Chapter 715
"Horse meat is not good, you should eat pork, chicken and fish."

Qing Li rested her chin on her hand, and looked at the money in the space. A lot of the bandits robbed last time were government money, and they couldn't spend it. It's better to buy it for Chunyu Jian. She always felt that ill-gotten gains , come and go quickly, can't wait to spread the money.

"Actually, for so many years, the money earned from the Cuihua Building alone cannot support the daily military supplies of the 30 troops in the Northland."

Qingli has calculated that Cuihua Building can go to the outer sea three to four times a year, and each time it can earn at least 20 taels of silver. If it is calculated over a year, it will be 80 taels. Down, it is not enough to spend, just the supplies for the soldiers in the north, the cotton clothes alone will cost this amount, and the daily food, horses, medicinal materials, etc. will be counted separately.Every autumn, veterans will retire, and recruits will serve in various places in Dazhou.

In Dazhou, there are also certain regulations for recruits to serve in the military. They must be between the ages of 12 and 28, and they must not be alone. Strong labor.

Chunyu Fan did another calculation for Qingli. After reading it, Qingli finally understood why Emperor Hongde was so stingy, because the treasury was empty. Dazhou and Daqin had been fighting each other for so many years. For the monthly salary of Zhou officials, if there is a disaster, they will have to transfer two taels of silver from the state treasury.

"If things go well, you can still eat free pork."

Qingli pouted at Chunyu Wen, thinking of the look in Ji Pan's eyes when he mentioned him, making her feel uncomfortable.It's like a weasel looking at a chicken with fiery eyes. In the capital, I have never heard of Chunyu's devil attracting peach blossoms. In the past, Bai Ruochen said that the Northland is his world, and he is the king of the Northland. That's right.

"is it?"

When Chunyu Wen heard Qing Li talking about Ji Pan, his face was expressionless, and he felt a little complacent in his heart. From this point of view, it's not like his little girl doesn't care about him.As for the concubine from the magistrate's family, it has nothing to do with him. If she wants to come forward, she will just use the hilt of her sword to fly her away. He is very skilled in doing such things.

"Humph."

Even if Chunyu knows the devil, otherwise, she couldn't help but want to pinch his face, like on the Dragon Boat Festival, imprint a row of teeth marks, and see how he would lead the army to fight with the teeth marks.

Together, the two talked about the situation in the Northland, and also talked about what they had seen and heard on the road after more than a month of separation.During the period, Liu Daniu came to report again, and learned that Daqin was indeed bluffing. After tossing around, he washed up and fell asleep.I really hope that Muyang in the south will take it back quickly, and the army in the north of the city will not have any worries, and will not be passively defending the city as it is now.

When Qingli left, Chunyu Wen stood at the door of the big tent to see him off. The two of them met each other's eyes, and they both found a trace of reluctance. Meetings are always short-lived.

Going back to Chunyu's small courtyard with Mai Dong, Qingli lay on the bed, thinking about it, or let Yuyou come out to guard, and she went into the space to collect food.The grain is ripe, golden, and there is a smell of wheat in the space.

Standing next to the Lingquan pond, looking at the dark fish inside, they can no longer swim. The sea fish is too conspicuous to take out, but the river fish can't. She still needs to study how to get these river fish out of the space, so as to supplement the soldiers. , relying on the consumption of the family alone, can't finish it in a lifetime.

With nothing else to do, she moved the silver that she had robbed from the Bandits of the Cutting Hand Party from the warehouse to the open space outside the house. There were a total of twelve boxes with official silver seals, and each box contained as much as 5 taels. Twelve boxes are 60 taels. At the subsidy point, new cotton-padded clothes and quilts can be distributed to soldiers this winter. The inside is made of soft cotton, which is very warm.And now we have to start preparations, Pingyang City is colder than Fengyang, people often freeze to death every year.

The next morning, Qingli got up early as usual, and Nanny Yu prepared the breakfast herself. In addition to her favorite red dates and millet porridge, she also prepared small flower rolls and two side dishes. When going out, Qingli didn't pay too much attention. Hastily used breakfast.

"Nurse Yu, pack up the presents I prepared for Sister Chun'er."

It’s still the same old way to give Qingli to others. Jade jewelry heads, gold and silver items are better exchanged for food in wars. It is said that gold is priceless and jade is priceless. Jade jewelry is just good-looking. No big effect.

At that time, Qingli took Yumao and Mai Dong to the back office of the magistrate, and the maid who came out to greet her was also Qingli's old acquaintance, it was Dongmei, she was still chirping as usual, "Miss Qingli, you and the four It has changed so much years ago that the servants can barely recognize it."

"That's right, Dongmei, how's Miss Chun'er doing all these years here?"

Zhao Wanchun may be scheming, but her maid Dongmei is careless. More than four years ago, when she and Zhao Wanchun went to offer incense together, Dongmei treated Beitang's transformed maid Qiujing a little differently. But at that time, Qing Li never thought that Qiu Jing was a man, she only thought that he was tall and good at martial arts, and thought that Master Zhao had invited him to protect Zhao Wanchun.

"Miss is doing okay, but she has been forced to kiss by the master."

Dongmei couldn't hide her words, she hesitated at first, but later she saw that Qingli was not an outsider, so she simply explained.Zhao Wanchun is already 19 years old, and it's time to get married. Even if it can be delayed for two years, she still has to get married first, but she disagrees with life and death, and always resists with various reasons. In the end, Mr. Zhao has no choice but to give up, but every time After a while, she would find several portraits of men and let her choose.

Qingli nodded but didn't take it seriously. The first time she and Dongmei met for this kind of private matter, the other party told her that there might be something tricky about it.Maybe she didn't care too much before, because she always had a grateful heart. When Zhao Wanqing was killed more than four years ago, this kind of friendship slowly faded and was exhausted. She came here to inquire about news.

"Sister Li!"

Zhao Wanchun heard the sound of footsteps and came out of the side hall. She was still the same as before, like a white lotus in the rain, fresh and comfortable to look at. Her eyes were full of smiles, making people feel her good mood.

"Miss Chun'er."

Who doesn't know how to act!Qingli walked forward quickly, held Zhao Wanchun's hand, her eyes were full of mist, "Why haven't you contacted me for so many years, I really miss Miss Chun'er."

"Sister Li has grown up, she is not the young girl she was back then."

Zhao Wanchun welcomed Qingli into the side hall, and the maidservant brought tea and water, very busy.

It is also the daughter of the magistrate's family, Ji You's side hall is narrow and dark, and there is no decoration, but Zhao Wanchun's side hall is very bright, once entering the door, there are two pots of green bamboo on both sides, surrounded by landscapes, flowers and birds, calligraphy and paintings, There are rosewood tables and chairs, as well as the antique porcelain vase, and an ice basin is placed in the corner.This ice basin is even more luxurious, it is carved out of jade.
