2860: C2860 A Friendly Reminder from Ke Yang

C2860 A Friendly Reminder from Ke Yang

Facing Jiang Ting's calmness, Southern Hunter didn't waste any time. Without hesitation, he brought up the alliance that Ke Yang had made.

The contract was simple and straightforward.

Jiang Tingze narrowed his eyes and began to think quietly. If the Alliance of Defenders agreed to attack and defend, he would have to support Ke Yang after he was attacked.

With his current power... He would probably lose a lot of manpower in the face of an attack that Ke Yang needed help to defeat.

Reject? If he rejected, Ke Yang would probably stabilize the rear and attack him at the first possible moment!

The alliance contract had both gains and losses.

The only thing he did not need to worry about was that Ke Yang would not violate the alliance contract... They were all in the third level of the rules. Who could afford to lose that person?

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting nodded gently. "I agree."

Southern Hunter exhaled slightly. "This junior will return now and inform the master of the news."

He was really afraid that Jiang Ting would not agree. After all, if Jiang Ting did not agree, he would not be able to leave Wuxi County.

"Leave just like that?" Jiang Ting narrowed his eyes.

He did not believe it. From far away, the Southern Hunt was just here to deliver a message to the alliance.

The Southern Hunter was startled at first, but then he realized what was going on. He cupped his fists and said, "The Lord knows about your current predicament. When I return, the Lord will send ten thousand people to guard the border between Wuxi County and Jiangyuan County. If you need them, they will provide assistance at any time."

Obviously, this was the sincerity that Ke Yang had shown after the alliance was formed.

Ten thousand men, not a small number... Moreover, those ten thousand men were all elite soldiers who had fought hundreds of battles. Ke Yang was afraid that he would not be able to afford to lose those useless soldiers.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ting frowned. An alliance was between both parties.

Ke Yang's sincerity had already been shown. Then, what about Jiang Ting's sincerity?

Soldier?

What he lacked the most was soldiers!

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting looked at Su Jiu. He suddenly realized that he did not have much to show his sincerity. After all, he was very poor now.

Even the grain used to raise soldiers was only available to the families of the rich and powerful families.

When Su Jiu saw Jiang Ting's line of sight, his eyes flashed as he said, "Since those ten thousand troops are for support, our young master is willing to provide the grain for those ten thousand soldiers. Of course, it is only limited to grain."

A hint of surprise appeared in Nan Sha's eyes, but it was not a surprise. Ke Yang was indeed lacking grain.

Or it could be said that Ke Yang did not lack money and grain... Jiang Yuan County had fought for half a year, and under the huge flames of war, Ke Yang had kept a lot of money, but he did not have grain.

Jiang Tingze was even more surprised. He actually had more grain to feed Ke Yang's ten thousand soldiers?

Why didn't he know? He only remembered that he was in need of money... but he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Su Jiu's emotions slowed down slightly. Then, he said softly, "Since we have formed an alliance, why don't we make up for each other's deficiencies... The current Sun Suppressing King should be rich, but unable to replenish grain."

"Indeed."

Pausing for a moment, Southern Hunter shook his head, "The war in Jiangyuan County has lasted for half a year. Zhao has killed too many people and has cut off many trade routes. It is difficult to find grain."

Fifty percent!"

After a pause, Su Jiu said: "Since we have formed an alliance, I will inform our soldiers to try their best to shrink their clothes and reduce their food. I will help you save some grain. You can use 50% of the market price to buy grain from Young Master."1

Nan Sha praised, "The Lord is right. Wuxi County really does have a lot of grain."

Su Jiu smiled and did not say anything.

Jiang Tingze... he did not know anything. He only knew that Su Jiu was in charge of everything. Did he have a lot of grain? It shouldn't be much, right?

He didn't know. Perhaps, this was the bitter consequence of not caring about anything.

Southern Hunter didn't waste any time. "When we return, the Lord will transport the money to the border garrison."

After saying that, Southern Hunter cupped his fists. "Senior, I will be leaving first... The Lord asked me to tell you that if you are free, you should observe more. The Lord has already found more than thirty people in the army."

After he finished speaking, Southern Hunter no longer hesitated. He turned around and left.

Jiang Ting frowned. Ke Yang had found more than 30 foreign visitors in the army?

How many of Jiang Ting's subordinates were otherworldly visitors?

"Young Master, do we need to investigate the entire army?" Su Jiu's voice turned cold.

Jiang Ting showed a hint of interest and quickly shook his head slightly. Now that they had thoroughly investigated the entire army, not to mention whether they could be found, once they were thoroughly investigated, it would only shake the morale of the army.

"If we don't investigate, how should we guard against it..." Su Jiu's expression was slightly grim.

"Just pay close attention."

Without waiting for an answer, Jiang Ting said softly, "Cultivate more people from the Thousand Qing Village. Those people are the first batch of people we have. They are also the people we trust the most at this moment. It is impossible for them to be from another world. As for the others, there is no hurry for now. They will not be able to accomplish anything in a short period of time."

Su Jiu hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.

Even though she had other different thoughts. However, she had done a good job. She would never deny Jiang Ting's orders.

Whether it was right or wrong, she would carry out Jiang Ting's decision as soon as he sat down.

After Jiang Ting suppressed his fear, he revealed a look of surprise. "That's right. Do we have a lot of grain?"

"Not much, very little." Su Jiu instantly replied.

Jiang Ting did not speak, but waited quietly. He believed that Su Jiu would not suddenly say something without a purpose.

Sure enough, Su Jiu thought for a while and said, "We do not have grain, but that does not mean we do not have grain in the twelve counties of Wuxi County. Because of Young Master's military law and military discipline, we will not attack any merchants or civilians other than the aristocratic families. Wuxi County has not experienced war. Among the merchants and wealthy families, there is a lot of grain."

After saying that, Su Jiu laughed again. "Wuxi County is different from Jiangyuan County. Because of the battle, countless fields and grains were destroyed. This year, Jiangyuan County can be said to have no harvest, and in addition to the grain that was burned during the battle... But Wuxi County is different. We seem to lack grain, but in reality, it's just because we lack money."

What Jiang Ting lacked was not grain, but money!

What Ke Yang lacked was not money, but grain.

The two could be considered to complement each other.

Looking at Su Jiu again, his face suddenly became excited, "We will sell grain to Ke Yang at 50% of the market price, while Ke Yang has 100 thousand elite soldiers and countless ordinary civilians. ... If those civilians do not have food to eat, they will definitely become refugees. Ke Yang will definitely not sit by and do nothing."

Speaking up to this point, Su Jiu became more and more excited, "Apart from the grain left in Jiangyuan Prefecture, we have already waited for the time when the grain will mature. Ke Yang needs to buy grain from millions of people at least. If we trade with him and add in all kinds of taxes, it won't be difficult for us to raise another hundred thousand soldiers!"

Jiang Ting blinked his eyes, then spread his hands. "I don't understand. Left and right, left and right. I don't need to care. Just tell me the result."
