Chapter 226 Difficult to Raise Food (Add more for Da Meng Zhao Di!)
Yang Yansi's words created a huge storm in Huyan Chijin's mind, overturning all her previous cognition.

She sat motionless on the chair, thinking carefully about the right and wrong of Yang Yansi's words.

This sitting lasted for half an hour.

At this moment, Yang Yansi was not idle either.

He took out four sheets of letter paper from the desk and wrote four letters respectively.

Three letters were left for Huyan Chijin to send to Yang Yanzhao and the other three, and for the remaining letter, Yang Yansi recruited Zhao Di and asked him to send someone to Xie Tao.

Under the operation of Yang Yansi, the official fan Xie Tao finally broke away from the category of ninth-rank Zhima official, and now sits on the position of seventh-rank Fengling county magistrate.

Xie Tao had already taken up his post in Fengling County a month ago, and he was a pawn arranged by Yang Yansi.

When Zhao Di left with the letter, Huyan Chijin also woke up from his contemplation.

"Figured out?"

Yang Yansi poured a cup of tea for Huyan Chijin, and asked with a smile.

Huyan Chijin shook his head, "I still can't figure it out, I want to see with my own eyes whether Hou Renbao will really do what you said, and bury a hundred thousand soldiers in the mountains.

If that's the case, then the concubine will listen to you in the future.If not, I hope you will find your way back.I don't want you to gamble with your family's life. "

Yang Yansi smiled lightly: "Then we will wait and see."

"By the way, how is the other thing I told you to do?"

Huyan Chijin stared at Yang Yansi with a complicated expression, "Are you asking my concubine to search for gold, silver and iron ore in the mountains to accumulate money and buy people's hearts?"

Yang Yansi shook his head and nodded.

"It's not all... Money can buy people's hearts, but it can help me control Jiaozhi as soon as possible."

Huyan Chijin gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Will you rebel?"

Yang Yansi lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head.

Huyan Chijin nodded, "It's fine if you don't rebel, I'm in a mess physically and mentally, I want to be alone for a while."

Rebellion is a big event, a huge event, and a little carelessness will implicate the great event of the Nine Clans.

Huyan Chijin is just a little girl, she never had such a thought in her heart.So when she encountered something related to the rebellion, she would subconsciously shrink back.

Yang Yansi can understand this.

Yang Yansi sent Huyan Chijin out of the prison barracks, and Huyan Chijin walked towards his barracks alone with his head down.

After Huyan Chijin was sent away, Yang Yansi returned to the barracks.

Liu Xin and Li Yunlong had been in a snooze for a while, and they had already come to their senses.

After Yang Yansi stepped forward to salute, he asked: "You two virtuous brothers, you have arrived in Annan now. I wonder when you will go to your post?"

Li Yunlong and Liu Xin were talking by hand, and when they heard Yang Yansi's words, they laughed loudly: "Brother Yang Xiandi urged the two of us to go to the post, do you have something to ask?"

Ming people don't speak dark words, Li Yunlong has already guessed Yang Yansi's intentions, so he is outspoken.

"The two virtuous brothers entered the camp with me, and I also know that there is only less than three days' worth of food in the camp. After three days, the food storage is exhausted, and the soldiers will inevitably have dissatisfaction.

Once they gather a crowd to rebel and leave the barracks, they will inevitably lose their lives.

I thought that the two virtuous brothers were working in a nearby county and could help raise some food for them to survive.As long as there is food to eat, they will not take risks. "

Seeing the slight hesitation on the faces of the two of them, Yang Yansi hurriedly said: "I won't take the food raised by the two virtuous brothers in vain. The two virtuous brothers can find some bridge repair and road repair jobs in their respective counties. Let them do it. First, they can repay the two virtuous brothers for their life; second, they build bridges and repair roads to benefit the people, which is also a political achievement for the two virtuous brothers."

Li Yunlong waved his hands when he heard the words: "I'm afraid Brother Yang has misunderstood me. On the way to Annan this time, Brother Yang took good care of the two of us. If I can help Brother Yang, I will do my best. It's just that Yongzhou ruled the land The population is sparsely populated, and my brother is worried that he will not be able to raise so much food in a short time."

Liu Xin nodded in agreement, "That's right. When I came here, I read the memorials from various places in Yongzhou, and I knew a little about the population of Yongzhou. Except for some exiled people and the families of criminal officials, the rest of Yongzhou Most of the following are scattered slang and bureaucrats.

The slang and Liao lived by hunting all year round and knew nothing about farming, so it was difficult to raise food from them.The family members of prisoners are sparsely populated, and they don't have too many acres of land to plant. I'm afraid they won't be able to raise food for more than 1 soldiers to eat and drink. "

Yang Yansi cupped his fists and said: "You two virtuous brothers, let's try first, if it doesn't work, I'll think of other ways."

Liu Xin nodded and got up to tidy up.

"Since this is the case, the two of us will go to the office to make some preparations. We will give an answer to my virtuous brother tomorrow about the results."

Yang Yansi cupped his fists again and said, "Thank you two virtuous brothers."

It was urgent to solve the problem of food and grass in the barracks. Liu Xin and Li Yunlong also knew the seriousness of the matter. After packing their bags, they each rushed to their posts.

As soon as Liu Xin and Li Yunlong left, Zhao Di came in and reported that the cleaning of the barracks had been completed.

After Yang Yansi checked, he went back to his room and re-planned some barracks.

Some unqualified barracks were all demolished and rebuilt by him.

At the same time, he also set up toilets and baths for washing and other facilities in the barracks.

After re-planning, Yang Yansi handed over to the soldiers to do it.

His idea is very simple, the soldiers must be given things to do, they cannot be idle, and they cannot be kept thinking about the lack of food and grass in the barracks all the time.

Early the next morning, Xie Tao, who received Yang Yansi's letter, hurried to the barracks to ask for an interview.

Yang Yansi met him in his prison barracks.

Seeing Xie Tao again, Yang Yansi was also taken aback.

Xie Tao's skin was a little darker, and he wore a dress similar to that of an ethnic minority.

Seeing Yang Yansi staring at the bag-like clothes on his body, Xie Tao blushed and said brilliantly, "Do as the Romans do... Do as the Romans..."

Yang Yansi didn't bother about Xie Tao's clothes, he asked Xie Tao to sit down.

Said: "I asked you to come here this time, I want you to help me raise some food and grass, the price is easy to discuss."

Hearing the raising of food and grass, Xie Tao stood up and said with a bitter face: "Sir, you are making it difficult for you to step down. Although the lower official is now promoted to be the magistrate of Fengling County, the area under his administration is indeed as large as a county. However, the people under the government of the lower officials barely make up enough for a village.

With just such a small number of people, the food grown is not enough for ourselves. Even if the lower officials bother to raise money, they will not be able to raise much. "

Xie Tao pointed to the clothes on his body, "Look at the attire of the officials. In order to increase the number of people under their rule, the officials specially changed into the clothes of the Liao people to attract the Liao people down the mountain."

Yang Yansi could see that Xie Tao was not crying poor in front of him, but the truth.

About an hour later, Li Yunlong and Liu Xin also sent people over, and the messages they sent were similar to what Xie Tao said.
