Poor family mother and son

Chapter 904 Night ([-])

Chu Qing suffered from insomnia tonight.

Tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, in order not to disturb Huang Zhong and Master Lu's rest, Chu Qing got up quietly, walked out of the study room, went to the yard to bask in the moon and think about things.

Don't go back to sleep, hum, whether the two old people wake up at night or add tea, let Xiaobao take care of it by himself, so that you can't do business every day!

With such a child on the stall, which mother would not suffer from insomnia?

But even without Xiaobao's words, Chu Qing wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

First, Xu Guangze's messenger to Xiaobao was stopped by Chu Qing in the yard.

Knowing that Xiaobao and Xu Guangze secretly planned to plant those invisible "enemies" as "collaboration and treason" in the "conspiracy", I was overwhelmed with shock—this child is really hard to treat!

Before Chu Qing could react, Wei Chengyi came again, Chu Qing had no choice but to call Xiao Bao up in a hurry to find someone to receive Xu Guangze, and wait for Wei Chengyi by himself.

Wei Chengyi went up to the mountain to report in the middle of the night, saying that the peace talks between the imperial court and Voss had ended.

Salute and artillery, it seems that Voss chose salute.

That's right, it's meaningless to procrastinate, the more you procrastinate, the more you will pay.

More than 1000 people, including King Zuo Xian, detained in Xinlun Prefecture, and more than 1 prisoners of war from General Xue's troops were replaced with 20 taels of silver.

Moreover, the country of Voss needs to pay Daxuan 30 taels of silver, 30 pieces of raw silk, [-] Voss horses, and [-] cattle and sheep every year.

Ten years, and guarantee that no war will be launched within ten years.

On average, each person is worth more than ten taels of silver, which is worth more than Daxuan's people. Chu Qing lamented that Daxuan's pension was only five taels of silver.

The time limit is short enough. It seems that King Voss is confident that he can fight again after ten years of recuperation.

"What about the jade mine?" Chu Qing asked.

Wei Chengyi stretched out a slap: "Five-year mining period."

Chu Qing was confused: "Who talked about it! The ten-year truce period and the five-year mining period, aren't they very talkative, so where is it all?!"

Wei Chengyi: "Let me ask first, why do the 'unconscionable guns' made by the Ministry of Industry always fire dumb guns?"

Chu Qing: "What do you mean?"

Wei Chengyi: "The cannon made by the Ministry of Industry won't catch fire, but they obviously made it according to your drawings."

Chu Qing: "My cannon is nothing more than an iron tube. It's not the iron tube's fault if it fails to ignite. Their gunpowder is not effective."

Wei Chengyi: "So, at first, I thought that there was a cannon to be tough, but it turned out that the cannon was not strong, and they didn't have enough confidence, so they didn't dare to push the Voss people in a hurry;

Zheng Chunqiu was also fined for one year, and the emperor said that he couldn't make anything serious according to the blueprints. "

Chu Qing: "Why don't you ask the crime? A fine will be the end of the matter?"

Wei Chengyi: "Isn't that your in-laws? The emperor saved face for you."

Chu Qing: "Fuck!"

As for a parasite like TM, why didn't God accept him!
Wei Chengyi suggested: "Drink some tea first to suppress your anger, I haven't said anything more angry yet."

Chu Qing's eyes stood up: "Huh?!"

Wei Chengyi: "Xue Zhenghao handed in both the pleading sheet and the pleading sheet, saying that without that unreliable cannon, he could still beat the shit out of Voss;

He also said that Virat would be brought down directly. At that time, whether the court is willing to change jade mines or immigrants, anyway, let Virat change his surname from now on;

When it was over, he also sold a good boy by the way, saying that the rations of [-] prisoners of war would be deducted from his own salary, and besides that, he would ask for a three-year fine. "

Chu Qing: "What did the emperor say?"

Wei Chengyi: "Sure."

Chu Qing couldn't suppress his anger even if he poured cold water on it: Since he asked for a three-year fine, would he be able to pay for the crime of beheading? !
Chu Qing was circling back and forth in the yard, wanting to smash something to vent his anger, but when he looked around, apart from the stone locks and stone barbells he usually used for fitness, there were only stone tables and chairs and teacups on them.

This is all for use, it's a pity to drop it.

Wei Chengyi couldn't help but laugh: "Look at how promising you are, you'd be reluctant to smash it! You have another sip of tea, I haven't finished yet."

Chu Qing gave him a clear look: "Do you think I'm joking?"

Obediently, he picked up the teapot and poured cold tea directly into his mouth... and then sprayed the tea leaves.

Wei Chengyi: "In order to get rid of the job of making cannons, Zheng Chunqiu asked the emperor to personally undertake the mining of the Voss jade mine and supervise it on the spot..."

Wei Chengyi paused, Chu Qing spit out tea leaves and said, "Don't pant, finish talking!"

Wei Chengyi: "After the peace talks are settled, the fourth prince volunteered to undertake the jade mining. The emperor was hesitant at first. After all, the fourth prince is only a prince, and he was afraid that he would not understand management;

But with Zheng Chunqiu's proposal, the emperor agreed, and letting the fourth prince act as his deputy was also a chance for the prince to practice. "

Chu Qing rolled his eyes: "So, it's not because I'm trying to save face, it's because Zheng Chunqiu hooked up with the Fourth Prince?"

Wei Chengyi: "Probably."

Chu Qing understood that she was not even a piece of mouse droppings.

If you have yourself, people don't treat you as a jujube in the pot, and work together to remove them; without yourself, the pot of porridge in the court is still porridge, and it won't be porridge just because you are missing yourself.

People are porridge, not people who drink porridge, and they will not give up on themselves because of foreign objects in the pot; so if there is no self, people are still sticky and united.

Chu Qing felt suffocated by announcing the pot of porridge.

Even if Chu Qing won the battle, Xue Zhenghao's memorial made him worthless now.

Now, Chu Qing only has a high status in Daxuan, but no real power.

Her only remaining position as Secret Service Division is only in Vos Country, and it is in those 200 people, not Daxuan.

The imperial court raised her high, and then left it far away.

"Oh..." Chu Qing murmured: "People, you can't break away from society."

Wei Chengyi didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

Chu Qing turned her head and smirked at Wei Chengyi, "I said buddy, please do me a favor..."

Wei Chengyi turned around and left: "Shan Yuan! Just as bad as your son!"

Chu Qing hurriedly dragged him back: "Don't, big brother! Help me..."

*****************
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Xue Zhenghao ugly character camp.

The night has passed half a month and it is getting brighter, and nothing can be heard except the wind.

A small group of people sometimes stay still, and sometimes rush fast, the sound of the wind covers their footsteps, this is the season of the wind.

The cold wind blows gently, quietly enters people's clothes, steals away in winter, no sound can be heard, and the days pass by in a hurry, which makes people feel a lot of emotion.

Chouzi Camp is a prisoner-of-war camp arranged by Xue Zhenghao. It is a brick and stone warehouse located in the southwest corner of the barracks. It was originally used to store food, grass and armaments. Later, the roof was smashed by hail and rain, so it was vacant. Now it is used for detention prisoner of war.

The huge warehouse has only one door and one window. The door is covered with wooden boards and guarded by soldiers. The window is extremely small and is opened at the back. It is used to deliver food, but it is enough for a thin person to barely pass through.

The warehouse is very large, but tens of thousands of prisoners of war are imprisoned here, and the distance between people is no more than one palm, like a crowded elevator, but it is not cold.

I really don't know how they sleep at night.

Many prisoners of war had already leaned against the wall motionless, not knowing whether to live or die.

Only five sacks of steamed buns are stuffed into the small window every two days, and every time, the vast majority of people will not be able to eat.

In the first few days of detention, the prisoners near the window would snatch up the sacks when they were stuffed in, and then fight violently.

In this way, countless people were crushed and injured even if they did not participate in the battle, and during the scramble, those cornbreads would be snatched to pieces, dropped to the ground and trampled into scum, and no one could eat them.

After doing this two times and three times, these Voss realized that there were only two sacks of cornbread every two days. In order to ensure that more people were alive, they stopped robbing and shared food, but it was only enough Very few people can eat a bite.

Later, Xue Zhenghao allowed them to transport the dead people out, and also increased the five sacks of steamed buns to eight sacks, in order to prevent them from infecting the disease with dead people inside, and also to prevent them from starving to the point of cannibalism and causing downsizing, which would be detrimental to the peace talks.

But even with more food, these Voss people are not far from death.

But tonight is different.
