Chapter 69 Grain Crisis
Su Miaoge has a mysterious origin, and when he comes into contact with Yang Jian and others, he always keeps a low profile. If he doesn't speak, it will be as if no one can notice the other party.
Yang Jian estimated that there must be a treasure in Su Miaoge that conceals the breath and reduces the sense of existence.
However, strictly speaking, Su Miaoge and his master were not from the Han Dynasty, nor were they under Yang Jian's command, so Yang Jian never explored it.
Last time, Su Miaoge spoke up and directly helped Yang Jian and others, providing a new idea and determining the foundation for starting a future.
This time, Su Miaoge spoke, and Yang Jian was also very curious about what suggestions the other party could make.
"Mr. Lu is a master of everyone, with a thorough concern. General Gao is familiar with the enemy situation. Although the questions raised are very important, I always feel that everyone seems to have only seen some external threats, and the more important one is, the crisis from the inside has not been raised!"
Su Miaoge seemed very polite and respected Lu Jiuyuan and Gao Xiaowu very much, but the words in his mouth stunned everyone present.
"The crisis from the inside? I wonder what Miss Su is referring to?"
Yang Jian recalled the various scenes under his command, but did not notice any omissions, but he still looked solemn and asked Su Miaoge.
Not only Yang Jian, but also Lu Jiuyuan, Gao Xiaowu, Niu Chou, Guan Changsheng and others all looked at Su Miaoge, not realizing that there was any crisis among the people under his command.
"You are all great masters and powerful generals in the army. When we set out from the Luoyang Palace, we were considerate. However, in the process of crossing the void, we seemed to have lost a part of the military harvests of our army!"
Su Miaoge's face remained silent and he said lightly.
"The lost supplies? Just a little food and grass. We still have a lot of money to take root and send someone to buy it..."
Lu Jiuyuan is the chief manager under Yang Jian, and almost all the supplies are controlled by Lu Jiuyuan, including various coordinations.
After hearing Su Miaoge's words, Lu Jiuyuan did not take it seriously at first, but he was a very smart and extraordinary person with extraordinary insight. He said halfway through his words, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
"Food and grass! If it weren't for Miss Su's reminder, something big might happen!"
Lu Jiuyuan spoke in a terrifying voice, and his voice was quite loud, which immediately made the others present fall into deep thought.
Mortals are not as good as immortals, they only need to eat qi and eat qi.
In the realm of human immortals, all those who practice cultivate their bodies consume a lot of energy by refining essence into qi and qi into spirit. The lower the realm, the less energy they can draw from the world, and the more they need huge amounts of food and energy to replenish.
Only after reaching the realm of human immortality, can the level of life achieve a great transition and during the evolution process, the speed at which the human body absorbs energy from heaven and earth can it be possible to achieve a state that is almost like fasting.
Therefore, the 100,000 troops under Yang Jian and others still consume and need food very much.
Yang Jian, Gao Xiaowu, and Guan Changsheng were all people who knew about soldiers. Before leaving the palace, they had dig up Changping Warehouse in Luoyang City and brought out a large amount of food and grass with Qiankun bags for practical use in the army.
But in the process of crossing the void, some of the Qiankun bags were broken, losing half of their wealth and most of their food and grass.
According to Lu Jiuyuan's idea, this is not a big deal. After all, if you have money in your hands, you can buy back ten times or even twenty times the amount of food and grass for a hundred thousand troops at will.
If it were normal, Lu Jiuyuan's idea was not wrong. After all, there was still some food and grass in the army that could be eaten for a while. Even if the food and grass were running out, it would not be too late to buy it.
But now, Yang Jian and others are on the edge of Qingzhou and Yinzhou, located in the Black Wind Mountains in Qingzhou, and are located in the territory of the Black Wind Thieves among the 108 giant bandits in Qingzhou.
What is a bandit? If you don’t do anything about production, you will cause trouble, or you will occupy the mountains and become kings, or you will dominate the water, and engage in professional jobs such as relying on force and violence, robbery, killing and robbing people and robbing people.
Yang Jian and others are in the current situation. It would be fine if they don’t provoke the Black Wind Giant Thief. If they take a lot of gold, silver and treasures and want to buy food and grass from the Black Wind Giant Thief, they will really be meat buns to beat the dog, and they will never return!
What's even more troublesome is that when he saw profitable, the giant black wind thief was afraid that he would mobilize all the bandits to rush into the Black Wind Mountains with a scream, killing Yang Jian and others, and robbing money.
I have money, but I can't spend it, so I have no place to buy food and grass.
"Mr. Lu, how long can the army's food and grass last for now?"
Yang Jian is also an extremely smart person. With a little reminder, a piece of sweat suddenly appeared on his head.
The food and grass are no different than other things, they are used to manage the Five Insect Temples.
With the prestige of Yang Jian, Gao Xiaowu and others, they may be able to hold back if they don’t eat for a meal, but if they don’t eat for a day, the morale of the army will be shaken. If there is nothing to eat for ten days, the 100,000 troops will collapse and mutiny in an instant.
Besides, even if there is a place to buy food and grass, it will definitely not be able to be made back in one or two days.
I really have to wait until the army has no food available before I find out the problem, and I am afraid there will be a big mess.
"Your Majesty, all the old ministers are not considerate! Now, there is only one month of available food left in the army!"
As a great scholar in the world who was only half a step away, Lu Jiuyuan was sweating profusely at this moment, and even his voice was trembling.
It’s not that he was afraid of Yang Jian’s punishment, but that Lu Jiuyuan was devoted to the Han Dynasty, fearing that he would become the culprit for destroying the last trace of vitality of the Han Dynasty.
"Mr. Lu doesn't have to blame himself. We have discussed this matter before we set out. It was not Lu's fault, but it was the fault of the lonely and the incompetent formation, which led to the army entering this evil place!"
Seeing Lu Jiuyuan's expression, Yang Jian comforted the other party. Although he was unwilling to raise the issue of teleportation error again, he still had the courage to face it and took all the responsibilities on himself.
Lu Jiuyuan can be said to be unparalleled in the Han Dynasty, and Yang Jian should treat him as a national scholar.
Su Miaoge looked at Yang Jian silently, and when he saw the other party silently, he was bribed by people's hearts. When no one was paying attention, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.
This girl still resents Yang Jian's frivolous behavior towards him when he played with the Moon Spirit Wheel.
"It is certainly respectable that the king and his subjects have a strong relationship, but the problem still needs to be solved!"
He was unhappy with Yang Jian, and Su Miaoge immediately broke the strong atmosphere of affection between the king and the minister in the tent, and said in a scattered manner.
"Ahem, Miss Su's words are reasonable. This is my fault. However, this is not a time to care about the fault. Let's discuss how to make up for it..."
