Entering the granary, Dong Ce couldn't help but be shocked by all this in front of him.

It is said to be a granary, but it is not just a warehouse, but a warehouse area. The whole grain depot area is in the shape of a 'well', and two horizontal and two vertical roads divide this area into nine smaller areas. In front of this warehouse area is a sizable open space, apparently used to dry grain. When they came, there were still quite a few Kudin who were carrying out large grain bales one by one, spreading reed mats on the ground, and then pouring out the grain from the grain bales and spreading them out on the reed mats to dry.

The roads are all dirt roads, and at first glance they are only slightly groomed, but they are very wide, and the purpose of this is to prevent the fire from spreading quickly in the event of a fire. Food is actually very easy to start a fire, and with a road wide enough, it is impossible to isolate the fire in a small area. And there are quite a few large vats on the side of the road. Ji Changfeng asked people to open the lid every time he walked by and went to see if it was full of water.

He apparently took this incidental as an inspection.

However, Dong Ce is also happy to be like this, at least he owes less favors.

Ji Changfeng asked the people below to open a warehouse, this warehouse named 'A' is built of big bluestone, tall and sturdy, two zhang high, three zhang square. The foundation and edges of the bluestone have been blackened, and it is not known how many years it has been there. Entering the warehouse, to Dong Ce's surprise, there was no moldy and dark smell unique to the warehouse, but it was no different from the outside. He looked at the ground, it was covered with green bricks, and he touched it with his hand, and it was quite dry.

It seems that the management of this warehouse is really good, the grain in it must be often taken out to dry, by the way, you can also clean the warehouse, open the door to ventilate and clean, dry and dehumidify, so as not to mold and rot.

The storeroom was full of large grain bales, piled up from the ground to the roof, and I don't know how many there were. Dong Ce secretly estimated that there were almost 2,000 stone of grain in this warehouse, so calculated, the grain in these warehouses would exceed 15,000 stone!

That's a staggering number.

Ji Changfeng pointed with his hand and asked people to carry a grain bag casually, then opened the grain bag and poured out some rice from it.

It is all white rice and the color is quite good. Ji Changfeng didn't just forget it, but checked it himself, and reached to the bottom of the grain bag to grab a handful, seeing that there was no need for much sundries inside, this was the satisfied clapping of his hands, and smiled at the ambassador of the warehouse: "Lao Chen, the errand is doing well." ”

That Lao Chen hurriedly had, and said with a smile: "It's your wisdom, my lord, don't we dare to care?" ”

Ji Changfeng smiled: "I'm afraid you are scolding me in your heart, right?" ”

Lao Chen's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "There is no such thing, there is no such thing." ”

"Haha, just talk about it casually......" Ji Changfeng secretly nodded at this old Chen, just stopped talking, smiled faintly, pointed to those grain bags and said: "Hanchen's four hundred and fifty stone grain, let's take it from the No. A warehouse." ”

"Yes." That old Chen hurriedly responded.

Four hundred and fifty stone of grain is thousands of catties, and it takes almost ten carts to fill it. Relying on Dong Ce, these people can't be taken away at all, generally speaking, the generals who come to lead the army pay come directly with a cart that pulls grain, but Dong Ce neglected this section this time. However, with Ji Changfeng here, these are naturally not problems, and he dispatched more than ten carts to come over and lean against the door of the granary on the spot.

Ambassador Cang Mou was full of energy to show himself in front of Shangguan, and shouted to Kuding under his hand to hurry up the work, and in a short time, the four hundred and fifty stone of grain was carried onto the cart.

Next, Dong Ce is going to the arsenal, and Ji Changfeng will naturally work in his own office.

"Brother Damin, thank you this time."

Dong Ce smiled and arched his hand, handed over a silver ingot, and said in a low voice: "It's a small meaning, it's not a tribute." ”

Ji Changfeng didn't answer, frowned and said, "Hanchen, what are you doing?" Dane will take care of you more at your place, and I will help you with this, and it is also my duty, so I do this, but I am out of sight! ”

Last time, Ji Changfeng sent a clerk to Dong Ce and asked him to help Dong Ce deal with Zhao Mancang, Dong Ce secretly handed Ji Changfeng a silver ingot as a thank you gift, Ji Changfeng accepted it calmly, and also praised Dong Ce for being a man and being knowledgeable. But at that time, although the relationship between the two was not so rusty because of Ji Changyun, it was not so close. And Dong Ce did that in order to maintain a good relationship with Ji Changfeng, so it was a matter of course. But now, the relationship between the two can be regarded as a step further, and because Ji Changyun is working under Dong Ce, and Dong Ce is more and more valued by Liu Ruozai, the two are closer to each other, and if Ji Changfeng wants this silver, it will inevitably seem a little greedy.

Dong Ce said with a smile: "This silver is not for Brother Damin, these people under Brother Tai are so busy, I am a little grateful, but if I give it to them directly, it will inevitably lose Brother Damin's face." ”

Dong Ce said this, Ji Changfeng couldn't help it, so he had to accept it, and said with a smile: "Hanchen, ...... you?"

Although Dong Ce said that, Ji Changfeng naturally wouldn't take it seriously, Dong Ce just said that.

Bidding farewell to Ji Changfeng, Dong Ce led people straight to the arsenal.

With the experience of the last time, this time the car was familiar with the road to the arsenal, and after the soldiers at the door went in to report, they led Dong Ce and his party into the official room in front of the arsenal.

"Yes, Master Dong is here, what a rare guest! Rare guests! ”

It's been a while, Zhao Mancang seems to be fatter, whiter, his face is bigger again, his double chin is almost three chins, and he looks rich and tight, like a Maitreya Buddha. He is wearing a light cyan shirt and cotton clothes today, this dress is wide and tight, it should be specially customized to fatten and increase the size, but it is not tight, but it is like a hemp bag on him, which makes people want to laugh when they look at it.

He was sitting on the wide Taishi chair and drinking tea, and when he saw Dong Ce, he stood up and said hello with a smile.

It's just that with his size, even the action of standing up is a little difficult, the fat body is trembling, and his hands are pressed on the armrests of the chair, and the chair creaks. Dong Ce glanced at the chair and drank, it was not the original one, it should have been re-ordered, and it was two or three times more than the surrounding chairs. Otherwise, with Zhao Mancang's body type, if he stood up, the chair would be stuck on him and brought it up directly.

"Lord Zhao is polite, hehe, I'm going to bother again, I'm really a little embarrassed." Dong Ce smiled and returned the salute.

He was a little surprised in his heart, this time Zhao Mancang's attitude seemed to be much more earnest and kinder than the last time he came, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason. These days, he often goes in and out of the military preparation department, and everyone in this town and river fort should also know that he is a celebrity in front of Liu Ruozai, and it is not surprising that Zhao Mancang has this attitude.

The sedan chair carries people, although Dong Ce doesn't like him in his heart, but he still needs him, people give him face, and he naturally can't be arrogant.

The two exchanged two words, then sat down separately and served tea.

After saying a few words about the unnutritious scene, Dong Ce looked at the subordinate who was serving with his hands down, Zhao Mancang understood, waved his hand, and said to the man: "You go down first, you don't need to wait here." ”

"Yes." The man answered, and retreated without mentioning it.

Dong Ce took a sip of tea, leaned forward, put Liu Ruozai's handpiece on the table and pushed it over, and said with a smile: "I'm really a villain, every time I come over, I always have to take out something from Lord Zhao." ”

"Hey, Lord Dong is joking, this is a matter of the lower officials." Zhao Mancang had a smile on his fat face, but after glancing at the handpiece, the smile was a little reluctant and unnatural, obviously because Dong Ce didn't mean to give benefits.

Dong Ce sneered in his heart, but the smile on his face was still the same, he reached into his arms, took out a money bag and put it on the table and pushed it over, and said with a smile: "I can't hide it, this time the official came over, there are still some difficulties, and Lord Zhao must be accommodating." ”

The mouth of this money bag was open, and Zhao Mancang glanced inside, and suddenly felt trembling in his heart.

The white flowers in it are all five taels of silver ingots, and I am afraid that there will be as many as ten or twenty, that is to say, this bag of silver, I am afraid that it is more than a hundred taels!

More than a hundred taels of silver!

This is equivalent to three years of his income, enough for his family to spend a whole year! Although Zhao Mancang has seen some money since he became the ambassador of this warehouse, and he has also done a lot of fake public and private things, and he has made a lot of money, but it is the first time he has seen so much silver!

His pattern insight is a little smaller after all.

Dong Ce clearly heard it, Zhao Mancang's breathing immediately became heavy, his eyes stared directly at the silver, and he couldn't take it back.

Dong Ce smiled slightly, this is what he wants.

Zhao Mancang was staring at the silver in a daze, and suddenly a hand appeared in his sight, blocking the silver. Zhao Mancang looked up along the hand, and saw Dong Ce looking at himself with a smile, he came back to his senses, touched his nose in disguise, and laughed at himself: "Hey, I'm so virtuous, when I saw that Qian was open, I almost got in." ”

Dong Ce smiled, although this guy is hateful, but he is frank and straightforward. In this way, he prefers that today's matter must be done directly, and if it is concealed, it will be a bad thing. Dong Ce looked at Zhao Mancang and said with a smile: "Black eyes can't see white flowers and silver, yellow and white things, who can not love them?" It's just that whether you can get this silver or not is your own ability, and others can't envy it. It's like you, Lord Zhao, guarding this arsenal, this is the way to make money, and others can't envy it. ”
