Chapter 190: Troubled Border Southern Army (1st Shift)
There is no second room and Mrs. Wang in the palace, and Sanniang really feels unaccustomed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as they left, the scary people in the house also followed suit, including Zhang Cheng.
Although Sanniang didn't know what the old lady Wang was planning, she knew that it was impossible for him to really drive away the second room, and Zhang Cheng would come back.
It is better to let him follow the second room, which can be regarded as sharing the joys and sorrows with the second room, and can win Qiao's trust.
Zhao is still lukewarm to Sanniang, and Sanniang is also self-aware, except for getting up in the morning to say goodbye, try not to hang around in front of her.
Wang Wenxu has been running diligently in the palace these days, almost all of them are not at home, but fortunately, he was kicked out of the second room, he is equivalent to giving a statement to Concubine Shu, and people have not closed the door to him anymore.
There is no old lady in the house, and there is an old lady, and Sanniang will also go to the old lady to say goodbye. However, the old lady is an idle person, there are not so many rules, and he often goes out early, so Sanniang saves this rule.
Now there are fewer people in the palace, but they can see each other from time to time, but Wang Qixian, Sanniang has not seen him for half a month. It's a tassel, and it will still dangle in front of Zhao.
Now it is the second dog day, the hottest time, the capital also belongs to the north, because of the rain for a long time, the Jian'an River is about to bottom.
Traders have seen business opportunities, the price of rice and grain has risen several times, rice and noodles are already things that ordinary people can't afford, and cornmeal has become their first choice.
In this way, the people in the capital can barely get by.
The refugees who had gathered outside the city were driven by the guards to a village a mile outside the city because of the interception of the grain trucks.
Most of those refugees came from the villages and towns around the capital, and their families had no food in stock, and they couldn't grow anything in the fields, so they came to the capital to ask for the blessing of the Son of Heaven.
At first, it was better, but there were only a few people who came, and in order to show the grace of heaven, the saints also arranged a place for them to stay, and coarse tea and light rice were served every day.
In this way, everyone knew that the group of people who had come before had benefited, and they all broke their heads and came to the capital.
Now in July, autumn will be in some time, and I am afraid that more people will crowd into the capital by then.
Now there is no way to arrange a place for them to live like at the beginning, and they are fed twice a day. However, the saint was merciful and ordered people to go to the village at noon every day to give porridge, and a bowl of porridge every day was quite thick, and it was strong enough to hang their lives.
Wangchunlou Sanniang has not passed for a long time, but Yumei handed over this month's account book, there should be no mess.
This is not what Sanniang is most concerned about, what she is most concerned about is the Biannan Army stationed in Lingyun Temple.
She mentioned it to Wang Wenxu earlier, but before Wang Wenxu went to investigate, she was dragged by the influx of refugees from the capital and the southward grain collection. Now to mention this matter to Wang Wenxu again seems too positive, which will make Wang Wenxu suspicious of her.
Sanniang thought about it, and there was a way to get the best of both worlds.
still remembers meeting Lu Yiyang in Yinan, she thought about it for a long time, and felt that Lu Yiyang should also go south for food. How could such a smart person not think of the impact of the great drought in the north on food?
Sanniang didn't know how many border troops there were in Beijing, but she knew that these people needed to be well fed and drunk, otherwise what would they use to fight the enemy?
The King of Qi wants to take care of them, so naturally he can't shorten their food, so Lu Yiyang should go for this.
It's a pity that I didn't go at the right time, and I ran into those southern barbarians, and I almost got killed after finding nothing.
The grain stock in Beijing is limited, and the grain collected by the DPRK and the central government cannot be used by the border and southern armies, so if they want to survive, they can only spend a lot of money to buy grain in the hands of the merchants in the capital.
Sanniang didn't know how the Bian Nanjun survived in her previous life, in short, she wouldn't let them survive now.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly repaired a book and asked Zhang Lin to send it to Wangchun Tower.
She wants Yumei to continue to collect grain, buy some of the grain in the hands of those traders in Beijing, and give it to these families in Beijie at this price.
We still have to spread some rumors, that is, there is a shortage of food, and if we don't stock up on grain, there will be no food.
At that time, the grain was looted, and there was no room for the Lu family to turn around.
Of course, she is targeting the Biannan Army, and she will not leave a way for the people in Beijing to live. The grain she has in her tun will be sold, and the rich and noble families with the red wall of Biwa can slaughter it, and as for the ordinary people, as long as they do not lose money, they will also sell it to them.
However, I have to find someone close to me for this matter, and I have to go to Wangchun Tower to explain it to Yumei when the time comes, and let Yumei send someone to do it.
These are all in place, and there is another place on Su Qinyu's side.
He should have also bought a lot, don't sell it to the Lu family or the King of Qi at that time, so that her plan will fail.
Sanniang looked at the pigeon nest in the yard and remembered what Su Qinyu said to her, this pigeon knows the way to Sufu......
She didn't think much of it, but went back to the house and wrote another letter, rolled it into the letterbox, and prepared to let the carrier pigeon run away.
Sanniang didn't care about it for a long time, and when she caught the pigeon, she found that she was fat, and Shen Mama was still concerned.
Raising her hand, Sanniang sighed: "If you get fatter, you can slaughter and cook soup and drink ......."
It cooed twice, Sanniang laughed instead, Su Qinyu also said before that she should not fatten up and stew soup, if she really did this, I don't know if she would be in a hurry with her.
After tying the letterhead, Sanniang released the pigeon. She didn't expect Su Qinyu to reply to her letter, as long as she let him know that there was such a thing.
After a quiet period of time in the house, Qiao's came back, under the guise of going back to the house to get things, but in fact, he ran to Zhao's to complain.
said that the second master of the king went out of the palace, how he didn't treat her, how he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife; Second, he said how difficult the days were outside, and everyone had lost a lot of weight......
The Zhao family is a middleman, and he can't control either side, so he can only comfort Qiao's and ask her not to be stubborn and talk to Wang Erye.
Qiao's came back not to listen to her cool words at all, and when he saw that Zhao was not enlightened, he said: "Sister-in-law, we are living a miserable life outside, and our mother is also suffering, or ...... You can help us persuade my father......"
The Zhao family can't even be the master of Wang Wenxu, let alone the old lady Wang, I'm afraid that he will be scolded back as soon as he speaks.
"This ......" Zhao was very embarrassed: "Brother and sister, listen to me, it's not that my sister-in-law refuses to help you, but I really can't do anything." You know, over the years, I've never asked about the house......"
For the first time, Qiao Shi felt how annoying Zhao's weakness was, and lowered his face: "Nacheng, if you don't help me persuade my father, just lend me some money." We really can't open the pot, and we can't even eat a bowl of bird's nest until now. ”
Although the Zhao family was also born in a famous family, they are not as particular as these nobles in the capital, what kind of bird's nest shark fin is eaten, but it has not reached the point where they can't leave it every day. Therefore, after listening to Qiao's words, she didn't feel how miserable it was.
