Chapter 320 Watching and helping each other

But if the troops stationed in Lianjiang County are not taken down by one day, the opponent's army will not dare to go to Fuzhou City, and then the entire grain road and back will be exposed.

"And, what we have done is passed down by the people, so that we can retain a good reputation for continuing to go north in the future." Sun Yu would not stop his progress. Once he recovered, he would still continue to go north and fight to Wenzhou, so that the person in Hangzhou would be unable to sleep or eat.

"Mr. Marquis, are you planning to calm down? You're almost starving to death." Xu Yi lame his legs and walked in from outside. He was the only one who could come in directly without reporting.

"Sir, you arrived so soon. Why don't you stay in Fuzhou? What are you doing here?" Sun Yu suddenly felt that someone had shared the pressure, so he stood up and asked Xu Yi to sit down.

"How can I sit there? This granary doesn't have much grain, and it's still decreasing day by day, and it's about to bottom out." Xu Yi shook his head. Although Fuzhou is Shangzhou and has a large population, it is now in short supply of food. He only realized this situation when he arrived.

"Well, the tax grains from the other states have been collected. I have transported them over and rescued them first." Sun Yu looked embarrassed. He knew about the situation in Fuzhou. All counties had been emptied, so he could only count on the other states to come over and rescue them.

"Mr. Marquis, now in winter, the water level is too shallow and the big ship cannot be transported. Jianzhou has already been arranged, but the transportation capacity is limited. However, the two Zhangquan prefectures have not only been too long for grain transport here, but also the consumption along the way is too large." Xu Yi calculated that the surplus of Jianzhou alone could not save Fuzhou at all, and Quanzhou had to take action.

However, the consumption along the way of Quanzhou transporting grain here is enough to drag down Quanzhou. Once Quanzhou is hollowed out, who should support the Daliuqiu Island?

"If you are shipping by sea, you should reduce the loss." Sun Yu had no choice. If you set out from Quanzhou Port, you can go directly to Lianjiang County, so the loss can be negligible.

"There are no sea boats." Xu Yi spread his hands and basically all the sea boats went out to sea, so he left a few small cargo ships that specialize in Quanzhou to the Daliuqiu Navy Base. Even if they were recruited, they would not be useful.

"Try to raise as much as possible first. You can't starve people to death. It's time for news about the merchant ships going to sea." Sun Yu is now hoping that they will come back soon. Even if they don't bring food, they can still be used as transport ships to solve the problem of transporting grain from Quanzhou to Fuzhou.

"Ah snee~" Song Wumian sneezes hard and rubs his nose. Quanzhou Port was already in sight.

The merchants who came to hear the news made Quanzhou Port very lively, waiting for the merchant ship to come back, sell the goods back, and make a fortune.

The governor of Quanzhou Ye Heng, heard that the fleet had returned, put down the matter at hand and came directly on a carriage.

More than 100 large ships are slowly approaching the port. Since the navy went to sea, few large ships have come.

"Captain Song, do you still have a baby on your ship?" Ye Heng saw Song Wumian walking down and asked. There were not so many ships before going to sea.

"Some of the eyes were wiped out by us along the way. These were all spoils." Song Wumian laughed. This time he went out to sea, he could be considered a fortune.

.

"Captain Song, I have a word, which may help Captain Song." Ye Heng looked at the busy dock, boxes of rare items harvested from overseas were being moved off the ship, and these goods will then be placed in the warehouse.

"I would like to ask Lord Ye for advice!" Song Wumian bowed and bowed. Ye Heng has been an official for many years and is well aware of this. If he can make him say this seriously, the importance of this must be small.

"Just talk here?" Ye Heng shook his head. I won't talk about the benefits. I have to give you some wine.

"It's easy to say, Lord Ye will follow me!" Song Wumian had been floating on the sea for a long time, so he didn't react at once. He immediately made a gesture and asked Ye Heng to follow him to look at the sea tower.

As for the matter at the dock, I arranged it to Chen He first, and handed Liang Yingzhu over to my sister Wuhuai, and stayed with her for a while. After finishing her business, I would take her back to the Liang family.

In the beautiful room of Wanghailou, Song Wumian greeted Ye Heng to sit down and personally filled with Feitian wine.

"Secretary Song, do you know what the war in Fuzhou is going on right now?" Ye Heng, as a senior official of the Zhongyong Army, received first-hand information in Fuzhou, which is much better than others' hearsays.

"I don't know very well, I just heard that the Marquis took down Fuzhou City." Song Wumian felt that this wine was worth it. There were not many people who could explain the war ahead clearly in this huge Quanzhou City.

If he could fully understand the situation of the battle, he would also be able to judge the situation and make some movements to gain the appreciation of Zhenhai Hou.

"The general of Nanyue Luo Jixing led 50,000 elite troops to attack, and was burned by the Marquis's hand and retreated in a hurry. Now Fuzhou is as solid as a soup." Ye Heng drank the wine in his glass, and the Marquis' battle completely repelled Nanyue.

Now I heard that it has started snowing in Hangzhou, and it is impossible to organize a large-scale attack before the beginning of next spring.

"Then is this battle over?" Song Wumian was a little lonely in his excitement. It was naturally a good thing to completely take Fuzhou. Unfortunately, he did not make any achievements in this battle.

"The war is over, but the overall situation of stabilizing Fuzhou has just begun." Ye Heng knew very well that Fuzhou had a serious shortage of food. He had hired civilians to transport food there, but it was not a long-term solution.

"Can there be people who rebel? Living under the rule of the Marquis is a blessing they have cultivated for several lifetimes." Song Wumian felt that these people were really ungrateful. Now under the rule of Zhangquan, the lives of ordinary people have changed greatly. On the contrary, those landlords have had to sell land in different households or pay high taxes.

"As long as a large number of people are hungry, people will rise up and rebel. Throughout history, all of them are like this." Ye Heng reads history books well. Since ancient times, he has basically been about to starve to death and can only rise up and resist.

"Fuzhou is rich, and the autumn harvest has just passed more than a month, so how can it not be full?" Song Wumian was a little surprised. Fuzhou took advantage of the water conservancy of the Minjiang River and had countless fertile land on both sides of the shore, which was still three points richer than Quanzhou.

"When the Fuzhou City defenders retreated, a fire burned all the food in the city. Later, the marquis hoarded the other party in the company.

The grain and grass in Jiang County were burned down, and Luo Jixing simply searched the ten miles and eight villages. Now there are less than one or two of them. "Ye Heng subconsciously ignored Sun Yu's raising of food and grass on the spot. Such a tragic situation was all tied to Luo Jixing.

"Mr. Ye means, let me lead the navy to transport food and grass from sea to Fuzhou? At this time, the waters of the Minjiang River were shallow, and at most they could only go to Lianjiang County. Then they would be in danger of stranding." The Fuzhou waters had been running in the past. After all, at that time, the Qingyuan Army and Nanyue had a close relationship, and they had intersections with each other, so trade and trade were normal.

"Of course, what the Marquis is most worried about now is food and grass. If there is not enough food and grass, disasters and disasters may break out at any time. On the contrary, if there is enough food and grass to overcome this level, the people's hearts will be available." Ye Heng could not find a big ship, otherwise he would all plan to lead the team to do this matter himself, which would definitely be a great achievement.

"Okay, Mr. Song is going to prepare now." Song Wumian's eyes shone and transported this batch of food, which would solve the problem of the Marquis's heart.

"Captain Song, don't worry. Although Fuzhou is short of food, it's not like this day or two. How much food is there on this ship now?" Ye Heng grabbed Song Wumian. Your merchant ship is still unloading, and you will definitely not be able to leave for a while.

"About 150,000 shi. When Daliuqiu Island was docked before, he left 100,000 shi at the Navy Base because of lack of food." Song Wumian told the truth. The man in front of him was indeed devoted to his consideration, and his great achievements were right in front of him.

"I'm a little less. The food originally planned to be transported to Daliuqiu Island is placed in the official warehouse and you transported it together. Since there is a sea boat, I will also give you the food originally prepared for land transportation, and add 150,000 stones. Together with the food on your ship, there will be a total of 300,000 stones." According to Ye Heng's estimate, the food gap in Fuzhou should be about 500,000 stones, and 300,000 stones will be transported at one time. In addition, Jianzhou transported from the Minjiang River waterway, even if it is not enough, it should be barely maintained, so there is no need to worry about starving to death.

"Song thanked me here. When I come back this time, I will definitely go to the mansion to pay my respects." Song Wumian was extremely grateful. The difference between 150,000 and 300,000 was too big.

"No need to do this, Captain Song, you and I are both natives in Quanzhou. Now we are working under the command of the Marquis, so we should help each other. I have prepared this grain for you, so you have to find a way to do this ship yourself." Now, Sun Yu's command is getting stronger and stronger. Although it is wrong to form a clique and make personal gains, we can be a commonplace person as a fellow villager to watch over each other and help each other.

"Don't worry, Lord Ye, Mr. Song will definitely transport this batch of grain to Fuzhou as soon as possible." Originally, the cargo on the ship was removed, many ships were empty, and some small boats were recruited at the port. Anyway, they did not go out of the far sea, so it would definitely not be in trouble to follow the big ship to Fuzhou.

Chen He held the buns in his hand and sat on the dock of the port, staring at the laborers carrying goods while eating.

"Come on duck leg?" Song Wumian wrapped the unfinished roast duck in oil paper. He walked closer, tore off a duck leg and handed it to Chen He.
