Chapter 428
With the escort of the army, it is impossible for anyone in the envoys to leave the team or communicate with the outside world.

Moreover, Chu Yin specially ordered that Xiaoxing must stay overnight on the road, and the envoys should not suffer.

Of course, not all members of the envoys left, and those who were trustworthy and capable of handling affairs were left behind.

On the second day, the counselors came up with a plan for "borrowing food". Chu Yin made a total calculation and felt that what they had given was the best plan, so he summoned all the generals and assigned tasks.

I heard that all the generals had experience in going to "borrow food", so they smiled and agreed, and took orders to go.

Then Chu Yin went to the military supply department to have a look.

The quartermaster has mobilized the surrounding people to help make some sieves, and the work efficiency has improved a lot.

After several times of screening, the grain can finally be sent to the Huotou camp, but it still needs to be washed several times before cooking.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of water in the barracks, otherwise, it would be even more difficult to do.

These grains mixed with sand are estimated to be [-]-[-]% of the total.

Because there are still a lot of moldy and inedible inside.

The quartermaster has scolded people dryly these days, and he scolded all eighteen generations of ancestors who secretly traded grain.

It's good to vent your emotions, and Chu Yin didn't intervene.

Now she doesn't have to inspect the construction of the eighteen cities in the border area, so as not to be suspected of exceeding her authority.

There will be more time to inspect the camp and urge the soldiers to step up their training.

Before she and Rong An exchanged again, the spies who monitored the prefect of Jinyang Prefecture returned.

Wu Jizu did not participate in the food exchange incident, but he had already joined the Chen family's camp at this time.

Jiang Niang collaborated with Zhang Dacheng to do the food exchange.

It was Jiang Niang who stole Wu Jizu's seal and gave it to Zhang Dacheng. Zhang Dacheng contacted individual local grain merchants to do this.

After the food was resold, the loot was divided among the land, and Jiang Niang got [-]%.

However, she didn't want any of the [-]% of the silver, and gave it to Wu Jizu's old mother.

Wu Jizu's old lady is a money stringer, even if a penny is in her hands, she can't get her to take it out again.

Wu Jizu himself was not such a clean and honest official, otherwise he would not have been able to earn such a large family business.

But he knew that the rations could not be moved.

When Zhang Dacheng came to him and told him that the rations had been sold, Wu Jizu wished he could kill him.

But the matter has come to this point, killing is useless, and his old mother is holding the money in her hand, and he can't speak clearly even with his mouth covered all over.

Besides cooperating with Zhang Dacheng, what else can we do?

Only now did Zhang Dacheng tell him that he was doing things for the empress dowager, to be precise, he was doing things for the third prince. In the future when the third prince ascended the throne and became emperor, they would all have meritorious service.

Zhang Dacheng also analyzed the odds of the third prince with Wu Jizu.

Wu Jizu had been in Jinyang Mansion for a long time, thousands of miles away from the capital, and he only wanted to be the emperor of the country, and he didn't care much about the situation in the court.

But the Chen family is powerful and the Empress Dowager Chen is powerful, he knows it.

So he obeyed Zhang Dacheng and was willing to follow the third prince.

Zhang Dacheng told him the truth after he got his nomination certificate: "The grain is said to have been sold, but in fact the buyer is also our own, but it's just a transfer in the middle so that no one can find out the whereabouts of the grain.

"This batch of food will be shipped back soon, please arrange it properly, sir.

"When the time is right, the higher-ups will requisition this batch of grain.

"Not to mention anything else, just the credit for preserving food is enough for an adult to be promoted two ranks!"
