Chapter 50 What Wasn't Meant Was But It Became True


"I don't want to give Zhang Wenjuan a few slaps, she didn't offend me."

Lu Yunzhi threw the pebbles in his hands into the water, looked at the ripples under the lotus leaves, and continued: "But I have done it more than once I want to give someone else a slap in the face."

"What those people said will make you feel uncomfortable all over and make you feel as sick as eating a fly.

However, I want to be dignified, virtuous, and quiet, and I don't even dare to think about doing something like this."

Lu Yunzhi raised his eyes and looked at Xia Xiaodong: "So when I saw you do it, I felt very satisfied, as if I had done it myself."

"Alas," Xia Xiaodong had other worries: "Originally, you were staying at the prefect's place, and I planned to ask you to help me play the side drum."

It's close to the water.

If Lu Yunzhi still lives in the prefect's mansion and meets him three times a day, it will be easier to do Zhang Bo'an's job.

"Why do you want to beat the drum?"

Of course Lu Yunzhi would be curious.

"Speaking of which, maybe I can get in touch with you."

Xia Xiaodong muttered: "I heard that you brought money here to help with disaster relief."

"Um."

"But you can't buy food with money now.

Even if you can buy it, the price is ridiculously expensive and it's very problematic.

So, I'm thinking of preparing a granary for war."

"You want Magistrate Zhang to agree to open a warehouse?"

Lu Yunzhi said curiously: "Don't ask me to play a side role in this matter.

I guess it won't be possible for my father to go."

"Of course it's not just empty words that force others to open a position."

Xia Xiaodong smiled meaningfully: "But if there is a reason for the past, Magistrate Zhang doesn't necessarily have to starve the people to death."

To understand the situation of a place, firstly, you need to read the local county annals, which are official historical records; secondly, you need to read travel notes and essays, which are the folk customs; and more importantly, you need to know the commonly used laws and regulations.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the code of law is extremely complicated, but the civil and criminal parts should always be read.

For other things, just look for them when you need them.

Xia Xiaodong is an expert in information search.

Without the help of Du Niang, we can only do it all by hand.

Fortunately, his father, Xia Bashan, was a senior official.

Under his father's banner, Xia Xiaodong was able to thoroughly study the laws related to the armaments granary without much effort.

Managing a granary is actually a very oily job.

There is loss when food enters and leaves the warehouse, and there is loss when it is left unused.

How much of this loss is, please imagine how much space there is.

No one can eat such a huge piece of delicious food alone.

Although the prefect holds the final decision-making power, there must always be something to deal with before making a decision.

Therefore, as long as the entire chain is straightened out and the prefect can get off the hook, everyone will be happy.

"What reason did you think of?"

Lu Yunzhi asked.

"Of course it's military supplies."

Xia Xiaodong replied matter-of-factly: "Only by purchasing military supplies can we exchange them for military supplies.

Civilian items cannot be used."

"Where did the military supplies come from?"

Lu Yunzhi still couldn't understand.

Military supplies, as the name suggests, are for use by the military.

Correspondingly, production and sales are basically done by specific people.

Some things involving military secrets have to lock all relevant personnel in the mountains.

Although Xia Xiaodong's father is the commander, he doesn't have the ability to assemble military supplies.

I've never heard of opening an arsenal.

"Make it."

Xia Xiaodong couldn't understand Lu Yunzhi anymore.

"Just turn things that are not military supplies into military supplies."

Are you talking about tongue twisters?

Lu Yunzhi blinked.

If it’s not, it’s not.

How can it become yes?

"Follow me."

Xia Xiaodong walked away.

"What is this?"

Lu Yunzhi looked at the gray powder, his nose felt itchy, and he almost wanted to sneeze.

"Uh, I don't have a name yet."

Xia Xiaodong found a rectangular box and poured some powder into it.

This time, both of them actually sneezed.

Pour water quickly The powder turned into mud.

Much better now.

It seems like too much water has been added.

Add some more powder.

But if it doesn’t work, it’s too dry.

Add some more water.

After a few rounds, Xia Xiaodong found that the stuff was about to be full.

Forget it, you can’t ask for too much, that’s it.

It should be fine.

Lu Yunzhi watched Xia Xiaodong busy and asked with a strange expression: "You don't want to call this mud a military supply, do you?"

"Yes, that's it." "" "Let's go have lunch first and see when we come back."

"Hey, it seems to have hardened."

Lu Yunzhi looked at the mud in the box curiously and reached out to press it.

Sure enough, if you don't use force, you can't press it at all.

"It's not hard enough.

You can come back after dinner, or come back tomorrow morning."

"It actually turned into stone."

Lu Yunzhi touched and knocked, inexplicably surprised.

Xia Xiaodong turned the box upside down, knocked it hard several times, and knocked out a rectangular brick.

No matter how long you wait, mud will never turn into stone.

Lu Yunzhi saw that the mud was special, so he grabbed it and took it away.

Xia Xiaodong didn't stop him either.

He would definitely take it back after he took it away.

Until it was time to go to bed, Xia Xiaodong was ready to go to bed, thinking that Lu Yunzhi would come the next day, but there was a movement downstairs, and Lu Yunzhi actually ran up in the middle of the night, bringing a man with him.

It is already taboo for a man to enter an inner house, let alone at night.

This is too tough.

It really doesn’t look like the style of a girl from the Lu family.

Could it be that the strong winds in the Xia family are so powerful that everyone living in them will be infected?

"This thing is really hard."

Lu Yunzhi went straight to the point: "Even Guard Ruan can't break it."

Xia Xiaodong took a closer look at the Ruan guard and found that he had actually seen him before.

He had appeared in the noodle shop that day.

Ruan Huwei lowered his head knowingly and did not dare to look around, but he spoke very eagerly: "Miss Xia, I heard that this stone is made of stone powder and it only takes half a day.

Can you show me the stone powder?"

You can see the devil if you can figure it out.

Xia Xiaodong handed the remaining stone powder to Guard Ruan nonchalantly.

"Well, uh, um, um," Guard Ruan hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Can you give me a little?"

"Okay, you can take them all.

You can try adding different amounts of water to see the difference in the effect after coagulation."

Someone was willing to help with the experiment for free, and Xia Xiaodong certainly wouldn't refuse.

Guard Ruan was inexplicably surprised.

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

He hugged the bag that was somewhat suspected of leaking powder tightly in his arms, like a hen guarding its young.

He bowed and saluted, and ran away faster than a rabbit. .

"Xiaodong, what is the name of this thing and where does it come from?"

Lu Yunzhi asked softly, looking at the back of Guard Ruan after being taken over by the noisy servant
