Chapter 801 Logistics
Guanzhong was a vast expanse of whiteness.

A long dragon on the official road is particularly conspicuous.

It was countless people and livestock transporting baggage to the front line.

In the severe cold weather, the long dragon meanders forward with difficulty.

The ice and snow just swept away will be frozen again after half a stick of incense.

With a sound of "Ah Hoo", a mule slipped and fell to the ground, and even the whole wooden cart overturned. The food on the cart was spilled all over the ground, and the two peasants who were pushing the cart were crushed.

It happened that a young man in regular uniform and his followers passed by, without further ado, he dismounted from the horse, helped clean up the food, carried out the overwhelmed person, and checked his injuries.

"It's okay, no bones are hurt." The boy's voice was gentle.

Several civilian husbands hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, young master, thank you very much, young master."

"In such a cold day, have you ever had enough food and clothing?" The young man sized up several people.

"If you go back to your son, I will help the court to transport food, and the court will pay the wages, which is enough for the family to live a good year. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Maybe I can buy a few more furs." The subordinate turned around and saw that he was full of dignity, knowing that he had met a big man, his expression was more respectful and cautious.

The boy didn't pay attention to these things, "That's good, that's good."

"Hurry up in front, don't get in the way!" The people behind shouted.

The peasants smiled apologetically at the young man, bowed their hands and continued to drive the mule cart.

"Your Highness, Lu Gong is in front of you." Zhang Gui reminded.

The young man quickly got on his horse and headed eastward with the others.

To the east is a transit station, which provides hot water, food, and fodder for the peasants.

Lu Zhi led a group of officials to be busy, and did not pay attention to the arrival of the prince, "If the grain in Hedong is insufficient, we will transfer the grain from Hongnong, Nanyang, and Hanzhong."

"The mountains in Hanzhong are blocked by heavy snow, and the food cannot be transferred. The food in Hedong and Hongnong has already been eaten up, and the food in Nanyang has been sent up, and it can only last for a month."

There are more than 40 horses and livestock in the 20 army, which is more than people can eat.

For this battle, Qin Guo revealed all his old background.

Everything was originally planned.

But this year is colder than previous years, and there is heavy snow everywhere. As a result, the grain in Hanzhong and Shuzhong cannot be shipped out, and the grain in Hehuang is also blocked.

Lu Zhi said: "Nanyang's grain goes up first."

The logistics of several 10 people, without extraordinary talents, is bound to be a mess.

Henkel is fighting for hegemony in the world, if there is no Xiao He, how can the big man be able to defeat the overlord after repeated defeats?
Wei Wu waved his whip to the Central Plains, and it was also Xun Yu who was coordinating the food and grass in the rear.

Suo Jing cupped his hands and said, "Before your majesty goes out to fight, you issued national debts to the people. In my opinion, it's better to issue them again!"

Lu Zhi refused, "It's absolutely impossible. Last time we took away the food stored in the people's homes. This winter is so cold. If we take their food again, how will the people survive?"

Prince Yang Xu listened attentively.

The followers around him also listened carefully, whispering a few words in his ear from time to time.

"For the present plan, the only way is for His Majesty to come earlier..." Du Kuan's eyes flickered, and he swallowed the rest of the words.

Naturally, he didn't want to fight, so he retreated and made a long-term plan.

But it is easy for 40 people to rush forward, but it is not so easy to retreat.

After retiring this year, Sima Yan took a breath, and he didn't know when he would have to wait for the next expedition.

The first sale of a mansion in Daxing City can achieve miraculous results, but it is not a long-term solution to always count on this.

Lu Zhi frowned, "It's up to His Majesty to decide whether to fight or not to fight, and we will devote ourselves to it!"

Du Kuan is a pure literati, but he is not.

Knowing that urging the front at this time will bring great pressure to Yang Zheng.

"The rear is difficult, and the front is even more difficult. Your Majesty entrusted us with Daqin. How can we let him down?" Lu Zhi encouraged everyone.

"What Duke Lu said is true."

"Tai Tu, Shao Fu, Du Gong, I thought that the national debt could be issued!" In front of the high-level officials of the Great Qin Empire, the prince seemed a little embarrassed.

"However, the common people are already overwhelmed." Lu Zhi spent a lot of effort in teaching the prince for so many years. Hearing the prince's words, he was a little displeased.

Yang Xu said: "National bonds can be issued to Hexi gentry and retired soldiers."

The Hexi gentry lay on the commercial road, each of them was extremely rich, especially the Huangfu, Suo, Zhang, Jia and other gentry families. For so many years, their political interests were suppressed by Yang Zheng, so their tentacles extended into the commercial road.

Every year, the east-west trade makes a lot of money.

Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, "The gentry of Hexi are powerful in Guanzhong, and I've been trying to persuade them, but I didn't think about the retired soldiers."

Yang Xu explained: "Retired soldiers are the backbone of my Great Qin. They have been favored by the emperor for so many years, and they should have food in their hands."

When the Chinese army retires at the age of 50, even if they have not made an inch of merit, they will be allocated [-] acres.

And it is exempt from tax during the service period.

As a result, a large number of "little landlords" were created for Daqin.

"I will persuade you personally!" Lu Zhi smiled with his beard, his eyes were filled with relief.

Although the crown prince Yang Xu did not see Yang Zheng's bravery, he was very intelligent.

Of course, people in this era are generally more mature.

Children of ordinary people go to work or herd in the fields at the age of five or six, and get married or go to the battlefield at the age of twelve or thirteen.

After this year, the prince will be twelve.

"The Grand Tutor is planning the rear and working hard, so it's better to go and persuade alone." Yang Xu cupped his hands.

Retired soldiers are also a major resource. People who are 50 years old are not completely old. They can ride horses and go to the fields, and they are highly respected in the village.

It is also a good thing for the prince to be close to them.

Lu Zhi smiled and said: "Your Highness has such a heart, it is really a blessing for the Great Qin!"

"Teacher's words are serious." Yang Xu actually didn't think about it that much, he just wanted to share Yang Zheng's worries.

Zhang Gui, Bei Gongchun, Wen Ji and others around him saluted one by one, "I pay my respects to Duke Lu."

"You don't need to be too polite." Lu Zhi didn't feel complacent because of his high position and authority.

Let everyone be flattered.

Suo Jing said: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, Taifu, the Hexi gentry will definitely support Daqin with all their strength!"

Although the Hexi gentry no longer had the right to be an official, many of the elite children of the clan still served in the court and localities.

It is impossible for the Great Qin court to not use these elite children with real talents and practical learning.

Suo Jing is an example.

For so many years of hard work and hard work, he spent a lot of effort for Daqin.

Great Qin's unification of the world is of course a great thing for the Hexi gentry and powerful Guanzhong.

One glory and one glory.

Kansai has been suppressed for 200 years, and of course the powerful gentry cannot swallow this breath.

Since the Han Dynasty, it is not a surprise that Kansai and Kanto have competed for the top.

"Thank you, sir." Yang Xu bowed his hands to Suo Jing again.

Suo Jing hurriedly returned the gift, "Don't worry, Duke Lu. Your Majesty has brought tens of thousands of livestock with him to deal with the food shortage."

Qin is not only food.

The four major pastures in Hetao, Liangzhou, Hehuang, and Mobei produce nearly 20 heads of various livestock every year, which strongly supports the great cause of world domination!
