He secretly adjusted his kneeling posture and said honestly: "Grandma, I will definitely do it well after I go to Caizhou."

Chen Yougen did not respond for a long time.

Just as Chen was kneeling sore and his legs were numb, his father's voice finally rang in his ears: "Get up."

Chen got up quickly, but he just stood there and didn't dare to go into the house and sit down.

Chen Yougen pondered for a while and asked, "Do you know why I took you to Cai Zhouyuan?"

"I've already started a family, so it's time to become an official," Chen Shi said.

"Stupid." Chen Yougen was too lazy to scold his son hard, and asked back, "If you want to become an official, where can you go? Do you have to go to Xiangyang?"

"Then--" Chen was thinking hard and couldn't understand it.

Chen Yougen didn't want to take the exam for his son anymore, because it was useless, so he could only make himself feel upset, so he said, "Are you still accumulating military merits for you? Although the emperor has mobilized so much food and grass, it is not necessarily enough to fight. The Shaofu collected more than 4.3 million beans a year, and the garden households, officials, banquets, and rewards cost more than 3.6 million, and there was still a surplus of 700,000 hu. The garden forests in various places also raised more than one million miscellaneous animals. In addition to the expenses, the surplus was more than half. There were also profits such as bamboo, wood, cloth, fruits and vegetables. A garden forest was far more than what you saw."

"Shaofu Supervisor Cai Cheng has ordered the investigation of the surplus of the nine major gardens, and then allocate grain, jerky, cheese, and dried fruits to the front to serve as military food. Caizhouyuan is originally cooked land, and it has been almost two years since it was handed over. There are more than 2,100 households in the park, and the products are quite abundant. After you go, you will do your best, strive to expand some farmland, raise more livestock, and do things beautifully. It is a credit."

After saying that, he sighed quietly and said, "If you were like a bear in the past, you would be embarrassed to say hello to your father. If you hadn't seen this scene so big and the country was about to collapse, how could you consume the relationship with the emperor? Alas, can you defeat your son understand your hard work? "

"I understand." Chen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, but he just didn't know if he really listened to it or forgot it.

"Cai Zhouyuan's surplus grain and meat were transferred from Huan Wen, the commander of Xiangyang Branch. You one by one." Chen Yougen pointed at his son and said, "You should do it yourself."

Chen bowed his head helplessly and said, "Okay."

*******

In fact, it was not just Chen Yougen's family who were putting their children in? They all launched a battle of destruction. Everyone knew that there were not many opportunities to make military achievements, so they all operated one after another, showing their magical powers.

On the fifteenth day of the winter month, the younger brother of Mi Zhi, the general of the left Changzhi Guard, who had been at home to manage his property, also moved for a while. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Sima, the commander under Huan Wen, who died of an acute illness in Jingling, he got the job. He packed his luggage on the spot, took more than a dozen troops south, and took office immediately.

He did not walk alone, but set out with a group of "young boys" in Luoyang.

Everyone brought more than ten guards, servants, and guests, and for a while, there were many people and powerful people, so that some people couldn't help but ask: They are all small officials of the seventh and eighth rank, and they don't have enough money to support a group of people. Don't you feel like you're panicking?

No one paid attention to him.

Is it because I am interested in the salary that is not enough to be stuck in my teeth when I go to an official position? For the sake of money, I should manage the industry at home instead of risking death from a disease and going south to Jingzhou.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the group rushed to Xiangyang one after another.

There are no more troops here, but there are really many people.

The grove in the west was covered with felt blankets, and Ding Zhuang was so tired that he took a break.

On the coast of Mianshui in the east, there were dense ships, almost filling the river. Smoke from the cooking stove rose from the deck, and rotten vegetables and leaves floated everywhere. The workers were working hard to unload trucks of supplies and load them into the cabin.

At the foot of the mountain to the south, the flock of sheep from somewhere had almost chewed the dead grass on the ground.

The city walls to the north were hung with heads after heads, which were the servants who were unable to bear the pain of fortune and were caught after escaping.

This is war ·—·

The young men in Luoyang sighed and scattered.

Mi Qu and Chen walked together and arrived at the bank of Mianshui. After waiting for a long time, they waited until a small wooden boat that could only accommodate two or three people. After struggling to pass through the gaps of the big boat, they arrived on Caizhou Island.

Huan Wen's mouth bubbled up, and his voice was hoarse. After seeing Mi Qu, he took the official uniform and asked him to change it on the spot, saying, "You are here just right. Come with me to Jiangling. There is a person who can write calculations there."

Mi Qu was free and easy, and he heard this and bowed, "As for the order."

After saying that, he asked the boatman to quickly return to the west bank and fill his luggage and entourage.

Chen Shize greeted each other with the officials of Cai Zhouyuan. After learning that Princess Jingfu had moved to Huan Mansion in Xiangyang City and returned the Cai family's old house, he was slightly disappointed.

However, just when he was stunned, Cai Zhouyuan's officials said goodbye and left, leaving only a lower-level recorder to accompany him.

"This is-" Chen was a little confused.

"There are 15,000 hu of rice in Caizhouyuan to be sent to Jiangling. Now only three boats have been found, and two are still missing. Yuan Cheng went to borrow a boat from the Qian family, and some people went to find a sudden train. If it really doesn't work, they would take the land route. The garden was full of chaos and was really busy." The recorder reminded.

"Hmm?" Seeing that he was speaking in a very organized manner, Chen couldn't help but look at him more.

"I came to Cai Zhouyuan last year and was a student of Bianliang Wu." The recorder bowed and said.

"Oh." Chen Shi said no wonder, and asked again: "Yuan Zhong--"

"If the official has time, why not go to the Captain Xia Huan to see if he can squeeze out two boats and carry 6,000 rice rice to the south." The recorder said: "The loss of time is quite serious and Caizhouyuan can't afford it. The young minister of the government will count cattle and sheep in Guangchengyuan. Now, he will come to Caizhou soon. The official——"

"Think about other solutions first." Chen subconsciously rejected the idea of ​​going to Huan Wen for help, because he couldn't squeeze out the canal ship.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Is King Zhao in Xiangyang?"

"Here," said the recorder: "The King of Zhao ordered merchants in the market to donate and prepare to send a batch of grain and silk to Jiangling today to meet the military supplies. If the official can persuade the King of Zhao, it will naturally be a great thing."

Chen nodded, but his feet did not move, obviously hesitating.

He had a good relationship with Zhao Wangshao, so it was possible to find him to help, but was it worth consuming favors in this matter? He was a little hesitant.

The recorder observed his expression and sighed, and said, "If Yu Ling is still here, he will definitely be able to persuade Captain Huan and King Zhao,

well."

Chen felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, and snorted coldly, "Why do you need Yu Bin to come forward? I'll go to see King Zhao now."

After saying that, before he had time to change his official uniform, he rushed straight to the river bank and searched for ferries everywhere.

The recorder followed him, helping to find a raft while laughing secretly.

Chen glanced at him and snorted coldly again.

He is not a fool, so why don’t he know the two young envoys of this martial arts student? But when he caught up with this, he could only run for a while.

Furthermore, if you don’t use any means to let the people below see their connections and skills, how can you convince them in the future? How can you use these people?

The raft slowly floated, carried the two of them up and rowed to the west coast.

Looking down from the air, there were probably tens of thousands of people in the entire Xiangyang. They were sweating and sorting arrows, swords and guns, grains and beans, felt blankets, cloths, medicinal materials, clay pots and other items, and wholesale them to the south in batches.

The ship cuts the waves and goes down the river.

The ox carts lined up in long queues and walked with scales.

The horse hangs the bells and crosses one ridge after another.

Suddenly, a large herd of horses rushed directly through the fields, gradually disappearing on the distant horizon amid the loud shouts of the shepherd.

Another group of Hu people with braided hair arrived. They carried their horn bows and led their horses, without stopping, and walked forward silently.
