Mu Chen smiled: "It's a shame that the queen mother came up with such a method." Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and the ice has not melted, so the dumplings can be saved. Master, I'll take it and give it to you hot, right? It's fifteen today, and I'm worried about getting something good for you to give you a tooth sacrifice. ”

Zhao Shu stared at the dumplings for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What else?" ”

"Huh?"

"Something else from the Queen."

"Master, you are too godly. How do you know that there is something else? ”

"The queen is not you, how can you use only a box of dumplings to occupy such an important intelligence channel as Tangyuanyuan?" Zhao Shu said, "In such cold weather, the road is also difficult to walk. How could she spend so much manpower on a box of dumplings? ”

Mu Chen smiled: "Ye is right, there are indeed things. ”

He pulled out a letter from his bosom, wrapped in waterproof oiled paper.

"Master, there's another letter here. Niangniang must have something important to say to you. ”

Zhao Shu took the letter, opened it carefully, and finally took out a stack of silver tickets from the inside of the envelope.

Mu Chen's eyes widened.

Zhao Shu counted and said, "Two million taels." ”

"Two million ......" Mu Chen gasped.

So much silver, just casually wrapped in an envelope, and asked an intelligence officer to send it on horseback?

Zhao Shu glanced at the envelope again.

Mu Chen leaned over and asked, "Master, there's nothing else in the envelope?" ”

Zhao Shu glanced at him: "What do you want?" ”

"Believe it!" Mu Chen said, "The queen mother sent so much silver, I have to explain, where does this silver come from, who is it for, and what is the use?" ”

Zhao Shu put away the envelope and said, "No." ”

Mu Chen sighed: "Our queen mother, doing things is two words, atmospheric!" ”

Zhao Shu ignored him.

Mu Chen said to himself: "Two million silver tickets, without saying a word, they were sent directly." It seems that this should be the queen's private money. If it was allocated by the imperial court, it would not be so fast, and it would not go through the private channels of Tangyuanyuan. ”

After talking for a long time, he summed up one sentence: "The queen mother is really rich, she is really willing!" ”

Zhao Shu said: "She has a business name, and it seems to be quite prosperous. I've made some money in the past few years, but it's not much. After all, it's still a short year. These two million taels of silver, I am afraid that I have exhausted all the family resources and taken them out.

"Hey, the queen is so nice." Mu Chen was moved to tears, "It just so happens that we are in urgent need of military funds." Not to mention the food and grass for the soldiers, the military salaries have not been paid for two months. This money really solves our urgent need. ”

Zhao Shu gave him the silver ticket: "Take it to the political envoy, let him use it where it should be used, and pay the soldiers first." They are all people who want to support their families, and they can't do without military salaries, and they are easy to shake the morale of the military. ”

"Yes, lord." Mu Chen took the silver.

"In addition, today is the fifteenth, give the soldiers a good meal."

"My subordinates understand, so let's do it." Mu Chen was very happy, "The queen's money came in time, and today is the fifteenth day of the first month, and the soldiers can get the silver and eat a good meal." Everyone must be happy. ”

"Go ahead." Zhao Shu waved his hand.

Mu Chen stood still and said with a smile: "Master, you haven't eaten for most of the day, your subordinates will cook these dumplings for you first, you can eat some first." ”

"Busy with your going. Could it be that this king can't even cook a few dumplings? ”
