Chapter 694 The Source of All Changes Is Zhao Lang
At this time, the northern frontier of Great Qin.
Now that the road has been revealed, Northern Xinjiang has become busy.
Marching and fighting does not mean that everything will be fine if you recruit sergeants.
Supplies, food, equipment, etc., each of which is a huge expense.
After having these things, it will not go directly to the border. The transportation on the way is also a huge consumption.
There are also expenditures on civilian manpower.
Therefore, the consumption of both manpower and material resources to supply hundreds of thousands of troops is extremely huge.
At the inland border of Yunzhong County, a convoy transporting supplies was handing over to the soldiers of Yunzhong County.
Nowadays, some changes have been made in the way of delivering supplies.
Although civilian husbands were still recruited, all civilian husbands did not need to go out of their own counties, and they only needed to be responsible for transportation within the counties.
When we get to other counties, someone will naturally take over.
In this way, losses can be reduced and farmers can waste as little time as possible in farming.
"General Liu, from here on, these supplies will be handed over to you."
The leader of a convoy handed the material documents to a middle-aged man with an extraordinary appearance.
Although the other party's official rank was lower than his own, the middle-aged man did not show any slightness and said with a smile,
"Thank you for your hard work. We have to do some inspections today. It's getting late. Why don't you go to the camp where I'm waiting and have a rest before setting off tomorrow."
"Fan Kuai, go prepare some food."
The big man next to the middle-aged man immediately returned with his head down.
"yes, Sir."
The middle-aged man is naturally Liu Bang.
Soon, everything was arranged, and there was a burst of laughter in the camp.
Taking advantage of a gap, Liu Bang walked out drunkenly. Fan Kuai on the side was not too happy, but muttered,
"Brother, we have made such great contributions, but they asked us to transport supplies."
Hearing this, Liu Bang frowned slightly and said,
"What nonsense are you talking about? The general gave us the task because he trusted us! I have to do a good job."
Fan Kuai curled his lips and wanted to say something else. Liu Bang on the side continued,
"Cao Shen, Zhang Liang and the others did the most work this time in transporting supplies. Last time it was Zhou Bo who took the biggest credit. If you complain again, go back!"
After hearing this, Fan Kuai still frowned and said,
"If I don't say it, I won't say it. It's just that he is a latecomer. He is not as close as our brothers."
The last time the Hun nobles were killed, it was indeed Zhou Bo who succeeded in a surprise attack, so of course he had some help.
But now, in their small group, he is indeed not the only option for force.
"Okay, we're almost done drinking now. You go stay with them and leave a good impression. I'll go look around."
Liu Bang said at this time.
Anyway, the food, wine and supplies used were attrition to the army, but the favors gained were their own.
So why not?
Fan Kuai still liked drinking and eating meat, so he responded and turned back to the camp.
Liu Bang was walking in the camp at this time, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
Although I didn't come out voluntarily this time.
However, when I got here, I looked at the military strength of Qin and the general trend of the world, and then thought about the time when he commanded tens of thousands of people.
It is inevitable to have some feelings.
If given another chance, he might make a different choice.
Which man doesn't want to be crowned a prince or prime minister, or even reach the top?
The prince and general Xiang Ning have a good feeling, but he has always kept these words in his heart.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and Liu Bang woke up slightly, and laughed at himself,
"Hey, actually it's not bad to be a county magistrate."
Feeling a bit of chill, Liu Bang walked directly towards the fire in the nearest camp.
The night was cold and cold, and the civilians on night watch also had fires, but they were just far away from supplies.
At this time, the villagers were having fun. When they saw someone coming, they just moved their seats and continued to have fun.
"Hey, I heard that your wife is about to give birth."
"Hehehe, well, it's almost done when I get back this time. I just took the credit for transporting supplies, and I can use the farmer's cattle to help out a little more."
"I want to change my own Qin Li. It's always inconvenient to share it with others."
"Qin Li? That's a big object, and there's also a bronze and iron head. You won't have enough this time, right?"
"Of course it's not enough. My brothers are all here. If it weren't for being busy with spring plowing and getting older, my father would also be here. After this busy year, it should be almost the same."
Listening to the conversation of the common people, Liu Bang also felt a little emotional in his heart. Now all the schools of thought have fully assisted the Qin Dynasty, which has never happened before.
If it was the previous labor and so on, who would still have the heart to joke?
"I just hope this battle will be over quickly. I don't have that many brothers in my family."
"Hmph, if it weren't for these bastards on the grassland, I would have been busy with spring plowing."
A civilian husband said with a bit of resentment.
Others also said,
"Who says it's not the case? These people don't know how to live their lives well!"
"Hey, it's not without its benefits. At least we have some merit."
"Bah! Rather than earning credit for transporting supplies, I would rather volunteer to build your majesty's imperial mausoleum! My brother is over there."
"Okay, okay, what's the noise about? Keep your voice down!"
Soon, the peasants lowered their voices.
Liu Bang had an incomprehensible look in his eyes, because he suddenly remembered that when he was a county magistrate, every time he received a government order, he was required to explain it clearly to the people in the most straightforward terms.
It is necessary to tell the people what the government is going to do and why it is doing it.
At the beginning, he still didn't understand. What was the point of wasting officials' time and telling these stupid people this?
Now, he seems to understand a little bit.
There are still laborers in Da Qin now. Although there are so-called credits and subsidies, they are far from enough.
But the people didn't seem too disgusted, and even thought about building a mausoleum for the First Emperor, which he had never heard of!
It seems that among these ordinary measures, some changes are quietly happening.
He knew these changes were important, but he couldn't understand them.
And the source of all these changes seems to be Zhao Lang.
Soon, it was late at night.
Liu Bang was about to get up and leave, but found that the person opposite the fire looked familiar.
"Zhang Liang?"
Liu Bang shouted in a low voice.
The person opposite seemed to have come back to his senses at this time, glanced at Liu Bang, and said with some concealment,
"Pei Gong, aren't you drinking?"
Liu Bang smiled and said,
"When I accompany them, I naturally want to see everyone."
Liu Bang was about to make a few remarks, but Zhang Liang just smiled reluctantly and said,
"That's fine, Mr. Pei. I'm going to rest first. We have to leave early tomorrow."
Liu Bang didn't stop him, but after the other party left, his expression changed slightly.
Early the next morning, the team set off.
A few days later, Liu Bang returned to the camp with supplies and was about to hand over the order. Suddenly, there was a sound,
"Get out of the main road! Great victory in Liaodong! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to camp!"
Not long after, everyone saw Zhao Lang returning to the camp surrounded by hundreds of cavalry.
Liu Bang looked at the unparalleled Zhao Lang, and his great ambitions increased several times.
