After reconciliation, abandoned wives and cubs farm the fields

Chapter 363 The Big Dilemma

"Then you'd better start thinking about it now, and give me the answer quickly. I'm very busy, and I won't stay in Yanjing for too long." Hong Jiao curled her lips, knowing that it would not be so easy to ask him for help.

The other thing she came here, apart from taking away the chamaejasma flower, was to find an opportunity to ask the Emperor Wei for help. Although Li Ke had asked him for help before and was rejected, she did not give up.

Sitting and waiting is not her style. She thought it would take a lot of effort to find a chance to get close to Emperor Wei, but Su Nanzhen gave her a big surprise.

It's not just one, she surprises her much more than this.

She will come again, and the next time she comes, she will take Midixiang away.

Before returning to Chen Country, she hoped to have good news.

It's just that the emperor didn't dare to agree to her request rashly. He couldn't put the people of Wei State in danger in order to save Li Ke, and asked her to go back and wait for news. He needed to study this matter with the ministers.

How much grain is worth ten thousand taels of gold, the most important thing is whether they can get so much grain.

The last time they were perfunctory to the request of the Emperor Chen, this time it was the second time, and it would be unreasonable to be more perfunctory. They should support it as much as possible. As for how much, it depends on the results calculated by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

All of a sudden, no one from the household department and military department had to go home. Some people refuted it, but it was unreasonable in terms of reason and sentiment.

After returning to the Hou's Mansion, Su Nanzhen was called by the old lady to question her. The emperor sent people to leave in a hurry without leaving a single sentence of explanation. She thought something serious had happened.

Hearing that Su Nanzhen said that she found someone to cure the Empress Dowager, the old lady couldn't say anything more, but asked her to take care of her own body.

"My daughter-in-law would like to follow my grandmother's teachings." Su Nanzhen repeatedly said yes.

"What does the emperor say?" the old lady asked casually.

Su Nanzhen shook her head, she was not the one who saved the life, and she was too embarrassed to ask for a reward.

The old lady felt bored and asked her to go down and rest.

After walking in the palace for so long, Su Nanzhen's legs were indeed a little sore, so she went back to her room to lie down and rest.

Mu Furong pinched her legs.

Not long after she came back, Hong Jiao also came back.

Because she misses Midixiang, Hong Jiao plans to live with her until Midixiang blooms.

Su Nanzhen is naturally welcome.

But after hearing that she personally asked the emperor for food, Su Nanzhen's expression became a little subtle.

"The emperor agreed?"

"Not yet, I'll just wait for news from you."

"It's difficult for a family to know."

"Is there any difficulty in Wei Guo?"

"..."

Family ugliness should not be publicized, and the same is true for national affairs. Su Nanzhen only said that there are many things in the world, droughts and droughts, floods and floods. Food is also a long-standing problem in Wei.

"Aren't you very good? I saw on the road that the grain in Liangzhou is growing very well."

"Wei State is so big, there must be a place to take a breather, and Chen State is the same."

"It's a pity that the place where Chen Guo can take a break is not in our hands."

It's just that their predicament couldn't be seen by the other party, so they came to ask the Emperor Wei for help.

In the imperial palace, the emperor was anxious about the conclusions given by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of Households had a lot to settle, so they didn't dare to draw conclusions lightly, and the Ministry of War wanted to help Chen Guo, so no one dared to take on this drudgery lightly, after all, it didn't take much credit for winning.

There is no rush to fight the war, but it is a bit difficult for the Ministry of Households to estimate the surplus grain in advance.

The spring and autumn harvests in Qingzhou and Chuzhou are negligible, and there is no news about other states and counties for the time being. In short, it is difficult to handle, but if the emperor wants the result, they can only make an estimate based on the situation in previous years.

The situation in the State of Wei is also very complicated. The ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs have to check the records of previous years, and they have to do a lot of preparation. It took two days and two nights to give the results.

However, the emperor was not satisfied with the result, he did not expect the treasury to be so empty.

The gold is in a dilemma, and the food is also in a dilemma. He is an emperor who can't pay so much.

Mr. Zhao also has no choice. Most of the food in Wei State is in the hands of family merchants, and the surplus food in the hands of ordinary people is not much.

"Then find a way to make them spit out the food." The emperor was furious. This was what he was most worried about. When it came time to spend money and food, it was a taboo to have no money and no food.

He couldn't give Chen Guo all the last bit of food in his hand, and he didn't want to be restrained by the aristocratic family everywhere.

Mr. Zhao has no choice but to comply.

Su Nanzhen learned about Wei Guo's current predicament from Su Yihuan's mouth. She did have some food in her hand, but it was far from the amount that Hong Jiao wanted.

"Uncle, please ask the emperor if you can use seeds to replace part of the food. It's better to block it." Su Nanzhen thought about it, and only thought of this method.

Hong Jiao wanted so much food because she hoped that they would have surplus food in their hands, but that was impossible. The food they gave could only allow them to survive the lean days.

But the seeds are different. She tried to grow drought-resistant and flood-resistant seeds in the experimental field, which is hard to find.

When Su Yihuan heard her proposal, she didn't dare to take credit for it, and asked her to speak to the emperor herself.

"There are many rules in the palace, I don't want to enter the palace all the time, besides, I just had this matter on a whim, I haven't mentioned it to Miss Hong yet, I have to convince her first.

As for the emperor, the grain on my side, including Liangzhou, can probably support [-] shi. This is my bottom line. You can disclose it to the emperor. As for the remaining grain. "Su Nanzhen thought for a while, and proposed to her in this way.

"Your idea is good, I will enter the palace right away." Su Yihuan said excitedly, "Master Zhao still needs to take the lead in this matter."

"It doesn't matter whoever takes the lead." Su Nanzhen said with a smile.

Mrs. Su saw that he didn't rest much when he came back and went out again, but her heart was so distressed, the palace didn't know what happened, and she was busy every day without a trace.

"It's a good thing." Su Nanzhen comforted her, and some suggestions from my uncle are also very good, and the emperor should adopt them.

Thinking of going back and talking to Hong Jiao about this matter, she also bid farewell to Mrs. Su.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Hong Jiao was not there, and Mu Jin said that she followed him halfway and lost her.

"Who asked you to follow?"

"Slaves deserve to die. Slaves shouldn't make claims."

"There are a lot of people following her, you just need to do nothing."

"I said how long have you been with you, maid? I haven't learned anything about 01:30 from you."

"Everyone has their own strengths, and you can't learn from her cleverness."

"Did not see it."

"master."

"Okay, let's stop for a while. You should be full by the way you look. Just in time, I have something to talk to you about."

"How do you know I'm full?"

"I also know what you ate."

"real or fake?"

"It's stinky tofu." Mu Jin looked at Hong Jiao with some satisfaction, but then she couldn't believe it, "Did you sneak out just to eat stinky tofu?"
