Chapter 1681 Follow the Rules
While eating, Yun Dai casually chatted with the owner of the wonton stall and inquired about the location of the largest granary in the city. After eating wontons, Baoxing put down a few coins, and the two of them strolled toward the granary.
Lanye City is not big. There are three granaries in total, which store different materials.
Yun Dai went directly to the largest warehouse in the south of the city. There were two officers guarding the door and no one was allowed to approach at will.
Baoxing stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother, please excuse me, I'm here to get charcoal."
The officer looked at him and saw that he was unfamiliar. He became a little impatient and said, "Where are you from? Do you have any vouchers?"
"Yes." Baoxing immediately took out a piece of paper.
This note was requested by Yun Dai from King Qin before leaving Liangcheng.
The certificate is of course genuine.
The officer looked at the voucher and then looked at Baoxing: "Are you from Liangcheng?"
"Yes, our general asked me to collect 800 kilograms of charcoal." Baoxing said.
"you alone?"
"I also have a brother who is watching the car over there." Baoxing casually pointed behind him.
The officer glanced over there and saw a young man with a tender face, and said, "I don't know whether your certificate is real or fake. Just wait, I'll go in and report."
"Excuse me, brother." Baoxing said hurriedly.
The official took the note and turned around.
Baoxing waited patiently, but he didn't expect to wait for half an hour.
Baoxing couldn't help but ask another official: "Why hasn't that brother come out just now? I'm still in a hurry to go back, our general is waiting. Please make it easier for you."
"What are you in a hurry for?"
"Brother, it's tight here. It's snowing over there and it's very cold. Many of our brothers in the army have frozen to death." Baoxing followed Yun Dai's instructions and spoke carefully with him, "It's not easy for everyone. , please make it convenient."
The official said: "I can't do anything, just wait."
Baoxing frowned and looked back at Yun Dai.
Yun Dai made a gesture towards him.
Baoxing took out a piece of silver from his arms, put it into the official's hand, and said with a smile: "It's not easy when the weather is cold. Take a glass of wine and warm yourself up."
The official pinched the money and his attitude became much better: "If I had known you were so anxious, I would have urged you quickly. Wait."
Baoxing had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
I stood in the cold wind and waited for a long time, and it was already dark. It was not until Baoxing's patience was almost exhausted that the official who collected the money came belatedly.
He smiled and said: "Oh, I'm sorry. I just went in to have dinner. I've been hungry all afternoon, so I went to have a meal. I'm sorry, buddy."
Baoxing's heart was already filled with anger, but he thought that the empress was also waiting for the wind, so he endured it and said, "Then have you finished eating? Can I get the charcoal now?"
"This requires our leader to nod."
"I have the general's certificate here, why can't I just collect it?" Baoxing asked, "I just want to ask, is the food, grass, charcoal that the imperial court issued to the front line here?"
"It's here, but you have to follow the rules. You can't just pick someone up just for you, right?" The official picked his teeth carelessly, his face shiny, "It's too late today. , either you go back first and come back tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Do you know that the soldiers on the front line are starving and freezing?" Baoxing's anger could no longer be suppressed.
I was in the palace before, so I don’t know. This time he followed Yun Dai out of the palace and arrived at the real battlefield. He saw the hard work of the soldiers and the greed and shirk of the logistics team. He was really angry.
