Chapter 186

Prince Xiang sighed and said:
"What will happen to the flood in the south of the Yangtze River is still unpredictable, but it will inevitably affect this year's harvest. Originally, this trip to the south also had the purpose of raising food, but now it is even more difficult! The war is together, and I don't know when it will end. The supply of food and grass is natural. There can be no mistakes, but there are wars in the three places, and there are floods in the south of the Yangtze River, so the court...is difficult!"

"Call my father and brother to help the prince raise food and grass!"

Prince Xiang's eyes lit up.

"The Qin family has been doing a lot of business over the years, and has earned a lot of money. If you don't use it to help the court at this time, when will you behave? Besides, even if the family is wiped out now, the emperor will not help our family to make up for it in the future? My father and brother I have some experience in coordinating this area, let them come to help Brother Shangjiu, maybe some merchants see the Qin family moving, and follow suit, wouldn't that be the best."

Prince Xiang was very active, and immediately asked, "When will they arrive at the earliest?"

"Let Yu'er send the letter, they will set off as soon as they receive the letter, I think they will arrive within three to five days." Qin Wubing changed the eldest princess into Yu'er without even thinking about it, even his uncle and brother shouted Alright, it shouldn't be a problem to call out baby names.

"Good! Good! Good!" Prince Xiang said three good things in a row, but he really didn't care about Qin Wubing's title, and then said excitedly: "I am currently short of people, very short of people! Your father is four brothers , call them all, in your generation of the fourth house of the Qin family, there are seven people who follow the elders outside, leaving two people to take care of your own business, and call the rest! Now is the time to burn money, you If you can take care of the overall situation like this, the emperor will reward you heavily afterward, hey, we are all a family, so it’s easy to talk about, it’s easy to talk about!”

Qin Wubing was startled, and he hurriedly asked: "My ancestors have eighteen generations, and Brother Ninth ordered someone to find out? There are still a few younger sisters in my family who have not left the court, and younger brothers who are not married. Will Ninth Brother also help Let's see who's right for you?"

Prince Xiang laughed loudly: "As long as you pass this level, it's easy to say, easy to say!"

"Ninth brother! Seventh uncle got married..." Qin Wubing took advantage of Prince Xiang's good mood, and asked tentatively.

Prince Xiang restrained his smile, was silent for a moment and said:

"You're right, as long as Uncle Qi understands it thoroughly, it will be a blessing for future generations!"

Qin Wubing raised his eyebrows and asked: "So in the post house, no matter what we say, brother Jiu will know?"

"It should be said that I only know what I want to know and listen to everything. Can I do other things?"

"Come on, I'm relieved to have Brother Nine's words! Brother Nine, please take care of Yu'er and don't let her go to Xining!"

"I can't stand her, it's your business!"

Qin Wubing was stunned for a moment, thinking that no one can control the eldest princess' temperament, but if he can control it...

"Then I'm off to work!"

Qin Wubing stood up and walked straight out of the room. Prince Xiang sat there and smiled, then suddenly withdrew his smile and muttered: "Brother Huang, protect him and come back safely!"

……

Qin Wubing felt that he was quite busy, and when he went back to his room to drink water, Xiao Fu and Xiao Si came back. Before the two of them reported their work, the Eldest Princess opened the door and came in.

"Sit down first, I'm going to find you, let's listen to them first."

"I'm going to make a new pot of tea for Seventh Young Mistress." Xiao Si picked up the teapot on the table and started to leave.

"Why haven't I seen you take care of me like this on weekdays?" Qin Wubing asked Xiao Si while staring at him.

Xiao Si thought for a while and said seriously: "Maybe it's because the Seventh Young Master is not as good-looking as the Seventh Young Mistress."

The Eldest Princess giggled, and Qin Wubing gave Xiao Si a thumbs up.

Xiaosi calmly went out with the teapot, Xiaofu hurriedly said:

"That Mr. Zhao is really poor. His father hurt his waist while doing farm work last year. His mother caught wind and cold in winter. Although her life was saved, she kept coughing and she was too thin. He has seven younger brothers. Sister, the youngest is only four years old, we left 20 taels of silver, which is not a small amount for people like them, but Zhao Da’s mother brought seven children to us and knelt down to us, saying that we don’t want the money, can we let Zhao Da go. "

Qin Wubing frowned and looked at the eldest princess. What surprised him was not that his family pleaded for Zhao Da, but that such a poor family still put family affection as the most important thing.

"What did you say?" Qin Wubing asked Xiao Fu.

"I said, 'You take the money, you should see a doctor, you should buy food, you have to live first, Zhao Da did something wrong, my master promised to intercede for him, but there will be punishment.' Zhao Da The mother cried, saying that it is impossible for the children to suffer in prison, and they enjoy happiness outside."

"They didn't ask for money in the end?" the Eldest Princess asked.

"Yes, Xiao Si told them, 'My master meant well, and Zhao Da is also filial. Since you don't appreciate it, then you will continue to be sick and hungry, and let Zhao Da be in a hurry in prison. Anyway, what my master promised It’s done, even if Zhao Da dies in prison, it’s useless, who made him have a confused parent!’”

At this moment, Xiao Si just came in with a teapot, pouring tea for the Eldest Princess and saying:

"I'm not that polite. I just said that they don't know what's good or bad. They only think about their own comfort. They didn't think about how much Zhao Da missed them in prison, and how they would suffer! Giving money is not to make them popular. Spicy ones, silky ones, I said, 'You and your wife are the only ones to see a doctor, I'm afraid it's almost enough, but it's just so that you can live until Zhao Da comes home!' They took the money."

Xiao Fu said again:

"After we came out, we inquired with the people in the village. The villagers said that some people saw that his family had many children and they couldn't eat enough, so they told Zhao Da's parents that they had sold the three daughters in the family. Zhao Da's father was annoyed and almost Do it, and say that the family will die together even if they starve to death, and they have no face to sell their daughter's money."

Qin Wubing sighed and said: "The couple really love their children."

The eldest princess pouted and said: "The law also needs to be based on human feelings. I will ask Brother Jiu to find the governor of Jinling."

"Since breaking the law, there must be punishment, but we can also change the method. At present, whether it is the river or the barracks, there is a shortage of people. It is better to choose a place for Zhao Da, which can be regarded as atonement."

"Then you take it with you, the soldiers of the capital guard on the river, I am afraid it will be difficult to integrate if he goes, but follow you, I think it is difficult for Brother Ninth to gather 5000 people, and more people will have more momentum. "

Xiao Fu and Xiao Si were a little dazed when they heard this, they stared at Qin Wubing, tried to speak a few times, but were stopped by Qin Wubing's eyes.
