Chapter 408: The Emperor's Request
Early the next morning, Song Zizhou and General Zhennan led an army of 100,000 to rush towards the northern frontier, but this time he left in a hurry, but he did not see Zhengrong again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhengrong had the intention to send her off, but because of her weak body, she was ordered not to go out, so she gave up. In the end, she thought that the two of them still had space, and they didn't have to worry about seeing each other.
At this time, the news of the war had already spread, and everyone knew about sending a Li Mansion.
At this time, Lu Yi complained to Zheng Rong, "This damn Jurchen tribe and Tartar, this time in the war, I don't know how many people will be consumed, and I don't know how many people will be displaced." ”
Zheng Rong heard what she said and looked up at her, "I didn't expect our family's greenery to be worried about the country and the people!" ”
Lu Yi was teased by her young lady, and stomped her foot a little embarrassed, "Miss, people are telling the truth, and you are still making fun of others?" ”
Zheng Rong smiled, but when Lu Yi said this, he reminded her anyway.
Since ancient times, the two armies have been at war, and grain and grass go first. However, this time, because of the hurry, Song Zizhou led an army of 100,000 to rush towards the northern frontier, and he didn't know what to eat and drink along the way.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly said to Luyi, "Luyi, you can call me!" ”
Green answered and walked out.
It didn't take long for him to be called, and Zheng Rong instructed him, "Yes, with the orders of the shopkeepers of our carrier pigeons, if the army of our dynasty passes by, we must prepare enough grain and grass for them to bring, at any cost!" ”
Hearing her words, she was stunned, her own young lady used to donate food and medicine, how can she be like this now, regardless of the cost, could it be that she is going to feed the entire army of wars?
Zheng Rong saw that he was still standing in front of him and didn't go out, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Don't hurry up and give the order! ”
He nodded and walked out.
In the end, he was stopped by Zhengrong, "By the way, you can send a message to Zhang Jingrui and ask him, has all the food in our Yifu City been transferred?" ”
Dexing replied again, "Yes, does Miss have anything else to do?" ”
Zhengrong shook his head, "No, you go down!" ”
After another two days, Zhengrong's complexion was much better, so he hurried over and said to Zhengrong, "Back to Miss, Zhang Jingrui said that General Cong helped him transport the grain out of Yifu City that day, and he had already made the decision to send all the grain in the city to General Cong, if you want to punish him, wait for him to come back!" ”
Zheng Rong nodded, "No need to be punished, that's what I meant!" ”
At this time, Emperor Jingxiao in the Qianqing Palace was stumped by the problem of grain and grass, he has been fighting for many years, his treasury is very empty, today called the household book to come, saying that he wanted the Song Zizhou to allocate some food, but he didn't expect the household book to tell him that the food in the treasury is insufficient!
Emperor Jing Xiao frowned, "Probably still able to feed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?" ”
Hubu Shangshu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the emperor, "I can only feed 100,000 soldiers and horses for a month......
Counting these people who went to support, there are almost twenty men and horses stationed in the entire northern Xinjiang, and with just such a little grain and grass, how should this battle be fought? They will starve to death before they are killed by the enemy!
Emperor Jing Xiao frowned and said to Hubu Shangshu, "Do you have any other ideas?" Now that taxes are being raised, is it too late? ”
Tobe Shangshu sighed, "If you go back to the emperor, it's really too late!" ”
Emperor Jing Xiao furrowed his brows and asked him, "Is there any other way?" ”
When Hubu Shangshu came, he had already thought of an idea, and when he waited for Emperor Jingxiao to speak, he hurriedly responded, "If you go back to the emperor, the fastest way now is to find the major grain merchants to collect grain!" ”
Speaking of these major grain merchants, Emperor Jing Xiao immediately thought of a person, and sighed, what happened before has not been decided for others, and now they have to pay out of their own pockets, which is really a little difficult to do!
He waved his hand at Tobe Shangshu, "You go down first, I will think about this matter again." ”
Emperor Jingxiao sat on the dragon chair and thought for a whole quarter of an hour before he said to Zhou Ningfu, "Go to the Li Mansion to pass the decree, let Zhengrong enter the palace to see me!" ”
Zhou Ning's rich girl answered and retreated.
When Zheng Rong heard Emperor Jing Xiao summoning her, she felt a little strange in her heart, as soon as Song Zizhou left on the front foot, Emperor Jing Xiao was about to summon her into the palace, I don't know what happened?
Zhou Ningfu's mouth was no better than that of Xiao Li's father-in-law, so she didn't get any news, so she had to follow Zhou Ningfu to the palace.
Fortunately, Emperor Jing Xiao also knew that she had just recovered from a serious illness, and sent a carriage to pick her up.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he changed into a soft sedan chair and carried it all the way to the gate of the Qianqing Palace.
Zhengrong entered the hall and was about to salute, but was stopped by Emperor Jingxiao, "That's it, you are not feeling well, you don't need to salute, Zhou Ningfu, give me a seat!" ”
Zheng Rong was even more puzzled, since Emperor Jing Xiao knew that she was unwell, why did he call her in so quickly?
But since Emperor Jing Xiao called her, he would definitely say it, and she was not in a hurry. As soon as he sat on the chair brought by Zhou Ningfu, he heard Emperor Jing Xiao really couldn't help but ask him, "Zhengrong, since we are about to become a family, I will not go around in circles with you, the treasury is empty in this war, and you can't take out so much grain and grass, I wonder if you can contribute something to the country?" ”
As soon as I heard this, I suddenly realized, it turned out that this was her grain and grass!
glanced at Emperor Jing Xiao, got up and hugged his fists at him, "If you go back to the emperor, you don't have to worry about this matter, you should do your best in this matter!" ”
Emperor Jing Xiao was relieved when he saw her without thinking, with the largest grain merchant taking the lead, then the rest would be easy to do!
waved his hand at Zhengrong, "You're welcome, sit down and talk." ”
Zheng Rong responded, sat down, and said to Emperor Jing Xiao, "It's not a secret, on the second day of the prince's expedition, the minister had already ordered him to go down and send all the grain stored by the Bran Hall in the major cities to the northern Xinjiang. ”
Emperor Jing Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, Zheng Rong's donation after his advice was naturally different from his voluntary donation, I didn't expect her to be so good, sure enough, the fourth child didn't treat her well in vain, it seems that this is also a conscience.
He nodded, according to her donation, the Li family is afraid that there will not be much money. She donated so much, naturally it is no longer a plaque that can be sent.
Thinking like this, Emperor Jing Xiao pondered it in his heart, and said to Zhou Ningfu, "Zhou Ningfu, I will give Master Li Dai Li as Qingyang!" ”
Zheng Rong was also stunned when he heard this, and quickly got up and knelt down, "Your Majesty, you don't need to be like this, donating food is the minister's own will!" ”
Emperor Jing Xiao shook his head, "There is no need to persuade me in this matter, I have my own considerations!" ”
When Zheng Rong heard this, he nodded and did not persuade again. Anyway, this is also their Li Mansion is cheap, isn't it? (To be continued.) )
