The concubine is so charming

Chapter 578
Su Yao looked around the city with a smoke basket, and only a short day and night passed. Although there was still a sense of bleakness, his mental outlook had taken on a new look: "Things went much smoother than expected."

"That's right, I thought that the people here would listen to the rumors and treat Miss and the people in Ghost Doctor Valley like snakes and scorpions. Thinking about it this way, it won't take long for Miss's reputation to be completely reversed."

Su Yao sighed without any trace: "It's not so easy. This is the first city we encountered. Now that we have sufficient material and financial resources, and we are on the brink of prosperity, we are full of patience and high interest. In addition, hammer mountain city You have also seen the situation here. The people here thought that there was no life at all, so there was not much resistance to our arrival in their hearts. It went so well."

"It's all about human effort. The young lady told the servant girl this sentence. Now the servant girl is also using this sentence to persuade the young lady. If it really doesn't work, we still have the Huhe Tribe as a way out, so the young lady doesn't have to push herself too hard." What happened yesterday not only frightened Chu Feiyan, but also Yanluo, Yufu and others worried all night. Fortunately, Su Yao looked good today, which made them feel a little relieved.

Su Yao smiled and nodded: "I see."

Su Yao walked around the city, and everywhere she went, people advised her to take good care of her health, which made her a little dumbfounded for a while, so she simply stayed out and continued to cause trouble for others, and went back to the tent to accompany Xiao Chenxi .

Not long after, Yufu came to report: "Miss, Prime Minister Chu asked you to come over and discuss matters."

"I see."

Su Yao changed his clothes and came to the main camp. The camp was already full of people, all of them were generals who commanded the soldiers. When they saw Su Yao coming in, they all got up and said hello.

Su Yao nodded her head one by one, and was wondering where she should sit when she saw Chu Feiyan winking at her.

Looking at the vacant seat beside him, Su Yao hesitated: that seat represents too high a status, she is the daughter of the leader of the Huhe Tribe, sitting there would make people feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that Su Yao hesitated, Chu Feiyan stood up straight up: "Miss Su, come and sit here."

In front of everyone, using such an affectionate title as Yao'er would make people look down on Su Yao, so Chu Feiyan simply and neatly changed the title.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Chu."

After Su Yao sat down, Mu Qingchen hurriedly walked in: "Everyone is here, the city lord will speak straight to the point. The situation in Chushan City is not accidental. Before the army went out, I sent people to investigate. Now that the news has been collected, you all should listen to it with me."

The leader of the dark guard who was in charge of investigating the situation in various places came to report: "Reporting to the city lord, according to the information obtained so far, there are about 28 cities infected with the disease, and in all the cities where the disease spread, the county guards died overnight. , and then the officials below used the excuse of uniform distribution of food to collect the surplus food in the hands of the people one after another, and then these officials disappeared without a trace together with the food."

Discussions suddenly started in the tents: "If this is the case, the people will face the epidemic and have no food in their hands. Isn't it in a particularly critical situation?"

"Chammer Mountain City is very close to Liangzhou City, so we were able to rescue in time, but the army is moving slowly. When we rush over, it is impossible to say that the people in other cities have already died. What should we do? ?”

"Where did so much food go? It couldn't have disappeared in the blink of an eye, and those officials didn't have the ability to go through the sky."

"If food can be found and distributed, at least the people can survive."

"That's right on point..."

Mu Qingchen lightly raised her hand, and the tent immediately became quiet: "Your lords' discussion is very reasonable. The city lord has sent people to investigate, but the investigation results are not optimistic. I suspect that there is something written by the imperial court. .”

"The imperial court?" Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, "If the imperial court does this, is it digging their own grave?"

"The people are the foundation of the country. If the people cease to exist, the Da'an Dynasty will be an empty shell, and the court will become a joke."

Su Yao's eyebrows twitched. This style of behavior is very similar to Mu Cixiu, but Mu Cixiu is locked in the big camp, so does he still have the ability to plan and arrange?
At this moment, a guard quickly ran in: "Reporting to the city lord, the imperial court sent someone to send a letter, saying that it was for Miss Su to personally open it."

"Give it to my sister?" Mu Qingchen's face was unfriendly, "Bring up the letter, I'll have a look at it first."

"Yes."

Mu Qingchen opened the envelope, read the contents of the letter at a glance, and a look of anger flashed across his face.

Su Yao raised his eyes: "City Lord, since you specified it to me, why don't you let me have a look."

"It's full of nonsense, sister, don't worry about it." Mu Qingchen quickly refused, directly rolled up the letter, and threw it into the tea on the table.

Su Yao's eyes fell on the teacup, always feeling that something was wrong with Mu Qingchen's mood.

Chu Feiyan glanced at Su Yao reassuringly, and then said: "Whether the confiscation of grain was ordered by the imperial court or not, its purpose is very clear, it is nothing more than to slow down our marching into the capital. I have someone sort it out." An account book, you can take a look at it."

The famous minister immediately handed over the copied accounts to the generals.

Chu Feiyan went on to say: "This is an account book made according to the current population of Hammer Mountain City. It records the supplies needed to save all the people in the city. Among them is only food. The huge amount is already a headache. If Including other cities, this huge amount is absolutely beyond the reach of our Liangzhou defenders."

Someone couldn't help asking: "Prime Minister Chu, isn't there a large amount of money gathered in the Huitong Bank? Can the money be used?"

"I can use the money, but in this situation, can I buy food with money?" Chu Feiyan asked flatly.

"That's right, it's in such a state of chaos now, and all the food in the hands of the people in the city has been taken away. Even if we hold money, I'm afraid we won't be able to buy anything."

"How should this be..."

The current situation is a headache to think about.

"So the most important thing is to find a way to find the food that has been transported away, otherwise, there is no way to solve the current crisis." When the discussion was almost over, Chu Feiyan made a final decision.

"What Prime Minister Chu said is that the sooner the whereabouts of that batch of grain can be found, the more hope the people will have."

At this moment, another guard came to report: "Reporting to the city lord, the imperial court sent someone to send a letter again, and also said a word..."

Mu Qingchen's already icy expression became even colder: "What are you talking about?"

"The person who sent the letter said that Miss Su must open this letter in person, so I don't need to bother the city lord for help. He also said that the letter recorded how to solve the current crisis."
