But this is not what Li Qian and Jiang Xian are worried about. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

What they were worried about was that there was no food to eat on the side of Zhenguogong.

Liao Xiuwen and Jiang Zhenyuan fought a war for almost three years, and the fields were all barren, and when they took over Liaodong, all industries were in ruins, and where was there still grain to be stored? Once there was a shortage of food and little food, the people's hearts would be unstable, and the people's hearts would be unstable, and there would be no way to control Liaodong.

Before Zhenguogong, he had a word with the court about recruiting soldiers, and the soldiers and grain and grass were all solved by themselves.

Li Qian said: "I'm afraid that the little money in the Zhenguo Mansion has also been almost consumed in the past two or three years!"

In his previous life, the Jiang family gave Jiang Xian not only spiritual but also material support. She knows the Jiang family's background best.

Hearing this, she couldn't help but nod helplessly, and said, "It is estimated that my eldest aunt's private money has been pasted in." ”

Li Qian muttered: "I can't help with other things, but I can support my uncle and them with some food first." ”

The more money he has, the better.

Jiang Xian understood in his heart. At this time, Li Qian's ability to take out grain and grass was already the greatest support for the Jiang family.

She was still a little worried, and said, "Don't be arbitrary, let's discuss with Xie Yuanxi." ”

Although Li Qian didn't say it, Jiang Xian understood it in his heart.

The flooding of the Yellow River was suppressed back then, and this matter was settled, but the Yellow River has been flooding every year since then, and the river is in urgent need of dredging, but those officials are afraid that this matter is being pressed down by Wang Jidao and Su Peiwen, and they dare not mention the dredging of the river, for fear of offending Wang Jidao and Su Peiwen and others, resulting in the disaster in Henan that no one cares about, so the disaster is allowed to repeat itself year after year. So much so that all the people sold in the Xi'an servant women market were from Henan. Even a few days ago, during the 100-day banquet of Dong Sango's eldest son, many housewives were there complaining about Henan servants: "...... Either the family fled and escaped, or there were orphan mothers and brothers, who often hid food or old clothes to help their relatives outside, and who could stand it if it went on like this. ”

In addition to the floods in the south of the Yangtze River last summer, Huzhou, Jiaxing and other large tax-paying counties in the south of the country were affected, but the imperial court also forcibly requisitioned, causing a mutiny of Liu Lazhi and others, the court sent Yang Jun to Jiangnan to calm the trouble, Yang Jun was originally a Jiangnan person, many large families have suffered heavy losses, he is unwilling to hurt Xiangzi, he is talking about the bandits, but he sang with Li Zhengyi, the general soldier of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and closed his eyes. Li Zheng calculated.

In her previous life, because of her strength, although very little silver was invested in the dredging of the Yellow River, she did not let Henan be empty, and the Yellow River did not flood every year. On the Jiangnan side, she was exempted from taxes for two years, and a lot of silver was drawn from the Lianghuai salt transport, which was presided over by Cao Xuan, and sent people to Huguang to buy grain, so that she could barely get through the crisis.

And now, the imperial court is left alone, the nine sides are too busy to take care of themselves, the grain from Huguang can't come in, and the grain and grass from Shaanxi can't get out, Li Qian still has to raise the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command and send food to Jiang Zhenyuan, which is equivalent to saving money from the mouths of his own soldiers, and whoever it is in exchange will not happily agree.

Li Qian obviously has such concerns.

It's not his own business.

This is a major matter related to whether the generals of the two divisions and guards can eat enough.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he mentioned this matter to Xie Yuanxi, Xie Yuanxi laughed and said, "I'm still wondering when you will mention this matter to me!"

Li Qian couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "I'm so obvious?"

"Yes!" Xie Yuanxi said with a smile, "Ever since you knew that Zhen Guogong had won the battle, I have been a little distracted, and we all guess that you are worried about the affairs of Liaodong." ”

"We?" Li Qian couldn't help but smile and said, "Who else but you?"

"Yunlin, Wei," Xie Yuanxi said, "It's us!"

Li Qian laughed.

Xie Yuanxi said: "I have discussed this matter carefully with Yun Lin. I thought that grain and grass were scarce, and if I had to support Liaodong, I thought it would be better to give silver. Who knew that I sent someone to inquire, and the grain in the capital is now rising, and the original one stone of grain is one or two or eight yuan, but now it has risen to three or four yuan, that is, corn grits, which has also risen from the original five to six yuan to one or two six yuan. I heard about this a few days ago, and it is said that it has risen again. Many families in the capital could not afford to eat food, so they went to Fangxian and Wanping, and some simply went to relatives in the countryside. ”

Li Qian was stunned.

Although he usually looked at the accounts of the barracks, he seldom asked how much the food cost per stone.

"In other words, if we sincerely help Zhen Guogong, we can only give food!" he thought in his heart, "How much is the grain we received at that time?"

Xie Yuanxi said with a smile: "We collected it early, and we asked for a lot, and it was almost eight dollars a stone. ”

Li Qian couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder some general military offices are selling grain. I used to think that they were exchanging old rice for new grain, but now it seems that it is difficult to make a fortune for the country. ”

Xie Yuanxi was not worried, and said: "I'm afraid it won't work if it goes on like this! I'm afraid that the situation will become more and more severe, and the capital will transfer grain to the surrounding guards." ”

Li Qian sneered and said, "That's also Xia Zhe's business." They don't even think about the grain on our side, a grain of rice. Speaking of this, he remembered his father Li Changqing, and hurriedly said: "Master, you have to find a way to notify you." ”

Otherwise, if Li Changqing was short of grain, he would not be able to "borrow" grain to Zhenguo Gong in a big way.

Xie Yuanxi smiled when he heard this: "You don't have to worry about this. Mr. Liu had already stockpiled a large amount of grain and grass, and he was going to exchange it for something else with those who lacked food. Mr. Liu was still afraid of our carelessness, so he wrote to me a long time ago. Knowing that we also hoarded a lot of grain on our side, he also warned me not to ruin the reputation of adults for the sake of petty profits, and would rather lend grain to others than sell it. ”

Li Qian couldn't help but rejoice.

Fortunately, the person who came up with the idea next to his father Li Changqing was Liu Li, if it was a different person, in the face of such huge interests, I don't know if I could hold it!

He said: "Then you should go and contact the Zhenguo Mansion to see how much food they need. If the time drags on for a long time, I am afraid that it will be dragged out. Especially in the capital, when there is a shortage of food, nine times out of ten, we will first ask us to transfer food to them. ”

Li Qian won several battles in a row, and because of Zhao Xiao, he got the power to recruit new soldiers, and his authority became heavier. Wang Jidao and others did not regret it, but the situation at that time was that there were Han Tongxin and King Jian in the front, and Jiang Xian and Jiang Zhenyuan in the back, as if the west wall was demolished to make up the east wall, it could only be so. Therefore, once there is something that can hurt Li Qian, they have always been happy to do it.

Xie Yuanxi also knew.

He said solemnly: "You can leave this matter to me with confidence! I promise not to let the imperial court take away a grain of grain." ”

Li Qian bowed his head and patted Xie Yuanxi's shoulder heavily.

It's just that what neither of them expected was that Jiang Zhenyuan only borrowed ten loads of grain from Li Qian, and said that he would return the grain after the autumn harvest next year.
