Chapter 260: Peer
Lu Li listened to Gu Zhun's words, and thought about it in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The current head of the Ji family is called Ji Da, who is the righteous brother of the Jiang family, the wife of the Marquis of Dingbei, and the relationship between the Jiang family and this righteous brother has always been very good, and the Ji family is her maiden family!
Don't look at this righteous brother as a businessman, I think he was also a well-known number one person on the battlefield back then.
He was not famous for his military exploits, but for his righteousness and squandering money.
The specific situation is not clear to Lu Li, and he has only heard his father mention it once.
At that time, when Lu Congyi and Gu Zhun were still young, they said that the Huns attacked in a big way that year, and the most wasteful thing in this war was undoubtedly food and medicine, and the money, food and medicine in the army were quickly exhausted.
Gu Zhun was the son of the Duke of Enyi at that time, and his medical skills were already very good, but it was difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, and without medicine, even if he had amazing medical skills, it would be in vain.
The old prince of the Weiyuan Mansion connected three urgent letters to the emperor.
The emperor was also in a hurry, even to the point of foaming his mouth!
At that time, Tang Shuo, who was still the prince of Dingbei, gave the emperor an idea to collect it in Yunzhou and nearby, of course, he picked up the goods first and then gave the silver, after all, the silver was still being counted and packed in the treasury!
The emperor was worried that many traitors would stand up at this time to make a fortune, and some people in the court said that it would be better to just kill a hundred people, and the emperor thought that this method was feasible after consideration.
The emperor was invited by the queen, and when she arrived at the queen, she saw that Jiang was also there, and the queen directly handed over a letter to the emperor, and the emperor looked at Jiang a few more times, and then laughed.
It turned out that the letter was sent from Yunzhou, and the content was very simple, that is, the soldiers of Yunzhou defended their families and the country, and the letter writer said that since he could make some efforts, he would definitely come out, and he had ordered people to send four carts of medicinal materials to the battlefield, and at the same time donated 10,000 taels of silver to do their best for the border soldiers.
10,000 taels, the number is not small, but for hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border gate, it is too small, so the first emperor is naturally not this 10,000 taels of silver!
What he is trying to do is Ji Da's attitude towards this matter, a businessman can do it to this extent, even if you don't donate silver to others, are you embarrassed to make a fortune?
The first emperor ordered people to rush to Yunzhou with a holy decree, and praised the Ji family in a variety of ways in front of the public, saying that the Ji family was patriotic, knew the importance of it, and was a model, and promised the Ji family to be the emperor's businessman, and there would be another reward when the war subsided.
There was also a decree that grain, medicines, etc., should be collected in nearby states and counties, and it was stated that the goods would be taken first and then the silver.
As soon as this order came out, many border towns such as Yunzhou, Jicheng, and Yongzhou, as well as nearby states and counties, responded one after another, and pharmaceutical merchants and grain merchants did not dare to hoard grain.
Jokes, you continue to hoard?
Beware of a holy decree that says you are not patriotic!
Doing business, although it is said to be harmonious and make money, but who has no grievances and grievances among peers? When the time comes, others will be charged with collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and that will be a big crime of punishing the nine clans!
So that year, at the most critical moment, it was Ji Da's "righteousness and squandering money" that stabilized the army's heart, and finally won the war, and everyone said that Ji Da was the biggest hero.
Of course, some people say that the hero should be Tang Shuo, and some people say that it is Jiang's, who let her have a good brother!
In short, the battle was extremely dangerous, and the merits of the battle fell on the heads of others!
The Mu family, who should have the most meritorious military exploits, was not only unknown, but was even reprimanded by the emperor.
Since then, everyone has tacitly agreed that this matter is rarely mentioned, resulting in Lu Li only knowing that Ji Da is fighting righteousness and squandering wealth on the battlefield, so that the soldiers can have food and medicine, so that Grandpa Mu Laoguo can stabilize the morale of the army and defeat the Huns.
But why the army led by the Mu family fell to the point where it needed relief from others, he did not know.
Therefore, when Lu Li heard Gu Zhun ask him if he knew that it was not the Tang family's thoughts, he kept an eye on it.
Seeing Ji Yanhua at this time, she took the initiative to say hello, and he naturally didn't want to speak.
"Miss Ji, originally Miss Ji was willing to go with us for safety, and there was no reason to refuse, but this time it was the emperor's order that the next line would first go to Langzhou to meet the left army, and then drive from Langzhou to Yunzhou, and it was really inconvenient for the army to take the woman on the road."
Ji Yanhua smiled, "Langzhou? Since General Lu Shao arrived in Langzhou to join the army, wouldn't it be just right? ”
"What?" Lu Li didn't understand for a while.
"I have heard that there is a serious problem of bandits in Tangshan, and there are big roads and official roads in other places, but even if it is an official road in Tangshan, bandits are still rampant, as long as they pass Tangshan, the little woman will have nothing to fear."
Lu Xuan sighed, Ji Yanhua has done enough homework!
From Yanjing to Yunzhou, there are many mountains to pass along the way, but if you take the official road, you only need to pass through one mountain in Guitangshan, so the bandits on Guitangshan are more serious.
The Langzhou government has been purged several times, but each time it has been unsuccessful.
I heard that not only are there many bandits, but the bandits' dens are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many organs, so it is really difficult to attack them.
"This matter, don't count what I said below, this time it is Yunzhou is grandfather's decree, and we are just following."
Ji Yanhua tilted his head, and the corners of his lips smiled just right, "Does Major General Lu think I'm troublesome?" ”
Lu Li didn't even look at Ji Yanhua, "I don't mean to do this, I just tell the truth." ”
He was anxious, why didn't Shangying come back?
The smile on Ji Yanhua's face did not go away, but his heart was already frozen, and his anger was monstrous, and it was like this again!
Lu Li has always been so absent-minded to her, he was polite to her at the beginning of his previous life, thinking about avoiding suspicion everywhere, and then he was careless, and even had the intention to avoid it!
What is so good about Mu Yanqing's woman that she made him so desperate?
When she first arrived in Yanjing, she heard that Lu Li and Mu Yanqing had just been married for only a few months, and she was thinking that it would be best if the relationship between the two was not so deep, and it would be easier to destroy it at this time.
The first time she met them in Xingxinglao, she found that Mu Yanqing didn't even know that Lu Li didn't eat spicy food, and she began to rejoice that she had a great chance of going to Yanjing this time.
The second time, she deliberately waited for Mu Yanqing to leave outside the city gate, Lu Li's expression was faint at that time, she felt that he had just separated, and he was still a little sad in his heart, if he was not sad at all, then he was not Lu Li!
She felt that he could continue to wait, and sooner or later he would have her in his heart!
Today is the third time they have met, and she finally discovered an important question, Lu Li really has deep feelings for Mu Yanqing, but why?
In the past, she thought that Lu Li would fall in love with Mu Yanqing because of repaying the favor, after all, it was Mu Yanqing who saved his leg, but now it seems that this is not the case!
"Second Master!" Shangying finally squeezed back, saw that everyone saluted everyone first, and said loudly, "The wishing river lantern for the young lady has been bought!" ”
Lu Li bowed his head and said to Ji Yanhua, "I won't disturb the girls' Yaxing who enjoys the lanterns." ”
