Lonely non-good minister

Song Yuan didn't say a word, and Song Run took over the words: "The Xiongnu cavalry frequently harassed merchants in the territory of the Great Wei. For example, why bother to explain it? Since the sixth brother is not willing, I will accept the request of the fifth brother."

What he said made sense. Song Yuan looked at Song Bao and saw that he was not convinced, but he didn't mean to refute Song Run, so he began to weigh it up in his heart.

It can be seen that Song Run's restraint on them is still very strong. That being the case, there is no need to be too polite and laborious to Song Xie.

Song Qian was dumb, and the others were even more silent, but they were quite unhappy by their expressions.

They all wanted to benefit from Song Yuan, and when Song Run said this, it seemed that they were calculating.

"Yuaner." Song Run's tone softened a lot: "If you have an idea, you can do it with confidence. If you can't do it, just open your mouth. Everyone here is your brother, your own brother, so you don't need to see outsiders."

Based on Song Yuan's explanation just now, Song Run admired her ability very much. Although Song Chun had praised Song Yuan's ability before, Song Run never really recognized it until he saw it with his own eyes.

After all, Song Chun loves Song Yuan so much, it is inevitable that his words will be exaggerated, but looking at it now, Song Chun is still conservative.

Song Yuan cupped his fists: "Okay, thank you, Second Brother."

After Song Qian and the others left, Song Yuan wanted to tell Song Run in advance, so that he would know, but Song Run raised his hand to stop her.

"They won't stay for long. If you have something to do, go to them to discuss and negotiate, and then come to me when you're done. I still have something to deal with."

The second brother is so considerate, Song Yuan naturally couldn't waste his kindness, and immediately chased him out.

The only way for the caravan to pass through is mainly through the defense zones of Song Qian and Song Fu, so it only needs to get through the relationship between the two of them and everything will be fine. As for the others... stay away from them, there is no need to care about them at all.

After weighing the tempers of the two of them, Song Yuan went to Song Fu first.

The sixth brother obviously wanted the benefits, and he wouldn't leave so readily if he didn't get the benefits, so don't worry, as for the fifth brother, Song Fu, he didn't seem like someone who would wait for him.

Song Yuan trotted all the way, seeing that Song Fu was on his horse, she managed to catch up: "Fifth Brother, wait a minute."

Song Fu looked over and didn't have the slightest intention of dismounting from his horse. He lowered his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that Brother Wu has a lot of poor veterans. I don't know if this is the case. This year, the Yamen has reserved a part of the cotton clothes for special needs, so I have to check with Brother Fifth, so as not to have to go to Brother Fifth's station again." The reason was thought of long ago, so she said it very smoothly.

Song Fu got off his horse when he heard the words: "How many cotton-padded clothes can you specially provide? Most of the soldiers and horses under my command are transferred from serious injuries. They belong to the border army preparing for war. There are all poor and elderly people. There are more than [-] people in total."

"Fifth Brother's criterion for defining family poverty is whether there are thick clothes to keep out the cold in winter or something?" Song Yuan asked very carefully, even if he wanted to offer a bribe, he had to show enough, otherwise, with Song Fu's temper, he might not accept it.

Song Fu thought about it seriously, and asked doubtfully, "The standard for a poor family is to have no warm clothes?"

"Yes, after all, there are too many people, and the goal is to avoid the cold in winter, so we can only use this standard to define it." Song Yuan was very sincere in his deception.

Song Fu thought about it carefully: "8000 people."

"8000 people?" Song Yuan deliberately breathed a sigh of relief: "The number of people is less than the government approved, but it's okay."

Song Fu pulled her suddenly: "However, I have something to ask, which may make things difficult for you."

Have something to ask for?

Song Yuan became serious: "What's the matter?"

"Can you give me a thousand more quilts? I have seen the quilt you gave to the late emperor among his funeral belongings. It is light and thick to keep warm. It is a good thing. There are many wounded soldiers under my command. If you can With such a quilt, they can suffer less." Song Fu frowned slightly when he spoke. He knew that this request was too much, but he also understood that Song Yuan came to him at this time just to promise himself benefits so that he could Escorting the caravan, since we want each other, it's better to go too far.

Song Yuan looked puzzled, one quilt was calculated at eight catties, one thousand quilts was eight thousand catties of cotton, plus eight thousand cotton coats, Song Fu would have to eat twenty-four thousand catties of cotton in one go.

This appetite is too great, but it is not unacceptable.

But with enough drama, Song Yuan murmured for a while: "Okay, fifth brother will speak up, then I will try my best to do it."

She agreed only after being so cautious, but Song Fu felt a bit of guilt in his heart, feeling that he had taken advantage too much.

"I will do what I just asked in front of the coach. If you need any other help, just ask." Song Fu patted her on the shoulder: "You and I are slightly different in age, and the intersection is less. But Shen Niangniang treated me very well, and she was the closest to my mother, so you don't need to be courteous with me."

Song Yuan nodded: "Fifth Brother, don't worry, I'm grown up now. I used to be far away from you when I was young, and I didn't have the opportunity to socialize even if I wanted to. Now that I'm in the Northwest, I won't be the same as before."

"Well, be careful on the way back." Song Fu got on his horse and left without being too polite.

Wei Yan listened with a sigh on his face: "Since I met Fifth Master, His Highness is the first person who has been treated so intimately and gently by him. He has no siblings, and has always been cold, separated from other Highnesses by a distance." Layer, not close at all."

"Maybe he feels that he has taken advantage of me, so he feels very sorry." Song Yuan touched his chin: "But there is always a layer of separation when getting along with others, I quite understand."

Fifth brother at least has sisters, but she doesn't even have sisters, her identity can't be revealed, and she doesn't dare to talk to others at all.

This idea only turned around in her mind before being thrown away by Song Yuan, and she still had to go find Song Bao.

Although according to An Zhoushi's estimate, the total output will be [-] catties more, but this is the amount that wipes out the wealth of the common people. She can't count all the cotton that the common people plant in front of and behind their houses.

The budget she gave herself was [-] catties of cotton.

With this idea in mind, Song Yuan found Song Pun. As expected, he was waiting for her, sitting on a stone not far away, as if he knew she would come looking for her.

"The sixth brother's garrison is long and narrow, and there are Hun tribes entrenched outside the country, so it is difficult to defend. It is really tiring to ask the sixth brother to send additional troops to patrol the road that the caravan must pass." Song Yuan also sat down: "Sixth brother can't bear the fatigue of the soldiers, I can understand .”

She was so considerate, Song Qian's prepared speech was suddenly useless, he looked at Song Yuan, a little unsure what she was up to.

Song Yuan also knew that he was waiting for him to speak, so he continued: "The caravan transporting grain to the northwest is to make up for the mistakes and omissions of the civil affairs. I can't bear to make the soldiers work hard for the mistakes and omissions of the civil affairs."
