spend time

Chen Jinyu didn't mean to pour cold water on her, she was talking about real problems that may occur.

Jiang Shaohua sighed softly: "If you want to do something, you have to take some risks. Now that Nanyang County is rich in food, it is really unbearable for me to watch people in northern counties starve to death one after another."

To ensure that the people of Nanyang would not go hungry, she had to take action.

This is her due responsibility as the Nanyang Princess of the Jiang clan.

Chen Zhuo looked at the princess approvingly: "Since the princess has made a decision, I will go and write the official document."

Jiang Shaohua nodded briefly and specifically asked: "In addition to official documents, write a letter to all county magistrates. Don't be impatient about exchanging grain, let alone bully the people."

Chen Zhuo raised his eyebrows and smiled domineeringly: "They don't dare to borrow their courage, Princess, please relax."

Jiang Shaohua hummed, his heart still heavy.

In his previous life, Emperor Taikang died of a stroke. Calculating the time, there is only less than a year left.

After Emperor Taikang passed away, the young prince succeeded to the throne. The tribes outside the pass took advantage of the instability in the Daliang Dynasty and brazenly sent troops to invade the border. The Daliang Dynasty continued to have wars for years, the country's fortunes declined, and the people's lives were difficult. Especially for the people in the north, life has been miserable from drought to locust plagues to war. It is too horrible to see people dying of hunger and corpses floating all over the fields.

Returning to her first life, she has been preparing for the coming troubled times. However, when the prologue kicked off, I was still feeling gloomy and confused.

Chen Changshi was busy writing official documents. Chen Jinyu accompanied the princess. Seeing that the princess was worried, he opened his mouth to explain: "The emperor, the prince, Prime Minister Wang, and the Queen Mother and Duke An are worried about the affairs of the court. We Nanyang is far away from the capital, and the capital is in chaos, but our Nanyang County is not in trouble. "

Jiang Shaohua looked at Chen Jinyu: "You are a little naive to think so. Only when the capital is stable and the court is stable can the world be stable. We can also live a stable life in Nanyang. Once there is chaos in the court, the world will be in chaos. In troubled times, we can think of something to do. How difficult it is to live a stable life.”

Chen Jinyu scratched his head: "What should we do?"

Jiang Shaohua was silent for a moment and whispered: "Do what I can do first. When that day comes, I will have enough power to protect the Nanyang Palace and the safety of the people of Nanyang County."

……

On the same day, the official documents and letters from the palace were quickly sent out. The distance between the fourteen counties varies. The nearest one can be reached in half a day, and the farthest one takes five or six days to travel.

The magistrates of various counties quickly became busy.

For the people, exchanging food is a good thing. After all, corn and sweet potatoes are new grains, so I’m not used to eating them. Leave enough grain seeds and replace the remaining corn and sweet potatoes with wheat, millet, rice and beans. The people were very happy.

Soon, the food in the Taiping granary was gradually replaced.

Speaking of granaries, we have to mention Xi'e Tangjia.

In the past two years, the Tang family has made great efforts to buy and store grain. Mr. Tangwu also became a guest of the palace, and had a place at the palace's spring banquet for two consecutive years. This is a supreme honor for the Tang family. Mr. Tang Wu's position as head of the family is as secure as a mountain, and no one can shake it.

Now, the Tang family is in trouble.

The north suffered from two years of drought, and the imperial court collected grain from the south to provide relief. Under such circumstances, the Tang family's channels for buying food suddenly dropped by 80%. The remaining 20% ​​had to be bought quietly and shipped back quietly. Once you encounter rioting hungry people on the road robbing food, you will lose everything.

On this day, Mr. Tang Wu received such bad news.

A group of five people who went out to buy food encountered bandits along the way. Not only was all the food taken away, but several servants who were transporting the food were also beaten to death. Two men from the Tang family also suffered disaster. When the bad news came, Mr. Tang Wu looked extremely ugly.

While trying his best to comfort the wailing female family members, he sent people to rush to the palace to deliver the message.

The princess said that the Tang family was buying food for Nanyang County. If something happens, the princess will definitely support the Tang family.

"It's obvious that I'm just trying to coax you. Do you dare to believe it?" Mr. Tang, who had been idle for more than two years, spat at Mr. Tang Wu: "Not to mention that I was robbed of a thousand shi of food this time. Two direct descendants of the Tang family have died, and a dozen servants have died. I want to see how you clean up this mess."

Mr. Tang Wu was full of quarrels, his eyes were red, and he said decisively: "I believe that the princess will definitely make the decision for the Tang family."

Mrs. Tang snorted coldly: "Then just wait and see! If the princess is unwilling to do this for the Tang family, you, the head of the family, will stop doing it."

During the three days of waiting for the news, Mr. Tang Wu lost a lot of weight as if he was being roasted in oil.

Three days later, the Nanyang Palace sent someone.

The person who came to deliver the letter was Qin Hu, a close confidant of the princess.

Qin Hu got off his horse, took out a letter from his arms and gave it to Mr. Tang Wu: "This is a letter written by the princess. Please read it to Mr. Tang Wu."

Jiang Shaohua paid a courtesy visit to Mr. Tang Wu, which was known to everyone in the palace. Qin Hu, as the princess's personal guard, was even more aware of this and was very polite to Mr. Tang Wu at this time.

Mr. Tang Wu's anxious mood was greatly relieved when he saw the princess's letter. After I opened the letter and read it, I was even more excited and choked with tears: "The princess has treated the Tang family so well. I, Tang, will be the princess's loyal dog in five days."

Qin Hu whispered to comfort the agitated Master Tang Wu: "The princess was very angry when she learned that the food was stolen by bandits. The princess has written two letters, one to you, and the other has been sent to the Nanyang military camp. In a few days, the Nanyang Army will send troops to suppress the bandits, take back the food, and avenge the Tang family's children. "

Mr. Tang Wu wiped away his tears heavily and said: "The Nanyang Army is the imperial army after all. If we send troops on the order of the princess, will it cause taboos in the imperial court?"

Otherwise, Mr. Tang Wu would be able to win the princess's favor. It's now, but I haven't let hatred go to my head, and I still know how to think about the princess.

Qin Hu's eyes became gentler when he looked at Mr. Tang Wu: "Don't worry, the princess has already written a memorial and sent it to the court."

Writing memorials while sending troops is a complete process. At present, the court is in chaos due to the death of Emperor Taikang. How can it care about the Nanyang Army?
Mr. Tang Wu thought for a while and said: "The Tang family cannot just watch when the Nanyang Army sends troops. Someone must lead the army. I will go to the Nanyang Army now."

Mr. Tang Wu actually wanted to lead the way in person.

What a man!
Qin Hu gave Mr. Tang Wu a thumbs up, and without saying anything to persuade him, he opened his mouth and said, "I will go with Mr. Tang Wu."

Mr. Tang on the side opened his mouth and wanted to say something. After seeing Mr. Tang Wu's resolute face, he suddenly couldn't say anything.

For more than two years, every time he thought about a brother from his mother's mother taking over the position of head of the family, his heart was filled with fire. At this moment, he suddenly woke up.

The head of the Tang family should indeed be Tang Wu.
