Chapter 99

The northward team traveled lightly, and even if they had to slow down to take care of Yan Qinshi, they were still faster than the southward team that was escorting disaster relief supplies.

Although Meng Shulan was asked to go to Jicheng to raise relief supplies, Jicheng has limited supplies after all, so they had to bring some relief supplies south from Kangdu on this trip.

Coupled with the supplies of the two carriages contributed by Yan Qing, in order to prevent being robbed on the road, they must not dare to march too tiredly on the road.

After Yan Qing arrived, about half an hour later, the person in charge of this march—Meng Shulan arrived late.

When Zeng Chengwen saw Meng Shulan, he wanted to say something disparaging to Yan Qing about how Meng Shulan made them wait for him alone, but when he saw the convoy following Meng Shulan, his jaw dropped in shock.

He thought it was an exaggeration for Yan Qing's family to take out two carriages of gold, silver and cloth, until he saw the convoy brought by Meng Shulan.

Not to mention what was pulled in those carriages with sheds, just the big sacks pulled by four or five bullock carts.

Having been a soldier for so many years, among other things, Zeng Chengwen felt that with his eyes, he would never mistake the grain bag!

How many times has he been betting on grain? If he doesn't have this bit of vision, it would be a shame to tell it!
Zeng Chengwen made a little estimate, and the total of these four or five carts of rice and grain would be about a hundred stones.

One stone of rice is normally enough to feed a family of three for a month, and one stone of rice is enough to feed 300 people for a month.

This is still calculated as a meal of rice. If it is made into porridge or the like, it can be eaten for a longer time.

There are only a thousand people in Yuhuai County, and this hundred shimi is enough for half a month's expenses.

This was only taken out by Meng Shulan himself, not counting the disaster relief food issued by the court!

"Military Master, let's just ask, is this... is the imperial court sending out relief food again?"

Intuition told Zeng Chengwen that it could not be the imperial court, and if the imperial court sent it, there would be a little less hundred stones.

But if he had to admit that this was Meng Shulan's personal donation, he couldn't believe it.

Meng Shulan glanced at him, a little confused, obviously not listening clearly.

Looking at the bruises in Meng Shulan's eyes and the bloodshot eyes, Zeng Chengwen estimated that he hadn't slept all night, so he was still awake at the moment!
But even if he didn't get Meng Shulan's answer, Zeng Chengwen still knew it, but he couldn't believe it.

In his impression, although the military strategist who took advantage of it was relatively generous, the monthly expenses were only ten taels of silver.

Although the ten taels of silver are enough to feed a family of six for half a month.

However, as the emperor's nephew, the injustice of the military commander, the expenses are relatively small, and generally richer families can reach his level.

But now all of a sudden, this not-so-rich guy suddenly took out a hundred shi of rice and grain, especially now that Zhanghuai has been hit by a disaster, and the domestic rice harvest is in poor condition. A catty of rice costs half a tael of silver, and a hundred shi is worth thousands two silver.

Not to mention that there are several covered carriages behind him, who don't know what to carry.

Because of the example of Yan Qing, Zeng Chengwen had an intuition that there should be gold and silver in the carriage.

Although they were merciless when Meng Shulan got the reward and gave them a share of the money, but...

He suddenly remembered that the military adviser in front of him who had been taken advantage of by him and drank for four years, his most valuable identity was not the nephew of the emperor, but the only son of King Rong Jin!

How rich was King Rongjin back then?

It is probably the money that the imperial court has moved out of the treasury for disaster relief. In fact, most of it was donated by King Rongjin back then.

If King Rong Jin hadn't donated a treasury by himself, how could he, a businessman with a foreign surname without any official background, be made an exception to be crowned king?
This thought immediately made Zeng Chengwen withdraw his previous decision to donate half of the money.

The gods are fighting, so don't be too ugly for a little shrimp like him.

Now that Meng Shulan has arrived, the team is ready to go.

Zeng Chengwen first went to arrange the chariots and horses brought by Meng Shulan neatly in the team, and then came back to ask Meng Shulan for instructions, but saw that the man was riding alongside Yan Qing, but kept nodding his head, talking to Yan Qing without saying a word. .

Seeing Meng Shulan's eyelids fighting, Zeng Chengwen was afraid that he would fall off his horse!

Sure enough, as soon as he had this idea, he saw Meng Shulan roll to the ground as soon as he crooked.

He was so scared that he almost rushed up, but before he had time to urge the horse, Meng Shulan had already been brought back.

A normal person swings left and right, and no matter how trapped this shock is, they will be a little more awake.

Meng Shulan was unconscious, and even fell on Yan Qing's horse.

If it wasn't for Yan Qing's quick movements, his head would have been hit hard on the saddle!

But the two were originally riding two horses. Meng Shulan was unconscious, and the horse under him was a little out of control. In order to prevent the parallel horses from separating and dragging him directly, Yan Qing had to free up one hand to hold him. He bridles.

With both hands full, Yan Qing could only let Meng Shulan lean on his shoulder so as not to fall off the horse.

Zeng Chengwen was very angry when he saw it.

Pooh!shameless!
They are all in the forward camp. It is certain that they will be sleepy for a day or two without sleep. If they are so sleepy, how can they coax ghosts? !
On weekdays, he looks well-dressed and polite, but behind his back, he is a fucking beast who takes advantage of the little general!
After scolding Meng Shulan in his heart, Zeng Chengwen was puzzled again.

To be reasonable, this beast in clothes and clothes was not so bold before, did he take the wrong medicine recently?
Zeng Chengwen thought about it for a while, it seems that after the battle with Li Dingshan that day, everyone was exhausted, this bastard relied on his own haste to recruit the little general to sympathize and feel guilty, and let him lean on his shoulders. After that, he became more and more courageous. !

Pooh!hypocrite!
However, Zeng Chengwen scolded and scolded, and when he approached Yan Qing, he didn't intend to help, but just asked: "Little General, the team has been reorganized, and we can leave at any time."

"Ah."

Yan Qing responded and greeted, "Come here and give me a hand."

Seeing Meng Shulan's quietly opened eyelids, Zeng Chengwen hesitated for a moment, but saw Meng Shulan sitting up shaking his head, shaking his head, as if he had just woken up and didn't know what he had done at all.

However, when she touched Yan Qing's eyes, Meng Shulan looked away inadvertently, yawned, looked back in a daze, and looked at Yan with tired eyes Qing said: "Ah Qing, you lead the team first, I have to go to the carriage for a while."

As he spoke, he yawned again, and then he was about to get off the horse in a daze, as if he didn't notice that the horse was still walking.

"Eh!"

Yan Qing stopped his horse, frowned and reprimanded, "Be careful."

Meng Shulan bent her lower lip, then retracted it quickly, nodded in a daze, and then staggered towards the carriage.

Both Yan Qing and Zeng Chengwen shook their heads.
