This was not the first time that Tao Yan had been cursed by Chen Tang about his ancestors. At first, he felt helpless and furious, but as the number of curses increased, his threshold became higher. He began to feel a little subtle about the fact that Chen Tang's repeated curses could not cause any substantial harm.
His anger passed its peak and then subsided in an instant.
He pointed at Chen Tang and shouted proudly and fearlessly, "Let all of you go. I want to see how you, Shen Youli, can catch people! Mr. Shen, what else can you do besides scolding people here? Who are you showing your anger to? Can you provide food? Can you accept the common people in Yanzhou who have no food? Just talking a few words and pretending to be a gentleman who loves the people like his own children? Pah!"
Zhang He's eyelids suddenly twitched.
Qian Yong, who was eating melons, raised his eyebrows slightly.
At this moment, he and Zhang He had a particularly good understanding of each other.
Will this annoying guy Tao Shenyu talk back
Haha, you’re good at talking back.
You have to know that Tao Yan was previously greeted by Chen Tang in various languages, and he was furious and furious, with smoke coming out of his head, but he had no power to fight back. Because he claimed to be a normal person, he did not dare to be arrogant to Chen Tang, who had superb martial arts and could go crazy at any time.
Is it just because you are timid
Not entirely.
Everyone in the alliance army knew that Chen Tang was a master of both literature and martial arts. In other words, Chen Tang either had a short life or was mentally ill, and it was normal for him to go crazy every now and then. A normal person provoked a fool, and was beaten to death by a fool. Wasn't that unfair
Not only is it unfair, but after death people will laugh at you for seeking death.
Why would you provoke a mentally ill person for no reason
Tao Yan often warned himself not to bother with a short-lived man with a mental illness, but human patience was limited, and he fought back in an uncharacteristic way. Not only did he fight back, he also provoked. As a result, Gu Chi, who was trying to stop him, let go and kicked another colleague, Jiang Sheng, who was trying to stop him. Jiang Sheng cast a suspicious look at him, and Gu Chi mouthed "let go".
then-
Chen Tang let out a cry and left the pen.
He took a long step over the hurdle, crossed the not-so-far distance between the two of them, and sprinted forward, just to give Tao Yan a big fight.
All of them greeted Tao Yan's face.
Even the elegant Zhang He was so scared that he threw his hands forward and said in a high-pitched voice: "Shen County Magistrate, you must not do this—"
Beating up allies, this is such a cool move.
Qian Yong, the big bearded man, was also confused as he watched the mess in the tent. He even forgot to stop the fight and watched Chen Tang fight. His fighting moves were not those of a brave warrior, and he was well versed in the three moves of fools fighting.
Scratching the face, pulling the hair, kicking the three way.
There is no need for martial energy, what is being talked about is a strong martial virtue.
Zhang He stamped his feet in anger, completely losing his usual sage demeanor, and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Pull them apart!"
Tao Yan's cheeks were scratched, and everyone woke up as if from a dream, and each side pulled one person out. It's better to say that they were taking sides rather than trying to stop the fight. Taking advantage of the chaos, Tao Yan's body was covered with several gray footprints of large shoes.
Qian Yong was laughing so hard in his heart, but his actions were serious. While trying to stop the fight, he said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Tao, you are so disrespectful, so disrespectful—"
How could the people on Tao Yan's side let this go
This caused the chaos to continue for quite a while before it stopped.
When they separated, everyone saw that Chen Tang's clothes and waist were a little messy due to the big movement, his knuckles were red, and his nose was slightly panting, but his face was still smooth and delicate, and even more colorful because of the blush... No, complexion. Tao Yan, on the other hand, was not so decent. His hair was messy, and his hair crown was hooked by his messy hair, and his robe was torn open to reveal his inner shirt...
There are several large footprints visible to the naked eye.
The more miserable thing was still to come. There were three bloodstains on the left and four on the right of his face. His left eye socket was black and blue. His facial muscles were twitching because of his forbearance. His right hand was covering the area three inches below his navel and he was breathing lightly. Everyone couldn't help but look down slightly. Although Tao Yan was wearing a shin armor today, the armor piece was a little deformed. They couldn't imagine how much strength Chen Tang had used to greet him.
should-
It doesn’t hurt much, does it
When Qian Yong saw this, the area protected by his armor felt cold.
He and Chen Tang did have a feud, but he was the one who took the initiative to provoke one side, or took advantage of the opportunity. Afterwards, he was careless and defeated, and lost many soldiers and generals. It can only be said that he was not as skilled as his opponent. Qian Yong was not someone who could not afford to lose, so he just watched the show without provoking Chen Tang. In comparison, his resentment towards Zhang He was more serious. But at this time, Qian Yong was somewhat glad that he did not deliberately act like a jerk.
Chen Youli, this guy is really crazy!
If he were Tao Yan today, wouldn't he commit suicide out of shame and anger
Tao Yan was born into a wealthy family, and had been living a life of luxury since childhood. Even after the fall of his country, he still had old ministers and supporters. He had never suffered any hardship. He had always been high and mighty, so when had he ever suffered such hardship? He looked at Chen Tang with bloodshot eyes, and the hatred in his eyes almost drowned him.
Chen Tang rolled up his sleeves and put his hands on his hips.
He spat and said, "Mr. Tao, what are you looking at?"
Tao Yan covered his chest and almost couldn't breathe.
Zhang He gritted his teeth and inserted himself between the two of them, comforting each other. He knew that his eyelids were twitching wildly, and that there was nothing good about it—Chen Tang was too crazy! His level was completely comparable to Shao Chong before he controlled the Gu worm! At that time, Shao Chong went crazy and killed whoever he wanted to kill, and tore people with his hands as smooth as paper. Although Chen Tang did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, he was not afraid to go crazy and scold people.
Would a normal, rational person do this
The only thing to be thankful for is -
Tao Yan did not do anything to further irritate Shen Tang.
But this deadly feud was completely established.
When the atmosphere eased a little, Zhang He carefully pointed out the difficulties faced by the members of the Alliance Army: "... Mr. Chen, the things you are worried about... Although some of Mr. Tao's words are unpleasant..."
Chen Tang glared at him.
There was still some remnant of the violence from beating Tao Yan in his eyes.
Zhang He's heart sank, and the guards on his left and right secretly prepared themselves, ready to rush forward at any time to protect their master Zhang He from disaster.
Zhang He said with a stiff face, "... But Mr. Chen should know our difficulties. Last year, the weather was not good, and the harvests of various families were not as expected. We still had to squeeze out to fight against the tyrant Zheng Qiao... In Chaoli Pass, there are at least hundreds of thousands of common people in half of the state. Who can feed so many mouths? Even if we send people to replant now, the best farming time has passed."
The key is that they don’t have the manpower to replant.
It would take at least a month to take over half the state.
If we delay any longer, we might even miss the summer solstice.
Zhang He looked very ordinary, but he was proficient in medicine. In his early years, he relied on curing illnesses and saving lives to accumulate family wealth and fame. His eyebrows and eyes were also filled with a bit of compassion. He sighed and then spoke his plan earnestly: "For now, we can only capture the tyrant Zheng Qiao as soon as possible, end this dispute, and see how much food and grass we can raise to minimize the losses from famine."
Qian Yong sneered in his heart when he heard this.
Zhang Yongqing always uses the method of avoiding the important and focusing on the trivial.
Zhang He's suggestion seems to be fine, and it can even be used to inspire soldiers and boost morale, and it may even persuade people of insight to switch sides. End the dispute, restore peace, and reduce famine, but Zhang Yongqing used a Spring and Autumn style of writing here. That is, if the allied forces win the battle, the spoils will be distributed according to merit. Will other allies generously take them out and distribute them to the hungry people
Qian Yong had no doubt that Chen Tang would do what he said - although he had conflicts with Chen Tang, he never doubted Chen Tang's character and ability. If Longwu County had not been governed in an orderly manner and people's livelihood had not recovered rapidly, Qian Yong would not have looked down on this place at that time.
But the selflessness of the Chen Tang family is still a drop in the bucket.
Everyone tightened their belts to fight the war.
They all live beyond their means.
We finally won a great victory, but not only did we not make any money, we even lost money
The landlords no longer have any extra food.
Yes, the common people in half of Yanzhou cannot starve to death, but the common people under their rule and the soldiers who follow them deserve to starve to death, right
If Qian Yong could see it, how could Chen Tang not see it
But she also knew that she couldn't go too far, so she could only be patient for a while, pretending to be convinced. Then she loosened her clenched fists, smiled and said, "Zhang Jun Shou's words make sense."
Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
I couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from my forehead.
Once again, I sympathize with Huang Lie who played the role of peacemaker before.
However, he didn't know that Chen Tang would stop pretending after she returned. She showed her cards and stomped the table eucalyptus into a pile of sawdust. As a new member, Wei Shou saw her undisguised irritability up close for the first time...
Is it true that there was one before
Wei Shou and Chen Tang were enemies before.
Should we be gentle instead of violent towards our enemies
Wei Shou didn't expect Chen Tang to be like this to his own people. He couldn't help but glance at Chu Yao from the corner of his eyes, but saw that Chu Wuhui, the bastard, not only didn't frown, but instead looked at Chen Tang's feet with pity, and said, "My lord, why do you torture yourself with other people's mistakes?"
Wei Shou: “…”
He secretly tilted his head and moved closer to Chu Jie.
He whispered, "Has Chu Liangliang always been like this?"
Chu Jie also tilted his head and whispered, "Yes."
Chu Yao’s bottom line towards Chen Tang is that there is no bottom line.
The rare good looks he showed to himself were all because of Chen Tang.
Wei Shou: “…”
He was so jealous that he gritted his teeth and his cheeks were tense.
At the same time, he also had a new understanding of Shen Tang.
I can vaguely understand why Chu Yao likes it so much.
Let alone the world after the advent of the thief star, if we count the times before, there were natural disasters and man-made disasters every year, and famines occurred from time to time in various places, but no one died out. Grit your teeth and hold on until the next spring ploughing, then there will be hope for life and you will survive.
As for how many people will die in this process...
Just close your eyes, don't care, and don't look.
It is a very cruel reality, and Mr. Shen is an ideal.
Gu Chi was the one who knew best that Chen Tang was filled with murderous intent at this moment, and he also advised: "Anger is harmful to the body, my lord, calm down."
Being angry is the worst way to solve problems.
After being persuaded by everyone, Shen Tang managed to calm down.
But a deadlock is still a deadlock.
food
Chen Tang couldn’t come up with enough surplus grain to supply half the state.
Take people away
There isn't that much arable land in Chen Tang's territory.
Because they have been actively absorbing refugees in recent years, the arable land in Longwu County has long been saturated, and they were worried about it, and Qiu Cheng, this big enemy, came to them. However, there are only two more counties, Sibao County and Minfeng County. Compared with the population, the arable land is not very rich overall.
If we bring the hungry people back...
Not to mention that in this era, manpower is wealth. The allies of the Alliance Army will not agree. Even if they agree, Shen Tang will be setting herself on fire. Because she has settled the problem of food for the hungry people, but cannot provide them with enough work to occupy their free time. When they are idle, they will become a security threat. Theft, adultery, robbery, kidnapping... will reach a peak.
If public security is unstable, civil unrest is bound to occur.
so-
Chen Tang showed a rare trace of confusion.
He murmured as if asking for help: "What should I do?"
"What on earth should I do..."
As confused as a child lost at the street corner.
When Chen Tang beat up Tao Yan, wasn't he also holding himself accountable
Because of Tao Yan's questioning, she couldn't give an answer.
Xu Quan said: "... Lord, if it is really impossible, you can ask your cousin? Maybe your cousin can raise enough food..."
Everyone: “…”
It is Xu Jie's "blessing" to have such a cousin.
No matter how capable Xu Wenzhu is or how wealthy his family is, the food gap is enough to feed half a state, or hundreds of thousands of people, for a year.
Even if Xu Jie sold everything he had, he couldn't make up for it. Even if he really had a brainwave and sold everything he had to help, how would his lord Wu Xian view it? Wu Xian's military rations and baggage were deliberately delayed by Xu Jie, who stepped on the time to collect them.
Ning Yan said suddenly: "Maybe there is a way."
Shen Tang quickly turned his gaze towards her.
Ning Yan said: "The person who tied the bell must be the one who can untie it."
Chen Tang asked, "Who?"
"Zheng Qiao."
Ning Yan uttered an unexpected name.
She added quickly, "Of course he won't help us, but if he dies and we get his national seal, my lord might be able to use the National Destiny Order to control the weather in half of Yanzhou. To make the grains mature faster... I wonder if it's feasible?"
Ning Yan was unsure about this suggestion.
And the operation is very difficult.
To get the national seal would be to become the loss of all.
The most ideal plan is to get the national seal, operate successfully, and then divert the blame to the coalition forces, making them mistakenly believe that the national seal is lost or taken by one of their forces. The more they suspect each other and fight among themselves, the safer their situation will be...
Although Yun Ce is not here today, there is still an outsider in her home, so Ning Yan has to think twice before she dares to say some words.
Shen Tang thought about it for a moment and gave his affirmation.
"Whether it's feasible or not, it's always a solution."
It's much better than just staring.
Chen Tang calmed down and said to Chu Yao, "Wuhui, write a letter now and send it to Yuanliang as soon as possible. Ask him to count and see how much grain the granary can spare. When the autumn harvest comes this year, if there is any surplus grain in the hands of the farmers, buy it all up. Collect it and ship it all here. Tunan's suggestion seems feasible, but we still have to make preparations for emergencies... I can't force others to say or do anything, but what I, Chen Youli, want is to have a clear conscience."
Chu Yao and others were all moved.
He bowed and accepted the order: "Yes."
Chen Tang raised his hand and rubbed his face fiercely: "Let's do this for now, it's getting late, everyone should do what they need to do."
She needs time to calm down.
Chen Tang prepared for the worst, but she still underestimated the difficulty of reality—they took down the first target smoothly along the way, and the target was only symbolically defended for half a day. After the battle, the team counted and miraculously there were not many casualties...
Chen Tang: "When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on."
The wind was very strong.
