Chapter 1301

Water?

Where's the water?

Nie Xun's drowsy brain seemed to have been cut off by something. He immediately woke up a lot and grabbed a person.

"Where did the water go?"

The man didn't recognize Nie Xun's identity. He hurried to put out the fire with a bucket and hurried back, "the grain depot has run out of water."

Nie Xun didn't return to his mind for a long time. He didn't seem to hear what the other party said clearly.

At this time, the military doctor in charge of taking care of Nie Xun found that he was missing and hurried out to find someone.

The military doctor took two and three steps and came forward to hold Nie Xun. "Military master, where have you been - you haven't cooled down yet!"

Nie Xun grabbed the arm of the military doctor with his backhand, stared at each other with bloodshot eyes, and asked word by word, "where is the water?"

The military doctor looked sluggish and was very embarrassed. "Military division, your body and bones are very important. Don't worry about it for the time being. Several generals have sent people to put out the fire, and the fire will be controlled soon. Don't worry, you can go back to the camp to have a rest now and deal with it tomorrow."

Nie Xun's voice was abrupt and sharp, and he asked fiercely, "where is the water?"

The military doctor replied with red eyes, "yes, it's a grain depot -"

Nie Xun got this answer and choked in his throat. He saw the sky spinning in front of him, his sight changing from light to dark, and soon became unconscious.

The fire didn't go out until dawn, and less than one percent of the food rescued from the fire.

The next afternoon, Nie Xun, who was as angry as a hairspring, finally climbed out of the gate of hell and woke up. However, his energy and spirit were much worse than before. His eyebrows and eyes were haggard. The military doctor who took care of him also found several white and gray hair on his head. The whole person was white and old.

"The military division, the military division woke up -"

"The military master is awake!"

Nie Xun was so tired that he couldn't even speak, but he still sat up and looked at the crowd slowly.

"Last night, the grain depot ran out of water. Can you find out why?"

Because of the high fever, Nie Xun's voice is dry and hoarse. It doesn't sound like a man in his prime of life, but more like an old man.

Several generals, you look at me and I look at you. No one dares to stand out and answer.

Nie Xun was not in a hurry, but looked around them with cold eyes.

He asked another question, "is the fire under control?"

A deputy general hesitated and said, "it's gone."

Nie Xun asked again, "how much food have you saved?"

The deputy general said, "the fire was fierce last night, the night wind was strong, and the recent dry and muggy weather made it difficult to contain the fire..." Nie Xun looked at him in silence. The deputy general was ashamed and ashamed by him, so he simply said to himself, "the grain and grass were burned seriously, and there is no one in a hundred!"

When he finished, the people stared at him with accusatory eyes.

The situation of the military division is very bad. I don't know how to speak tactfully. What should I do if I really annoy the other party?

Nie Xun didn't faint. He seemed to have been pulled away from his spine. His back and shoulders collapsed and looked depressed.

"One hundred does not save one..."

He murmured and repeated, and it was sad to hear.

Originally, it could last until the autumn harvest, and Chenzhou could survive for a while. Unexpectedly, a fire burned all the only military grain.

With a long sigh, he knew that there was no way to fight the war. Chen Zhou had no choice but to surrender.

Nie Xun can stick to the end, but the soldiers with low morale can endure hunger and stick to Chenzhou?

He repeated, "the reason why the grain depot ran out of water can be found out?"

The people looked at each other and finally chose one person to stand up and answer.

"Check, check -"

Nie Xun asked, "what's going on?"

In order to prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks on the grain depot, Nie Xun sent heavy troops to guard, the patrol was rotated every quarter of an hour, and the location of the grain depot was a secret among the secrets. Why did the enemy succeed in burning the grain depot under strict prevention? If it weren't for man-made disasters, would it be difficult or natural disasters?

The deputy general Qi Aiai held back a few words for a long time and slowly pieced together a complete process. Nie Xun sent someone to arrest the black hearted rice merchants. He arrested many rice merchants and confiscated their grain reserves on the grounds of "rice merchants make rumors to peddle Chen rice".

Those who have capital to hoard so much food and make war money in troubled times will not be small merchants.

Among the arrested rice merchants, one is a rich man in Chenzhou. His family has been doing business for generations and has accumulated a lot of family wealth.

In order to redeem the arrested relatives, mishang's brother was willing to exchange 200000 stone grain reserves.

The local tyrant is worthy of being a local tyrant. He sold 200000 stones. It happened that Chenzhou was in urgent need of food. This business can't be let go.

Nie Xun rubbed his eyebrows, thought hard, and finally found the relevant memory.

That's what he allowed.

Rice merchants took the opportunity to bid up grain prices. Although it is hateful, many rice merchants have backstage behind them. They either open rice shops at the instigation of local gentry or have business dealings with gentry. Nie Xun could not kill all of them no matter how angry he was. He had to choose accommodation and release them by paying a certain ransom.

Mishang's brother redeemed his brother with 200000 stone grain, but he couldn't get together so much grain at one time, so he had to send it from other places. The first batch of grain is enough for 50000 stones, and the other 150000 stones can only be redeemed by issuing an IOU first.

Nie Xun asked, "fifty thousand stone grain? It was checked when it was put into storage?"

The deputy general said, "they all checked carefully. Each bag is true."

Fifty thousand stone grain is a huge quantity. Naturally, it is impossible to open every bag and pour it out for inspection. Only random inspection can be carried out.

Food resistant cooks can also judge whether there is real food through touch.

Unexpectedly, the granary caught fire that night.

With the help of the night wind, the fire was swift and violent.

The fire was put out all night, and there was no one in the grain depot.

When the deputy general sent troops to catch the rice merchant, he fled with his family last night and couldn't catch it.

"Sure enough, I lost." Nie Xun raised his lips sarcastically.

The deputy general was at a loss and said, "military division, we still have to find a way now."

Nie Xun said with a bitter smile, "the saved food is not enough for the whole army to chew for a day or two. What's the use of trying again?"

There is no way to fight unless the immortal can produce food out of thin air.

At this moment, Nie Xun hoped that Feng Jin could lead soldiers to fight, at least pulling a few cushions before he died.

However, Feng Jin failed to fulfill his intention. Instead of sending troops to attack, he sent someone to light a fire and cook in front of the battle.

Feng Jin said, "it's not a loss to exchange 50000 stone grain and grass for a state."

Meng Hun said with a smile, "in order to cling to the Lord, the merchant not only doesn't want us to pay for the 50000 stone grain and grass, but also wants to give 200000 as a gift."

Dongqing's situation became more and more clear, and these merchants began to stand in line to invest, but their Lord was not so easy to cling to.

Feng Jin said, "if you don't accept it, you have to ask the Lord first."

Merchants and merchants pursue profits, and few people have a heart.

They have only interests and money in their eyes. It is normal for businessmen with a keen sense of smell to take advantage of the opportunity to defecte.

Feng Jin uses SHANG Jia Zhuli's mind to give Nie Xun a heavy dose of medicine.

Chenzhou, it's over!
