Chapter 53: Transporting Grain (Repair)

In Shaonan City, even if it is a real emperor, it may not be more useful than the Cheng family's banner.

The so-called county officials are worse than to be in charge. The Cheng family fully controls all aspects of Shaonan City. From farmland to lawsuits, the Cheng family is everywhere. Just like other aristocratic families, hundreds of years of operation have allowed them to mark every inch of land with the word "Cheng".

Because there are members of the Cheng family everywhere, there are many things to pay attention to under the banner of the Cheng family in Shaonan. For example, only the Cheng family members of the Cheng family from the fourth branch of Qingyue Yuanlong can ask. If it is stricter, it is best not to say this in public easily, so as not to be laughed at by others.

Hongri Village is the most important outer village of the Cheng family. The manager who is guarding the village naturally has to be surnamed Cheng. Here he replied obediently: "My name is Cheng Cha, and he is a person with the four condors of the original character."

The five constellations that the Daxia Dynasty paid attention to were similar to those in ancient China, namely, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandfather (hereinafter referred to as son, grandson, great-grandson, great-grandson) as the link. If the relationship between the two is separated when they are great-grandfather, it will be the four constellations, which is already a very distant relationship.

As for Keiyo Hara Takashi, the four sermons that were divided from the generation that founded the Cheng family. Their inheritance for hundreds of years is limited.

"I am the three-person and three-son son of Qingzhi." Compared to this, Cheng Jinzhou's identity was simply prominent. He raised his head and shouted: "Do you know me?"

"I know the third brother of Qingzhi." Cheng Cha was half relieved, and walked out uneasy again, tried his best to look into the air, and said, "What happened in the city?"

"Recognize your identity and we will go down and talk." Cheng Jinzhou said and looked at Wang Linghe, worried that he would not want to. No matter how strong the astral warlock is, he will still be a physical body. Unless there is a defensive star array, he will still be killed with one arrow.

Cheng Cha thought about it and signaled the crossbowman to put away the arrows. As for the army, there was no objection. There was no officer present to command. Provoking a star warrior would be like seeking death. For a flying star warrior, weapons can be at best a threat, and it is really a big fuss. Who is confident that he can shoot a star warrior who moves at will in the sky, let alone that they can resist and may also have defensive equipment.

Wang Linghe didn't seem to be worried. He threw Cheng Jinzhou down and followed behind his back. Lu Xu was still walking in front of him stupidly, but a little light appeared on his left arm, which must be a protective star array.

Cheng Cha did not know Cheng Jinzhou, but there were always people in the huge Zhuangzi who knew the famous legitimate son. In addition, the two astrology warlocks fell down, and his tense spirit finally relaxed a little.

As for the small school in the army, it was even more unbearable. Seeing that the astral warlocks were all within the range of the crossbow, their waists were straightened instantly, as if they were not the lowest-level lieutenant, but had been promoted to general.

"San brother." The second manager bowed to Cheng Jin according to the rules, and asked again: "It was too heavy a few days ago. We haven't contacted the city for two or three days. I wonder if you are here."

"The grain was not transported in at all?" Cheng Jinzhou's voice was calm, but he was a little questioning tone.

Cheng Cha's eyelids twitched and said, "Often the rice shop comes to buy grain. In the past few days..."

His voice was getting lower and lower. No one was stupid. During the New Year Festival in Shaonan City, four gates were closed, and astrology warlocks came to ask questions. After thinking about it, he knew it clearly. The citizens in the city were not as good as those in the countryside. Many people bought rice and grain every day. Although they would buy more during the New Year Festival, they had no food when the market opened, and people's hearts were fluctuating.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Today we must transport grain into the city..."

Cheng Cha suddenly interrupted him with courage and said, "The road is broken..."

"There are dozens of miles in total, and even if you carry the load, you have to carry it for me." Cheng Jinzhou said arrogantly, and he didn't have much confidence.

The second manager did not dare to argue with Cheng Jinzhou, and looked around and said, "Do you have a wife's warrant? Several young masters can do it too."

Cheng Jinzhou glared at his eyes and said, "I will give you a handwritten when I get to the city."

"This won't work." Cheng Cha's eyes turned red in an anxious manner, and he said, "Food is a death order. I'll give it to you and I will have to commit suicide tomorrow."

Cheng Jinzhou grabbed his neck, pulled it to himself, and said viciously in his ear: "Don't think I don't know the dirty things you did. I have bought a lot of stolen public grains. Today, things are urgent and I don't have time to argue with you. If you give me food, I will definitely protect you afterwards. If you don't give me it, don't say that you are the life of a dog. The whole family is waiting to throw away the body."

The second manager swallowed hard, rolled his eyes to the left and right twice, and said with a sad face: "Master, Zhuang Ding here has gone home. The mountain is covered with heavy snow. Where can I find someone for you? And, and..."

"And what?" Two astrology warlocks were present. Cheng Jinzhou was not worried about not being able to get the food, but the other party's attitude made him feel at ease.

Not far away, several small managers looked here worriedly. Cheng Cha glanced at them, as if he was catching a straw, and hissed: "It's these little beasts, these little beasts."

"The voice is lighter." Cheng Jinzhou narrowed his eyes into a slit and said, "Tell me something."

"That..." Cheng Cha knelt on the cold snow with a plop, and hesitated: "The food may not be enough."

"Damn it." Cheng Jinzhou cursed happily, and wanted to slap the thin face in front of him. He forced himself to say, "What's going on? How many more?"

"It looks like a maximum of 5,000 stones."

5,000 stones, or 25,000 kilograms, were sent to the grain shop in the city, and I’m afraid I couldn’t hold on for a whole morning.

The insufficient food was naturally sold out, and there might be a share of Cheng Jinzhou. The closer it is to the New Year holiday, the more the grain prices rise. It is natural for these stewards to be. It is no wonder that Shi Yan always lacks some when he goes to buy food.

Although there is little food, it is still possible to save lives. Moreover, with the current transportation conditions, no matter how much food is, it cannot be transported out. Cheng Jinzhou simply waved his hand and said, "If you can transport it into the city, I will take care of your business and let it go."

"It would take more than a thousand people to get into the city. Now the horse can't run." Cheng Cha is the front-line manager and has a chance to save his life. He said quickly: "The mule must die on the road, and it's better for the people, but in this case, it's very difficult for a person to carry the burden alone."

"Then let's have more people. Mobilize the garrison." Cheng Jinzhou said as he said to the officer: "How many people do you have?"

"There are 800 people in Hongri Village." The school calmed down at this moment and said, "You don't have a warrant, and you can't even transfer a single person."

His tone was much more firmer than Cheng Cha.

If he is an adult, as Cheng Jinzhou, the officer may not have to consider it. But since he is a child, he will never violate the order of the top peak and send soldiers without authorization. Otherwise, the best result will be to offset the merits and demerits. The court has strict control over the army.

Although the primary school is afraid of death, its mind is very clear.

If you deal with him, you can't be like dealing with the second manager. Cheng Jinzhou stared at him for a moment, then turned to Cheng Cha: "Now you go find out all the people under your command. Leave the problem of Zhuangzi's defense to the garrison. How far is Yicang from here?"

"There are 10,000 people in the area within 10 miles." Cheng Cha said it was quite skillful. According to the current situation, if there are 10,000 people in the company, it is considered that the discipline is good if there are 3,000 people left.

The Yi Cang is called Yi Cang, but it belongs to the grain reserves of the Central Committee of the Great Xia. Even Cheng Yunan is not qualified to open a warehouse. When he heard Cheng Jinzhou ask, the small school's eyes became worse and worse. The influence of the Cheng family was enough to cover the garrison, but it was not enough to make them serve until death. Opening a Yi Cang is an absolute death penalty.

"Send someone to find my cousin." Cheng Jinzhou said, tightening the clothes wrapped around him, and said, "How long will your people go?"

Seeing that he was coming, Cheng Cha immediately became nervous, looked around and said with a bitter look: "San brother, the weather outside can really freeze your toes. There is so much food, and you have to load up your burden. In addition, it is still the New Year, and there is no such thing as attracting men at this time..."

"Only clothes are really a problem to be solved..." Cheng Jinzhou pondered for a moment, looked at the school and narrowed his eyes and said, "Since the garrison is unwilling to go out, then let go of the cotton coat and shoes."

In this era when the army is incomplete with equipment, it is not realistic to require the merchants to prepare themselves.

The school itself was extremely afraid of death, but he had a trick to argue and immediately opposed it: "It's cold and cold, and it's going to kill people without cotton coats and shoes."

"I will die if I die." Cheng Jinzhou hummed, and his eyes showed badness.

If you don’t help me when you die, you will deceive your superiors and hide your subordinates, you will be selfish and unruly, and you will not abide by the rules. This is a complete school with a big size.
