"What do you want me to do?" Ling Yunhe looked at Xie Jinshu and asked.

Xie Jinshu hesitated, picked up his wine glass and touched it with Ling Yunhe, and then said in a low voice: "I think we have to stock up on some food first." ”

Ling Yunhe's face was stunned, "Your Majesty is driving out on the expedition, where is there still grain in more than ten prefectures and counties around the capital?" Besides, now that the imperial court is not short of grain, what are you doing with grain? At this time, the price of grain is not low, in case you don't need to smash it into your hand, it is a lot of silver, and you will lose all the money you have earned in the past few years. ”

Xie Jinshu looked at Ling Yunhe, "How long do you think this battle can last?" ”

"Your Majesty personally leads the army, and it will definitely be a quick victory."

"You're so hesitant that you're not sure, are you?"

Ling Yunhe snorted, "The weather is too bad this year, it's hard to say everything." ”

"I think the same way, in case the war drags on, do you say the military rations are enough?"

Ling Yunhe was silent.

Xie Jinshu chuckled, "I know you must be thinking in your heart, what do we have to do with the lack of military food?" But don't forget who is sitting in the position of the head of the household. ”

Ling Yunhe sighed, he knew that the Xie family and the Song family were in-laws, but he didn't expect Xie Jinshu to bother so much for the concubine in the palace, so he said, "Do you want to talk back to the concubine Niangniang about this matter?" ”

Xie Jinshu shook his head, "The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, now I don't know how many people are staring at Song Shangshu and the noble concubine, and there must be people on our side staring." You're better, I'm really hard to move an inch in the capital. ”

"So you just want me to run errands?" Ling Yunhe almost rolled his eyes.

"Good brother, let's not talk about two families. I don't feel at ease with anyone about such an important matter, only you and I can feel at ease. ”

"Thank you for looking up to me." Ling Yunhe looked at Xie Jinshu, "Even if I go out of the capital, those merchants have to keep an eye on, and I still have to think of a way." Besides, if I really want to collect grain, I have to go south, last year the new policy was implemented, and the south made up a lot of rice and grain into Beijing, and then went to buy grain, I don't know how much more I can buy. ”

Once a war starts, food is in short supply, just like medicinal herbs, and ordinary people will not sell it easily.

Looking for a grain merchant to buy, the price will be more expensive in this situation, even if he joins forces with Xie Jinshu, he is not sure how much grain he can buy with the silver in his hand.

Xie Jinshu chuckled, "I'll just say that you are too one-sided, you buy and sell in business, but there are also replacements." ”

"What do you want to trade?" As soon as Ling Yunhe spoke, he immediately thought of something, and his face changed instantly, "It's really yours." ”

Xie Jinshu smiled, "Do you say it's okay?" ”

"I'll see it." Ling Yunhe gritted his teeth and said, "The goods in the south of the treasure makeup building are very tight, if you take this exchange, it's hard to say, but it can definitely be exchanged." ”

"Then try it, but quietly, and not noticed." Xie Jinshu said softly, "Don't come forward, find a few stewards under your command to do this, in case you are targeted, you have to get out, and you can't pull the concubine Niangniang in." ”

The things in the treasure makeup building can be replaced, because the treasure makeup building was opened by the concubine Niangniang with the three concubines in the palace, and the signboard in the palace is a golden signboard for those officials and eunuchs.

After the changes of the Ling family, Ling Yunhe is no longer the stupid character he was at the beginning, and looked at Xie Jinshu with a slight bow, "I know how to do it, you prepare the silver, I will go out of Beijing the day after tomorrow, since I want to do it, the sooner the better." However, we have to be prepared, in case we don't need this food, we will smash it. ”

"It's just a loss of money and then selling, more or less half of the cost can be recovered. However, if I use it, then I will do a great job. Rich and dangerous, brother, fight. ”

Ling Yunhe chuckled, it sounded good, what the hell is why, just know it in your heart.

Xie Jinshu said goodbye to Ling Yunhe and went back to prepare the silver, and Ling Yunhe also returned to Ling's house against the cold wind.

This heavy snow has cast a shadow on the entire capital, and the capital is still like this, I don't know how His Majesty is on the march, and I don't know what about the soldiers and people in the border city.

Song Yunzhao was worried, but he was helpless.

The condition of the Queen Mother on this side has a tendency to worsen, and Yun Zhao does not dare to slack off when she is old, so she asks the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital to take turns on duty in Shouci Palace.

She doesn't like the Queen Mother, but she can't let the Queen Mother have a good time when the emperor goes on the expedition.

I have to take care of the queen mother's condition, and take care of the two children, Feng Zhen's reading has not been interrupted, and Anshun continues to go to the front hall to study every day, Yue Guanlan and Yang Weiqing still enter the palace every day to study, as the weather gets colder and colder, it is not a good thing to let the two children go back and forth, she pondered that they would suspend their classes when they entered the wax moon.

Fortunately, Feng Yun is a well-behaved child, and Yun Zhao can be very happy when he sits next to him.

When Feng Yun came back from class, Feng Yun's attention shifted to his brother, and it was also very interesting for the little brothers to communicate without understanding their words.

Ji Yunting and Song Hun Ran were busy with the snow disaster in the capital, and the six departments were even more busy.

On this day, Yun Zhao came back from visiting the Queen Mother, and Concubine Shu caught up with her in the wind and snow and said, "Seeing that I am about to enter Layue, why is there no news at all?" ”

Song Yunzhao has not received a letter since Feng Yi left Beijing, so he is naturally worried, but he also knows that it must be the army that is rushing overnight, so he naturally has no time to write to her in this case.

"At least we have to wait for the royal driver to arrive in the border city before we can have news to return to Beijing, in this kind of weather, we have to worry more than usual, we can't be in a hurry."

Concubine Shu is not in a hurry, she is such a lazy person, and now she has invited the Buddha statue to open a small Buddha hall alone, and she has to burn incense and chant Buddha every day to pray for His Majesty to win the war.

"The Queen Mother has not been well this time, and the hospital said that it was going to be raised slowly, so I couldn't wait." Concubine Shu looked at Song Yunzhao and said slowly, "I think about the addition of three points of charcoal to the Shouci Palace, what do you think?" ”

Song Yunzhao naturally couldn't agree, thought about it and said, "Just make up the second prince's share to Shouci Palace." ”

"How does this work?" Concubine Shu disagreed.

Yun Zhao looked at her, "This year's weather is colder than in previous years, and the charcoal cases in each palace have increased, and the remaining share in the palace is not much, and it has to be prepared for the next year." The second prince stayed with me all day, and it was enough to take out half of his share. If you understand something else, it won't be easy to make up for it at that time. ”

Concubine Shu came to discuss with Yun Zhao because she was embarrassed, and when she heard her say this, she could only nod and say, "It's the second prince who has been wronged." ”

"He's a little kid, and now he's with me, it's not a grievance. Besides, the Queen Mother is the most important, and Your Majesty is fighting outside, so we can't let any accidents happen in Shouci Palace. ”

Concubine Shu nodded, "I have to go every day now, Concubine An has now moved to Shouci Palace to serve the sick, and she is doing her best to serve the Queen Mother, with her by her side, the Queen Mother looks pretty good." ”

Song Yunzhao listened to Concubine Shu mention An Shutong, and his footsteps paused slightly.
