The Ming Dynasty had three watches of time and space

Today's weather is not very good, the moon is faint and faint, the light outside is very dim, and from time to time there are strong winds and dust flying over the roof.

Despite the bad weather, the Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households are brightly lit at the moment.

Li Zheng, who is already thirty years old this year, has a Chinese character face, and he looks dignified, according to the unspoken rules of Ming Dynasty officialdom, this kind of appearance can be reused.

Seeing this, readers, don't laugh, this is an era of judging people by their appearance, and the same is true of officialdom, even if you are not good-looking or have a disability, no matter how good your knowledge is, no matter how capable you are, it can't be reused.

At this moment, Lizheng was sitting behind the bookcase, and in front of him were more than a dozen people, including officers in armor and civilian officials in green robes.

"Your Excellency, after three days of emergency deployment, the lower officials have raised 3,000 stones of grain and grass, 150,000 catties of forage, and 200,000 catties of gunpowder."

Hearing this, Li Zheng's face showed a look of displeasure, and his voice was much more severe: "Too little is too little, this little material is only enough for the army for half a month, if the army only sets off with such a little thing, I'm afraid that you will have to go hungry halfway through, how do you let the soldiers fight?" Li experience, no matter what method you use, before noon tomorrow, you must raise enough grain and grass for the army for a month, otherwise don't blame the official for being unsympathetic! ”

Li Geqiang endured the displeasure in his heart: "Commander, there are not so many materials in our warehouse at all, but these things are still put together by the lower officials in the past few days, and there is really no extra food." ”

"If you can't gather food and grass, do you have any reason?" Li Zheng couldn't help but slapped his right hand on the bookcase and said sharply: "As Jiang Ningwei, you have experience, and it is your duty to raise food and grass, but now you tell the official that you can't do it, what is the use of the official asking you?" ”

Li Ge is also a tempered master, and he was repeatedly scolded by Li Zheng, and couldn't help but raise his voice and said loudly: "Commander, although the subordinate officials have experience, they also know the truth of the matter of eating the king's Lu and being loyal to the king." Xia Guan asked himself that since he took up the experience of Jiang Ningwei, although he didn't dare to say that he forgot to sleep and eat, he also asked himself to do his best, but now that there is no food, there is no food, and Xia Guan can't conjure food out of thin air. If you think that the subordinate officer cannot take up the post of Jiang Ningjun's experience, then remove the subordinate official. ”

"Standing ......"

Li Zheng said slowly: "If it were on weekdays, this official naturally would not have the right to withdraw your experience, but now the army is about to be pulled, we are an army here, and this official can cut off your head according to military regulations!" ”

Li Ge laughed: "Of course the commander dares, Li Ge's good head is here, and the commander wants to take it away, but I don't know how the commander will explain to his old man after the grandfather of the country returns?" ”

"You are so bold, you disobey the orders of this official, which caused the army to be unable to march on time, and now you are still here to make a lot of nonsense, do you think that this official really does not dare to kill you?"

This time, Li Ge didn't speak, just stood in place and looked at him with a sneer, the meaning was obvious, if you wanted to kill, just do it.

Li Zheng stared at him deadly, his face cloudy.

As Jiang Ningwei's commander of the third grade, of course, he could kill Li Ge, the sixth rank of the army, on the grounds of violating the military order, but Li Ge also said it just now. It was easy to kill him, but when Yang Feng came back tomorrow, he would have to ask about this matter, and what reason would he use to answer at that time?

You must know that although Li Ge's official position is not high, he is in charge of Jiang Ningwei's money and grain dispatch, and killing such a person must not be overpowered, if Yang Feng is suspicious and orders a thorough investigation of this matter...... Thinking of this consequence, Li Zheng couldn't help but shudder.

There is a saying in later generations that if you want to cover up a lie, you need to cover it up with more lies, but the more lies, the easier it is to be exposed, not to mention that Yang Feng is not a master who is easy to fool, once he knows what he has done in the past two years......

Thinking of this, Li Zheng shuddered.

When Li Zheng looked at Li Ge again, the original trace of killing intent had long since dissipated, and was replaced by a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Li experience, this official is just joking with you, everyone is a robe, and they should share weal and sorrow, how can they kill people for no reason." ”

Li Ge sneered in his heart, but his face was still solemn, and he saw him bow his hand slightly towards Lizheng: "Thank you for the commander's understanding, and the lower officials are grateful." ”

"That's it." Li Zheng waved his hand, "This official still has one more thing to ask, the day before yesterday, Song Qianhu brought the official document of the Ministry of War and the edict of the grandfather of the country, saying that the imperial court has a military salary of 300,000 taels of silver to be transferred, I don't know if it has arrived?" ”

Li Ge nodded: "Lord Qiqi, this silver has arrived." ”

"Arrived?" Li Zheng's eyebrows jumped, and then he asked, "Why didn't you report to this official?" ”

"Your Excellency." Li Ge bowed down and said with a wry smile: "Today, the lower officials are already busy raising grain and grass, where can they care about such a trivial matter to report to you." ”

"Do you call 300,000 taels of silver a trivial matter?"

Li Zheng was about to jump up and scold his mother, but he also knew that now was not the time to have an attack, so he took a deep breath before he said: "Okay, since 300,000 taels of silver have been delivered, then you can immediately bring people into Jinling City to find those grain merchants to buy grain overnight, no matter what method you use, you must buy another 3,000 stone of grain and 200,000 catties of horse feed before noon tomorrow, can you do it?" ”

"Three thousand stone of grain, and 200,000 catties of horse feed?"

Li Ge's brows furrowed deeply, if it were normal, 3,000 stone of grain and 200,000 catties of horse material would be nothing more than a trivial matter for Jinling, a large city with a population of nearly one million, but Li Zheng asked him to buy it overnight and transport it back to Jiangdongmen Qianhu before noon tomorrow.

Those grain merchants are all well-informed, Jiang Ningjun's actions in the past few days must have been seen by them, at this time, when they come to buy grain, aren't they sent to the door to be slaughtered?

Seeing Li Ge's hesitation, Li Zheng's eyes became fierce again: "What...... Can't you do it? ”

Li Ge turned his heart sideways, "Lord Commander, those grain merchants are all a group of people who can't afford to make money early, let's go to buy grain overnight at this time, even fools know that our army is short of food, those people are bound to sit on the ground and raise prices, and now buying grain is really worth the loss." ”

A strong killing intent rose up in Li Zheng's body, only to see him stand up and hold the hilt of the knife at his waist, staring at Li Ge deadly: "Whether the gains outweigh the losses is also the official's business, and now the official is asking you, can you do it?" ”

Looking at Li Zheng's undisguised killing intent, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Li Ge's forehead, he knew that Li Zheng was really in a hurry, if he refused again, this guy would really kill.

"Oh...... What can you do? Just then, a voice sounded in the doorway.
