The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"There are quite a few. There are two or three hundred in Dante City alone."

"There are still quite a few near Dante City, but I don't know about other places."

Agade quickly replied.

"Yeah, I got it."

"Well, go back and ask everyone if anyone wants to return to Daqian. If they are willing, they can go with me."

"I will return in three days. You will just wait for me on the official road twenty miles outside the East City."

Ning Quan said.

"Yes, the little one knows."

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

Agade knelt down again to express his gratitude.

"Don't just thank me, the matter is not over yet."

"Wenhe, you come and explain to him."

Ning Quan turned and gave instructions to Jia Xu.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Agad, please listen carefully to what I say."

Jia Xu said solemnly.

"Yes, sir, please speak."

Agade said respectfully.

"First of all, Your Highness came to Persia this time to buy food, and he bought a lot of food."

"You're well aware of the current situation in Persia. The return journey will certainly not be peaceful. You must be mentally prepared for this and make it clear to the others."

"Second, you need to notify as many people as possible..."

"third………"

"........."

"Did you understand everything I said?"

After explaining everything that needed to be said, Jia Xu finally asked.

"Yes, I understand."

"I will do as you say, sir."

Agade replied respectfully.

"Very good, then go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Agade quickly agreed and turned to leave.

"I didn't expect to arrive just in time. This is exactly when I need help."

"Wenhe, how many people do you think he can recruit?"

Looking at Ajiade's back, Ning Quan said with a smile

"Your Highness, it's hard to say. The critical time is too short, but five or six hundred people should be no problem."

"Well, even five or six hundred people would be fine."

"Okay, let's go back."

Ning Quan nodded slightly and led everyone out of the teahouse.

……

Two days flew by.

That evening, the time had finally come to take action.

After everything was packed up, Ning Quan brought Xiang Yu and the other two to the port.

Jia Xu and others also began to act separately.

The port is also busy at night, with many merchant ships busy unloading cargo and people coming and going on the dock.

Ning Quan and the other two were wearing Persian costumes and blended into the crowd, and no one paid any attention to them.

Arriving at the first granary on the left side of the dock, Ning Quan immediately opened the space without any hesitation.

Then he continued walking along the dock to collect food.

Even though the food suddenly disappeared and many people screamed in fear, he did not stop, but just pretended to look back a few times.

After taking over four or five warehouses in succession, the entire port was in chaos.

Everyone was shocked. How could the food disappear out of thin air?

They shouted loudly, their faces full of fear.

But Ning Quan didn't care at all. He pretended nothing had happened and continued to walk forward and collect food.

They didn't stop until they were almost at the end of the dock and the space warehouse was completely full.

Then Ning Quan took Xiang Yu and the other two and left while the chaos was going on, and then came to the other side of the dock.

There is a fishing boat here, and Jia Xu and others have been waiting here for a long time.

The fishing boat was bought two days ago. Ning Quan made careful preparations for this operation and made a series of arrangements in advance.

After several people boarded the fishing boat, it quickly disappeared into the night.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, for your success." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Hahaha, this wave is not a loss, the space is full."

"It's a pity there's so much food left that it can't be packed anymore."

Ning Quan laughed.

"Your Highness, this is already a lot. Your Highness's space can hold three million stones."

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled.

"Yes, three million shi should be enough." Ning Quan sighed.

Three million shi is indeed not a small number, it is as much as 3 billion jin.

Assuming one person consumes 300 kilograms per year, it is enough to feed one million people for a year.

With so much food, Ning Quan could finally rest assured that the people in the three counties would no longer have to go hungry.

But if the drought continues into next year, this food still won't be enough.

By then, Ning Quan will need to come again.

Fortunately, the problem was solved in a short time.

Now that we have the food, it’s time to return.

But the return journey will definitely not be smooth.

Zhao Yu's huge grain transport convoy was like a piece of fat meat, and countless eyes were staring at it.

Thinking of this, Ning Quan felt a little overwhelmed.

If it weren't for the sake of the people, Ning Quan really wouldn't bother with Zhao Yu.

"Your Highness, we have reached the shore."

Jia Xu reminded.

Hearing this, Ning Quan came back to his senses from his thoughts.

"Well, let's get off the boat."

Ning Quan nodded and led everyone off the fishing boat.

This is a deserted beach, and it is also the landing site that Ning Quan chose in advance.

With so much food lost at the port, the city will definitely conduct a large-scale search and the city gates will definitely be closed. We might end up being trapped in the city.

That's why Ning Quan thought of buying a fishing boat and leaving Dante City by sea.

"Your Highness, our people are over there."

At this time, Li Yuanba pointed to the distance and said.

Ning Quan looked up and saw several soldiers waiting not far away, with a dozen war horses behind them.

Seeing Ning Quan and others, several soldiers hurriedly came over with their horses.

"Your Highness."

The soldier said respectfully.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, let's go."

Ning Quan nodded.

"promise."

Everyone took the order and mounted their horses.

Then, the group ran towards the east and disappeared from sight.

……

Twenty miles east of the city.

Hundreds of people were gathered beside the official road, all of them with anxious expressions, looking towards the direction of Dante City from time to time.

Standing right in front of him was Ajiad. Ajiad spent three days contacting more than 500 soldiers returning home.

They were all ready to follow Ning Quan back to Daqian.

Since there is no way out if I stay in Persia, I might as well go back to Daqian.

"Agad, why hasn't His Highness come yet?"

An old soldier couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, His Highness will definitely come."

"We agreed to meet at daybreak, but it's not even daybreak yet."

Agade affirmed.

"Alas... I never thought His Highness would come to Persia, and I never thought we would be going back again in the blink of an eye."

Another veteran sighed.

"What if I don't go back? Am I going to starve to death?"

One soldier retorted.

"That's right. If there is no other way, who would be willing to leave their hometown?"

"If you ask me, it's pretty good to follow His Highness. I plan to settle down in Daqian in the future."

"Yes, following His Highness will at least provide us with food and clothing, and we can even get land after retirement."

"......"

Everyone was talking about it.

"Listen! The sound of horse hooves!"

"Is His Highness coming?"

Agade suddenly said loudly.

"Look, here he comes, it really is His Highness."

"Hurry up, hurry up, stand up straight."

Everyone was suddenly very excited.

A moment later, Ning Quan appeared in everyone's sight.

"Your Majesty, I welcome you!"

Agade was the first to kneel on the ground, and the others also knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
