Seeing that Sun Tu brought several state government officials and township soldiers to the warehouse and threatened to carefully check the relevant accounts, although Qi Kun's face showed a look of panic, he had already laughed in his heart. These warriors are simple-minded, not to mention that these state officials are also stakeholders, and they have not benefited from military salaries, money and food, and it is impossible to really check the accounts, even if they do check, with their experience and means of managing the granary for many years, how can a few scribes be able to find out the flaws?

But he still showed an angry look on the surface: "Sun Tuanlian, you are doing this is a great insult to the lower officials and others, although we are not imperial examination officials, but the imperial court still dare not violate the law, how can we do something to embezzle the food and salary of officials and soldiers......"

"But this official found out from the mouths of the township soldiers that you had repeatedly withheld their money and food before, or delayed for several months, and this time there was no money and food for three months, so the township soldiers could only leave the barracks to make a living. As a member of the Honshu regiment, I naturally have to find out about these things. Sun Tu was unmoved, and replied with a straight face.

"It's impossible, Xia Guan remembers it clearly, although we did delay for a few days because the money and food had not yet arrived, but in March, all the money and food were distributed to them, and Xia Guan still has relevant receipts and accounts to testify." Qi Kun was waiting for Sun Tu's statement, and immediately asked people to take out the granary account book for the next half year, and handed it to Sun Tu, asking him to check it himself.

Sun Tu didn't mean to argue with him, and immediately turned his head and said to the expressionless state government scribes: "Since Qi Guan Gou has said so, I will bother you to check the accounts here carefully, I want to know the relevant details of the grain in and out of this official and military granary in the past two years, whether it is from my township soldiers or from the van army." ”

The officials did not dare to disobey him, and all of them agreed in a low voice, and then ordered the miscellaneous servants in the warehouse to take all the relevant account books and check them themselves. Qi Kun didn't mean to stop them at all, so he immediately led them to the warehouse on the side, and asked people to serve them tea, and after a while, there was a crackling sound of abacus inside, at least it seemed that these officials were still checking the accounts very attentively.

But Sun Tu didn't stay there for long, only let a few soldiers transferred from the barracks keep an eye on them, and he took Luda and them to walk around the granary at will, this time Qi Kun didn't pretend to be goodwill, only sent a veteran to follow, and he didn't know what to do.

"Saburo, I really can't imagine what you can do for this. I'm afraid that it will be in vain to come to the granary to check the accounts with such fanfare, since these people dare to fight the idea of military rations, they will definitely clean up their hands and tails, and it is impossible to leave a flaw. Yang Zhi whispered with a puzzled expression.

Then Luda also nodded his head thoughtfully: "Yes, even the Sprinkle family feels that you are in a bit of a hurry this time, those people are all as cunning as loaches, and it is not so clear that you can find out if you want to catch them." ”

"The two brothers' worries are naturally reasonable, and I also understand that it is not a way to just check like this, but this superficial work must be done, otherwise how can they make their hearts weak, so as to expose their flaws?" Sun Tu grinned: "Don't worry, I think in a few days, I will be able to let him spit out all the money and food he embezzled before." As he spoke, he stopped in front of a barn that covered a large area, pointed to the tall granary and asked the veteran behind him, "These are all military rations?" ”

"If you go back to the regiment for training, this is exactly the case, these military rations are enough for my Jiangzhou officers and soldiers to eat until next year, so we will never owe the township soldiers military rations, and please also ask the regiment to practice Mingjian." The veteran was also clever, and immediately helped his boss say good things.

Sun Tu didn't respond much, and only swept his eyes around the other barns with closed doors on the side: "It's really not a problem if all the warehouses are full of grain, but why is it that only this one has an open door, and the other granaries can't be seen?" ”

"This ...... Although the grain needs to be ventilated and stored, we are also afraid of being exposed to the sun, so we will take turns to open the warehouse in the granary to dry the grain, and the other warehouses will not open until the next few days. If the group practice is suspicious, the small one will let people open a position for you to check. ”

"It's not necessary, I believe that with the ability to do the same thing, we can really fill these barns with grain." Sun Tuyu said with a pun, turned his head around and looked around for a while, and then turned around and walked back.

When Sun Tu proposed to leave first, Qi Kun didn't feel a little strange: "It's too early for the group practice?" Then the accounts here ......"

"It will take them at least three or five days to check the accounts of the granary in the past two years, and the duties of this official cannot be delayed here for too long, just wait for them to come back after they have an eyebrow. Anyway, the official doesn't know anything about the number of techniques, so he can't help here. The reason given by Sun Tu was also very sufficient, and he had already taken people away after speaking.

It wasn't until he saw him go out that a sneer appeared on Qi Kun's face: "It turns out that he is just a guy with low eyes, but I am also fully prepared, and he doesn't even have the patience to stay here for a few days." By the way, has he checked the grain in several other warehouses? ”

The veteran hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "If you want to go back to Guan Gou, no, he just asked a few words casually." The little one is only worried about whether he is trying to capture the old man, deliberately let us relax, and then suddenly kill the horse pistol......"

"Hmph, I'm just afraid that he won't come, otherwise my previous preparations will be in vain. And it's safest to keep the food here, so would those people be in a hurry to take it back? Rest assured, I won't take it lightly until it's over. Qi Kun sneered: "Since he refuses to cooperate with us, he must not be able to stay in Jiangzhou for too long, and the difficulties of those township soldiers alone can force him away." ”

It was almost noon when they came out of the military ration warehouse, and Sun Tu and the others had a meal in a small wine shop somewhere, and then rushed back to the barracks, where there were more village soldiers than in the previous two days, and there were also a few well-dressed rich men waiting there, full of worries and questions.

For Sun Tu, if he wants to establish his prestige in the army, he must first let the hundreds of people under his command have a stable life and get the money and food that was owed before. The latter is important, but the former cannot be ignored, so as early as two days ago, he had asked the township soldiers to call some Jiangzhou gentry and landlords who had bought farmland from the township soldiers to the barracks, saying that they had important matters to discuss. That's why he only stayed in the granary for half a day today and came out.

Perhaps because they knew that he was a new official and did not dare to hit the muzzle of the gun, these gentry and landlords did not shirk it, and the eight landlords who bought the fields of the rural soldiers at least sent their housekeepers to come.

Seeing Sun Tu coming, these people cheered up even more, and greeted them with a smile: "Sun Tuanlian is really young and promising, I don't know what I have to say today?" ”

"I don't dare to take orders, I just want to negotiate with you." Sun Tu also looked like he was smiling, invited a few people to the barracks of the Chinese army, and then ordered someone to prepare a bowl of water for each of them, although it was a little simpler, but it was also a heart.

However, these landlords and stewards were not in the mood to drink water, but just looked at Sun Tu nervously, waiting for him to explain his intentions. Sun Tu didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "This official invited you to come today for the sake of the land that my township soldiers sold to you before. But don't worry, they sold the land to you and others out of their own volition, and the government approved it, so I won't object to it. It's just that, in the opinion of this official, these township soldiers lost their fields and after all, it is not good for my Jiangzhou, so I plan to buy all the fields back from you, I don't know what you think? As he spoke, he gave him a look, and Zhu Lin put the vouchers for buying and selling the fields that he had been ordered to collect before on the long case in front of everyone.

Sun Tu's eyes swept over these obviously suspicious landlords, and said with a smile: "I am the most fair person to do things, and I will never let you suffer, these notes are written on the price at which they sold the land to you, and I will buy it back at the original price, are you willing to sell the land back to us?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those landlords and stewards all changed, and two of them immediately shook their heads: "Sun Tuanlian said that he laughed, this business is not like this." It's not impossible for me to sell the land to you again, but the price will have to be negotiated again. There is a saying that at this time and that time, they have to sell their fields to us at a low price because they want money and food to survive, but we have no worries about this, so this price naturally has to change. ”

These words immediately attracted the unanimous approval of others, and even a few people looked at Sun Tu provocatively: "Sun Tuanlian, you are a martial artist, so it is understandable that you don't understand things in trading, so I can't accept your proposal." ”

Luda and Yang Zhi, who were standing behind Sun Tu, frowned, and wanted to scold them for not being presumptuous, but Sun Tu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It is reasonable for you to think so, after all, you were able to buy the land at a price lower than half or more of the market price by taking advantage of the danger of others, and now you are naturally unwilling to vomit out what you have eaten in your stomach." In that case, please go back, as long as you don't regret it when the time comes. ”

Although these people were threatened by Sun Tu, they didn't take it too seriously, after all, the martial artists of the Great Song Dynasty were not worth mentioning at all, and they had a lot of dealings with the government, could they be frightened by a group training?

Watching them leave one after another, the smile on Sun Tu's face was not less, and he looked back at Lu Da, who was a little blue: "The ancients said that they salute first and then soldier, I have done a good job today, right?" Since they won't accept my kindness, don't blame me for the rest of the day! ”
