Recently, people in Taifeng Town have become really busy collecting money.

"We can get information, but we won't do anything more than that."

"Hey, hey, that's natural."

"Okay." The young men of Taifeng Town rushed to Xinda Street again, wanting to ask the village chief or the head of the neighborhood to go to Silifang and ask Silifang to go to the Qin family and ask whether the Qin family would accept the rice, flour, meat, vegetables and other supplies sent by the rich masters?
This matter caused quite a stir. Mr. Wen Tao brought merchants such as Jie Qu, Kang Weng, Shan Jia, etc. to ask for a meeting with the Qin family, stating that they wanted to send supplies to the Qin family to prepare a banquet.

They thought it would take some effort to get the Qin family to give in and accept the supplies, but Grandpa Qin soon came out to the sentry post to meet them.

Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "Thank you all for your kindness. I have already asked Qi Tianshi about this matter. Qi Tianshi said that such auspicious occasions are also common in the capital. However, I am the one whose majesty has issued an edict to confer an official title. Celebrating this event involves the majesty's reputation, so he asked my family to register the items sent by each family, so that if there is anything later, it will be easier to look up in the book."

What it means is, don't even think about tampering with the food. If a customer finds something wrong with the food, just check the registration book and find out which restaurant has the problem. That restaurant will be dealt with by the court!
Mr. Wen Tao was startled. The old man had learned how to manipulate people so quickly.

He quickly smiled and said, "Of course. We will go and prepare the supplies and deliver them the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Grandpa Qin clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Wen, and thank you all the merchants."

The news soon spread outside the town by people who made money by running errands.

When the local lords outside the town heard about it, they immediately got in their cars, and hundreds of vehicles rushed out of Baofu County.

Before midnight, they arrived at the sentry post outside the county town… Outside the sentry post, a large camp had been formed. The lords of various mansions along the way had either set up camp here in person, or sent their sons, or sent their stewards to wait for the news.

As soon as the whole camp learned that the Qin family was holding a banquet and accepting supplies, it became lively.

"Hurry, don't sleep any more, go and transport the supplies now. The supplies must be delivered to the Qin family before March 30th!"

"This? Can we get in? For safety reasons, the government has set up sentries to stop us."

"Now that the news has been released, the supplies can naturally be delivered. We just may not be able to attend the banquet. But as long as the supplies are delivered, we will have a reputation in front of the angel, the royal guards, and all the lords, and Master Qin's family. In the future, when we need help, it won't be so abrupt."

"Okay, stop thinking about it, hurry up and send the supplies to Master Qin's family!"

Because of this news, the camp was bustling all night. The next afternoon, the first batch of supplies was delivered to the home of Master Dai in the prefectural city outside Taifeng Town.

Master Dai was willing to spend money, so he successfully moved into the county town. The supplies had been prepared long ago, and as soon as the news reached the county town, he personally led a team to deliver them.

Don’t ask how Mr. Dai, a foreigner, could come to Taifeng Town unimpeded despite the numerous checkpoints set up by the government?
The question is, Dai Jiarenshan's words are quite useful.

These words came from the mouth of the Imperial Guards and were considered as a certification from the imperial court.

What is even more effective than these words is the gold from Master Dai’s family!

"Master Dai of the Dai family in the prefecture city gave Master Qin's family thirty carts of flour, thirty carts of dry firewood, five carts of salt, sugar and oil, one hundred pigs, one hundred sheep, one hundred chickens, and one hundred baskets of eggs to congratulate Master Qin on his appointment as an official!!"

He is truly a wealthy man, extremely rich and generous. More importantly, he has a wide network of contacts and is able to mobilize so many supplies.

The shout resounded through the sky, shocking everyone near the town sentry post.

The soldiers on guard hurriedly sent someone to inform the Qin family.

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were both shocked.

Grandma Qin was even more panicked: "So many? This is just the first family. I heard that many other families outside the county will come to give gifts... Old man, you should quickly ask Qi Tianshi whether to accept these things as a symbol or all of them? You are just a retired fifth-rank military officer who doesn't care about anything. How dare our family accept them all?!"

Nowadays, flour is a high-quality grain, and its price is almost the same as meat. Thirty carts of flour, at least more than 10,000 kilograms, how can we collect it? !
Grandma Qin didn't dare.

Grandpa Qin was also a little puzzled: "I didn't expect that Mr. Dai would be so generous and send so many things."

Qin Xiaomi said, "Grandpa and grandma, why are you so embarrassed? If they dare to give it to us, we will accept it. At most, we will only use a part of it for the buffet, and donate the rest to the Wei army."

As soon as these words came out, Hua Zongqi, who came to report the news, had his eyes shining, and spoke faster than his brain: "Master Qin is so kind, I, Hua, would like to thank the Qin family on behalf of the brothers of the Wei army!"

After saying this, his face turned red... How could this stupid person just say that? Can't he be more reserved? !

"Oh, look at my brain, I'm really old, I didn't even think of this." Grandma Qin patted her head, her worries and fears were swept away, and only the joy that the young soldiers had enough military rations to eat remained: "Old man, what are you still doing, hurry up and collect the supplies!"

"You old woman, you're still pushing us." Grandpa Qin laughed and called Uncle Qin, Jiang Dalang, Qin Ying, and Hua Zongqi to go outside the town to collect supplies.

As soon as he walked out of the street, he met Guan Shuli. He knew about Master Dai's story and was worried that Grandpa Qin would be afraid of such a huge gift, so he came to help.

After learning that the Qin family decided to accept all the supplies and give them to the Wei army, they exclaimed: "Great."

He added: "Let's make this known as soon as possible, so that we can help the Wei army brothers get more supplies."

Uncle Qin laughed: "Then don't waste time, hurry up and tell the wealthy owners to send us supplies."

"Yeah." Guan Shuli smiled, and the group got in a car and headed for the sentry post outside the town.

When Master Dai saw Grandpa Qin, his eyes lit up and he saluted from afar with joy: "Dai Chengshan of the Dai family in Fucheng pays homage to Grandpa Qin and brings gifts to congratulate Grandpa Qin on his appointment as an official!"

Grandpa Qin clasped his fists in return: "Master Dai, you are too polite."

When he got closer, he handed Master Dai an invitation: "The Qin family would like to thank Master Dai for sending gifts to celebrate the wedding. During the three days of the banquet, please choose one day to have a simple meal with Master Dai and his family."
