Chapter 21: Tian Huai's decision
Huang Ye smiled and gave a bunch of money to Li Mu, "It's not okay to ask someone to help without giving some benefits, give these to the steward, and the steward will say good things for you." ”
"This ....." Li Mu held the hanging money as if holding a hot potato, "how embarrassing is this......"
Huang Ye waved his hand, disapproving, "I know what the situation is, and I have to keep the money to buy food, and I will give this money for everyone, which can be regarded as a thank you for taking care of us over the years." ”
In the past five years, in addition to the heavy snow to close the mountain, she has to enter the mountain almost once every month or two, none of them are empty-handed, when they are less, they can be exchanged for one or two taels of silver, at most once they cooperate with the soldiers to hunt a black bear, and the result is another tiger, although the process is thrilling, but the result is good.
The skin and flesh of the two big prey were sold separately, and the skin alone was sold for thousands of taels, and she alone divided a hundred taels, plus those herbs, and earned more than a hundred taels at one time.
With this money, she planned to settle down in the city, but Meng Sangpo didn't want to leave the village, so she had no choice but to give up.
Li Mu hesitated for a moment, and a hint of firmness flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, I will tell you the truth." ”
Huang Ye only smiled and did not refuse.
After the two entered the city, they separated, she is now a little red in Pucheng, and there is no one who does not know her in the city guards, and she can go out of the city with just one word, and she doesn't need a token at all.
Li Mu pushed the cart into the Major General's Mansion and plucked up the courage to find the steward.
The steward in charge of the purchase was surnamed Zhao, and he was also an old man in the house, after listening to Li Mu's request, he frowned and gasped several times, "Li Mu!" It's not a trivial matter, I can't help you! ”
"Steward Zhao, I know that you are the most bodhisattva-hearted, and there must be a way, this is a little bit of our mind." Li Mu hurriedly stuffed Huang Ye's copper plate into Steward Zhao's arms.
"This ..... It's not appropriate! Steward Zhao was still embarrassed, but he didn't push off the copper plates.
Li Mu pleaded even harder.
Steward Zhao stared at him for a while, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Are you from the same village as Miss Huang?" ”
Li Mu nodded.
"Okay! Then I'll go out and help you open your mouth, I don't dare to guarantee you if it doesn't work out. Steward Zhao looked like he was going home.
Li Mu was overjoyed, and hurriedly gave Steward Zhao a few kneeling heads.
Steward Zhao really went to Qingfeng Yuan to report the matter to Tian Huai.
Tian Huai's expression couldn't see joy or sorrow, Steward Zhao's heart suddenly lifted, and after a while, Tian Huai said slowly: "Bring that person named Li Mu to see me." ”
Steward Zhao hurriedly went out and called Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't dare to take a breath when he entered Qingfeng Garden, and Tian Huai only asked one sentence, and he said it all as if he was pouring beans.
Tian Huai suddenly laughed angrily and muttered, "That dead girl will really find trouble for me!" ”
"That's it! In this case, Steward Zhao helped them buy grain, and by the way, he sent someone to inform several other villages to see how much grain they needed, and this prince could sell it to them at the lowest price. Tian Huai said slowly.
Steward Zhao and Li Mu immediately kowtowed to Tian Huai several times before going out.
After a while, Mr. Wen received the message and hurriedly came over, "Are you crazy?" ”
People arrive before they can make a sound.
Tian Huai plucked out his ears and hooked the corners of his mouth ruffianly, "Be quiet, I'm not deaf yet!" ”
Mr. Wen was so angry that the bruises on his forehead burst out, "It's not small! I ask you, what do you really want to do? It's almost a war, what are you doing to provoke Gongsun Ming at this juncture? ”
"When did I provoke Gongsun Ming?" Tian Huai rolled his eyes.
Mr. Wen was even more angry, "Don't pretend to be garlic for me!" Who doesn't know that eighty percent of the shops in Pucheng are the property of Gongsun Ming, the county commander, and he plans to take advantage of the war to make a profit, you are now born to sell grain at the lowest price, isn't it to offend Gongsun Ming?
Although he can't make any waves with a county order, the Gongsun family behind him is not easy to mess with! Even the king must pay three points, and you say that you will ......."
Mr. Wen hated that iron could not become steel, so he sat down with his ass, and even poured a few sips of tea but still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
Tian Huai sneered and glanced at Mr. Wen with lowered eyes, "You also know that I am going to the battlefield, if I don't take advantage of this time to gather the hearts of the people, even if I win the battle later, no one will advocate for me, then what am I trying to do?" ”
He came to Pucheng for five years, and the people only knew that there was a prominent young general in the city, but in addition to that, it was gone, once the war everyone would only think of the marshal guarding the pass, no one remembered him, he didn't think about doing anything to make a name for himself over the years, but just like Mr. Wen said, there is a Gongsun Ming in the city, they can't move easily, and there is a marshal at the border, and he can't intervene.
A rare opportunity to upset the balance between them, how could he easily let go of this opportunity.
"But what about the Gongsun family behind Gongsun Ming?" This is what Mr. Wen fears the most.
"Hehehe....." Tian Huai smiled, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, "It's going to be a war, a small county order is dead and dead, who cares?" At this time, do you think there are still people in the Gongsun family who are willing to come to Pucheng to take risks?
When the war settles down, this son is the real person in charge of Pucheng, and how the king will explain it is not a matter of my words! ”
Mr. Wen was suppressed by Tian Huai's domineering, and it took a while to calm down, and he shook his head helplessly, "That's it, since you want to take risks, I can't help it, I just hope things can go as smoothly as you expected." ”
Steward Zhao's efficiency is still very high, and he got the counted amount of grain in half a day, so much grain needs to be transferred from other prefectures, and it is estimated that it will take half a month to send it to Pucheng.
At this time, Huang Ye was about to enter the 100,000 mountains, and the soldiers who followed the soldiers into the mountains before were all on the same road, and if she entered the mountain alone, she would try other routes, but there were not many opportunities for this, this time it was rare that the time and place were favorable, and she had to grasp it well.
I have to say that her sixth sense is still very good, she chose a good path, and she has already harvested a lot of things before she enters the mountains, these things she can't take away at one time, she can only use the sack prepared in advance, find a place to store it temporarily, and find out the same thing when she returns.
When she hid the last bag of things, she found that it was almost dark, surrounded by dense forests, and she didn't know if she could find a place to stay before dark.
In her hurry, she lost her usual caution, and lost her way in less than two quarters of an hour, and was startled by the movement in the grass, and slipped down the slope, and just as she thought it was over, she fell into a hole with a bang, and splashed in all directions.
After a brief moment of confusion, Huang Ye struggled out of the bucket and looked up at it, it was obviously a roof, and there was a large hole in her head that she had smashed out.
