Chapter 310: Advanced civilization always attracts people
Chapter 310 Advanced civilization is always attractive
For five thousand soldiers to eat a meal, it would cost several cartloads of food.
Temporary emergency response is ok, but if the amount exceeds two days, so many of them may not be able to hold on to Ba Ye.
You Huaijie pondered for a while, and said to the angry Lu Ye: "The grain cart will arrive in about half a month, but our grain is barely enough for everyone to stick to Baye, so we can only divide the amount of your meal equally first. , the rest, wait for me to think of a way first."
When they set off, the court was still preparing food and forage, and it was estimated that they would arrive after half a month at most.
Lu Ye finally looked directly at You Huaijie, and he bowed his hands excitedly, "Thank you sir!"
Now it is rare for the soldiers to have a full meal first.
The soldiers were informed that they could have a full meal tonight, and immediately went to carry the food actively.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao couldn't help but turn dark after hearing You Huaijie's report.
These are the soldiers who worked hard to expand the territory of Ling Kingdom, and some people even dared to give the soldiers and soldiers to eat with moldy rice.
Moldy rice is eaten, but it will eat dead people.
When they set off, there was not a little bit of wind, and they must have been covered tightly.
You Huaijie was appointed by the eldest prince, so they naturally felt relieved that You Huaijie did not dare to report the matter to Emperor Ling Hui.
And the soldiers of the side generals could only swallow the bitter fruit alive.
After all, the emperor is far away, so as long as Emperor Ling Hui does not summon Marshal Gu for a day, they can continue to seize the food and forage recklessly.
Even if Marshal Gu returned to the DPRK, he would not be able to bring back all the moldy rice. There was no real evidence, and he was wronged for biting him to death.
But now, the most important thing is to solve the problem of feeding the soldiers.
really made people anxious, and the soldiers all went to find food, then how can the southern border that has been conquered be able to hold.
Moreover, even if Bai Wutong and the others go to the southern border to open up wasteland and cultivate land, it will take several months at the earliest to have food to eat.
For their own sake, they have to research where to find food.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao analyzed, "Baye is rich in products, and the local people must have their own unique staple food, or we can go to Sheng Huaixuan and ask if we can urgently send some food and seeds. "
Youjia Village's high-yielding seeds were only enough for their own use, but the other people in the team, as well as the exiled prisoners, obviously did not bring enough seeds.
Marshal Gu's remaining 80,000 elite soldiers could not have been waiting for food from the court.
If the court did not give it, wouldn't all these people starve to death.
If there are no seeds, it is another huge challenge to have a smooth winter this year.
Everyone set up camp, Sheng Huaixuan came over with Smelly and saw that Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao had important things to look for him.
Sheng Huaixuan handed the smell to Lin Yue and asked him and Qingfeng to play around with the smell.
Bai Wutong asked straight to the point: "Brother Sheng, there is not enough food now, how long will it take to send someone to deliver the food?"
Sheng Huaixuan had already guessed what question Bai Wutong was going to ask, and replied, "If our team eats it, the stores in the north and south stores will probably supply it for two days."
The white phoenix tree can be eaten for two days, which is enough for the current five thousand soldiers to eat for more than a week.
Bai Wutong asked: "Is there a quickest way to raise food?"
Sheng Huai preached: "The fastest way to raise food is to buy fried rice from the Syrians."
Bai Wutong wondered, "What is fried rice?"
Sheng Huaixuan explained: "Fried rice is a local staple food where millet is cooked and then the shell is peeled off. However, the main staple food of Syrians is milk and meat, so even if there is fried rice, there is not too much food in stock. ."
"However, you can buy it first for emergencies, and then wait for the food from the Central Plains to arrive, or go to the southern Xinjiang to find other food."
"Bayecheng is right next to the forest. Even if the locals don't plant them, they can still have enough food for the winter. As long as they communicate with the locals patiently, they will definitely be able to exchange some food for a while. At that time, we can also be like the locals. Mountain to find local food."
Marshal Gu couldn’t send people to find enough local food. It is very likely that the locals rejected them, refused to tell them where to find food, and refused to sell their food to them.
But, perhaps the most important point is that Marshal Gu can't come up with something that can be exchanged with the locals.
But Sheng Huaixuan's caravan had dealt with the locals long before the war, and had done many transactions in exchange for precious medicinal materials such as deer antler and tiger skin pearls in the hands of the locals.
As long as you poke the hearts of the locals and exchange things they don’t have but really want, the survival of the tens of thousands of immigrants will definitely not be difficult.
What's more, among these tens of thousands of immigrants, there are many people with their own skills, and advanced civilization can always attract people's longing.
Bai Wutong was full of praise for Sheng Huaixuan's idea, "Then let's buy some fried rice first. If it's not enough, just buy some cattle and sheep."
Sheng Huaixuan nodded, "Okay, after a while, the food and military salaries from the imperial court will also arrive."
He didn't know about the moldy rice, Bai Wutong whispered to him just in case, "The grain and grass that the imperial court brought to the soldiers in the southern border was moldy rice, I'm worried that this time, they will bring moldy rice again, you Find some grain to buy some rice first, and Lord You will send someone to investigate first, whether the court has shipped moldy rice again this time, and if it is revealed on the road, the time for the grain to arrive here will be delayed for a long time."
The moldy rice was washed and looked no different from new rice. Marshal Gu and the others had eaten it too, and many soldiers discovered it after a series of diarrhea.
Sheng Huaixuan suddenly remembered something, and suddenly realized, "No wonder, half a year ago, the grain seller came to me and said that there was a batch of rice grain to be sold urgently. It must be the military ration that was detained."
Chu Tianbao's eyes were cold and cold, "Can you buy it now?"
Bai Wutong said: "What to buy, if it is military rations, then it will be easy to handle. As long as the rumors that the mildew will be exposed, he will obediently hand over all the military rations and even subsidize us."
Sheng Huaixuan's eyes lit up, "Madam is wonderful. If they want to escape without being punished, they will lie about the rations they don't know where they came from. Then they heard that the soldiers were short of food and offered them to save their lives."
Bai Wutong smiled and said, "That's right, that's it."
Sheng Huaixuan immediately said again: "I will order it now."
Bai Wutong nodded, "Okay."
Sheng Huaixuan took two steps and suddenly stopped. He looked back at Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong, and then at You Huaijie, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
How does he feel that the Governor-General, You Huaijie, is under orders from Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao.
Suddenly, he remembered Bai Wutong's superb disguise technique, and suddenly realized.
You Huaijie has changed so much before and after, I am afraid that it has been replaced by people unconsciously.
Sheng Huaixuan evoked a smile again. If this is the case, Nanjiang will definitely become the most desirable city in the future.
