Chapter Fifty One More Rejection

() Yunfeng looked at Pei Shao seriously, and after a long time he smiled slightly and said: "The husband of the Pei family is a man of great talent. He is worthy of being a member of a century-old family. Come on, please excuse me."

Pei Shao thanked him and stood up. Pei Song added: "The king broke the stone tiger a while ago, which is really inspiring. I brought my dog ​​here just to congratulate the king." Then he took out a gift list from his arms and presented it to him.

superior

He said: "Your Majesty is fighting Jiehu on the front line, but I, the Pei family, cannot do my best. I feel very uneasy, so I have prepared a small gift. Thousands of people from my Pei family have come to work for the army. I would like to ask your Majesty to accept it."

,

"Another one giving money?" Yunfeng felt quite dumbfounded. He took it and took a look. The gift list stated: 50,000 dans of wheat, 50,000 dans of corn, 5,000 sheep, and 1,000 pigs!

Pei Song explained: "I just want to go ahead. According to the itinerary, grain, rice, pigs and sheep can be sent to the army tomorrow."

Yunfeng suddenly realized that the reason why Pei came to show his goodwill was simply because he had defeated Shi Hu and fully demonstrated the effect of his strength. Therefore, he took advantage of the lack of food in his army to show his goodwill in time to join the team as early as possible.

After Pei, there will be other powerful people coming to give gifts.

It is impossible to say that Yunfeng is not moved. Whether Queen Ren can write a letter home is still a question. She does not have the right to dispose of Ren's property, but what Pei Song sent is real food and grass!

The Qin army was provided with ten liters of grain per person per day, and one stone was equal to one hundred liters. In other words, the 100,000 stones of grain and grass sent by Pei Song plus pigs and sheep were enough to feed the entire army of nearly 150,000 people for eight to nine days.

It greatly alleviates the food pressure in the army and can be called a timely rain.

However, Yunfeng's heartbeat was only a momentary one. The re-elected Queen Yu politely declined the financial sponsorship, so naturally she would not accept the food and grass sent by the Pei family. He also had the same worry. On the other hand, he and the Ren family

not in substance

Due to the conflict of interests, the Ren family only has the possibility of speculation, but unlike the Guanzhong clan, it is a real matter of land distribution. Many issues such as the release of slaves and maidservants need to be solved urgently. If we accept it now, it will be more difficult to deal with in the future.

Suppressing the fatal temptation, Yunfeng shook his head and said: "Mr. Pei's kindness is appreciated, but I can't accept the grain, rice and livestock alone, so please take them back."

Pei Song regarded Yunfeng's refusal as polite. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be too little. My abilities as Pei's are limited. I only try my best to defeat the Jie thief. Please, Your Majesty, please don't

I have to refuse!"

Yunfeng waved his hand: "Mr. Pei, I am very pleased that you have such intention. It is impossible to have any thoughts of dissatisfaction with the shortage. However, the grain and rice really cannot be accepted in vain. If Mr. Pei is serious, he might as well

This relief to the refugees is the greatest help to the orphans."

Pei Song's smile immediately stiffened and he looked at Pei Shao unconsciously. Pei Shao was also very surprised. Yunfeng's expression was solemn and solemn, with no hint of courtesy. The father and son stared at each other for a moment.

His eyes were full of disbelief!

The King of Qin didn't even want the food delivered to his door! Since ancient times, the most lacking thing in battles was food and grass. There was no precedent for civilian laborers to be refused. In their imagination, the King of Qin should say polite words such as no reward for no merit.

, and then he tried to persuade him a few words, but because of the turbid atmosphere, he accepted it half-heartedly. Does this person know how to deal with others?

You know, Liu Yao tried his best to get money and food from the hands of big Wubao owners like us!

With this confusion, Pei Song refused to give up and said: "Your Majesty, the food and grass are on the way and can be delivered tomorrow. It may not be appropriate to send them back again. How about making an exception and accepting them?"

When he said this, Pei Song secretly looked at the change in Yunfeng's expression, and felt quite uncomfortable in his heart. Liu Yao stretched out his hand to ask for money and food, but he wouldn't give it if he couldn't. If it didn't work, he would pick out some to send him away.

Now I take the initiative to deliver food, but I still have to ask others to receive it.

If Pei Song had the opportunity to travel to Yunfeng's previous life, then he would definitely sigh: It's not that I don't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast!

Yunfeng was silent for a moment, which gave Pei Song a glimmer of hope. Maybe this is this person's style of dealing with things? Anyway, just accept it.

In Pei Song's expectation, Yunfeng nodded and said: "Mr. Pei's words make sense. It's hundreds of miles away and it's quite inconvenient to carry a large amount of food and grass back and forth. But I didn't think carefully enough. So let's leave the food and grass for the time being."

Accepting it is just a loan, and it will be returned within two years!"

Pei Song was startled and ran over excitedly. He didn't expect this result. Borrowing food and sending food are fundamentally different. Giving food is a real act of kindness. He can talk to him if he asks for something.

Borrowing food means I lend it to you and repay it. After repaying it, the two have nothing to do with each other. It is a transactional relationship.

Pei Song is not aware that one hundred thousand shi of grain, five thousand sheep, and one thousand pigs may appear to be an astonishing number at first glance. In fact, it only takes a few days to feed an army of more than one hundred thousand people. Pei will not waste this small amount of grain.

In my eyes, compared with the Qin State, which has four and a half states, it only costs nine thousand and ten cents to survive this period of spring famine. If I had known that this would be the result, it would be better not to come.

Pei Song was quite frustrated, but with the last glimmer of hope, he persuaded again: "Your Majesty, why don't you think about it? I, Mr. Pei, are really here just for the labor of the army!"

Yunfeng couldn't help but secretly laugh. Pei Song's last sentence revealed his true thoughts. He really had other intentions. Who in the world would give money to others for nothing? Ordinary people may have some intentions out of gratitude for serving the country.

This possibility is absolutely impossible for powerful families and large households! Without consideration of interests, who would be so stupid?

Yunfeng's face immediately darkened, and he emphasized his tone: "Mr. Pei, there is no need to say more. If you don't want to borrow from me, I won't force you to do so. In short, you can get what you want, but not the food!"

Pei Song felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body. He looked at each other and his second son, and reluctantly raised his hands: "Since the king insists, let me lend it to you. Now that everything is over, my father and son will leave now."

.”

"Mr. Pei, please wait a moment!" Yunfeng smiled slightly: "You are a guest when you come from afar, so why should Mr. Pei return in such a hurry? You might as well stay for a day and enjoy the friendship of the landlord, not to mention that the food and grass will be delivered tomorrow.

, after the inventory and verification, I have to present an IOU to Mr. Pei."

To be honest, Pei Song originally planned to grease the soles of his feet and leave first, throwing down the food and grass before talking about it later. But at this time, Yunfeng pointed out his thoughts and had to smile bitterly: "The old man is respectful, so it's better to obey your orders."

"

Yunfeng nodded noncommittally and suddenly asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Pei, has anyone from Shihu been sent to contact you, Mr. Pei, recently?"

"Ah? No, no, it's absolutely not the case!" Pei Song denied it.

Yunfeng smiled mysteriously: "There is no best, I just asked casually, Mr. Pei doesn't need to take it to heart, okay, Mr. Pei has come all the way, and it's time to rest, so don't bother me for a while.

, there will be a banquet in the evening." Then he shouted out: "Come here, please invite Mr. Pei and the husband of the Pei family to settle in the back village, don't neglect them!"

"Yes!" The two guards hurriedly walked into the tent.

Pei Song pulled Pei Shao to salute and said, "My father and son thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yunfeng cupped his hands and said, "If you are interested, Mr. Pei, you can walk around the camp and talk to the soldiers at will. Please! Please forgive me for not sending me far."

"Your Majesty, please stay!" The Pei family and his son both returned the salute and followed the guards out of the Chinese army's tent.

Although the sun was shining brightly outside, Pei Song felt a chill in his heart. Yunfeng's last seemingly casual inquiry was actually a solemn warning. Coincidentally, there was someone sent by Shi Hu in his Wubao.

Lobbyist.

Although Pei Song prefers Yunfeng to occupy Guanzhong, there is always an uncertainty in everything. What if Yunfeng loses to Shihu? Therefore, he did not kill or expel the Shihu envoys, but used beauties and wine to control them in disguise.

This person is isolated from the rest of the world and only excuses himself from discussing with many elders in the clan. Please wait patiently for a few days.

"Father, what are they doing? We saw it when we came here. Why is the whole camp like this?" Pei Shao's question interrupted Pei Song's thinking. He couldn't help but look around. There were sergeants squatting all over the camp.

On the ground, you either knock and dig with a small shovel, or you carefully load the floating soil on the ground into a basket and transport it to a distant place.

Pei Song was also puzzled and couldn't help asking the personal guard: "Excuse me, general, if you can help my father and son clear up their doubts? Oh, if it's inconvenient, it's okay."

The guard said casually: "It's nothing. When we captured Shihu Camp a while ago, a large number of kerosene bombs were used. The kerosene bombs are highly toxic, and the incompletely burned residues will pollute the soil and water sources. Therefore, the king personally took the lead.

Lead the whole army to clean up this place.

Mr. Pei, you see, the old site of Jianzhang Palace has pleasant scenery and dense water network. It is a rare geomantic treasure land in Guanzhong. Wouldn’t it be a pity to waste it in vain? The king once said that even if it is not used as fertile land in the future, it must be used as fertile land.

Pavilions and pavilions were built, exotic flowers and plants were planted, and the ruins were repaired for the people of Chang'an to come here for outings in their spare time."

"Oh?" Pei Song said calmly: "I was wrong. Didn't the king renovate the palace?"

The guard pointed forward and smiled: "Isn't there Weiyang Palace there? Your Majesty has made it clear many times that Weiyang Palace is wide enough and there is no need to occupy fertile farmland and waste people's energy."

The reason why Jianzhang Palace was abandoned for more than 300 years was that firstly, it was vast in scope and the project was huge. Secondly, the later Han Dynasty did not plan to establish the capital of Chang'an. Although Emperor Min ascended the throne in Chang'an, it was surrounded by crises and had no time to take care of it. Liu Yao

The battles are endless and there is no room for action. The temporary abandonment does not mean that the latter two have no intention of building Zhang Palace. This piece of land is indeed the most efficient piece of land in Chang'an City.

Now that Yunfeng actually wants to use Jianzhang Palace for the use of the people, Pei Song couldn't help but his eyes flashed with surprise, and he sincerely praised: "The king is a public servant, and he is truly a benevolent king. The people of Chang'an should be grateful and weep."

The guard smiled faintly, without comment, and then signaled: "Mr. Pei, in front of us is the camp arranged for you and Lang Jun. The army is simple and simple. Please be patient. The two of us will not go there. If you need anything, please just give us your orders."

yes."

Pei Song cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare bother you. I have to thank the two generals for leading the way."
