Chapter 1321 1321: Borrowing food? I''ll give you my personal (Part 1) [Please ask for monthly tickets]
Xun Zhen was beaten by his colleagues, but he was dissatisfied with him.
"...Since we have opened our mouths to borrow food, we, as allies, naturally cannot stand by. But-" He deliberately dispelled the words and deliberately hugged the nerves of his colleagues. "How many mates do we need to transport the food and grass that Quguoguo borrowed? How many troops should we send along the way to take care of it? Several major wars have greatly damaged the treasury, and life is too short to be spent."
Everyone was about to roll their eyes at Xun Zhen.
This stingy person started crying poor again.
But Xun Zhen was not crying for unreasonable reasons, but others cried for poverty with reason and evidence. If you say he is alarmist, he will calculate it one by one for you. How much has been spent here and how much has been spent there, the unit can accurately understand the text! After hearing such a large number of numbers of additions, additions, and subtractions for people who are not good at planning, they even forgot what they want to say. How can they still criticize Xun Zhen for having a back and forth?
People who often marching and fighting know that Wang Ting allocated ten pieces of food and grass, and the soldiers on the front line could only receive two or three of them. Where did the rest go? A large part of it was eaten by the chefs who transported the grain and the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass, and a part was caused by force majeure during transportation, such as the deterioration and decay of grain during wind and rain, which were normal losses during transportation. The longer the grain transport time, the more food consumed on the road, and the less food left to the destination.
It is estimated that considering that Kang Guo was not well-off after just going through a war, Qu Guo borrowed food from them not much.
It would not be so little that Kang Guo thought that Qu Guo was so poor that he had to borrow food and grass, nor would it be so much that Kang Guo could not find it.
but-
Xun Zhen took out a palm-sized brass abacus from his sleeve, and the green beads of the same size looked very bright. He fiddled his fingers skillfully and taught his colleagues a lesson—don’t direct blindly if you can’t settle accounts!
The person who is planning to do so follows Xun Zhen’s steps to mentally arithmetic, and is convinced that his numbers are correct. The person who is too lazy to calculate directly filters the calculation process and other answers. The final answer is that under the most ideal conditions, there is no leak of news, no enemy ambush and interception, the weather is warm and rainy, and it is borrowed to transport it by waterways. Kang Guo also needs to send 14 times the grain and grass to meet this trip to borrow food.
Fourteen times!
Isn’t this the Ministry of Revenue’s life?
If you are a little unlucky on the road, the loss ratio will be greater.
Other court officials said, "Since they are here to borrow food and grass, we just need to prepare and let them send someone to collect it themselves."
How can they bear the loss on the road?
Some people also think that the loss of one party is half: "Why do you want to decide the place to hand over the food and grass first, and the two companies will bear half of the responsibility?"
"The river transport and land transport alternately take a long time and suffer a lot of losses. As long as you see, you can go to sea transport." The ocean is Luo Sha''s comfort zone. The people under him are proficient in water and can be at ease when approaching the deep sea, let alone the offshore areas where the danger is greatly reduced. "Walking on sea transport, the last one can also find some friends to help **** it, and save some for the royal court."
Shen Tang was curious: "Shen Lu''s friend in the world?"
Can these friends in the world attract subtext?
Luo Sha couldn''t understand, but the others could understand, and they all quietly stretched their ears. Then I heard the mermaid general say in a proud tone: "Not a friend in the world, but a friend in the ocean. There will be a group of friends with bow-backed whales, who can help **** them."
That was the person he saved by beating the killer whale, no, whale vein.
As long as you fight a killer whale, you will be the best friend of the bow-backed whale!
Bai Su''s face turned black.
The colleagues'' expressions were extremely wonderful. How can I say that calling for **** from the ocean friends is indeed not an idea that normal people can think of!
What''s even better is that you don''t have to pay for the bow-back whale.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, it is indeed higher than that of the grain transporter.
Xun Zhen''s eyes lit up when he heard this, and his fingers tweaked the abacus beads and made people sweat for the jade abacus beads: "...Get close to the sea? Not bad!"
He calculated again.
If Luo Sha’s suggestion is adopted, 80% of the grain transport route will be on the sea, and 20% will be transferred to land transportation before going to river transportation. The first set of plans is to mainly land transportation and river transportation, accounting for 73. Land transportation requires a large number of livestock with transport vehicles, which is extremely costly.
After changing, the transportation cost can be reduced by more than half!
The biggest feature of near-sea land is its vast land and sparse population. In this way, the risk of leaking information on this grain line can be greatly reduced, and the risk of enemy blocking is also low. Even if it is discovered, you can increase your speed and temporarily avoid the deep sea and bypass the monitoring. The enemy does not have Qin Li''s ability, hides in the vast sea, and cannot tell the difference between the south, south, west and north, and still wants to catch people?
Xun Zhen could hardly suppress the curve of the corner of his mouth.
He held back, maybe his colleagues had better ideas.
The national treasury is under great pressure, so you can save money if you can!
Other officials were almost moved: "It sounds good to go to the sea, but I have heard that not only are there strange beasts in the sea, but there are often strange giants, and the weather is even more unpredictable. Everything goes well, but how can I get out when I encounter a sea beast attack?"
The vast sea, there is no village in front and no shop behind.
If you encounter a shipwreck, you may not have the chance of survival.
They have almost no experience in dealing with the ocean, and they go to sea without any preparation, and place their hopes on the sunny and sunny sea, which is too risky! Even Luo Sha cannot escape from the crisis-ridden ocean, let alone the grain ship?
Luo Sha was speechless for a moment: "This..."
The tribe members also spent a lot of energy to barely adapt to the isolated island and the harsh sea, and others obviously couldn''t do it.
Someone sighed helplessly.
Going inland is too expensive.
Walking outside the sea, there are many unknown risks.
Rejecting Quguo, Kang Guo missed development opportunities.
For a time, many people also felt it was difficult.
The biggest problem is the national treasury. If the national treasury is abundant, everything can be solved easily, but Xun Zhen, this Pixiu, is reluctant to let go. Everyone also knew that Xun Zhen was not intentionally stuck, which only proved that the treasury was really too embarrassing.
In times of crisis, Shen Tang gritted his teeth: "I have a way, spending at most a hundred taels is a bit risky."
The ministers looked at each other and said, "Hundred and ten taels?"
The grain and grass borrowed by Qu Guo is not something that can be bought by a few hundred taels.
How could it be done with just one hundred taels?
More risky?
What a risk?
Could it be that who will be attacked again?
Everyone racked their brains and couldn''t think of any way to accomplish this at a cost of nearly zero - compared with that batch of food and grass, hundreds of taels are indeed not the same as that. To put it bluntly, the cats in Qi Zhongshu''s family cost more than that in a year.
Shen Tang said: "Hundreds of ten taels are travel subsidies."
Everyone was even more confused.
Only Gu Chi saw the answer one step ahead: "The Lord means that since the cost of delivering grain was too high, it would be better to send the person who produced the grain. Whether it was borrowing Zhai Le''s land or who borrowed the land, he should be able to pay enough food and grass within the time limit."
Grow it now and harvest it now, and the food and grass are fresh.
The biggest risk is that the person sent to the house may be detained by Zhai Le. As the king of the country, Zhai Le may not be unable to do such a thing.
The surrendered Southwest minister: "???"
One by one, they were shocked to the frequent earthquakes of their pupils.
I know every word, why don’t you understand it if you combine it?
Before they could completely turn the corner from the way Dingding was going on, they first witnessed Kang Guo''s rich martial ethics and martial arts. They could only admit that they were unlucky when they were accidentally injured by someone who was hit by an elbow. Then they heard such magical speeches. No, Quguo is borrowing grain, and it is short of food, not people who are short of food! What''s the use of sending farmers over? Can Quguo patiently wait for spring plowing to autumn harvest? There were too many complaints, and I didn’t know where to start vomiting for a while.
The old minister Kang Guo’s complaint is his travel expenses.
"… Hundreds and tens of taels are too little..." Xun Zhen, the most stingy person, couldn''t help but stand up and say a conscience. Kang Guo and Qu Guo were more than a thousand miles apart, and there were not only one person sent there. He actually paid a hundred and tens of taels for travel expenses, and only one tael per person?
Have you eaten steamed buns and water along the way?
Shen Tang looked for a supplement: "Only one hundred taels per capita, the rest are calculated separately."
Xun Zhen then calmed down: "That''s OK."
This budget can at least be free to eat meat.
Shen Tang’s proposal is obviously the lowest cost.
Qu Kingdom wants as much grain as the people sent out to plant them. There is no intermediate loss in direct sales of the manufacturer, so you can give as much as you should. The land of Qu Country and the fertility of Qu Country are used.
If you don’t have enough fertility, you can still use the country’s destiny.
This method applies the word stinginess to the limit!
When Chu Yao heard this, he was basically sure that this task would fall on his own students. As a teacher, he was most worried about Lin Feng’s safety. In order to prevent Qu Guo from detaining people afterwards and obstructing Lin Feng from returning to China, the strength of accompanying guards should not be weak. The individual combat strength must be in line with Gong Xiqiu and others. On the safe side, it must be two people, and then bring a small group of elite warriors to support and assist.
Protecting Lin Feng and others can also shock Quguo.
The ministers were furiously moved by this proposal.
But no one dared to speak first.
Which top-notch military general is better offense?
Which general is willing to miss the golden time to consolidate his prestige in the army and take on this chore with less money and more things? There are only a few military generals in Kangguo, and anyone who chooses will offend others. General Chu Jie has been in charge of the country all year round. Wei Shou, Qian Yong and a few old foxes will definitely use their lack of strength to shirk. Yun Ce is easy to talk to, but they have no friendship with him... In terms of the foundation of the army, Gong Xiqiu and Luo Sha are considered "soft persimmons". Who dares to squeeze them?
Everyone exchanged their eyes, and no one dared.
Dingding will fall into unprecedented silence.
They didn''t mention it, but Shen Tang could only say, "The guard matter was handed over to Fengen and Shenlu. What do the two generals think?"
Luo Sha was not so concise and didn''t understand very well. Gong Xiqiu was a little concise, but he didn''t bother with Mama, so he naturally had no objection.
"You two will pick fifty elites to accompany you."
These elite soldiers are all brave warriors selected from the best of the wars of hundreds of battles. Although there are only a hundred people in total, they can break through even when they fight in battles of tens of thousands of soldiers. With the assistance of Lin Feng and other scholars, Qu Guo could escape even if he was greedy.
Seeing Luo Sha and the other ministers still felt a little dazed when they saw that they were so easy to talk to?
After thinking about it, I can only boil down to one sentence—
Spot the tofu in the brine, and one thing is reduced to another.
Lin Feng started preparing when he received the order.
In fact, it’s okay if she doesn’t go this time. After years of research, Kang Guo has found a general set of farming spirits and is targeted to cultivate literati talents in this field. For some reason, only a few female scribes can succeed in the true spiritual transformation, which also limits the generation and optimization of grain species. Those words that affect the heavenly time are not limited to men and women.
In just half a day, Lin Feng presented a list.
The amount of food and grass required by Qu Country is huge, and she needs help.
Shen Tang glanced and put her aside. She was always very relieved about Lin Feng''s ability: "It''s good to decide this matter. I also know that this job is very hard. In addition to the rewards on the money, there will be other rewards when you come back, and you will be rewarded at the end of the year."
I can’t give much money, but I want anything else?
Shen Tang was very generous.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "I thanked the Lord for my colleagues first."
Shen Tang looked at her with relief: "What are you grateful for? You will be safe and return smoothly. This is the most important thing. Quguo is now in conflict with the central region, and the internal society of the Gods Society is also trying to mess with him. I don''t know if he will meet your second brother."
When you meet Lin Su, you will naturally meet other Lin clan members.
For example, Brother Lin Feng and his father.
In addition to this matter, Shen Tang had something to tell her.
"You have to bring another person on this trip."
“Please give me instructions.”
“It’s Mengyuan.”
Tan Wei took advantage of this trip to go back to the central part to prepare.
Lin Feng nodded and wrote down.
Shen Tang told Lin Feng to find her teacher Chu Yao. The students went on a long trip, and Chu Yao was no less worried than Shen Tang.
Lin Feng laughed: "Master, I am not young anymore."
Just going out for a business, why worry so much?
Chu Yao and Shen Tang expressed the same emotion: "Where is not young? In the eyes of the teacher, Ling De will always be a child."
Even though I know that she can carry the storm, I still can''t help but worry.
There is also a risk of being detained on this trip, so you should not be careless.
Chu Yao gave me every detail and ordered people to take Lin Feng''s sword for maintenance and polishing, and cooked a pot of three fresh noodles for her in person. There are many strange animals that have been eaten and exterminated locally, but there are also fish that have missed the net. For example, the river shrimp in the bowl, one shrimp feet are as thick as a baby''s calves, the shrimp meat is firm and elastic, and the taste is a bit sweet. Remove the slightly weird shrimp head, remove the shrimp thread, and cook it in soup. The taste is better than any seasoning.
Several baskets can be salvaged every day in the past few days.
Lin Feng dries three bowls that are bigger than his face in one breath.
"Why are there such a fat river shrimp this season?" It''s much better than the northwest, without any rustic smell. I dare not think about how delicious spring and summer will be. I feel a little moved just by thinking about it.
"Fishers say this is the case with this kind of shrimp. Their habits are completely opposite to normal river shrimp. Autumn and winter are the time when their meat is the fullest." Chu Yao didn''t mention that the fishermen also said that this year''s river shrimp production is particularly large and large, and each one seems to have overnutrition. When the fishermen were worried that it was the river shrimp that harmed other aquatic products, Chu Yao silently thought of another possibility.
Maybe—
Is it because there are many corpses thrown in the water this year?
Not to mention it, it affects your appetite.
In order to relieve Lin Feng''s homesickness, Chu Yao asked her to bring two boxes of dried shrimps he made by himself, which had sweet and sour mouths. Before Lin Fengren walked out of the land for more than ten miles, several kilograms of dried shrimp had been removed, and there were no three meals left to make soup to improve the food.

Shrimp, you can eat it if you remove the head.
Lin Feng and the others were sent to minimize their own losses. Tang Mei''s power has developed to the present, but the secret of farming can no longer be preserved, but it is difficult for outsiders to imitate it. Kang Guo has not trained many talents in this field for many years.
