Chapter 12: Huang Jin spy: Joining the army provides food until full

"Master, this white porridge and white flour steamed buns are really too delicious!"

On the open ground outside the city wall, the thin servant was holding a large bowl, taking a bite of white porridge and a bite of white flour steamed bun, eating exceptionally comfortably!

While eating, the servant also kept praising the deliciousness of the food to Cheng Yu!

Listening to the words in his ear, Cheng Yu's gaze at this moment was fixed on the white porridge, pickled mustard greens, and white flour steamed buns in his hand!

This kind of snow-white porridge, even he had never eaten!

As a famous scholar from Yanzhou, Cheng Yu's family background was naturally not too bad!

But in the Han Dynasty, the yield of rice was very low!

Even noble families, under normal circumstances, would mix rice and millet to boil porridge, at most adding a little minced meat to make meat soup!

To be able to boil thick porridge with full-grained rice like this!

And it was like this for every meal!

It was simply extravagant to the extreme!

This was something only royalty and high officials could afford to eat!

As for the pickled mustard greens on the side, the fine salt in them made Cheng Yu even more tongue-tied!

Using fine salt to pickle vegetables, this was simply a waste of heavenly treasures!

Cheng Yu had also tasted that fine salt!

Even royalty and high officials might not have it!

This level of fine salt was completely at the level of tribute!

And here, it was unlimited and provided until full!

As for the white flour steamed buns at the end, Cheng Yu didn't know how to speak anymore!

These three short food items made Cheng Yu, a person who had seen great storms and waves, almost lose his composure!

After finishing the white porridge, pickled mustard greens, and white flour steamed buns, Cheng Yu looked at the government soldiers who were still eating heartily on the other side!

He felt that the situation in Jiangdu County had deviated too seriously!

Where exactly did Lin Yang get this grain?

Thinking to himself, Lin Yang on the other side had already walked over!

"Sir, now that the Huang Jin bandits are besieging the city and won't retreat, I, Lin, have a method and would like you to help provide some guidance!"

"Oh? I don't know what brilliant plan Magistrate Lin has?!"

Looking at Lin Yang, who was bowing to him, Cheng Yu was also interested at this moment!

For a time!

The two walked side by side towards a direction in Jiangdu County!

Li Gang, who was behind them, led fifty government soldiers carrying several large vats and followed behind Lin Yang!

The two walked for a while, and before long, they arrived at a temporarily designated settlement for disaster victims!

"Hmm?"

Watching Lin Yang bring him here, and seeing the government soldiers behind them bringing white porridge and pickled mustard greens, Cheng Yu's brows lifted slightly, and he already understood Lin Yang's idea!

"Magistrate Lin wants to recruit the disaster victims and incorporate them into the army!"

"Haha, I can't hide it from Mr. Zhongde!"

Being exposed by Cheng Yu, Lin Yang also smiled and nodded!

This was the method he had thought of over the past two days!

He now had the system, with one hundred thousand portions of white porridge, pickled mustard greens, and white flour steamed buns every day!

After a few days, his storage space was already full!

Instead of wasting it in vain!

It was better to make the best use of it!

Relying solely on those five hundred government soldiers to farm Reputation points was simply too slow!

The number of government soldiers in Jiangdu County was small, but the number of disaster victims who had fled here was not small!

"Recruiting disaster victims is not difficult!"

Cheng Yu's gaze swept over the people in the disaster victim camp and then looked at Lin Yang!

"As long as Magistrate Lin has enough grain!"

Yes!

Recruiting disaster victims was truly not difficult at all!

As long as there was grain and food for them, they would naturally listen to you obediently!

"Mr. Zhongde, don't worry about the grain problem!"

Thinking that Cheng Yu was worried about other things, upon hearing it was a grain problem, Lin Yang's heart was completely at ease!

Cheng Yu looked at Lin Yang, and seeing the other person make such a guarantee, he became even more interested!

Such white porridge, pickled mustard greens, and white flour steamed buns!

Even if the other person were the son of a Commandery Governor, he couldn't afford to supply this!

"Li Gang, go, open the grain in the large vats!"

"Select the young and strong from this batch of disaster victims and join the army!"

Giving a light shout to Li Gang on the side, the latter walked out with a smile!

After being fed white porridge and pickled mustard greens every day for this period, Li Gang could be considered completely loyal!

Watching Li Gang start to take action, Lin Yang also took Cheng Yu and headed towards the government office, leaving this place to the other person!

Regarding the strategy to breach the city, Lin Yang still needed Cheng Yu to help him refer to it!

And in a corner of the disaster victim camp at this moment.

"Damn it, this dog official is followed by government soldiers, it's not easy to make a move!"

"Li Gou, don't make a move, don't forget our mission!"

In the corner of the disaster victim camp, more than a dozen tattered young men looked at Lin Yang's back with fierce eyes, wishing they could kill him!

Hearing the word "mission," the burly man in the lead gritted his teeth and endured it!

They were all spies for the Huang Jin bandits outside the city!

Taking advantage of the disaster victims entering the city earlier, they had ambushed in advance!

The goal was to open the city gate at a critical moment and let the Huang Jin group enter the city!

Now that there was a grain shortage in the city!

Waiting another two days would be the moment for them to take action!

"Grain is being distributed, there's food!"

Just as this group of people was enduring, they saw that in the large camp, hundreds of people were excitedly running around telling each other!

Many of them had broken bowls in their hands filled with snow-white porridge, and they were holding white flour steamed buns in their hands!

Such a scene left Li Gou and the others dumbfounded!

"Old fellow, I don't know where this food came from?"

Pulling one person over casually, Li Gou asked, and then received an answer that left him tongue-tied!

"Magistrate Lin is kind-hearted; from now on, we will have a bowl of white porridge and a white flour steamed bun every day!"

"I heard that if you are willing to join the army, you can eat white porridge and white flour steamed buns until you are full!"

The sentences exploded like thunder, and Li Gou and the others were completely stunned!

Wasn't it said that there was a grain shortage in the city?

Where did this white porridge and white flour steamed buns come from?

And it was provided until full? ===== CHAPTER 13 =====
