- Li Da originally had this intention, but he was too embarrassed to instruct others. Huo'er brought it up himself. Li Da was overjoyed and rewarded the soldier immediately.
Huo'er said impassionedly: "This is to contribute to the people of our own country. How can I be embarrassed to ask for a reward from you? I'd better save it to buy food."
Everyone worked together, and Li Da was stunned. At the time of Xu Zheng, the food was actually shipped back. This is fifty miles, and it takes half a day to go back and forth on horseback. I really don¡¯t know how they did it.
Li Da ordered to provide disaster relief at the place where the porridge shed was set up.
Regardless of his illness, Li Da had to attend in person. The weather was fine, and the first quarter moon hung in the sky. The soldiers held torches and looked at the grain piled up like a hill. The Li Wenguan knelt in front of the grain and burst into tears. Seeing Li Da arrived, he had already visited him once and got to know him, so he shouted to kneel down and worship the envoy of the Celestial Empire.
¡°More than 1,500 people, men, women, old and young, all came, knelt down and shouted long live the heaven and long live the emperor.
The old sentry commander did not come back, so they went to Anduai to buy grain. Han Liuer reported that there were a total of 1,700 shi of grain, 200 shi of which were left in the mission, and the rest are here.
Hu Chun told Li Da that according to the population, Li Da ordered relief. Regardless of the number of adults or adults, each person could survive for a few months with one stone. When the mission arrives in the capital, they will inform Wang Ting to provide relief.
The soldiers of the mission returned to the camp very late, hungry and tired. Li Da ordered that each sentry be rewarded with a jar of old wine. It was already the second watch when I went to bed. At the third watch, the owl hooted once but lost its sound.
Dolan also had a peaceful sleep. Before going to bed, Nalan seemed to have something to say, but Dolan ignored her and fell asleep by herself.
When I got up at nine o'clock, Yao Bao brought me a piece of paper, which was written in the Western Regions. Li Da didn't know him, so Dolan read it to everyone: From today on, there will be no more night owls. You have worked very hard. I think I was moved by you. People in China are pretty good. However, if my boss fights with you, I will still help the boss. At that time, we will be our own masters.
Everyone looked at each other, is this from the human world or is it weird? Seems quite reasonable. Li Da said to himself: "No one's heart is made of iron."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed and felt much more relaxed and bright.
The old guard was buying 1,700 shi of grain in Mina. He was afraid that the food here would drive up prices, so he quickly sent people to buy grain from the villages on both sides of the official road. He bought another 2,000 shi and sent people to stay behind. Then he personally took the fire Er and others went to An Duhuai and bought nearly 10,000 shi of grain in one go.
?This is bought from three grain stores. The old guard didn't negotiate the price, it all depended on the seller's bid. These families were overjoyed. The old sentry commander had conditions. These companies would provide manpower, carriages and horses, and the buyer would pay the freight. Prepare dry food and water for the soldiers and the handlebars, and they will provide the fodder for their strength. make a deal.
The old sentry commander went to a security bureau again and was willing to pay six hundred taels of silver to escort these grains. He made it very clear that leaving a thousand stones every thirty miles would take a long time. But six hundred taels of silver, less than three hundred miles of land, all official accounts, six hundred taels of silver for nothing, Huo'er signed an agreement with them at that time.
After spending a day in Anduhuai, we set off in the evening. Mantai and the others didn't understand, thinking they were afraid of thieves on the road.
The old sentry commander said: "I have never been here. Who knows if there are bandits. You think, there are bandits in the peaceful and prosperous times. How can we not have such a famine year? In order to fill our stomachs, it is normal to take risks. We With such a big movement, I think the thieves should have gotten the information a long time ago. Dora, tell our people to stay away from the bandits as much as possible and let the people from the escort agency deal with them."
Every time the forward mission went to an inquiry center, they were notified that there was a baggage team behind them, which was for disaster relief supplies. The Maritime Institute of Justice has also come over and cheered.
The old sentry commander and others did not dare to set up tents or cook stoves, so they all had to make do with food and drink. The old sentry commander still had several thousand taels of silver in his hand, and he was very confident. If he said anything, he would not be rewarded. Everyone had money to earn, so naturally they had nothing to say. It can be said.
On this day, several Zaoli from the Narinja Clinic had already come to greet them. It was less than ten miles before they arrived at the Nalin Clinic, which was a long canyon area. A forest of black pine trees. Birds were circling above the pine forest.
The old sentry commander quietly ordered: "Everyone come closer to me. There are thieves in the black pine forest, no less than two hundred of them."
The people in the escort agency were hanging flags and shouting slogans, and they may have noticed the circling birds. We walked down into a depression, and just as we were about to come up, some motley bandits rushed out of the pine forest. They rushed towards the convoy with strange weapons in their hands, about three to four hundred people.
Ten thousand shi of grain is stretched so long that it is difficult to look at it from end to end. There was a burst of firecrackers, and the thieves blocked the way. They were confident. They had been observing for a long time, and seeing that the intelligence in advance was consistent with Hua Tonzi's, they intercepted it boldly.??.
The escort chiefs are not afraid of this. They travel escorts all year round. It would be strange not to encounter such a thing. But after reporting their names, everyone was in peace, and the escort couldn't be too stubborn and pretended to leave something behind as a reward for the thief.
These thieves seemed to know the name of this escort agency and bargained for a long time. The escort agency left one hundred taels of silver.
Mantai told the old sentry commander that their initial request was for one hundred shi of grain. The escort said it righteously: They are from the Chinese dynasty, they use their own money to buy food and provide relief to our people. We escort escorts for free, why are you embarrassed to rob escorts?
"These thieves seemed to have known the details for a long time. They felt very ashamed and prepared to leave without saying anything. It was the head guard who voluntarily offered a hundred taels of silver.
Mantai said: "Old sentry commander, you are truly a general. We all admire you."
The old sentry commander still had the same humble and fawning look in his eyes, and said, "This is the result of His Majesty's great blessings and divine power. What does it have to do with me?"
By this time the mission had arrived at Chechatu. Set up camp in the east of the city.
Hu Chun reminded Li Da that the old sentry commander wanted to buy food immediately when he got here, not too much, just two thousand dan.
Li Da sent someone to buy two thousand shi of grain first. What they were most worried about was the grain transport team behind them. They were attacked in Nalin and lost a cart of food. Three soldiers were killed and seven wounded. When the delegation arrived at Chechatu, there was no official to greet them. Not only the Governor's Mansion, but also no one from the Inquisition Office came to say hello.
Li Da had already sent someone to deliver the rolling orders a few days ago.
On the second day of setting up camp, a messenger came from the Governor's Mansion, saying that the Governor would accompany the king on an expedition to the country of Beza and would return in a few days. The king would also come here to rest his horse. Please wait here for a few days. After saying that, he walked away.
The officers and soldiers were a little aggrieved, and Wang Daju complained when he was next to Li Da: Damn it, tens of thousands of taels of silver were donated, and all the emotions were lost.
Li Da stopped and said, "You are wrong in thinking this way. First, what we look at is not the government, but the victims; second, we are not trying to buy someone well, and our country does not need to buy someone well. Don't worry, they will Come to us."
