(Today, Monday, the swordsman is here to ask for a recommended ticket, everyone supports it, and asks for a monthly pass)

Seeing that the drama county was in sight, Mi Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The distance from Xiapi to Beihai is about 900 miles, and if you are fast, you can take a one-way trip in only three or four days.

However, it was not so easy to transport money and grain, and the grain team led by Mi Zhu left the north gate of Xiapi on May 23, all the way to the north, and could only walk about forty or fifty miles a day.

300,000 stone of grain, which is converted to 360,000 catties in the era before Liu Wei's crossing, is 18,000 tons when converted into tonnage. If it is transported by heavy trucks, it will take 360 vehicles to fully fit according to the calculation of 50 tons per truck.

Mizhu's grain team all uses three-horse carts, and the weight of each horse is about two tons, which means that a horse-drawn cart can pull about six tons of grain. Just 300,000 stone of grain, nearly 10,000 horses and more than 3,000 carriages were used.

The five baht coins raised by Mi Zhu are all standard copper coins, which are equivalent to the era before Liu Bian's crossing, a coin weighs about 5 grams, and the weight of 10,000 coins is 100 catties. 200,000 yuan a ton, a carriage can pull about 1.2 million yuan, and after removing the weight of the box, a troika can actually carry about 600,000 copper coins.

In this way, twenty-five million copper coins were loaded into forty or fifty carriages. Of course, compared to more than 3,000 grain trucks. The number of these coin trucks is not worth mentioning.

Such a large convoy walked on a bumpy road, and the speed was naturally slow. Forty or fifty miles a day is already the limit. In addition, it is necessary to take shelter from the rain, in case the food is drenched in the rain. Then it will be moldy and rotten, and Mizhu will never allow this kind of thing to happen!

The team walked and stopped and stopped along the way, and it took nearly a month to come from Xiapi to Xi County.

From Xiapi to Beihai, along the way through the East China Sea, Langya, Juxian, Zhuxian and other places, although the whole line is controlled by Tao Qian's forces and Liu Wei's forces, but there are more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans in Peiguo, which is adjacent to the East China Sea, and the Yan Liang army entrenched in Taishan County may also be attacked by light cavalry. Mi Zhu naturally has to be very careful.

Not for anything else, just because there are 200,000 stone grains in this batch of money and grain, and 15 million yuan is Mi Zhu's own.

This is by no means a small amount, close to half of Xuzhou's annual financial revenue, even if Mi Zhu is as wealthy, he does not dare to be careless. In case the money and grain are robbed, Tao Qian will not return a copper coin to the Mi family, not to mention a grain of grain, his image in Liu Wei's mind will inevitably plummet!

Therefore. Mi Zhu dispatched 5,000 private guests to escort the team, and Tao Qian did not dare to be careless, after all, this batch of grain was safely transported to Beihai in exchange for Langya, which has a vast area, and Zhang Min was also dispatched. Led 4,000 elite soldiers to escort along the way. Coupled with nearly 10,000 coachmen and people, the journey can be described as mighty.

"Lord Mi, since you have arrived in Drama County. I'll turn around and go back! ”

Seeing that the city of drama was in sight, Zhang Min, who was red all the way, brought a few henchmen to resign.

Zhang Min used to be a Yellow Turban rebel in his early years. Therefore, I was particularly afraid of the court officials, and I heard that the Son of Heaven had personally come out to greet him. I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Mi Zhu thanked him: "It's okay, at present, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban has occupied the entire territory of Peiguo, and is currently active at the border of Pengcheng." Tao Yuanjun is in urgent need of troops, so General Zhang will lead his troops back, there is a lot of work along the way! When I return to Xiapi, I will be grateful! ”

"Mi-sama is polite!"

Zhang Min said goodbye and led 4,000 Xuzhou soldiers to return the same way.

While riding his horse and walking slowly, he said to his henchmen on the left and right: "If we had so much grain and coins when we rebelled back then, now we can mix into a prince, this Mi family is really rich and rivals the country!" ”

"yes, yes...... When we followed the great sage and good teacher, we couldn't even fill our stomachs, let alone military salaries, how could we have seen so much food and coins? "One of the henchmen on the left also suffers from pink eye.

A henchman on the right also echoed stupidly: "If it weren't for the fact that there are so many customers of the Mi family, Lao Tzu really wants to rob this money and grain, take the brothers to find a big mountain to hide, eat and drink spicy food, at least ten years and eight years without worrying!" ”

After listening to the discussion of the left and right henchmen, Zhang Min's face was like frost, and he urged the horse forward without saying a word, and no one could guess what he was thinking at the moment. The generals led the team to the southwest, gradually moving away.

Seeing such a vast grain truck appear under the city of Xixian County, hundreds of thousands of homeless refugees cheered one after another, and the cries of "Long live the Son of Heaven" rose and fell in the wilderness, like a tsunami in the mountains, and the thin and dry faces showed a long-lost smile.

Before coming to Xi County, the refugees' food was provided by the escort team: two meals a day, a bowl of corn for each meal, a nest head, and drinking water scooped from the rivers and mountain springs on the roadside.

It's not that the escort soldiers withhold their food, it's really difficult to supply, and the soldiers are just barely enough to eat every day, so naturally there is no condition for the people to eat openly.

But for these homeless refugees, the food conditions are enough to make them happy, because when they used to travel with the Yellow Turbans, they could only eat one meal a day, and even when they were fighting, they could not eat a single meal.

And when it came time to fight, the Yellow Turbans were strong and strong, regardless of whether they were well fed or not, and always drove them to the front as cannon fodder in every battle. After a long time, the people realized that although the court was hateful, these rebellious Yellow Turban rebels were even more hateful and damned! It's a pity that they are powerless to resist, they can only be slaughtered by others, and life and death are up to heaven!

This kind of diet is occasionally okay for a day or two, but after a long time, they can't eat like this every day, and the physical condition of hundreds of thousands of refugees is not good. Those with a slightly better physique can still persevere, but those with a slightly worse physique are infected with the wind chill and fall on the side of the road, basically unable to get up.

Long-term hunger down. Every day, large numbers of people are starved to death or die of disease, and desperately hungry people begin to dig up grass roots, grow tree bark, and pick leaves to feed themselves. Everywhere you go. The green wilderness turned yellow, and the trees were stripped of miserable. The branches and leaves withered, like the end of the world.

This qiē has changed since coming to Xixian County!

Although there was a shortage of food in the city, Liu Wei still treated the refugees with an attitude of loving the people like children, and ordered that three meals be distributed to the victims every day according to the capitation, and each meal included pickles, seasonal vegetables, and even shredded meat.

This made the people outside the city all burst into tears, and the taste of eating every day was endless, and the words that floated the most in the sky were "Your Majesty is merciful, long live my emperor." The great Han rivers and mountains are eternal for thousands of years".

The bodies of these refugees were already in a state of overdraft, so Wang Meng did not arrange any fortifications for them for the time being, and tried to provide tents for them to recuperate in the wilderness, waiting for Mi Zhu's food to arrive, and then make the next step!

And now, the money and food that hundreds of thousands of people have been waiting for have finally been delivered to the city, which means that the vast majority of people can live better. How can we not let these suffering victims cheer and roar with joy!

Watching one grain truck after another be transported into the city of Xixian County, the bare-backed people sweated profusely carrying bags of grain into the granary and piling them up. Soon. The granaries that I saw were about to bottom out suddenly filled up, until at last they were piled up, and the granaries became full of grain.

"Mr. Zizhong is very gracious. I and hundreds of thousands of refugees remember it from the bottom of my heart! Liu Wei was happy and thanked Mi Zhu for his work.

Mi Zhu hurriedly bowed to the ground and returned the salute: "This is a matter for the courtiers." How dare you be a great gift, wouldn't you break the villain! ”

Tao Qian's borrowing of grain from Mi Zhu and Chen Qi has long been rumored in Xuzhou. Liu Wei also obtained information from the scouts. But the shortage of grain is related to the stability of the army and the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, even if this batch of grain was squeezed by Tao Qian from Mi Zhu, Liu Wei could only accept it.

"Mr. Zizhong, don't worry, most of this batch of grain is yours, as long as the situation in Qingzhou improves, I will definitely return it!" Liu Wei comforted Mi Zhu with a sincere face.

Mi Zhu stroked his beard and smiled: "Hehe...... His Majesty is serious, it's just money and food, why worry about it? Besides, Tao Qian borrowed it from Zhu, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty! If Tao Qian doesn't pay me back, I can just send a guest to the fields on the outskirts of Xiapi to collect taxes, and it will only take a year and a half to recover it! ”

After a pause, Mi Zhu said with a sad face: "It's just that last time, the villain lost his words after drinking and talked about the marriage of his sister, so that the rumors spread in Xuzhou." One by one, they told His Majesty that he wanted Nashe Mei to enter the palace, so that no one dared to come to the door to propose marriage, this matter is tricky......"

Mi Zhu's words have already come to this, and Liu Wei knows that he can't shirk anymore.

If it weren't for his great help, Liu Wei would have either given up hundreds of thousands of people, or he would have given up the Qingzhou territory, and his previous efforts would have been wasted.

It was Mi Zhu's timely mediation and financing that allowed Liu Wei to come out of the predicament, people only have such a small request, if they don't agree again, it really can't be said!

What's more, Mrs. Mi recorded in the history books is white-skinned and beautiful, and she is loyal, although she is not as famous as Diao Chan and Er Qiao, but she is also a leading woman in this era. Since Mi Zhu wants to send him into his bed, if he pushes back again, what kind of emperor is he? Isn't it just to take a concubine, why worry too much, if you don't have this kind of energy, how can you talk about dominating the world?

Thinking of this, Liu Wei suddenly understood his concerns.

What I am worried about in my heart is that there will be some angry young people scolding their own breeds/horses and the like, but think about it carefully, I have been in this world for two years, and I am also an emperor who has been a man of his word, and there are only three or four women who have been involved in it.

"Cut! What do you think? If you were to take my place, maybe you would have been married and concubined, and the king would never have been in court sooner! I don't believe it, who would dare to say that he would insist on monogamy, or even live an ascetic life? It's just a mouthpiece! If you don't touch a woman, it doesn't mean that you are virtuous, it's just that you have a problem with sexual performance! Of course, it is not ruled out that there is a problem with sexual orientation! ”

After making up his mind, Liu Wei solemnly promised Mi Zhu: "Mr. Zizhong's name of benevolence and righteousness has spread all over Xuzhou, which shows that Ling Mei must be a kind-hearted woman." Now that the rumors have risen, how can I prevaricate again? When he turned around, he asked Wang Tingshi to prepare a six-book dowry and sent a minister to Xuzhou to send it down! ”

"This matter is entrusted to the minister, and Mi Zizhong's gift will be regarded as a dowry!" Wang Meng was joking beside him, easing the atmosphere.

When Mi Zhu heard this, he immediately smiled. can get the promise of the Son of Heaven, these 200,000 stone grains, 15 million copper coins are worth it even if they can't be recovered!

He slammed to the ground again: "Oops...... If so, it is really the luck of the three lives of the sister! The villain is here on behalf of the whole Mi clan to thank the Holy Grace Hammer, and the Mi clan is willing to do its best to help His Majesty sweep Xuzhou and set the world! ”

The monarch said that he was happy, and Liu Wei ordered to buy a wine banquet in the Assassin's Mansion to entertain Mi Zhu, and once again invited the heavyweight civil and military forces around the county to accompany him. This time it was not only Wang Meng, Xu Shu and other civil officials who went to the banquet, but also Wei Yan, Lu Wenlong, Gao Lan, Wen Yang, Wei Jiang, and Hua Rong, who had already improved his injuries, all came out of the ranks, which was considered to have given Uncle Mi Guo enough face.
