Hurry up, on the way to the north of the county, Tan Xiaojian caught up with Zheng Ling.

He rode on his horse, tossed the silver nuggets in his hand, and smiled proudly,

"Zheng Ling, you see, I also want food, and I have won my sister-in-law's reward here."

Zheng Ling was a soldier under Tan Ji, and his temperament was much calmer than Tan Ji's, he swept the silver in Tan Xiaojian's hand while beating the horse, and sneered,

"Have you never seen silver or something? Isn't it just a piece of silver? Is it worth your tail cocked like this? ”

As soon as this battle started, the gold, silver and jewelry were seized one box after another, saying that the soldiers of the East and West Battalions had never seen silver, so even if they had never been on the battlefield at all, right?

Immature!

"I've seen a lot of silver, but we also went to ask for food, so I got a reward, Zheng Ling, didn't you think that this was your reason? You, admit it, you still have to learn more from me. ”

Tan Xiaojian carefully put the silver in his hand into his arms, beat the horsewhip, and ran to the front of Zheng Ling first, followed by a team of soldiers carrying boxes, and ran past Zheng Ling with a smile.

Tickle Zheng Lingqi's teeth.

That's right, I also went to ask for food, why did Tan Xiaojian's errand do it so well?

Reflect, reflect, must reflect!

He returned to Dongying angrily, and at a glance he met Tan Ji, who was lining up at the sand table.

Tan Ji raised his head, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and asked:

"Didn't borrow any food?"

"Sister-in-law borrowed it."

Zheng Ling gave up his hand, he was still angry in his heart, and he won the reward for Tan Xiaojian, but he didn't get the reward, he said it to Tan Ji again, and said:

"Erlang is too arrogant, I really can't wait to fight with him, why should my sister-in-law reward him or not? Reasoning, our Dongying is the closest ...... to my sister-in-law."

He was quick to speak, and he said what was in his heart, the key was that Tan Xiaojian's guy was too annoying, Zheng Ling didn't care about such a reward of silver at all, but now he thought, why?

In the future, my sister-in-law will marry the battalion commander of Dongying.

Tan Ji pursed his lips, looked at the young man in front of him, and still persuaded:

"Erlang has jumped out since he was a child, the person who talks about people when he sees people, and the person who talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, now he is a soldier under Ah Zhang, he is looser than me, and his natural temperament has been released a lot, it doesn't matter, I will talk to my aunt when I go back, I can't favor one over the other."

The East and West Camp is now completely out of the way for this matter, one regards himself as Sheng Jiaojiao's mother's family, and the other regards himself as Sheng Jiaojiao's mother-in-law's family, and often has to fight for such a trivial matter.

Sometimes Tan Ji is also quite helpless, it is a good thing that the sons have fighting spirit and blood, but it is not more than who kills more heads on the battlefield, but it is compared to such a small nature, Tan Ji can lead the troops, but he can't control the competitiveness of the sons.

What could he do? In addition to asking Sheng Jiaojiao not to favor one over the other and strive to make a bowl of water even, Tan Ji has no other better way......

At this end, in the loess village of Jumping Horse Lake behind the north of the county, after the people sent by the east and west camps to ask for food returned, Qi Erniang also came back from the set.

As soon as she entered the house, she entered Sheng Jiaojiao's room, and said urgently to Sheng Jiaojiao, who was reading crookedly:

"Jiaojiao'er, what should we do next? As soon as the north of the county asked for grain, the grain we hoarded in our hands was a small half. ”

Qi Erniang said, sitting on the collapse with her skirt lifted, looking at Sheng Jiaojiao's calm hibiscus face, she was worried.

Sheng Jiaojiao hoarded grain, originally used to lower the price of grain, so that cheap grain in the middle of winter is not a dream, she and Lu Shou a few merchants, day and night to collect grain, finally hoarded so much grain.

The east and west camps asked for food, Sheng Jiaojiao asked Qi Erniang to go out of the warehouse, but if she didn't leave the warehouse, she was gone, and as soon as she got out of the warehouse, Qi Erniang found that there was too much food to be consumed in the east and west camps.

All at once, a small half of the grain in the granary was gone.

If the East and West Battalions come here a few more times, the grain in Sheng Jiaojiao's hand will be empty.

is empty, and when the midwinter comes, Sheng Jiaojiao will have no food in her hands.

If you don't give it, you can't do it.

These are only two camps, not counting the south camp and the north camp.

In fact, there was no food in the south and north camps, and after winter, each camp was conscripted, and although the soldiers in the south and north camps did not go to the battlefield, they did not have enough food to eat.

Therefore, the east camp and the west camp should also give even grain to the south camp and the north camp.

It is equivalent to saying that now the military rations of the entire Jumping Horse Lake are supplied by Sheng Jiaojiao.

"Anyway, what are we afraid of?"

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was crooked on the collapse, turned a page of the book, took the time to glance at Qi Erniang opposite, and said with a smile:

"The second aunt was originally afraid that we would lose money on this vote, but now it seems that I am afraid that I will make too much money."

Originally, Sheng Jiaojiao asked Dongying and Xiying to borrow the money for grain, and for this reason, she also took care of the leather goods from Dongying and Xiying.

Some time ago, Qi Erniang didn't say anything on her face, but there was often a worry in her eyebrows, for fear that Sheng Jiaojiao would smash her game this time, and Jinshan and Yinshan would be smashed in this ticket.

Who knows, the peak turned around, and the money was borrowed from the east and west battalions, but the grain was taken back, and before it was warmed, the east and west camps had a dilemma of shortage of military rations.

This is not the left hand to the right hand, and it also made the Qi family earn a basket of money.

"I also know that some of them earn, but you count the days."

The second lady of Qi who collapsed pushed open the window behind her, pointed to the snow outside, and sighed:

"This snow has been going on for a long time, and the day when the grain will run out, don't you want to use the midwinter cheap grain to stabilize the rear of the east and west camps, and prevent the people here from rioting? In such a long winter, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen, the grain in the hands of the merchant is rising day by day, and the grain we hoard in our hands has been transferred to the barracks, my girl, your original intention of going around such a big circle is not just to make money for yourself, right? ”

The fact that these words can come out of the mouth of Qi Erniang proves that she really sees Sheng Jiaojiao's plan clearly, and she is really anxious about this calculation.

What did Sheng Jiaojiao borrow money for? The long winter in Zhishou County is just the beginning.

There is no food in hand, and as soon as the high-priced grain comes out of the market in the middle of winter, what will I take to flat?

At that time, the people will panic, Zhishou County will still be chaotic, and when hunger is everywhere, the subject country will take the opportunity to go south, Qi Zhang and Tan Ji will have internal and external troubles, how long can they last?

How long can the Qi family survive in such a troubled world?

"It's okay, I still have a second move."

Sheng Jiaojiao got up, poured tea for Qi Erniang, shook the teapot in her hand again, changed her words, and sighed:

"I'm really going to buy a few girls, the four guys don't do anything, and he can't do the job of serving tea and pouring water."

In winter, Qi Huan's things not only did not become less, but became more.

He had to sweep the snow in the yard every day, go to the water to dig ice, come back with ice cubes to melt water, practice sword writing, and serve tea and pour water......

Everyone in the family was busy, except for Mrs. Qi, everyone was arranged by Sheng Jiaojiao.

But no one dared to let Mrs. Qi do these trivial things, so she could only let the young Qi Hua do it.

If you don't add more people to your family, you will be stretched thin.

Seeing that Sheng Jiaojiao talked about the matter next to her again, Qi Erniang turned around angrily and stopped talking.

In this way, a large amount of grain has been transported to the north of the county by Qi Ming several times in succession, regardless of whether Qi Zhang and Tan Ji can produce food from the subject country, now the two military camps in Xiying and Dongying are not short of medicinal materials, and there is no shortage of food.

However, the grain mountain of Sheng Jiaojiao is decreasing little by little at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, news gradually came out of the military dormitory that this year's grain prices were going to rise to the sky.

Many of the merchants, who were hesitant and decided that the price of grain would not rise this year, smelled the business opportunity, and when they learned the news from the military liao, many merchants set off overnight to go out of Zhishou County to stock up on grain.

In addition to the three religions and nine streams in the military dormitory, there are also military masters in the military camp who often come and go.

Therefore, the information here is quite credible.

Some people say that there is not enough food in the barracks, and some people say that the barracks are in charge of distributing money, but they don't care about the food, so this year, not only the grain in the Jumping Horse Lake will rise to sky-high prices, but the entire Zhishou County will not be spared.

The news has a nose and an eye, and each has a source, but any gossip with a source can always make people believe seven or eight points.

As a result, in Zhishou County, more and more people took the initiative to join the army.

Because of the sky-high price of grain, no one can afford it.

Sometimes it is one thing to protect the family and defend the country, but the midwinter is approaching, and the sons and daughters of Zhishou County, who have starved to death at this time of year, also want to avoid the risk of starvation for themselves and their families by joining the army.

Many people are aiming at the military system of Zhishou County, which stipulates that the sons and daughters of soldiers can not only get military salaries, but also get a bag of food every month to join the army.

If it is the middle of winter where a grain of rice cannot be found, such a bag of grain can be used for a family to survive a long cold day.

Contrary to rumors, there has been no shortage of food in the barracks, and even compared with previous years when there was no war, the food in the barracks was faintly rich.

Every meal can make the sons and daughters who work the side eat until their stomachs are supported!

This further stimulated the sons and daughters of Zhishou County to go to the front line to join the army, and many sons and daughters who were not jumping horse lakes were running to the front line.

The sparks of war eventually became a prairie fire.

A large-scale wave of joining the army quickly swept the entire Jishou County.

Because the thief of the subject country did not die, he provoked Daze on a small scale many times, and finally made the general army of Zhishou County unbearable, and the military system was changed again, from 2,000 people in one battalion to 4,000 people.

In order to defend the abolished prince, Bai Tao led the second battalion, a total of 8,000 soldiers to guard the set, and promoted to the rear wing commander, Qin Wa led a battalion of 4,000 soldiers to transfer to the right wing of the north of the county, and Qi Zhang led a battalion of 4,000 soldiers to transfer to the left wing of the north of the county.

Tan Ji because of his outstanding military exploits, several times repeatedly performed miraculous feats, promoted to the north of the county front wing commander, in charge of Qin Wa, Qi Zhang's master and apprentice, commanded 8,000 soldiers, frontal defense of Jumping Horse Lake, upright on the border of the subject country.

If you want to abduct the crown prince, you must first kill Tan Ji and step over the corpses of 8,000 soldiers before you can reach the set.

Jumping Horse Lake, 16,000 soldiers were deployed.

At this time, in the prince's mansion, Duan Min lost his temper in the room, and swept the chicken, duck, fish, and hot white rice on the table to the ground.

"Let the men you send? I just want a slave to serve, and you can't do this little thing, how many days have you been? Why hasn't Sheng Jiaojiao come yet? Have you sent someone to call her? ”

She is still waiting to establish her authority in this mansion, Sheng Jiaojiao can't come, how can she slap the face and abolish the princess?

In the heavy snow outside the eaves, there were a large number of maiden eunuchs, kneeling on the ground one by one, not daring to respond.

This can make Duan Min angry enough, she is a titled county lord, the crown princess is a commoner, although she is her mother-in-law, but the more disparity in status, the more Duan Min can't swallow this breath.

The more Sheng Jiaojiao didn't come, the more Duan Min asked her to come.

The fact that the people in this house dared not listen to her orders showed that these minions did not take her words to heart at all.

Okay, okay, that commoner's mother-in-law is the master, and she, the noble county lord, isn't she the master?

Jinxiu stepped forward, stood behind Duan Min, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, and bent down and said:

"I heard that a few days ago, I sent someone to summon Sheng Jiaojiao, but halfway through, I was killed by the subject people who infiltrated Daze."

"What?"

As soon as he heard this, Duan Min was a little shrunken, and he was busy turning around and holding Jinxiu,

"This Zhishou County is so messy? The subjects have come to kill again? ”

On the day she got married, everyone in the subject country could directly enter the prince's mansion, why couldn't she be killed?

No one will think this is impossible, and no one thinks this is very abrupt, think about it, although the prince was abolished and degraded here, but after all, it is still the blood of the Son of Heaven, if the prince falls into the hands of the countrymen, where is Daze's face?

Duan Min is no longer sensible, and he also knows that the situation in Vaulting Horse Lake is tense.

It is not a pity that the two eunuchs who were sent out to summon Sheng Jiaojiao to serve were killed, but the meaning revealed in them made people cold from head to toe.

I'm afraid that the Prince's Mansion will be targeted by the subject country.

Thinking of this situation, Duan Min felt a chill, and hurriedly grabbed Jinxiu and asked:

"Oh no, will I be okay? Splendid, what should I do? The subjects even killed the eunuchs, which was a grudge against the prince. ”

She also belongs to the side of the abolished prince now, will the people of the country also target her?

At this moment, where does Duan Min still care if Sheng Jiaojiao comes to serve her, she has a feeling that her head is pinned to the waistband of her pants, torturing Sheng Jiaojiao and slapping the princess in the face, where does it matter to save her life?

Serving Duan Min since childhood, born in the inner house, growing up in the inner house, where can she have any ideas, she didn't think about it at first, whether this is a resentment against the prince or something, she only inquired about the news, and thought about telling the county lord quickly.

As a result, hearing the county lord say this, Jinxiu's frightened face turned white.

She hurriedly shook Duan Min's hand,

"County Lord, where is this Duan Liangyuan, this is pushing you into the fire pit."

Duanmin's father has no power and power, there are many wives and concubines in the family, and there is no wealth and nobility, but there is no male in the family to support the family business.

And Duan Min is the most unpopular among the girls in the family, the mother who gave birth to her is an ordinary deep lady, compared to these royal children in the whirlpool of power, Duan Min's mother has no roots, no power, no power.

Even because of A-Niang's shallow knowledge, even her vision with Duanmin is not wide.

It was really unexpected to be given marriage by the emperor and to give Duanmin the title "Hui".
