Shangguan Yu's words, the emperor knew the situation, but he was not satisfied.

But he heard Shangguan Yu continue: "The Han Wangfu is loyal to the monarch and protects the country, and the people of Zixiao City are also willing to share their worries for the monarch. It's just that even if the grain is borrowed in batches in the Northland, it is still a large amount, and even if the people of Zixiao City tighten their belts, they can provide up to fifty percent of the grain, and they still hope that the emperor will know it. ”

When the emperor heard Wucheng's words, he took back the smile he had just shown.

knew that the Han Palace's mansion was not easy to fiddle with, so the emperor did not summon other officials to come over to discuss, because he was afraid that Long Yan would not be able to hang up.

"The winter wheat has been harvested, I heard that the yield is high again, and the autumn harvest is coming soon, and Zixiao City is not short of food now." The emperor paused and said: "What's more, next year's winter wheat will be planted more widely, and there is no war at the border pass, so there should be no problem for the Han Wangfu to take out eighty percent." ”

Knowing that the emperor was dissatisfied, Shangguan Yu said unhurriedly:

"The army must have sufficient food and grass, and the soldiers must practice every day even if there is no war, and it will be difficult to resist the enemy in the future without good health. Moreover, the output of grain depends on God's reward, and the minister does not dare to guarantee how the output will be next year. Therefore, it can provide up to 60% of the grain this year. Next year's situation can only be decided at that time. ”

Before Shangguan Yu entered Beijing, he went to see the mansion in Bailing Zidongcheng, and the grain and grass provided to Beidi this year were enough even if all of them were taken out by the Han Wangfu.

But Shangguan Yu just didn't want the emperor to get his wish, so he let him be the shopkeeper.

The grain in the treasury is plentiful in the past years, but it is definitely not a lot, and it has been the practice for all generations to keep enough food for at least two years.

One is the fear of natural disasters, and the other is the fear of war.

When the treasury is really empty, Shangguan Yu will help the imperial court, and there will be no complaints.

But at the moment, it is obviously not, the emperor just wants to calculate the Han Palace, maybe the next step will be to tax Zixiao City.

"This is also what King Han meant?" The Emperor asked with a calm face.

"Back to the emperor, when the ministers left the barracks, my father had already ordered that the army should eat together to avoid wasting a grain of grain." Shangguan Yu replied in disguise.

This is also the result of the discussion between the father and son, which is to be shown to the emperor.

The emperor's face darkened, but he could only say dryly: "The King of Han is really loyal and patriotic." Ziyuan and go back first, I will discuss this matter with the household department again, the Han Wangfu will share the worries of the court, and I will have a reward afterwards. ”

The emperor was not happy in his heart, and the reward he had planned to give was temporarily suppressed.

"The minister is the father and the king, thank the lord Longen." Shangguan Yu bowed to the emperor in a regular manner, and left without changing his face, as if he didn't notice that the emperor's face was getting darker and darker.

If it weren't for the winter wheat planted in the north, the problem of grain and grass this year would be enough to worry the Han Wangfu.

Without Bai Ling's help, Shangguan Yu could really only let the whole people tighten their belts and worry about the king.

On the way out of the palace, Shangguan Yu hummed a little song silently, his little girl is his lucky star!

You have to get married and go home.

Well, let's go back and ask for a holy decree, this is also the importance of Bai Ling, no one dares to be cheap, and you can save the emperor a reward, right?

In the imperial study, the emperor angrily lifted all the imperial cases, but he didn't know that Shangguan Yu, who was scolded in his heart, was thinking about how to marry a daughter-in-law at the moment, otherwise he would have to vomit blood in anger.

Bai Ling drove for a few days, and finally returned home, but he pulled several carriages.

Now that the Bai family is an official, there are no restrictions on buying carriages, as long as you have silver.

"You girl, you'll come back when you come back, why did you bring these old things back? Did all the money you brought over to your family buy it? When you go out, you have to be kind to yourself, don't save money, this doesn't make your father and mother feel distressed. ”

If the Shiryanagi clan cares, it turns into nagging after seeing something.

Bai Ling was warm in his heart when he listened, hugged Bai Liu's family, and choked up: "Mother, my daughter misses you, give me a hug." ”

Bai Liu's eyes turned red, and he slapped Bai Ling on the back hard, and scolded with a smile: "How old are you, you are still so cheap with your mother, and you are not afraid of being laughed at and lose your big teeth." ”

"Whoever likes to laugh laughs, I miss my mother." Bai Ling rested his chin on Bai Liu's shoulder, looked at the family in front of him and said, "I also miss my father, my eldest sister and my little sister, I won't go far in the future." ”

"Then you won't get married?" Bai Cao asked with a smile.

"It's not as early as the eldest sister to get married."

Bai Ling teased back:

"I bought a shop for my eldest sister in the capital, and a Zhuangzi as a dowry, and in the future, when the eldest sister marries in the capital, I am not afraid of no property. I also bought a house for the family, this time I bought it in my father's name, and in the future, it will be the eldest sister's maiden home, and the eldest brother-in-law dares to bully you, so the eldest sister will go back to her parents' house to live. ”

Bai Cao's face turned red when he was said, and he glanced at Bai Ling vigorously, "As far as you are sharp-tongued, you are the one who can bully me the most." ”

"Daddy has to call the shots for me! I went to the capital to buy a dowry for my eldest sister, but my eldest sister said that I bullied her, which is unreasonable. "Bai Ling is gone.

Bai Ling bought a small Zhuangzi by himself, and bought a big Zhuangzi and two shops through Xiao Mu's relationship.

The big Zhuangzi and a small shop, Bai Ling left it himself, and planned to give the small Zhuangzi and the big shop to Bai Cao as a dowry.

The output of Zhuangzi is not much, but when the year is bad, it is enough for a family to chew, after all, the population of Yang Fan's mansion is not large.

Whether the large shop is rented out or Baicao opens its own store, it can have a lot of income.

"I've told you to break the bill again, the eldest sister is so moved, the eldest sister will cook you a few favorite dishes tonight, is this possible?"

Bai Cao was moved in his heart, he accepted so many things from Bai Ling, and he didn't plan to refuse hypocritically at this time.

Perhaps because everyone in the family is serious about the dowry, Bai Cao is looking forward to the marriage more and more.

With the protection of my mother's family, the future should be better, right?

The worst result is nothing more than that she will be reconciled and separated again, this time she will not let herself be bruised, and the daughter of the Bai family should not be tortured.

No one knew what Bai Cao was thinking, and after the family entered the door, they all sat and listened to Bai Ling talk about what happened during this time.

didn't want her family to worry, so Bai Ling didn't say anything about the Xiao family, and she didn't mention those rumors, making her family think that she was busy before going home.

And the family also tacitly agreed not to say that the Ouyang family asked to marry a flat wife, so they didn't have to let Bai Ling stop his heart again.

"Second sister, I picked some of the truckloads of skins you sent back before, and I made some for my family, and the rest was planned to be sold as ready-to-wear. This time, I won't give you the capital, and you will be given fifty percent of the money you earn, so don't push it. Bai Cao said before going to the kitchen.

"Then I'll make money, and if I go back and let people buy more good skins and come back, I can make another handful." Bai Ling responded with a smile, this is the eldest sister giving her money in disguise.

"You girl, those carts of fur didn't cost you a lot of money, did they? After receiving your letter, your father and I went from house to house to send skins, but the elders of the clan were so happy that they could wear skins in this life, but they were all stained with the light of the white spirit girl. ”

The Bailiu clan still has some pain, it's all silver.

"Border fur is cheap, the price of one here, you can buy several over there. However, good skins are not common, and the price must be half as small, and this transaction will have to be done later. Bai Ling explained with a smile, afraid that the Bai Liu clan would be reluctant to wear it.
