Chapter 46: The Trench Lacks Humanity and Makes a Noise
What is the inhumanity of the trench, let's put it this way, the original Xuancang soldiers brought by Qiao Yun were about more than 200 people, Yan Yu loaded his own inventory into the car, counted the horses out of the stable, and half of the family members were drawn out and joined Qiao Yun and Yu Xianting's soldiers and horses, the number of people who could play a role in guarding increased to 1,000 in a straight line, the number of horses increased to 800, and the carriage increased to 500, and this night is really unruly, there are even blades and armor in the warehouse of Yan Yu, according to normal logic, the family dares to tun this kind of thing, isn't it to rebel? It can be said that there is everything, and there is no shortage of swords, guns, swords, and halberds.
After the soldiers were mixed, they were unified under the management of Yu Xianting, and Yanyu said that he only took care of me by my side, and he didn't want to ask about anything else. Even half of his treasury silver family property was counted to Twilight Changyan, and when Twilight Changyan came to me with the list of lists, he was overjoyed, and told me that the consumption of this return to Xuancang was less than the amount of these stocks.
Exaggerated no? I counted hundreds of carriages, and I had to remove twenty people, and the rest of the carriages still had a lot of grain and grass, and the rest of the carriages were so valuable?
Then I looked at the list carefully, and I realized that the carriage was filled with silver taels, all of which were gold bars and all kinds of high-priced jewelry, and there were also a few carts loaded with silver tickets printed by the Imperial Palace. I then believed that our huge convoy was probably extremely valuable, and when I looked at the carriages, I noticed that the carriages were divided into two categories, those with iron rods and three iron cables, which should be the most valuable things, and wooden boxes, and one iron rope was about ordinary utensils.
Even my carriage has been changed to a wide style drawn by three horses, and it is covered with several layers of soft covering, so that no bumps can be detected when sitting and lying down, and it is very comfortable.
For the time being, my little maid is still the most obedient to Yanyu's words, so Yanyu has been riding, walking slowly beside my carriage, and from time to time Yanyu will call me out when he sees the surrounding scenery, and let me taste it with him.
Since I had a quarrel with Lei Nian before leaving, Lei Nian's carriage has only followed me, and no one else has come to see me, if it weren't for Cao Kan riding a horse to escort his carriage, I suspect that Lei Nian may not know when he has returned to the Yeyou Palace by himself.
Although I didn't have to worry about food and clothing, I still asked Twilight Changyan to make me a budget for the rest of the journey, Twilight Changyan is a very cautious person, and his plan is so detailed that even a piece of firewood for burning must be clearly written. I reduced my eight dishes and one soup to two dishes and one soup, and Yan Yu was very displeased to hear it, so I quickly added four dishes and one soup to make him nod. I reduced the amount of food, so that Twilight Changyan went to two families to share the food every day, although Twilight Changyan also made food for these people, but I always felt that the journey was hard, if there was some subsidy, even if it was very little, the people who were subsidized should be able to be happier.
"Hu'er, isn't it the cart before the horse that you suffer so much that you don't want to be a brother? If you want to make the people with you eat better, you can add more dishes to each family, why bother to save it from your own mouth? ”
Yan Yu is still a little puzzled, he will talk to me if he has something to say, I still appreciate it, such a direct conversation is more comfortable than hiding it.
So I replied with a smile: "Brother Yan, the food set by the national teacher for the people can also ensure that the people can eat to their stomachs, I don't need to add food to them to increase our expenses, after all, it will take a long time." ”
"Then you want to save your own food?"
"Brother Yan, I know you're good for me, but can the two of us eat eight dishes and one soup at the same table? What you can't eat is not a waste. Rather than this, it is better to give more rewards, first, to eliminate waste, and secondly, the people are not only tired from the journey, but also really boring and have nothing to be happy about. ”
"So that's what you're thinking." Yanyu glanced at me with a smile, "You didn't mean to be gracious, you want the people to remember your kindness." ”
"Brother Yan, the second article I said seems to have the same meaning as what you said~"
"No, it's not." Yan Yu smiled again: "What I'm talking about is that you are planning for the purpose of winning people's hearts, and what you said is your plan for the sake of the people's experience." In fact, my brother knows your thoughts, and I just want to ask you if I have a heart. ”
Ha, haha, it turned out to be a confidant's heart-to-heart conversation, I laughed dryly: "Then I didn't disappoint Brother Yan, right?" ”
"Naturally not, but because my brother knows this, he still wants to ask, it's really ridiculous, isn't Hu'er angry?"
I suddenly lay down in the soft bed, "Brother Yan, when we talk, even if we have different ideas, we can compete for a fight, so I won't be angry, not to mention that we already want to go together." Don't always be afraid that I will be angry in the future, I am very broad-hearted, not easy to get angry, and not easy to hold grudges. ”
"Hu'er is broad-minded, and he should learn more from you for his brother."
"Brother Yan, if you hold me again, I will float up to the sky like a cloud in the sky and I can't find who I am~"
I didn't have a word to talk to Yanyu, and when I was sleepy, I fell asleep.
Now with the help of Yanyu, I not only sleep in the carriage a lot more comfortably, but also feel extra safe, just waiting all the way to face Xuancang, cross the border, and the spring flowers can bloom. Well, of course, what is the situation in Xuan Cang, you still have to cross the border to take a look.
Qiao Yun and Yu Xianting, as the right-hand men of Twilight Changyan, have been organizing all kinds of expenses together with Twilight Changyan since they received the Yan family's materials and horses. I always listen to it with Yanyu, and Yanyu never has any doubts, and I also feel that it can still reassure me that there is Twilight Changyan leading them to do it.
However, after the official name change plan I made before was approved by Du Changyan, Qiao Yun, and Yu Xianting, the headache came - no one was available!
Twilight Changyan first proposed to me that the Guanglu Temple, which was in charge of the diet, the Dali Temple, which was in charge of the prison, the Sinong Temple, which was in charge of farming, and the military department in charge of the war, were all the most important, but they were all vacant.
Guanglu Temple is good to say, this palace is a big deal to set up small kitchens in each palace and courtyard to open a small stove and get by, but the lack of prison will make the law wasted, ignoring the farming people It is difficult to eat and wear, as for the military department, to be honest, even if I ascend the throne in Xuancang, I will not consider preparing for a combat army in a short time, and only give priority to solving the security problems everywhere.
"Your Majesty, this military attache is elected, leading the troops to town the country is the foundation, and there is no country without soldiers!" The twilight smoke is whining again.
I didn't make my own judgment after considering various circumstances, so I explained: "Brother Changyan, our Xuancang is now in ruins, even if the Yan family is rich and rivals the country, you and I know how terrifying the consumption of raising troops is. We have limited reserves, and you should know that if you grow your army, you will have to be lazy in other areas. ”
"But Your Majesty, if there are no soldiers to guard it, won't I, Xuancang, be slaughtered by others?"
"Even if we run out of reserves now and start building up an army, will we be able to grow our forces strong enough to compete with Night Shadow within three or five years?"
Twilight shook her head with a heavy expression.
