Chapter 425: Preparing the Granary
"Without cooperation, the business of the Silk Pavilion will be as stable as it is now, I recently opened a grain store, and I am busy with the new store." Lin Wan'er will not hide it from her, let her know, and say that there may be places that need her help in the future.
"Grain shop?" Yining blinked and came to his senses directly: "What do you do in the grain shop?" Do you want to change careers? ”
Lin Wan'er sighed lightly, thinking that not too many people should know the details of this matter, and Yi Ning also knew that it was probably enough, so she didn't say much, Yin Ning looked at her mysteriously, and she was curious, but she didn't ask again.
Concubine Zhao has also been paying attention to Lin Wan'er's activities, in the end, it is her own daughter-in-law, after knowing her actions, she handed people over to the palace and asked her about her intention to buy the grain shop, Lin Wan'er was no longer nervous in the face of her this time, and she also had confidence in her heart after being recognized, and she became shrewd and calm when she met for the first time, Concubine Zhao was her own person, and she told her original intention truthfully.
"In fact, I bought this grain shop, I was preparing for the front-line war, and in the middle of the free months, the Huns must have prepared the materials, but on the Central Plains side, the procedures for requesting the delivery of materials are complicated and slow, I am afraid that the support of the imperial court will not be timely, and I will temporarily reserve enough grain and grass to help better."
A surprise appeared on Concubine Zhao's face, and she smiled and said, "Where do you need to worry about these things, how much have you prepared now?" ”
Lin Wan'er said that some of the materials that have been prepared now, in addition to grain and grass, clothes and wound medicine, etc., and even the warehouse has prepared several.
"Thank you for your hard work." Concubine Zhao thought of the contradiction between Fang Yunxiao and the emperor, and sighed helplessly, although she said on the surface that she didn't have to worry, but after Lin Wan'er left, she still sent someone to help her prepare together.
The granary was built quickly, according to Lin Wan'er's request, there was also a basement, Lin Wan'er took the time to go over and check it, when she purchased grain, she chose the kind of good quality, even if it was left for another three or five years, it would be no problem.
Lin Wan'er stood in place with her chin in her hand and thought for a moment, and after going out, she found someone to find her subordinates, took out a land deed and ordered: "The basement will be full soon, you take a few people to send some of the grain to this place for preservation, be careful not to be too conspicuous." ”
It was a very remote manor under Fang Yunxiao's name, which was originally used to provide shelter for the homeless soldiers who had returned to the field, and it was used to store just the right amount of food, which would not be stolen and no one would suspect it.
The subordinates went with the things, Lin Wan'er also came to the manor after leaving, and after the subordinates put all the food away, her figure flashed to the side of those boxes, and transferred all the food to the space, leaving only a bunch of boxes to confuse the vision.
Whether the battle report of the frontier was transmitted back to the capital, the emperor's mind was also very complicated, looking at the praise of the other party Yunxiao and the soldiers, his heart became more and more jealous, although he already had half of the tiger talisman in his hand, but Fang Yunxiao could not rest assured that he would not die.
He didn't know once, if Fang Yunxiao could just die on the battlefield, he wouldn't have to go to great lengths to think of a way to get rid of him, otherwise after the war was over, he would have no reason to deal with Fang Yunxiao, and then he would have to wait for three or five years, for such a long time, how could he guarantee that that person would not have Yixin.
It's just that the war is not over yet, he still needs Fang Yunxiao to sit on the front line for him, even if he wants to solve the eyesore, he has to wait to completely defeat the Huns, if Fang Yunxiao happens to have an accident in the last battle, all this will be perfect.
Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge made him understand it, and he didn't feel empty at all.
The Huns have been dormant for so long, and their strength should not be underestimated, although they failed last time, they did not hurt the fundamentals, they were able to make a comeback after a few months of cultivation, and they fought against Fang Yunxiao again, they learned a lesson, and they also came up with a lot of ways to deal with it, and the two sides fought back and forth.
Time passed slowly, the weather was getting colder and colder, the soldiers needed food, grass and winter clothes to protect themselves from the cold, the weather in the frontier was unstable, the climate was changing extremely fast, Fang Yunxiao also needed to prepare early, and wrote back the materials he needed at present.
Seeing the above content, the emperor frowned and began to think, it was indeed almost the middle of winter, but he didn't want to meet Fang Yunxiao's conditions so easily, this time was a good opportunity to weaken his prestige.
"You say, if the supplies can't arrive for a long time, will the soldiers below think that he, the commander, is incompetent?" The emperor asked the big eunuchs around him, they also felt the coolness of the autumn breeze in the capital, and they could use this to rub his sharpness: "Let the soldiers think that he won't think about everyone, and when they can't hold on, we will send things over." ”
The big eunuch beside him didn't dare to say anything except nodding in agreement, the emperor sat in this position, no matter what step he took, it was full of calculations, and even the safety of millions of soldiers at the border pass was a chess piece used to trip Fang Yunxiao in his eyes.
The arrangements for the border soldiers to spend the winter have been decided for the time being, and the emperor has made up his mind this time, and he will definitely not let Fang Yunxiao continue to come back with glory like this time.
This time, with the help of winter clothes, he not only wanted to weaken Fang Yunxiao's prestige in the army, but also when his prestige was almost reduced, he would insert his own people into it, and when the war was over, Fang Yunxiao's official position would also be removed.
In order to stabilize his position, the emperor pressed Fang Yunxiao's letter to the bottom, even if the frontier was fighting against the Xiongnu, the first consideration in his heart was always his own power and interests.
This time, the letter was sent directly to the emperor, and even the ministers of the court did not know the situation, so Fang Yunxiao did not hear back after waiting for a long time, and no one in the court mentioned it to him, so this matter has been dragged on.
Fang Yunxiao didn't think about urging him, but the emperor's temperament might still use this to talk about things, so he could only pray that the emperor could let go of the mustard in his heart at this time.
The war on the frontier is half of the wins and losses, generally speaking, it is not bad, Lin Wan'er's grain purchase is also in full swing, she specially opened up a space in the space to store the grain, of course, the grain shop and the manor also put some for making a show, the granary can't always put nothing, so it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, several children also put on beautiful cotton clothes and discussed whether it would snow in the capital in a few years.
