Song Yunzhao never expected that Xie Jinshu and Ling Yunhe would secretly go south to buy grain, because communication was not very convenient, so Xie Jinshu didn't know how much grain Ling Yunhe could buy now, but it was always a hope.

Song Yunzhao was overjoyed, and Xie Jinshu also said that whether it was food or medicinal materials, the household department had begun to draw them from all over the country, but no one could say how much they could get.

Song Yunzhao understood that the productivity in ancient times was low, and the grain seed and fertility were far inferior to those of later generations, so the yield was extremely low.

When there is a disaster in one place, the surrounding prefectures and counties have to have even grain to save their lives, so it is difficult for the prefectures and counties that can have surplus grain in various places to have too much surplus unless it is fertile land.

Song Yunzhao can't help it, first, she can't cultivate good seeds, and second, she can't cultivate medicinal materials, she really loses the face of her predecessors, and can only be an incompetent rice worm.

The only thing she could do now was to spend as much money as she could, and she could buy some of the goods that the merchant Juqi had stockpiled.

Song Yunzhao wrote another letter to Xie Jinshu, asking him to send a letter to Ling Yunhe, asking him to go straight to the border city with the purchased grain, without having to go back to the capital to go around, which was time-consuming and laborious.

As for the medicinal materials, it can only be seen how much else Xie Jinshu can get here.

Song Yunzhao has such a great ability, mainly to see how the prime minister and the six ministries adjust grain and raise grain, this is the big head.

Zhang Maoquan took the letter from the noble concubine to the emperor, as well as some pills and snacks prepared by the concubine, and set out on the return journey with the messenger overnight.

***

Border.

Feng Yi was discussing with the generals.

The Northern Darkness attacked Lincheng, which was only a hundred miles away from the border city where the emperor was stationed.

"Do you have reinforcements from the enemy?" Feng Yi looked at the injured King Zhenbei and asked.

King Zhenbei replied respectfully: "Weichen has just gotten the latest news, and the enemy is attacking the city with light cavalry. The light cavalry was more flexible and fast than the heavy cavalry, and the city walls were low and the defense was weak, so it was won by the North Underworld. ”

Ji Yunting and Song Hun Ran were caught in the middle, and the two were ordered to come to the border city all night after the New Year.

Ji Yunting had experience in escorting grain and grass to raise grain and grass, and at this time, the army was short of food and asked him to assist in this matter.

Although Song Huran was a civil official, he also had a lot of things to do after the border war, and Feng Yi intended to train him, so he asked him to come to do chores.

As observers, the two listened to the emperor and the generals discuss the matter, and walked behind in silence as everyone went out.

Not far away, I heard footsteps hurrying over, and then Meng Jiuchang, who was beside the emperor, came out in a hurry, and then took two people into the house.

One of them is familiar to them, it is Zhang Maoquan, and the other is a face student, but he is holding a brocade box, and they are all familiar with the box, which is used for communication with the capital.

It's the messenger.

The two looked at each other, and continued to walk out in silence.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw a person walking over quietly, "Xiaguan has seen two adults." ”

Ji Yunting looked at him a little embarrassed, and asked, "Where are you on an errand, what's the matter?" ”

"Xiaguan is on an errand at the city gate, and today someone said that he was a subordinate of Lord Song, please send a message on his behalf."

Song Hun was stunned, subordinates?

Isn't it from the Song family?

But he came to the border from afar, if there was no major incident, the Song family would not easily alarm him, "Can you report your name?" ”

"The man called himself Lingyunhe."

The people in the border city are not familiar with this name, but Ji Yunting and Song Hun Ran are familiar with it, this is the person of the noble concubine.

The two looked at each other, and Song Huran immediately said, "It's indeed my person who let him in." ”

After speaking, Song Huran untied the purse on his body and handed it over, "I'm sorry for you to go this way." ”

The man hurriedly shook his hand, but did not accept it, and ran away.

Ji Yunting smiled when he saw it, "Lord Song's upright name has won the hearts of the people." ”

Song Hun Ran is now familiar with Ji Yunting, and he didn't care when he heard him joking, "Let's go ahead and wait." ”

"Okay." Ji Yunting and Ming Guifei are not very familiar, but his daughter-in-law and Ming Guifei are cousins, and before Ming Guifei entered the palace, the two can be regarded as having a few faces.

It's a pity that Concubine Ming doesn't have a good impression of him.

Ling Yunhe helped Concubine Ming do things at the beginning, and the Ling family almost backstabbed Concubine because of this, and no one in the capital knew about these things.

Ling Yunhe killed his relatives and turned the tide with great strength, which saved the Ling family.

x Now that Lingyunhe is here, it is definitely not a coincidence.

After a long while, Ling Yunhe appeared in front of the two, his face was full of wind and frost, and his right arm was still wounded, and the blood soaked through the strip of cloth that bandaged the wound, looking strangely miserable.

"The grass people have seen two adults." Ling Yunhe burst into tears when he saw Song Huran.

"What's wrong with you?" Song Hun asked in amazement.

Ling Yunhe didn't have time to explain, and said directly: "Lord Song, the grass people quietly bought grain on the order of the noble concubine Niangniang, and arrived all the way from Lichuan to the border city. The grass people lived up to their high expectations and brought the grain. ”

The two were shocked.

Ji Yunting and Song Hun Ran glanced at each other, and Song Hun Ran immediately said: "I will go with him to see the grain, and Brother Ji will return to Your Majesty immediately." ”

Ji Yunting nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked back.

Now that there is a shortage of food, no matter how much Lingyunhe transports, it is a good thing.

Ling Yunhe waited for Ji Yunting to leave, and then followed Song Hun Ran out of the city, and sorted things out as he went.

It turned out that Ling Yunhe's grain collection all the way was not smooth, and when he was in Jiangnan, it was good to say that the land of fish and rice was richer than other places, and he privately reached an agreement with someone to buy grain with cheap silver, and then attached the goods of Baoxianglou.

It's just that out of the land of abundance, this set will not work, except for the official dependents, few merchants are willing to exchange grain.

Ling Yunhe is a clever person, every time he goes to a place, he first visits the local official's wife, and if the official's wife recommends him, the merchant will give him a little food if he doesn't offend the official.

"Because I was getting more and more averse, it was very inconvenient to carry too much grain on the road, so I asked the dart bureau to transport the purchased grain to the border city in batches. It's just that I never expected that I don't know who leaked the secret, the grain was privately detained by the border city officials, and I was charged with a crime, fortunately, I saw the opportunity quickly, and I turned around and ran away when I saw that it was wrong, otherwise I was afraid that I would not be able to find a shadow of my corpse at this time. ”

Song Huran paused, "The grain is real, but it is taken by the border city officials?" ”

Ling Yunhe shook his head, "Whether it is for themselves or not, the grass people don't dare to guess, but the granary I rented with my peers here is now surrounded by officials and soldiers." ”

Song Hun Ran looked at Ling Yunhe, "Let's go back, this matter is no longer something I can handle for you." ”

It can only be heard by heaven, and it will be decided by His Majesty.

The grain that Ling Yunhe transported in batches was not a decimal, and what he meant was that it was all the property of the Xie Ling family to purchase.

What a one!

It's just daring!
