Zhao Cheng'an chuckled in his heart, they were just slightly better than the Zhenbei Army, couldn't it be that the grain that Brother Chu sold to the King of Zhenbei was cheaper?

Because there was no military salary for half a year, their Zhao family not only took out all the stored grain, but also emptied all the family funds to buy fabrics at high prices to make clothes.

There are 500,000 of them, and they not only have to eat but also wear clothes every day! If it could be a little cheaper, it would be a little.

"We're really poor, very poor." Zhao Chengan once again loudly emphasized that he was poor.

For fear that if he said slowly, Brother Chu would slaughter him, he looked at Brother Chu and his wife dressed up, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a tragic exile.

There are also exiled prisoners on Zhao Chengan's western border, all of whom are being squeezed by the officials of the county government to do hard work, and they don't know how miserable it is!

There are young and strong people like Chu Lixuan, who were selected by their Zhenxi Army to enter the barracks and do the hardest work, and women were the lowest soldiers in the barracks......

Chu Lixuan looked at Zhao Chengan for a long time, and Chu Lixuan was very clear about his inner thoughts.

He is not in a hurry to express his position, silver, Zhao Chengan does not have it, but they have it in Dingxi Hou Mansion!

Chu Lixuan thought that his daughter-in-law liked silver, so he would sell it to Zhao Chengan at the market price, and he also wanted to sell it to the king of Zhenbei at the market price.

It's a pity that the king of Zhenbei is too poor, and the palace in his capital can't transfer silver, and the family of the king of Zhenbei is the emperor's family.

The relationship between the emperor's relatives and the king of Zhenbei is average, and no one will lend him silver, not to mention that Emperor Dongchen is even poorer.

"Brother Chu, you tell me a price! As long as it is reasonable, we will all have the food you produce. Zhao Chengan still wants to negotiate the price first.

He is a character who promises a lot of money, he can buy as much grain as he wants, he said he wants it, but he thinks that Chu Lixuan doesn't have much food for them!

"Wow! All of them? Oh, my God! General Zhao still said that he was very poor? Is this the rhythm of poverty? Jiang Xinyan's small mouth opened wide in surprise.

Zhao Chengan sighed, mother! Lao Tzu said the wrong thing again, he is also a very flexible person, and he immediately remedies.

He asked even more exaggeratedly: "Mrs. Chu, do you have a lot of food?" I thought you were only a few hundred thousand catties at most! ”

Jiang Xinyan patted her chest: "......" It turns out that General Zhao thinks so! No wonder the honorific titles are all spoken.

"Hundreds of thousands of catties? How could General Zhao think that? 500,000 catties is not enough for you to eat in the military camp for a day, right? ”

"We are saving grain now, 500,000 catties are enough for a day's food, and when our potatoes are not ripe, 200,000 catties of grain will be eaten for a day."

"Oops! I'm a mother! Your soldiers are so pitiful? When we sold grain to the king of Zhenbei, we sold them two months' worth of grain at a time according to the ration of half a catty of potatoes and half a catty of pork for one meal. ”

Zhao Chengan and the lieutenant generals: "......" That's a lot of silver! The king of Zhenbei deserves to be the king of Zhenbei, what a hero! Rich!

"Didn't the king of Zhenbei suffer a defeat a few years ago? Do they have time to pack up their belongings in their hurry? Zhao Chengan was surprised.

Jiang Xinyan: "That's it...... No wonder, the king of Zhenbei is poor and white, there is no copper plate, we have been selling grain to the king of Zhenbei since the New Year, and we have not received a child! ”

"What? He was penniless, he didn't receive a copper plate, Zhennanhou, you actually sent him five months' rations for nothing? A lieutenant couldn't help but exclaim.

"Who says we gave it away in vain? I used to write an IOU, but now I have paid it off, and I don't owe each other. Jiang Xinyan deliberately teased them.

This is indeed a fact, the king of Zhenbei does not owe them silver now, and I don't know if he will owe it in the future, haha~

Zhao Chengan and the deputy generals: "......" paid off? Could it be that the emperor gave the silver? How did they hear that the emperor also asked the king of Zhenbei to collect hundreds of thousands of stone grain!

"Where did the king of Zhenbei get the money? Does Brother Chu know? Zhao Chengan asked worriedly, he wanted to know too much.

The emperor can't favor one over the other! Everyone is struggling to guard the border, why do our Zhenxi Army rely on their own families to support it!

"Silver? The king of Zhenbei has no silver! Last time, he squeezed hundreds of thousands of stone grain from His Majesty the Emperor! Alas! The king of Zhenbei is also a poor lord! ”

"If he has no money, what will he do to pay his debts? Could it be that Brother Chu gave it to them for nothing? "Zhao Cheng's heart is balanced, as long as the saint does not give the king of Zhenbei privately.

"Cut! Our husband and wife are not charities, so naturally they will not be given away in vain, and the king of Zhenbei sold ten counties in Youzhou Mansion to us and his wife.

However, it was not enough, because their Zhenbei army had to eat every day! Therefore, they also sold us more than 100,000 hectares of forests in Daling Mountain.

When it was almost paid off, the king of Zhenbei borrowed it again, and there was no land to sell, so he sold 20,000 disabled soldiers to us to farm.

The king of Zhenbei has surplus food, and they haven't had time to be happy, the so-called happiness and sorrow are talking about the king of Zhenbei!

Pity! The grain exchanged by the king of Zhenbei was confiscated by the emperor Lao'er, and when their Zhenbei army was about to drink the northwest wind again.

The North Vietnamese army also took advantage of the weakness, and our husband and wife were afraid that they would be hungry and would not have the strength to fight against the North Vietnamese army, so we sent them food for another two months.

The king of Zhenbei was also a strong man, and he was unwilling to incur debts, saying that he was debt-free and light, so he put the disabled soldiers who fought them against North Vietnam.

The wounded, missing arms and legs, and the injured and unable to move more than 10,000 disabled soldiers sent to our husband and wife to pay off their debts. ”

Jiang Xinyan said lightly, her voice was crisp and pleasant, and she was beautiful, and the people in the hall were drunk when they heard it, and they were more shocked.

Zhao Chengan and the lieutenant generals were stunned! Every mouth is open enough to stuff an egg, can King Zhenbei be so shameless?

"It's... This... Shape... Only... Just pay it off? After a long time, Zhao Chengan stammered.

Chu Lixuan looked at Zhao Chengan, an old fox, and followed his daughter-in-law to fight wits and courage, originally he thought that as long as she was happy, nothing else would matter.

Unexpectedly, the old fox and the others would be teased and shocked, Chu Lixuan looked at the little wife dotingly, his eyes were gentle and affectionate.

He held her small hand tightly with his big hand, and everyone else was shocked, and no one saw Chu Lixuan's small movements.

"Whew! What can we do? The king of Zhenbei wants to buy and sell strongly, we can only passively accept it!

Therefore, my husband and wife have a lot of food, and we have reclaimed 100,000 hectares of wasteland in the Daxue Mountains to grow potatoes.

My husband and wife worked day and night with the exiles and disabled soldiers, because we had no experience in farming.

The yield of potatoes per mu in wasteland is only about 3,000 catties, and the yield per mu of the best black soil is less than 6,000! Ay! ”

"What? Your worst wasteland, with a yield of 3,000 catties per mu? "Our yield per mu is less than 1,000 catties! It's still the best land!
