When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Gui Xuesheng and his companions stayed in the inn for two days.

He didn't make any statement, but Qionghu couldn't hold it in any longer. He found the postmaster and asked, "What's going on with you Yan State? We have been here for two days, why haven't we seen your Beibo yet?"

Upon hearing this, the postmaster simply glanced at him and said, "We have asked you before, if there is any military business, we will arrange it for you immediately.

But your answer is: You are here to ask for an audience with Beibo and discuss the subsequent transportation of grain.

Since it is a matter of food transportation, it is not a big deal. We are not even halfway through our initial preparations. So, you wait for two more days, and the higher-ups will naturally order you to come and see them."

"..."

Hearing this, Qiong Hu's face turned ugly. He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't find an excuse or reason. He could only groan and turn back.

The postmaster had no time to pay attention to him. He had to check accounts and keep files every day. Moreover, with the increase in logistics personnel, the other post stations in Datong could no longer cope. In a few days, the first group of people would come to stay here, and he had to temporarily build a tent and living camp to share the pressure of other logistics personnel. He had no time to care about him.

Gui Xuesheng was still reading in his room, and of course he could hear the sound of logging and chopping wood from time to time.

He looked down through the window.

The postmen wearing straw raincoats were wielding hoes to complete the drainage ditches around a piece of land, and some were filling in bamboos to make bamboo fences to separate the camp.

There is also a slope located downstream of the local river, far away from residential areas, with a white flag hanging on it with the words "Temporary Epidemic Prevention Agency" written in red.

Even in a rear city like Datong, Yan's epidemic prevention system was still functioning.

Moreover, it is spring now, and it is rainy and cold in the north, with a large temperature difference between day and night. People in nearby villages may also fall ill, so if something like this happens, they will be brought here for isolation as soon as possible.

Otherwise, with so many people coming and going, who knows what would happen.

boom!
The door was rudely pushed open. Gui Xuesheng withdrew his gaze and looked at the angry Qiong Hu who walked in behind him.

He said angrily, "Hurry up and send someone to urge them. No matter what, they can't refuse to see us! Yan State, what do you mean?"

"Now is the time to rush around. If Yan wants to attack Yourong, it will need to march thousands of miles. Just the promised food will take time to prepare. It's not as simple as you think."

"Doesn't the Zhenxi General's Mansion have a granary?" Qionghu asked back, looking unhappy, "You are clearly refusing!"

"The granary of the Zhenxi General's Mansion only has eight months of grain, and the rest of the grain has been transported to the Anxi General's Mansion. Even if Zhenxi and Anxi are added together, according to our inquiries from Gui Shi, it can only be enough for the two generals to use for half a year at most. The rest of the grain needs to be directly transferred from Beiping.

The grain storage quota in all parts of the Yan State is fixed. Even if you stay in your local area, there are no granaries to store the excess.

More importantly, the State of Yan restricted the amount of grain stored in local counties, which greatly prevented local rebellions.

Otherwise, why do you think so many people in Yan State obey Bei Bo's orders? This lord has been balancing the local and central governments since the founding of the state. He has mastered the balance method. With the blocked passes, Yan State can maintain long-term stability. "

After he finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go and see Bei Bo. You go back and wait patiently."

"Hmph! Hurry up! I don't have time to waste here with you!" Qionghu walked out angrily, saying as he walked: "I don't know what Yan Beibo is thinking. If there were no restrictions on food reserves, they would have headed south to start the war by now! Why waste my time here!"

Qionghu's words made Gui Xuesheng curl his lips.

As nobles, and nobles with territorial roots at that, Gui Xuesheng and Gui Zhi had studied the methods of the State of Yan and, like the State of Yan, chose to restrict the stored grain of their vassals and subject tribes.

Whether it was confiscated or exchanged for other things, the choice was to prevent the local areas from retaining too much grain.

Half a year to eight months is the limit for local food storage.

The remaining food was all stored in several granaries, so that the people under his rule would not have the intention of rebelling.

Especially in recent years, with the large-scale popularization and distribution of Yan State's agricultural tools and the increase in grain production in various places, many local tribes have actually developed the foundation for rebellion.

This poor tiger, who rose to prominence by clearing out these rebellious tribes, has now become a noble, but he still doesn't know how to change his mindset. It's really tiring to talk to him. After about half a day, a car stopped at the posthouse.

"Beibo has issued an order to invite the envoy to an audience."

Hearing the sound of the post house, Qiong Hu slapped the table and walked out: "You are too slow! Go! Hurry up and go!"

Gui Xuesheng walked out slowly, and seeing his appearance, he sighed softly, "Stop shouting, get in the car. Don't lose face for the king."

"Nosy!" Qionghu snorted with his neck stiffened. In the end, he did not take any other action. He got in his car and followed.

An hour later, in the inner city of Datong County.

Datong County was run by the Bafu for many years, forming a nested city structure.

The inner city is also called the general's mansion or government office.

The inner city was mainly home to the general's personal guards, warehouses for storing archives, several granaries and armories, and dungeons.

The southeast of the inner city is called Junxiang City, where the soldiers on duty live.

To the northeast is the factory city, which is directly supervised by the military arranged by the central government. It is full of military factories and has rotating craftsmen. Their families all live in the cities around Beiping in Yan State, and are responsible for supervising the production of local military equipment.

Therefore, the county town of Datong is actually three independent cities nested within an outer city.

The remaining space was inhabited by merchants, nomadic chieftains who surrendered to the State of Yan, and local common people of the State of Yan.

It can be said that just by passing through the corridor and arriving at the straight avenue in the middle of Datong City, Qiong Hu's tone became much softer.

This city is much larger than their main city, Taiyuan.

He turned his head and glanced at the arrow tower in the outer city. Even from the high vantage point, he could feel the threat of death.

Inside the city, there was no curfew yet, and people could be heard burning incense, worshipping, drinking, and singing farewell songs everywhere.

Many of them have been drafted in and will be going out with the army in a few days, and they are now communicating with their families, so the curfew in Datong city has been exempted for seven days.

In seven days, this large military city will be at peace.

Just as they were about to enter the palace, a line of soldiers linked their arms and sang a ballad:

"Who says I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raises an army, I share the same hatred with you. General, I will obey your orders and lead you wherever you go with my spear.

Who says I have no clothes? I will share the same clothes with you. When the king raises an army, I will work with you. I am willing to go to war, and I will be the last one to receive the title and salary.

Who says I have no clothes? I will share my clothes with you. When the king raises his army, I will go with you. All evils will be warded off, and there will be no taboos.

Kill the gods and exterminate the demons, the heaven is clear! The rise and fall of the world depends on us! How can we say we have no clothes! We live and die together! "

A group of people sang the ballad modified by Xin Qu, singing about their desire for merit, their belief and worship of the transformed Yan State, and their contempt for the enemy's ghosts and gods, and marched together, constantly arousing everyone's excitement.

The singing also made the Turkish envoys feel nervous!

"We're here! Follow me." The driver who led the way got off the car and looked at the people singing happily. There was a little more eagerness in his eyes, and he muttered, "Alas, why am I not so lucky to join the war?"

Gui Xuesheng, Qiong Hu and others who were passing by felt a chill down their spines.

Asking about war, this Yan State is very scary! (End of this chapter)
