First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 28

　　 Jia Lu was thrown to the doctor. This man can save Zhang Ximeng. If he wants to, he also hopes to save Jia Lu, at least let this old guy live a few more years.

　　 Some people may wonder, what good can a half-dead old man do?

　　 Really count on the unification of the world, let him come to treat the Yellow River again?

　　 Jialu is more than fifty, even if he can live to seventy, will he still have the strength to explore the river and make a plan for repairing the river? Besides, the Yellow River floods and bursts its dykes every year, and the river course has changed a lot. After a few years, it will definitely be different from the current situation. It is impossible to control the river with a boat and a sword.

　　 So when it comes to governing the river in the future, it's just a mindset and a beautiful vision.

　　 At the moment, Jia Lu's greatest value is his experience as an official in the Yuan Dynasty... This man has climbed from the bottom to the Zhongshu Zuo Cheng, with a complete experience from the place to the center, he has governed the water and led the soldiers.

　　 Now if you want to start a business from scratch, there is such a person, who is probably the old white beard in the ring, who is the kind who has the protagonist's halo when it is turned on.

　　 Zhang Ximeng is just an ordinary college student in later generations, and he doesn't really understand how a system works healthily.

　　 groping on his own, I don't know how much time and energy it takes.

　　With Jialu, I will definitely be able to avoid many detours.

　　 Of course, the premise is that the old things can survive.

"Chongba, I'm watching Mrs. Jia. Also, there are too few houses in Linhuai Town, and they may not be enough. Find a proper location and build a barracks. For the time being, you will use tents, but you have to seize them. Bring all the things you have.” Ma told Zhu Chongba, saying that the male lead outside and the female lead inside.

　　 As Lao Zhu's wise helper, Ma is not only responsible for the bottles and cans at home, but also for military affairs.

　　 Clothes and armor, the families of the wounded, and even the families and lodgings, there are so many people who have to deal with Ma.

　　 Fortunately, during the defense of the city, Ma led the old and weak women and children in the city, demolishing houses, digging trenches, and accumulated a wealth of experience. At this moment, he commanded, calmly and without any panic.

　　 She absorbed the failure experience of defending the city at that time, and first built a trench on the outermost side to prevent enemy attacks. Then repair the second trench, between the two trenches, to house horses and livestock.

　　 Then there is the third trench. Here and in the open area of ​​the second trench, some temporary camps have been built to accommodate civilians and prisoners. The innermost is a regular military camp and a warehouse for storing grain.

　　 Since the city wall cannot be built in a short time, the trenches must be dug deeper and wider, and a sheep and horse wall must be built in each trench to strengthen defenses.

　　 Ma's orderly arrangements, Zhu Chongba was also relieved, he immediately ordered Tang He and Fei Ju to lead their troops to grab the supplies.

　　 Zhu Chongba also personally led a team of people to respond, and he went to deal with things when he encountered problems.

　　 Everyone is busy, but Zhang Ximeng is the only one left.

　　 He can't be idle anymore, Zhang Ximeng needs to register all the personnel and materials, register them, and analyze them one by one.

　　 To put it bluntly, as many things they can grab now, their entrepreneurial capital will be as thick as they are, but they can't be sloppy.

When Zhang Ximeng came, he rolled up a lot of rice paper, cut it in a hurry, then punched it, threaded it with hemp rope, and wrote items such as grain, cloth, livestock, carts and horses, and weapons, and piled them neatly at the entrance of the village. .

　　 just waiting for the big guy to return with a full load.

　　 As soon as Zhang Ximeng finished his work, the first batch of things arrived. It was nothing but the most precious food.

　　 There are a total of two hundred carriages, each carrying twenty hemp bags, which is almost twenty shi of grain, which is four thousand shi.

　　 From a long distance away, you can see the coachman's packhorse, his body is vain, and the big guys are desperate for their lives.

　　Tanghe commanded two hundred cavalry to protect the food carts, and there were some sacks on the backs of these horses. A little cavalry was really reluctant to be a beloved horse, so he could only get down and ran on two legs, tired and sweating all over.

　　 "Master Tang, can we have white noodle buns this time?"

　　 Soup and laughed and scolded: "The rice bucket! Look at your promise. When the food is shipped back, I will give you big buns and minced meat!"

　　 "Then dare to love it!"

　　 The soldier enthusiastically agreed, screaming, and rushed to Linhuai Town.

　　 Zhang Ximeng hurriedly waved his pen to record, instructing the staff to help unload the truck, and deliver the grain in bags one by one.

　　 Yuka followed with his voice, and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve.

　　 "Mr., you can hurry up, now Zhao Junyong, Sun Deya, and our Marshal Guo are all sending people to **** them, and they will fall into their hands a little later."

Zhang Ximeng nodded, and he also said fiercely: "Today is all night, everyone is moving. Tang Qianhu, nothing is as precious as food, we must take it back. This is our lifeblood. Haozhou is besieged, if not Break the siege in time, and the city will starve to death."

　　 Tanghe nodded vigorously, "I see."

　　 He can't take a break either, the groomsmen are still empty stomachs, so they have to turn around and run again.

　　 At this moment, Tang He suddenly smelled a scent, and the saliva in his mouth suddenly became rich. This was even more true for the soldiers and the coachmen, all of them slobbering.

　　 I saw Ma leading a lot of people, carrying five or six bamboo baskets, and they were full of steaming steamed buns with big fists.

　　 "When they arrive in Linhuai, I will let them steam the steamed buns with noodles... The big guy will be hungry first, and then let the big guy be rewarded with a heavy eight. Good wine and good meat will not treat the big guy badly."

　　 Ma said, grabbing two big steamed buns and giving them to a coachman. Without raising his head, he gave the next one.

　　 received the hot steamed buns, the driver's eye circles were slightly red, and his hands trembled. He took a deep breath and the aroma was savory. Hurry up and open your mouth, bite down the smaller half, soft and sweet, there is nothing so delicious.

Madam 　　 treats the big guy, that is really not said!

　　 The coachman took three bites and ate a steamed bun, and he immediately regained his enthusiasm for a hundred and twenty minutes. He shook the whip vigorously and made a beautiful whip!

　　 "Drive!"

　　 People are sentimental, a steamed bun at this time is worth a tael or two.

　　Ma Shi arrived in Linhuai, she hadn't eaten anything, she was busy all the time, but she still had time to let the people below steam buns, and send them to the busy soldiers first, so that the big guy could eat a warm bite.

　　 There are not many things, it's heartwarming!

　　 Everyone is working harder.

　　 Only those who have experienced hunger know how precious food is.

　　 In the years of famine, a girl can get ten catties of noodles. One ingot of gold may not be worth one stone of grain... So the big guy desperately tried his best to load up the carriage.

Some packhorses walked halfway and couldn't hold them. The big guys couldn't bear to give up, so they transported the food to other carriages, but the other carriages were also full, so they could only be placed on the horse's back. Carried by the coachman himself.

　　 "When you die, be a ghost!"

　　 Everyone tried it, but the big guy couldn't stand it the second time I came back.

　　 The military camps outside Linhuai Town and Haozhou City are less than twenty miles away, and two are eighty miles away. Just running is enough, let alone delivering food.

　　 If this continues, people will be exhausted.

　　 It's just a long way from the target.

　　 What should I do?

　　 Tanghe is also an idea, he makes it too tired to bear, first stay to rest.

　　 Then he brought some people back to the front again, and immediately ordered to mobilize all the prisoners, one person carrying a bag of food, two people carrying a bag.

　　 There are also those seized carriages, and the captured war horses, all loaded with grain. Like a long dragon, heading towards Linhuai... Until noon the next day, Zhang Ximeng received almost 20,000 shi of grain.

　　 Even if there are many big-bellied men in the army~www.mtlnovel.com~, one person eats five stone grains a year, it is enough for four thousand people to eat for one year.

　　 Although it is not too much, it is also quite precious at this time of general food shortage.

　　With food, there must be talents.

　　 This is also the most important thing. Lao Zhu left Guo Zixing and went it alone, but if no one followed him, it would be a complete joke.

　　 Fortunately, Lao Zhu is not alone.

　　 First of all, Tang and his men followed.

　　 Originally, Tang He commanded a thousand households, but actually had fewer than 800 people. In the battle of defending the city, he lost more than 300 men, but he added some more, and there are still 600 people.

Zhu Chongba was assigned to guard the West City. Although Guo Zixing did not promote him to official position, he still gave him three hundred elite soldiers. In addition, people such as Xu Qianhu died in the battle, and his soldiers and horses were also returned to Lao Zhu. People, there are folk husbands compiled by Zhang Ximeng. All in all, Zhu Chongba's direct line is almost two thousand people.

In addition, there were some of Guo Zixing's subordinates who had been carried over by Lao Zhu, and the number of them exceeded 3,000... and then there were prisoners. Although Zhu Chongba did not go all out to arrest, more than 100,000 people fell apart and the gift package was too big. , It's not a small amount to just close it up.

　　 There were about six to seven thousand prisoners who were escorted to Linhuai Town.

　　 Ten thousand people came to this almost lonely town, and suddenly there was a lively voice.

　　 In addition, Fei Ju also sent a thousand tents, more than 20,000 weapons, and a total of 3,500 horses and packhorses. As for other properties, flags, gongs and drums, gold and silver, treasures... countless.

　　 Zhang Ximeng desperately registered, his hands trembled into chicken paws, but his heart was full of joy, forgetting fatigue, forgetting everything, just hope to gain a little more, a little more! The thicker the account book, the better!
