Chapter 736: Father and Son's Conversation (5)

The old servant of the Qi family has been properly placed, and Bai Yuanyi knows his son's ability to do things, so he no longer dwells on this topic, and his eyes are firmly on his son, as if he wants to scrape off his face.

Bai Qing was panicked by his own Lao Tzu, rubbed his face and secretly took a step back.

"Dad, what do you see? I don't have any flowers on my face. ”

"Now that you know Qi Ke's identity, what do you think?"

"What can I think? The two families have divorced, and no one has mentioned the past, she now has a house, land and business, and I have to rely on her to farm and earn money to feed the population. ”

"Okay, you don't have any ideas for each other."

"Dad, what are you going to do?"

"What can I do? Your mother and your grandmother are planning a new marriage for you at home. ”

"Huh? Are they idle at home? ”

"Where are you free? They plan supplies for their soldiers every day, and they don't know how much hair they lose. ”

"Oh, which eldest lady is this in love with, and you plan to sell me for a few taels of silver in exchange for supplies?" Bai Qing's heart was calm, as if there was no wave in the ancient well, "If my hundred catties of meat can be exchanged for the military expenses of the Bai family army in the next few years, it will be a good deal." ”

"Aren't you still picking, the world is not good now, and your hundred catties of meat can't be sold at a high price."

Bai Qing's big eyes were so wide that he couldn't see the black pupils, "Then don't sell it." ”

"You're not young anymore, if you don't sell it, you'll smash it."

"When I save a few more military merits, my worth will naturally rise, and those who don't want to bid now are afraid that they won't even be qualified to bid at that time." Bai Qing held his head high, proud like a beautiful big rooster showing off his feathers.

When General Bai saw his son like this, he kicked straight out, but because he was sitting, he was not as flexible as Bai Qing, so he deftly avoided it.

"Dad, there is something to say, something to say."

"Now that the situation is unstable, you still have the heart to say witty things."

"Unstable? Why is it so serious? ”

"What do you say? It's a drought and a lot of water, and God doesn't give the people a way to live, what do you say will happen? The flood has harmed us, the drought has been more widespread, and the aliens in the north have crossed the border several times. "General Bai is sitting in Dong'an Mansion, and all the military information is concentrated in his hands first, so he naturally knows a lot of news that others don't know.

“…… How so?! Bai Qing exclaimed.

Bai Yuanyi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What's strange?" Didn't we know very well why this was happening when we lost the battle in the first place? Fortunately, our country's territory is large enough, there is no harvest in the north, and there are one or two granaries in the south, and the bitter cold land of the alien races in the north, they have no abundant water and grass, so they naturally want to go south to plunder, but our northern land is drought, they can't even find a grass, and the lack of supplies for the elongated battle line is not good for themselves, so they didn't continue to go south, and they withdrew after a few turns in several empty cities in the north, but who knows when they will make a comeback? ”

"Hasn't it rained in the north yet? What is the drought situation in the capital? I heard that Jiming Mountain is dry, and the people in the capital have no water to drink. ”

"It is said that there have been a few drizzles, and it is to the extent that the ground is wet, and as soon as the rain stops, the ground will be dry, which is not of much use to alleviate the drought, and it is good to have a few happy rainstorms."

"Alas, our last rainstorm was quite severe, and only Siliu Village of the five villages here has kept a little summer grain."

"Eh, yes, it's going to take such a rainstorm to solve the drought in the north."

"What if it doesn't rain for a long time?"

"Who knows, we can guess about the affairs of the court?"

General Bai glanced at his son, the father and son were cautious, but they both knew in their hearts that if it didn't rain in the capital, no one would be able to hold on, and the civil and military officials would move south to the palace with their cars just around the corner, but this guess they could only keep it in their hearts and never say it on their lips.
