Chapter 386 Yu Gan (52)

Huo Yunwan also laughed along with her. When she saw Xue Ling several times, she had to coax the little girl's temper. She never thought that once the day came, the two of them would turn their heads.However, this episode was just a matter of laughing and laughing, Xue Ling was still able to return to normal during the meal, let alone Huo Yunwan, all kinds of turmoil had already passed.

He casually put the letter that Xue Ling handed over to one side, and said: "It's hard work anywhere, the loving mother at home is elderly, and the younger sister in the yard is young, even if I ask them every day, I can't tell my heart, let alone how many days. "

"I called you here today because I wanted to talk about Su Yuru's incident. I wanted to bargain under the guise of not being able to get through. Unexpectedly, the imperial court will order a grain requisition in a few days. In this way, it will be sent to Ningcheng. If you order something, it will be aboveboard. Therefore, I am afraid that I will have to pay all of the Su family's wealth."

"Why do you suddenly want to ask for food?"Xue Ling didn't focus too much on the Su family. Firstly, she had complicated emotions towards Su Yuru. Secondly, she was far less concerned about money and things than others. It was difficult for her to understand the concept of a complete family background for a while. .What's more, the word requisition is extremely serious.

Since ancient times, raising an army has been a matter of spending money like water.Xue Ling was far from being in charge when he was in Pingcheng, but he knew the plight of the lack of money in the second city of Ping'an. Get something in exchange for money.

Asking means that there is no need for food without a war.

It is true that you must not ask for food, but it is also true that you need some money from the court every year.Even if there is no war all year round, the Second City Army in Ping'an is used for civilian purposes, saving the big items of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and occasionally can make some surplus, but if you want to pay the military salary in full on a monthly basis, you have to start from Get some elsewhere.If the hair is not enough, this soldier is no different from a real civilian husband.

It would be better to wait for the war to go door to door, anyway, it is a trick that comes and goes.Xue Yihan obviously couldn't let this happen, so he could only honestly ask the Ministry of War for money.It is not a small sum to distribute the monthly silver of tens of thousands of people.

Not to mention, once the war broke out, the people who were originally scattered as backups would be transferred to regular service, which would cost them several times more.If no one allocates food, before the defeat of the war, the lonely city will probably end up with a change child when it is trapped.

Xue Ling is short of money, but she has never experienced short food and clothing, and as far as she can see, as long as she wants, she can get it.On a day like this, how can Xue Yihan be so worried and troubled?

To put it nicely, it was ten years of peace and prosperity, but to put it badly, it was ten years without any achievements.All the officials, big and small, in the court could only see the white money smashed to the northwest, without even making a sound. What can be written on the booklet, you can actually see it with your eyes closed.

However, whether to make meritorious deeds or not, Xue Yihan is not the only one who has the final say.Since ancient times, it has never been heard that the powerful minister is inside, but the general can make contributions to the outside.What's more, what he met was not a minister of power, but Emperor Quan.

Xue Ling was not in the capital as a hostage, how dare Emperor Liang Cheng allow Xue Yihan to expand the territory.

It's not completely useless, at least the people in the northwest area have lived in peace for more than ten years, and Xue Ling has had fun in Pingcheng for more than ten years.What's more is the deep love between the emperor and his ministers, which is a beautiful story through the ages.

With these things as a foundation, it doesn't matter whether she understands Xue Yihan or not, but she must know that the little military supplies allocated by the court every day can feed and clothe the soldiers in support. It is not easy to say that the warehouses are full. unrealistic.Besides, there are many places that need food, even if it is circulated among the people, it will be beneficial to the livelihood of the people, and it is absolutely impossible for a large amount of millet to become moldy.

Xue Ling's trip to Ancheng was pure luck.At the end of the year, the imperial court received new grain, and the grain from the second city of Ping'an had just arrived and had not been distributed yet.If you change the time point, the Ancheng granary can fill half of it, which is already abundant.

Therefore, rather than saying that the sign of the war is that the soldiers should be sent to the army, it is better to say that the imperial court has started to prepare food, and it is really necessary to prepare for the target.After all, when there is nothing wrong with the emperor, the emperor will also ask the people under him to pay a real number to see how many horseshoes he has raised.During the annual festival, there is also the verification of the expenditure account, which requires the roster of incumbents.

Grain collection is different. The so-called soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are used.Moreover, this move will harm the people's livelihood. If the imperial court collects grain without reason, there may be public grievances. A slightly normal emperor will not risk the world's disgrace.

Most of these things are collected on the spot. It is not easy to transport the mountains and rivers. The more supplies are escorted, the more labor is required. Instead of consuming them on the road, it is better to collect food on the spot first. Allocation to make up.

In a good year, the imperial court will give a three or five taels of silver as the right to buy money.If the times are not good, the lives of the whole family will be confiscated. The man carries the knife, the woman cooks and sweeps, and the old, weak and children can push a rolling stone together.

Even a dog can be taken away, bark at the enemy alive, and be thrown into the pot when dead.In this case, it is more reasonable to say that those few grains are robbed rather than confiscated.

However, the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not as rich in fish and rice as in the south of the Yangtze River. However, half of Liang's troops are deployed here.It’s okay not to fight, [-]% to [-]% of them are the soldiers. This part of the people’s duty is not to defend the city, so they can’t afford to eat the government’s public food every day. If there is a fight, all the people will have to be called back.

Therefore, in all dynasties, there has never been a time when the Northwest alone could raise enough food, and at least half of it had to be allocated by the imperial court, so it had to be resolved quickly.

Therefore, it is indeed as Huo Yunwan said, as long as an order is issued to requisition grain, it is upright to transport things to the Huo family's land.Although there must be someone to supervise the amount of grain requisition, but with Huo Zhun's situation, it is not enough to decide the amount of grain requisition by himself. It is not easy to make fake accounts of the amount in private.So this supervision is nothing but empty talk.

The question is, how can we ask for food?

Grain collection is about to start a fight. Outside Pingcheng is Xianbei, and Tuoba Mian is only focused on the Jie tribe, so how could he fight Liang.Even if he counted on the plan that he won't blow the dust after taking down the Jie clan and attacking Liang immediately after taking down the Jie clan with that seal, Wei Lang wanted to destroy the entire Huo family army, so how could he prepare food first, and send it to Shen Yuanzhou if he wanted to.

However, when Xue Ling asked Huo Yunwan, Huo Yunwan couldn't answer. He only said that Huo Zhun had mentioned that there would be a demand for food in the near future, and that the front line to Ningcheng would be unimpeded. Let Huo Yunwan just focus on raising money without worrying. other.

Huo Yunwan was no more worried than Xue Ling about the border war, and she couldn't question Huo Zhun, and Wei Lang was also hiding things, and some things were still under planning and did not happen, so she really didn't know the inside story.But Xue Ling was very concerned. She was at ease when she came, but now she looked a little sad.

Recently, the Jiang family did not talk about any court affairs, and because Song Cang was also in prison, she did not pay much attention to any new tricks in the Jinluan Hall.Even if Huo Zhun covered the sky with one hand, he would have to be famous for collecting food. Without knowing the reason, Xue Ling felt that he was restless.

"When was this order issued? It's a secret order"?If it's a secret order, it's normal for that stupid dog in the Jiang family not to know.With Jiang Hong resigning from office, Xue Li just stood up to get a head start.

"Not yet, but what you said makes sense. When the time comes, it will probably be a secret decree. People over there should figure out their own way. Is this important to you and me?"Huo Yunwan didn't understand why Xue Ling kept asking. She mentioned this just because she wanted Xue Ling to mention Su Yuru.

If the money is gone, you can earn it again. If the son is gone, it seems that you can have another one. But if the life is gone, it is really gone.

Xue Ling said: "There is Xianbei outside Pingcheng, there is no possibility that Tuoba Mian will start a fight. How could Wei Lang allow Huo Zhun to collect grain?"

Huo Yunwan was still a little disapproving, and said: "Can't we really want to fight, why don't people pretend to want to fight?" She raised her eyebrows and scolded Xue Ling: "You forgot, now that person and the old man are still pretending to be friendly Maybe it was the old man who ordered him to pretend to go to war, find a name for himself to collect food, and force Wei Lang to agree, so that it can be transported smoothly."

Xue Ling shook his head and said: "Of course not, but if there is any sign that Xianbei is going to step on our Daliang territory, Wei Lang will only find a way to withdraw the expenses of the Huo family. Pingcheng has more than [-] defenders, and it has always been Ningcheng's forward line of defense. The two cities are both important places, with sophisticated equipment and elite soldiers in the city. Even if you put a dog on it, as long as it stays there and doesn’t bark, it can guard for more than ten days. Wei Lang has absolutely legitimate reasons to stop it. Huo Zhun collected food before the war started, so there is absolutely no possibility that Xianbei is going to fight Liang."

After she said this long list, Huo Yunwan rested her chin and seemed to be listening carefully, but she just replied lazily: "You said so powerfully, you might not have kept it for a few days three years ago. Maybe the dragon chair is afraid The old things are repeating themselves, and you will mess up your own situation under your bad conscience. Just ask for it, what? You feel sorry for Mrs. Su, and you really have a mother-daughter relationship."

Xue Ling's complexion changed suddenly. Although she knew that she couldn't restrain herself and quickly lowered her head, Huo Yunwan could still feel the gloom on her body, and thought that she had offended Xue Ling by teasing Su Yuru. Although she had some complaints in her heart, she immediately coaxed Xue Ling to say: : "Why are you getting annoyed all of a sudden? I'm just joking. If you really feel sorry for me, it's a big deal. I'll play around and save more for her."

Before Xue Ling recovered, Huo Yunwan stretched out his hand as if to push her, touched the air with her fingertips and then retracted, coaxing: "Forget it, leave it to her, leave it to her, don't be angry", she suddenly changed With a tone of innocence and evil, he quickly muttered: "Leave her life too, let's do it."

Xue Ling's nose bulged, and after letting out a long breath, he said coldly, "I don't care about her."She really didn't care about Su Yuru, she just heard Huo Yunwan say that Pingcheng and Ningcheng were vulnerable three years ago, so she suddenly remembered.
Remembering Xue Yihan's soldier talisman is still missing.
