Chapter 640: A Bowl of Hot Soup

Yan Dui was also suspicious, Liu Yunxiang asked, he said casually, but seeing her react so much, Yan Dui felt uncomfortable.

"How long have you and Lu Changan not seen each other?"

"It's been more than five years."

"In five years, he has changed from a son who is controlled by others to the king of the northwest, doubling the military strength of the northwest, and now he is strong and strong, and he can keep pace with the Zhenbei army in Nanzhou, obviously he is no longer the Lu Chang'an you knew five years ago, nor is he the Lu Chang'an you know."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Yes, what you said is right, but I believe that he will always be him and will not change." ”

In the last life, when Jin You wanted to seal the Shannian Camp, only Lu Changan spoke for them. At that time, he knew that Jin You had killed many loyal ministers in order to eliminate dissidents, and he knew that he was already a thorn in Jin You's side, but he still stood up. In the end, he gave his life to save these people, so in this life, how could he harm them.

Maybe a person's essence will change, but everyone will change, and Lu Changan will not.

"You really trust him, but you're too blind."

"Not blindness, but ......"

Liu Yunxiang opened his mouth, unable to explain for a moment that this trust came from the experience of the previous life.

"That's it, let's not talk about that." Liu Yunxiang turned around and walked to the fence, looking at the people of the Shannian Camp below who were suffering from hunger and cold, "This winter will be very cold, but last night there was a fire that burned half of the houses, if the resettlement is not good, more people will definitely die." ”

Yan Du didn't want to be bored, so he didn't mention Lu Chang'an's matter again, he sat down on the fence, glanced down sideways, and said lightly: "It's true that they shirk each other, but the treasury is really out of money, and the imperial court can't afford to settle these people at all." ”

"I have a way."

"You?"

Yan Du looked at the hundreds of people in the Shannian Camp below, and it was a big problem to settle them.

"Look at these people, many of them are still young and middle-aged, instead of being locked up here, it is better to let them go out to work and earn money, so that the Shannian Camp can be self-sufficient, and there is no need to ask the court for relief."

"You mean to let the court let go of the Camp of Good Thoughts? They are all prisoners, how is it possible? ”

"They are the families of criminals, not some heinous criminals."

Yan Du tilted his head and smiled, "Even if it's possible, who will give them work?" Who pays the wages? Who can accept so many people, although there are young and middle-aged, but there are more old and weak women and children, what is the use of such a group of people? ”

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "The time is not yet ripe, you will know when the time comes." Besides, this mess shouldn't be let you take it, it was originally a good thought camp set up by the emperor at the beginning of his accession to the throne, but now it has become a drag, and it should be solved by him. ”

Yan Du sighed, "But in fact, what is more tricky at the moment is the three armies stationed in Nanzhou, except for the Zhenbei Army, the other two are urging for food. ”

"The riots in Nanzhou have been quelled, and only one army can be left to garrison."

"Nanzhou is a piece of fat, and no one is willing to withdraw it."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Dui, his eyes narrowed, and said, "Then let them raise their own food, and if they can't stand it, they will naturally withdraw." ”

Yan Du laughed: "What you think is too simple, now I am acting as the imperial court, and raising the army's food and salary has always been the top priority. If I don't handle it well, the Central Plains Army and the Northwest Army will definitely denounce me, not to mention that I can't withstand this pot, once the two armies are short of food and salary, the soldiers are bound to make trouble, and the three roads are together, in case of friction, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

If you are not careful, it will turn into a melee between the north of the town, the Central Plains and the northwest, and Nanzhou, which has finally been calmed down, will suffer heavy losses again.

"If we don't wait for them to make a fuss, there will be a blizzard in Nanzhou?"

Yan Duan reached out and touched Liu Yunxiang's head: "I don't have a fever either, why are you talking nonsense?" ”

Liu Yunxiang pulled down Yan Dui's hand, leaned into his ear and whispered: "I've calculated, in the past few days, there will be a blizzard in Nanzhou, and a big snow will immediately turn the warm Nanzhou into ice and snow." We had the foresight to have enough cotton clothes in the north of the town, and they were transported to the barracks a few days ago, but the Central Plains and Northwest Army did not have cotton clothes, and they stayed up for two or three days to the limit. ”

Yan Du hugged Liu Yunxiang into his arms and said with a smile: "You still calculate?" How did I not know you had this ability? ”

"Believe it or not, we'll see in a few days." Liu Yunxiang said with a firm face.

Yan Du looked at her for a while, "A few days ago, a message was sent from the north of the town that you asked the caravan to transport back tens of thousands of cotton clothes from Beijin, and after passing the details in the military camp, they were sent to Nanzhou. And Nanzhou is very warm in winter, there is no need for cotton clothes at all, you actually said that there is going to be a blizzard, but there are historical records, Nanzhou has been in a hundred years, and the snow melted on the day it fell. ”

"In short, the matter of Nanzhou's military salary, you can drag it first."

Yan Du didn't believe her mysterious words, so she only said: "I can only drag it, I can't turn silver out of thin air." ”

Yan Duan still had something to do here, so Liu Yunxiang left first.

After walking out for a while, remembering that the food box had fallen, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin and walked back, and walked not far from the high platform, where she saw that the county lord of Changning was actually inside. She also carried the food box, and took out a pot of soup from it, maybe it was still a little hot, and she handed it to Yan Du with her left and right hands upside down.

Yan Du looked at her quietly for a while, but finally reached out and took the cup, and then lowered his head and drank the soup in the cup.

"That Changning County Lord is really annoying!" Zijin frowned.

Liu Yunxiang's eyes narrowed, and he strode towards the high platform.

When I got up, Yan Du happened to finish drinking.

"On such a cold day, it's really comfortable to warm up after drinking hot soup. But I didn't think about it, I just thought about bringing you food early, and I didn't bring hot soup. Liu Yunxiang smiled lightly.

Yan Du was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly put the cup aside, "Why are you back again?" ”

"Come back and get the food box." Liu Yunxiang replied, and glanced into the cup again, "Yo, it's delicious, it's dry like this, I don't know what kind of soup it is?" ”

"Ginseng black chicken soup." Changning interjected.

Liu Yunxiang turned to look at Changning and sighed: "This soup can't be boiled for two hours, so you need to prepare it before dawn." ”

"It's true that it was stewed before dawn."

"The county lord cooks himself?"

"If you give it to Your Highness to drink, you naturally have to be careful."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes narrowed: "Isn't it a bit too cheap for you to be so attentive to other people's husbands?" ”

"You!"

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, turned around and looked at Yan Duan again, and when he saw this guy's mouth, he leaned back on the railing, and he looked like he didn't care about himself. When Liu Yunxiang stepped forward to take the food box, he couldn't help but pinch his arm.

He hissed in pain, but didn't dare say anything.

"Is the soup good?"

Yan Du smashed it, "It's a little light." ”

Liu Yunxiang nodded, and turned to look at Changning: "The county lord heard it, my husband said that the soup you boiled is a little light, remember to put more salt next time." ”

Changning's face turned blue, when she was a cook?
