"Supply me a bowl of porridge."

Zhang Rui was eating steamed buns in his mouth and staring at a pot of steaming rice porridge on the table.

"vulgar."

Sheng Hong and the concubine around him were both angry and looked down on him.

It was originally their breakfast, but Zhang Rui broke in and sat opposite Sheng Hong.

I simply don't take them seriously.

Even though he was angry, Sheng Hong asked the maid to add a bowl of porridge to him.

Zhang Rui took the porridge and started eating it with steamed buns.

During the meal, Zhang Rui even smacked his lips, which made them even more dissatisfied.

Of course, Zhang Rui only happens to this outsiders.

If he were in front of two girls, he would definitely not make a sound.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Rui said straight to the point: "I'm leaving today. Two girls stay here. Prepare 50,000 stones of corn. It's your life-buying money for the people of the county."

"Fifty thousand stones! So much!"

Sheng Hong was frightened by this number.

This 50,000 stone of corn is a tax for the whole county for three years.

Besides, this is a serious crime to kill the nine clans.

In a word, you can't give it if you beat it to death.

"I don't care, you'll send the corn before noon anyway.

If I don't give it, I will take it myself.

By the way, does Tanglang County know? It has been burned completely at this time.

There is also Zhu Yi, the magistrate of Tanglang County. He is outside the city at this time, so you can meet him if you have time."

After saying that, Zhang Rui got up and left.

"Master, this person is really rude. Why not give him to the court? Not only will he exempt him from the 50,000 stones of corn, but he can also be promoted."

The concubine reached out to pick up a piece of dried bamboo shoots, put them on Sheng Hong's plate, and made an idea.

Sheng Hong looked at her speechlessly. If he heard this, the people in the city would be buried with Zhang Rui.

But what to do now?

It’s not bad to give 50,000 s of corn, if you don’t give it, you will definitely make him angry.

Sheng Hong is in a dilemma now.

"Would you like to ask Ming'er and Ru'er to help them and ask them to plead with Zhang Rui, so that they can save the 50,000 stones of corn?"

The more I think about it, the more I feel it is possible.

Sheng Hongfan stopped eating, got up and left the room, and headed to Minglan's boudoir.

...

In the central army's tent, Zhang Rui discussed the route of march with the generals.

After some discussion, Zhang Rui decided to divide tens of thousands of people into three parts, and let Zhang Zhong and Lelin take two thousand people to set out first, with the destination in Nanguang, north.

Their mission is to open roads across mountains, build bridges across waters, and plunder money and grain in villages and towns on the road.

Zhang Ji and Zhu Yi led 4,000 people to serve the rear army and were responsible for sending money and food.

And he brought the rest of the people to the Central Army.

After the mission was released, Zhang Rui asked them to go down and prepare.

"Zhang Zhong and Zhu Yi stayed."

Zhang Rui shouted at the two of them.

Zhang Zhong said: "What's wrong? Dad!"

"Send your wife to Sheng's house before departure, and the three of them will be their company."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

"Wait, bring six boxes of gold and silver jewelry to Sheng's house and let them have three flowers."

In order to make them live a good life, especially the two girls, Zhang Rui took out the gold and silver jewelry he snatched from Tanglang for them to use.

"Okay." Zhang Zhong replied, then turned around and left the tent.

Then Zhang Rui stared at Zhu Yi and said, "You have studied, so I asked you to help my son, and teach him more."

"Don't forget? Your daughter is my son's daughter-in-law."

"Okay, go down and do business."

Zhang Rui was tired too, so he sent him away.

Zhu Yi held his hands tightly, let go weakly, and walked out of the tent with his head down and lost in despair.

Zhu Yi knew that he would never get off the broken ship of Zhang Rui.

All that awaits him is ruined...

Before he could drink water, two girls came in with their pregnant belly.

"Why are you here?"

They should be sleeping in at this time.

Zhang Rui quickly helped them to sit on the bed and said, "How is it? Are you tired?"

The two girls shook their heads obediently: "I'm not tired."

What happened today?

How could they speak like this?

Zhang Rui sat down cross-legged, looked up at their little faces: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Rulan asked, "Did you ask my father for 50,000 stones of corn?"

"Yes, it's considered the whole city's life-buying money."

Zhang Rui answered truthfully.

"For your beautiful lady, don't want this fifty thousand stones of corn."

Rulan held Zhang Rui's big hands with her two little hands and acted cute.

"Old thing." Zhang Rui didn't expect Sheng Hong to use this move.

He actually asked them to have a relationship.

"Don't scold people." Minglan said angrily.

Zhang Rui smiled, "Okay, I won't scold you."

Rulan urged him: "Do you agree or not?"

Zhang Rui reached out and pinched Rulan's baby's fat face and replied, "For your sake, I don't want 50,000 stones of corn."

"...It hurts..." Rulan knocked off Zhang Rui's hand and said, "It's great."

"Are you all hungry?"

“A little hungry.”

"Hungry."

The two said in unison.

Seeing that they were hungry, Zhang Rui quickly asked someone to cook, after all, it was the last meal before departure.

...

"let's go."

Zhang Zhong said, and set out with two thousand people first.

In another two hours, Zhang Rui took his people to set off.

Before leaving, the two girls hugged Zhang Rui and cried to death.

Zhang Rui couldn't bear to let them go, after all, I don't know when I will come back this time?

All this is hard to say.

I had to comfort them and wait until their emotions stabilized before leaving.

After about ten minutes, Zhang Rui kissed their smooth foreheads and made up his mind to turn around and leave.
