Chapter 301: Caring is chaos
She steadied her mind, and then told everything that happened in the mansion one by one, including the eldest sister marrying Xiao Li, the third sister marrying Gu Jingxuan, and then the competition between the three princes, and then the competition between the imperial court and the wealthy family for private salt and official salt......
There are so many things she says, and Shi Zheng never interrupted her.
After Shi Minru drank more than a dozen glasses of water, he finally finished talking about everything.
After Shi Zheng listened, he was silent.
His most important eldest daughter was forced to marry quietly, which made him uneasy.
Moreover, he was stationed here, except for the initial grain and grass and a batch of grain and grass sent by Yao'er later, no matter how much news he sent to the capital, there was still no news of the grain and grass.
If it weren't for the fact that the Mei family sent a batch of grain and grass before, and there were still some people here who were really afraid that Liaocheng would be attacked and would hurt them, so they sponsored some grain and grass, and now they would not only have no salt, but even go hungry.
He didn't know what the emperor wanted to do.
Could it be that the imperial court doesn't want Liaocheng?
"I'm sorry for you," knowing that after she arrived in Jiangnan, she rushed here non-stop, Shi Zheng said very solemnly.
Shi Minru's eyes were red, she shook her head and said, "My daughter doesn't know anything, but I also hope to help my father,"
"You've already helped a lot if you came," he really didn't expect that the daughters of the Shi family were all so capable.
Although the eldest daughter did not come, Ru'er said that the eldest sister would stay in the capital and deal with those people, which was also extremely dangerous.
After all, after she got married, she was just an ordinary woman.
"Daddy, the matter of salt shortage is imminent, we must quickly find the salt lake or salt mine, first close to the army, and then take care of the people in the city, lest the conspiracy of the wealthy family really sink, and it will affect my father," she said quickly, not feeling tired at all.
It was the first time she had the excitement that she could be valued by her father, and she couldn't wait to start getting busy immediately.
After Shi Zheng knew that she could make salt, she felt a lot more relieved, and she was not as urgent as before.
"Don't worry, it's not bad for a day or two, you have a good rest first, and in the next few days, you probably won't have time to rest, and you will always be very busy," Shi Zheng refused her request and asked her to take care of her body first.
The affairs of their father and daughter were discussed, and Mu Dong had a chance to speak.
"General, is there any food in the barracks?"
This question has lost all the joy of Shi Zheng.
He frowned and said, "The grain and grass in the imperial court have long been gone,"
"Ah, what is Daddy eating now?" Shi Minru asked with concern.
"Some wealthy families in the city are well aware of the righteousness, and know that if the army has no food, Liaocheng will not be able to keep it, so everyone has raised some together, and now they can survive for a while, but I don't know when the imperial court will be able to deliver the grain and grass," he sighed and explained.
"There will be no grain and grass sent by the imperial court," Mu Dong directly punctured his hope, and then gritted his teeth and said: "The emperor made a mess in the capital in order to pave the way for the six princes, who would care about the soldiers who were far away in Liaocheng,"
For the sake of their own glory and wealth, they don't care about anything, as long as they are good.
No one looked at the lives of 100,000 soldiers.
After Shi Zheng heard this, he gritted his teeth angrily, but he was helpless.
What could he do?
