Taking Marvel back to the Northern Song Dynasty
Chapter 116 Skyrocketing Prices
The Liao army that captured Fuping Town no longer dared to trouble Shenjiang Peak anymore.
This group of Song troops will be allowed to go without going down the mountain to cause trouble. As long as they send guards and horses to block the key terrain, once the Song people step into a relatively flat place, as long as it is convenient for the cavalry to charge, they will decisively eliminate this group of Song troops.
But the Liao soldiers also knew that the Song army had no horses and could only rely on firearms, and they would definitely not be able to conquer the mountain.
That night, Zhao An lit up his mobile phone screen in the granary on the main peak.
At this time, a picture of a warehouse center was displayed on the mobile phone.
In the picture, bags of white noodles and rice are stacked on top of each other like two huge city walls.
There were tens of thousands of bandits in the Palace of Hell before, so this granary was actually very huge.
"Plop, plop..." When Zhao An activated the Iron Man suit and flew up. Click the mobile phone screen downwards, each bag weighs 100 kilograms! It is estimated that thousands of bags of rice and noodles fell out of it.
When Zhao An looked at the phone again, the picture on the phone changed to what it was in the cache. It's like loading when the network is not good!
Looking at the motionless loading bar, it is estimated that it will take at least ten days and a half to recover.
Of course, everyone knows how much food there is on the mountain.
It was only when Zhao An ordered the two to guard the granary strictly.
The two of them were still shocked by the bags of rice and noodles that appeared in the granary.
"Brother, you are indeed a god descending to earth! You can create so much food in less than a bowl of tea! As the ancients said, food is the most important thing for the people. As long as you have food in your hands, even if you become an emperor, you will be nothing more than..." Zhang Bao Before he finished speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by Zhang Hu.
"Stop talking nonsense! As long as you and I, brothers, know this, remember, you are not a god. You are our master, and we will do whatever you ask us to do. We only obey your orders! For a moment Let your cronies reorganize all the rice and flour. I will leave the distribution of food to you, and I will be responsible for guarding the mountain gate and interfering with the embankment spies." As Zhang Hu spoke, he opened the bag with his saber and looked at the snow-white flour inside. Seeing the plump grains of rice without any impurities, I couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such white noodles and rice without sand.
Zhang Bao listened to his brother's words and quickly summoned a dozen of his men.
Prepare to separate and arrange all the rice noodles.
When Zhao Anfei was on his way back to Zhending Mansion, he saw villages still burning from time to time.
The Liao people's attack was very fast, just as the Liao army sneak attacked Shenjiang Peak.
Their main force has sent troops from three directions and rushed towards Zhending Mansion like hungry wolves.
Although there were dozens of passes, large and small, along the way, when the Song garrison saw the large numbers of Liao people, many generals did not stay vigil but ran away with their cronies.
As if entering an uninhabited territory, the Liao soldiers almost reached the Zhending Mansion without any bloodshed.
It turned out that during the time when Zhao An returned to Fuping Town.
The beacon fire warning has been sent back to Zhending Mansion in three groups.
The two highnesses were almost killed by the rebellion in the city, and the magistrate of Zhending Prefecture and various officials were also missing.
In such a panic situation, King Yun, as the third prince, directly took over the entire major affairs of Zhending Mansion.
Sure enough, he gave the order to strengthen the walls and clear the country.
When King Yun gave the order, King Su acted like you are the third brother and you have the final say.
This made King Yun feel even more comfortable.
If this battle is fought successfully, my father will definitely express his gratitude to me.
No matter how good the prince is, he has never worked so hard for the Song Dynasty.
But after being happy, what embarrassed King Yun was that many generals of Zhending Mansion were assassinated.
The entire officialdom was also filled with misery. Senior officials were killed and junior officials did not dare to go to court.
King Yun could only let his own men fill the gap.
Although because everyone was unfamiliar with each other, the efficiency of Zhending Mansion was extremely low for a while, but they were all his own people, which made King Yun secretly relieved. At least these people won't do it in disguise!
When the Liao soldiers arrived at Zhendingfu City, King Yun also gathered all the people from more than fifty miles around into the city to avoid the military disaster.
However, the rebels in the city have not been defeated and the spies have not been eliminated.
Coupled with the extreme shortage of food, King Yun was in a position of being unable to get off.
If you do a good job, your father will reward you, but if you don't do it well, you, King Yun, will come to an end!
When Zhao An returned to the Ye family again, the entire Ye family was in panic.
Even if Zhao An returned to the house, he could not calm down the people in the house.
Everyone is still uneasy and doesn't know what to do!
"Sir, there is a shortage of food on the market! All the people who were driven into the city by the strong walls and cleared the country don't have much food left. Now everyone in the city is trying to find ways to grab a little food! But under such circumstances, there are The grain merchants actually went on strike and refused to sell. The price of grain has risen to 3 taels of silver per shi of rice. Just a day ago when we bought rice, the price of rice was only 600 taels of silver per shi!" Lin Fu heard that Zhao An was back and immediately ran over to report to him. The information we have now.
But just when Lin Fu's accent fell, Ma Han, who walked in from the outside, directly interrupted and said: "Now it is no longer 3 taels of silver per stone. Now the price of brown rice is already 5 taels of silver. The price of polished rice is even more valuable." There is no market, no one will sell it even if it is 10 taels. Now there are crazy rumors outside, saying that our Zhending Mansion only has enough grain to last for 10 days! After 10 days, reinforcements will either come into the city with grain and grass, or they will have to go to the city within 10 days. Defeat the Liao soldiers. Otherwise, more than soldiers and civilians of Zhending Mansion will starve to death!"
"What did your two highnesses say?" Zhao An didn't expect the situation to be so critical!
"Now all the affairs of Zhending Mansion are being taken over by King Yun. I heard that King Yun wanted King Su to lead troops to quell the rebels and Liao spies in the city, but King Su suddenly fell ill. I heard that a Liao assassin poisoned him. Let Prince Su suddenly fall seriously ill!" Lin Fu said helplessly.
"Liao spies are really hard to guard against in this city. Half of the officials in our Zhending Mansion have been assassinated, and even dozens of people in some families have not been spared. Now the high-ranking officials have been assassinated, and the junior officials are all timid. People are assassins and craftsmen, and everyone is afraid to go out. One by one, they have submitted letters to resign in order to save their own lives. Your Excellency’s original decision was indeed a wise one. We have bought more than a dozen houses in the east corner of the city. Now we have We are reinforcing the defense and even hired civilians to build six tall archery towers." Mahan also reported on his work!
"Very good, you did a good job. Also, be sure to protect the water source. Fortunately, there is a big river running through the city in Zhending Mansion, so the people are not afraid of someone poisoning the wells. It's just that we shrink to the city In the east corner, we must be careful to prevent dangers. If the well is poisoned, all of us will be finished!" Zhao An thought about it and said to the two of them!
Zhao An ordered the two of them to speed up the construction of defenses. At the same time, after Zhao An took a short rest, he was going to see if His Highness Prince Su was really sick or faked it!
