After three months. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The summer heat in Dadian is unbearable, the spring sacrifice does not seem to have taken effect, not even the shadow of raindrops has been seen for several days, and the crops in the field are dying.
Last year, due to the drought, the people's harvest was sharply reduced to one-third, barely enough for the people to make a living. He also ordered the collection of part of the tax, which caused many vicious incidents of grain snatching in the north in recent months, and there is a tendency to spread...
The northern border of Great Yunnan borders the Beiqiu of South Vietnam, and the people on both sides are just separated by a Lishui River, which can be said to lead the whole body, and the people on both sides harass and rob each other by boat, and the people complain of bitterness, and there is nothing to be done.
The king of Nanyue has always been eyeing the tiger, but the drought in Dadian for two consecutive years, the grain depot is empty, and he does not dare to rashly send troops to suppress it, fearing that South Vietnam will take the opportunity to incite a riot and trigger a war between the two countries.
The people on both sides of the Lishui River had to harass each other, and in order to snatch food, they were afraid that they would not even remember which country they were. Beiqiu is the fief of Zhao Yebai in South Vietnam, and he wanted to contact Zhao Yebai privately to discuss strategies, but Zhao Yebai has disappeared for several months.
At present, the taste of Qiang is anxious, and the displaced people in the north are running around, some have fled to South Vietnam to save their lives, and some have already come to Jincheng. In the year of the great drought, the people could not find food. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, worried day and night, anxious for the ministers to discuss strategies, and the ministers also shook their heads and had nothing to do.
In desperation, he posted a list of kings and told the people that if anyone could solve the rebellion in the north, he would be rewarded with 10,000 gold and crowned as knights.
When Jiang Yuji saw the Wang Bang on the city wall, she took it off and entered the palace with the Wang Bang.
She carried Wang Bang into the Taihe Palace, all the way unimpeded, leaving only the right minister Xie Junlin, the left minister Zhuang Hongpardon, and the minister of Taiwei Meng Liao humerus present.
For today's plan, this food is the key, and when the people in the palace are at a loss, Jiang Yu has been led into the hall by Shao Yin.
Jiang Feiji held the king list high with both hands, not above her head, Ying Ying knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid have a clever plan to solve the rebellion in the north." ”
Tasting Qiang, the other three looked at each other, who is this woman, she has such a big breath, and she dares to reveal the king's list.
Only Meng Liao's eyes burst with a cold murderous aura, Meng Nanyu had already told him that this slave was a wild seed that tasted Qiang, and she was very cunning, and taught him to get rid of it as soon as possible.
"Tell me, what are your clever plans?"
Jiang Feiji lingered on the sickbed for a few days, and went to see Qiang twice, but he didn't expect that after Jiang Feiji recovered from his illness, he actually unveiled the Wang Bang and came to teach him to be very happy. This is his daughter.
"To solve the riots in the north, the key is still food, the riots are caused by natural disasters, if you can borrow food, until the autumn, you will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties. Jiang Yu got up, and Lang Lang replied, confident between his eyebrows.
"Do you need to say more? The problem is that the grain depot is empty now, and there is no grain to send to the north. Meng Liao snorted and mocked.
"Taiwei Meng, this grain is naturally borrowed from other countries!" Jiang Yu didn't care, looking at Meng Yan's expression, the undisguised ridicule and hatred in his eyes, Jiang Yu had a full view.
"It's easy to say, in the four countries of the world, Yelang and Dadian have broken off diplomatic relations for several years, and they don't communicate with each other, so how can they borrow grain from the Bamboo King. South Vietnam has always been wealthy, but it is a man-eating tiger that is eyeing the Great Dian tiger, and if they take this opportunity to send troops, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although this sentence is an in-law relationship between the town and Dadian, it is also incompatible with each other. How do I borrow food?"
Meng Liao's words were disdainful, and he simply analyzed the situation in the world, he didn't think about borrowing grain. However, it is not easy to borrow grain from other countries, and how can it be difficult to pull down the skin and open up with other countries.
Jiang Yuji was not angry, Meng Liao said very much, but he only said the current shortcomings, but did not mention the important places, or rather, he knew but deliberately did not point it out.
"What Meng Taiwei said is very true, but the in-law relationship between this town and Dadian is not as good as your relatives, you and the queen of Jumachi are brothers and sisters, and the prince of Min has been under your care in Dadian for many months. However, Dadian has a large population, and this year is a drought, and I am afraid that the borrowed money will be a drop in the bucket, and I can only make up some holes. Jiang Yuji calmed down and spoke idly.
I thought to myself, Meng Liao, you have the ability, you can borrow it, and see if Meng Zhen will lend it to you.
"It's just a fool's dream, this royal in-law is not an ordinary family, although Queen Meng is my sister, but she is the queen of Jumachi, and she should be the queen of Jumachi, how can I be able to move in a few words. ”
Meng Liao excused himself, he didn't accept this hot potato, and if this matter of borrowing grain was not done well, the two countries would fall into war, so he would definitely be dragged down.
"Since Taiwei Meng refused, he didn't put the current predicament of Dadian in his eyes, and you refused to give it a try, so you categorically refused, which shows that you don't want to solve problems for the king in your heart, so why are you a Taiwei?"
Taste Qiang's heart is irritable, do these two people have a grudge, how can they ridicule each other, it is really upsetting, and he immediately said, "Taiwei Meng, you really don't give it a try?"
If it is necessary to borrow grain, Meng Liao is indeed the most suitable candidate, after all, Queen Jumachi is his own sister.
"The king's ministers are really ... Meng Liao was very embarrassed and obviously unwilling.
Taste Qiang's face sank.
"This is the clever plan you offered? Borrow grain from Ju Town?" Taste Qiang turned to ask Jiang Yuji, where is this grain so easy to borrow? In this world, as long as it involves major national affairs, family affection is worthless.
Besides, he lost Meng Zhen back then, but he was afraid that Meng Zhen would resent him in his heart, so how could he help him.
"Borrowing grain from Ju Town is only the first step, even if Ju Town is willing to borrow, but the road is far away, far water can not quench the thirst, I am afraid that the food is still on the way, those hungry people have long been out of control, forming a force, either pouring into Jincheng, or rebelling, this people only care about food and clothing, regardless of the country. Jiang Yu talked eloquently, but worried.
What she said was exactly what Xie Junlin was worried about, although the Xie family was rich enough to rival the country, it was impossible to spend money to buy grain for no reason.
The people in the hall are all pregnant with ghosts, each has their own calculations, and they also know about it, but they are helpless, he doesn't want such a meritorious event to be recorded on the heads of the Zhuang family and the Xie family, he expects Meng Liao to relieve his worries and promote him to his position.
"This is also what the king is worried about, Jumachi is in the rainy season, even if you borrow food on the road, I am afraid that it will delay a big event. "Taste Qiang agrees with Jiang Yuji's words.
In order to quell the rebellion in the north as soon as possible, the king could only borrow grain from the neighboring South Vietnam. Jiang Yu saw that Meng Liao was disgraced, and stood aside in a deflated manner, no longer speaking.
"South Vietnam is now eyeing the north, and has long had the intention of annexing the northern border, where is it willing to lend grain to Dadian. Xie Junlin interjected.
"Your Majesty, the North Hill of Nanyue is the closest to the northern border of Great Yunnan, and the North Hill is the territory of Zhao Yebai, the King of Beijing, we don't have to borrow grain from the King of Nanyue, just open to the King of Beijing, there may be room for things to turn around, the slave and maid are willing to go to the North Hill to borrow grain, and they must live up to their mission. Jiang Yuji knelt down straight, with a calm face, not joking.
Everyone present was surprised, this slave was crazy, and said such a thing that didn't know whether to live or die?
