Chapter 71 The matter of transporting grain

With 20,000 kilograms of food, the next step is to transport these food security back to the pass.

The next morning, the caravan was all sorting out goods in the hotel's backyard. They were expected to stay in the city for another two days as planned.

In the simple hotel lobby, there were long-term oil-contaminated solid wood tables and benches. Changsun Sheng and Zhou Wu walked out of the backyard and sat on both sides of a square table in the hall on the first floor.

As soon as the two of them sat down, a hotel person quickly stepped forward to the table and poured a glass of water for them. The man bent down and smiled flatteringly at them before turning around and leaving.

Changsun Sheng withdrew his gaze from this man who was not only a hotel clerk or a boss, and said to Zhou Wu: "Twenty thousand kilograms of grain were sold last night. Captain Zhou can ask the country to send carriages to transport it."

According to Changsun Sheng's observation, this person should be the owner of the hotel. After the caravan chose this hotel last night, the boss was even more pleased with the two because of his generous actions and the background of the lord.

Zhou Wu nodded and confirmed with ease: "No problem, I'll send someone back to notify me!"

Changsun Sheng picked up the wooden cup, looked at the water in the wooden cup, frowned, put down the wooden cup, stopped touching it, and looked up and said, "By the way, Captain Zhou, when sending people to transport grain, remember to send troops to protect the country!"

Zhou Wu saw that Changsun Sheng had not had the water in the cup and was about to get the wooden cup. He shrank back in seclusion, wrapped his arms around his chest, and replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Changsun, I will definitely convey it, so that no chance of any slut!"

Changsun Sheng glanced at his hands holding his chest, took out the letter from his arms, handed it to Zhou Wu, and told him seriously: "You bring this letter back to the head of Tianqianguan. The banquet last night was a bit abnormal. Just in case, it would be better to set off as soon as possible!"

After saying this, he sighed and said to himself: "I hope I'm overthinking!"

The so-called No. 1 Knight said something in Kevin's ear, which made Kevin look that way. He thought about it for a long time last night, and there was no other choice except for robbing halfway!

But he was not afraid. With the strength of this territory, as long as he was prepared, he would not be able to chat!

Seeing that Changsun Sheng had nothing to give, Zhou Wu took away the letters he handed to him, and got up and walked towards the backyard. Seeing the eagerness of walking quickly, it seemed as if there was a terrible monster driving him out in the hall.

After finding the captain of the Light Cavalry Squadron, Zhou Wu ordered to Zhu Cheng: "Zhu Cheng, immediately send someone to General Di or Staff Lu of Tianqian Pass."

"Yes, I obey the order!" Zhu Cheng took the letter with both hands, clasped his fists and followed the order loudly.

Zhou Wu nodded, as if he had thought of something, and added: "Send two soldiers and go immediately, right away!"

"Yes!" After receiving Zhou Wu's order, Zhu Cheng immediately sent two light cavalrymen, took the letter written by Changsun Sheng, and galloped towards the south with a fast horse.

Zhu Cheng has long been used to obeying orders on the battlefield. Even if Zhou Wu doesn't say it, he knows that the military situation is urgent and cannot be delayed!

"Go~!Go~!"

"Tait ~!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of riding a horse sounded outside the hotel. Listening to the sound of horse hooves leaving, Changsun Sheng relaxed his frowning. Now, he could do business in this small town for two days with peace of mind!

After tidying up the lapels and collars of the clothes. Seeing the other people in the caravan driving the carriage to the street, Changsun Sheng walked out of the hotel, stood at the door, smiling, and shouted at the caravans: "Go, set up a stall!"

The caravan merchant also smiled and replied: "What a shame! We are ready!"

While talking and laughing, they drove the carriage and continued to go to the small square outside the castle to set up a stall.

Lord Kevin has agreed to use this square during his business in the caravan to repay the "friendship" of the various gifts given to him by the caravan!

After last night's banquet, Changsun Sheng had basically emptied all the excess food in this territory.

As for why we still have to continue setting up stalls here? That's because, in addition to Lord Kevin's request, Changsun Sheng was waiting for the arrival of the carriage that transported grain.

Only after the handover is completed can he truly feel relieved!

The small town was not far from Tianqian Pass, only fifty kilometers away. Two light cavalrymen rushed down without stopping, and rushed to Tianqian Pass that afternoon.

The two light cavalry were so tired that they were almost breathless. With the help of soldiers in the pass, they came to the main tent of the infantry brigade.

"General, staff officer, this is the expedited messenger sent back by the caravan!" The two soldiers who were supported put down the two tired light cavalrymen and reported with their fists.

Di Qing nodded and said, "You guys go down!"

After seeing the soldiers going out to the main tent, he turned to the two light cavalrymen and said, "Thank you for your hard work, give me the things!"

The two were gasping and sweating profusely, looking at each other on their knees. One of the soldiers took out a wrapped package from their arms with trembling hands.

Although my hands were trembling, I took the package very steadily when I took it out of my arms!

Lu Su stepped forward and retrieved the package with both hands. When he was picking up the package, he used a little force to take the package from the other party's trembling hands.

After retrieving the package, Lu Su immediately opened it, took out the heavily wrapped letters, handed them to Di Qing, and said, "Please look, General!"

Di Qing hurriedly took the letter with both hands. After seeing that the seal was intact, he tore open the envelope, unfolded the letter paper, and quickly browsed it.

After less than a few breaths, Di Qing handed the read letter to Lu Su and shouted: "Come here!"

After Lu Su took the letter, he quickly started reading it. When the two personal soldiers walked into the main account, he had already read the contents of the letter, collected the letter, and waited for Di Qing to further orders!

"One of you two will inform the carriage convoy in Xiaguan and let them be prepared. When they are ready, they will set off immediately and go outside the pass to transport grain!" Di Qing gave an order and said.

"One other way to send the regular battalion to prepare the soldiers of the regular battalion to go to war!"

"Yes, general!" Two personal soldiers held their fists and took the order and withdrew from the main account.

After giving the order, Di Qing turned to look at Lu Su and said, "This time, the staff officer, please go there yourself!"

"Yes, general!" Lu Su knew that the food transport was not delayed, so he directly held his fist and took the order. Then he also withdrew from the main account and brought two commanders who had a short rest out of the main account.

The grain transport carriage convoy in Tianqian Pass has been prepared, with a total of fifty carriages.

Each carriage can transport two tons of grain, which is 2,000 kilograms (kilograms). The harvest in the small town this time was 20,000 kilograms, and only ten carriages can be transported.

Other carriages must follow the caravan to other territories so that they can carry food with the team. This is also part of the plan. If there is not enough in the future, additional carriages will be sent!

At the beginning, the caravan went to this small town for the purpose of doing business, and could not send so many people blatantly, so the empty carriage behind them was waiting in the Tianqian Pass.

Now that the transaction has been completed, the caravan can use too much food and the caravan cannot transport it, and the caravan will send more convoys. Otherwise, the size of the convoys in the future will not be opened, and the small city will let them in.

So don’t talk about transactions, and you have no idea about grain!
