Chapter 104 Front Wing Length

On the way to Junbei, Tan Xiaojian caught up with Zheng Ling.

He was riding on the horse, throwing the silver in his hand, with a smug smile on his face,
"Look, Zheng Ling, they also asked for food, and I got a reward from my sister-in-law here."

Zheng Ling served as a soldier under Tan Ji's hand, and his temper was tempered by Tan Ji a lot. While beating the horse, he swept the money in Tan Xiaojian's hand, and laughed.
"Have you never seen silver or something? Isn't it just a piece of silver? It's worth your tail like this?"

Once the battle broke out, boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were seized. It is said that the soldiers of the East and West Camps had never seen silver, so they had never been on the battlefield at all, right?

childish!

"I have seen a lot of money, but we both went to ask for food, and I got the reward, Zheng Ling, didn't you think that this is your reason? You, admit it, you still have to learn more from me study."

Tan Xiaojian carefully put the silver in his hand into his arms, whipped his horsewhip, and ran to the front of Zheng Ling first, followed by a group of soldiers carrying boxes, and ran past Zheng Ling happily.

It tickles Zheng Ling's teeth.

That's right, it's also going to ask for food, why is it that Tan Xiaojian's job is so good?
Reflect, reflect, must reflect!
He returned to Dongying angrily, and immediately met Tan Ji who was lining up at the sand table.

Tan Ji raised his head, narrowed his black eyes slightly, and asked:

"Didn't you borrow any food?"

"Sister-in-law still borrowed it."

Zheng Ling cupped his hands, still feeling angry, he won Tan Xiaojian a reward, but he didn't get a reward, he talked to Tan Ji again, and said:

"Erlang is too arrogant. I really want to fight with him. Why does Sister-in-law reward him and not me? Logically, we in Dongying are closest to Sister-in-law."

He spoke quickly, but he said what was in his heart. The key is that Tan Xiaojian is too irritating. Zheng Ling didn't care about such a reward at all, but now he is thinking, why?

In the future, sister-in-law will marry the battalion commander of Dongying.

Tan Ji pursed his lips, looked at the young man in front of him, and persuaded:

"Erlang has escaped since he was a child. The person who talks about people when he sees people and talks about people when he sees ghosts is now a soldier under Ah Zhang. He is more relaxed than me, so he has let go of his natural temperament a lot. It's okay, I'll turn around. Talk to Jiao Niang, you can't treat one more favorably than another."

For this matter, Dongxiying is completely out of control now. One regards herself as a beautiful and charming natal family, and the other regards herself as a beautiful and beautiful mother-in-law's family. For such a trivial matter, they often have to fight.

Sometimes Tan Ji also looks quite helpless. It is a good thing that children have fighting spirit and blood, but they are no more than those who kill more heads on the battlefield, but they are better than these small-minded people. Tan Ji can lead troops, but he can't control them. The sons live in the spirit of being competitive.

what can he doApart from asking Sheng Jiaojiao not to favor one person over another, and try to make the bowl of water even, Tan Ji has no other better way.
At this end, in Tiaoma Lake Huangtu Village behind the north of the county, after the people sent by Dongxiying to ask for food returned, Mrs. Qi Er also came back from the market.

As soon as she entered the house, she entered Sheng Jiaojiao's room, and said anxiously to Sheng Jiaojiao who was reading a book on the bed:

"Jiao Jiaoer, what shall we do next? As soon as Junbei asks for food, the food in our hands is less than half."

The second lady Qi said, she sat on the bed with her skirt up, looking at Sheng Jiaojiao's peaceful lotus face, she had a worried expression on her face.

Sheng Jiaojiao's hoarding of grain was originally used to lower the price of grain, so that it was not a dream to make grain cheap in midwinter. She and Lu Shou, a few shopkeepers, collected grain day and night, and finally hoarded so much grain.

The east and west camps needed food, Sheng Jiaojiao asked Er Niang Qi to go out of the warehouse, but it was enough to leave the warehouse, and once out of the warehouse, Er Mistress Qi realized that the east and west camps needed to consume too much food.

All of a sudden, a small half of the grain in the granary was gone.

If Dongxiying came here again so many times, the food in Sheng Jiaojiao's hands would definitely be empty.

When the winter comes, Sheng Jiaojiao will run out of food.

If you don't give it, you will definitely not do it.

These are only two camps, not counting the southern and northern camps.

The southern camp and the northern camp actually had no food. After winter, every camp was recruiting soldiers. Although the soldiers in the southern camp and the northern camp did not go to the battlefield, there was not enough food.

Therefore, Dongying and Xiying have to distribute grain to Nanying and Beiying.

It is equivalent to saying that Sheng Jiaojiao is supplying the military rations of the entire Jumping Horse Lake.

"Anyway, we have some money to make, so what are we afraid of?"

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was lying on the collapsed floor, turned over a page of the book, took time to cast a glance at Mrs. Qi Er on the opposite side, and said with a smile:

"Second Aunt was originally afraid that we would lose money with this ticket, but now it seems that I am afraid that we will make too much money."

Originally, Sheng Jiaojiao had borrowed the money from Dongying and Xiying for the food collection, so she also sold the fur goods from Dongying and Xiying.

Some time ago, Mrs. Qi Er didn't say anything on the face, but there was a worry in her eyes. She was afraid that Sheng Jiaojiao would screw up this time, and gold and silver would be lost in this vote.

Who knew that the turn of events turned around, and the money was borrowed from the East and West Camps. As a result, the grain mountain was taken back, and before it was warmed up, the East and West Camps faced the plight of a shortage of military rations.

Isn't this the left hand and the right hand, and it made the Qi family earn money for carrying a basket.

"I also know that some earn money, but you count your days."

The second lady Qi, who was on the ground, pushed open the window behind her, pointed at the snow outside, and sighed:
"The snow will still fall for a long time, and there will be a day when the food will be eaten. Aren't you going to use cheap food in midwinter to stabilize the rear of the east and west camps and prevent the people here from rioting? It is hard to guarantee that the winter will not be so long. Something will happen, the food in the hands of the shopkeeper is increasing day by day, and all the food in our hands is transferred to the military camp. My girl, your original intention of going around such a big circle is not just To make money for yourself?"

The fact that these words came out of Mrs. Qi Er's mouth proved that she had really seen Sheng Jiaojiao's plan clearly and was really anxious about it.

Why did Sheng Jiaojiao borrow the money back then?This is the beginning of the long winter in Jishou County.

There is no grain in hand, and once the high-priced grain comes out of the market in mid-winter, what can I use to pay for it?
At that time, people will panic, Zhishou County will still be in chaos, and when starvation is everywhere, the vassal states will take the opportunity to move south, Qi Zhang and Tan Ji will have internal and external troubles, how long can they last?

How long can the Qi family last in such a chaotic world?

"It's okay, I still have a plan."

Sheng Jiaojiao stood up, poured tea for Mrs. Qi, shook the teapot in her hand again, changed the topic, and sighed:

"I'm really going to buy a few girls. The four guys are no good. He can't do the job of serving tea and water."

As winter came, Qi Rong's affairs not only did not decrease, but increased.

Every day, he has to clear the snow in the yard, go to the water pond to dig ice, carry ice cubes back to melt the water, practice sword writing, and serve tea and water.
Everyone in the family was busy, except for Mrs. Qi, everyone was assigned work by Sheng Jiaojiao.

But no one dared to let Mrs. Qi do these trivial things, so they could only let the young Qi Rong do it.

If there are no more people in the family, it will be stretched everywhere.

Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao talking about something else, Qi Er turned her body angrily and stopped talking.

That's it, a large amount of grain was collected several times by Qi Ming and transported to the north of the county. Regardless of whether Qi Zhang and Tan Ji can get grain from the subordinate countries, the two military camps of Xiying and Dongying now have medicinal materials. No shortage, no shortage of food.

However, Sheng Jiaojiao's grain mountain was reduced little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At that time, news gradually came out from the military dormitory that the price of grain this year was going to skyrocket.

Many shopkeepers who were hesitant to say that grain prices would not rise this year sensed a business opportunity. When they heard the news from the military dormitory, many shopkeepers set off overnight to go out of Zhishou County to stock up on food. grain.

In addition to the three teachings and nine schools in the military dormitory, there are also military masters in the barracks who often go in and out.

Therefore, the news here is still quite credible.

Some people said that there was not enough food in the barracks, and some said that the barracks were in charge of distributing money, but they didn't care about the food, so this year not only the price of food in Tiaoma Lake will rise to sky-high prices, but the entire Zhishou County will not be spared.

The news is spread with nose and eyes, and each has its source, but any gossip with a source can always be believed by people.

As a result, in Zhishou County, more and more people volunteered to join the army.

Because of the sky-high price of food, no one can afford it.

Sometimes it is one thing to be passionate about defending the family and defending the country, but winter is approaching, and I have seen Zhishou County who have starved to death a large number of people at this time of year, and they also want to join the army to fight for themselves. The family avoids the risk of being starved to death.

Many people are aiming at the military system of Zhishou County, which stipulates that soldiers who serve in the army can not only get military pay, but also get a bag of food every month to join the army.

In the middle of winter when not even a single grain of rice can be found, such a bag of grain can be enough for a family to survive the cold days for a long time.

Contrary to the rumors, there has been no shortage of food in the military camp, and even compared to previous years when there was no war, the food in the military camp is still faintly rich.

Every meal can make the hard-working border guards full of food!
This further stimulated the children of Zhishou County to go to the front to join the army. Many children who were not from Tiaomahu were running to the front.

The flames of a single star eventually become a prairie fire.

A large-scale wave of joining the army quickly swept across the entire Zhishou County.

Because of the undying determination of the vassals, they repeatedly provoked Daze on a small scale, and pointed their swords at the abolition of the crown prince. Finally, the general army of Zhishou County couldn't bear it anymore. The military system was changed again, from 2000 people in the first battalion to 4000 people.

In order to defend the deposed prince, Bai Tao led the second battalion, with a total of [-] soldiers, and was promoted to the rear wing leader. Qin Wa led a battalion of [-] soldiers to the north right wing of the county, and Qi Zhang led a battalion of [-] soldiers to the north left wing of the county.

Due to his outstanding military exploits, Tan Ji made outstanding achievements several times. He was promoted to the north front wing of the county, commanded Qinwa and Qizhang as masters and apprentices, commanded [-] soldiers, defended Tiaoma Lake, and stood upright on the border of the subordinate country.

To abolish the crown prince, one must first kill Tan Ji, and step over the corpses of eight thousand soldiers to reach Jishang.

Jumping Horse Lake completed the defense of [-] soldiers.

But at this moment, in the Prince's Mansion, Duan Min lost his temper in the room, and swept all the chicken, duck, fish and hot white rice on the floor,
"What about the people you sent? I just want a servant to serve you. You can't do this little thing well. How long has it been? Why hasn't Sheng Jiaojiao come? Did you send someone to summon her?"

She was still waiting to establish her prestige in this mansion, if Sheng Jiaojiao didn't come, how could she beat the face and dispose of the Crown Princess?

In the heavy snow outside the eaves, a large group of girls and eunuchs knelt on the ground with their heads bowed one by one, daring not to answer.

This made Duan Min very angry. She is a princess with a title. The princess is a commoner, even though she is her mother-in-law, but the more disparity in status, the more Duan Min can't swallow this breath.

The more Sheng Jiaojiao didn't come, the more Duan Min wanted her to come.

Everyone in the house dared not to listen to her order, which showed that these servants didn't take her words to heart at all.

Okay, okay, that commoner's mother-in-law is the master, and she, a noble princess, is not the master, is she?

Jin Xiu stepped forward, stood behind Duan Min who was dressed in luxurious clothes, bent down and said:

"I heard that a few nights ago, someone was sent to summon Sheng Jiaojiao, but halfway through, he was killed by the subjects who sneaked into Daze."

"what?"

Hearing this, Duan Min flinched a little, turned around and grabbed Jin Xiu,

"This Zhishou County is so chaotic? The subjects of the country have come to kill again?"

On the day she got married, all the people of the country could directly enter the prince's mansion, why couldn't they enter Jishang?

No one thought it was impossible, and no one thought it was too abrupt. Thinking about it carefully, although the crown prince was deposed and demoted to come here, he was still of the blood of the emperor after all. If the crown prince fell into the hands of the people of the country, what would be the face of Daze?
No matter how ignorant Duan Min was, he knew that the situation in Jumping Horse Lake was tense.

It was not a pity that the two eunuchs sent to summon Sheng Jiaojiao to serve were killed, but the meaning revealed in it made people feel cold from head to toe.

I'm afraid the Prince's Mansion will be targeted by the vassal state.

Thinking of this situation, Duan Min felt terrified, and hurriedly grabbed Jin Xiu and asked:
"Oops, will I be okay? Jinxiu, what should I do? The subjects even killed the eunuchs. This is because they have a grudge against the crown prince."

Now she also belongs to the side of the abolished prince, will the people of the country also follow her?
At this moment, Duan Min didn't care whether Sheng Jiaojiao came to serve her or not, she felt as if her head was pinned to her trouser belt, torturing Sheng Jiaojiao and slapping the princess in the face, what's the point of saving her life?

Serving Duan Min since she was a child, Jin Xiu, who was born in the inner house and grew up in the inner house, could have any ideas at all. At first, she never thought about whether it was because the people of the country held grudges against the prince or something. She only got the news. Thinking of telling the princess as soon as possible.

As a result, after hearing what the Princess said, Jin Xiu's face turned pale with fright.

She hastily held Duan Min's hand,
"Princess, this is not Duan Liangyuan, this is pushing you into the fire pit."

Duan Min's father was powerless and powerless, his family had many wives and concubines, and he was rich and noble, but there was not a single man in the family to support the family business.

And Duanmin is the most unfavored girl in the family. The mother who gave birth to her is an ordinary boudoir lady. Compared with these royal children in the whirlpool of power, Duanmin's mother has no roots Powerless.

Even because of A Niang's shallow knowledge, even Duan Min's vision is not wide.

To be granted a marriage by the emperor, and Duanmin was also given the title "Hui" by himself, it was really unexpected.
