For Lin Wanying, what happened in the harem now is a small matter, but what Zhao Xuan came to tell him today is a big thing.

Looking at Zhao Xuan and making sure that what he just said was true, Lin Wanying looked at Zhao Xuan and said, "Master, the situation in Jiangnan is important. ”

Lin Wanying looked at Zhao Xuan as soon as he finished saying this, Zhao Xuan hugged her and comforted: "You don't have to worry, although Jiangnan has already fought now."

But your brother is strong in martial arts, not to mention that he has soldiers under him, and the master secretly sent someone to Jiangnan a few days ago. ”

Listening to Zhao Xuan's comforting words, although Lin Wanying's face looked better, she still couldn't help worrying in her heart.

The sword has no eyes, although she knows that what Zhao Xuan said now is good, how can she really not worry.

Thinking that her brother had already fought with them in Jiangnan, Lin Wanying's mind couldn't calm down for a long time.

After thinking about it, Lin Wanying looked at Zhao Xuan and said, "Master, then you are going to tell the courtiers about the fight that has started in Jiangnan tomorrow morning?" ”

Lin Wanying looked at Zhao Xuan and said this, Zhao Xuan immediately nodded at her and said, "I'll tell them tomorrow morning." ”

After Zhao Xuan said this, he looked at Lin Wanying and sighed lightly before continuing: "Lord only hopes that this war can end as soon as possible.

The more time passes, the greater the consumption, but the treasury cannot withstand such a long period of consumption. ”

Although Lin Wanying didn't know what the current situation of the treasury was, when she heard Zhao Xuan's words, she thought about it and said, "Actually, the courtiers all have silver. ”

As soon as Lin Wanying's words fell, Zhao Xuan smiled meaningfully and said: "Ye naturally knows that they have silver in their hands, but it is their silver, and Ye has no way to let them take it out." ”

Zhao Xuan was really short of silver, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with thinking about the courtiers' silver.

How could he not know how much of the money in the homes of these courtiers was greedy, and how much was the people's fat and people's anointing.

But he is a saint, and he cannot speak directly to them and ask them to bring out the money.

Lin Wanying looked at Zhao Xuan, and saw the indissoluble sorrow between his eyebrows, and after hesitating for a moment, she still spoke: "Master, when the concubine looked at the account books before, she found that there were a lot of backlogs in the treasury of the palace.

You say, can you pawn these things in the pawnshops opened by a few courtiers? ”

Zhao Xuan frowned subconsciously when he heard Lin Wanying's words.

Seeing him frowning, Lin Wanying hurriedly spoke up again: "Naturally, you can't take things to pawn in a grand manner.

The concubine body means to take it secretly, but you want to let those ministers know that this is what you mean. ”

Lin Wanying watched Zhao Xuan finish saying this, and saw that he was puzzled, so she patiently explained: "What to pawn is secondary, the key is to let these ministers who have silver in their hands take the opportunity to send you silver." ”

After saying this, Lin Wanying saw that she looked thoughtful, and hurriedly said: "The concubine can also invite their wives into the palace, and the concubine will take the lead in taking out the private money to buy more rice and meat for the soldiers."

Their ladies are naturally not good at not taking them. ”

Lin Wanying didn't know if Zhao Xuan had listened to the two methods he said, but he didn't continue to say these words after seeing that he seemed to think of something.

But in the end, she didn't forget to look at Zhao Xuan and said: "This matter, if it is useful to the concubine, you must also tell the concubine." ”

Lin Wanying knew that Zhao Xuan still wanted to save face in the end.

She was afraid that Zhao Xuan would think that she was in charge of a lot, so she didn't say much.

Lin Wanying didn't say anything, and Zhao Xuan didn't stay with her for long before going back.

After Zhao Xuan left, Lin Wanying summoned a new Hongwen.

Hongwen, who was sent to the palace by Mo Lian to replace Mo Ling, does look a little like Mo Ling, but she looks alike, but her temperament is not the same.

At this time, she came to Lin Wanying, and after saluting Lin Wanying respectfully, she waited for Lin Wanying to speak.

is used to every time Hongwen is coquettish to herself, and now that Hongwen is not coquettish, Lin Wanying is still a little unaccustomed.

"Hongwen, can you still contact the outside of the palace now?"

Lin Wanying watched as Hongwen had just finished saying this, and Hongwen nodded at her and said, "Yes, Madame sent the slave maid into the palace just to facilitate the master's contact outside the palace." ”

Listening to Hongwen's similar tone to Mo Ling, Lin Wanying continued to ask, "Then you are the Mo family?" ”

Hongwen didn't expect Lin Wanying to ask this, and only then did she nod at her before she spoke: "The slave's mother is the personal maid next to the original lady. ”

As soon as she heard Hongwen's words, Lin Wanying nodded reassuringly.

Her mother's original personal maidservant, that loyalty naturally does not need to be doubted.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanying took out a letter she had written before and handed it to Hongwen, and said to her, "You have to find a way to send this letter to Madame as soon as possible." ”

Lin Wanying only said this sentence, and did not say the rest of the words.

When Hongwen heard her words, she just nodded and took the letter.

As for whether Lin Wanying was in a hurry to deliver the letter or test her, she didn't ask much.

After watching her leave, Lin Wanying called the tourmaline and asked her to sort out the gold and silver in her warehouse.

"Master, what are you going to do with all this?"

Tourmaline looked at Lin Wanying incomprehensibly, and as soon as she finished saying this, Lin Wanying did not hesitate to answer: "Naturally, it is useful."

You can't put the things that the master gave me, and the things sent by other people, as long as you think they are useless, pick them out.

As for the gold and silver, you look at the counting, and after leaving half of it, the rest is also put away. ”

After Lin Wanying's words fell, Tourmaline didn't understand.

If you don't understand, you have to do it, who made Lin Wanying the master, and she was a maidservant.

While Lin Wanying was busy liquidating these things, the Queen Mother of Shoukang Palace also heard some rumors.

The Queen Mother has been operating in the harem for decades, and only what she wants to know and what she doesn't want to know, so far there is nothing that can hide from her.

Just like Lin Wanying sent a letter to the Lin Mansion, she also knew it.

She would also send letters to the Wen family before, but as long as the letter sent by Lin Wanying had no impact on the royal family and her son, the emperor, she naturally pretended not to know.

This time, as soon as Lin Wanying's front foot sent a letter and the back foot asked people to pack up their things, the Queen Mother received the news.

Thinking that Zhao Xuan had just left Chenyuan Palace before, the Queen Mother concluded that this matter was not a trivial matter.

It only took less than an hour for the Queen Mother's people to find out what was going on.

"So, the second and the fifth are really opposites?"

After the Queen Mother looked at the old eunuch under her and said this, the old eunuch nodded to the Queen Mother and said, "That's true."

Because the emperor did not leave too much silver to the saint, now the saint is worried that the war will not stop, the consumption will be too large, and the treasury will not be enough.

The queen mother wrote back to the Lin Mansion in addition to telling the second lady Lin that there was a war in the south of the Yangtze River, and also asked the Lin Mansion to donate generously this time to relieve the saint's worries.

And the queen mother packed up the things in the palace, except for the one given to her by the saint, she only left half of the gold and silver, and the other gold, silver and jade were all put away by the maidservant alone. ”

As soon as the old eunuch finished saying this to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother instructed him: "Send a message to the Wen family, and what the Lin family does tomorrow, the Wen family will do." ”

As soon as the queen mother's words fell, the old eunuch nodded at her, and then respectfully retreated.

After the old eunuch left, the queen mother looked at the grandmother beside her and said, "Go and divide the gold, silver and jade of this palace into four parts."

Four points of the palace are kept for themselves, one is sent to the queen, and one is sent to the saint. ”

After saying this, the Queen Mother sighed softly before continuing: "Keep the last one first, and then distribute it to the grandchildren of the palace." ”

As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, the grandmother beside her immediately retreated.

Zhao Xuan didn't know what Lin Wanying and the Queen Mother did for him at this time.

He rested very early tonight, and he didn't stay up late as he did the other day, because he knew that he had a tough battle to fight tomorrow.

The next morning, Lin Wanying got up quite early, and after waking up, the first thing she said was to look at the pearl and ask, "Is there any success in going to the saint early?" ”

Hearing Lin Wanying's words, Pearl was still a little confused.

However, although she didn't understand what Lin Wanying meant, Pearl still looked at Lin Wanying and said, "Today's morning dynasty is not over yet, what does the master mean?" ”

As soon as Pearl spoke, Lin Wanying frowned and said, "It's not over yet?" What time is it? ”

"It's almost time, and the morning dynasty has not ended before a stick of incense, so I don't know what happens at this time."

As soon as Pearl finished speaking, Lin Wanying immediately became worried.

At this time, in the court of the previous dynasty, the atmosphere was really not good.

Zhao Xuan mentioned the matter of Jiangnan as soon as he went to the court today and dealt with a few small things.

What can happen in Jiangnan now, it is not the matter of the sons of the two former emperors who are emperors in Jiangnan.

When Zhao Xuangang talked about this, the ministers above the court scolded the generals for asking for war.

Zhao Xuan didn't want to talk nonsense with them, and soon naturally mentioned the matter of the treasury.

Zhao Xuan didn't hide it, and directly said that the treasury was empty, and asked Ji Wenwu and hundreds of officials, what is the way.

In this matter, what can the civil and military officials Zhuang do, even Lin Zhiheng and the Wen family, who are ready to pay for the silver, can't think of any way for a while.

The treasury is already empty, and now it is in a hurry to ask for money, how can it be possible.

In the end, it was Lin Zhiheng who took the initiative to speak to Zhao Xuan: "This battle is definitely going to be fought, but the ministers don't know what you mean, Holy Lord." ”

With Lin Zhiheng opening his mouth, Zhao Xuan followed his words and opened his mouth to express his meaning.

Zhao Xuan originally didn't want to kill his brother, but now that there is such a thing, he naturally won't be soft.

After the courtiers understood what Zhao Xuan meant, Lin Zhiheng was naturally the first to say that he was the first to say that his son was leading the army in Jiangnan.

He knew the suffering of the soldiers, so he was willing to give 10,000 taels of silver, rice, grain, meat, vegetables and other things to the army, so that the soldiers could be fed and clothed.

As soon as Lin Zhiheng spoke, the Wen family, who had been prepared, naturally followed suit.

The current head of the Wen family is also interesting, he looked directly at Zhao Xuan and Lin Zhiheng and said: "The minister listens to the queen mother's intentions, and intends to wait for General Lin to return to Beijing to marry his beloved daughter at home."

The minister is such a precious daughter, for the sake of his son-in-law, the minister naturally has to give silver. ”

Zhao Xuan was most helpless about his uncle, and after nodding at him, he expressed satisfaction with the 10,000 taels of silver tickets he gave.

After having 20,000 taels, Zhao Xuan originally thought that things would go smoothly in the future, but he didn't expect the next courtier to come forward and say that his family background was not as good as the Wen family, and his official position was not as good as Lin Xiang.

The family is frugal, and I am afraid that I can only come up with a hundred taels of silver.

He watched Zhao Xuan just finish saying this, and Zhao Xuan looked at him and didn't know what to say.

How on earth is he going to go down with this money?
