Chapter 328: Snatching It Back (Three Watches)

Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Nirvana Villa is in full swing and a prosperous scene.

The owner received an order from Shaofu, and it was only the first batch of orders, and there were more orders to follow.

So much so, from the Four Seasons Cloth Village to the textile workshop, they are all very busy.

In order to deliver Shaofu's orders on time, they can only be wronged by those small traders, whose goods can only be delivered later.

Peddler: "......"

What else can I do?

I can only continue to live in the North and South Inn and continue to wait for the goods.

Whoever makes Shaofu the boss is the boss, everyone has to give way.

Wang Yuanniang and Shen Xiaoge get up early every day and work greedily in the dark, just to save money.

When Wang Sanniang was not busy, she handed over the child to Sanniang to take care of.

When she was busy, Wang Yuanniang took a back strip, carried the child behind her, and took care of the child while working.

In order to redeem the conscription, all the money saved by the family was emptied.

As the saying goes, money is the guts of people.

I have no money, and I panic.

The two of them had the same idea, so they hurried to save money.

This year, the owner's business is good, and every day is full.

Do more work and strive to have enough money for the New Year before the Spring Festival.

It would be better if there was a surplus.

When the time comes, buy a new set of clothes for your children and pay more respect to the elderly in your family.

Well, you can also add a few things to your home.

Last time, Yuan Niang took a fancy to a bronze mirror in the north and south grocery stores, but it was too expensive and she was reluctant to buy it.

But Brother Shen knew that Yuan Niang had been thinking about the bronze mirror.

He silently made up his mind that during the Spring Festival, he would save a sum of money to buy the bronze mirror back for Yuan Niang.

Sanniang helped take care of the children, and it was also hard.

During the Chinese New Year, I also have to prepare a gift for Sanniang.

Brother Shen silently calculated in his heart how much it would cost for a Spring Festival.

His budget has been accurate to a penny, which requires him to work harder.

……

Nirvana delivers on time.

Another group of people set off from the capital and headed for the cold frontier.

Shaofu is very satisfied with Nirvana Villa, not only on time, but also the quality of the goods is very good, and he did not cut corners because he was in a hurry.

Especially for ready-to-wear garments, the cotton used is very solid.

Although because of the low price, the cotton is all old cotton, but Shaofu can't find anything wrong.

Originally, when the order was finalized, it was already noted that all cotton clothes were only used in old cotton.

The cotton clothes worn by the big-headed soldiers, where is the court willing to use new cotton.

Being able to stuff old cotton in cotton clothes is enough to weigh the amount, which can be called a great conscience.

Soon, Shaofu came with a second batch of orders.

The officials of Shaofu can also see it, and it is more convenient and faster to hand over the order to Fugui Villa, and it can also save money.

It's weird!

The cost of weaving cloth to make ready-to-wear clothing in Huangzhuang is even more expensive than purchasing directly from Fugui Villa.

No one asked where the extra money went, and everyone remained silent.

While being silent, there is also a tacit understanding.

Military supplies like this are all handed over to Fugui Villa for purchase.

Huangzhuang's side......

Well......

Just let them get by!

It's not easy for everyone these days.

There's no need to embarrass the other party.

……

Fugui Villa was busy catching up with the goods, and Han Qizong was very busy.

The guy told him that there was new news from the capital.

He hurried back to the compound.

"What? Are you sure? ”

Han Qizong roared angrily, his face full of surprise and disbelief.

The messenger guard nodded heavily, "That's what the fourth girl said. There is also a letter from the four girls, please look at it by Mr. Han. ”

If you have a letter, say it early!

Han Qizong hurriedly opened the letter, and the news was true.

What's the news?

The people who were transporting grain and grass were robbed by thieves in the middle of the road, and they suffered heavy casualties and lost part of their grain.

Unable to complete the task, so many people were injured, and the supervisor waved his whip to tell the people who could still move to hurry up and leave those wounded alone.

The wounded were all burdens, left at the post station or on the side of the road, and left to fend for themselves.

Naturally, the people did not agree.

Forget about the dead, they can only be buried on the spot.

Injured people, you must bring them, otherwise you will definitely die in such a cold winter.

The regulator did not agree.

The grain and grass were robbed, and the grain and grass could not be transported to the border on time and in quantity, and this trip was already an unfinished task.

If you don't hurry up and continue to delay, maybe you will be dealt with by military law and directly kill your head and sacrifice to heaven.

Nobody wants to die.

However, those generals will not kill the people and sacrifice to the heavens, they will only kill the overseers to sacrifice to the heavens, so as to appease the restless hearts of the soldiers because of the lack of food and clothing.

Everyone's head is unstable.

Everyone is desperate for the head.

The people don't understand the supervisor, they only act as a supervisor who is cruel and ruthless, and has no humanity.

The overseer doesn't understand the people either.

Those injured people, even if they were brought with them, would most likely die if they lacked medical treatment.

Since they are destined to die, why do you have to bring them with you, delay everyone's trip, waste food, and waste manpower to take care of them.

To make matters worse, the wounded had to occupy the carts and horses that carried the grain and grass.

It was robbed, and it has already suffered heavy losses.

Because of the wounded, a part of the grain and grass was lost, and of course the supervisor did not agree.

Clashes broke out between the two sides.

The people made a fuss and refused to leave.

Unless the regulator compromises.

The supervisor is probably also forced to be in a hurry, and he actually adopted the most extreme and stupid method.

He killed several people with high prestige among the people.

A typical example of killing chickens and monkeys.

It's like stabbing a hornet's nest.

The men were ostensibly obedient and continued to transport grain and grass.

In private, it is ready to move, and it is connected everywhere.

Finally, when resting in a sparsely populated post station, tens of thousands of people suddenly became troubled and killed officials and rebelled!

The grain and grass that was supposed to be transported to the border became the capital of the people's rebellion.

When the news reached the capital, the whole city was in an uproar!

……

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! ”

Han Qizong scolded a lot of damn things, and his cheeks were red with anger.

Among the first batch of people who transported grain and grass, there were homeless tenants from the villa and some local villagers.

This matter is very serious, and it is simple to say that it is simple.

It depends on how to deal with it.

He made a decision immediately, arranged everything, and entrusted Ji Ping to keep an eye on the workshop for him, "I have to go back to the capital and ask the owner in person about the follow-up of this matter." In case the court is held accountable and implicated in the villa, you have to prepare in advance. ”

Ji Ping responded, "Mr. Han will return to the capital as soon as possible, I will watch the villa, and nothing will happen." ”

"Then please take care of the plan."

In order to be in a hurry, Han Qizong did not take a carriage, but rode a horse.

Riding a horse in winter, that's sour......

Horseback riding is one of the skills he learned at Nirvana Villa.

Riding a horse, in a day and a half, I arrived in the capital.

Exhaust him!

But I can't rest yet.

Hurried to the county lord's mansion, rested for a while, and then met the owner Yan Yunge.

"Girl, is this serious?"

Yan Yunge said: "This matter is ten times more serious than you think. The rebellion of the people killing officials is not a big deal, and it has also occurred in previous years. The key problem is that the grain is a supply for the frontier troops. Now that the supplies are gone, the remaining grain and grass of the army cannot support the war, coupled with the severe cold weather, the Wuheng Royal Court is pressing step by step, and the war in the north may be repeated! ”

She had already spoken very subtly.

only said that the war was repeated, but did not say that the Great Wei army was defeated.

Without food, grass, cotton, clothing, and supplies, the probability of the army losing the battle increased rapidly.

Up and down the court, worried.

I heard that Emperor Xiao Chengyi of Taining, after learning that the people rebelled and took away all the grain and cotton clothes, he was so angry that he fell into a coma on the spot.

Fortunately, Xiao Chengyi was young and strong, and soon woke up again.

Replaced by an old and frail emperor, I am afraid that he will be another emperor and be angry to death.

Han Qizong was taken aback, "What does the girl mean that the Northern Army will be defeated?" ”

Yan Yunge pondered for a moment, "Not only will the Northern Army be defeated, but the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou, Youzhou, and even the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou, Marquis Shiwen, Pingwu, may all be defeated." On such a cold day, fighting hungry, and not even a cold cotton suit, how do you say this battle will be fought? ”

"But the Wuheng Royal Court has no food and grass supply."

"The royal court of Wuheng can rob the people. However, the imperial army could only ask the government for money, food, and cotton clothes, and could not rush to the people's homes to rob. When the imperial army really wants to rob the people in order to survive, the Great Wei is in danger! ”

Yes, when the imperial army had to rob the people to survive, how chaotic the world would be.

Han Qizong was worried, "Among this group of people, there are people from our villa. Will the lodge be implicated? ”

That's what he's most concerned about.

Yan Yunge said: "It's not clear yet. The court was noisy and busy, sending troops to escort grain and grass. After the problem of grain and grass was solved, the imperial court had time to hold it accountable. You stay here and see where the wind goes. ”

"Students obey!"

……

Syllable!

Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi kicked over the small stool.

He pointed to the Shaofu family order, his lips opened and closed, but he couldn't speak.

After a few moments, he scolded angrily, "You deserve to die! ”

The Shaofu family order pounced and knelt on the ground, "The old minister really deserves to die!" Please punish Your Majesty! ”

Now the problem is not who to send to escort the grain and grass, but the shortage of grain and grass.

Taining Emperor Xiao Chengyi only felt that the flowers in front of him were green, and he couldn't see clearly.

He rubbed his brow and it took him a while to get back to normal.

"Huge Shaofu, you actually told me that there is no grain and grass? What do you eat? Didn't you say that this year's taxes were paid in full? ”

Shaofu Jia Ling hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this year's taxes are indeed collected in full, but there are also many places to spend money. The local government alone cleared the arrears, withholding nearly forty percent of the taxes. The rest of the tax was transported to the capital, and another 20% was lost.

There are still forty percent left, first to pay off the salaries of the court officials, who have not received their salaries for nearly a year. The rest, and some of them were taken away by the Northern Army. This time, the people rebelled and looted the grain and grass, and the Shaofu tried his best and thought of various methods to get enough for the 200,000 army for half a year.

Where to think, there will be problems in transit. Your Majesty, Shaofu really doesn't have enough food and grass, a little family foundation, and it has to supply the palace for use. Lao Chen suggested that the southern army should be dispatched to kill the rebellious people and snatch back the grain. That's enough food for that group of people to eat for at least two years. As long as you can get it back, the problem is solved! ”
