Chapter 34 Zhongfu
Some people have subconsciously looked at the warehouse where grain storage was stored. When the hundreds of officials were built, there were armour warehouses and granaries. The huge three-room warehouse could store more than 100,000 kilograms of grain. It would be no problem to put hundreds of bags of grain bags of 120 kilograms per bag. Now the warehouse is empty. The original more than 20 stone grain was scattered in the grain storage stockpile, but now it has been distributed and emptied, with only less than 20% left.
This little grain is enough to last for two or three days. If we train the craftsmen who are employed to deliver grain and provide them with the craftsmen, we may find the bottom of the market tomorrow.
Now the atmosphere and everyone's enthusiasm have risen. Suddenly, the food is out of stock, and all previous efforts are wasted. Even if the water is successfully diverted, the salt pond can produce salt, can everyone still boil it until then?
"Fuck Yang Shida." Han Sen cursed with red eyes: "This is to cut off the firewood from the cauldron. If we can't buy the food, we will be cut off."
"I'm afraid there are insiders in our Baihu." Xu Wenhuan gritted his teeth and said, "This time Yuan Jin and Shifa made a detour to Yancheng. They ran around a hundred miles more and asked them to cover them."
Gao Cuncheng said in a deep voice: "It's not just that we can't buy grain. We have to go to Huaian and Shanyang County to sell salt. We either go to Guannan, Dongyang County, or Yancheng County to sell it. As long as Yang Juda stares at us, he can ask him to take care of it wherever he sells it. This time Yuan Jin and Shifa are afraid that they will be seriously injured. Who will go next time, the whole of our 100-household flag soldiers will go, who will plant the land, who will watch the salt pond. It's better to be a thief in one day than to be a thief in one day. We are in the light, they are in the dark..."
Min Yuanqi was very surprised by his reaction, like a god standing in the clouds watching the fun. No matter how chaotic the world is, it seems that it is not his business. In fact, this is a kind of fuse reaction... Other flag soldiers are worried about whether they can get the four liters of grain today, or that their previous hopes are shattered, but their losses are not too great. It is amazing to go back to the previous days. Min Yuanqi invested too much and his hopes are too heavy, which is simply impossible to withstand the blow of shattering.
At this moment, Min Yuanqi's brain also stagnated, and even subconsciously did not think carefully about how serious the consequences were. It seemed that everything had nothing to do with him, and even felt a sense of alienation and indifference... Many ordinary people would have this reaction, and Min Yuanqi was no exception.
"Min family eldest brother." When Min Yuanqi was stunned, the second Ya of the Wang family finally couldn't help but say to him directly: "I heard from the people who ran back that Yang Shida rushed over and beat and arrested people in no way, and snatched the grain trucks of my father and our hundred households. Now my brother has gone to Huai'an Prefecture to report the official. My brother thinks it is useful to report the official, but the little girl feels it is useless to report the official. I am afraid that some officials in the palace will agree to investigate the matter. My father and your hundred households are in danger. Besides, after a long time of delay, both of you and me will have no food. Now the salt cubes have already returned the smell. Not only are they patrolling the Huai River, but there are their people in Guanhe and Lixiahe areas. We can't just be trapped by them?"
The girl in front of her had a calm and calm attitude and clear order when analyzing things, as if someone had moved her in Min Yuanqi's brain, and the flood opened the gate and leaked out, and the originally closed emotions, rationality, judgment, and emotions were all returned to her mind.
Min Yuanqi suddenly felt a sudden ejaculation and trembled all over!
He was from later generations, had the memories of the Ming people, and gradually adapted to the lifestyle of this era, but it was obvious that Min Yuanqi still did not quite understand and understand the way of thinking and style of doing things in this era.
Min Yuanqi did what Yang Shida did and prepared to fight another fight on the Huaihe River in the future. He even prepared to fight the other party. After all, what is the training for four dou of grain every day? It is a confidant force that can be brought up at critical moments!
But they never expected that the other party had no bottom line in their behavior and had a strong revenge mentality. Min Yuanjin and Liang Shifa were ordered to take a detour to buy food, but they were still ambushed by Yang Shida and his gang, which shows that the other party had been planning for a long time.
"It's too much." Min Yuanqi's eyes had obvious murderous intent. He clenched his fists and a sound broke out. After calming down, Min Yuanqi said to the girl in front of him: "Wang Baihu has suffered a disaster. I guess Yang Shida and his group of people have no courage to kill the officials and rebel. However, even so, they cannot be humiliated by this group of salt dogs. This matter has arisen from my 300th household, and I will try to solve it."
"I feel much more relieved with Brother Min's words." Wang Ermei nodded, but didn't even say a word. After bowing for a blessing, she turned around and left.
"Hey, this girl!" Han Sen widened his eyes and watched the Wang girl walk through the crowd, walk west from the path, and soon left the village and head towards the 400th household.
"Wang Baihu is a little gentle, his eldest son is even more silly. I didn't expect that these two daughters are really good."
"The eldest son of the Wang family is a scholar. There are thousands of people in our thousand households. How many scholars are there? You can count it with two slaps. You said he is stupid."
"Scholars understand the truth, but now they still talk about the truth in this day, that's just stupid."
"The imperial court residence is a major event in the world. Scholars will understand it if they don't go out. Can you do this stupid?"
The flag soldiers were surprised by Wang Ermei's pleasure and decisiveness, and they were completely incompatible with her beautiful and delicate appearance, and they couldn't help but exclaim for a moment.
Speaking of which, the girl in the Wang family looks like a delicate girl of 1.6 meters, but she has a height of 5 feet per inch, or 1.7 meters. According to the standards of later generations, she is simply an angel face and a devil figure.
"It looks handsome..." I don't know which flag army continued to sigh and said, "It's just this tall man, who looks like a big mule, is afraid it's hard to marry."
"Take your mother's slut." Han Sen defended his relatives and glared: "The daughter of a hundred households is handsome, and she is still worried about marrying?"
However, Han Sen was not very confident. Nowadays, men are about 1.6 meters tall, and the average height of the military officer family is higher, but Wang Ermei is indeed too tall, so the scope of choosing a partner has been reduced a lot.
Everyone talked a little for a while, then they all woke up and looked at Min Yuanqi in one go.
Min Yuanqi had calmed down, his face was very calm. He hung his sword and said in a deep voice: "Now you don't care about other things now. The salt pond is going to divert water. This matter is related to our plan and cannot be delayed... Let's go."
...
The salt pond by the sea was already crowded with people. Today is a big day. Some old people have come over before dawn in the morning. The white-haired old men and women are wearing ragged clothes and shivering by the cold wind in the morning. But they have come over early. Some old flag soldiers are holding long swords or broken iron spears in their hands, looking at the civilian craftsmen with extremely firm eyes.
The craftsmen of the households looked a little expectant and a little embarrassed. If it goes well today, they will leave and have to find new work. However, if it doesn't work, they are also afraid that they will be dragged out by the angry flag army to vent their anger. The military and civilians fight each other and fight each other twice. The craftsmen of the households are not at a high level, and they are afraid that it will be useless if they fight.
After Chen Hou, the sun shone brightly, and craftsmen, big workers, flag soldiers, women, elderly and children, and hundreds of people in Baihu Village gathered together. When Min Yuanqi and others came over, there was a noise around the Yanchi Lake.
Li De, Zhang Fengshan, Zhang Fengnian, Li Tiansheng, Li Tianyang, Li Tianfu, Shen Yong and others were all sweating profusely. When they saw Min Yuanqi coming, they looked even more nervous.
The only craftsmen hired were two big tiles and clay workers, and the rest were small workers. Because they were afraid of core technology leaks, these foreign big tidal workers were just working in the tiles and kilns, and at most they were working here.
If things fail, these military craftsmen will be dragged down to beat military sticks. The angry flag army will kill several craftsmen. Could it be that the Pacification Department of Huai'an Prefecture City will send people to investigate thoroughly? The local government will not ask about the affairs of the flag army. If they really don't ask about it, they will die in vain if they die.
Although more than 30 flag soldiers were bare-handed, their postures were already on the rise.
After more than ten days of training, everyone's military appearance and momentum have been significantly improved. They are tall and firm, and they are somewhat particular about standing on both arms and legs. Although they used to be thin, they still had accumulated fat on their bodies. Now the fat has disappeared, and the muscles on their arms and chest are becoming more and more bulging, which is obviously much stronger and more capable than ordinary people.
Especially the eyes, because they fight hard every day during training, their fighting skills and will have increased a lot. After all, although they were a flag army before, these people had not fought a fight a year, but now they fight ten or eight times a day. Every time they don’t shed some blood, they feel uncomfortable when they come home with some injuries.
Of course, this training method is brutal and cruel, but Min Yuanqi and the flag army insisted on it, so that the ruthlessness and hidden ferocity of the flag army can be improved in a short period of time. A person can be honest and weak before becoming a soldier, but as a soldier, he must be vicious and dare to kill. Military discipline is military discipline, and viciousness is viciousness. If he is not murderous and not cruel enough, how can he stab the spear tip into a person's abdomen and watch the other party's intestines flow out from the broken abdomen? How can he cut off the head with one knife? The man was still talking a second ago, and his head flew out the next second, leaving only the wriggling flesh and blood and the hollow neck cavity that emerged?
Can you do such a thing if you are not cruel and ruthless?
The ferocity of the flag army in front of us has been initially trained, which is completely different from when encountering Yang Shida and his gang at Guannan Wharf.
It is exactly the saying that a sheep can lead a group of lions into a flock of sheep, and a lion can lead a group of sheep into a brutal and terrifying lion group.
As soon as the flag soldiers arrived, they consciously divided the Yuanyang team into three strands, standing on the north and south and west sides, vaguely surrounding the direction of the salt pond.
A group of craftsmen stood near the water diversion channel. As long as they opened a hole in the outer embankment, the sea water would pour in continuously until the reservoir was filled.
The water from the reservoir is slowly drained into the Kan Pool. The tiles at the bottom of the Kan Pool are laid, which saves the process of using seawater and thatch to add salt to make brine after tide absorption, and also saves the step of frying salt.
