Mu Yunlan looked at the three words Yunli City on the city wall, raised her hand and touched the sweat on her forehead, her eyes were shining with joy. When she heard that there was a celebration in Yunli City during the Double Ninth Festival, she rented a carriage and came here.

I don't know if it's because of Dabai, the coachman trembled all the way and ran extremely fast, so she just caught up.

Yunli City is much smaller than the other five states, but here is the most prosperous and beautiful place in Yunnan, the Min River passes through the city, dividing Yunli into two parts, north and south, like a pearl dotted on the riverside.

Entering the city, the streets are neat and clean, and the roads are lined with calendulas, which are in full bloom at this time. The pink and red petals are inlaid with white and gold edges, gently swaying in the breeze, and are beautiful to look at.

Mu Yunlan found a small stall and ordered a bowl of small wontons, the hot little wontons were so delicious that they seemed to be able to swallow their tongues, and the bright boiling soup was white and fat, dotted with green shallots and coriander, and round sesame oil flowers floated.

Mu Yunlan squinted her eyes, and didn't even have soup left in a bowl of wonton, because she was in a hurry, there were slight beads of sweat on her forehead, her lips were also hot and red, and her big eyes were watery.

"Thank you, boss." Little Wonton is really good, buy one later and give it to Dabai to taste.

Looking at the sea upstairs, the outside was heavily guarded, Yue Jingxuan took people up to the second floor, and after a simple greeting, he was bored listening to everyone's compliments. Now, there is no problem with his body, and many things can be done freely, and in less than two months, he has more or less used the knife on almost everyone present.

After drinking another glass of Zan Yuan's toast, Yue Jingxuan cast his eyes out the window. He had already given an order to plant marigolds in the city, and just wait for the flowering period to come, and then bring Yun Lan back to enjoy the grand scene. But unexpectedly, the calendula opened, but Yun Lan was gone.

Suddenly, there was a flash in front of his eyes, as if he had seen a familiar figure in the crowd.

Seeing Yue Jingxuan stand up suddenly, Tianshu hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, what do you command?" ”

Yue Jingxuan ignored him, jumped directly from the window, and his sleeves flew down the street like a god.

He looked at the wonton booth just now, it was empty, and it was clear that there was no one.

The people on the street were stunned by what he had just done, and they whispered about it, and some of the people who recognized his identity hurriedly retreated.

Tianshu and Tianxuan rushed over; "Master?"

Yue Jingxuan lowered his eyes, his chest was still rising and falling, the joy of soaring to the sky and the huge loss were transformed too quickly, and the violent mood swings made him feel difficult to breathe: "I just ......"

"Master, I am dazzled." During this period of time, the master's emotions have been tense, and this is not the first time that such a situation has occurred.

“…… Let's go back. Back upstairs, Yue Jingxuan was still a little absent-minded.

I don't know how many times, he would suddenly open his eyes at night, hoping that Yun Lan would suddenly appear and tell him that it was just a nightmare, and he would stand at the door for a while when he returned to the room, hoping that she would open the door and scare himself...... He doesn't believe in Buddhism or fate, but now he has brought the Buddha beads and copied the scriptures, hoping that my Buddha will be merciful and can send Yun Lan back to him.

Li Yuanzhou's loud voice suddenly sounded: "Lord Zhancheng, you are not kind, our Longcheng is already poor and evil, and there is not enough food to eat, but there are not so many things to allocate to help the victims." ”

"City Lord Li, Longcheng is like a cloud, and the grassland is vast, why did it become a poor mountain and bad water in your mouth? Besides, now, the prince and the court are fighting for the world, what is needed is the will of the people, and it is natural to help the victims, how can you turn a blind eye? ”

"Don't you say it nicely, you don't bleed, do you?" Li Yuanzhou's eyes were full of suspicion, "You literati, you are very good at talking, but in fact you have a bag of bad water in your stomach, the prince wants to fight with the imperial court, we Longcheng want to contribute good horses, the prince wants to fight, and we in Longcheng want to pay money to help the victims, so what are you going to do?" Just out of your mouth? ”

Zan Yuan's face turned dark, he knew that Li Yuanzhou was a rough man, but he didn't expect him to say so ugly: "City Lord Li, what do you call Longcheng, we Zhaotong?" The five states of Yunnan are all the fiefdoms of the prince, you and I are in the position of the city lord, and it is the prince who serves us, how can we divide each other? ”

"Well, since there is no distinction between each other, then you will take out all the money of Zhaotong to help the victims, I will be the first to serve you!"

"You're a strong ......"

"You are shameless......"

Yue Jingxuan's eyebrows furrowed, and the wine cup in his hand was put down heavily, making a muffled sound.

Li Yuanzhou and Zan Yuan stopped talking at the same time.

Yue Jingxuan was dull together, but the momentum around him was oppressive: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and these political affairs should not be discussed, but the current situation is critical, and what can be decided today will be decided." The drought is severe, the people are suffering, and tens of thousands of people are displaced, even if the five states of Yunnan are pouring their strength, the people who can be rescued are also limited, and the money for disaster relief can solve the temporary urgency, not a long-term solution. ”

"It's still the king's wisdom." Li Yuanzhou glared at Zan Yuan, his face full of disbezement.

Zan Yuan stood up: "Lord Wang, Yunnan is the least affected, many people are gathering in Yunnan, if they are all turned away, it may not be good for the great cause of the prince." ”

"Then let's recruit troops." Yue Jingxuan said lightly.

Recruit soldiers?

"The population of Yunnan is not very large, and the troops are relatively scattered, and now the situation is critical, and it is difficult to achieve the problem if the troops are insufficient, among the victims, there are family members together, and one strong man can let two family members enter the city, and those who are single can directly become soldiers, and the old and weak women and children can enter the military quartermaster department to help prepare military grain and grass, and they can ensure that they do not die of hunger if they have a mouthful of food."

Li Yuanzhou was dumbfounded when he heard this, and nodded with his mouth wide open: "The prince is wise!" ”

As Zan Yuan said, if you don't give relief to the victims, it will inevitably lose the support of the people, making the people think that the prince is as cruel and unkind as the court. If it is to help the victims, so many people will continue to pour into Yunnan, and they can be dragged down just by dragging them down. That's even more than worth the cost.

Yue Jingxuan's eyes swept and took everyone's expressions into his eyes: "What do you think of this method?" ”

"The prince is thoughtful, this method is very good."

"Yes, it has not only achieved the purpose of providing relief to the victims, but also replenished the source of soldiers, which is good, not bad."

Hearing everyone's approval, Yue Jingxuan nodded: "The method is good, but it is difficult to support it with financial resources and food only by relying on this king, so please discuss it and see how much money and materials are appropriate." ”

Everyone sighed in their hearts, not to let them recruit by themselves, but to donate silver for the prince to recruit? Isn't this taking money to make a wedding dress for someone else?

When they heard this idea, they all felt that it was very beautiful, because they sat in the land of five states, but there were not many soldiers around them, this time to replace the soldiers with relief is the best time to expand their strength, those victims were forced to have no way to live, give them a way to live, they must be grateful to Dade, such soldiers have a lot of loyalty invisibly, it can be said that they can be counted in one fell swoop.

It's just that before they could figure it out, Yue Jingxuan took out a knife and clearly wanted to cut meat from them to fatten himself.

Yue Jingxuan picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, listened to the buzzing of everyone, lowered his eyes, and patiently waited for the results of everyone's deliberations.

Tianshu and the others stood behind Yue Jingxuan expressionlessly.

At this time, there seemed to be a little conflict downstairs, and Tianshu hurriedly went down to deal with it. After a while, he came up: "Back to the prince, someone was about to leave the restaurant just now, and he resisted after being stopped by the guards, and he has been killed on the spot!" ”

Yue Jingxuan nodded lightly: "Okay." ”

The discussion suddenly fell silent, and they were killed on the spot, this is not someone making trouble, this is the prince's deliberate killing of chickens and monkeys, and they are those monkeys who were warned, telling them that if they can't satisfy the prince, then they will also be killed on the spot!

"Lord Wang, the old minister's family is in the middle of the road, and the disciples in the clan are not angry, so they can only take out 500,000 taels of silver, please don't dislike it." An old man sitting in the far corner stood up and said tremblingly.

He is the Sun family, a few decades ago, there was a governor of Yunnan in the family, and the Sun family was promoted to the status of a first-class family, but now, the prince has entered Yunnan, and the governor alone has killed five.

I was thinking about how many suitable people to take out to see him, a mouthful of old blood choked in my throat, and I sold all the Sun family's dismantling and dismantling, and I couldn't sell 500,000 taels, besides, you are a defeated Sun family, and you dare to take out 500,000 taels of silver, what should they do?

Yue Qinghan was the second to stand up: "Lord Wang, the Yue clan has few people, and it can't be compared with a few city lords and great families, but Qinghan is willing to do his best and is willing to sacrifice two million taels of silver." ”

Two million taels can already be said to be the strength of the entire clan of the Leaning Moon Clan. Yue Qinghan is desperate to use all his worth to support his sweetheart.

Zan Yuan's face sank silently, and the meaning flashed in his eyes, Yue Qinghan's move caught him a little off guard.

In the future, the prince will ascend to the great treasure, and Yue Qinghan, like Zan Li, will enter the harem. And their performance has always been the bargaining chip for the position of the harem women in the future. If he doesn't support Yue Jingxuan today, or if the silver taels he sends are less than Yue Qinghan, then in the future, Zan Li will have a little less confidence than Yue Qinghan.

The 500,000 taels offered by the Sun family drew the next minimum benchmark for everyone present, after all, they thought they were all stronger than the Sun family, if they gave less than him, how could the family's face remain?

The two million taels that Yue Qinghan offered was a signal to other families with daughters, if they want their daughters to fly on the branches, don't be stingy and make them a golden phoenix.

No matter what, it's all a benefit.
