The winter sky is always so cold, so gloomy, so that people want to go home and burrow under the covers.

"Rotten bastard, tell me another story."

There was a voice in my ears that was like a nightmare, and I couldn't shake it off. Jia Qing turned his head, only to see Princess Xingyue open the curtain of the phoenix, and asked him with a little blushing.

"It's gone." He rode on a tall horse, tightened the general's cloak on his body, and unceremoniously refused.

Princess Xingyue's face sank, but she didn't have a seizure, but said to the old eunuch on the other side: "Lu Fang, I still want to go to Huangjue Temple to burn a stick of incense!" ”

Jia Qing: "......"

As a last resort, Jia Qing had no choice but to say: "Once upon a time, there was a fool, when others asked her anything, she said 'no', asked her if she had eaten, she said no, asked her what her name was, she also said no, has the princess heard of this story?" ”

"No ......"

Princess Xingyue subconsciously responded, seeing Jia Qing's strange expression, and then reacted.

"Bastard!" Princess Xingyue scolded. Then he suddenly laughed out loud and white-eyed.

"You're so bad!"

Jia Qing didn't care, and then said, "Okay, it's time to the mansion." ”

Princess Xingyue raised her eyes and saw that she had indeed arrived home.

"Princess, do we still want to go to Huangjue Temple?" Lu Fang glanced at the gloomy sky, feeling the raging cold wind, and said very tangledly.

"I'm not going!" Princess Xingyue took one last look at Jia Qing, jumped off the phoenix, and was surrounded by palace maids and entered the mansion.

"Commander Jia......" Lu Fang wanted to speak and stopped.

"What?"

Jia Qing tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"It's okay......" Lu Fang shook his head. He actually wanted to persuade Jia Qing not to be so rude to the princess......

Thinking about it, even the princess herself didn't mind, so why did he bother with it? Then he also turned and went into the house.

Jia Qing watched everyone else enter the mansion, but a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.

Since he injured his arm last time, he has been at home for two months, and then Emperor Zhengqing sent the imperial doctor to show him how badly he was injured, so he had to go back to the princess's mansion on an errand.

Then he found that Princess Xingyue seemed to be a different person, and she was much more polite to him.

Except for still calling that annoying "Ya name" and still scolding, just like just now, she won't be angry.

If it had been before, maybe I should have considered where to recuperate......

Also, Princess Xingyue is like she can't stay at home, two days in three days, especially when he is on duty, he always has to go out.

This time Huangjue Temple, next time Longxing Temple, and then next time Jingyue Temple......

Sometimes I have to run several places a day.

When the princess goes out, he naturally has to accompany her to protect her. So in the past few months, Jia Qing has almost accompanied her to visit the large and small fairy mountain Taoist temples and scenic spots inside and outside the capital.

He has been in the capital for more than ten years, and he has not visited more than one-tenth of the attractions in the capital in the past few months!

And he asked Niu Zhan and Shao Zilong in private, when he was not on duty, Princess Xingyue was not so active.

All of this made Jia Qing wonder, didn't this princess think it was boring to torture him, and changed her mind and wanted to soak him, right?

Thinking of this, Jia Qing first smiled narcissistically, and then shook his head.

Even if it's a princess, it's not so easy to soak up Young Master Ben. Young Master Ben won't give up a forest for a small sapling.

What's more, it's still a small sapling that doesn't protrude or warp.

With these thoughts that cannot be said to others, Jia Qing only entered the guard house to change his clothes, and then took Zhao Sheng back to Ningguo Mansion.

Skipping work is already the norm for him......

……

In the palace of the Golden Retriever Prince, the Golden Retriever and another middle-aged Russian with more hair than him spoke in their native language.

"General Kagor, does Fyodor really intend to make peace with Da Chu? Isn't he a war madman? This time, he dispatched most of the warriors under his command, how could he just stop the war, wasn't he afraid that those people in the royal city would impeach him? ”

Kagor sneered and said, "Does His Royal Highness the Prince think that a wise and martial person like Lord Fyodor will take the initiative to kiss these weak Chu people?" ”

The golden retriever prince was dissatisfied but did not show it. He knew that this Kagor was Fyodor's henchman, and that in his eyes he might only have Fyodor, not his father.

Otherwise, Fyodor would not have known that he had not escaped, but still resolutely sent troops, and did not offer to redeem him.

If it weren't for the fact that Da Chu's war culture was different from their Russia, he would have been slaughtered a long time ago!

One day, I will kill all of these damned dukes who disrespect the royal family, just as my father did when he was young......

After turning these thoughts in his mind, the golden retriever prince was still ignorant on his face, shook his head and said: "That's right, Sister Soraya has been staying in the royal city, how can she cross this thousands of miles away to come to Da Chu and Qin." ”

Kagor smiled gloomily: "It's good that His Royal Highness the prince understands......

His Royal Highness the Prince has been in Dachu for many years, and he should not have forgotten the purpose of His Majesty when he sent you over, right?

This battle is not only about the glory of Your Majesty and Lord Fyodor, but also about the glory of our entire great Russian, and all the nobles of the entire royal city are watching. Didn't those damned Germanic people always say that our great Russia would only occupy the ice fields and snow-capped mountains of the East like ice bears? This time, we will use the defeat of this ancient oriental country to show them that only we, the East Slavs, are the best and greatest people!

So, in order to win this battle, this time, Lord Fyodor needs the help of His Royal Highness the Prince......"

……

……

"Second Master ......"

Jia Qing strode into the study.

In his study, there were many people sitting at this time. In addition to Jia Yun and Yang Xu in Ningguo Mansion, there are also Xue Pan, Shen Congcheng and several other businessmen who are good friends with the Shen family.

They are all the bosses of several famous grain stores in Dachu.

"Please sit down ...... everybody"

Jia Qing sat down, and then went straight to the point: "I brought everyone here today, everyone should be able to guess something, the imperial court has accepted peace with Russia."

It is said that the Russians married one of their princesses to our Da Chu, and they wanted to trade with Da Chu and form an alliance forever. ”

Given that most of the people present were businessmen, it was possible that they didn't know about these government affairs, so Jia Qing simply told them about it.

In fact, Jia Qing was worried a lot, this matter was no secret for a long time, everyone had heard about it.

"So, you really don't want to fight? So why are we stocking up on food? It's a waste of energy, and this time it's a big loss......"

As soon as he heard that there was really no longer a war, Xue Pan suddenly shouted.

At the beginning, he thought it was a good opportunity to make money so he followed Jia Qing, but now that the war has only been fought for half a year, aren't they just tossing in vain?

The imperial court has not even used up the grain in Taicang, so it has not collected grain from the people. Even if these individual "profiteers" hoard on a large scale, the increase in food prices will be limited.

Although they all know that the imperial court is fighting, after all, it is in the border and has not come in. In addition, this year's annual success is not bad, and there have been no major natural disasters and rebellions, so that until now, even the price of grain in Guanzhong has risen to more than two taels.

According to this calculation, if the grain is sold now, after deducting the cost of tossing back and forth, such as building new granaries and transportation, there is basically no profit.

In this way, how could Xue Pan not be annoyed.

When the bosses of the grain store saw Jia Qing's eldest brother Xue Pan say this, their eyes were a little anxious.

They knew that Jia Qing had a large amount of food in his hands, and the Jia family was not in this business, so if they threw all their brains to them at that time, wouldn't they just have it in their hands?

is Shen Congcheng, he is not in charge of grain, and he is also a partner who was moved by Jia Qing to invest in grain hoarding together.

He saw that Jia Qing had no worry on his face, so he said, "I don't know what Brother Jia has planned?" We people have gathered a lot of food in our hands now......

If the imperial court really negotiates peace, it is conceivable that the price of grain in Dachu will definitely fall back soon, and maybe it will fall back to the level we purchased before. In that case, we're really working for nothing. ”

"Amazing, why didn't I think that if there was no war, those profiteers who hoarded grain with us would definitely be frightened and start selling grain immediately, and when the price of grain dropped, we would not lose to death?

No, no. We're going to sell the grain before they do, and we'll make a little bit of money...... Lao Chu, Lao Zhou, hehe, it's up to you to sell food......"

Xue Pan looked at the grain merchants and said shamelessly.

Although several people didn't dare to scold him, no one responded.
