Chapter 76 Ai

Jingyang has been clear in May, but it has rained for three consecutive days on the banks of the Weishui River. Although it is still a sign of the river gradually filling after passing Xiaoman, the rain is rushing. It falls quickly and densely, and there is no trace when it is collected.

Xuyang entered Zhou Guangyu's camp in the rain, lifted the curtain and brought in a lot of water vapor.

"Master, the mugwort sent by His Highness the Queen is here. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Your Majesty summons you to discuss how to distribute it. I heard that in addition to these deworming grasses, I also sent a lot of realgar. This realgar is rare." Xu Yang smiled.

"I understand." Zhou Guangyu put down the book in his hand and stood up immediately. He looked at Xu Yang and asked him to go back to his tent to change his clothes. "It's raining outside, so why don't you even know how to wear a straw raincoat?"

Xu Yang scratched his head and turned around obediently. When the two of them lifted the curtains, the rain had stopped. Xu Yang muttered that he had known that he would have gone out again and ran away.

Zhou Guangyu felt that Xu Yang became more and more childish. He still remembered that on the day of the camp, he asked Xu Yang why he came back quickly. It was easy to get into trouble if he was so tired. If someone had made mistakes due to sending a letter, wouldn’t it be worth it? Xu Yang also smiled and said that he really didn’t dare to be in the wild one night on the first night of the Du Yuetou, so he thought that he would have to go back to the camp before no matter how hard he was.

The expression was sincere, and the dimples on his face were different. He said it repeatedly fortunately, and he said that he always had to force himself to do something. Only after trying it will I know if it will be successful.

I always feel that Xu Yang has taken off some of the shackles in Jingyang after following the army and became more and more comfortable.

Zhou Guangyu smiled very comfortably.

There were still soldiers on duty along the way, and they saw twenty large trucks in front of the Central Army camp, and soldiers were moving them into the small tent next to them. Chen Cheng was commanding and dispatching, and he was also orderly.

Zhou Guangyu heard a man replying: "...I don't know how much damage is. I'm afraid I need to clean up before making plans. Realgar is precious, and there is no bump in half of the cart." This man is a grain official, who is in charge of a lot of money and food. He is the superior of Chen Cheng, the staff officer who is being allocated to the outside world, and is called the surroundings.

Zhou Guangyu looked around the people in the tent at this time, and then heard Emperor Shun Zheng say unhappy: "Well, it's not going as expected when the mountain road is raining, so that they don't have to blame themselves. The realgar is taken away by the military doctor, and the next ones will be distributed today. Tomorrow's day will be the same as usual."

The surroundings responded to the order.

Emperor Shun Zheng attracted Zhou Guangyu and pointed outside the camp, "A Yu, this is your mother's wish, it's very warm. Now that he has been transported to the army, you can go and distribute these with the third brother."

Zhou Guangyu responded to this job, straightened his chest and answered loudly: "My son will accept the order, and I will definitely finish it today." Zhou Guangxu heard the answer and smiled at him.

Everyone laughed gently and said something like the Seventh Prince had grown up and was responsible. The emperor was very happy to hear it. Zheng Haiqing looked at the father and son, lowered his head and looked clear.

The surrounding area brought Zhou Guangxu and Zhou Guangyu into the small tent just now and called Chen Cheng to take action. There are many old examples of distributing materials, money and grain. Zhou Guangxu has always been responsible for it, and even if he is the one who takes charge, the meticulous matters are also handled by these grain officials and staff.

Zhou Guangyu was a little curious and asked Zhou Guangxu, "Third brother, when we just entered the account, what was the reason for the damage we were talking about? Why did it sound like it was not intact?"

"These mugworts are harvested quickly, some of which can be used immediately, while others are fresh. The escorts thought that the delivery time was not short, so they changed the order of stacking, and at least they were exposed to the sun. Unexpectedly, the rain came quickly and quickly, and it became a little wet. When the water was poured in, the quality might not be so good." Zhou Guangxu patted the piled sacks, "Look, some of them were collected from Beijing, and they were covered with rain cloth from the beginning, without any trouble. There were also those collected along the way, but they were not as good as these, and they were more or less watered." Zhou Guangxu's tone was gentle, looking straight and tempting.

Zhou Guangyu frowned, "What should I do?"

Chen Cheng replied, "Seventh Prince, according to the convention, the humble official will first remove the damaged ones and see how many of them are, and the rest will be divided according to the prescribed rules. If the damaged part is not severely drained, it can be distributed even if it is slightly dried. It cannot be expended by His Highness's intention."

Zhou Guangxia nodded, saying that Chen Cheng's arrangement was reasonable. He said that he would count and classify it first, and then he went out.

Zhou Guangyu watched a group of soldiers move one sack after another and then sort and stack it. He always felt that it was not very appropriate to have a place. But he couldn't say it. He could only frown and sit on the side.

The sacks that had been drained were quickly split out, and those that were already dripping and thrown aside, and those that were half-dry and not wet were also packed and tidied. In the end, only 40% were intact. More than half of those that were temporarily dried were tide-like, but they were afraid that they would rot if they were put on. Another 10% had turned into pulp, making the originally dry ground muddy.

Fortunately, Chen Cheng asked someone to light some charcoal basins around the small tent to collect water vapor from the beginning.

Chen Cheng roughly counted it, took the scale and weighed it, and replied: "Your Highness, each person could get half a pound according to the quantity. Now, this trip of wet water is less than three taels, and more than a hundred bags are not enough."

Zhou Guangxu nodded and asked Chen Cheng to divide each person's cloth bag and notify each centurion to collect it, so there was no need to send it out layer by layer. Chen Cheng looked at Zhou Guangyu without any objection, so he accepted the order and agreed.

Zhou Guangxu saw Chen Cheng secretly gaze at Zhou Guangyu and said nothing. He just thought that this matter was over. He was not keen on these things at all, but every time he went to the West, these things would be distributed to himself. After more than ten years, he had done it with ease.

Seeing that Zhou Guangyu was not sure what he was thinking, Chen Cheng said while counting and deciding, "Your Highness the Queen is sympathetic to us soldiers and thought carefully. All these cloth bags are prepared for us. Otherwise, they will be reappeared in the army. Not to mention that there are not many cloths in Curry, even if there are one, it will probably take seven or eight days to drive out." Chen Cheng had a good relationship with Xuyang, so he was familiar with Zhou Guangyu.

Zhou Guangxu was also having some contact with the surroundings on weekdays. After hearing Chen Cheng's words, he said, "It's okay to be grateful, and you must not argue with the queen on weekdays." Seeing that Zhou Guangyu was not leaving, he went to the Central Army to report his life first.

Zhou Guangyu did the first time he did such a distribution. He felt fresh and felt a little distressed when he looked at the damaged mugwort.

Sitting at the desk, watching them wait for weighing, filling and distributing, he looked interested and asked Chen Cheng: "Why do you still have to keep some cloth in the army?"

"When you go back to Your Highness, the regular supplies in the army are actually not often contained in cloth, especially when spring and summer are alternated. But when we go to Hezhou and enter Xijiang, we always need some facial towels and replace them, so we prepare more cloth. It is convenient to go back and sanction. If we buy it in Hezhou, the price of cloth on the border will be high, so we can't compete with the people for profit. This is also secondly, mainly because there are not many cloths on the border, and it is inconvenient to buy them on a large scale. Now we bring it with you. If there are too many, we can still keep some in Hezhou for those who don't charge them at night. They often go to Xijiang to investigate, and it's very expensive to use them. Just think it's support for their brothers."

Chen Cheng replied while his hands were constantly moving. Zhou Guangyu was fascinated by the hearing.
