Chapter 263: The Year of Calamity
I don't know how the farce ended at noon yesterday, but Wen Jing said a particularly surprising news, so much so that Wen Xiu still hasn't slowed down.
Mu Qingge was sitting in the study looking at the book in his hand, and Feng Wuchen next door opened the curtain and walked over and said, "Qing'er, the messenger of the Heshuo Department has arrived." ”
"I know that." Mu Qingge looked back at the person who walked in and said, "How about it, just use the idea I gave you?" ”
Feng Wuchen nodded, he couldn't think of any better way to deal with this matter than Mu Qingge, so he also felt that the matter she arranged was very good.
It's just that he thought about it and said: "But Qing'er, I don't know if you have heard that the snow in the northwest seems to be bigger and more fierce than that in the capital, if it continues to fall like this, I am afraid that this winter will not be easy." ”
The end of the autumn waterlogging has not yet been done, but I didn't expect a sudden snowstorm to fall soon, originally this year's snow came much earlier than usual, and it was really easy to have an accident in this situation.
"Is there any arrangement on the imperial court?"
"There hasn't been any movement yet, and I just heard that the excerpts from the northwest have just been sent to the emperor."
If such a natural or man-made disaster occurs, I am afraid that the emperor himself will not dare to investigate this matter casually, and if there is turmoil, it will be troublesome.
Seeing that Mu Qingge also thought of this matter thoughtfully, Feng Wuchen said: "Give up, this is not a good opportunity at this time, let's talk about those things later." ”
"I know."
Mu Qingge could only nod and agree: "But if there is really a frost disaster in the northwest, the imperial court is afraid that it will be more difficult in the next year or two." ”
"It's okay, the past few years have been a big harvest year, and there are not a few grains that can be pumped out across the country, so it's not a headache, and the real headache is that if there is really a disaster of swords, I'm afraid that even if the treasury is abundant, it will be useless." Feng Wuchen dragged over a chair and said, "Qing'er, tell me, if this thing happens, what will Feng Wuchen do?" ”
Mu Qingge knew Feng Wufang very well, and she had already prepared for this frost disaster in her heart, so she just said: "Feng Wufang is afraid that he will secretly control the situation in the northwest, so as to take the opportunity to shuffle all the situations in the northwest, although his people take the opportunity to control the entire northwest, but in fact it is still not possible, if he really encounters cholera, he will have a chance to fully control it." ”
"You have a point." Feng Wuchen rubbed his head and thought for a long time before saying, "If that's the case, isn't it good to let Su Rui go and harass Heshuobu?" ”
"You can do this thing, I have my own arrangements."
Mu Qingge said with certainty: "Have you forgotten that in addition to the Heshuo Tribe, there is also the Yezir Khan Department on the grassland, and my people are negotiating with them, although it can't be said how useful it is, but at least there is no problem in stabilizing their tribe from turmoil." ”
If a Heshuo Khan wants to fight for the tiger, he still has to weigh his own strength.
Feng Wuchen listened to Mu Qingge's arrangement, nodded a lot more relieved, and said, "You are still more thoughtful about this matter. ”
"After all, I can do business with their tribe, and I make a lot of money." Mu Qingge wrapped his clothes tightly and walked back and forth in the room twice, saying, "It's just that the wind is flawless...... What if he doesn't make a move in the normal way? ”
The meaning of Mu Qingge's words Feng Wuchen also understood, she was afraid that Feng Wuchen would do something to the court, although this matter seemed to be a precautionary measure, but in fact, in her memory, this incident was bound to happen.
So now, Feng Wuchen is already very sure in his heart that Mu Qingge has come back with him, but he doesn't know why he forgot about himself.
"Although my influence in the court is not very great now, at least my father-in-law, General Mu Yun, is still a little majestic, let him be careful in this matter." Feng Wuchen proposed: "After all, there is no better way to defend against people, so let's do it reluctantly." ”
Mu Qingge nodded with a serious expression, got up and said, "Then I'll go back and talk to my father." ”
Yesterday's snow had just stopped for a short time before it started falling again, and the snow swept by the crescent moon in the yard was more than half a person high, and I didn't know when the snow was going to fall.
Mu Qingge walked outside tremblingly in his fur clothes.
At this moment, the princess's mansion was already covered in silver, and the doorman at the door saw the princess and her aunt going out, and hurriedly came out to say hello.
"Is there enough charcoal fire at home?" Mu Qingge entered the gatehouse and took a look, there were two taels of good wine in the stove and a sweet potato that he had nibbled on, there were four people on errand today, all of them were in the house.
The foreman hurriedly stood up and bowed down and said, "If you want to reply to you, we have enough charcoal here." ”
took out a few ingots of broken silver and threw them to the foreman, Mu Qingge looked at them and said: "It's not very easy for the brothers to take care of the family and nursing home in such weather, from today until the snow stops, I will add two taels of wine money to you every day to warm your body." ”
"Mrs. Xie."
Mu Qingge takes good care of the people in the house, especially here where she is completely in charge, so the family members in the family are also very grateful to meet such a good master.
On the contrary, Feng Wuchen's sense of presence at home is much lower, and he is reluctant to take care of the affairs of the house, which have always been handed over to Mu Qingge to manage.
Looking at Mu Qingge who came out, Feng Wuchen walked beside him and said, "I said, you weren't like this before, right?" Aren't you known as the Princess of Cold Noodles? How can you be so good to the people at home now. ”
"In the past, the money in my hand was not enough for me to make it myself, even if I wanted to be nice to them, I was powerless, but now I have a lot more money in my hands, and I don't care much about adding something to them, so why not?" Mu Qingge walked beside him and shuddered and bumped into Feng Wuchen and asked, "I said, do you really think I'm cold-faced and ruthless?" ”
This is not true, Feng Wuchen just smiled and didn't speak, but he still felt that this kind of Mu Qingge was more like the one in his heart.
"Forget it, I told you that you don't understand." Mu Qingge looked at Feng Wuchen with disdain and said, "Among these many princes, you have always been able to run a family, and you have never been poor since you were a child, right?" ”
