Chapter 358: He's going to do a big thing
Chu Yechen really couldn't imagine that Yang Qiaoyue and the others, or that she alone, could make the Warat army not attack Great Chu.
He couldn't find a hint of joking on her face, and it was impossible for Yang Qiaoyue to joke about this kind of thing.
Yang Qiaoyue didn't mean to explain much, "Don't you believe in me more than I do?" ”
Chu Yechen's frowning brows were difficult to stretch for a long time, he believed it, but he didn't want Yang Qiaoyue to take risks.
The three of them, no matter how strong Yang Muyi's martial arts were, it was impossible for her to get out of the Wara army safely, and she died before she even got close to the Wara army.
Yang Qiaoyue saw that he was silent, and said lightly: "In addition to this method, is there a better way for the imperial court?" If so, you wouldn't have asked me to come back, and since you can trust me, I promise you that I will come back alive. ”
Chu Yechen rarely saw her express in such a pleading tone, and sighed, "Okay! I'll persuade the court to do it tomorrow!" You have to remember your promise to me! ”
Yang Qiaoyue smiled, she knew that he would agree, this was the only foolproof solution she could think of.
This matter requires an order from the imperial court, and Chu Yechen immediately entered the palace.
Yang Qiaoyue then wrote a letter, waiting for Chu Yechen to bring the order, and arranged for the messenger to send it to Mushan Pass in the afternoon, so that the fifth brother could rush to Suzhou Wei alone to wait for her after receiving the letter.
Chu Yechen watched the letter be sent, knowing that there was no turning back from this method, and he had to go on like this.
Yang Qiaoyue saw that he was stunned, knew what he was thinking, and interrupted him: "Lord Wang, we are going to the household department, and we need to determine the grain, grass and military salaries that can be deployed immediately." ”
Chu Yechen came back to his senses: "Okay, let's go over together, and now Liu Shilang is temporarily acting as the secretary of the household department." ”
The two then left Miyuki Minamiso and came to Tobe. Liu Xiaming was working hard, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his head. In the war, the household department bore the brunt, and the imperial court had already issued a decree to let him raise military food and salaries.
"Liu Shangshu!"
"Who! I didn't see this official ...... Busy. Liu Xiaming was having no place to spread the fire in his belly, and when he looked up and saw that it was Chu Yechen, he hurriedly changed his words, "Lord Wang? I'm sorry, Xia Guan really didn't know that it was the prince, so he was open-mouthed, offended the prince, and asked the prince to forgive him. ”
Chu Yechen didn't care: "Lord Liu doesn't have to apologize, the war broke out suddenly, presumably the household department is the busiest, and it's hard work." ”
"The prince is serious, and he will definitely do his best to cooperate." Liu Xiaming breathed a sigh of relief and noticed Yang Qiaoyue behind Chu Yechen, "Xiaoyue is also here." ”
"I've seen Lady Liu!" Yang Qiaoyue saluted.
Liu Xiaming nodded, Chu Yechen was still there, so he didn't want to gossip much, so he turned around and asked, "Why did the prince come to find the lower official?" ”
Chu Yechen told him the intention of the two of them, wanting to see how the household statistics were going in the past few days, and how much grain, grass and military pay could be allocated at the moment.
"At present, all the granaries around the Jingshi Mansion can be used for 2 million stones, and the national granaries are 8 million stones." Liu Xiaming replied.
Chu Yechen immediately frowned, Liaodong and Guanshanwei are both bitter cold places on the border, the surrounding cities are in short supply of food, and the supply of the border city army is already stretched, I am afraid that all the grain and grass of the 300,000 army will have to be transported from the Central Plains, and to supply the army of 300,000 people, it will take 200,000 stone a month, and 2 million stone is only ten months reserve, not counting the consumption of 200,000 people who transport grain and grass.
In this way, two million stones are afraid that they can only be able to provide grain and grass for half a year, and they must ensure that there are no problems on the way. At least we must ensure that there are four million stone of grain stored in the granary, otherwise in the event of any natural disaster that needs to be opened to release grain, the imperial court will have no grain available.
Yang Qiaoyue couldn't help frowning when she heard this amount, she had reminded Liu Xiaming some time ago and asked him to try his best to replenish grain and grass.
Liu Xiaming saw Yang Qiaoyue's serious expression, and took the initiative to mention: "Some time ago, Xiaoyue, you told me to collect grain, and I worked hard with Zhou Shangshu, so there were only two million stones, and before that there were only one million stones. He denied the grain collection in the field, and I really couldn't make progress. ”
At this time, it is useless to blame, there was no war before, and it is already very good to be able to have an extra million stones.
"What about military pay?" Chu Yechen's face was a little ugly, and he asked in a deep voice.
Liu Xiaming buried his head, "Back to the prince, the past few days are too short, and there is no new military salary, so I can only rely on the national treasury to allocate it." ”
The state treasury is only more than 2 million taels, and they all know that a soldier's salary is 18 taels a year in wartime, and it will be increased in wartime, 300,000 soldiers, which is 5.4 million taels a year, and the state treasury is only more than 2 million taels.
Chu Yechen was so angry that he slapped the table with all his strength, and the inkstone on the table overturned, and everyone was so frightened that they immediately knelt down and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Chu Yefeng has clearly calculated the treasury, grain and grass, and there is no way to support such a big war, and he even overestimated the imperial court!"
He knew that it was useless to be angry at this time, but the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed.
"Lord Wang." Yang Qiaoyue said softly, "Time is everything now, I have asked people in Danzhou, Suzhou, and Jingshi to collect grain before, and there should be 300,000 stones, all of which will be donated to the imperial court, and Nanzhuang will continue to collect grain before the war is over." ”
Chu Yechen and Liu Xiaming were shocked, they didn't expect that she had already taken precautions, and her hand was so big. Hundreds of thousands of stone grains and grass, in the entire Chu Dynasty, I am afraid that only Yang Qiaoyue can take it out and donate it without blinking an eye.
Chu Yechen had already calmed down, and Yang Qiaoyue made it clear to him that anger would not help, and let Liu Xiaming and them get up, and his anger was not against them.
"Lord Liu, now the Ministry of Household and Military Affairs is discussing the matter of preparing to transport grain and grass, 200,000 soldiers in Liaodong and 100,000 soldiers in Guanshanwei. There is no room for further mistakes in this matter, otherwise you will bear the consequences! Chu Yechen's expression was cold, and he resumed the strong style of the Night Jin Guard's cold Yama King.
Yang Qiaoyue has already given so much, he will definitely not allow any more mistakes.
Liu Xiaming didn't dare to make a mistake, and the righteousness of his family and country surged in his heart, "Please rest assured!" Even if the subordinate is tired to death, he will never let this matter go wrong. ”
Chu Yechen and Yang Qiaoyue left the household department, "Xiaoyue, I didn't expect you to do so much behind your back, as a royal son, thank you for the court and all the people of Great Chu!" ”
As a royal family and a man, he put aside all worldly views at this moment and bowed to Yang Qiaoyue to thank him.
Yang Qiaoyue avoided not being polite, and hurriedly helped him up: "There are no eggs under the nest, I am also a child of Dachu, my parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends are here." Why do you need to thank me, you are a man who stands up to the sky, you are the noble prince of Dachu, you can only bow down to the Son of Heaven, how can you bend down to me A little woman, you will be laughed at by the world, don't be reckless in doing this kind of thing in the future. ”
That being said, she was very touched and felt that everything she did was worth it.
Chu Yechen disagreed with her words, and said seriously: "I don't care what the world thinks, if they can do half like you, I will also bow down to them." ”
"Okay, you need to go to the palace, I also have to go home, and I need to talk to my family about it." Yang Qiaoyue's eyes were soft and she said softly.
Chu Yechen was worried that the Yang family would embarrass her, "Do you need me to come with you?" ”
"If you want to be hated by my family, go back with me, they hate you, and it will be difficult for you to get to the Yang family." Yang Qiaoyue smiled and pushed him in the direction of the imperial city, "Okay, you go, my family can understand me." ”
Chu Yechen thought that if he couldn't go to the door of Yang's house, then how could he marry Yang Qiaoyue, so he had to give up the idea of accompanying her back and go to the palace.
Yang Qiaoyue waited for him to go away before rushing back to Yang's house.
Yang Qiaoyue had just walked on her front foot, and Chu Yechen had just walked over from a distance, he had just turned around, and he wanted to watch her leave to feel at ease.
Looking at the back of his beloved girl, he was unclear in his heart, the two of them were unpredictable on this trip, although they promised each other to live, but no one knew how the war would go.
Looking at the figure that had already disappeared for a long time, Chu Yechen's eyes flickered, he decided to do a big thing before leaving, a big thing that the two of them would not regret even if they died on the battlefield. If you want to ask the emperor for marriage, whether Emperor Xuande agrees or not, he will marry Yang Qiaoyue, his only wife!
