The old princess's words gave Tang Yining a wake-up call, so Tang Yining went to the general's mansion the next day.

Li Zhao smiled and took Tang Yining's hand and asked her to sit down: "The days go by so fast, your belly has been almost three months, I see, your belly seems to be a little pregnant?" ”

Tang Yining heard it and subconsciously touched his stomach: "I don't know, although I touch it every day, but my feelings are not very clean, but when I touch it, I seem to feel a little different." ”

"Didn't I tell you, rest at home and don't go out and walk around anymore, why don't you listen?" Li Zhao was a little happy that Tang Yining came to see her, but she couldn't help but worry about her body.

Tang Yining was a little embarrassed, seeing Li Zhao so happy, after all, she came here today with a purpose.

"Godmother, I came to you today to ask you what you lack most at the border gate, and I want to send some to Tianrui. In this regard, I still don't know what you know. ”

Li Zhao's first reaction was that Xie Tianrui sent a letter back and explained what was lacking at the border pass, so he was a little worried.

"Could it be that someone is mistaking supplies in the army? Those supplies and grain and grass were not delivered to the border in time, and something happened? ”

If that's the case, put it there......

Tang Yining didn't expect Li Zhao's head to turn so fast, so he hurriedly waved his hand. After all, looking at Li Zhao's appearance, it seems that he is going to rush to the border in the next moment and beat up those who are "suspected" of withholding materials in the army.

"No, no, godmother, you misunderstood, this is just my own personal thoughts. I haven't heard from Tianrui for so long, and I can't go to him myself, so I want someone to send some supplies over, one is to adjust their quality of life, and the other is to know how he is doing. ”

As soon as Tang Yining explained this, Li Zhao figured it out, after all, she had also experienced Tang Yining's stage, Tang Yining was not used to it better than her after all, she sighed helplessly.

"What are you talking about...... Hey! What a blessing Tianrui is to marry such a good daughter-in-law as you. That's why I don't have a son, it's a pity. If I had a son, I would have given you to marry you early and be my daughter-in-law. ”

Tang Yining gently leaned into Li Zhao's arms: "What the godmother said, it seems that Yining is not your daughter now, and the goddaughter is also a daughter." ”

"At this time, I know that my mouth is sweet, and I coax my godmother to be happy."

Li Zhao gently patted Tang Yining's back, and for a while he also had a feeling that he was old, and the children were already preparing to have children, but wasn't he old?

But even the girl who is Ying doesn't know when she will be able to land, so that she can put her mind at ease.

However, she didn't forget the question Tang Yining raised just now, and thought about it in her heart.

"Well, let's get down to business. If you are at the border, you must need warm clothes, you must know that the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and it is not good to freeze at night, even if you have a layer of armor around your body, it is useless. If you catch a cold, according to the conditions of the border pass, I am afraid that there will be a big problem. ”

"In addition, it's not very good to eat, it's steamed buns all day long, in the frontier, some of them are good to eat, the taste is not good, and the satiety is just right. After all, in recent years, the country has been unstable, and the invasion of tribes of all sizes, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, is really troublesome. ”

"Well, good! Don't worry, Godmother, I'll prepare these. Tang Yining wrote them all down.

Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, Li Zhao knew by himself that the treasury was estimated to be bottoming out, otherwise, the grain and grass transported this time should be more than three times more.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. This time, the grain and grass took so long to prepare, and the quantity was not much. But it can already be seen from this aspect.

However, there is no need to tell Tang Yining about this, there are some things that I still don't know. Even if you know, you can't change anything, you can only do your best to do the current thing.

Fortunately, Tang Yining had a heart, thinking of what Tang Yining had just mentioned, she couldn't help but joke.

"By the way, how many things are you going to raise? There are a lot of people at the border passes, don't look at the generals who are armed with swords and guns, and there are many little Jiujiu in my heart. No, no, no, how much can you prepare? If it's not enough, the godmother still has a little here. ”

Although, even after so many years in the industry, the silver has been spent for various reasons, but there are still more or less there.

Every general is a man of real power, and they have their own guards and horses under them. No matter how much or how little, they are their direct subordinates, and for the sake of these brothers who trust themselves and follow their birth to death, they are willing to even put anything.

Moreover, the border passes are too bitter, the conditions are too difficult, as long as there is food, they will become a big mouth, wanting to swallow everything they can eat into their mouths.

This is also a problem, Tang Yining has also thought about it, but no matter how much it is, it is just a drop in the bucket. She can only do a little bit, and nothing else can be done.

"I'll send as many people as there are at the border gates, but I don't know if I can raise so many people at the border, maybe I can deliver them in batches." Tang Yining said seriously, but Li Zhao was stunned.

"That's tens of thousands of troops, how many things can you prepare? Where did you get so much silver? ”

"Godmother, you forgot, I opened three shops, and the money that these three shops have earned so far, I guess I am afraid that I have emptied the purses of all the female dependents in the capital." Maybe not, after all, there are many corrupt officials in officialdom.

I think back then, there was a good saying, any one who came out of the capital was an official. There is also a sentence called 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion in three years.

Li Zhao looked at Tang Yining's stupid appearance, a little helpless.

"That's all your hard-earned money, you should save it yourself, how much you have to keep for yourself, there will always be a time when it will be useful in the future, there is no need to just put it all in." She really didn't expect that Tang Yining would do this.

"It doesn't matter, this silver is taken from the people and used by the people. Isn't that good? Besides, if the silver is gone, it will be enough to earn it again, and money is just something outside the body. The emperor is afraid that he also wants to raise donations in Beijing, but these ministers are all old fritters one by one, and they will say two good words when they play Tai Chi, and recall the situation of the first emperor in his life, and they will be sloppy. ”

Tang Yining, even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he guessed it. After all, people don't die for themselves.

"But ......"

"Godmother, don't worry, I'm different from them."

"I can come up with good things that their wives can't refuse, and make them willingly take out a lot of money. Anyway, if this silver is not earned by me, the emperor can say that they will be moved, and after they are raised, they will also be sent to the border gates, I just saved a process, saved everyone's time, and did not let anyone suffer. ”

It's better to send things over earlier, but if it's late, I don't know if anything will happen. When there is a result on the emperor's side, the battle over there may have already been fought.

Tang Yining said lightly, and she really thought so in her heart, this money will never be used up or earned. As long as you can spend money, you will make money, so what do you do with the money? Just have enough money.

"And, don't you have confidence in me, godmother? If I can open these three stores, I will be able to open more shops, and then the profit will only increase every day, and there will be no loss. ”

Li Zhao touched Tang Yining's hair: "It can be regarded as if you have a heart, even if you were worried about him before I changed it, I never thought of this matter." "This he, obviously, is talking about the general of Zhengbei.

"However, can I send it to my godmother? Will it not be accepted? Will there be any bad effects? ”

"What can't you give here, there are many people in the court who want you to send as much as possible, in that case, they can completely deduct the share that they let them send over." For these, Li Zhao's feelings are much deeper than Tang Yining's.

Tang Yining nodded understandingly, so this thing can be done, and there are no worries.

"That's good! In that case, I'm going to send 5,000 people first, and then I'll send it over one after another. ”

Five thousand people are actually not so easy to raise, if it weren't for Tang Yining's willingness to pay a large price, it is estimated that it will take a few days, but she already has some impatience.

As long as it's a problem that money can solve, it's not a problem. As long as you can make Xie Tianrui good, what is it to spend more money.

"By the way, what did you say to Ying'er after you left me that day?" Li Zhao suddenly remembered a question that he had been asking Tang Yining all along.

"What's wrong?"

After that day, Ying'er actually took the initiative to find Li Yuan and take him for a walk. Isn't it, the relationship between these two people has grown by leaps and bounds all at once? ”

Tang Yining smiled, in fact, she didn't do anything, just told Lian Ying about the mustard in her heart. She told Li Zhao what she had said to Lian Ying, and Li Zhao showed a thoughtful expression when she heard this.

"In the end, there has been a gap over the years, and there is little communication between the two people, and sometimes I can't figure out what she is thinking."

I originally thought it was because I was disgusted with getting married too early, so I resisted so much, but who knew that it was because she felt uneasy that she thought she was going to abandon her, so she wanted to push her to someone else's house early.

"Fortunately, you kid persuaded me, otherwise I'm afraid I'll never be able to figure out what Ying'er thinks in her heart. Alas, this daughter of mine is really worrying. ”

Tang Yining thought of Lian Ying and Li Yuan's recent actions, and couldn't help but smile lightly.
