Chapter 475: Stumbling Block
Shenjing City, on the Jinluan Palace.
Dai Quan shouted at the top of his voice: "There is a morning play, but there is no retreat."
Li Guanglu, the secretary of the military department, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Shaanxi has sent an urgent report, our imperial army has exterminated 10,000 rebels in Yulin three days ago, and successfully recovered Yulin, this is a good news sent by Ning Guogong, and please visit Your Majesty."
When the civil and military officials in the main hall heard this, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
The Jia family is really a character, and they have won three consecutive victories just after arriving in Shaanxi, which is really amazing.
Winning a few wars is nothing.
However, there are those generals in front who lost their troops and lost their generals, were defeated and died, and the whole army was wiped out, which was particularly unusual.
When Lin Ruhai heard this, he also sighed, Jia Cong can do this, and he doesn't have to worry about him.
Wait for the court, let someone send a letter to Yu'er, tell her the news, so that she won't worry at home.
When Emperor Longqing heard this, he was even more in a good mood, Jia Cong, this kid was really angry with himself.
Said happily: "Ning Guogong is really my blessed general, quickly present it to me."
Li Guanglu didn't dare to slack off, took out the good news, and presented it with both hands.
Dai Quan stepped forward to take it and sent it to Emperor Longqing.
Emperor Longqing looked through it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and deeply admired Jia Cong's achievements, but when he saw the back, when Jia Cong used the seized property to reward the soldiers, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
This matter can be big or small, and according to Jia Cong's explanation, there is nothing wrong with it.
Judging from Jia Cong's previous performance, there should be no idea of buying people's hearts, purely for the sake of the war situation.
Besides, his family is still in the capital, no matter how you look at Jia Cong, he will not have any different intentions, thinking of this, Emperor Longqing was relieved.
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
Will work hard for the imperial court, who will disregard life and death and bravely kill the enemy, does Lord Yang want the imperial army to be defeated?"
Yang Huai said angrily: "The surname is Niu, what nonsense are you talking about, is that what the official means? The official also hopes that Ning Guogong can exterminate the rebels as soon as possible and let the people of Shaanxi live a normal life. However, rewarding the army is a matter for the imperial court, that is a matter for His Majesty, and Ning Guogong's move is a bit arrogant."
Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding said: "As the commander of an army, Ning Guogong was ordered by the emperor to lead the troops to suppress bandits, which represents the imperial court, represents His Majesty, and rewards meritorious soldiers, what is wrong, Lord Yang's words are a bit excessive."
Emperor Longqing had known about this for a long time, Jia Cong did not hide it from him, and when he heard Shi Ding's words again, his heart was a lot smoother.
waved his hand and said: "Ning Guogong was ordered to suppress the bandits, and it represents the imperial court, there is nothing wrong with this move, Ning Guogong has already said this matter in the battle report, and this matter will be stopped."
Song Aiqing, prepare some pigs, sheep, and wine, and transport them to Shaanxi to reward the three armies."
"Your Majesty!"
······
Ningguo Mansion, in the lobby.
The warbler and the swallow are full of laughter.
Today, Lin Daiyu is the east, and invited all the sisters to come over, and by the way, a poetry club was held.
Li Kun looked at the five or six ice basins in the room, and the various ice creams and popsicles on the table, and couldn't stop smacking his tongue.
"Sister Lin, your family is really rich, it's just summer, and you have used so many ice cubes here, it's really too luxurious, and you can't live a good life."
Lin Daiyu smiled: "Isn't it that there are a lot of people today, I'm afraid that the heat will make you guys, so I put a few more pots of ice cubes, but it has attracted a lesson from my sister-in-law, I'm really difficult."
Li Kun smiled and said, "Hey, it's my sister-in-law who blames you."
Shi Xiangyun took an ice cream and said with a smile while eating: "Sister Lin is still comfortable here, my sister is reluctant to leave, and this ice cream is so delicious."
Xue Baoqin said, "Well, it's the first time I've eaten this ice cream, it's so delicious, I've never seen it before."
Li Wen said, "We haven't seen this thing before, and we haven't seen anything for sale."
Xing Xiuyan said: "It's also the first time I've eaten this ice cream and popsicles, I've only seen ice food sellers before, and it's not comparable to this."
Xichun smiled and said: "This is all made by our family, it was a few years ago, at that time, my brother had not gone to Liaodong to join the army, we have been selling in the capital for two years, and in a few days, there will be some in the capital."
Xue Baochai smiled: "You don't have to wait a few days, it has already been sold a few days ago."
Xue Baoqin said, "Sister, is this also made by my brother-in-law? My brother-in-law is amazing."
Xichun said proudly: "Of course, it was all invented by my brother, can it not be powerful, my brother is the most powerful."
Xue Baochai pinched Xichun's little face and said with a smile: "If you praise your brother, you are not afraid that others will snatch your brother away."
Xichun smiled and said, "There are two sisters-in-law watching, who can snatch it away, Sister-in-law Lin is very good at fighting, who can beat her?"
Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and scolded with a smile: "Eat your ice cream, can't ice cream stop your mouth?"
Shi Xiangyun chuckled, "Well, the third brother is quite powerful, I can't eat enough of this ice cream."
Yingchun said, "Don't eat too much, be careful of eating your stomach."
Tanchun sighed and said, "We are eating this ice cream comfortably here, and I don't know how the third brother is now, is it hot there, and there is no ice cream to eat?"
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.
Jia Cong has been on the expedition for more than a month, and to be honest, everyone misses him a little.
Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu are both newly married, so they naturally miss them even more.
Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Brother Cong will not wronged himself, we don't have to worry about him, if he wants to eat, just make it himself, this is not difficult for him." I used to hear him say that when he was in Liaodong, he lived quite comfortably.
We just have to wait for him to come back."
Shi Xiangyun said: "I really want to go and see the third brother show his might, Sister Lin, aren't you very powerful, or let's go to the third brother secretly."
Xichun said, "I'm going too."
Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes, she said it in front of so many people, how could she go secretly?
"I wanted to go, but Brother Cong didn't let me, let me stay at home and watch the house, besides, it's too chaotic there, it's not a place we can go, you better stay at home honestly, otherwise you will really be robbed of it, pull you to be the lady of the village, don't forget the previous lesson."
Shi Xiangyun wrinkled his nose and said, "Sister Lin, you really can't open any pot, it's been a matter of many years."
Everyone looked at Shi Xiangyun curiously, and some people in the know couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.
Shi Xiangyun and Xichun secretly followed them to Jiangnan, but they were almost arrested by Hanako.
Thinking of the previous troubles, Shi Xiangyun stopped saying nothing and concentrated on dealing with ice cream.
At this time, Zijuan walked in and said with a smile, "I have good news for you, our grandfather has won the battle again and has taken Yulin back."
"Ah······h
When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Zijuan.
Lin Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Zijuan, is this news true, who did you listen to?"
Zijuan smiled: "Madam, this news is indeed true, it is the news sent by Master Lin of the Lin Mansion, and the good news has been sent to the capital."
Lin Daiyu said, "Is it the news that my father sent me?"
Zijuan said, "Yes, ma'am."
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Since it is the news sent by my father, then there will be no mistake, now that Brother Cong has won the battle again, you don't have to worry about him, maybe Brother Cong will soon exterminate the rebels, and the class teacher will return to the court."
Xue Baoqin exclaimed: "Brother-in-law is really powerful, it's only been a long time, and he has won three battles, it's really amazing."
Xichun chuckled, "Of course, that's my brother."
Xue Baochai smiled: "We will use this victory as the theme today, how about composing a poem?"
Lin Daiyu said, "I think it's okay, what do you think?"
Li Kun said: "Everyone has never seen the battlefield, and they have never seen a war, isn't this a bit difficult."
Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "Actually, we have seen it, last time on the canal, we watched the third brother win a battle."
Li Kun said, "Okay, let's take this as the topic."
······
On this day, Jia Lian and Xue Pan finally rushed to Yulin with the grain team.
Looking at the mighty and endless grain team, they slowly entered Yulin City, and the people in the city cheered, and there was finally no shortage of food.
Jia Cong asked Li Biao to take the owners of the four grain stores and settle the grain team first.
He also gathered all the stewards who led the team together, and set a rule, so as not to go their own way and get out of order.
"Everyone, thank you for transporting the grain to Shaanxi, in principle, this commander will not interfere with your actions, you can sell it however you want, to whomever you want. But there is one point, that is, you can't go beyond the area under the control of the commander, once beyond this area, in case of danger, the commander is not responsible, this is also for your own good, please keep this in mind.
I have two proposals here, one is that you can sell your own grain, and you can sell it however you want. The other is to sell the grain you bring in to the local grain merchants at a cheaper price. Of course, how you choose is entirely up to you, and the commander will not ask or interfere, and everything is up to you."
"I'm waiting to thank you Dashuai, Dashuai, can we sell it anywhere?"
When everyone heard Jia Cong say this, they were completely relieved, and they were afraid that Jia Cong would pinch them on the way here.
Jia Cong said: "Selling in this Yulin City, Ben Shuai can ensure everyone's safety, of course, you can also go to the towns and villages in Yulin to sell
But you are responsible for your own safety, and I can't send troops to protect you. If it's all right, go down and choose the right place, the right method, and sell your food."
Someone asked, "Dashuai, I don't know what the food in Ning Guofu will do, can you tell us?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "There is no need, Ben Shuai is here to fight, and it is also incidental to find this way of wealth for everyone, and it is impossible to focus on this." I will entrust the local grain merchants to sell the grain to them at a low price, so that although I make less money, I will also save a lot of trouble."
When the stewards heard this, they discussed with each other for a while, and then they took their leave.
Only a steward of Jia Lian, Xue Pan, Xue Ke, and Lin Mansion, and a steward of the Shi family remained.
Xue Pan asked, "Brother Cong, what should I do with these grains of my Xue family, Brother Cong has an opinion, my brother listens to you."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Brother Xue doesn't have to be like this, if you have other ideas, you can't do it. My thoughts are this, if all the food is sold out, I don't know when?
It is better to resell it to those grain merchants at a low price, although they make less money, but they can quickly get rid of it and get the money in their hands. We can't just ship this time, the food will continue to be shipped in the future, and the price will be lower and lower, and of course there will still be some money."
A few people are not stupid, they understand it as soon as they hear it.
With so much grain in Yulin City, it is impossible to digest it in the short term, and it is estimated that it will be sold slowly, so there is something to wait.
Jia Lian said, "Brother Cong, even if we sell all the grain to those grain merchants, won't they be able to sell it? Shall we bring more food here?"
Jia Cong said: "Naturally, Shaanxi is very big, and there is a serious shortage of grain, even if you bring ten times as much grain, you can eat it, you just have to transport the grain over, and the matter of selling it will be handed over to those people."
