His Majesty the Emperor did not notice Yao Yanyan's gaze looking at him, and he excitedly expressed his belief in Feng Yuan's coming.
It turns out that after Feng Yuan and the others took down Changping Prefecture and Muping Prefecture, they found a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass in the palace of King Pingchang and King Mu. In addition, the grain and grass that Zhu Qiyu originally sent was enough for half a million soldiers for the next six months. For chewing, your Majesty doesn’t need to send someone to deliver food and grass this time.
Seeing these words, His Majesty's heart was settled. For the first time, he felt Feng Yuan was so pleasing to his eyes. Feng Yuan also mentioned in his letter that he wanted the army to rest for a period of time and waited for the attack on Chen Pingzhou in early March.
It's easy to talk, as long as it's not for money, everything is easy to talk about. His Majesty the emperor immediately wrote a reply and agreed to the matter. In addition, he also greeted the soldiers about their food and clothing needs. After confirming that there were no omissions, he sealed the letter and ordered him to send it out quickly.
He was so happy that he waited until the person below sent the letter out, and then suddenly remembered that it was already early February, and it was already March when the letter was sent to the front line. It seemed that there was no difference between sending it and not sending it. . And Feng Yuan's letter just informed him, not really asking for his consent.
His Majesty the emperor recollected, knocked on his head, and hurriedly sent people back, and wrote another one before they were sent.
Waiting for everything to be done, His Majesty discovered that her maiden's gaze seemed to be something wrong when she looked at him. Yao Yanyan's gaze made her heart frustrated. His Majesty asked her what's wrong.
Yao Yanyan held her chin in her hands and looked at her majesty's eyes with a strange smile. She said: "The concubine did not expect that there are still five thousand taels in your majesty's small vault! That's five thousand taels!" Yao Yanyan opened her hand and made an exaggerated gesture. Seeing her majesty's expression of dignity, she asked curiously: "Your Majesty, how did you save this money."
It's terrible. In this situation, your Majesty can actually save money. She thought that your small vault was already empty!
After being asked by Yao Yanyan, he finally remembered that His Majesty, who had said that he had leaked his mouth, subconsciously covered his mouth, and stared at Yao Yanyan with only a pair of big eyes, looking at how innocent and innocent she was.
Yao Yanyan was so softened by him, she raised her hand and squeezed the hand covering his mouth, and said: "Your Majesty will stop selling it. Tell your concubine how to save this money?"
Yao Yanyan's diligence seemed to make her Majesty be defensive. He stared at her and said: "It's not impossible to ask me to tell you, but you have to promise me that the money belongs to me, and you are not allowed to take it out of my hand if you act like a coquettish or betrayal."
Yao Yanyan laughed and hugged his arm and groaned: "Your Majesty, you really hate it, are the concubines of that kind of person? You think so, it really makes the concubines sad."
However, after being together for so many years, your Majesty has long been familiar with Yao Yanyan’s routines. It’s okay to change to other things, but it’s about the private money that you finally saved. Your Majesty will never be fooled by Yao Yanyan easily. . He snorted and said, "I don't worry, unless you swear that you will not take my money!"
Yao Yanyan looked at His Majesty’s suspicious eyes, and her mood was very complicated. Has her credit before Your Majesty actually gone bankrupt
Yao Yanyan felt that she would not touch her majesty's private money, but under her majesty's keen gaze, she still sweared very conspicuously and verbally promised that she would never use her majesty's money again. She raised her hand, her eyes are like torch, and solemnly said: "I, Yao Yanyan, will die, I will jump off the city gate immediately, and will never take the initiative to take your majesty’s private money. If I can’t do it, I’ll be baited right away. Hair, wrinkles, become ugly!"
After listening to Yao Yanyan's oath, His Majesty was relieved at last. He happily took Yao Yanyan to the place where he recently hid the money.
In the past, your majesty hid the money in the private room at the side of the bed. Since discovering that the money placed there would always be taken away by Yao Yanyan for various reasons, your majesty changed his mind and changed the place where the money was hidden to the bed. Stomped down.
I saw your Majesty lifted his feet and buckled a wooden board below, revealing an unpretentious wooden box below.
He opened the wooden box and excitedly showed Yao Yanyan the money he had saved.
Yao Yanyan took it over and looked at it. All the money in the blind was banknotes. The amount was variable, there were twelve taels, twenty taels, fifty taels, one hundred taels... In addition, there were ten Yao Yanyan pads a few silver ingots and consistent copper coins. Those silver ingots are all five-tiered.
Obviously, his majesty saved so much of this small amount of money. Yao Yanyan looked at the wooden box in her hand. It was only five thousand taels, but she felt heavy.
Zhu Qiyu didn’t notice Yanyan’s sudden depression. He was still excitedly introducing Yao Yanyan his method of saving money. “Actually, as long as you are more careful, there are many ways to save money, such as the gold thread on the dragon robe. , You can let the people of the service bureau use dyed silk threads instead. The original gold threads can be drawn off and replaced with silver coins; the gems in the hall are not moving, but the corners are covered by the curtains. These gems can be given away. If you sell it to the private sector, you can exchange it for a sum of money. Unfortunately, the stones are too small. The tables, chairs and benches purchased every year by the Yushufang and Zichen Temple do not need to use the finest woods, and you can also use the next-class ones, which can save you money. Less money..."
His Majesty said as he said, he still settled an account, "I can save five thousand taels a year, year after year, five thousand taels in ten years, and one hundred thousand taels in twenty years, barely Strong will be able to build the Star Picking Tower!"
Yao Yanyan looked at this majesty, and felt as if she had seen those who have worked hard for most of their lives just to change a house, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
The emperor finally found that his wife was not in the right mood. The excitement in his tone dissipated, and he frowned and looked at Yao Yanyan suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"
Yao Yanyan squeezed out a smile and suddenly put down the wooden box and hugged her majesty tightly.
Although I don't know why, the emperor's embrace of the lady has always been very helpful, and he raised his hand to caress her slender waist. After touching it, his eyes lit up and he said to Yao Yanyan: "Yanyan, I suddenly remembered something. The big bed in the Zichen Palace I didn't sleep anymore. I also used good materials to beat it. It's better to be carried out and sold Anyway, I have slept with the dragon spirit. There must be a lot of people want to buy it! And my dragon robes and trousers..."
"Puff!" Yao Yanyan was full of sadness and pity when she was bombarded with scum by this "prone clothes and pants". She really wanted to open your majesty's head to see what was in it. But when I think about it carefully, I feel that what his Majesty said seems quite reasonable. There may be some wealthy folks who are willing to pay for it! Maybe you can get a little dragon spirit when you put it on, and you won’t be able to get promoted in the future!
After all, those who can be emperors must be blessed with luck!
So the two sat on the ground and began to plan how to sell the worn-out underwear that your Majesty wore without losing face.
At the beginning of March, it is the spring season when everything is resurrected and full of vitality.
In a mansion in Shengpingzhou, a big-waisted grain merchant and his own children were sitting in the hall, but their faces were full of sadness.
The imperial court’s grain depot was already empty, and the only way to collect grain was from the private sector. Their family is troubled by this matter.
"Father, the court documents have all come down, and we are required to donate food to the army, but in the first two months, our family has already given out most of the food stored, and the rest is the foundation of living in this city. How can it be sent out?" said the eldest son of the grain merchant.
In previous years, how many grain merchants rushed to provide grain and grass to the army, but this year...they "presented" the grain really, and the court took it all, but they didn't even get back the silver. Isn't this a free gift
In the face of the national disaster, if you can give up the food in exchange for the safety of the state city, although it is painful, it is still a bit comforting in my heart. How can people calm down
After all, the grain merchant was more calm than his son. Seeing his son's face was unwilling, he said: "It's really impossible, save enough for our family to eat, and donate the rest! If even the country is destroyed, no matter how much food is saved, What's the use?"
The grain merchant then ordered the children of the family to save enough for their own food, and the rest would be given away when the court came. Just after the order was over, an old friend who had been with him for many years came and told him one thing, "Don't listen to the court, hurry up and pack up your things and take refuge in Qi State!"
Hearing this, the grain merchant's eyes widened in shock. Although he is a businessman, he still has a sense of belonging to Chen Guo. He, an old friend, also understands that he is a loyal and patriotic like him, how can he be? Say this
Seeing him in astonishment, the old friend said: "I just received the news that the first few cities of Chen Pingzhou have been beaten down!"
Liang Shangdao: "The situation is so critical? But because of this, we have to donate food to save the country!"
The old friend rolled his eyes, "Save what country? Where did the food we handed in?"
The grain merchant heard what he said was wrong, and quickly asked what had happened.
The old friend said: "Do you know that Chen Pingzhou governor? We donated the food from the past. He sold it to the people of Qi and made a lot of money. When the people of Qi fought over, the governor, who was greedy for life and fear of death, first surrendered. You are loyal to the emperor and patriotic when you offer food, but you don’t know it’s fattening the pockets of corrupt officials!"
Hearing this, the grain merchant was shocked and speechless.
"The news hasn't reached Shengping State. I just happen to have some channels to know it. Chen Guo is going to be finished, so pack up early and vote for Qi Guo! Be careful which day the whole family will be dragged onto the battlefield. Net worth and life are more important than anything else! "
After that, the old friend left, leaving the grain merchants to stand still. After a long while, the son came to him and asked him, "Father, do you send food?"
The grain merchants were hesitating, and after a long while, they gritted their teeth and said: "Take one tenth and go out, and hide the rest. The court will urge you to say no!"
Before Chen Pingzhou was completely occupied, the entire Shengpingzhou was panicked. When the new emperor Di Xi saw the news sent from below, he was shocked to stand up from his throne.
Just because I don’t know when it started, there were rumors in Shengping Prefecture that Chen Pingzhou’s governor had made a fortune and betrayed the country for glory. The soldiers of the Chen Kingdom defeated the battle because they did not have enough to eat, and the barracks were also reduced because of repeated reductions in food. Panic.
The governor of Chen Pingzhou was a sturdy man. He had been killed to prove his innocence. Unexpectedly, new rumors came out, saying that the general Qi State disdained his company and personally beheaded him on the day of his surrender.
The court repeatedly suppressed it. Unexpectedly, the more suppressed, the more widespread those rumors would spread. People were sent to post notices to explain the truth. There were also rumors that the court deliberately distorted the truth for the sake of □. Rumors about the death of Chen were everywhere, which disturbed the people and the army.
Hearing what the courtiers said, Di Xiao sat paralyzed back on the throne, because he suddenly remembered the rumors that Di Qing had poisoned his father and the emperor. The people listened to the rumors. It was their ignorance, but as the emperor, Actually, like those foolish people, they were played with by rumors.
Looking at the defeated newsletters one after another, Di Xiao only felt that a mountain was pressing down on him, and he could not breathe. What if King Pingsha was defeated by all means? Their Chen Guo is about to die...
On the battlefield of Chen Pingzhou, the banner of the Qi army was advancing toward the main city of Chen Pingzhou in a thunderous manner against the fierce wind.
It will be over tomorrow!
