Chapter 443: Longxi borrows grain
Four days later, on the twentieth day of the first month.
Lin Zhizhi and Lin Jiaruo each received a letter.
The letter was brought by the same person from the same place.
Lin Zhizhi's letter was very short, and after he read it, he raised his head and looked at Lin Jiaruo, who was still reading the letter slowly.
She read very slowly, and after reading many places once, she read them again from beginning to end, but the more she looked, the more anxious her eyes became.
Finally, when she finished reading, her gaze lingered for a moment at the end of the letter, and she slowly raised her head and looked at him for a moment, her face showing dazedness and pleading.
"It's Yan Huai's letter!" He opened his mouth first, "The spring snow in Longxi became a disaster, and more than ninety percent of the spring seedlings froze to death, and he borrowed 150,000 stones of grain from Jiangnan in the name of the Yan family, on behalf of Longyou and Guannei!" β
He stopped, Lin Jiaruo didn't speak, and continued to look at him.
She knew that Yan Huai's letter must be more than that, and borrowing things was conditional.
His voice lowered, and he said slowly: "Longxi Liangdao, the grace of eternal life, where there is a need, but by sending!" He paused again and said, "Ah Ruo, this letter is for Xiao Liang's ......."
Lin Jiaruo stared at the letter in his hand, his eyes changed and changed, and finally withdrew the letter in his hand.
"My mother said that Yan Huai sent a letter to Guanzhong and Jiangnan at the same time to borrow grainββ"
"Yan Huai didn't mean to embarrass us, but they also knew the grain in Guanzhong, not to mention the disaster in Guannei, Hedong, Hebei, and Shannan would not be better, and this trip to the capital, even if my father agreed to borrow grain, Guanzhong has no grain to borrow, and it is still necessary to transfer grain from Jiangnan!"
"If the matter of borrowing grain is discussed in the DPRK and China, it will be delayed for a while, and the holy decree will be sent down to the south of the Yangtze River to transfer grain, and after several turnovers, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up with this year's spring ploughingββ"
She looked up at him, her eyes complicated.
So she hopes that Jiangnan can secretly transfer grain to the north first to relieve her eyebrows; In the future, when the decree comes down, it will be covered again! β
However, they all know that to transfer grain from Jiangnan to Chang'an, at least they have to pass through a Shannan East Road, and this secret grain transfer is so dangerous!
Transferring grain to Longxi without a holy decree, as long as it is discovered, it is an ironclad rebellion.
"What if the decree does not come down in the future?" He asked slowly.
Lin Jiaruo bit her lip, her eyes were slightly wet, and she said in a cold and hard tone: "It will definitely go down!" My dad will definitely order the rations! β
The letter said that if there is no holy decree in the future, it will be difficult to cover up the matter of grain transfer, so let him raise the Xiao flag and stand on his own!
ββ¦β¦ At that time, the Yan clan can support Xiao Liang as the emperor with 400,000 Yan troops, and with the Yan clan as the backing, my son will definitely be able to firmly occupy the rear position......"
But how could she? How could she abandon her father? How can he betray him with others?
"He is not an emperor who disregards human life, Longxi and us have long stopped fighting, my father will definitely agree to borrow grain, and the holy decree of grain transfer will definitely arrive soon!"
She clenched her fists and looked at him tightly, her eyes blazing.
He gently held her hands and said softly: "Yes, I also believe that Your Majesty will definitely issue an order to adjust food, don't be afraid, Ah Ruo don't be afraid...... I'm not going to - I'm not going to stand on my own! β
Hearing the last sentence, Lin Jiaruo couldn't control his tears, immediately grabbed his sleeve and wiped his eyes, and complained coquettishly: "It's all you, I didn't cry casually before!" β
It seems that after being around him for a long time, people have become squeamish.
He said softly, "Yes, it's me who is not good ......"
Lin Jiaruo buried his face in his chest with some embarrassment, and asked softly, "Then what are you going to do?" β
"Three days ago, I already had people mobilize grain from all over the country!" He said softly, "Last winter, there was a loss of granaries in various places, and if you want to borrow it, you need to concentrate the remaining grain in various places!" β
"And then?" Lin Jiaruo asked.
It turned out that he had already decided that the grain must be borrowed, but how to borrow it?
"I plan to let Wei Changhuai take him north, I just said that I was taking it to Daizhou, walk slower on the road, and wait for the holy decree, so that people can catch up with Wei Changhuai with the holy decree and turn to Chang'an!"
Lin Jiaruo's little face lit up, and he threw himself into his arms, shouting happily: "Big brother, you are so amazing!" β
The matter of borrowing grain, from Yan Huai, Xu Yaoning to her, thought it was a dead knot, but he didn't expect that he would already have a perfect plan.
And the premise of his countermeasures is also out of trust in the Great Zhou Tianzi; If there is no holy decree to adjust food, where should Wei Changhuai go?
She hugged him tightly and whispered, "Big brother, Daddy won't let us down!" β
Three days later, the decree came.
This is the holy decree of grain transfer, however, after listening to the decree, Lin Jiaruo's first reaction was not joy, nor relief, but dazed.
Things don't seem to be what they imagined, so can his previous plan continue?
Lin Zhizhi only pondered for a moment, and then quickly ordered: "Immediately send someone to bring this holy decree to catch up with Wei Duwei and send 150,000 stone grains to the capital!" Leave 100,000, and the remaining 50,000 will continue to be escorted to Daizhou! β
Before he finished speaking, Lin Jiaruo couldn't wait to ask, "What about Longxi?" β
Lin Zhizhi looked down at the two holy decrees in his hands - these were the holy decrees of grain transfer, but not one, but two.
One is to transfer 100,000 stone of grain to the capital, and the other is to transfer 150,000 stone of grain to Chang'an.
It turned out that Guanzhong was not unscathed, after all, Feng Wentong's warning time was too urgent, and some places far away from the capital suffered a spring snow disaster before they had time to get the warning.
But these 150,000 stone grains were transported to the capital, and the affected Longxi was not the only dead end?
He confessed one of the decrees and smiled at her soothingly, "Don't worry, I have my own ideas!" β
"Huangzhou!"
When he returned to Jiqiu Courtyard, Lin Jiaruo had already thought of his idea.
There were only 200,000 stones left in the Jiangnan grain stock he mobilized, and Wei Changhuai took away 150,000 stones, and the rest was not enough to support Longxi.
But fortunately, they still have 200,000 stone of grain in Huangzhou!
Last autumn, Jiangnan was also a bumper year, and the 200,000 stone grain in Huangzhou had just been replaced with new grain and sent to Longxi for grain planting, which was very suitable!
He nodded and said, "Yes!" The food is sufficient, but the 200,000 stone grain is not on the surface, and it still needs to be a name. β
Lin Jiaruo's eyebrows frowned, instantly let go, and said with a smile: "I have an idea!" β
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please speak!" β
"In the battle of Maguan back then, the Guanzhong army was short of food, and it was the Shen family's generosity-" She grinned, "It's impossible to borrow grain, but our grain merchants in Jiangnan have grain, let Yan Huai buy it with silver!" β
He smiled and commanded loudly: "Come on, please Lin'an Hou Shizi quickly!" β
Lin'an Hou Shizi, Lan Zize, the younger brother of Xiangguo's wife Lan Zijun. (https:)
