Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

Two carriages and five people quickly left Sanhe Town and arrived at the provincial capital just after noon.

We didn't stay at the city gate, but followed the road to Jiang's house.

Jiang Chuan was not there, so Jiang Qi welcomed us in at the gate. There were several carriages parked in the yard, and servants were sorting the luggage. Busy but not chaotic. It looked like they were almost done.

In the evening, Jiangchuan and Xiuwen came back together.

We all got together for dinner and chatted for a while before sending Xiuwen back to the academy reluctantly.

The next day, they got up very early and without any delay, they rode at full speed towards Weibei.

When I arrived in Weibei, I realized that the situation here was more serious than I had imagined. It was not something that could be solved simply by doing something.

The granary keeper was Wu Cheng, the brother of Jiang Chuan's stepmother and the son of Wu Dailang. Because his sister married General Jiang, he got the position of granary keeper with the help of General Jiang. Because of this relationship, he made all kinds of difficulties for Jiang Chuan's arrival.

These past few days, he always smiled whenever he saw us. Whenever we wanted to go to the granary, he would make excuses, saying that the granary was under maintenance and the things inside were messy and disorganized.

If we are taken there now, if anything goes wrong in the outer granary, no one will be responsible.

Jiang Chuan wanted him to send someone to find some materials for making cement powder, but Wu Yong kept refusing, saying that there were not enough people at the moment and there was no way to transfer anyone over for the time being.

And there is no money in the account, so it is impossible to hire other people to look for it.

This really is a situation where no one has it and no one has money.

We have been here for three days and we don’t even know what the granary looks like. We haven’t even been inside the gate to see it.

Not to mention sending people to find things to make cement powder and how to solve the rat problem.

In the first three days, Jiang Chuan still dealt with Wu Yong according to his own temperament.

On the fourth day, Jiang Chuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and was too lazy to pretend to be friendly. He took the imperial edict and broke directly into the gate of the granary wall, ready to force his way in to see what was going on.

After Wu Cheng got the information, he hurried over. Seeing Jiang Chuan holding the imperial edict, he said with a fake smile, "I saw that Young Master Jiang had been traveling all the way, so I wanted you to rest for a few more days before coming here. Now that Young Master Jiang has rested, let's go in and take a look together!"

After that, he asked his men to open the gate of the granary. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, without any trace of the reluctance he had shown in the past few days.

Once the door is opened, you can see what's inside at a glance.

At one glance, I finally understood why there was a rat problem.

These granaries all have mud walls and straw mats on the roof. They look very crude. Not to mention keeping out the rats that crawl everywhere, if you are not careful, a little spark can burn everything down.

Wu Yong asked someone to open the door of the granary and let us in.

The granary was filled with bags of grain, piled high. The walls were surrounded by woven straw curtains, probably to prevent moisture. The ground was made of rammed earth, with a layer of wooden boards on top. It was simple and a little damp.

The room was clean and the light was a little dim. I couldn't see clearly. I glanced at it and looked away. But suddenly I felt something was wrong. Thinking back, there seemed to be something wrong with the color in the corner. And there was something wrong with the bags placed there.

What is wrong? I am a little confused. It seems that there is something I don't understand.

I was about to turn around and walk out, but I stopped and turned my head to look at the corner carefully again, wanting to see it clearly.

At this time, a soldier beside Wu Yong suddenly came over and blocked my sight. I was afraid of arousing suspicion, so I did nothing, pretending to be casual and looking away again.

Then he entered a granary, and the strange feeling in his heart became more and more obvious.

These warehouses were obviously just sorted out. Bags that have been stored for a long time will naturally flow down, but these bags are obviously not like that. It seems that they have just been put there for a short time. The bags have not drooped from the state of being just moved up to the state of being stored for a long time, and the drooping state is natural because they have been placed for too long.

One granary could be said to have needed to be tidied up and things had been moved around, but if so many granaries were like this, then it was obvious that something was wrong.

Is this a trap? But why do they do this? Isn't Wu Cheng afraid of the emperor chopping off his head?

Next, the conversation between Wu Yong and Jiang Chuan suddenly made me realize that maybe my guess was right.

This might be a trap, a trap specifically set for Jiang Chuan.
