The grain transportation line was a top secret, but there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. It was impossible to guard against the scouts and spies alone.
Jiang Pengji was handling military affairs and inspecting the training of the troops. The messenger had something to report.
"What happened?" she asked.
"The 50,000 dans of grain transported from Xing City in Hu County was attacked …" The messenger said with a heavy expression.
Jiang Pengji crushed the pen in her hand. She didn't show any agitation, but her eyes turned cold.
"What do you mean? The grain transported from Xing City in Hu County was attacked? "Jiang Pengji asked," Who attacked? "
The messenger didn't answer, but she had an idea.
Xu Bei's troops were almost all under her nose. The person who could attack the grain line without anyone noticing must be Huang Song.
The messenger said, "Although the attacker didn't show his flag, from the weapons we found, it should be Huang Song."
The weapons were engraved with the surname "Yuan" and a simple family emblem.
The Yuan family was Huang Song's family.
Jiang Pengji gritted her teeth in anger. It was too inconvenient to transmit information in ancient times.
When she received the news that the grain team was attacked, Huang Song had gone home early.
"Do the military advisors know about this? Have you sent anyone to intercept them? " Jiang Pengji knew that the 50,000 dans of grain could not be kept, but those who came to steal the grain could not think about leaving. They had to stay alive. "What are their arrangements?"
Jiang Pengji was overseeing the main army. These days, she had been handling military affairs and calming people down. Yang Si and the others were at the frontlines. Naturally, their reaction speed was much faster than hers. If they sent troops to intercept them in time, they might even be able to beat those thieves to the ground and send them to the King of Hell!
The messenger said, "Military Advisor Qiguan learned about this and has already sent troops to intercept them."
Jiang Pengji trusted Qiguan Rang's ability. Since he had taken action, he would not let Huang Song leave unscathed.
Even so, Jiang Pengji was so angry that her liver hurt.
She had spent a lot of money to build the heavy cavalry battalion. Even if she recovered by plundering the nobles of the northern borderline, she still felt that she was poor.
In troubled times, no matter how precious jewels and gold were, they were not as precious as grain.
Although Hu County was a major grain-producing county with a large area of arable land, it was not easy for farmers to farm. Grain was planted, not conjured. Every grain was precious. She couldn't help but clench her fists at the thought of Huang Song stealing or burning fifty thousand dans of grain.
The audience in the streaming room had been following Jiang Pengji for some years. Occasionally, they could guess her mood from her expression and gaze.
Needless to say, given the situation before him, she was definitely angry.
Huahua Loves Pighead: "Host, don't be angry. Our 850,000 salted fish army supports you." Fifty thousand dans of grain is nothing. Each of us will give you some as a tip. When the time comes, you can exchange it for a million dans of grain. Eat one bowl and throw it away, cook one pot and throw it away. Let those poor bastards see the might of a nouveau riche. He wanted to let them know one thing — with money, you can really do whatever you want! I'm not angry anymore.
Jiajia Yu: "Well, let me ask a stupid question. Is 50,000 dans of grain a lot?
Jiang Pengji rarely got angry. Many of the audience had been following her novel for so many years, but until now, they had never seen any expression other than a calm or smiling expression on her face.
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Fifty thousand dans is a lot. If you guys have been following her updates since a long time ago, you should know that the host once did a show in Hejian County where she limited the purchase of grain to suppress the price of grain. At that time, the host didn't have much grain on her hands. She had to make a tight calculation and barely suppressed the price of ordinary grain in Hejian County. Think about it, how much is 50,000 dans? If it falls into Huang Song's hands, he won't leave it for the host even if he burns it. "
Guicai Guofengxiao: "According to my observations over the years, one dans in this world is about 50 kilograms. Let me calculate for you guys. If an adult eats one catty a day, then 10,000 people will eat 10,000 catties, which is equivalent to 5,000 kilograms, which is 100 dans. "
With the intuitive numbers, the audience could not help but gasp.
Toudu Feiqiu: "That's not right. The cooks who transport the grain also need to eat. Their grain is also paid from the total amount of grain transported."
Shenjia: "But I remember that Xing City in Hu County is only seven or eight days' journey on foot from the frontline. No matter how much the cooks can eat, how much can they eat? When the 50,000 dans of grain is transported to the frontline, there will definitely be a large portion left. Now that Huang Song has intercepted it, it would be strange if the host doesn't feel distressed. "
The audience was already used to the plot of television dramas. They thought that millions of dans of grain could be easily taken out to fight a war.
Little did they know that 50,000 dans of grain could already support a small-scale war.
It was true that Jiang Pengji did not lack grain, but it did not mean that she would not feel distressed if the enemy intercepted or burned her grain.
The audience was silent for a moment.
Zhongfei Yesterday's Stars: "I remember that when the Dongqing earthquake occurred in Shangjing, the streamer seemed to have exchanged a lot of grain from the streaming system. 50,000 dans of grain is indeed a lot, but there are more people in our streaming room. A conservative estimate is that if each person donates one catty of grain, it should be enough. "
Because Jiang Pengji was too unconventional, she had only once asked for a reward during the time when she had been streaming for many years.
If not for someone reminding her, the audience would have almost forgotten that she had a golden finger of the system.
What was there to be afraid of when there was a lack of grain?
The 850,000 salted fish lacked everything except three to five catties of grain.
As long as Jiang Pengji asked, they would definitely donate.
They had been freeloading in the streaming room for many years. Now that they finally had a reason to spend money, they must let the people in the other world see their extravagance!
Liu Yukong: "Yes, yes. Streamer, let us drown Huang Song with grain!"
The audience's interest was aroused. Before the tycoon could give a reward, Jiang Pengji actually stopped him.
Host V: "No need. Keep it to buy candy for yourself. Even if you give me a reward, I won't exchange it for grain. It's meaningless. "
Jiang Pengji had her own considerations.
The earthquake in Shangjing was a last resort. Now that they were far from being at the end of the line, she would not use the system's exchange platform.
It was not because she wanted to save face, but because she had to pay a price if she used it.
Taking 10,000 steps back, if there was really a shortage of grain, she would not need the audience to give her a reward.
After so many years of streaming, her popularity points had long accumulated to a terrifying number.
If she really exchanged it for grain, not to mention drowning Huang Song, she could drown all the people in the five countries in the world in the sea of rice.
Hearing her say so, the audience could only suppress the impulse to stick their heads out.
Qianshang Nanbi Yueguang: "Okay, brainiac, I'll go buy candy now."
Jiang Pengji: "…"
After the audience's interruption, Jiang Pengji's anger was also replaced by reason.
Qingqing Liye: "Streamer, without the 50,000 dans of grain, will the army be short of grain?"
There was no one in the tent. Jiang Pengji said in a low voice, "No. We can't put all our eggs in one basket. Similarly, there will not be only one grain line. Hu County and Xingcheng are one. There are a few others. Without the 50,000 dans, they will at most suffer a little, but they will not starve. "
Not to mention, Qiguan Rang would not let Huang Song take advantage of them and escape unscathed.
