The chief housekeeper of the Xu family looked Jiang Yuanliu up and down, this person was highly respected by his master, but in his opinion, he was just a woman, relying on the identity of the daughter of Jiang Fengmao, the protector of the country.

"This is the letter that my lord asked me to bring you." Old man Zhou had a straight face, there was no smile on his old face, even if he knew Jiang Yuanliu's identity, he still stiffened his neck and didn't let go.

Guan Dadao has a black face, he is a bandit, but he is a child born in a serious way, paying attention to the difference between respect and inferiority, not to mention that the protector of the country is a noble who has been awarded for his outstanding military exploits since the founding of the Qingqi State.

It is said that the protector is upright, kills the enemy on the battlefield, protects the safety of Qingqi country, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment to protect the country.

Moreover, Jiang Yuanliu is not afraid of danger and brings a large amount of money and grain to Cangzhou for disaster relief, which is a merit, and he should be admired and looked up to.

"Old man, do you know who you're talking to!" Guan Dadao had a black face.

Because Zhan Shan is the king, Guan Dadao is full of gangsterism, and when he has a black face, he is very scary, and children can be scared and cry directly when they see him, and ordinary people dare not provoke Guan Dadao when they see it.

But Old Man Zhou is not afraid, "Hou Sheng, be polite, my age is more than enough for you to be a father, I don't care who you are, I'm just an errand runner." ”

Old Man Zhou's tone was flat, and his expression did not change, but he did not let the words he said at all.

Guan Dadao was a quick temper, and immediately couldn't restrain his anger, stretched out his finger and pointed at Lao Zhoutou's nose and scolded: "The old man has a very short temper, can he really treat himself as a character?" ”

Old man Zhou lowered his eyebrows, and suddenly made a move, pinching Guan Dadao's wrist with lightning speed, and then broke it back.

Guan Dadao suddenly let out a heart-rending howl, and his whole face turned white from pain, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, old man, let me go." ”

"Young man, keep your mouth clean." Old man Zhou's tone was flat.

Jiang Yuanliu sighed, "Steward Zhou, I'm here to compensate you for Guan Dadao, and please raise your noble hand." ”

Old man Zhou took the opportunity to let go of Guan Dadao, still with that expressionless face, and said to Jiang Yuanliu: "Miss Jiang, let's take a look at the letter, my lord is still waiting for me to go back and report it." ”

"There's a housekeeper for Lao Zhou." Jiang Yuanliu was polite.

The letter was sealed with wax, and the sign on it was that she and Xu Zhenghe had already discussed, and after glancing at the wax seal, to make sure that it had not been opened, Jiang Yuanliu opened the envelope and looked at it.

Jiang Yuanliu's eyebrows, which were originally sad because of the increasing number of refugees, gradually relaxed, "Great! Cangzhou is saved. ”

"What's good? Could it be that the food has fallen? Guan Dadao didn't care about getting angry with Old Man Zhou, stretched his neck to read the letter, and realized that he was wrong when he saw it, so he could only wait anxiously for Jiang Yuanliu.

Jiang Yuanliu nodded, "Sort of." ”

"Big boss, you are here to entertain Steward Zhou carefully, and I will go back as soon as I go." No, no. Jiang Yuanliu couldn't wait to find Zhao Jinhuai.

Zhao Jinhuai's face was full of surprise, "What you said is true?" ”

I didn't expect Jiang Yuanliu to be able to buy food!

Qingqi seems to be rich, but in fact, the harvest in the past few years has not been good, so after the Cangzhou disaster, the people of Yizhou can only starve, and they can't buy food from other places at all.

"This grain comes from Mobei." Jiang Yuanliu bit his lip and finally decided to tell the truth.

Her motives for taking refuge in Zhao Jinhuai are not pure, but after many days of getting along, Jiang Yuanliu knows that Zhao Jinhuai can be a good emperor, of course, this is only one of them, the companion is like a tiger, even if Zhao Jinhuai has not yet ascended the throne, but the superior is a seven-trick exquisite heart, so naturally he must deal with it carefully.

The reason why the source of the food was told was because it couldn't be hidden, and on the other hand, Jiang Yuanliu learned after investigation that Mobei had not invaded Qingqi Country for more than ten years.

Don't think this is a good thing, it shows that Mobei is now strong.

Mobei is like a tiger sleeping on the side of the couch, Bai Ningguo has always been eyeing the tiger, which needs to be guarded against, but the place does not mean that the country is blocked! The production of cattle, sheep and horses in Mobei is exactly what Qingqi is in short supply.

Zhao Jin has a deep thought, and naturally smells Jiang Yuanliu's plan, but now is not the time to talk about that, what needs to be solved at this time is the urgent need of Cangzhou.

"No matter where you are, as long as you can save the people of Cangzhou, all the responsibilities will be borne by me." Zhao Jinhuai gave Jiang Yuanliu a reassuring pill.

Jiang Yuanliu breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness is kind-hearted, it is one of the people of Cangzhou, presumably Your Highness should know about the beauty cream I developed, this merchant took the risk of selling the beauty cream to the nobles of Mobei, not asking for gold and silver, as long as beef and mutton jerky, and fur." ”

Originally, Xu Zhenghe wanted to exchange the beauty cream for gold and silver, but Jiang Yuanliu knew about Cangzhou, so he patted his chest and assured that the value of beef and mutton jerky and fur was more than gold and silver.

"Good! That's great! Zhao Jinhuai called two good in a row, "I know about the beauty cream, the nobles in the capital are crazy to rob it, if it weren't for ......"

Halfway through speaking, Zhao Jinhuai's face was full of regret, it was the daughter of the Yuan family who ran Yuxiangfang, she was extremely talented and good at business, if such a woman could marry in the backyard, she could collect countless fortunes for him, but it was a pity that she was famous.

Zhao Jinhuai knew that Yuan Xiwen and Jiang Yuanliu were friends, and he knew that if it weren't for Yuan Xiwen's tragic death as the last straw that crushed the camel, Jiang Yuanliu might still be able to run the Yuxiangfang and the medical hall in a good way, and would not get involved in the quagmire of competing for power.

"Yuanliu, I don't know how many beef and mutton jerky from Mobei was sent back by a merchant?" Zhao Jinhuai asked with a very solemn expression.

Jiang Yuanliu stretched out a finger, "Ten carts, because of the limited time, can only raise so much, and there are four carts of cattle and sheep fur." ”

Time is too limited, if she is given another two months, she will be able to earn more things from Mobei, but the people of Cangzhou can't wait.

"It can solve the urgent need."

Zhao Jinhuai let out a long sigh, he was able to smoothly bring people to Cangzhou for disaster relief, firstly, because of the competition for rights among all parties in the capital, he seized the opportunity.

Another thing is that everyone knows that coming to Cangzhou is a matter of nine deaths, and the disaster relief food has been almost harmed by Uncle Guo, and there is not much left, even if it is fully recovered, it is the ultimate to be able to recover one-twelfth of it.

Qingqi Kingdom is stable on the surface, but in fact, the court is turbulent, several princes are eyeing the throne, and the person in charge of the household is the king, which has been hollowed out.

This time is using from the private library, basically copied the emperor's old bottom, so many years of the emperor cultivating immortals and refining pills, has spent the first emperor's accumulated private treasury is seventy-seven-eighty-eight, if you want to take it out again, there is no more.

Therefore, Zhao Jinhuai came to disaster relief this time, so he brought 100,000 taels of silver, no food, only ten carts of medicine, and some inferior herbs, those people in the capital had no intention of letting Zhao Jinhuai come back alive at all.

Although Jiang Yuanliu is just a woman and doesn't know about the court, she also guessed seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, she knows Zhao Jinhuai's difficulties, so she will find a way.

"Your Highness, although the method of cash-for-work is good, but after the quicksand has passed, half of the land in Cangzhou cannot be cultivated, if you can't come up with a solution. I'm afraid the situation will get worse. ”

Zhao Jinhuai lowered his eyes, he naturally knew how tricky things were, the crisis in Cangzhou was not only to appease the refugees, but also the White Lotus Sect was doing trouble, and the local wealthy families in Cangzhou did not stop.

"What Yuan Liu said is extremely true." So coming to Cangzhou is nine deaths.

Ninety percent of the people in the capital think that when he comes to Cangzhou, he will go and never return!

However, Zhao Jinhuai never thought of dying in a nest, he would invite himself to Cangzhou, just for the sake of this dead land.

Jiang Yuanliu sighed sadly, and there were countless desolations in his eyes, "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering, Cangzhou is the epitome of the whole country, fortunately, you still think about the people of Cangzhou, Your Royal Highness." ”

Zhao Jinhuai looked at Jiang Yuanliu's sincere eyes and was a little embarrassed, he did not do these things for the people of Cangzhou, but more for himself, because Cangzhou was chaotic, he wanted to take this opportunity to accumulate power.

He turned his head and didn't want to look at Jiang Yuanliu, changed the topic and said: "This matter will trouble Yuanliu, the more beef and mutton, the better, I will send someone to raise gold and silver." ”

Zhao Jinhuai knew that these beef and mutton were not for nothing, the other party was a businessman who traveled north and south of the river, and he went to Mobei desperately, in order to make money, even if he wanted to overwhelm people with power, it was impossible to get these ten carts of beef and mutton without spending a penny.

"Okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yuanliu opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know the whereabouts of the Jinshu?" ”

"Yes, I was about to tell you about this matter, Tongfeng found the trace of the brocade book, but it seems that something is wrong......"

Knowing Gu Jinshu's whereabouts, Jiang Yuanliu couldn't sit still anymore, Zhao Jinhuai was in charge of Northern Qi County, and the method of cash-for-work and Mobei trading Jiang Yuanliu were handed over without reservation.

"These are the accounts that I have compiled, which record in detail the money from the wealthy family, as well as the records of these people, and when there is enough time, I can call the officials to make a register for these refugees."

Jiang Yuanliu handed over the things he handled to Zhao Jinhuai, and then recommended Guan Dadao to Zhao Jinhuai, "Although this person is a bandit, he is chivalrous and righteous, but his mind is too gangster, if he wants to use it, he needs to sharpen it." ”

Zhao Jinhuai's eyes were low, "Do you really want to go to Tongfeng?" Where is occupied by the White Lotus Sect, you have a daughter's house, I can't let you take the risk. ”

Seeing Jiang Yuanliu's persistent eyes, Zhao Jinhuai paused and persuaded: "Jinshu is not in danger now, if he knew that I let you be in danger, he would blame me!" ”

"If there is no danger, why doesn't he come back?" Jiang Yuanliu's eyes burned.

Zhao Jinhuai sighed, "Jinshu he...... Amnesia. ”
