The emperor had reported the case that the woman was robbed by the emperor and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xu Xuan and Yang Yin had completely different opinions.

Yang Yin said angrily: "He is just a fifteen-year-old child. How could he do such a thing? Isn't this what the foolish emperor did?"

If the little emperor heard his comment, he would definitely hold the Grand Minister's hand tightly and say "sincere" a few times. The foolish monarch he was thinking about was finally done.

But Prime Minister Xu's thoughts were different. He said calmly: "Grandmaster, you don't know that there have always been cases of robbing women in the army. It's okay for the soldiers of each battalion to have family members, but those who don't have wives are so uncomfortable, don't you have to rob them?"

"What is this? As you say, they are right to rob it? Then again, even if the entire army robs it, that little emperor cannot rob it! He is our emperor, and everyone in the world is watching it. If it spreads it, how do people in the world say to us?"

Xu Xuan curled his lips secretly. The reputation of the Red Eyebrow Army has long been bad. Is it necessary for the little emperor to ruin it?

"Prime Minister, when we first started the army, everyone had no extravagant demands. Just have a meal to eat. Find a few rich and rich families and find some food. It would be enough for the soldiers in the camp to have a few days of full meals. With surplus grain, they could also help the hungry people. At that time, they could really afford the word "rebels". But later, more and more people joined the gang, but their behavior became more and more disgusting. Every time they went, they didn't care about anything, just rob them, rob them everything, and all the money, silver, silk, cloth and food were plundered, and they didn't even leave a way out for others.

Do you think the people can go to us? People say that we are bandits, robbers, and thieves! Now that we are going to enter Chang'an, we don't want to be thieves, we have established an emperor and become officials. I think this is not a thief, and we can live a peaceful life. But you see, it's still like this! Even such a young emperor who has not grown up has learned to rape and plunder. He robbed the people a few days ago, and today he wants to rob women. If this continues, what's the difference between us and robbers? We wear this official hat and will be a thief until we grow old!" Yang Yin was heartbroken.

Xu Xuan could only smile bitterly, he stroked Yang Yin's shoulder and comforted him, "Grandmaster, please sit down and calm down first. Although the emperor is a half-aged child, he is not young at the age of fifteen. You got married when he was as old as him, right? Which emperor has not had three palaces and six courtyards, and has a lot of wives and concubines? Our emperor has not even a wife. It is a big blame for not thinking about this matter. He didn't choose a concubine or a queen for him early. The young man is full of energy and impulse is common. He grew up in the camp again, and everyone he saw was the soldiers plundering everywhere. Do you think he could not learn?"

"I got married at the age of fifteen, but I didn't go out to grab it! My wife is a matchmaker and six certificates, and she is a marrying man, and she is married to the door with a dignified manner. What is he? He tied up a rope and was forced to cry and shouted at her parents!"

Yang Yin has a hot temper and says it to Fan Chong without any scruples. Because of his old qualifications, righteousness, and prestige in the army, Xu Xuan had to give in to three points.

He coughed and said, "Military disciplines cannot be restrained for a while. Let's talk about it when you enter Chang'an! Your Majesty just robbed a few women, which is not a big deal..."

Yang Yin said angrily: "This is not a big deal? The whole city is sensation! I heard that the guards searched for women from house to house and tied them up. Is this a sign of this? What do the people think of us?"

Xu Xuan thought Yang Yin was a little bit of a big deal. What's the point of stealing a woman? Isn't our Chimei Army's wife always like this? My wife is dead, it's okay, just grab another one! When the child grows up, modern parents will force marriage: "Why aren't you looking for a partner?" Chimei Army's parents will also force marriage: "Why haven't you robbed your wife?"

No need for a house, no car, no money, just a stick, knock it out and carry it away. What a wonderful era!

So yesterday Liu Xiaqing came to report to the emperor to steal women, but Xu Xuan didn't take it as a matter of anything, just said: "Your Majesty has grown up!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty the Emperor is becoming more and more husband-like!" Liu Xiaqing echoed.

If the little emperor heard this, he would probably be desperate. He could forcefully explain the beauty as being masculine. It would be really no one else. If you want to be a fool, you will be in the next life!

Xu Xuan did not want to waste his energy on military discipline. As the chief logistics manager, what he was most troubled about now was military rations.

The Red Eyebrow Army entered Guanzhong, captured Huayin, and then occupied the Jingshi Warehouse, a national-level granary located in Huayin, and solved the problem of food shortage in the army in one fell swoop.

The land quality and climatic conditions in Guanzhong area are good, water conservancy resources are also extremely rich, and agricultural production has always been developed. Zhao Guo, the commander of the Suzu-searched Squash during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, implemented the "field-replacement method", which greatly increased the grain output in Guanzhong area and became the most important grain-producing area in the country.

However, Chang'an, the great capital of the national economy, politics and cultural center, has too many people. It is impossible to afford the grain production in Guanzhong, so it has to transport grain from other regions. In order to facilitate grain storage and transportation, Emperor Wu of Han organized many granaries, which is the relatively large one. According to actual measurements of the Jingshi Warehouse site unearthed in later generations, the area of ​​its No. 1 warehouse alone is 1,600 square meters.

The great capital Chang'an was supported by the whole country. During peacetime, the grain in Kanto was continuously transported to the Jingshi Warehouse on the banks of the Wei River through the river and canals, and then transported from the Jingshi Warehouse to various parts of Guanzhong to fill the local grain gap.

Although the grain reserves in the warehouse have decreased after war, the Red Eyebrow Army still breathed a sigh of relief. In the current situation, there is no need to worry about food for at least three months. However, in the long run, the food and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops are still a big problem.

The reason why the Red Eyebrow Army fought thousands of miles is not because they liked to fight everywhere. On the contrary, many people had already fought enough, were tired of war, and cried all day long and wanted to return to their hometown. As long as they had food, these refugees were too lazy to go anywhere else. It would be great to lie at home to eat every day. Who would be willing to run around shouting and killing?

But they had to leave and had to fight, because they would starve to death when they stopped. No place could support such a huge army for a long time, and the capital warehouse was only able to solve the temporary difficulties. Hundreds of thousands of troops were not engaged in farming, and they only had to eat but not work. After a few months, no matter how big the granary was, they would be empty. What should I do? I still have to leave and fight.

The journey of thousands of miles is just for food, and the same is true for the "begging for life" in later generations.

Fan Chong and Xu Xuan wanted to stop and enjoy the peace and prosperity in the most prosperous Guanzhong land. First of all, we must solve the problem of the army's meals.

Although the great capital is rich, there is no food in the city walls of Chang'an.

If plundering and collecting grain everywhere is "open source", another way Xu Xuan thought of is to "reduce money". By strengthening internal management, the grain of each battalion is uniformly allocated and used in a coordinated manner to reduce losses and waste.

"Ask for efficiency from management" is a common saying by modern enterprises and it also applies in ancient times.

The Red Eyebrow Army is often in a state of shortage of food. It is logical that every grain should be cherished, but strangely, their waste is extremely serious, which is caused by their military supply mechanism.

For the allocation of military supplies, each battalion has always done its own thing. In layman's terms, it means whoever grabs the most will eat more, eat less, and eat less, and don't eat what cannot be grabbed. This causes some battalions to lack food and not to eat enough, while some battalions have too much food to pile up and rot.

For example, the gap in grain storage in these 30 battalions is huge. Several battalions stationed outside Zheng County were the main force in attacking Huayin and Zheng County. At that time, they all robbed a large amount of money and grain, and the grain reserves far exceeded that of other battalions. There was no good storage place in the battalions. If there was a rain, they would face losses and a large amount of grain would become moldy and rotten. However, the other battalions did not participate in the siege and plundered less. Some of them still couldn't eat enough now.

If the chaotic management state of doing things alone is over, the entire army will be uniformly allocated and used, and distributed as needed to solve the huge gap in hunger, the loss of food and grass can be greatly reduced. The army can last longer, and may be able to survive the autumn harvest of the next year and another plunder, so that the Red Eyebrow Army can take root in the place for a long time.

But in each battalion, who would be willing to spit out the fat meat in his mouth? Take the Puyang and Taishan battalions, which stored the most grains, for example. Xu Xuan asked them to pay a portion of the food they had to keep in the warehouse, but was flatly rejected. Why should they spit it back after the grain they had robbed based on their strength? They would rather put it on the rotten one than pay it.

The reasons for each battalion are also very good. They are plundering and handing over to the public? This is a bad rule. In this case, who will work hard to fight? It is not their own if they win or get it.

Xu Xuan was very worried that the interests of all parties were not balanced, so he, the prime minister, was going to die of death.

Such a team is hard to lead!

If their leadership hadn't been quite united, and leaders such as Fan Chong were loyal and prestige, and could barely balance all sides, the team would have long disbanded.
Chapter completed!
