Chapter 81: Phosin
"King, I'm waiting for the food! I'm waiting for the food..." Seeing Xiong Jing standing at the gap, some excited soldiers actually rushed over to report the good news with Tao Hu in his arms. The sanitation hurriedly stopped them, but Xiong Jing walked through the sanitation and walked towards them who were extremely excited.
"King, this is the new grain of the Qin people." Since the commander of the soldier was an officer, he naturally knew that Tao was used to store new grain.
After harvesting, crops have a post-ripening behavior, which needs to be completed through respiration. Just like there are stomata on the side of the pottery in a small Hakka enclosure, the stomata can adjust the temperature and humidity inside the pottery. After completion, new grain will be poured into the square warehouse. The square warehouse is the houses east of the pottery. The square warehouse stored in the Chu State for a long time is generally 10,000 stones per store, or 20,000 stones per store, and the largest square warehouse in the Qin State has 10,000 stones per store.
"How much grain is stored here?" Xiong Jing looked at the granary on the hillside again, wanting to know how much corn there is in total.
"I don't know." The monk said. The granary was everywhere in the south of Aoshan. Except for the Qin people, no one could tell how much grain Aochang had for a moment. The only word that can be accurately described is probably the millet like the sea.
"Great, the king is brave!" Xiong Jing hurriedly walked forward. When he left, the head of the pawn couldn't help but shout again. It seemed that the trick that Peng Zong played had been spreading in the stroke.
"How much grain is stored in Ao Cang?" Ao Cang had a slutty man and an official. The Chu army attacked from the grain transport canal and occupied the Mizu Office in the protective wall. None of the officials inside fled, as if waiting for Xiang Yan's acceptance.
"Report to the general, Ao Cang has 49.76 million stones of millet, 7.39 million stones of beans, 6.17 million stones of wheat, and 2 million stones of millet. There are 4.3 million stones of sauce, 830,000 stones of vinegar, 300,000 stones of wine, and more than 5 million bunches of rice..." Qin officials all knelt on the ground and bent. The numbers they reported were more than the numbers given by Zhibi. But when they thought that the new millet had just been collected, the three million households in Qin produced 500,000 stones of millet a year, and the grain here was just accumulated by Qin.
After three years of farming, the remaining food for one year, the number of animals for three years was born, the number of animals for eighteen years was accumulated, and the number of animals for twenty-seven years was stored. Farming and fighting were the national policy of Qin. I don’t know whether Qin would have reserved for nine years, but there must be a three-year animal. Thinking of the nine Ao Cangs of Qin, the excited generals were somewhat discouraged.
"I will transport all the food and fodder here." Xiang Yan's eyes were a little red. He didn't care how much food Qin had. He only knew that the food here was enough for Chu to eat for a whole year. "As for you, I would like to go to Chu State with me. If you don't want to transport the food, which country you want to go to after transporting the food."
When Xiang Yan said he wanted to transport the food and fodder here, the Qin officials were trembling all over. A leader cried and said, "General must not transport food, must not transport food! Our family is in Qin. If we transport food, we will all die."
There was a sob. Qin State Warehouse had a system of single burden (single compensation) and shared (all officials compensated together), so these Qin officials did not dare to run away, and they dared to set fire to the warehouse. When Chu State attacked, they thought they were just eating and slaughter, and soon the Qin army would counterattack Ao Cang and drove them away. Now the Chu army has transported all the food and fodder away, how could they afford to taste so much food and fodder together?
"Look at them. From now on, there will be someone guarding every Fangcang." Xiang Yan snorted and shook her sleeves and left.
According to the plan of the Operations Department, the Chu army that had just captured Ao Cang performed their duties. The most important thing was defense to prevent the Qin army from counterattacking. At the beginning of landing, there were divisions going south, west, and east to seize important land. Aoshan was twenty or thirty miles long from east to west. Although there was a grain transport canal as a pond, each division still hammered iron piles in the south of the grain transport canal and pulled up a wire mesh that was stacked and more than one meter high.
Beyond defense is transportation. The people in the building of the house were installing cranes at the grain transport port, while the people in the concrete house began to pour new concrete docks for more boats to dock. There was no idle in Putianze either. Fengrenji personally directed the craftsmen to dig deep into the foundations at high places in the ze. Although the construction was only a tram-style building, and the foundation was just a few pillars, he had to pour the dock and the first floor within five days to release the transferred corn.
The boats on the gate were mobilized long ago. According to the calculations of the Transportation Department, the transportation department carried out twice day and night between Ao Cang and Pu Tianze, and the corn that can be transported daily will not be 1.8 million stones. If you rely solely on the boats of Chu, you will not be able to transport Ao Cang’s grain for a month. It is not a problem to guard for one month or two months. I am afraid that the river water and canal water will freeze after October, so the transportation of grain will be delayed until next spring. This will be too long. Therefore, the transportation department’s suggestion is to hire the boats of Qi and Zhao to transport grain for Ao Cang within one month.
The news station of Qi State Chu State recently arrived in Linzi in two days. The day before was the news that the Chu army defeated the Qin army on the side of the Honggu. On this day, it was said that the Chu army had taken Ao Cang, and the corn of Ao Cang was piled up like a mountain. The boats of Chu could not come and needed the help of Qi State. When Qi heard this news, he couldn't help trembling. In the past two years in Linzi, he had not thought about corn. Now that he had seized Ao Cang, the Chu State would no longer worry about corn.
"What is Qu Qing? The King of Chu pulled out Ao Cang?!" Tian Jian, the king of Qi who had just retreated to his small bedroom, had already changed into a deep clothing. He thought that Von was coming to ask for corn again. In the past two years, Qi sold all the remaining corn to Chu for the sake of the huge armor and blades. Under the pressure of Qin and the needs of domestic corn, Qi was ready to reduce the amount of food and fodder sold to Chu. Unexpectedly, his daughter actually took Ao Cang.
Tian Jian pushed away the Lifei beside him and was very moved. Of course Ao Cang knew that there was more corn there than the water in the sea of Ying. The maid took Ao Cang and sent someone to see him, and he wanted to transport grain himself.
"Report to the king, that's it." Qu Guang smiled. "I remembered the kindness of my uncle (father-in-law) who had helped me before, and now I have obtained grain from Ao Cang, so I asked the king to send boats to Ao Cang to transport grain."
"Ah!" Tian Jianran was stunned. He didn't expect such a good thing. "Is that really that?"
"Yes." Vulcan smiled, "but there are more than 60 million stones of corn in Ao Cang..."
"Cough cough, cough cough..." Tian Jianben wanted to drink a sip of water to suppress his shock. When the refractive team said more than 60 million stones, he immediately choked.
With more than 60 million stones of millet, even if the population of Qi is nearly 5 million, the industry and commerce are booming, and it will not produce more than 60 million stones of millet a year. If you have to accumulate so much millet in the warehouse, with the administrative efficiency of Qi, it may not be accumulated in ten years.
"King..." Concubine Li quickly patted Tian Jian's back. Fortunately, Tian Jian didn't choke hard enough and he stopped coughing for a while.
"Qu Qing, the King of Chu really said that, I want me to send boats to transport corn?" Tian Jian asked again.
"I dare not deceive, but I am indeed saying this. The king has as many boats and oars as he can carry as much corn as he can." Vulcan said. "However, Linzi is the same as Yingdu, and is far from Aocang. Therefore, the boats and oars of the country are transported to Putianze first, so they can transport more than two million stones a day, and then transported back to Chu in the future."
"Putianze?" Tian Jian naturally knew that Putianze. The Chu State transported corn into Putianze, and the Qin army could no longer take it back.
"The country has built a warehouse with concrete in Putianze," Refractive only saw the three words "concrete", but did not know what it meant. "Grain and fodder are placed in Putianze, even in winter, and it will be foolproof."
"Does the King of Chu want me to send troops?" Tian Jian suddenly asked about this.
"I just asked the king to send boats to transport grain quickly, but did not say the matter of sending troops." Qu Guang said, with an extremely sincere attitude.
"It's true?" Tian Jian asked again with concern.
"It is indeed not possible, this world can be seen." Revung said loudly.
"Good." Tian Jian smiled. "I just asked, Qu Qing should not worry. Today I will send boats to Ao Cang to transport grain."
Ao Cang has been occupied by the Chu army. He went to transport grain not to be an enemy of Qin, but to take advantage of his own daughter. It would be a pity if he didn't take such benefits. On that day, the king's order on the south bank of the Yellow River was sent out from Linzi, while the boats in Linzi area drove east into Yinghai, and then went against the Yellow River and then went west.
The number of boats in Qi State was second only to that of Chu State. When the mighty boats drove into the Yellow River from the mouth of the Yellow River, the soldiers of the Zhao army on both sides of the Yellow River were immediately shocked and thought it was the Qi army coming. Fortunately, Wang Ling from Handan had arrived at Fuyang and Zhongyi two days ago and told Qi State that boats will go west along the river in the past few days. As for what the Qi people were doing, these lower-level generals could not know.
"The courage of the King of Chu is not blocked by the world. I heard that the King of Qin was originally in Daliang, and when the King of Chu arrived, I fled overnight." The Chunping Marquis' Mansion of Handan, the Chunping Marquis of Chunping, praised Xiong Jing in front of Feng Guanzi.
There are both true and false intentions in this. At least Chu State delayed Qin State, so that Zhao State could calmly attack Yan State. Just a few days ago, the Zhao army had taken Juyang (now Huailai), as long as it could break through Juyongsai (now Juyongguan) on the southern edge of the Juyang Basin, attack the Jicheng Plain from the north, and break the protracted stalemate of the Yishui Great Wall.
Chunping Hou had already seen hope for this. As long as Qin has been fighting with Chu and has no time for Yan, the Zhao army will be able to destroy Yan in another half a year, suppress all resistance within three years, and completely annex Yan. Therefore, whenever Wu Guanzi lobbied him to send troops to fight against Qin, he always asked Wu Guanzi to speak out from Chu and ask Chu to support Zhao in destroying Yan. When Zhao resolved his worries, he would inevitably join forces to resist Qin.
"Ah. The king and the lord are afraid of Qin like this, would rather destroy Yan State than return to Zhao?" Wu Guanzi sighed. He had known the idea of Chunping Hou's thoughts after several talks.
"I am not afraid of Qin, sir, if Qin attacks me in the future, will the King of Chu really save me?" asked Hou Chunping.
"The King of Chu has said that the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao and Qi will join forces to attack the east county of Qin. Chu does not have any inch of land, but I hope that Zhao will obtain the east county, and the King of Qi will be told by the King of Chu to obtain several cities to block the mouths of Qi. If Qin attacks Zhao in the future, Chu Qi will rescue him..."
