Provoking the villain, madly criticizing the tyrant for kidnapping my sedan chair for the bridal cha

Not long after brother and sister Lin Lixia returned to the noodle shop, Luo Haichang came to the door after receiving the news.

"Miss Lin, the second day after Lu Xuanwei left Plum Blossom City, he sent someone to deliver all the remaining money."

Luo Haichang's words surprised Lin Lixia: "It was delivered so quickly? The Lu family has property in Plum Blossom City?"

"No, there is industry in Qingyang City!" Luo Haichang looked at Lin Lixia with a troubled expression.

"Now, even if I buy the grain from all the grain stores in Plum Blossom City, I can only collect at most two thousand taels of grain."

When harvesting rice, Lin Lixia inquired about the price of rice, which was about twenty cents per catty.

One tael of silver can buy fifty catties of rice, and ten thousand taels of silver can buy half a million catties of rice.

In this era, taxes were very heavy, and there was not much food left after paying the taxes. No one would sell food unless forced to do so.

Seeing that Lin Lixia didn't answer for a while, Luo Haichang said again: "Miss Lin, even if I buy all the rice, I am not that capable of transporting it to the border."

Seeing Luo Haichang's troubled look, Lin Lixia realized that wars in ancient times were difficult, and a lot of manpower was spent on material consignment and supply.

Two thousand taels of silver were used to purchase one hundred thousand jins of rice. If one truck contained one thousand jins of rice, it would take one hundred trucks to transport it. Each truck would be transported by two or three people, and at least two to three hundred people would be required to escort it.

One hundred thousand kilograms of rice sounds like a lot, but according to the amount of half a kilogram per person per day, it is only enough to feed one hundred thousand soldiers for two days.

Based on this calculation, of the 100,000-strong army, perhaps 10,000 may be busy collecting food, raising horses and other logistics, and the remaining 90,000 can fight. This is an excellent situation.

"It's not easy to fight a war! Then send over 100,000 kilograms of grain first. With the remaining money, you can buy grain from other places. We will buy grain in batches and send it to them."

Lin Lixia's words just touched Luo Haicheng's heart, and he considered it in the same way.

He couldn't tell him directly, so he deliberately took a roundabout way and asked the question to Lin Lixia.

"Master Luo, when are you going to set off? Do you have enough people?"

Hearing Lin Lixia ask this, Luo Haichang looked worried: "I am also worried about this matter. I only have enough people for 260 people, and I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with the bandits."

"Bandits?" Lin Lixia was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that the Fourth Prince was very vigorous in suppressing bandits? He took down several cottages in a row. Are there still bandits?"

Luo Haichang sighed: "The Fourth Prince's suppression of bandits is in the Queling Mountain area. It's still several days' journey from us to Queling Mountain. I'm afraid something will happen at this time."

Lin Lixia was silent for a long time, and had an idea in his mind: "Sir, how about this? You call together the merchants in Plum Blossom City and Qingyang City to see if there is anyone who wants to deliver goods to the Queling Mountain area together. You can let these caravans go together. Together."

Luo Haichang's eyes gradually brightened: "Each family's caravan has its own guards. Uniting them is also a considerable force."

"That's right!" Lin Lixia looked at Luo Haichang with a smile: "The food delivery team you arranged also gives these merchants a sense of security."

"Miss Lin is really smart!" Luo Haichang's eyes were full of admiration for Lin Lixia: "In this way, I can sleep peacefully tonight."

Luo Haichang praised Lin Lixia so fiercely that he felt a little embarrassed.

"Sir, while it's still dark, can you visit the merchants in Plum Blossom City? Let's finalize this matter as soon as possible?"
