Seeing that everyone kept their heads down and didn't speak, Zhao Hao spoke again: "I don't want to say anything more."
"I don't want to hear about your difficulties anymore!"
"Everyone please go back now."
"We will collect as much food as we can for one month."
"When the time comes, send it to Mubei City."
After saying that, Zhao Hao turned around and walked out of the venue.
He never lost his temper because he understood the difficulty.
However, among the many officials, only one, the magistrate of Mianyu County, was able to stand up and take the initiative to raise grain.
It was something he had not expected.
According to his previous thinking, there are more than 30 counties in total, and at least half of the county magistrates support it.
There will be at least ten or so.
Unfortunately, there is only one.
As soon as he came back, Xiao Chuyun arrived: "Brother, are you raising food to form a team?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Twenty thousand troops are still too few, and we must catch the enemy by surprise, so we must achieve a big enough result."
"Otherwise, it will be difficult to find opportunities again."
Xiao Chuyun nodded: "But I heard that these county magistrates don't seem to support it!"
"Don't be angry, there's nothing you can do about it."
"After all, the food has already reached the people. It would be extremely difficult to collect it."
"It may even spark a civil uprising."
“It’s normal for them to disagree!”
Zhao Hao nodded slightly, then sighed with some disappointment.
“I knew it would be difficult, but I didn’t expect it to be this difficult.”
"Only one magistrate of Mianyu County supports my approach."
"Why……"
At this moment, Zhao Hao truly felt how difficult it was to do something.
Shaking his head, he looked at Xiao Chuyun and asked, "By the way, Brother Xiao, how are the horseshoes and caltrops being forged?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Chuyun suddenly became happy.
"The mold for the caltrops has already been made, and the blast furnace is being started up these past two days to smelt the molten iron."
“It’s going on right now.”
"We will be able to produce it in large quantities soon!"
"As for the horseshoes, more than a thousand blacksmiths in our army are working day and night to make them."
"I roughly calculated that it would take at least twenty days to make 20,000 pairs of horseshoes."
"As for the caltrops, the amount of food required is huge, and there is no upper limit."
"There are still very few molds now. If we want to cast enough, we can support a war of abnormalities."
"It will probably take a month."
Zhao Hao nodded: "The time I gave these county magistrates is exactly one month."
"Now, let's see what the result will be!"
After seeing Xiao Chuyun off, Zhao Hao went to the study and began to write several letters in succession.
After writing it, he had it sent out immediately.
A month passed in a flash.
Grain from the two states was gradually delivered to Mubei City.
The Mianyu County magistrate, Tian Yan, personally escorted two thousand loads of grain over.
The best among all county magistrates.
The most that all other county magistrates carried was no more than five hundred dan.
Moreover, there were only two with nearly 500 dan.
The rest were all one hundred or two hundred dan, and even worse, there were only a few dozen dan.
Perhaps, because of Zhao Hao's identity, they didn't want to offend Zhao Hao too much, so they sent it reluctantly.
After collecting all the grain, the results came out, and it was over 5,000 dan of grain.
This amount of food can probably last 5,000 soldiers five days.
If there were 10,000 soldiers, there wouldn't be enough food for three days.
Zhao Hao said nothing and had someone carefully record all the counties that transported grain and how much grain was transported.
Then let these people go back.
Seeing Zhao Hao's ugly face, Xiao Chuyun couldn't help but come over and persuade him: "Brother, don't take it to heart. This result is not unexpected."
Zhao Hao smiled helplessly: "It's indeed as expected, but I'm still a little reluctant to accept it."
Shaking his head, Zhao Hao said, "Forget it, leave them alone!"
Xiao Chuyun said, "That's right. Forget about them. We are already prepared. The number of caltrops is nearly 300,000."
"The horseshoes are all assembled, too!"
"We just need to wait for another batch of thunder bombs to be delivered, and then we can find an opportunity to take the initiative to attack!"
"This time, I must avenge my previous humiliation!"
Zhao Hao nodded slightly: "Brother Xiao, I don't know how to act specifically and how to maximize the results of the battle. It all depends on you!"
"Well, Brother Xiao, please make a detailed plan."
"We'll discuss it after the plan is ready."
"What do you think?"
Xiao Chuyun nodded: "Don't worry, leave this to me!"
There was no sign of any change in the entire Mubei City just because the preparations were almost done.
It’s still pretty much the same as before.
Even if there were spies from both countries in the city, they wouldn't be able to see anything.
However, Xiao Chuyun was already arranging for the army to leave the city.
Every time, it happened at night, and no one knew how many people were dispatched.
While preparing, he continued to investigate the specific situation in Yue State and the wilderness.
After more than a month, the formation of the Anbu in Wusong had taken shape.
The order Zhao Hao gave him was to establish an intelligence network for the entire grassland.
Now, it is definitely impossible in such a short period of time.
