Chapter 138 Transportation

In modern times, no one would even want stale grains to feed pigs.

But in the ancient world, no one would dislike anything as long as it was food.

Besides, Yan Jing also helped him order a batch of compressed biscuits.

"As I said, self-sufficiency in food is still the best option," Jun Qiulan said. "Right now, our food and fodder should be enough to last until next autumn's harvest."

In fact, it is not enough.

If there is no war, it would be barely enough, but they will definitely fight with the imperial court next.

Fighting a war requires even more food.

However, Jun Qiulan also thought of a solution.

He briefly talked to Yan Jing about it.

Occupy the city, and the local officials surrender. As long as they don't do anything evil, the status quo can be maintained for the time being. The only thing is that you will need to implement their policies and laws in the future.

But local wealthy businessmen are more frightened.

Throughout history, whenever there was a war or a rebellion, the first targets were local officials, followed by wealthy businessmen.

In order to save their lives, many wealthy businessmen are even willing to give up more than half of their wealth.

Can it be considered as a hero who knows the times?

They don't want these, they just want food.

Of course, this is only limited to wealthy businessmen with clean backgrounds. It will be considered a donation and they will be credited.

For those who are rich but unkind or have committed crimes, there is no need to say more, just have their property confiscated.

In this way, they can get timely supplies of money and food.

Yan Jing's eyes were filled with admiration: "Lanlan is still smart."

Although they need to implement the administrator's ideas, they also need to adapt to local conditions.

Their idea is not to take a single needle or thread from the people, but at the same time to punish evil and promote good.

They talked a lot these days.

The real ancient world was actually several times more cruel than what we see in books.

"By the way, the compressed biscuits we ordered earlier should be delivered today. Can your warehouse hold them?"

"It should be fine." The one million kilograms of grain he had ordered earlier were all loaded.

Yan Jingzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."

He glanced at Jun Qiulan and said, "Does my boyfriend mind waiting for me to get off work?"

Jun Qiulan's scenes that needed to be re-shot have been completed, but Yan Jing's work for the day is not over yet.

What can we do?

Just wait.

Jun Qiulan raised his eyelids, signaling Yan Jing to go ahead and get busy while he thought about the last few scenes.

The two of them have a tacit understanding and can understand each other with just a glance.

After the filming was completely finished, the two got in the car and went directly to the warehouse.

He took Jun Qiulan's car directly, which was the RV that Yan Jing sold to Jun Qiulan.

Recently, Tang Te feels that he might lose his job. Why does his boss always ride in Jun Qiulan’s car?

As an assistant and driver, he now only has the job of an assistant.

He wasn't actually going to lose his job.

The main reason was that Yan Jing took into consideration her boyfriend's secret, and Liu Yue was half-informed, so they didn't need to be too cautious.

The fewer people who know this secret, the better.

In the warehouse, several strong masters are unloading goods.

Jun Qiulan opened a box and took out a few small packages.

"Try it."

I haven’t had dinner yet.

Yan Jing was just about to say that they would go back to the city for dinner after delivering the supplies, when her boyfriend took out the compressed biscuits, probably to try them?

After all, the compressed biscuits he ordered were different from the takeaway he ordered before.

The ones he ordered were almost military grade.

Liu Yue also took a piece and chewed it with a crunch, while taking a look at the ingredient list on the package.

"Oh my god, this thing is not only filling, but also rich in nutrients."

Yan Jing smiled and explained, "Theoretically, if a person eats these cookies for a lifetime, they can still obtain all the nutrients needed by humans."

Liu Yue nodded, thinking that Lanlan might have to deliver something later, "Then I'll leave first. Lanlan, call me after you finish your business."

She has always been very sensible.

Jun Qiulan nodded, "Drive slower."

Yan Jing wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally realized something was wrong.

He waited until the truck drivers had finished unloading the goods before he started asking.

"Lanlan, how are you going to deliver these things?"

Jun Qiulan was still chewing on compressed biscuits. Transporting supplies was a very strenuous job.

Yan Jing had asked him to train his abdominal muscles before, and he maintained them very well. It’s hard to say that it wasn’t due to the several times he carried supplies.

He said with some helplessness: "I have to deliver it myself."

Although I have found a more convenient way to transport the goods, and I can carry a few more boxes or sacks at a time, I still have to deliver them myself.

Yan Jing opened his mouth and said, "There are so many, are you moving them by yourself?"

A few masters who were unloading goods were busy for a while just now. How long will it take for one person to move in?

If this isn't the point, wouldn't it make people tired to the point of fainting?

Jun Qiulan demonstrated it to him and it seemed that it could carry seven or eight boxes at a time.

Yan Jing looked at the pile of compressed biscuits and asked, "Have you ever tried other methods?"

Jun Qiulan explained, "This is probably a restriction imposed by the mysterious power, telling me not to over-rely on the supplies here. By the way, it also protects the supplies of this world?"

Not being able to bring people with him before was a restriction, but it was also meant to spur him to work hard on his career.

As long as they work hard to change their hometown, the restrictions will be lifted now?

As for transporting supplies, nothing has changed.

Judging from several tests, there is actually no limit to the supplies he can transport?

Or is it that the amount of supplies he has transported has not yet reached the limit?

But no matter what, no matter how much supplies there were, he had to carry them himself, over and over again.

It probably limits him from being overly dependent on the material supplies of this world, and he still has to be self-sufficient.

"I wouldn't have thought so much if I had known." Yan Jing felt distressed.

Jun Qiulan: "It's okay. I was carrying supplies alone before. Now at least someone is with me."

"What's going on on the other side?"

Jun Qiulan: "General Huo has arranged for someone to pick us up."

Yan Jing nodded, and then said, "Take me with you and try it."

Jun Qiulan's way of carrying things now is almost like hugging a big tree. He can carry everything that his body can touch at once.

Yan Jing followed him, and his expensive clothes were immediately covered with dust.

"Look, maybe it's okay to hold my hand when you travel through time?"

Jun Qiulan hesitated for a moment, but decided to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, this experiment was successful.

If two people work together, the efficiency will be greatly improved and time can be saved.

Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing traveled back and forth repeatedly. "Theoretically, if I hold someone else's hand with my left hand, can it be even faster?"

Yan Jing's eyes were deep: "Since it's Bai, who else do you want to hold your hand? Who else do you want to take with you through time?"

Jun Qiulan was helpless and amused, "Have you run out of jealousy?"

Yan Jing also smiled: "The main reason is that your situation is not suitable for too many people to know."

"I know." Jun Qiulan was only thinking about Liu Yue just now.

He did not keep the fact that he brought Yan Jing through time a secret from Liu Yue, and he had promised Liu Yue before that he would take her to see it when he had the chance.

Some time ago, Jun Qiulan saw her buying several sets of Hanfu, and it was obvious that she had great expectations for the trip to ancient times.

After Yan Jing considered it, he asked, "Why don't you ask her to come?"

Mainly because I don’t want to tire my boyfriend.

With such a large warehouse, not to mention Lanlan alone, even if it were the two of them, they would probably have to work until late at night.

Jun Qiulan hesitated for a moment, but still called Liu Yue.

Liu Yue was always ready to pick up her boss. When she received the call, she took the car keys and went out.

When she arrived at the place, she found out why the boss had called her there.

Although I felt honored and looking forward to it, I really didn't expect that she would come here to work as a porter today.

Yan Jing was very wealthy and said, "I'll give Miss Liu a bonus later."

Liu Yue rolled up his sleeves and started working: "Lanlan, tell me, how do we move it?"

Jun Qiulan took Yan Jing to demonstrate it.

This was his first time traveling through time in front of someone other than Qing Heng and Yan Jing.

Liu Yue watched the two of them disappear together, taking away more than a dozen boxes of compressed biscuits, with surprise in his eyes.

This is amazing.

After a few seconds, the two came back.

Seeing the shock in Liu Yue's eyes, Jun Qiulan was also quite amused.

"So, could Sister Yue please help? There are so many things to do today."

Liu Yue had helped him collect supplies several times, but he had never thought that all these supplies needed to be carried personally.

She thought there was some space, so she waved her hand, gathered all the supplies, and then took them over.

"Okay." Liu Yue didn't hesitate.

The postures of the three people are a little funny.

However, it must be said that it is indeed much faster.

The people arranged by Huo Lian were guarding outside, and when they heard the movement in the house, they remained motionless.

In this regard, Huo Yan was actually very powerful. A group of palace soldiers were willing to follow him through life and death and trusted him unconditionally.

The compressed biscuits you brought with you don’t need to be neatly stacked together, just pile them up randomly.

There are only three of them, and their energy and physical strength are limited.

Yan Jing and Jun Qiulan had been to ancient times several times, and their curiosity had worn off.

But Liu Yue was the first to come back.

Although she was busy moving things, her eyes were always observing this ancient warehouse.

It's quite magical.

Jun Qiulan noticed it and said, "After we are done and the danger is over, I will bring Sister Yue over to play. Please keep it a secret for me, Sister Yue."

Liu Yue has a cheerful personality: "Don't worry, Lanlan. I haven't even mentioned this to my parents."

If Liu Yue wasn't trustworthy, Jun Qiulan wouldn't have brought her here.

Let’s talk about the most realistic problem. Even if Liu Yue tells this to others one day, who would believe it?

There is no video evidence.

The three of them moved for more than two hours and finally reached the bottom.

Traveling back and forth all the time makes my head spin.

After traveling through time again, there was another person in the room.

He was dressed in armor, tall and mighty, yet with a murderous aura.

Liu Yue subconsciously hid behind Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing.

"Don't worry, Sister Yue. This is one of us, General Huo."

Jun Qiulan explained, then asked, "General, how come you have time to come back today?"

Before, we communicated via walkie-talkie.

This time, Huo Lian saw with his own eyes that Jun Qiulan and his men had traveled through time, and he felt more confident.

His family is also safer.

"You mentioned earlier that this was a new variety of durable finished grain. I was curious and came to take a look."

He looked at Yan Jing again: "Is this Mr. Yan?"

Jun Qiulan nodded, "It's my love."

Jun Qiulan learned the word "lover" on the Internet.

I have to say that Yan Jing benefited a lot from it.

He extended his hand and said, "General Huo, I've heard a lot about you."

Huo Lian didn't understand, but he also stretched out his hand like him.

Yan Jing shook hands back: "This is the etiquette over there, the handshake. I haven't learned the etiquette over here yet."

Huo Lian's mood was a little complicated.

The word "lover" is actually not difficult to explain what it means.

Jun Qiulan has never been married. His wife has mentioned this issue and has suspected that Jun Qiulan is a homosexual.

I didn't expect it to be true.

Then he thought again, Jun Yu only has one son, Jun Qiulan. Given Jun Qiulan's personality, he would definitely not find another woman to have children with. How could he continue the family line then?

It has to be said that Huo Lian still has traditional male thinking.

But he was also open-minded. He thought that Jun Yu and Madam Song loved their son and daughter, so at worst they could find a son-in-law for Jun Shuwan in the future.

Then he began to wonder, who would inherit the foundation they had built?

Jun Qiulan is a leader, there is no doubt about that.

Then he was in a trance again. Yes, their new idea, the new world they wanted to create, was without an emperor.

No inheritance is required.

Huo Yan didn't ask any more questions. "Thank you for your help, Mr. Yan. How many compressed biscuits are left?"

It doesn't seem like much to him.

At least in the military camp, it is estimated that each person may not even get a piece.

Jun Qiulan: "This food is for emergencies, for troops on a forced march, for scouts going out to explore, etc."

He opened a piece and gave it to Huo Yan: "Eat one piece, I guarantee you won't be hungry until tomorrow morning."

Huo Lian looked at the snack in front of him that was not even half as good as his slap, and was a little unconvinced.

But he believed in Jun Qiulan.

Take a crunchy bite and it's fragrant, crispy, salty and sweet.

It’s quite delicious.

"Those naughty boys must be so happy." He smiled.

Jun Qiulan smiled and said, "Then please wait a little longer, General. We will finish moving in a little while."

They went back and forth again. Fortunately, the warehouse prepared by Huo Lian was large enough. In the end, there was only a small space left, enough for them to sit on the ground.

Take a break.

All three of them were actually very tired.

Huo Lian gave some instructions outside, and hot tea and snacks were soon delivered.

"Take a break." Huo Lian was also a rough man, so he could only entertain everyone simply.

Liu Yue was still a little timid about this ancient general.

In the past, she didn’t understand why some people said: You can tell from the blood on this person’s hands that he has killed someone.

Now she understood.

"Who is this little girl?"

There was no introduction before, mainly because Liu Yue was hiding, and Jun Qiulan didn't know whether Liu Yue was willing to make friends with ancient people.

"I'm Liu Yue." Although Liu Yue was still nervous, she introduced herself: "I'm Jun, Master Jun's assistant. I usually help him with his daily chores."

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Liu." Huo Lian gave another order outside.

Let’s get down to business.

"I came back this time because the situation on the battlefield is probably coming to an end and the food has arrived. As for Uncle Jin, I have to deal with him."

To be honest, Huo Lan came to the border town when he was a teenager and participated in many battles, big and small.

This is the first time that we have fought such an easy battle.

The enemy had almost sent out their entire army, and since they had gunpowder, their victory was effortless.

This gunpowder is simple and the ingredients are not difficult to find. The team he arranged produced it day and night.

The quantity produced is more than enough for frying fish, not only for fighting wars.

Anyway, as long as the enemy attacks, they will cover them with firepower, disrupt the enemy's formation first, and then attack again.

It also reduced the casualties of their own soldiers.

The morale of the soldiers was also high.

They had never fought such a rich war.

Although they had experienced a drought this year, this was the only time they went to the battlefield with a full stomach.

Now, the war is almost over, and the other side may submit a letter of surrender in the near future.

But this matter needs to be resolved internally by them, and it certainly cannot be reported to the court.

In short, the current situation is that Uncle Jin can no longer stay.

Such a person deserves to be put to death.

Jun Qiulan thought for a moment, "How is the situation with Lord Wang Shuo?"

"Wang Shuo is a smart man. After watching two battles as a military supervisor, he never went back. Now when he has free time, he goes to have tea with Mr. Su."

Jun Qiulan nodded, "After all, they are from the capital, so we still have to be on guard."

"clear."

Jun Qiulan added, "I'll leave the affairs of Uncle Jin to General Huo. My family has troubled Madam to take care of them for so long."

Huo Lian waved his hand and said, "We are all comrades and brothers. Let's not say such awkward words."

At the beginning, when Huo Lan knew about Su Changxun and Jun Qiulan's plan, he was actually conflicted.

Their family has been stationed at the border for generations, and who sits on the throne has nothing to do with them, but they still hope that the emperor can be more wise and allow the soldiers to fight without worries.

But no emperor did it.

The imperial court was even more corrupt.

There was not enough food and fodder, and there were losses during the escort process. If they encountered corrupt officials, they would have to embezzle some of it.

It was almost normal for soldiers to fight on an empty stomach.

But Jun Qiulan promised him that the soldiers would have enough food to eat and their families would also have enough food and clothing.

Now, only a year has passed, and Jun Qiulan has already achieved it.

In fact, he knew that according to Jun Qiulan's plan, the current level was still far from what they were pursuing, but for them, it was already rare.

Now we just have to wait for Jun Qiulan to go to Beijing to pick up his old mother and children.

After hearing what Huo Lian said today, Jun Qiulan felt more at ease.

"I still need to make some arrangements for the trip to the capital, so please be patient, General."

As for the battle in the border town, based on everyone's experience, no one in the court would have thought that their war would end so quickly.

As long as the news of their great victory was concealed, the imperial court would not take action against the general's mansion and would even provide him with good food and drink.

Huo Lian understood this principle.

"After all, I leave my old mother and children to you."

"Don't worry, General."

Liu Yue listened silently for a long time. Is Lanlan going to rebel with the general of the border town?

She had previously thought that Lanlan should be a noble young man, perhaps even a prominent figure.

So now they want to rebel?

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Jun Qiulan smiled and said, "I'll explain it to you when I have a chance."

Liu Yue nodded dazedly.

At this time, the person Huo Lian ordered came back and brought a brocade box.

"It's our first time meeting, young lady. Thank you for helping me transport the supplies. This is a small token of my wife's appreciation. There aren't many good things in this world, so please don't despise it, young lady Liu."

Liu Yue was even more dizzy because of this surprise.

"Sister Yue, please accept it." Jun Qiulan teased, "Why doesn't my lover, Mr. Yan, have a gift?"

Huo Yan waved his hand. "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to give a gift to your man? Besides, Mr. Yan's bearing suggests he must be from a wealthy or noble family. I'm a rough man, so I've ordered a dagger to be prepared, but it won't arrive for a few days."

Yan Jing smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, General."

He casually took off his watch and handed it over. "It's a time teller, accurate to the moment of a breath. General, please don't mind that this is something I used."

Huo Lian was really interested. "How do I use this thing?"

Yan Jing began to explain.

Jun Qiulan handed the brocade box to Liu Yue and asked, "See if you like it?"

Liu Yue opened the box and almost couldn't breathe.

It turned out to be a jade bracelet, translucent and with green flowers all over it.

If a bracelet of this quality were put into modern times, it would probably sell for tens or even millions, right?

Jun Qiulan was not surprised, but in fact, this kind of bracelet was not too expensive in their world.

"Just accept it, Sister Yue."

Yan Jing also saw this, and it had to be said that reselling in this high-end way was indeed the fastest way to accumulate wealth.

A few people chatted about the follow-up and returned to the modern era without wasting any more time.

Yan Jing also took the opportunity to bring up this matter.

Jun Qiulan nodded: "I'll just have to trouble Wei Xi to help me find some suitable customers."

"It's a small matter. Don't be polite to me."

Liu Yue is feeling achy now.

Too much dog food chewed.

But she was still curious about what happened in Lanlan's hometown.

"It's okay to be with Sister Yue later." Jun Qiulan didn't want to say more now: "Thank you for your hard work today."

Liu Yue waved her hand and said, "It's okay. If it's inconvenient, don't tell me. I'll take you home first."

Her curiosity had been satisfied today.

Jun Qiulan added, "Once the border town is safe, I'll take you there to play with my sister. She's looking forward to meeting new friends."

"Great." Liu Yue was also looking forward to it.

On the way home, Yan Jing also went back with Jun Qiulan.

"When does Lanlan plan to go to Beijing?"

Jun Qiulan: "We'll leave as soon as you finish filming your scenes. It's better to leave sooner rather than later, so as to avoid any more trouble."

Yan Jing: "How is Lanlan going to go? On horseback?"

"That's natural. I can't just walk there."

Yan Jing pondered for a moment, "Have you ever thought about driving over there, Lanlan?"

If you take the official road, horse-drawn carriages can pass, so cars should have no problem either.

Preparing a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle is better than riding a bumpy horse, right?

And the speed can be even faster.

Jun Qiulan was also in a daze. He really had not thought about this.

"But I can't drive either."

"I can."

Two words are enough to express his meaning.

Jun Qiulan was silent.

They went to Beijing, and this time they returned to Beijing openly with the imperial edict. If they still drove and returned in a high-profile manner, they would probably still be in danger on the road.

When the news that Jin Guojiu was going to die in the border town was passed back, and he brought the imperial edict to the capital, the other princes' in-laws could not have been unprepared and would not have taken action.

Yan Jing was born in a peaceful and safe era. He actually didn't want Yan Jing to witness the bloodiness and cruelty of ancient times.

Yan Jing's eyes were firm and gentle: "Even if you don't want me to take risks, I will still worry about you."
