Yun Chi left Beijing, and a lot of things pressed on An Shuli again.

But fortunately, the emperor's body and bones have improved a little, and he went to the early dynasty, with the emperor on top, and An Shuli can take a breath.

Since Hua Yan was rescued back to Beijing, he only took a look, when Hua Yan just came back and fell asleep, he didn't enter, and he didn't see anyone, he originally planned to come to visit in two days, but he didn't expect the King of Lingnan to move his troops so soon, Yun Chi left Beijing in a hurry, he needed to do more.

He didn't sleep all night last night, and discussed grain and grass with Cheng Guzhi, thinking that there were many natural disasters last year, although grain and grass are not in short supply now, but they can't last a few months, what he is afraid of is that this is a long-term battle, if it doesn't go so well, it will be overstretched if it takes half a year to fight.

Cheng Guzhi analyzed the current situation with him, and also felt that if the north and south raised troops at the same time, it was not optimistic, after all, in addition to grain and grass, there were also horses, military uniforms, armor, and all the supplies used in the barracks, all of which required silver.

The four places in the southeast and northwest, the southwest recovered the chaos last year, the consumption was very great, the life has just been restored, and there is not much grain and grass to be taken out, the north has been hollowed out by Su Zizhen over the years, the people's livelihood taxes are too heavy, and there is no way to deprive it again, the king of Lingnan rebelled, and the southeast became the territory of the king of Lingnan.

For many generations, Lin'an and Le Anping are rich and fruitful, and the Hua family has been operating for generations, but they can't take it for granted, after all, the restoration of the southwest territory after the war is due to the Hua family's efforts to pour out the entire southwest, with the assistance of An 16 and An 17, An Shuli knows this matter best. And in the north, Hua Yan and Su Zi also brought the Hua family with them when they were in the purge, it can be said that last year's fight was even more ruthless in the north, fighting with Su Zizhu, the madman, treating human life like a mustard, and even Hua Yan himself almost accompanied him, although An Shuli was not clear, but Cheng Guzhi was clear.

Therefore, now that Hua Zhuo has taken the Hua family's forces to the Wasteland Mountain, how much ability and financial resources the Hua family still has, they really don't dare to protect it, so they still have to ask Hua Yan if they can rely on it.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, he said that he would rather not let the Crown Princess the gods, and try not to disturb her, but this kind of thing, still have to find her, if the Hua family is also weak now, then they will inevitably rely on the people everywhere to pay more taxes and reduce food and clothing, the war has started, the most bitter is the people, and then increase the tax, the people can hardly ensure that they do not complain.

But Nanchu is in such a situation now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sitting in this position, with the ability to do things, gritting his teeth to support it, if he changes others, even An Shuli feels that this is a sign of the death of the country.

Who would have thought that after 400 years of development in Southern Chu, the world would reach such a precarious place? If he didn't enter the court, he wouldn't sit in the position of this Zaifu, and he wouldn't believe that the huge Southern Chu rivers and mountains would be overwhelmed everywhere.

An Shuli thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just left, and the Crown Princess was not used to it for a while, and he would look for her in a few days. Unexpectedly, when he got out of the morning court, he received a message from Hua Yan, and immediately dropped the matter in his hand and immediately came to see her.

Huayan got up late, and after cleaning up, it was already noon.

Mama Fang was afraid of starving, "Crown Princess, is it okay to pass the meal?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll make up two pieces of pastry made by my stepmother first, and Ahn Jae-fu will come soon after getting the letter, so let's have lunch here together." Hua Yan glanced at the sky.

Mama Fang nodded and took two plates of pastries for Hua Yan.

Sure enough, as Hua Yan expected, An Shuli soon came to Dongyuan.

Hua Yan ordered people to set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, and sat at the table and waited for An Shuli.

After An Shuli came, he saluted Hua Yan, saw that she looked good, and said with a smile, "The minister is still worried about the crown princess, it seems that he is too worried." ”

"Sit down." Hua Yan smiled and waved her hand, "You don't have to be polite to keep the book." ”

An Shuli sat down, and when he saw that she was commensurate with her name, he stopped calling himself a minister, and said with a smile, "Your Highness just left, I was going to come back in two days to bother you, but I didn't expect you to be unable to sit still first." ”

Hua Yanjiang was not in a hurry to say things, and the pastry made by Duchess Jingguo pushed it in front of him, "This is the pastry made by my stepmother who has been busy all morning, it is very delicious, you can taste two pieces." ”

An Shuli nodded, picked up the pastry and took a bite, and commented with a smile, "Duchess Jingguo is ingenious, and it is better than the pastries made by my mother." ”

Hua Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "When the princess hears it, she will hit you." ”

An Shuli sighed, "I haven't been back to the palace for more than a month, and she can't see me if she wants to, let alone beat me." ”

"The court is busy, and it is all pressed on you, and it is really hard." Hua Yan smiled, "I never thought that the situation in Nanchu would be so grim as it is now. ”

"Who would have thought." An Shuli ate a piece of pastry, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said with a solemn face, "Even if Your Highness is given another three years to rectify, it will not be like this." ”

"Things are not necessarily bad today. The longer the backlog, the more powerless it becomes. Hua Yan said softly, "Today's Yunchi, after the good Liang Huaiyu back then, he can't be saved." ”

"Yes." An Shuli saw Hua Yan say Houliang calmly, and he asked, "You are in a hurry to call me over today, but what are your plans for me to arrange?" ”

Hua Yan nodded, "I wanted to ask you about food and grass." It can last for half a year. ”

An Shuli shook his head, "The army in the north and south is fully mobilized, not for half a year, but only four or five months." When the words fell, he rubbed his eyebrows, "I never expected that the king of Lingnan would collect 450,000 soldiers and horses from the imperial court, and also put the entire granary in the southeast in his hands. ”

Flowery face.

An Shuli looked at her, "What is the best plan for the crown princess?" ”

Hua Yan looked at him with a smile, "Why don't you ask me directly, how much rice can the Hua family take out as a backing?" ”

An Shuli smiled embarrassedly and coughed lightly, "That's exactly what I mean." ”

"If I say that the rice grain of the Hua family, the whole line is used, it is not enough to support two months, can you believe it?" Hua Yan looked at him.

An Shuli immediately said, "Faith." When the words fell, he sighed, "Yesterday, when I discussed with Cheng Guzhi, I also felt that the Hua family was afraid that it had been hollowed out and there was not much left, even if the Hua family had been for many years, but rice grain could not be kept for too long, at most three years, it would become old rice and old grain, and if it was long, it could not be used, and the horses were afraid of mold and did not eat." ”

Hua Yan nodded, "If you say that the wealth of the Hua family is gold and silver, it is comparable to the national treasury, I am the crown princess, my brother and the generation of the Hua family, although I have ancestral teachings, but the current national crisis, I will not be stingy and not give it, but no matter how much gold and silver, it is not rice grain." ”

"It seems that it is indispensable to take rice and grain from the people." An Shuli pursed his lips, "But if you buy it with gold and silver, you are afraid that the price of rice and grain will be speculated." ”

Hua Yan shook her head, "No, don't buy it yet." This is the final step. ”

An Shuli stared at her, "The crown princess has a strategy?" ”

"Hmm." Hua Yan nodded and looked at him, "It is said that the lawsuit of the An clan is still in a mess, and there is no conclusion?" ”

An Shuli was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect her voice to turn to the An clan when she said this, he nodded, and said with a headache, "Brother Huazhuo saved me, don't thank you, and pushed it on His Highness, and my father decided to check and sort out the An clan by himself and open a way for His Highness." But I didn't expect it to be really tricky. Later, His Royal Highness went to the Wasteland Mountain, and now he rescued you, and it coincided with the rebellion of the King of Lingnan, and His Royal Highness left Beijing again, and the An family has been dragging it until now, and His Royal Highness wants to uproot the officialdom filth implicated by the family, so it can only be put on hold for the time being, and I can't spare my hands to pay attention to it. ”

Hua Yan picked up the teacup, shook the light blue tea in the tea on her wrist, and said slowly, "Now is an opportunity, why don't we join forces and do it in one step, take this opportunity to solve the matter of grain and grass, and also uproot the roots of the family entrenched in the imperial court." How do you say? ”

An Shu was eccentric, "What do you mean ......?"

"That's what you think, are you willing to take the An clan to the knife?" Hua Yan asked.

"Naturally, I am willing to do it." An Shuli has been annoyed these days, and his eyes are cold, "The people of the An clan, the hearts of the people are not enough to swallow the elephant, thinking that I did An Zaifu, and they also followed the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, the father is a member of the security clan, and would rather resign from the hereditary title, although the eldest brother is a good woman, and his ability is ordinary, but he is not confused, he would rather not be the son of the world, but also want the An clan to check himself, but the branches and leaves protect the branches, painstakingly, but the An clan, the old and the young, not only do not think about their own faults, but also take the father to do the war, saying that he is for my official position, Regardless of the life and death of the clansmen, in the past month, my father has been angry and sick three times. I can't allow them to be blind and confused anymore. ”

"Well, since you are willing, let's do a game together, take the An clan to open the knife, and take the sect to open the way." Hua Yan Xiu's eyebrows were awe-inspiring, "In front of the peaceful and prosperous era of Southern Chu, no one wants to be a moth again." ”

"Okay!" An Shuli is the final word.
