Chapter 498 Four thousand carts of grain

"Hey, the efficiency of this work is really fast. In just half a day, the food and grass that need to be transported by thousands of people have been collected?"

Yingzheng's glasses lit up, not to mention that he didn't remember it, but once he said it, it seemed that such a thing really happened.

He is indeed fond of Qin Yong, but because of his fancy, Qin Yong is actually one of his main surveillance objects.

Of course, whether it's surveillance or protection, Qin Yong's every move is indeed hard to escape his spectacles.

This morning, he already knew about Qin Yong sending Wuhuan out to buy grain and grass.

However, even he didn't expect that Wuhuan was able to collect the grain and grass that needed to be transported by a thousand people in just half a day.

How much can a caravan of thousands of people transport grain and grass?

Thousands of people transport grain and grass, at least there are thousands of cars, or even more.

After all, this is delivering goods next to Xianyang. It's not like marching to fight a war, escorting food and grass, etc., and deliberately sending people to protect it.

Calculated by a thousand carts, a cart is at least a thousand catties, a thousand carts a million catties, and thirty thousand shi, which is equivalent to a march of ten thousand people, and almost half a month's food and grass.

With this efficiency, it is much faster than the government!

"My lord, this is just Qin Yong's wishful thinking. After all, whether it is really related to Wuhuan, Qin Yong is not sure!"

Seeing the excited look on Ying Zheng's face, Qin Yong couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"Whether it's related or not, you can tell at a glance!"

"Meng Tian listened to the order, passed it on to Meng Yi, and immediately led three thousand Qingqi to investigate!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, not worried about it, and with an order, the matter has been resolved.

"promise!"

Meng Tian bowed his hands and agreed, and couldn't help but look up at Qin Yong.

Dare to collect so much food and grass in Xianyang City, and still be so unscrupulous, this one can be regarded as No.1.

You must know that in this era, Qin has strict control over weapons and cavalry, but it has never relaxed its control over food and grass.

Not only Qin, other countries, even the major feudal dynasties in later generations are like this.

After all, if you have collected a lot of food and grass, it will be a great weapon for rebellion.

Why do all dynasties and countries always use businessmen as their swords?Not only because the merchants are fat, the bigger reason is that many merchants have too many resources in their hands.

Soon, Meng Tian continued to lead the team, while Meng Yi led three thousand Qingqi, and went straight to the front as fast as the wind.

With Meng Yi clearing the roadblocks ahead, the team behind continued to move forward without any hesitation.

After walking for about an hour, the mighty team finally caught up with the caravan ahead.

At this moment, the caravan did not move forward, and under Meng Tian's cleaning up, twenty people came to the side of the road one after another to get out of the way.

From a distance, Ying Zheng opened the door curtain of the carriage, and saw the convoy standing on both sides in front of him.

A familiar figure caught Ying Zheng's attention, and it turned out to be Wuhuan.

"Hahaha, my dear brother, it seems that your guess is right, it really is Wuhuan. This man is really capable in his work. Look at this caravan, I really underestimated his ability. How can this be a thousand carts of food and grass? It is said that there are three to four thousand carts of grain and grass!"

Seeing Wuhuan, Ying Zheng looked intently at the caravan again. In the long caravans on both sides, each person must control at least three carriages to move forward.The amount of food and grass delivered was simply too much beyond his budget.

Qin Yong couldn't help smacking his tongue secretly, although in his opinion, money can turn ghosts around, as long as there is money, everything can be done easily.

But no matter how rich you are, you must have enough resources to succeed.

This Xianyang city is indeed a big city in this era, but in later generations, the scale will be small.

The key is in this era, food and grass itself is a scarce thing, how much food can be purchased in Xianyang City?
In Qin Yong's mind, if he can maintain a flow of [-] to [-] tons at any time, it is considered as top-notch.

This number may sound unimaginable, is there really so few?But that's what counts.

Let’s not talk about too much, let’s just talk about raising soldiers. This year, the rations of 150 troops are about [-] million shi.

Converted into tons, that is more than 2 tons, less than [-] tons.

But it is the [-] to [-] tons of food and grass for raising soldiers, which many countries cannot provide.

For example, in this era, the country that can provide so much food to support soldiers has long ruled the roost, which is known as the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

But even the seven major countries in the world can afford the food to support their soldiers, but some of them can't even afford the food to fight.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Many times, the defeat is often because of the hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass, and sometimes it is even less than a hundred thousand stones of food and grass.

Mobilizing the power of a country, sometimes even 1000 shi of grain and grass, or almost more than [-] tons of grain, cannot be gathered, so that it is defeated and lost. One can imagine how scarce this grain is.

However, in this case, Xianyang City collected three or four thousand carts of grain within half a day, and it was pure grain, which was more than two thousand tons. This is not ordinary.

"Brother Wang has won the prize. It's not because of his ability. It's obviously because of the prosperity of our country, Great Qin!"

Qin Yong made a rough calculation in his heart. Although he was shocked, he still hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile.

It's not a lie, let alone a compliment.If it weren't for Qin Xianyang's national power and strength, no matter how much money he had, he wouldn't be able to exchange so much food.

"Okay, well said, apart from my Great Qin, which country in this world can collect so much food and grass in one city in less than a day. Even if it is as rich as the Seven Kingdoms, and the land is as vast as the Chu Kingdom!"

Ying Zheng laughed again, and Qin Yong's words seemed to speak to his heart.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng got an idea, got up and got out of the car, and said, "My dear brother, let's go and have a look!"

Qin Yong was taken aback, isn't he still in a hurry to get to Mount Li before dark?Time is already tight, why delay?

"promise!"

But Ying Zheng had already spoken, so he could only promise.

Ying Zheng stepped on the ground with the soles of his feet, and the snow on the ground creaked as he stepped on it.

The king of Qin got out of the car, so the convoy had to stop naturally.

Along the way, this was the second time the team had stopped, and the people behind couldn't help being stunned.

"What's going on, what happened again?"

"Who knows?"

Behind the group of ministers, generals, and clan princes whispered to each other with puzzled expressions on their faces.

They also saw the convoys lined up on both sides in front of them. Although such a large convoy is rarely seen on weekdays, everyone is well-informed, so it is not surprising at all.

At this moment, Zhao Gao came by the king's order, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has an order, courtiers, generals, clan princes, go and get together!"

This sudden edict made everyone even more puzzled, but they tidied up one by one, and lined up to go forward.

After walking a few steps, he found that Ying Zheng was holding Xuanwen Jun Qinyong's hand and striding towards the caravan ahead.
