Chapter 374 Encounter
Jiang Xinyan listened to Xuanyuanchen and Cheng Xianping chatting. Although they were not nutritious, they worshiped them as a couple, so she listened happily.
She looked back at the man beside her, sweating profusely harvesting rice, Jiang Xinyan was too embarrassed to disturb him, so she continued to look at the situation outside.
Xuanyuanchen followed the dark guard quickly back to the conference hall. His father was sitting there in the same posture as before, with the military advisors, staff and generals present.
"Father, what's the problem for you?" It seems to be a very difficult matter, otherwise wouldn't it be so embarrassing?
"Chen'er, the sage wants us to raise 200,000 shi of grain, and the person who will deposit the grain will arrive in a few days." The King of Zhenbei said wearily.
"All the food we exchanged today is only 160,000 shi, so we give them all, so what will our Zhenbei Army eat!"
Xuanyuanchen was stunned: "Father, what does the emperor's uncle mean? If you don't give us military salaries, you still have to pay us back?"
"It was the commander of the Jinyiwei last time. He must have gone back and said that we had grown a lot of food. How could the sage believe it!"
The King of Zhenbei knew that because of the plague of locusts, the court could not pay the army, and the war in the south would continue, and other places would suffer from it. "The Holy One has no choice."
"The Holy Master has no choice but to find us? Father, North Vietnam will soon come to attack us. If the soldiers are not full, how will they fight?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, the Major General is right, we will hand over 150,000 shi to them," said a general.
"The most terrifying thing is, in case we hand in according to the quantity this time, the next time another imperial decree comes down, the appetite will grow bigger and bigger," said an aide.
"Father, at that time, what are we going to pay!" Xuanyuanchen also persuaded.
His father was fine in everything, but he was too obedient to the emperor's old man's words, he would not resist anything he said, and would rather suffer by himself.
Jiang Xinyan thinks that the King of Zhenbei has quite a lot of capable people. That's the truth. This time, 200,000 shi, you have paid enough, then next time, 500,000 shi...
This is obviously a bottomless pit, and there are even more terrifying things. The emperor has freed his hand and will definitely clean up the king of Zhenbei.
Jiang Xinyan got inspiration from the meeting between the king of Zhenbei and his subordinates, and quickly ran to Chu Lixuan to say.
"Husband, our food can no longer be sold to King Zhenbei. King Zhenbei doesn't think about anything when he is poor now. When he thinks about it, he will come over and destroy us!"
Chu Lixuan looked at his little wife's worried expression, "Xinxin can rest assured, because her husband knows what she has in mind, King Zhenbei still won't embarrass us.
Even if he has that intention, he doesn't have the ability to embarrass us, and soon he will fight against North Vietnam.
However, the emperor is not easy to say, and the husband has no intention of giving food to the king of Zhenbei.
Think about it, the emperor was so poor that he had to rely on the support of the King of Zhenbei, and the King of Zhenbei was still responsive to his needs, and he was inexhaustible.
Then, when the emperor frees his hand, the death of King Zhenbei is approaching, and we have been traced all the way..."
Although he is not afraid, but he has made life devastated and the people are not living, so even if he wins the world, it will be a serious sin.
He, Chu Lixuan, wants to win the hearts and minds of the people and the world, and that makes sense. If the world is peaceful, it would be a good thing for the couple to stay in the castle all the time.
"Husband just think about it, then why are you working so hard to grow so much food?" Thinking about it, I was frightened, scared my old lady to death, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Just in case, the war damages the crops, how can the people of Dongchen live! I want to save more food for my husband, and then save all sentient beings."
Chu Lixuan's real idea is that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and don't be displaced.
"The king of Zhenbei's staff and generals negotiated and the result was that they would pay 50,000 shi of rice and 100,000 shi of potatoes." Jiang Xinyan told him what she heard.
"Then the Zhenbei Army still has about ten days' worth of food. After a few more days of porridge, it's okay to dig some potatoes in advance."
"The King of Zhenbei seems to say that the person who will come to pick up the food this time is Commander Jinyiwei, husband, is Commander Jinyiwei so busy?"
"It's not that the commander is very busy, it must be his credit in front of the emperor. The emperor is in a lot of trouble now, and he wants to grab a life-saving straw."
"Haha... According to what you said, the commander wouldn't say that he drove North Vietnam out of the border!"
"The commander shouldn't be so shameless. After all, it's the credit of King Zhenbei, and he still doesn't dare to grab it." Chu Lixuan said with certainty.
Chu Lixuan did not have such a shameless leader in his mouth, and his party had entered the Pingqing Mansion and saw the Wei family.
"Wei Shangshu, why are you here?" Zhenfu envoy stepped forward and asked in surprise.
"Master Commander, where are you going to run an errand? Caomin has now resigned and brought his clansmen back to their ancestral home for the elderly."
Wei Dabin's father, Wei Kanglin, the former minister of households, bowed to say hello.
"Where is the ancestral home of Lord Wei? This time I will take my men to Youzhou City to deposit grain and grass." The leader still gave Wei Kanglin a lot of face.
"There are still thousands of miles to go to Youzhou. The commander has worked hard. You all have a good rest. We will find a place with beautiful scenery in the territory of Pingqing Prefecture."
Wei Kanglin was shocked when he heard the commander's words. They went to Youzhou to deposit grain and grass? Is there food in Youzhou so poor?
Could it be that they found out about Lord Chu's food? He heard his son say that their father's food was inexhaustible.
We planted a lot of crops this year, and the entire Wei clan moved here, but Wei Kanglin has been an official for many years.
They are good at hiding their emotions, and there is no sign of worry on their faces. Their ancestral home is Guanshan County in Pingqing Prefecture.
They wouldn't go there to live, and they didn't have food to eat there, and along the way, Lord Chu helped them.
also sent people to protect their clansmen, the boys can't wait to fly, hurry up to the mud town of Youzhou City.
Its just that they have a lot of female relatives, and there are elderly people, so it is not convenient to travel, and another is that there is food along the way.
Mrs. Chu specially told them to slow down on the road, safety first, just play in the mountains and water, don't rush and walk slowly.
"Master Wei, please take care of yourself. I still have important things to do in this seat, so I won't accompany the adults to drink. We will meet again later."
Lord Commander could never have imagined that Wei Kanglin and his family went to Youzhou. Since he resigned and returned to his hometown, he did not need to be more polite.
"The commander is a very busy person, so just go and get busy!" Wei Kangling wished they would leave quickly.
Jin Yiwei is not easy to provoke, and he will tell the emperor if there is any trouble, if Jin Yiwei finds out, their Wei family members are going to join Master Chu.
The consequences are very serious. It seems that after they leave the Pingqing Mansion, they will go down the trail and cannot take the official road.
Wei Kanglin didn't know that the Nie family was on the way, but their Nie family didn't meet Jin Yiwei.
