Chapter 2203 Xiao Qi is ready to transport food
He specially stockpiled 600,000 shi of military rations for them. This year, the new grain came in, and it was another bumper harvest. Although there was no way to continue purchasing large quantities of grain from other places, it was not difficult to distribute more than 200,000 shi of grain produced in Huaixi Province to the Northwest Army.
In this regard, Shao Yunduan has been doing his best.
The envoys from the northwest were originally a little worried that Lord Shao would find excuses to delay their trip. After all, they came here to transport 100,000 shi of grain.
And this is just the first batch.
In other words, after this batch of grain is transported back, the second and third batches of grain transport teams will arrive one after another, and at least 300,000 shi of grain will be transported away.
This is not a small amount!
Although General Shao has always said that Lord Shao would never refuse at all, they still couldn't help but worry about such a big thing.
Not to mention them, even General Feng and General Xu might not have a complete idea of the situation.
But unexpectedly, General Shao was right!
The messenger was very grateful and thanked, then happily went downstairs with everyone to rest.
They did not dare to rest along the way, and traveled day and night in wind and rain to Huaixi Province. Now that they had relaxed, they were all tired and sleepy, and really could not hold on any longer and needed a good rest.
The granary affairs were later managed by Qiao Xuan. After Shao Yunduan discussed with Qiao Xuan, the two went to check the grain together.
All the granaries were built in Anze Prefecture, so they had another chance to go back.
All the grain was well preserved, dry and fresh, and not moldy. Qiao Xuan had people start packing the grain in bags. They also took out the previously made carriage parts that were piled up in the warehouse and assembled them. These were all grain carts.
It is very likely to rain on the road, and tarpaulin is readily available. Just take it out, check it, and count the quantity.
We also prepared a lot of important parts for the grain transporter, such as wheels and shafts. We will take some of them with us when we go on the road. If something goes wrong, we can replace it at any time...
Qiao Xuan had thought of every aspect and arranged everything perfectly. Not only was Shao Yunduan extremely proud, but all the officials were also impressed when they saw it.
No wonder Master Shao respected Madam Shao so much and entrusted everything to Madam Shao. With Madam Shao's ability, Master Shao naturally had nothing to worry about!
With so many things happening at the same time, it was extremely busy.
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Qi and the others have to pass through the Second Prince's territory when they transport the grain back, right? Will the Second Prince make things difficult for them? And there's also the Sun family."
Shao Yunduan sneered, "The Second Prince is not stupid. General Feng and his men are guarding the country of Great Qin. It is enough that they did not ask the three emperors for money and food. If he were to rob or detain them, he would be cursed by the world. He cannot afford to lose face! The same goes for the Sun family."
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's true! General Feng and the others must have considered everything carefully. But, the journey is so long!"
Shao Yunduan sighed softly: "Yes, I hope everything goes smoothly along the way."
The distance is more than 2,400 miles, and the grain transport trucks move slowly, at most traveling more than 100 miles a day. Even if they rush, it will take almost 20 days to return to the destination.
But knowing that he had stored food for them, General Feng and his men should have made arrangements long ago instead of transporting food in a hurry, which is better.
