Chapter 190: Witty Husband

Xia Qian pondered all night, and ran back to the general the next day, looking for the housekeeper to get all the silver taels that Huo Feng had left her.

"Young lady, except for the 500,000 taels that you spent secretly buying grain and grass a few days ago, are you sure you want to take all the remaining 500,000 taels of silver tickets?" The butler asked, puzzled.

"Yes, your young master is fighting outside, I have to do more good deeds, and other blessings are right. It has rained for two months, the river has flooded four times, and now there are more and more refugees, and I plan to donate this silver! Xia Qian replied firmly.

The butler looked at her in disbelief, although a hundred disagreed, she was now the only master here, and she couldn't do it without calling out the silver ticket.

On the second floor of the teahouse, there are several vendors who are friends of Rong Ming, and I heard Lin Qianxue say that these people have business all over the world, and their business is big and strong. Yu Ming also said that it is absolutely reliable to ask them for help in business matters.

Xia Qian invited all these people to the third floor and told them all her thoughts about secretly buying grain and grass. Although several people thought it was incredible, they all expressed their willingness to help, and looked at the face of Rong Ming to supply food according to the price before the flood.

is also more than a year's worth of grain and grass, and the cost of summer coriander is half of that of the python. After the grain and grass were ready, in order to hide people's eyes, she bought all the remaining silver for food and donated it to the affected people along the two banks of the river. He also took a lot of silver taels from the teahouse and supplied Fahua Temple to make incense money.

Everything is in place, only the people who transport the grain and grass are needed.

Four days later, the King of Heaven arrived as promised.

Xia Qian went straight to the point and asked Kuo Tianchen to escort the grain and grass, and the king personally selected someone to escort him.

King Optimus sneered and said sarcastically, "Aren't you afraid of a catastrophe for a man to betray Kang Guo?" ”

"If the little prince is given a chance to turn over, the prince will definitely not think so."

"Do you think that if Chen'er escorts the grain and grass, Nankang will not start? If this king really had such a big face, that horse of grain and grass would not be on fire! ”

Xia Qian smiled and added a cup of tea for him, and said frankly: "The emperor is angry about the matter of grain and grass, and has ordered a strict investigation. If the little prince doesn't have a chance to make meritorious contributions, let alone his life, I'm afraid that your entire Qingtian Palace, in the eyes of the emperor, will be against him! The king of Yi is suspicious, and the prince should know his dissatisfaction with you. I heard that the prince has been sleeping peacefully today, could it be that he is waiting for Nankang to come in and save you from fire and water? ”

"Nonsense, rebellion, this king has never thought of it! Now that the situation is unclear, Nankang is being attacked by Simon and Zhongyi, and it is difficult to say whether he can survive this pass, how can this king pin his hopes on King Kang? ”

"In this way, Kang Guo is unreliable, but if you have to rely on Zhongyi, the prince's situation will be even more difficult! The treasury rummaged through the top to find out so much silver, and the little prince turned it all into ashes without paying attention, and asked you to prepare grain and grass, and you didn't make any movement for five days, and the emperor was already extremely disappointed in you. The grain and grass sent by the General's Mansion are estimated to have an accident if they can't even reach Wancheng. In the entire Yi country, the little prince who hated Huo Zun to the bone should be the first, not to mention, his previous embezzlement of military salaries was known to everyone in the entire Yi country! ”

King Qing Tian stared at her angrily for a long time, and when he turned around to leave, Xia Qian threw out his chips, said that the other party's eyes were green, and he quickly sat down in front of the tea table.

"This batch of grain and grass is from your Qingtian King's Mansion, and letting the little prince personally escort it is a good opportunity for him to atone for his crimes, and it is also a good opportunity for your Qingtian King's Mansion to make a comeback."

The other party looked at her with a look of disbelief and asked, "You have done so much, and all the benefits have been taken by my Heavenly King's Mansion, don't you feel that it is a loss?" ”

"If I have the ability to send it to southern Xinjiang, I will naturally not let you get this cheap, even if you cooperate, of course, everyone will take what they need. You escorted the grain and grass, and the credit for sending it to the Heavenly King's Mansion is all your Qingtian Palace, all I want is Huo Zun and the soldiers he brought to spend this catastrophe in peace. ”

"The silver is from my Heavenly King's Mansion, and the grain and grass are escorted by my Heavenly King's Mansion, and what method is used is my own business, and the whole thing has nothing to do with you!" Optimus repeated it earnestly.

Xia Qian looked at it firmly and emphasized: "As long as the grain and grass are delivered to Huo Zun, all the credit belongs to your Heavenly King's Mansion!" As for how the money came from, how the grain and grass were sent, and how Nankang should be stabilized, you must have a way, don't you? ”

Optimus King's eyes lit up, and he turned to leave after drinking the tea in his hand.

Seven days later, the python ran over and said that when the grain and grass sent by the general's palace were more than 200 miles away from Wancheng, they were snatched up by the exiled people. Although it was military rations, there were too many people, and the hundreds of government soldiers who delivered the grain couldn't resist it at all, crying and watching the grain being swept away.

Xia Qian listened quietly, silently calculating in her heart where the grain and grass she sent out should go now.

"Young lady, you have to find a way to prepare another batch of grain and grass! The housekeeper said, there are still 500,000 taels of silver left by the general, all of which are in your hands, so hurry up and take them out for emergency relief!"

"The silver has been spent!" She looked at the python and said with a serious face.

Fan Python cried out of tears in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "This is the young master's life-saving silver, a full 500,000 taels, and you will spend it in just a few days!"

It happened that Qingyue came over for this matter, and for some reason, she said ruthlessly to him who was reckless in his words and deeds.

Xia Qian turned around and asked Qingyue to show Fan Python the account book of the expenses for the relief of the victims, and the price of grain on the account book was all calculated according to the current market price, which had exceeded 500,000 taels of silver.

"In order for the young master to return safely, the young lady took a lot of silver from the teahouse to supply Fahua Temple, all in this book." Qingyue said as she handed another ledger to the python.

Fan Python looked at the two account books, his eyes were red with anger, and he reprimanded angrily: "Losers, let's see how the young master and the master come back to clean you up!" ”

"Presumptuous, after you escorted the people of grain and grass out of the city, the young lady used the remaining silver to save the disaster, if it weren't for your incompetence in sending grain and grass, how could such a thing happen? Why did the young lady rescue the disaster, why did she take so much silver from the teahouse and send it to Fahua Temple, not begging for the blessing of the heavens, let your young master return safely, and let you escort grain and grass to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible! Yu Nuan came down from the second floor and said indignantly.

This girl has always laughed a lot and talked little, she can afford to do things generously, and after getting along for a year, Xia Qian is the first time to see her angry. Seeing her clear thinking and straightforward appearance, I couldn't help but secretly admire.

Coincidentally, Lin Qianxue was also in the teahouse, and when she heard the voices of several people, she came over and mocked the python with ridicule.

To the last group of women, the python was a kind heart, but he touched the gray face, didn't say a word angrily, stood in the teahouse with a red face for an afternoon, and finally walked away in a gray manner.

Looking at the back of his indignant departure, Xia Qian knew that he couldn't wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Disaster relief and prayer, at least it's all for his good, I hope that in Huo Zun's heart, I'm just a loser!" She said to herself.
