Destiny Blessed Girl

Chapter 253 Big Money

She knows how strong Huai Gu is. Even if Chu Yuanyan is cured by his master, it is impossible to kill Huai Gu easily. Otherwise, how could the two of you come and go on the battlefield for so many years without being able to kill him? drop each other.Chu Yuanyan must have paid a huge price for beheading Huaigu this time.

Seeing that she cared so much about Chu Yuanyan, Ye Canglan felt very uncomfortable, sour and astringent.

"He was seriously injured, but he shouldn't be in danger of his life. This book was written by him himself, and he also asked me for food. The northern border is also short of food."

The northern border is larger than the eastern border, and the population is several times that of the eastern border. When there is a war, the refugees in the northern border are much less than the eastern border and the southern border. This is what Ye Canglan couldn't figure out for a while.

However, the lack of food in the northern border was beyond his expectations. Whether it was Dongli Kingdom, Nanzhao Kingdom or Nanli Kingdom, the timing of their choice of war was obviously calculated. They deliberately chose the time around the autumn harvest. When the grain was harvested from the fields, the looting army came and killed it. Not only was the grain stored in the people's homes wiped out, but even the grain tax just collected by the county government was also robbed. That's why there are so many people. The refugee background leaves the country.And those crops that haven't had time to harvest will inevitably be destroyed by humans. The passage of an army is no worse than the passage of locusts.

The people could not pay the food tax, and the local army had no military food available, and they all relied on the imperial court to allocate food.

And when the two armies are at war and their strengths are similar, whoever has more food and grass will naturally survive to the end and win.

So the prince started to run into trouble at this moment. There is food in Kyoto, but there is a lot of it. There is no way to call too much at once. After all, the population of Kyoto is nearly one million.

The two discussed for a while, and Gu Zhi'an suggested that the prince should send a batch of grain to Yunzhou and Yuecheng first, and she would decide the rest, but she needed to withdraw a batch of grain purchase money from the treasury.

The crown prince agreed straight away, he believed in Gu Zhian's ability, and he also believed that he would not misunderstand the person, he was not at ease in entrusting this matter to others, only a person with a righteous heart like Gu Zhian is the best candidate.

As soon as the agreement was reached, Gu Zhian took the prince's handwritten letter and went directly to the household department to collect the money.

The Ministry of Households was unwilling at first, and he received such a large sum of money as soon as he said he would, and he was still a person without an official or a job.

The prince came to the household department in person, and only left a sentence: "In this case, your household department will see who has the ability to complete this matter, just go, anyone can get the money, as long as you don't let Yunzhou and The people of Moon City and the hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the city can just go hungry. However, the ugly words of this Palace will be mentioned first, and if the food and grass cannot be delivered in time, all the consequences caused by it will be borne by the person in charge."

No one in the household department dared to speak anymore, not only the household department, but also the other departments. Who would dare to take such an errand?It should be done well, and if it is not done well, it will be the crime of beheading.

So Gu Zhian received a large sum of money, thanked the prince immediately and left the palace.

Ouyang Jingcheng left the palace earlier than her, and he was strolling in the streets of the capital city, looking at the bustling streets, and thinking of the tragic border war, he was not without emotion, when he passed by a silver building, two girls came out of it, Holding a bunch of things in their hands, all smiling.

Ouyang Jingcheng felt familiar, and suddenly remembered, aren't these the two maids next to An Yatou?
Ouyang Jingcheng stepped forward and stopped the two of them, "Why are you here? Where's your lady?"

Hongying and Langqiao didn't expect to meet Uncle Cheng here, and they both saluted and said hello.

Hongying smiled and said: "My lady has something to do, we left separately today, why is Mr. Cheng here?"

Ouyang Jingcheng was about to ask about Miss An's recent situation, when suddenly a carriage stopped beside them, and a maid got out of the carriage in a hurry, and said to Ouyang Jingcheng: "Patriarch, Miss Seven is not feeling well, please take a look."

Ouyang Jingcheng's face turned serious, and he didn't bother to ask other questions, he just asked Hongying, "Where do you live? I'll come to you when I'm free."
