Chapter 23: Shock, Curiosity
"Meng Jiucheng and Liu Erzu have reached an agreement to support each other and help each other."
"The Red Turban Army is deploying troops south of Anqiu and Linqu, preparing to support Li Quan and repel the Jin army's attack. However, Li Quan and his subordinates were not enthusiastic about Guoanyong, and they thought that they could resist alone. β
"The grain shortage is gradually rising, and Meng Jiucheng attracts southern merchants to sell grain at ten times the price to solve the urgent need."
"More than 130,000 refugees have been resettled in the three states......"
"This is the military regulations and military law of the Red Turban Army......"
"This is the pension regulations of the Red Turban Army......"
"This is a preferential policy for military families......"
Wang Min handed it to Yang Miaozhen while looking at it, and only then did he cough twice until the last one, with a strange look on his face, and fell into deep thought.
Yang Miaozhen does not have the same level of education as Wang Min, she reads slowly, and some of them don't even understand very well. However, after all, her brother Yang An'er is a king and has also formulated some decrees, so she can naturally make some comparisons.
Therefore, although Wang Min did not see through and think deeply, Yang Miaozhen was also very surprised and shocked. This is not a policy decree that can be formulated by ordinary rebels, and what can be done is even rarer.
"Ten times the price of food?" Yang Miaozhen was most surprised by this, and said with a frown: "Even if you can recruit southern merchants to sell grain, where can the Red Turban Army get so much money?" β
Wang Min looked up at Yang Miaozhen, his brows were also furrowed, obviously in disbelief. But he didn't pursue the matter, but asked meaningfully: "Qu Shuai, do you think these are true?" β
Yang Miaozhen hesitated, and said uncertainly: "I'm afraid not, right?" β
Wang Min pondered for a moment, stretched out his finger and pointed to the liaison officer who was mixed with the generals, and said in a low voice: "I think I can ask him, although I can't guarantee that everything he said is true, but I will always get some confirmation." β
Yang Miaozhen nodded and said, "These documents still have to be read carefully, I am only shallow in my studies, and I have to work a lot for the military advisor." β
Wang Min nodded, received the paperwork, pointed to Meng Jiucheng's letter, and said, "This letter, the Qu Master should read it first." If there's anything unclearβ"
Yang Miaozhen nodded, put the letter away, took the wooden box, and hesitated, not knowing whether to open it here.
"Qu Shuai can go back to the room first, read the letter, if there is anything that needs to be discussed with everyone, it will not be too late to summon everyone." Wang Min was very eye-catching and said.
"It's fine." Yang Miaozhen picked up the wooden box and turned to leave.
Back in her room, Yang Miaozhen opened the wooden box, and in addition to the telescope, there was also a delicate horn comb and a small palm-sized mirror wrapped in silk.
For the telescope, Yang Miaozhen had just heard the liaison officer explain the usage to Liu Quan, and at this time opened the window and looked outside. The scenery is flickering far and near, clear for a while, blurry for a while, Yang Miaozhen also feels incredible, novel and fun, and can't help but show a happy smile on her face.
After playing for a long time, Yang Miaozhen put it down preciously, and then inspected other objects, the horn comb was not so surprised, and when he saw the mirror, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The reflection in the bronze mirror and the basin, how can this mirror be so clear and so realistic, it makes people wonder if the image is itself?
The frame of the mirror is covered with fine silver ornaments, and a movable silver rod can be opened and propped up to make the mirror stand. The silver ornament has a cloud flower pattern, and there are five small characters in the middle "Hibiscus box in the mirror".
Although Yang Miaozhen has a limited culture, she is very intelligent, and after a few fiddling sessions, she knows how to use it. The mirror stood on the table, reflecting a woman with light makeup, her eyebrows were picturesque.
Looking left and right, Yang Miaozhen, a heroine, couldn't help but make a few strange expressions in order to confirm that the person in the mirror was really herself. In the end, even she couldn't help but laugh, this was the first time she knew what she looked like so clearly!
What is this Meng Jiucheng's mind? After a long time, Yang Miaozhen reluctantly calmed down and began to ponder what this gift meant.
Thinking about it left and right, but not knowing the essentials, Yang Miaozhen remembered the letter. When she opened it and read it, her face was not good-looking.
β¦β¦ But knowing how to attack, not good at management, like a rogue; The food and salary are not self-sufficient, and they do not know the art of war; plundering the property of people's wives and daughters, only knowing how to take it from others, but not to raise it from the people; The lack of strategy for the generals, the lack of training for the soldiers, and the battle is like a group fight; Gather when you win, and scatter birds and beasts when you lose; This rebel army and the other rebel army were suspicious of each other, sometimes descending and sometimes rebelling, attacking each other......
Harsh, but to the point. Yang Miaozhen couldn't see joy or anger on her face, but she frowned and pondered.
"The four ladies are smart, and they should know that what I said about the seven evils of the righteous army is not a lie. If we do not make up our minds and reorganize the army, the righteous army will not lose its character in the end, and it will be difficult for it to become a strong army that can conquer everything and be invincible. Even if the four ladies are 'invincible in the world with pear flower guns', I am afraid that they will not be able to reverse victory or defeat. β
In the last few sentences of the letter, Meng Jiucheng said extremely sincerely, and Yang Miaozhen also felt that it was very reasonable. But she snorted and said to herself: "How can the slave family boast so much, there is no rival in the world, I don't know where I heard the rumors." β
Huge territory, policies, KitKat gifts, blunt advice...... All this made Yang Miaozhen curious. What kind of character is this Meng Jiucheng, and why is it so surprising and inexplicable?
β¦β¦β¦β¦.
At this time, Meng Jiucheng did not rush to Jimo, but handled many affairs unhurriedly.
"I was looking forward to it, but now I am sending it to the door, but I am not in a hurry." Even the soft sister system can't help but have doubts, "There is a saying: distance produces beauty." But you are dozens of miles away, but this distance is not like it. β
Hehe, Meng Jiucheng laughed dryly twice, and educated in the tone of someone who came over, "You don't understand this, I call this warm-up." First of all, she was curious and looking forward to meeting me. As for me, I'll be more reserved and keep some mystery......"
The soft girl system snorted, interrupted Meng Jiucheng, and said with some disdain: "I still hold the pipa and half cover my face, and I came out after a long time." You're a big man, it's a shame to play this set? β
"Shame?" Meng Jiucheng shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "If I can really marry her, who else will I lose?" Alright, just wait for the news of my victory! Rouge horse, that anyone can ride, anyone dares to ride? β
The girl suddenly snorted at this time, and the timing was just right, like a loud thumbs up.
Meng Jiucheng laughed, patted the horse's head dotingly, and slightly sped up the horse's speed.
Not far away, a group of people were already seen waiting. Compared with Yang Miaozhen, Meng Jiucheng was more concerned about the development and testing of new weapons.
After all, that is where his confidence in winning the battle lies, not his future wife who is "twenty years of pear flower gun, invincible in the world".
