The Yan Army Surrenders

Ye Mumu decided that before Zhan Chengyin left Zhenguan, she would check for omissions and fill in all the supplies needed for Zhenguan.

As for doing business with those merchants.

Aren't they just some gadgets?

Arrange!

She ordered 10,000 sets of solar ceiling fans, solar lights, enamel bowls and basins, stainless steel tableware, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, brushes, non-slip gloves, socks...

The cotton socks sent by Ye Mumu were very popular in Zhenguan. Ye Mumu bought 200,000 pairs of cotton socks from the wholesale market at one yuan a pair.

Not only were these socks scrambled for by the common people, but the wealthy businessmen also lined up to buy them overnight.

She was so absorbed in shopping that she didn't notice when the waiter of the villa brought her lunch and left.

She asked Master Huang to stockpile twenty barrels of diesel, but if Zhan Chengyin left, this amount of oil would be far from enough.

Because tillers, tractors, and excavators were working day and night.

She called Master Huang and asked him to call a few drivers and pay three thousand yuan for each trip of oil.

Ye Mumu ordered three hundred empty oil barrels.

They had to fill the barrels so that they would not be in an oil shortage once Zhan Chengyin left Zhenguan.

Master Huang and a group of truck drivers would go a long way to fill up the oil. They had visited all the gas stations in the city for fear of being recognized.

It costs two thousand yuan to refuel a truck, and Ye Mumu would pay three thousand directly when they come back to unload the oil.

It is more cost-effective than driving long distances to transport goods.

These days they plan to go two or three times a day to different gas stations to fill up the two hundred empty barrels of oil.

Today Ye Mumu called and asked for one hundred barrels of oil.

The price of a barrel of oil is 1,632, and if they fill it up, they will pay 3,000 per barrel.

The truck driver quickly called his wife over to fill up the tank together...

Generally, after two or three trips back and forth, the tank can be filled up.

Earn about 1,300 or 1,400 yuan.

This is pure profit. The wife is happy and they are happy too.

Ye Mumu asked them to fill up the tank in the next few days.

Although it is safer to run back and forth like this, the amount is too small.

If someone knows someone who runs a gas station, it would be great if they can directly give the tanker this amount.

Even if Zhan Chengyin leaves the town, the subsequent excavators, tillers, and even vehicles will not be caught in the oil shortage.

After Zhan Chengyin emptied the warehouse, he saw the long list sent by Ye Mumu.

Small items counted in tens of thousands, these items are enough for Wei Guang to sell for a long time.

There are twenty off-road vehicles and pickup trucks.

There are also three hundred barrels of oil. Oil is flammable, and he has to clear out a large warehouse for storage.

There is one more thing, he arranged for Song Duo to arrange the temple.

Tomorrow, he and the people and soldiers of the whole town will worship the temple and offer sacrifices.

If one day he leaves the town, the people of the town will continue to burn incense and kneel down to let the gods enjoy the offerings forever. When he returns to the capital, he will continue to build temples.

To thank the gods for their gifts to him.

"Report... General, enemy troops appeared three hundred miles away!" "

Report, General, the Zhan family army has received a secret letter from the king of Yan."

Zhan Chengyin heard the words, folded Ye Mumu's letter, and put it in a wooden box.

He stood up, put one hand behind his back, and looked at the soldiers entering the tent.

"What's the matter?"

A soldier presented a tablet with both hands.

He took it and turned on the video...

It was a high-definition picture taken by a drone. On the border of Chu and Qi, a group of people were sneaking around, riding horses towards Zhenguan.

The military uniforms they wore were not like those of Chu and Qi, nor were they barbarians.

They looked more like Yan people.

They were so hungry that their faces were pale and their horses could fall down at any time.

The team was very long, and there was no end in sight.

Are they here to attack Zhenguan?

Zhan Chengyin saw that such an army had no fighting spirit and was no match for the Zhan family army.

It was more like a group of people coming to steal vegetables.

Because Ye Mumu had sent down several more tillage vehicles, more than twenty electric tricycles, and ten tractors.

The arable land was more than doubled.

In order to plant more land and plant the land in the territory of Chu and Qi, most of the people were afraid of being liquidated by the Zhan family army and moved away.

But there were still some who had not moved.

They hid during the day and went to the vegetable fields to steal vegetables at night.

More than a dozen people were caught in the past few days.

The people were very angry and asked the soldiers to execute them.

Chen Kui thought that the crime was not punishable by death, so he took the people to the city to build houses.

Building houses is much more tiring than farming.

Bricks have to be moved even in the hottest weather.

Farming does not require labor in the afternoon. Farming starts when the sun sets or when solar lights are hung at night.

After Zhan Chengyin read it, he handed the tablet to the soldier.

The second soldier presented a secret letter.

It was written by the Emperor of Yan.

"Presented to General Zhan Chengyin, the governor of Ningguan, a group of people have recently rebelled and are heading to Zhenguan. I hope the general will send troops to help Yan kill the rebels!"

The specific number was written on it, 50,000 people.

The person who led the rebellion was a relatively famous general of Yan. His name was Xia Wei.

As for why they rebelled?

Because the Xia Kingdom had no food, and no food was distributed to General Xia who was guarding the city for several months, he did not defend the city and ran away directly.

As for why he came to Zhenguan, it was probably because he heard that Zhenguan had water and food.

Fifty thousand troops, all of them were Yan troops.

If he accepted them, he was afraid that they would not be sincere.

If he did not accept them, after all, fifty thousand people, even if they were fifty thousand ordinary people, were all strong men, how much land could they cultivate.

The gods sent cotton seeds, and large tracts of cotton had to be cultivated to make enough cotton clothes for the people and officers and soldiers to survive the snowstorm two years later.

Now every household in the newly built houses has a kang.

When the people moved into the new house, they thought there was not enough wood to make a bed, so they built a kang.

Now it is hot in summer, and sleeping on adobe beds is cool.

Zhan Chengyin plans to accept this group of people.

Even if they are used as prisoners, cultivating the land every day will increase the labor force.

Besides, they eat refined rice for two meals a day, so they will agree.

Zhan Chengyin called Song Duo and Li Yuanzhong to bring people to negotiate, and also called Wei Guang and Wu Li.

What deserters or not, he has no obligation to help the king of Yan kill people.

But these people cannot be allowed into the city.

Because they are afraid that they will counterattack the city at any time!

Zhan Chengyin talked to several generals, and they made it clear that these people can stay and work, but they cannot be allowed to get too close to the people.

And let someone watch.

Zhan Chengyin nodded, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts, stay alert."

"Yes, General!"

They took a large truck out of the city.

*

In the evening, several generals came back to report, and saw a row of black vehicles parked in front of the general's tent.

The off-road vehicle has a trailer.

There is a pickup truck with a longer rear body.

Each car has been modified to be able to pull a lot of goods and stand two horses.

The moment they saw the car, they ran over immediately.

There are so many cars, each car has an extremely domineering appearance, black and colorful.

They all like it!

In this way, each general can get one.

Every time the soldiers under Xu Huai saw the people under the young master practicing the big truck, they looked at it eagerly.

They also wanted to touch it and try this big guy.

But the young master was domineering and didn't let him touch it!

Now there are twenty cars, they can get one.

In the tent, Song Duo reported to Zhan Chengyin.

"Xia Wei, like the general, guarded the border of Yan State. The barracks were out of food for three months, half of the people died, and there were originally 100,000 soldiers in the barracks, but now there are only 50,000. He said that if he doesn't leave, he will not be able to survive."

"He is willing to bring 50,000 people to submit to the general, and follow the general's lead in the future. I hope the general will keep them, as long as they are given food."

Song Duo came back to report, feeling very heavy.

Seeing Xia Wei, he thought of the Zhan family army a few months ago.

They were even worse off than Xia Wei.

After negotiations and persuasion by Song Duo, Wu Li, Wei Guang and others, they settled down at the outermost edge of the town.

Each person had two meals of porridge cooked with refined rice, plus minced meat, eggs and vegetable leaves every day.

The condition was that everyone must farm.

Plant cotton in the barbarian territory!
