Chapter 1110 Encountering a food truck on the road

"Your Highness, are we not collecting secret treasures in the short term?"

Second Geng asked hesitantly.

Collecting secret treasures is not that easy.

I won’t talk about the resistance of the aristocratic schools.

The longer this matter is delayed, the more people will know.

Jianglu and Fusu have already caused chaos once. If they delay further, they don’t know who is coming to cause chaos.

"No, let's go east."

Qin Xuan put the Tianlu Book on the table and said very firmly.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State lived west of the Taihang Mountains, and the east of the Taihang Mountains was called "Shandong".

The more he studied the secret treasures of hundreds of schools, the more he could feel the magic of this thing.

The nature of these two things is beyond Qin Xuan’s understanding.

So the more he wanted to collect all the other secret treasures into his own hands.

There is also the secret treasure of the deceased Confucianism.

Originally Qin Xuan thought that the Confucian secret treasure should have been buried in the vast fire with Confucianism.

But now it seems that the secret treasures of the Mohist and the Legalists have characteristics that are difficult to damage.

The Confucian secret treasure should not be so fragile that it disappears completely when it is burned by fire.

A darkness flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes.

If this is the case, it must be that someone else will take away the Confucian secret treasure.

And that person should be the one who destroyed Confucianism.

Without further ado, Qin Xuan immediately took the second update to head to the east.

Because Gauss is already old after all, he did not take him with him during this trip to Shandong.

Instead, he was asked to stay in Xianyang and pay attention to the movements of other people in the capital.

As soon as we left Xianyang, the sky became gloomy.

Since steaming cars have not been promoted to all parts of the country, it is not easy to maintain.

So they chose to ride in a carriage for this trip.

Although it is not very comfortable, it is at least better than walking over with two legs.

"Your Highness, maybe we shouldn't choose to set out today."

Because the place we are going this time is far away.

So Qingqing specially arranged a lively and cute little girl to take care of Qin Xuan's daily life.

The little girl Ziying looked at the dark sky and couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said.

You can no longer choose when to set out, you can only choose the faster the better.

Qin Xuan thought to himself, but he was too lazy to refute a little girl.

He lifted the curtain and took a look. A row of food trucks were squirming at the edge of the horizon from afar.

"Is that private or official grain?"

Nowadays, the official grains and grass are usually transported away by steam trains.

So the one that appears here should be private food.

But the key problem is that if this amount is private food.

Then in this era, it can definitely be considered a smuggling of food and grass.

"Your Highness, if you count on the days, today is indeed the day when the official grain comes out of Xianyang."

After hearing this, Qin Xuan was even more confused.

"Catch up and take a look!"

"twitter!"

After receiving the order in the second update, the whip in his hand thrust hard on the frame.

After hearing the whip's terrifying sound, the horse quickly galloped.

After gradually moving forward, Qin Xuan not only clearly saw the specifications of the official grain, but also found that the person who escorted the official grain was actually an acquaintance.

"How did General Meng Tian personally escort the grain?"

Although food and grass are important, it is not enough for the celebrity around Emperor Meng Tian to come and escort him personally, right?

Besides, generally speaking, the food and grass are now transported by train.

They can't even touch the robbers or something.

The speed will also be faster.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The gradually gloomy weather made the two of them not care about too much greetings.

It is important to find a place to shelter from the rain first.

Under the rapid horse whip, I soon arrived at Xianyang Station.

"During this period of time, train tracks were under maintenance, and the soldiers on the border could not stop eating, so the ministers came to take the food in person."

This place is already a little far from Xianyang.

Therefore, this station is relatively simple.

Meng Tian personally laid a seat cushion for Qin Xuan's chair before speaking.

"Then you don't need you, General."

Qin Xuan thought about it and felt that things should not be that simple.

Seeing that he had discovered something was wrong, Meng Tian then told the truth.

It turns out that the train maintenance is small, and some people are corruption is big!

There will be more or less losses along the way to transport food and grass.

Blown away by the wind, broken, damp...

Essential things like grain need to be preserved well, and there will definitely be no particularly good storage conditions on the road.

Therefore, it gives corrupt officials room for corruption.

As long as the amount of corruption they embezzled is similar to the amount of loss in daily life, no one can see it.

It would be fine if it was just a little bit like this.

After all, the word "greed" is originally just a little bit of a person.

It is impossible to require every official to be completely clean and honest.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish.

But later, the corrupt officials became more and more obvious.

Before getting on the bus, the grain and grass are measured at Xianyang Railway Station.

After getting off the car, it was distributed directly to all the soldiers, so it stopped weighing it.

In this way, each of the soldiers would have less food.

Then the corrupt officials have become more than a little corrupt.

"But because there are not much food, the soldiers can't explain it clearly."

After all, it is impossible for soldiers to carry poles with them when fighting, so as to say whether the food and supplies they have allocated to them is sufficient?

After listening to Meng Tian’s argument, Qin Xuan was shocked.

If you have such a careful mind, what's wrong with doing?

It's really annoying to think about how to embezzle.

"So, I did not report this to Your Majesty, but instead escorted the food and grass to see what was going on."

At this point, Meng Tian completely explained the matter.

He originally planned to hide this matter first.

When the evidence is conclusive, please directly ask Your Majesty to make a decision.

"If someone really embezzled food and grass, I'm afraid there are people from the train stations who colluded with each other."

Listening to the pouring rain outside, Qin Xuan's expression became serious.
To be continued...
