Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 298 put a long line to catch big fish
After reading the letter, the queen put it on the candle and lit it. Is there anything to eat at the border?It deserves it, no one will end up well with their Yan family.

Mammy couldn't help interjecting: "Should we find a way to hide the matter of food and grass from Concubine Ji?"

The queen waved her hand: "No need."

The mother said: "Your Majesty, you really believe that Concubine Ji Gui will be on His Highness's side?"

The queen said something that was not easy for others to understand: "Who made the emperor look too much like the dead Emperor Ren, and the third child looks too much like His Majesty."

Mammy savored the meaning carefully, and quietly retreated.

After returning to the kitchen with the bowl of blood swallows, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, and the nanny slapped it away: "What are you doing? I'm going to scare your mother."

The little palace maid Chunliu pouted: "It must be that the empress is too tired to drink it again? Mother, you just give it to me. I don't dislike the leftovers from the empress. It's so expensive, it's a waste!"

But the nanny poured the blood swallow into the slop bucket without hesitation: "Don't even think about it, how many times have I told you that no one is allowed to touch the things used by the empress, unless you want to die!"

Once upon a time, there was a court lady who ate cakes that the empress had bitten, and she was beaten to death. Chunliu rubbed her arms: "I know, I know, I just don't want to drink it." The richer the person, the more problems !
How many people outside can't eat, but the empress only takes one bite of such a good thing.

……

At the border, Rong Yan confirmed again: "Has the letter about food and grass been delivered?"

Yuner replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the urgent document is eight hundred miles away, and Yun Zhe also sent a message, saying that His Majesty was very angry because of this incident."

Rong Yan sneered: "What's the use of getting angry, it's true that the food is delivered earlier."

Yun Er frowned: "This bandit is really courageous, even the official Liang dares to change his mind."

Rong Yan flipped through the military newspaper for a while, then turned around and asked, "Do you really think this was done by bandits?"

Yun Er was puzzled, Rong Yan said: "How could the bandits see such a large army and have the guts to provoke them?"

"Furthermore, the bandits act for the sake of profit. Why is it necessary to burn the food and grass at the risk of being hunted down by the officers and soldiers? They also do it without anyone noticing, and there is no chance of saving them."

Yun Er stared wide-eyed: "Master, what do you mean?"

Rong Yan's expression was cold: "Go and find out the spies."

Not to mention him, even Yun Er, who now hates the word "spies".

He gritted his teeth: "Yes!"

After Rong Yan arranged the matter, he was still puzzled, his father was also extremely anxious about the border issue, why did he not make up for the food and grass now?With so many officers and soldiers, if they don't have enough to eat, how can they go to battle to kill the enemy?
"Come here, borrow food from the surroundings first, remember to be polite to the people, and never let troubles hurt people."

However, the frontier is so difficult, and the common people can't eat enough to eat, so how can they gather extra food.

"In addition, send people to the government offices in the surrounding towns to ask for help, let them open granaries, and when the grain from the capital arrives, return it to them immediately."

What is disturbing is that the nearby government officials all say that in recent years the grain has not been harvested, and the granary is empty, and only some old grain is reluctantly delivered, and some are even moldy.

Rong Yan suppressed his anger: "Sort the food, remove the moldy ones, organize the edible ones, dry them, and store them properly."

Yuner asked, "Do you want to throw away the moldy ones?"

Rong Yan sighed: "For now... keep it, and hope that there will be a day when you don't need it."

"You ask Twelve to bring some people, and then go to the town to find a grain merchant to buy grain, even if the price is high, you will accept it."

Yun Er worried: "But master, you have bought a lot of medicinal materials with your own money on the way here, we... don't have much left... The current food is still enough for a while, why don't you wait?"

The Third Prince's Mansion was not as rich as those other princes, and no one thought that there would be a shortage of money at the border when they went out, so they didn't bring much money.

Rong Yan's tone was firm: "Buy first and talk later, you can find a solution at any time for money, but you can't wait for food and grass."

"Besides, the longer you wait, the more those profiteers will open their mouths."

Yuner felt that the master was right, so he immediately went to deliver the order.

All the subordinates of the third prince were dispatched to search for more food and grass, but the effect would not be seen in a short time. Yuner was very worried that the remaining food would soon run out.

The fierce Hu didn't move yet, so Rong Yan had to change the rice into thick porridge first, and then add some dried meat to it to add oil and water. The soldiers ate in silence, all tightening their belts.

The destruction of food and grass could not be concealed, and the fire in the barracks that night burned into everyone's heart, so when the spy was caught, every soldier wanted to go up and chop him. He was hung in front of the tent for three days and three nights, Every night someone came to want his life.

Death is terrible, but that's just a matter of raising a knife and falling, it can't compare to the pain of being frightened every night, but not dying...

Fortunately, after several failed assassinations, in order to ensure his safety, Rong Yan brought him into his tent, with a complicated expression on his face: "Are you from the Yan family?"

The spy kept silent, but Rong Yan let him go.

Knowing that every time he wanted to kill the turtle grandson, he was blocked by the people of the Third Highness. The soldiers in the army complained a lot. They all felt that the Third Highness was not a person on the battlefield. It reaches its peak when the person is about to be released.

Several lieutenants rushed into Rong Yan's tent to argue with him, who knew that the three highnesses would not enter, so they tied up the lieutenants and threw them out of the tent, ordering them to be strictly guarded.

The lieutenants who were treated as prisoners were furious, even though they were tied up, they still cursed and said all kinds of ugly words.

Yun Wei, who was in charge of guarding, was angry, but he followed His Highness's order and did not argue with them.

The spy was let go under such circumstances, before leaving, he saluted Rong Yan.

"Those who know the current affairs are heroes, it seems that His Highness the Third Highness is a smart person."

"After I go back, I will tell my master that His Highness does not want to be our... enemy."

He didn't mention the Yan family at all, but Rong Yan couldn't guess it.

When he was far away, Rong Yan walked into where the lieutenants were and untied the ropes for them.

The lieutenants rolled their eyes and were about to scold hypocrisy, but they heard him ask: "Generals, do you dare to take revenge with the boy?"

The deputy generals were puzzled, Rong Yan patiently said: "There were a lot of people who attacked the camp that day, and they appeared suddenly, there must be a place for them to hide nearby."

"Among the spies caught, only this one is the most timid and life-threatening, and the brains are the least clever. Follow him, and you will gain a lot."

Of course there was more than one spy, but those who desperately resisted the loyalty were all killed, and they were all killed in front of this person.

Judging from the fact that he was stunned and incontinent, this person must be greedy for life and afraid of death.

Your Highness is not letting the tiger go back to the mountain, but fishing for big fish with a long line.
