Zilan asked people to buy some herb seeds and came back, selected a few herbs that were needed in large quantities on the battlefield, and took them back to plant in the space, ready to be a backhand.

I also bought some good grains, including some coarse grains such as millet and corn, which are actually the most used in the barracks, and rice is fine grain, but in fact the reserves are not sufficient, and the most coarse grains for the soldiers to eat are coarse grains, which are much cheaper than rice, and can buy enough portions.

There is also charcoal forage, Zilan also planted some alfalfa grass in the space, which can be used as forage for military horses in the future, which is indispensable.

Although the court is prepared, it is his relatives who go to the battlefield to fight, and she has always loved and pampered her, so it is also his own heart to prepare a little more.

She silently made some preparations for everything she could think of in the space, and Song Zhengtian asked people to buy seeds and seedlings to send to her, and fully supported her to do something beneficial to the country and the people, which is a great good.

Ordinary grain matures quickly, Zilan works in the space without stopping, harvesting the mature grain and forage and putting it in the warehouse of the space, not afraid of rotting and keeping it fresh all the time.

The northwest is bitter cold, there may be few vegetables, can air-dried fruit slices completely supplement some vitamins, she planted a lot of fruit trees, especially all kinds of peaches, can't eat a strong wine, more and more.

Simply cut into slices and air-dried into slices for preservation, piling up piles.

There is also charcoal, and there are a lot of pruned branches, so let's pile them up first.

She has a feeling that this big war may be inevitable, the northwest has been guarded by the Yu family and the Yang family for many years, and now the two old generals are dying, and there is no deterrent, and the Tatar country has begun to stumble again.

In order to ensure the normal operation of Xianglou, Zilan ordered the command of the foreign affairs manager to transport a large amount of red wine, and the price of red wine was already raised in Xianglou.

began to let people go to Jiangnan to take advantage of the convenience of the Song family's shipping, step by step to buy grain, a small range of non-stop purchases, in addition to supplying the winery, the grain produced in the grange is not put into the warehouse for storage.

Although the stewards were strange, they were quickly unanimously agreed by the elders of the Song family, and cooperated with her to issue the order in a timely manner, and all preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.

Years of experience have given Zilan enough foresight and vision to deal with this problem, and prepare in advance, not only for the Yang family, but to let the emperor know that they are doing their duty as a courtier, and if they do well, they can also get the emperor's attention, and it is also a good thing for the country and the people, and it doesn't hurt to do more.

This is to avoid causing fluctuations in grain prices and affecting the surrounding people.

The Cui family knew the news as soon as possible, and there was movement immediately.

Old Man Cui talked about this incident with a smile and asked everyone, "Tell me, is it a bit too much for Lan'er to do this?" ”

Jiang's housekeeper has been for many years, and he has his own opinions on many things, so he thought about it and was the first to speak, "Back to my father-in-law, my daughter-in-law doesn't think so, I think this child is worthy of being the daughter of the Song family, she is reasonable, and has a forward-looking vision.

Since the war is imminent, it is necessary to make some preparations in advance, and her reaction is faster than many people, I deeply admire it.

Once the war starts, the price of grain and grass may have to fly, not to mention helping the northwest, and then the ordinary people in the capital will not be able to afford food.

Personally, I agree with her move, and I think our family should also be ready, and it will be too late if we don't.

The family was originally wary of the emperor, and if he refused to contribute in the face of national hatred and family hatred, wouldn't the emperor be jealous of us. ”

Obviously, the Jiang family is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper for many years, and she sees it very thoroughly, and she guesses Zilan's concerns and considerations accurately.

And Jiang himself admired Zilan very much in his heart, and he thought that she was too young to be a sect wife, and she might need to observe a thing or two.

But now she agrees very much, and when she enters the door, she must fully cooperate.

"I agree with the second aunt's words, our old house should also be prepared in advance, and we will have to respond in the first wave at that time, otherwise the emperor will really hold a grudge."

Cui Hao is also keenly aware of this problem, and his grandfather will be cautious if he doesn't mention him.

Old Man Cui nodded with satisfaction, and looked at his wife's smiling and unhurried look.

"Your grandfather and I have personally made it clear to the clan and the old mansion, and the old mansion has also written a letter and sent someone back to explain the matter, and the family capital has begun to arrange manpower. Take this matter seriously, and urge them not to cheat. ”

Old Mrs. Cui was not slow at all, and when she got the news, she began to prepare, no less than Zilan's speed, and the experience is here.

"Yes, my grandson must have arranged this matter."

"Hmm. Take the young children to experience a little more, and if you are not afraid of making mistakes, you will be in trouble if you don't know anything. ”

"Yes."

After hearing this, Zhang pondered silently on the side, as if he understood why his father-in-law and mother-in-law chose Zilan, he was indeed far inferior to others at this point, the Cui family needed such a daughter-in-law, and his son also needed her.

Zilan was making all kinds of preparations because of the affairs in the northwest, and she had some plans in mind, and she would discuss them with her father when he came back from the ministry.

In the afternoon, Song Zhengtian came back after a busy day, and Zilan hurriedly poured a cup of spiritual tea for his father to relieve his fatigue.

"Dad, the ministry is very tired, your face is not very good."

Song Zhengtian took a sip of tea, sighed comfortably, and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, after reading the file for a day, my eyes are a little flowery, give me eye drops to use, and the old file must be picked up and carefully proofread." ”

Zilan took out Zizhulu and gave his father eye drops, asking him to close his eyes and soothe for a while.

"You have something to say, say, I'll listen."

Song Zhengtian leaned on the chaise longue with his eyes closed, tilted his head and closed his eyes to soothe him.

"I want to talk about the affairs of the northwest, I feel that this winter is not good, I have accumulated some food, whether to transport it over and store it first, it will be difficult when the war begins. I thought to myself that the ants would have to move over little by little, and find a reliable person to guard it, but I didn't know if it would work.

This time it has been decided that the eldest uncle and Lord Yu of the Yu family will go together, I am still worried in my heart, it is always right to prepare more. ”

After all, she doesn't understand war, but she knows the truth that grain and grass come first, and if there is enough food and grass, it will be slightly easier to fight this battle, and the logistics supply is sufficient.

"Well, I think about it thoughtfully, but I'm afraid of the movement, this thing can't be done in vain, I know your heart, I'm afraid that something will happen to your uncle, but there are some things to worry about the emperor's thoughts, otherwise I will be more than I can do and become an ulterior motive.

I'll go back and discuss with your grandfather and Grandpa Cui, get a reasonable charter, and pull a few more people to do it together, so that the emperor can rest assured, and he will have face on his face. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll get ready first, and then tell me when you need it, I'll move to the warehouse, I'll let people go to Jiangnan and other places to buy grain."
