Chapter 223: Han Bi'er Gives Advice
***
A carriage slowly drove towards the Xuanwu Gate, and the palace guards guarding the gate immediately shouted: "Stop, who is coming?" ”
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a pretty girl ring stretched out a jade plate carved with a phoenix, and the guards saw it and hurriedly let it go, and the carriage slowly entered the small side door. The guards guarding the door whispered.
"Hey, it's the enchanting female proprietor of Sanshenglou again, and she must be here to send fetal medicinal food to Queen Liu again."
"You said that Sanshenglou is making money every day, and this female owner is still so simple in taking a car, why is it so economical?"
"You don't understand this, Sanshenglou makes a lot of money, but Baicaotang is also a bottomless pit, haven't you seen it? Every ten days when it comes to the day of medicine, hundreds of people go to line up to get medicine, like my next door Wang Er's family, the illness has been cured early, seeing that the medicine in Baicaotang is good, but pretending to be sick is not good, and going to ask for medicine a few times. also lost a lot of money to Sanshenglou, otherwise the female owner was afraid that she would lose it all. ”
"It's not as serious as you say, this female proprietor is shrewd, I heard that a pill for malaria can be sold to those big families for dozens of times. How much Baicaotang enters every day, I'm afraid you don't know how much. ”
"Didn't you say that the pills for malaria were all precious herbs? How much can she earn? ”
"Call you stupid, think about it, just such a small pill, even if it is made entirely of ginseng, it is not worth so much money? Can she not earn? ”
"As far as you're smart, those rich people are as stupid as me, knowing that her medicine is expensive?"
"The whole capital is effective in treating malaria with the pills of Baicaotang, don't you try it, those noble people's lives are expensive, what is the money for dozens of dollars in order to save their lives?"
"It's strange to arrive, Baicaotang and Sanshenglou are so profitable, but no one makes up their minds?"
"You stupid man! What's the idea? You go and try it, do you know who this female owner is? ”
"How do I know? I heard that the identity of this female owner is very mysterious. ”
"I also faintly heard some rumors that this female owner is the concubine of Bachelor Yang. Who is Mr. Yang? The Khitan people, the party members, were killed by him, and before he was awarded the official, he almost set foot in Kaifeng Mansion and overturned Dali Temple! Even the king of Suining dared to fight. This lord and Zhang Xianggong are old friends, Su Xianggong is his father-in-law, Li Xianggong is his grandfather, and the prime ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all his family, who dares to fight his family's idea, this is not the birthday of the prince hanged, and he earns a long life?"
"Oh...... By the way, didn't Bachelor Yang sever the relationship between his ancestors and grandchildren with Li Xianggong and set up another door? ”
"Master Yang did what he said and set up another door, but Li Xianggong was probably reluctant, do you think, if you have such a grandson, are you willing to admit it? My family lives in Jingmingfang, and I often see the daughter of the Li Mansion running to Bachelor Yang's house, do you say that if Li Xianggong really doesn't recognize Bachelor Yang, can he let his granddaughter run to Yang's house all day long? ”
“……”
In the car, Aoba always felt that it was not enough, and in this life, she never thought that she could enter and leave the palace so easily.
In the past, when she was in Hangzhou, even the legendary bustling city of Tokyo was an unattainable dream for her.
Now, it is easy to enter and exit the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, although this is not the first time, but every time Aoba comes in, it is like a dream.
After passing the needle work bureau, it's time to get out of the car, and horses are not allowed to drive inside, a small eunuch in front of him led the way, and Aoba followed behind Han Bi'er with a food box.
It was quiet in Kunning Palace, and the little eunuch made a report, and it immediately came in.
At this point, Han Bi'er also showed a cautious look on her face, and when she entered the hall to see the situation clearly, Ying Ying bowed and said: "The queen mother bows to the blessed side!" ”
"Excuse me!" Empress Liu was lying on the small couch, the date of her delivery was estimated to be in these ten days and eight days, and she should have rested well, but now that the Great Song Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and the wind and rain are shaking, she also has to insist on reviewing the recitals sent in by the two provinces, and her face is full of exhaustion, "You came just in time, I was thinking about passing you into the palace, there are a few recitals here, you can take a look at them first, and then help me refer to them." ”
"Yes, Queen." Han Bi'er has experienced a lot of this kind of thing for a while, and she didn't deliberately shirk it anymore, Xiaoju handed her three copies of the cantata, and she blessed Queen Liu again, so she opened it and looked at it.
The first is a chapter on Jiangzhou on Jiangnan East Road, saying that there was a flood in Jiangzhou, and tens of thousands of people in Pengze and Hukou counties were affected, and the imperial court was asked to allocate disaster relief money and food.
Shangshu Province drafted a treatment plan to solve it by Jiangnan East Road, but it was rejected by Menxia Province.
The reason is that the summer tax of the local government has been escorted to Beijing, and if Jiangnan East Road alone bears the relief of such a big disaster, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the victims to be resettled.
On the other hand, Xiaoju explained: "Now that the war in the north and west is continuous, and the food and grass are urged everywhere, the money and grain of the household department are very tight, and the sage originally wanted to take the war as the priority according to the meaning of Shangshu Province, but the Menxia Province refuted it on the grounds of the life and death of tens of thousands of people, and it was difficult for a while." ”
Han Bi'er thought for a while and said: "Queen Mother, now that the Great Song Dynasty is attacked on both sides, it should be the most important thing about the war, but the disaster cannot be ignored, once the victims do not get timely relief, it is easy to cause civil unrest. ”
Now Da Song is like a camel, the load-bearing capacity has reached the limit, even if one more straw is added, I am afraid it will fall down.
As soon as Han Bi'er analyzed the matter like this, Queen Liu became nervous.
"The queen is not in a hurry, in fact, in order to ask for more money and food, the local government often reports the disaster information when it reports the disaster, and the disaster in Jiangzhou may not be so serious.
The slave family is in Jiangnan, and they have some understanding of the situation there, usually after entering August, there are few big floods in Jiangnan, Jiangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and it is impossible for tens of thousands of people to be miserable at one time if they are not flooded.
Therefore, when the imperial court was relieving the disaster, it should send an envoy to inspect the site, so as not to be falsely reported by the local officials to obtain money and food.
In addition, regarding the allocation of money and grain, now that the imperial court has to deal with the Liaoxia army, the money and grain naturally cannot be transferred from Beijing.
In fact, the places are not without food, but are concentrated in the hands of those large households. The imperial court could order the local government to borrow grain from large local households for disaster relief in the form of exempting taxes for the coming year.
At this extraordinary time, some tough measures are still necessary, especially to prevent profiteers from deliberately inflating food prices. If anyone dares to make a fortune at this time, the court might as well catch a few chickens to show the monkeys.
In addition, the slave family heard that the middle of Sichuan was ripe this year, and the imperial court could send people into Sichuan to buy grain as soon as possible to stabilize the price of grain.
In terms of money for the purchase of grain, the slave family could privately contact some large merchants and lend them to the imperial court without interest, and the imperial court could use preferential policies in terms of salt introduction and mining to give them some returns. These are some of the suggestions that the slave family thought of, and if there is anything inappropriate, I hope that the queen will forgive her sins. ”
Han Bi'er finished her words in a soft voice, her words were substantial, well-organized, and her strategies were very targeted, she was originally a scheming person, she had been in contact with Yang Yi for a long time, and after two years of experience, she was no longer the little concubine in Hangzhou Mansion.
This time, Yang Yi left Beijing and deliberately arranged for her to get close to Queen Liu, although the intention was not very clear, but with Han Bier's scheming, there was no clear reason.
Now, Empress Liu is becoming more and more dependent on her, and often summons her to the palace to ask for advice, and Han Bier believes that this is Yang Yi's original intention.
Empress Liu memorized what she said by heart, and did not directly express whether it was okay or not.
Han Bi'er read the remaining two pieces, and then put forward some suggestions of her own for Empress Liu's reference.
While she was talking, Queen Liu suddenly shouted that her stomach hurt, everyone was in a hurry, and the palace was suddenly in chaos.
Xiaoju Jasmine hurriedly asked people to prepare, their hearts were entangled, although the palace had already prepared for delivery, but giving birth to a child this year was equivalent to going to the ghost gate to go once, who could not be nervous? If Empress Liu had another chance at this time, the Great Song Dynasty would probably ......

Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road, a total of 50,000 troops have been forced to Forrest Gump Mountain, and the handsome tent is set up on Forrest Gump Mountain.
Forrest Gump is not far from Huanzhou, and Huanzhou is faintly at an angle, Zhang Qi forced here, it is for this,
Zhang Kai and Empress Dowager Liang are good friends, a few years ago they were also on Huanqing Road, Empress Dowager Liang was made naked by Zhang Kai, this time the two old men reunited, and immediately sparked a warm spark.
Although, Yang Yi's new love is more eye-catching, but Zhang Qi, an old friend, can't be left out in the cold.
She sent Wei Ming Ah Wu to lead an army of 70,000, including 10,000 iron harriers, to meet Forrest Gump Mountain, ready to warm up Zhang Qi first.
50,000 against 70,000, there were simply not so many troops under Forrest Gump Mountain, and in the end, the Song army invested 20,000 and the Xia army invested 30,000, and the battle was fought at the foot of Forrest Gump.
Zhang Qi didn't make any bad moves this time, and he couldn't make a move for a while, so he could only touch it hard.
Because the situation in Huanzhou is not optimistic, Yang Yi only has a few thousand regular soldiers to defend the city, although there are still 20,000 strong soldiers, but these township soldiers are poorly organized, although the combat power is very considerable when fighting small battles, it is difficult to say how much role they can play in the face of this kind of tightly organized war.
Therefore, Zhang Ji can't hide, he can only fight hard, and try to lead the Xia army to his side first, otherwise once Huanzhou falls, with the 10,000 troops and combat power of Yin Ce in Qingzhou, the whole territory of Huanqing Road will inevitably fall;
And Huanqing Road is not guaranteed, and Yanyan Road will be attacked by the Empress Dowager Liang and Renduo Baozhong, and it will only fall faster.
If the two roads fall together, the entire Northwest and even the entire Great Song Dynasty will be finished.
The two armies fought from noon to dusk, with countless casualties, and no one could help anyone, although the Xia army had many troops, but the terrain here could not be placed, and it could only be consumed.
At dusk, they each collected their troops and camped twenty miles apart.
As soon as it was dark, Zhang Ji immediately sent troops to steal the camp by the hour and in batches, although he did not attack it, but he shocked the Xia army so much that he couldn't sleep peacefully.
In the middle of the night, it was the turn of Wei Ming Ah Wu to send someone to steal the camp.
Zhang Qi had already let people dig many traps outside the camp, and the Xia army not only failed to succeed in the sneak attack, but killed and injured more than 200 people, so they had to retreat.
As soon as they returned to the camp, the Song army came again, bombing a few earth bombs outside the camp, striking gongs, and using all kinds of tricks, disturbing the Xia army for a moment and suffering greatly.
