They made such a big fanfare, just to mock their incompetence, burned food and grass, and wanted to enter the southwest from Wu'an. The southwest garrison was nothing but a land of no one to them!

Cheng Kun was really frustrated and could not forget the big fire he saw when he arrived at the granary. He was even more reluctant to recall their powerlessness in the face of the fire. The fire was too strong and too fast, and it was not as good as the usual fire.

Now that I think about it, the emperor and empress of Da Kun personally have heard too much about this former princess and the prince consort.

Most of them are surprising and innovative, how can this fire be burned simply? ωωw..net

Cheng Kun was already frustrated, and when he heard that Situ Lie did not seize the opportunity to catch or kill them, he almost brought it up in one breath.

Situ Lie was about to kneel down, so he could kneel down. He sent a quick horse back to the capital to find the Minister of War to ask for food. He also had to discuss with Lou Yi how to collect food and grass to overcome the current difficulties first, and even rectify military disciplines to cheer them up.

He threw the problem to Lou Yi, and Lou Yi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. It was not a simple matter to support ten thousand soldiers. How could the people be willing to give out the food and grass in their families? If he said he would buy it with the people, how could he get so much money?

Lou Yi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. As soon as he and Cheng Kun set up difficulties, Cheng Kun seemed to be solving the trouble for the court. When the court's food and grass came down, he would return it to the people. He would either buy food and grass or borrow it, and the arrangement would be made by the prefect Lou.

He also came forward to buy it. He Cheng Kun gave the money. It was hard for a good cook to cook without rice. Whatever he did, he could only borrow it!

After thinking about it, Lou Yisi said that a strong dragon could not defeat a local snake. His local snake was suppressed by someone and had to give up his old face as a prefect to ask the people for borrowing food and grass, and promised to return it to everyone when the court supplies arrived.

But Lou Yi saved a little bottom line and said that he could borrow food, but the IOU must be named Cheng Kun, who is the leader of the garrison!

Cheng Kun finally agreed, and Lou Yi went to find the wealthy businessmen in the city who had acquainted with him, encouraged them to borrow food first, set an example for the people, and gave them a rare opportunity to starve this time, so that the above can see their loyalty.

Although these wealthy businessmen had money, they had no connections to the court. After being brainwashed by Lou Yi, they were relieved to offer their food and grass. Not only that, a new behavior was also borne - donating money.

It was decided by the wealthy businessmen after discussion that the garrison was unable to shake the morale of the army. How to protect the safety of the people in Wu'an?

This is a cover on the surface, but in secret, it is actually accommodating the generals of the garrison to ensure their family's wealth. It would be better if they meet the nobles who will help them.

Regardless of whether they have selfish intentions or not, the city has set off a trend of donating money. The rich will offer it, and the poor will take out their own food and grass to lend it out, and harvest the IOU from the garrison. With this operation, the problem of shortage of food and grass in Wu'an garrison will be temporarily solved.

Although Lou Yi has passed this level, he has to worry about whether the people can get back the food and grass. He also feels that it is not easy to deal with the leader on the other side. If the war begins, Wu'an will fall first, and his Wu'an prefect is not as good as the southwest prefect opposite.

At this time, almost no one remembered that there was still a minister of the Ministry of Works of Dongyue who was still trapped in the Great Kun.

Shang Huaiqing has been trapped here for several months. Not only has he not been let go, but he has not been taken away like those prisoners. He was eventually thrown away in the place where the sea fortifications were built. He watched how they perfected the fortifications, how they installed artillery, and torpedoes every day.

He has lived for so long and is about the same age as Song Qingming. For the first time, he feels that he is ignorant and unremarkable.

"Master Shang." Lou Mingyue's voice sounded behind him. Shang Huaiqing packed up and hurried over and said, "How is it?"

Lou Mingyue thought to herself, you fool, after so long, Dongyue has not sent you to find you. What else can you expect to save you?

Shang Huaiqing's face was dim and she sighed long: "I've got it right. I'm the position of my minister. How many people have to squeeze out my head? How many people are looking forward to me going back? They really gave up on me."

"Master Shang," Lou Mingyue put his hands behind her back. In recent years, he has become more and more extraordinary in the past: "How does Master Shang feel about this place these days?"

Shang Huaiqing knew what he was going to say, so he turned around awkwardly: "You don't have to persuade me, I know what you are going to say. I am a minister of Dongyue, how can I betray the king? And what should my family do?"

"You were forced to stay in the southwest, not to join the city. We all call you a hostage to the outside world. I hope someone from Dongyue will come quickly to exchange you back, but no one will pay attention. Look at how long you have been here, and is anyone right?"

Shang Huaiqing was lucky: "Did anyone come and you refuse?"

Lou Mingyueru suffered a huge shame and gritted her teeth and said, "Nothing is true. If this is the case, how could she hide it from you? We still disdain to do such stupid things. We lack talents, but if you don't follow us, we can still force good people to become prostitutes!"

Force your mother to be a prostitute? Shang Huaiqing was so angry that his face turned red: "Master Lou, how can you say such things in front of the child? How can you compare me with a prostitute?"

The child he mentioned was Qin Qi. Qin Qi was still a child. He had long been a teenager. He was a young man and had a passionate fight with the people. He was not childish at all. After hearing this, he smiled slightly: "Master is right, and my brother doesn't want to do this."

"You are not an unforgivable person, and you are more conscientious than Shen Zhantian. How can you hurt you? If Dong Yue really comes to ask for someone, you will give you a condition. The problem is that we don't even have the chance to make conditions, and Dong Yue seems to have forgotten you."

Shang Huaiqing's last hope was also broken. He had a headache and leaned to one side weakly. What should his family do?

"You don't have to be discouraged. Live here with peace of mind. Your Majesty will not treat you badly. We don't care about you. You eat, drink and live in your Majesty. You must be rewarded. Why don't you do some work you can do and we will pay you a salary."

"In this way, you are not considered to be a waste of food and drink, nor are you considered a prisoner, otherwise the situation would be too embarrassing."

Shang Huaiqing was upright and didn't notice that there was a trace of cunning light in his eyes when Lou Mingyue said this.

"So..." Shang Huaiqing's temperament is very similar to Song Qingming. He was in the navy. Not only did no one make things difficult for him, but he treated him very politely, especially the navy commander Han Tong and the deputy chief Tong Yuanniang. They praised him strongly for the maritime fortifications he supervised.

To be honest, he is a little floating.

Even in the Ministry of Works, Song Qingming was a straightforward person. He rarely praised people in various ways. His vanity was greatly satisfied with their praise. It has to be said that he did not suffer any torture except for worry.
