Summon players, rebuild Dawei

Just after dawn, Bohu came to the small market with a pole to sell tofu.

The reason why he traveled all the way to the small market instead of the bustling big market was because he found that the market here was close to Chiyuanli and Shuiyunli where aristocratic families gathered.

From the player's point of view, the more aristocratic families, the more rich people, and the more rich people means that it is easier to trigger hidden missions here.

Yes, the main purpose of Bohu's coming here is to wait for the task, and selling tofu is just to make some money by the way.

After finding the familiar mansion, Bohu put down the pole and basket, and sat on the steps of the door to rest.

Next to him was an NPC selling wild vegetables. He had set up a stall in the same place with him a few times. When he saw him coming, he greeted him: "It's so early to sell tofu!"

Bohu replied: "Yes."

"You Xiaolang can endure hardships, my son can't get up so early."

Bohu smiled perfunctorily, but didn't answer.

At first he was very excited to be approached by this NPC, but after chatting for a while, he found that this uncle was just chatting with someone for nothing, and he didn't even buy a piece of tofu after chatting, so he was too lazy to talk to him.

It was still early, but there was already an influx of people on the street. Most of these people got up early to work, and there were also some officers, soldiers, city guards, and stewards who came out to buy from big families.

Bohu likes those purchasing managers who are dressed in rich and noble clothes. When they come to buy tofu, they usually pay tens or even hundreds of dollars, and they will not bargain with him.

It's a pity that the few stewards I know came to buy tofu two days ago, and they probably won't come today.

Thinking of this, Bohu sighed softly, and then opened the forum to pass the time.

Recently, a female player posted a post [What to do if you are pursued by a male NPC], which became very popular on the forum.

Everyone loves to read gossip, not to mention the gossip about players and NPCs. Once this post came out, it almost became the top post on the forum every day, and Bohu has been chasing and serializing it.

While eating melons with relish, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body and a beard suddenly appeared in front of the stall.

The other party lifted the sackcloth covering the tofu and took a look, then asked: "Tofu is still at the old price?"

Bohu raised his head and saw that the person who came was Guanshi Qian who bought tofu from him yesterday, and he came again today for some reason.

He replied: "Yes, the old price, five cents a piece."

Steward Qian stroked his beard, but he didn't pay, but said, "Your tofu is very good, and it's tenderer than others. How about this? From next month, you'll send a load of tofu to me every two days. How about going to the Lu Mansion in Shuiyunli, half of the tofu money at the beginning of the month and half at the end of the month?"

Bohu froze for a moment, his first reaction was, could this be the beginning of some hidden mission?

However, after waiting for a few seconds, there was no task reminder, so Bohu could only agree first: "Okay, no problem!"

"En." Steward Qian nodded, and didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked towards the grain shop next door.

Manager Qian didn't come to this grain shop to buy rice, the Lu family had their own grain shop, so he wouldn't go to other houses to buy rice, he came here simply to ask about the price of grain.

This grain shop belongs to the Jiang family, and in a sense, it is equivalent to belonging to the government. The price of other grain shops should refer to the price of the government.

Steward Qian would come every half a month, and he was quite familiar with the shopkeeper. He strode across the threshold and was about to greet the shopkeeper, but he saw a man in a brown satin robe standing in front of the cabinet. guests.

He still knew this guest, it was Manager Xu of the Xie Mansion.

Guanshi Qian's eyes lit up, and his heart was faintly agitated.

The Lu family he was in was just a middle-class petty gentry. In comparison, although Xu Hai was just a servant, because he was a servant of the Xie family, even his status seemed noble.

Look at that smooth and watery silk and satin, how can ordinary family servants afford to wear it.

Guanshi Qian wanted to strike up a conversation, but considering that he knew the other party, but the other party might not recognize himself, he hesitated for a moment and still didn't dare to go over, just stood aside and listened to their conversation.

"My lord ordered me to come here to buy mung bean vermicelli. How many do you have in this shop?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The vermicelli is a new product that just arrived yesterday. There are not many products in the store, only two hundred catties."

"Then give me a hundred catties and send it to the Xie Mansion. Can I pay with silk cloth?"

"Of course it's fine."

Xu Hai paid the deposit with a smile, told the shopkeeper that the vermicelli must be delivered before noon today, and then turned around and left the door.

Steward Qian watched Xu Hai's back leave, and immediately walked to the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, what is that vermicelli he bought?"

The shopkeeper was very happy that he had made a big order. Hearing this, he smiled and took out a handful of dry vermicelli tied with twine and said, "This is mung bean vermicelli. It is soaked in water and then boiled to eat."

"Is this vermicelli delicious?"

"That depends on how you do it. If you add salt to plain water, it won't taste very good. If you add some stewed mutton, the taste will be gone!"

Steward Qian looked at this dry, twine-like thing, and was skeptical of what he said, but he thought that steward Xie's mansion bought it for a hundred catties just now... Even Mr. Xie's family likes to eat, the taste must not be so bad .

In the end, Guanshi Qian made a decision: "Give me another ten catties."

When the early morning sun slanted on the threshold of the government office, Jiang Shu brought Xiao Wu to work in Cangcao. As soon as the little cat jumped into the main room, he was greeted by the eyes of all the officials.

Recently, as the agricultural knowledge popularization course came to an end temporarily, the internal affairs of Cangcao were also a little looser, and the officials were able to free up their hands to tease the cats raised by their bosses after work.

Xiao Wuben is mischievous, and under the intentional connivance of the hidden cat slaves, this kitten has become acquainted in Cao's office in just a few days, and anyone can climb up on the desk and lie down for a while.

Letting Xiao Wu play outside, Jiang Shu walked into the inner hall, opened the window to let the sun shine in, and then sat down at the desk and took out his breakfast for today.

Breakfast is still steamed cakes, but steamed cakes filled with chopped walnuts and jujube kernels. The big steamed buns are thick and soft with a hint of sweetness, and taste very good.

After eating two steamed cakes in a row, Jiang Shu took a sip of water and burped. Just as he opened the document to prepare for work, a voice came from outside the door.

"Jiang Yan, the Lord Fu please go to the main hall."

Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows, and filtered his recent actions in his mind. There should be nothing worthy of Jiang Ke calling him over to teach him a lesson. He probably has some work to entrust to him.

He stood up and replied, "Understood, I'll go right away."

Jiang Shu came to the main hall unhurriedly and stepped into the door, Jiang Shu felt something was wrong.

The hall was very quiet, so quiet that it was almost solemn, but there were quite a few people inside, except for Jiang Ke and Jiang Xian, Zhu Tai, the governor, Li Mao, and Luo Nong Jin Cao were all among them.

Not long after he arrived, another man in a soap-colored official uniform and boots walked in.

The man raised his hand to salute Jiang Ke and the others. Jiang Shu recognized his identity through the official uniform, and it was the soldier Cao Wei Wei Zhuo.

"Everyone is here, please take a seat." Jiang Ke broke the atmosphere of silence, and when everyone was seated between the seats on both sides, he slowly said in a thick voice: "I have invited everyone here today because I have something to tell."

Hearing him speak in such a serious tone, everyone present had a premonition of what he was about to say.

"But the battle in Xing County has changed?" Li Mao asked first.

"That's right," Jiang Ke nodded, "Lieutenant Xundu sent a letter, Huyan Manman and Lan Gujian led [-] troops to surround Miyang, and they are ready to attack Miyang City."

"It turned out to be Lan Gujian leading the army..." Zhu Tai murmured, and immediately asked: "How many soldiers does Qin Shishi have under his command?"

"No more than ten thousand."

Zhu Tai took a deep breath: "This, I'm afraid it's not good."

Jiang Ke continued: "The governor of Qin has asked General Hua for support, but once Hua Xin goes to Miryang, Bai Lanxing will only have [-] soldiers and horses of Lieutenant Xundu, and it is rumored that Hu Yanchao is leading the army. Ten thousand soldiers and horses went to Bailanxing."

Jiang Shu understood, Jiang Ke meant that the Xiongnu army was divided into two groups, the main force was [-], the purpose was to attack Miryang, and the [-] troops were dedicated to restraining Bailanxing soldiers and horses. If Ling didn't move, they wouldn't move, and once Hua Xin led troops to support Miryang, they might send troops to attack Bai Lanxing immediately.

"For the current plan, we can only ask for help from Yongzhou." Jiang Shu said.

Xun Zhou, governor of Yongzhou, was Xun Ling's father. His son was in danger, and as a father, he would definitely send troops to rescue him.

When the Xiongnu attacked Duanmen before, Yongzhou sent Hua Xin and his [-] soldiers to help, but he did not expect that the defenders in Duanmen cities were so vulnerable. Before Hua Xin arrived, the entire Duanmen County are all lost.

Jiang Ke obviously thought the same as him: "I have gone to Xinyongzhou to ask for help, but I don't know if Miryang can support the Xun governor to send troops. According to Xun Ling's letter, both Miryang and Bailanxing's armies lack food, grass and armaments, especially Miryang. , with the existing reserves in the city, I am afraid it will not last for a month after being besieged."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ke looked at Jiang Shu: "Can the treasury still bring out food and grass?"

Jiang Shu thought for a moment, then replied: "The aristocratic family still has some leftovers for exchanging grain, and the silk cloth stored in the warehouse can also be used to buy some grain, but after the grain and grass are transferred, it will be difficult to continue the relief of the refugees."

Jiang Xian: "Recently, the number of refugees outside the city has decreased significantly, and it is not a big problem to suspend the recruitment of refugees."

Jiang Ke also meant this: "The war is imminent, in case the enemy sneaks in, the recruitment of refugees should be suspended."

Seeing that they had made a decision, Jiang Shu nodded and said, "I will check the treasury as soon as possible and ship the military supplies and food."

Jiang Ke responded, and looked at Wei Zhuo who was sitting on the other side: "How are you preparing for the construction of the defensive wall?"

Wei Zhuo got up and replied: "All the people have been recruited, and we can leave for Zhaonan County today."

"I will write to County Magistrate Cui and ask him to send someone to escort him. There is no room for error in this matter."

"promise."

Then Jiang Ke asked about the weapons of Jincao's Tiefang. After everything was agreed, he looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "We need to prepare for the worst. Once Miryang falls or Bailanxing falls, we will close it." The city gates, with solid walls and clear fields, are ready for battle at any time."
