Xun Zhen was beaten by his colleagues, but he was dissatisfied with his words.

"... Since we have started borrowing food, we, as allies, naturally cannot stand by. But--" He deliberately dispelled the words and deliberately kept the nerves of his colleagues. "How many mates do we need to transport the food and grass that Quguoguo borrowed? How many troops should we send along the way to take care of it? The wars have greatly damaged the treasury and were too short of life, so we really couldn't take it out."

Everyone was about to roll their eyes at Xun Zhen.

This stingy person started crying poor again.

But Xun Zhen is not crying unreasonably, but others crying with reason. If you say he is alarmist, he will calculate it one by one for you. How much has been spent here and how much has been spent there? The unit can accurately understand the article! After hearing such a large number of additions, subtractions, and even forget what he wants to say, how can he criticize Xun Zhen for having a back and forth?

People who often march and fight know that Wang Ting allocated ten portions of food and grass. Normally, the soldiers on the front line could only receive two or three portions of them. Where did the rest go? A large part of them were eaten by the chefs who transported the grain and the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass, and a part was due to force majeure factors during transportation. For example, the food deteriorated and rotten caused by wind and rain. These are normal losses during transportation. The longer the grain is transported, the more food is consumed on the road, and the less food is left to the destination.

It is probably because Kang Guo was not well-off after just going through a war, and the amount of grain Qu Guo borrowed from them was not big or small.

It would not be so little that Kang Guo thought that Qu Guo was so poor that he had to borrow food and grass, nor would it be so much that Kang Guo could not find it.

but--

Xun Zhen took out a palm-sized brass abacus from his sleeve, and the same-sized green beads looked very bright and smooth. He fiddled his fingers skillfully and taught his colleagues a lesson - those who can't settle accounts should not command blindly!

The person who is planning to make good plans follows Xun Zhen's steps to mentally analyse, and is sure that his numbers are correct. Those who are too lazy to calculate directly filter the calculation process and other answers. The final answer is under the most ideal conditions, that is, no news is leaked, no enemy ambushing and interception, the weather is warm and rainy, and it is borrowed to transport it by waterways. Kang Guo also needs to send 14 times the grain to meet this trip to borrow food.

Fourteen times!

Isn’t this the life of the Ministry of Revenue?

If you are a little unlucky on the road, the loss ratio will be greater.

Other court officials said, "Since they are here to borrow food and grass, we just need to prepare and let them send someone to collect it themselves."

How can they bear the loss on the road?

Some people also think that the loss of one party is half: "You might as well decide the place to hand over the food and grass first, and the two companies will bear half of the burden?"

"The alternating river transportation and land transportation takes a long time and suffers a lot. In the end, you can go to sea transportation." The ocean is Luo Sha's comfort zone. The people under him are proficient in water and can be at ease when approaching the deep sea, not to mention the offshore areas where the danger is greatly reduced. "Walking on sea transportation, the last one can also find some friends to help escort it, and save some for the royal court."

Chen Tang was curious: "Shenlu's friend in the world?"

Can these friends in the world attract subtext?

Luo Sha couldn't understand, but the others could understand, and they all quietly stretched their ears. Then they heard the mermaid general pridefully say: "It's not a friend in the martial arts world, but a friend in the ocean. There are groups of friends with bow-backed whales, who can help escort them."

That was the person he saved by beating the killer whale, no, whale vein.

As long as you fight a killer whale, you will be the best friend of the bow-back whale!

Bai Su's face turned black.

The colleagues' expressions were wonderful. How could they say that calling for escort from the ocean friends is indeed not an idea that normal people can think of!

Even better, there is no need to pay for the bow-back whale.

In terms of cost performance, it is indeed better than the grain transporter.

Xun Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his fingers twisted the abacus beads and crackled, making people unable to help but sweat for the jade abacus beads: "...Get close to the sea? Not bad!"

He calculated again.

If Luo Sha’s suggestion is adopted, 80% of the grain transport routes are on the sea, and 20% are transferred to land transport before going to river transport. The first plan is to mainly land transport and river transport, accounting for 73. Land transport requires a large number of livestock vehicles and the losses are huge.

If you change it, the transportation cost can be reduced by more than half!

The biggest feature of near-sea land is its vast land and sparse population. In this way, the risk of leaking information on this grain line can be greatly reduced, and the risk of blocking the enemy faces is also low. Even if it is discovered, it can increase its speed and temporarily avoid the deep sea and bypass the monitoring. The enemy does not have the ability of Qin Li, and hides in the vast sea, and cannot tell the difference between the southeast, west and north, and still wants to catch people?

Xun Zhen could hardly suppress the curve of the corners of his mouth.

He held back, maybe his colleagues had better ideas.

The national treasury is under great pressure, so you can save money if you can!

Other officials were almost moved: "It sounds good to go to the sea, but I have heard that not only are there strange beasts in the sea, but also strange giants often appear, and the weather is even more unpredictable. Everything goes well, but how can I get out when I encounter a sea beast attack?"

In the vast sea, there is no village in front and no shop behind.

If you encounter a shipwreck, you may not have the chance of survival.

They have almost no experience in dealing with the ocean, and go to sea without any preparation, and place their hopes on the sunny and sunny sea. The risk is too great! Even Luo Sha cannot escape from the crisis-ridden ocean, let alone grain ships?

Luo Sha was speechless for a moment: "This..."

The tribe members also spent a lot of energy to barely adapt to the isolated island and the harsh sea, and the others obviously couldn't do it.

Someone sighed helplessly.

Going inland is too expensive.

Walking outside the sea, there are many unknown risks.

Rejecting Qu Guo, Kang Guo missed development opportunities.

For a time, many people also felt it was difficult.

The biggest problem is the national treasury. Everything can be solved with sufficient treasury, but Xun Zhen, the Pixiu, is reluctant to let go. Everyone also knew that Xun Zhen was not intentionally stuck, which only proves that the national treasury is really too embarrassing.

In times of crisis, Chen Tang gritted his teeth: "I have a way to spend at most 100 taels, which is more risky."

The ministers looked at each other and said, "Hundred and Ten Taw?"

The food and grass that Qu Guo borrowed was not something that could be bought by a few hundred taels.

How could it be done in just one hundred taels?

More risky?

What a risk?

Could it be that who will be attacked again?

Everyone racked their brains and couldn't think of any way to accomplish this at nearly zero cost - compared with that batch of food and grass, hundreds of taels are indeed similar to that. To put it bluntly, the cats in Qi Zhongshu's family cost more than this a year.

Chen Tang said: "Hundreds of ten taels are travel subsidies."

Everyone was even more confused.

Only Gu Chi saw the answer one step ahead: "The Lord means that since the cost of delivering grain was too high, it would be better to send the person who produced the grain. Whether it was borrowing Zhai Le's land or who borrowed the land, he should be able to pay enough food and grass within the time limit."

Plant and harvest, and the food and grass are fresh.

The biggest risk is that the person sent to the house may be detained by Zhai Le. As the king of the country, Zhai Le may not be unable to do such a thing.

Submissive Southwest minister: "???"

One by one, they were shocked to the point where their pupils were frequently quakes.

I know every word, why don’t I understand it if I combine it?

Before they could turn completely from the way Dingding was going on, they first witnessed Kang Guo's rich martial virtues and martial arts. They were not far away from someone who was hit by an elbow and could only admit that they were unlucky. Then they heard such magical speeches. No, Qu Guo borrowed grain, was short of food, not people who were short of food! What's the use of sending farmers here? Can Qu Guo patiently wait for spring plowing to autumn harvest?

There were too many complaints, so I didn't know where to start vomiting for a while.

The old minister Kang Guo’s complaint was his travel expenses.

"... Hundreds of 100 taels are too little..." Xun Zhen, the most stingy person, couldn't help but stand up and say a conscience. Kang Guo and Qu Guo were more than a thousand miles apart, and there were not only one person sent there. He actually paid a hundred taels of travel expenses, and only one tael per person?

Have you been gnawing steamed buns and water along the way?

Chen Tang looked for a supplement: "Only one hundred taels per capita, the rest are calculated separately."

Xun Zhen then calmed down: "That's OK."

At least this budget can be free to eat meat.

Chen Tang’s proposal is obviously the lowest cost.

The amount of grain the country of Qu wants, the people sent out to plant as much grain they have. There is no intermediate loss in direct sales by the manufacturer, so you can give as much as you should. The land of Qu and the fertility of Qu.

If you don’t have enough fertility, you can still use the country’s destiny.

This method applies the word stinginess to the limit!

When Chu Yao heard this, he was basically sure that this task would fall on his own students. As a teacher, he was most worried about Lin Feng's safety. In order to prevent Qu Guo from detaining people afterwards and obstructing Lin Feng from returning to China, his casual guards should not be weak. His individual combat strength must be in line with Gong Xiqiu and others. On the safe side, it would be two more, and he would bring a small group of elite warriors to support and assist.

Protecting Lin Feng and others can also deter Qu Country.

The ministers were furiously moved by this proposal.

But no one dared to speak first.

Which top-notch military general is better offense?

Which general is willing to miss the golden time to consolidate the prestige of the army and take on this chore with few things? There are only a few pyramids of the military generals in Kangguo, and anyone who chooses will offend people. General Chu Jie has been in charge of the country all year round. Wei Shou, Qian Yong and a few old foxes will definitely use their lack of strength to shirk them. Yun Ce is easy to talk to, but they have no friendship with him... In terms of the foundation of the army, Gong Xiqiu and Luo Sha are considered "soft persimmons". Who dares to squeeze them?

Everyone exchanged their eyes, and no one dared.

Dingding will fall into unprecedented silence.

They didn't mention it, but Chen Tang could only say: "The guard matter was handed over to Fengen and Shenlu, what do the two generals think?"

Luo Sha was not so concise and didn't understand very well. Gong Xiqiu was a little concise, but he didn't bother with Mama, so he naturally had no objection.

"You two will pick fifty elites to accompany you."

These elite soldiers are all brave warriors selected from the best of the wars of hundreds of battles. Although there are only a hundred people in total, they can break through the siege to fight in battles. With the assistance of Lin Feng and other scholars, Qu Guo can escape even if he is greedy.

Seeing Luo Sha and the other ministers still felt a little dazed when they saw that they were so easy to talk to?
