Feng Wu squinted his eyes, feeling a little surprised.

He was already a Qingzhou fighter general, and it was easy for him to kill ten Qingzhou fighters in one move, let alone ordinary soldiers.

But by chance!

The "scavenger" in front of me can actually resist the pressure of his own army. Even with the help of the magic sword embryo, it is enough to show that this child is extraordinary!

Just think of this.

Feng Wu gave up the thought of forcing force and said coldly:

"How many do you want?"

Jiang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In order to resist the Qingzhou Fighting General-level military force, the Demon Killing Taihei Sword Technique was also pushed to the extreme, and the energy and blood in his body was consumed very quickly.

If Feng Wu continues to press for about twenty breaths, the energy and blood in his body will be exhausted, and he will show his cowardice.

At that time, don't say "How much do you want?", you will be lucky to keep control of the granary.

"call……"

Jiang Chen let out a breath, regained his usual calmness, and said in a deep voice:

"First, it's the public's shortfall."

"Although these giant rats only ate about two to three hundred shi of grain, their excrement contaminated thousands of shi of grain. Please make up for these losses immediately, Captain Feng."

Hear the words.

Feng Wu felt a pain in his heart.

Thousands of kilograms of grain, if it were the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, that would be fine.

The Jiaolong captains in Jingzhou have the power to call for wind and rain. The weather in Jingzhou and Yangzhou is good every year, and the rice yield is extremely high. At most, one or two hundred taels of silver can buy thousands of kilograms of rice grain.

In fact.

The birth and development of Jingzhou warriors were also an important reason why the economic center of Jiuzhou moved south as early as the Han Dynasty.

However, in this remote western region, transporting grain from the interior was consumed by people and horses chewing it along the way. Feng Wu estimated that it would take at least six to seven hundred taels of silver to barely make up for the shortfall.

Feng Wu said coldly:

"I don't have time to collect food and grass. How about six hundred and fifty taels to make up for the public deficit?"

Jiang Chen was stunned.

The Western Regions are rich in wheat, and with the advent of pasta, wheat grains have also been included in the category of military rations. Thousands of stones of local wheat grains can be purchased with at most two to three hundred taels of silver.

But it is obvious that Feng Wu has not yet understood the new thing of flour, and still looks at the problem from the old perspective, which is why he shouted out the high price of 650 taels.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly:

"Okay, just six hundred and fifty taels."

As for the extra three or four hundred taels of silver... they should be given to handsome people to use!

Feng Wu showed a slightly impatient look on his face and asked calmly:

"If you have any other requests, just tell them."

Jiang Chen showed a professional smile.

The second request, of course, is to gain benefits for yourself and the Qingzhou soldiers who work hard together!

Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, a loud but faintly weak voice suddenly sounded from the street in the distance:

"The second request is that I hope Colonel Feng and your men will return to the Western Expedition Army camp as soon as possible. The battle to destroy the country in Loulan will be indispensable for you, a strong general!"

The person who spoke was none other than the substitute Colonel Zhang Ying.

now,

Zhang Ying still plays the role of Zhang Longxiang, with a majestic appearance, overwhelming the audience, and the arrogant aura of "David's most reckless general"!

Feng Wu was startled and instinctively took half a step back, pretending to be calm and said:

"Why, the sergeants of our battalion worked hard to transport hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass to Dongli, and they didn't even have time to rest for a day or two?"

Zhang Ying sneered:

"I heard that you marched all the way without encountering even half of the horse bandits or half of the Loulan army. Do you know why?"

Feng Wu remained silent.

Zhang Ying took a step forward, his momentum became stronger and he said coldly:

"General Hongwu sent soldiers from my battalion as the first grain transportation team. One of his purposes was to order me to clean up the Gobi and reduce the burden on subsequent grain transportation teams."

"Horse bandits, rebels, and Loulan cavalry, I have cleaned them up for you, but you didn't even catch dozens of rats. You hid them in the grain carts and ruined thousands of stones of army rations. A waste like you,

It’s better to get out of Dongli City as soon as possible!”

Said.

There was a trace of sarcasm on Zhang Ying's lips, "Or do you want me to report this matter to General Hongwu and punish you for your oversight?"

Feng Wu looked stiff and walked away.

…………

The next day, early morning.

The Qingzhou soldiers of Feng Wu's tribe who were causing trouble in Dongli City walked out of the city gate with heavy steps and returned to the camp of the Western Army.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

What happened last night was also commended by Zhang Ying.

All civilians and Qingzhou soldiers who participated in this matter received one or three points of small merit, which can be redeemed at a 50% discount for medicines produced by Qingzhou Zhang's.

Feng Lebin, Ruan Tiehan and Fan Liangshan each received twenty small merits.

Everyone was in a happy mood and became increasingly certain of one thing:

"Follow Jiang Chen and you will have meat to eat every time!"

As for Jiang Chen, the central figure in the rat infestation incident, he also received an extremely special benefit!

Great benefit for scavengers!

…………

morning.

The bright sunlight fell on the military camp and fell on the surface of the central tent, as if it was covered with a golden raincoat.

Zhang Ying sat on the high seat in the front seat, took a sip of medicinal wine, suppressed the pain in his body, and said calmly:

"Do you know where the injuries on my body mainly come from?"

Jiang Chen already knew this, but on the surface, he still shook his head and expressed ignorance.

Zhang Ying turned his head slightly, looked through the tent curtain, stared at the Bu Linghou Mansion more than a hundred meters away, and said:

"The Great Witch Zhu of Dongli City used dark means to turn the Bu Linghou Mansion into a ghost on earth. The gate of ghosts opened, and a large number of ghostly things broke out of the underworld. I also suffered a lot when dealing with one of the ghost generals.

The injury has been difficult to heal to this day.”

Jiang Chen immediately cupped his fists and said:

"What are your orders, Sir Captain?"

Zhang Ying shook his head and said with a smile:

"When the first ray of sunshine falls into the Bu Linghou Mansion tomorrow morning, it will be the time when the ghosts have completely dissipated. Tonight, it will be the moment when the ghosts are at their weakest.

My allowing you to enter the Marquis' Mansion after dark is the most suitable reward for you, a scavenger."

Jiang Chen's heart trembled.

Deep in the sea of ​​consciousness, a line of text suddenly appeared:

[Dongli City: The second and third white-level opportunities, "dust to ashes, soil to soil" are inspiring...]

…………

afternoon.

The sun is getting hotter.

However,

The Bu Linghou Mansion, which is located in the center of Dongli City, still has a somewhat cold atmosphere. Jiang Chen even faintly heard ticking, ticking sounds coming from the mansion, which was like the sound of blood falling...

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust?”

"As the name suggests, are you collecting corpses for something in the Lord Bu Ling's mansion?"

Jiang Chen guessed in his mind and wanted to ask Zhang Ying, but "the greatest charm of the wilderness is the unknown." This is one of the acting rules summed up by the old village chief.

so,
Chapter completed!
