C2849 The Grain Is Unstable

Jiang Ting's expression darkened when he learned about the loss of attacking three counties. As expected, they were just some new recruits after all. Attacking a defenseless county had such a huge loss!

Su Jiu was still speaking, "Although the losses this time were great, Gai Yi and the others have discovered quite a number of valiant fighting talents. There are also some fierce warriors in dreams and battles. However, the battle credit list is too cumbersome, so they did not bring it over."

"Do as you see fit." Jiang Ting shook his head and did not want to bother with him.

It was too annoying.

Su Jiu shrugged and added, "Also, although the three counties have already been taken down, they haven't made a move against the aristocratic families yet. They just let the Min family disciples who follow the army start to interact with the families of the three counties. " For now, they haven't decided... "

According to what Gai Yi and the others thought... No, it should be said that according to the Min Family's thoughts, they were prepared to use the army to intimidate and seize some wealth from those families. Whoever was most willing to leave behind the family.

Hearing this, Jiang Ting shook his head. "All of you, just watch."

He was not used to dealing with these matters. If not for the Primordial Dao Tree, he would not even bother with such trouble. He would just let Su Jiu take care of everything.

Su Jiu stopped speaking, but he didn't leave. Instead, he continued speaking. "Young Master, there's another matter... The Min Clan has sent news that they suggest that we don't be in a hurry to abandon the military camp outside of Yu Wen County. It's best to build a small military camp in Si Shui County and the other three counties."

Jiang Ting looked around. "Why?"

It would not be a problem to build so many barracks.

... "" After a moment of silence, Su Jiu shook his head. "When an army goes out, it cannot be compared to riding a horse alone. If we start the army in the middle of the four counties, no matter which county we want to reach, we will need at least six hours to reach it. "If there is a change, we will not be able to support them in time. If we leave some soldiers outside the county, we will be able to intimidate them."

"It is feasible." Jiang Ting nodded his head gently.

Su Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. "Besides, we don't have enough money."

"No money?" Jiang Ting was shocked. Didn't they have a lot of money when they raided the Wang and Luo families? Did they spend all their money in such a short time?

"There are still some. Just based on the current costs... "

After pondering for a while, Su Jiu explained, "According to the current expenditure, we will always be unable to make ends meet... Even if we will defeat many families in the future, after that, we will need to continue recruiting soldiers for training."

If we can't make ends meet... sooner or later, we'll have nothing to eat.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting decisively shook his head. "Do as you see fit."

Since he could not solve the problem, then... he would leave the problem to the others.

"Alright." Su Jiu instantly smiled bitterly and secretly started to think of many rich people in his heart.

In a county town, In addition to the aristocratic families, there were also many wealthy businessmen who had a lot of wealth in their hands. However, she could not randomly find a reason to attack those wealthy businessmen.

If she really did that... Everyone was in danger, so how could she fight the world?

But since she had her eyes on her...

...

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

Jiang Ting sat in the magistrate office of Yu Wen County, while the other three counties had undergone a shocking change. The three counties... There were originally ten families in those three counties.

In the end, Gai Yi and the others suddenly went all out and slaughtered seven families. They collected a lot of money, leaving only three families to ensure that the three counties could operate normally.

At the same time, they started to recruit people to build barracks outside the three counties. Under Su Jiu's arrangement, they expanded the army.

Initially, when they only occupied Yu Wen County, Jiang Ting only had two thousand soldiers under his command.

After taking down three counties and taking control of them, even if they had lost some soldiers, after the expansion, the number of soldiers increased by twelve thousand. En, three counties, a total of twelve thousand people were recruited!2

If it wasn't for the fact that they had obtained a lot of wealth from the aristocratic families, they might not have been able to afford it.

Jiang Ting did not know if the resources and channels of the aristocratic families that had been destroyed could be used to offset the expenditure or not. He did not even ask.

He was worried that it would give him a headache if he asked, so he didn't bother to ask.

It was worth mentioning that there were one thousand people guarding each county in four counties. The remaining ten thousand people were all in the big military camp that had not been built yet.

It was also because of those ten thousand people that the camp was built and put into use on the spot.

Those who had contributed greatly in the previous battle were promoted one after another... All of these things started to get on the right track.

The county magistrate office.

Jiang Ting leaned against the pergola and looked at the sky. He had a smile on his face. He realized that if he ignored the bad news and only looked at the good news, he would feel refreshed.

Su Jiu approached from afar. "Young Master."

Jiang Ting smiled even more. "What good news?"

Su Jiu stopped in his tracks and asked, "Is there something you need to decide, Young Master?"

"What is it?" Jiang Ting stopped smiling. It seemed that there was no good news this time.

"Grain problem." Without waiting for an answer, Su Jiu explained, "Previously, the Min family was in charge of transporting our grain. But now, the central camp has been put into use, and there are a total of ten thousand people there. Relying solely on the Min Clan to escort our grain, not only is it insufficient, it's also starting to become insufficient now."

Simply put... the grain was unstable! If the grain was not stable, how would the army train?

Jiang Ting's smile completely disappeared. The headache had come.

"You can handle it yourself." Jiang Ting simply threw the question back.

"In my opinion, we can't expand anymore. We should guard the four counties and start building grain soldiers."

After pausing for a moment, Su Jiu explained, "Before that, I plan to let Si Shui and the other three families help the Min Family stabilize the transport of grain. At the same time, we will draw people from the three families to expand the army."

"The method is very good." Jiang Ting nodded.

At least, he did not see any flaws or problems.

"What is the reward?" Su Jiu searched.

Asking the other three families to help naturally required the help of those three families. After all, even though those three clans had been preserved, they had been ruthlessly extorted by the Min Clan.

There was no benefit at all. Even if the three families would give it to others, they would cooperate. However, everything was just on the surface. What should they do if they didn't contribute?

Money, let alone the fact that they were in need of money. Even if they were willing, the three families wouldn't be short of money.

The aristocratic families... What they didn't lack the most was money.

Jiang Ting lowered his head and thought for a while. He smiled. "Martial arts... Tell them to do their job properly. Not only can I pass my martial arts to them, but I can also use silver needles to pierce their acupuncture points. It will help them to have the ability to fly."

Without waiting for an answer, Jiang Ting opened his mouth again. "You can do as you see fit. If you need me to personally stab your acupuncture points with silver needles, you can bring them over."
