Man Qing looked at the light street and wondered in her heart, what happened again?

When she returned to the Hou Mansion, she found that the atmosphere was a little strange, and Ah Xue, who stayed in the courtyard, told her that something big had happened in the capital again. ”

The prince of the Northern Desert broke the contract and left Beijing, the emperor lost his temper and sent people to chase him, but as a result, the people did not chase back, but the people who went to chase were killed, and the border pass was afraid that there would be another war!

For such a thing as harmony, she originally felt unreliable, especially when the second grandfather said that the drought in the north is very severe, and in the case of extreme food shortage, won't you be hungry if you marry a princess of Da'an?

The answer is definitely no, so grabbing food has become a must, and Thunder is not a stupid person, so it's strange if he doesn't run.

"The one who went to chase him was the son of Princess Changqing, the emperor's serious nephew, the princess went to the palace to cry when she saw the sky, and King Ding had already left to return to the border pass."

That night, the Hou Ye told her the inside story, and the emperor was furious, not only punishing the ministers who were in favor of peace, but also punishing several officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"What's the matter with this Ministry of Rites? Grandpa, are you alright? ”

"Hehe, of course grandpa is fine, I didn't approve of the kiss at the beginning, the emperor is angry, because of the wedding, the Ministry of Rites has the most contact with the prince, but I don't see the movements of others."

Hehe, this is really angry, people want to run, the plan must be very thorough, how can these people see it?

"Actually, if you can't make peace with your relatives, Da'an won't have anything to lose, Beimo wants to go to war, isn't there still King Ding's guard, they can't fight before, can they win the battle by grabbing food?"

"But this time they are ruined, the place where the drought occurs is not only the northern desert, our northern land is the same, if you want to start a war, you must have military salaries, grain and grass, the emperor is not rich, he must be on fire."

The second grandfather sat on the side and listened for a long time, and said excitedly at this time,

"The emperor is just tight-handed, and the people of the north will suffer, if the people of the northern desert rush in, it will not only be food that is robbed!"

Yes, it is always the common people who are unlucky, and the cry of Sujia Village echoed in her ears again,

"Did the Ministry of Household say that there was no money? In the past two years, the wind and rain have been smooth, is it possible that the emperor has confiscated taxes? ”

"Although the year is good, things have been going on in the past two years, and it has cost a lot to quell the rebellion against the king, although he has copied a lot of things, but not many can be returned to the treasury."

Man Qing was silent, yes, no matter what time the war is, it is all about money, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, this is the rule,

"I have an idea, if the emperor is only temporarily short of silver, you can borrow it from Shangjia, as an official of the imperial court, you are also obliged to donate some, the weather is so cold, if the soldiers at the border are short of food and clothing, once defeated, everyone will be unlucky."

"This has already been proposed, but there are very few responses in the main hall, they are afraid of offending people, hmph, Gu Zhang, as the first assistant, didn't say a word, and many people looked at him."

Doesn't he know the emperor's mind? If he disobeys his boss like this, he still has an absolute authority boss, isn't he afraid of being fired? Man Qing felt very strange in her heart.

"Why doesn't the emperor change someone to be the first assistant, does he have to rely on?"

"The emperor doesn't do whatever he wants, there are a large number of civil officials behind Gu Zhang, these people were all promoted by him, last year, the emperor has already done it, but the foundation of the family is too deep, and he hasn't caught any tricks."

It seems that the emperor is not doing what he wants, and many things are not up to him, and it is a big deal to defend against the enemy at the border.

"The emperor didn't ask him, what should he do if he doesn't have enough food? He should be responsible for this. ”

"Hmph, someone came out and said: The prince of the Northern Desert just regretted his marriage, and he didn't say that he wanted to fight! The tension was created by King Ding, because he liked to fight, and only when there was a war could his importance be shown. ”

"What did the emperor say? This is a matter of social safety, is it up to them to say it? ”

Man Qing is very unworthy of the king, if he is a power-loving person, won't he even help his own son? The two of Dingwangfu are now five or six petty officials.

"The emperor is angry, but the law does not blame the public, so many people insist on this opinion, and the Northern Desert did not send troops, so he had to send the king over to guard carefully."

Situ Xiu didn't know his whereabouts, Manqing always wanted to do something for him, thought for a while, and said to his grandfather:

"After the New Year, I want to go back with my second grandfather, if the Northern Desert invades, Sujia Village will definitely be unlucky again, I want to help them do some defense in the mountains, if the Northern Desert people really attack, it is better to hide in the mountains."

Hou Ye knew that his granddaughter was afraid that she had bigger plans, but she didn't say it, so she didn't ask, since she was returning to her hometown, she would go on this trip for herself.

"Qing'er shares my worries, I have to get enough money for her, and ah, Jin'er is going to travel during the New Year, this fee should be paid by the boss, and I can't let a foreign family give it, that's the grandson of the Su family."

Su Kaicheng didn't dare to disobey, took out twenty taels of silver, felt distressed, and returned to the East Courtyard to find it from the Du family.

"This is the new monthly case, and Zhu'er's New Year's money, you will run out of money so soon?"

"It's all debt collectors! What's wrong with getting some silver? Am I still the head of the family? ”

Seeing that his face changed, Du Shi didn't dare to say anything for a while, but how could there be an impermeable wall in this world, and within two days, he knew where the twenty taels went, and he was so angry that he was going crazy.

But she didn't have the courage to question Xianggong, so she had to say in a roundabout way, how could she favor one over the other, Wenzhu should also go.

Later, Su Kaicheng really went to find his grandfather, but unfortunately he touched the ash of his nose.

This fifteenth year is also lonely, and the Hou Ye is very guilty about his cousin, but where do people care about this, they want to go home early,

"Since it's not peaceful, I'd better go back early, I still have some food at home, and I can always get by."

"Second grandfather, I'll go back with you, but I want to keep my second uncle and second aunt in the capital."

"I heard what your second uncle said, do you really think he is available? If you just want to lighten my burden, then you don't want to, in case something goes wrong, I can't get over it. ”

"Look at what you said, leaving them is also to help me, now there is a lot of business, I need a reliable account office, the second uncle is the most suitable person, they stay in the capital, and they don't have to live in the Hou Mansion, I have a small courtyard in the west of the city, a single family, not far from the sale, let them move over and set up their own door."

When the second grandfather heard that there was no need to mess with the Hou Mansion, his heart immediately felt much more relaxed, although he was taken care of by his nephew, but his son knew that he couldn't make a mistake in doing the accounting room, and he would definitely be able to handle this trust.

"Then grandpa won't be polite to you, their family is in the capital, even if we have something, it can be regarded as leaving a root, grandpa thank you."

Before leaving, she took her second uncle Su Kaizhi to see all the shopkeepers, officially appointed him as the big tent, went to check the accounts and collect the money everywhere every month, and also instructed Liu An to help them find a home in Chengxi.
