Chapter 315 The Value of Millions of Silver

At the same time, Huiyu also received news from the front, but this time it was Huiyu who saw Dong Yuncheng and Yan Yibai in the Dong Mansion as if returning to her mother's house.

Mrs. Dong Er, Mr. Dong Er and Ji Xiaocui were also there. Huiyu asked Sister Zhao to accompany her two younger brothers to play in the next room. Mrs. Dong Er was worried, so she went to make arrangements in person before returning.As soon as he entered the door, he heard Ji Xiaocui say: "The letter was written by my husband himself. As for why he wrote the letter and didn't mention it in the letter, I don't know why."

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be Dong Yunji who sent the letter, but he is now. Huiyu didn't say anything, but took the letter from Ji Xiaocui and opened it to look down.

In the second half of the day, the sunlight came in through the window, and the room was bright. The green phoenix hairpin on Huiyu's head was bright in color, which reflected her pale face. Huiyu held the letter paper tightly, and handed it to Dong Yuncheng didn't speak, but just stared at the tablecloth with golden peony pattern on the table with his head half down.

After Dong Yuncheng read the letter, he said: "The Ministry of War also got the battle report and reported it to the emperor. I don't know what was said in the specific memorial, but looking at the news from the second brother, I'm afraid the memorial is a bit shocking." Worry."

The news Dong Yunji sent back was not good. After Ji Qiyu arrived, he left as a deputy. Under the leadership of King Su, many things were not done. Follow his deployment, and the first time he went out, he was hit by the enemy. Therefore, King Su and King Jing had a stalemate.King Su's decision to impeach King Jing for not obeying the military order is probably inevitable. Now the road is far away in the freezing cold, and the transmission of news is much slower. Ji Qiyu has been away for so long, so this is what the capital got. first message.

Still bad news.

Master Dong Er didn't know much about these things, but he also knew that things were not going well, so he said anxiously, "Is there no way to help?"

Mrs. Dong Er took a look at Master Dong Er. This time, instead of being sneering and sarcastic as before, she patiently said to him: "There is no way to help, and I can't help. King Su is the main general. As long as he refuses to bow his head for a day, Your son-in-law will feel uncomfortable being ruled by others, it depends on whether his ability can support the sky under King Su."

Mrs. Dong's words hit the nail on the head. Soldiers are fighting outside. On the battlefield, it is life and death. A general who can lead everyone to win battles with less bloodshed is bound to be supported by everyone.Although Su Wang suffered a great loss in the south, but fortunately he is also a hard-headed soldier who shared joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Even though he was lacking in marching and deployment, such a general is very easy to convince everyone. After all, not every royal prince can make it happen.After Ji Qiyu arrived, she didn't lead any troops to fight, didn't have any achievements, and was under the control of King Su.If Prince Jing himself had no way to gain a foothold, even if Xing Yulang sent him capable men, he would not be able to use his strength. This was a dispute between the royal brothers, and outsiders like them could not use their strength.

Dong Yuncheng had known for a long time that the second aunt was a person with extraordinary knowledge, but he was surprised to be able to say this, but it was a bit relieved to think about Huiyu's horrifying actions, this is like a mother, like a daughter, right? .

"Second Aunt is right. This matter is still on the prince. There is nothing we can do if we are in a hurry." Dong Yuncheng said, "However, based on the prince's behavior in the past, I think this matter can be resolved, but the time should not be delayed too much. Long."

Yan Yibai didn't talk too much when pouring tea for everyone. Ji Xiaocui held back what he wanted to say, and sat beside Yan Yibai to help serve tea and water.

Dong Yuncheng's eyes fell on Huiyu's body, and Huiyu noticed that they were looking at him from thousands of miles away. Even though they were very anxious, they could only wait patiently.With a smile on his face, he comforted everyone, "I believe in your lord, this matter is really insignificant. Although we can't help much in the capital, I think there are still some things that can be done. "

"What do you want to do?" Mrs. Dong looked at her daughter and asked, "This is a matter of military and national importance, so don't mess around." It doesn't matter how much trouble you usually make, it is actually one-third of an acre of land, and it is a family matter. Even if the palace knew about it, they would turn a blind eye sometimes.But if he easily interfered in military and national affairs, it would be a serious crime, and if he found out about it, he might not be able to cover it up.

"Look at what you said, I'm not that omnipotent." Huiyu smiled.

The Second Madam Dong breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "That's good, I'm afraid you'll ignore it if you have a temper." They are young couples who love each other deeply, if they really can't bear their temper, they will die if they are reckless.

Dong Yuncheng looked at Huiyu, and said after a while, "Second sister wants to help with military supplies?"

Huiyu raised her eyebrows, unexpectedly, Dong Yuncheng could guess, "Why would Big Brother think I would do this?"

Dong Yuncheng knew that he had guessed right when he saw Huiyu's surprised look, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, his good-looking brows and eyes were somewhat soft, and he said slowly: "First, your way of making money these days is simply Desperate posture, I think it must be of great use for you to earn money like this. Second, you are calm and resolute, and you will not rashly intervene in military and state affairs to keep people in check. Cold, the cold-proof military uniforms produced by the household department’s military supplies are not enough, I think you will start here to buy the hearts of the princes. Third, King Su is arrogant. Wanting to get rid of the shame, but the prince came at this time, King Su's temperament must be very ugly, and he will fight against the prince to protect his face. The Ministry of Military Supplies is not able to supply, if the prince can lend a helping hand at this time, although King Su He has an unruly temperament, but he is not a stubborn person, maybe the two of them can put aside their previous grievances and join hands to defend against the enemy."

Dong Yuncheng seldom gave such a lengthy speech. Everyone was shocked by these three points. Huiyu sighed inwardly. The author of the original text set Dong Yuncheng as the leader of the new generation of the Dingguo government, which really made sense.It is said that scholars love to talk on paper, talk in general terms, and talk in vain.But Dong Yuncheng is also a scholar, but he can tell a lot of truths that he has not personally experienced but can empathize with. She couldn't help smiling, looked at Dong Yuncheng and said: "Big brother said everything I wanted to say at once. , I really don't think so much."

Mr. Dong Er couldn't put his mouth in his mouth, and he was dizzy when he heard about military affairs. The sour scholar's dancing and writing were more in line with his preferences, and his eyes were about to turn into mosquito eyes.Mrs. Dong could understand the conversation between the two, but she confirmed that they thought things too smoothly, so she said, "I'm afraid that the prince helped King Su, but in the end, King Su may not really have the same heart with the prince. "Military merit, who doesn't want it?
Huiyu sighed, looked at Mrs. Dong and said, "When the prince left, he didn't expect to return with military merits. He just pitied the people and worried about the country."

Mrs. Dong Er stopped talking. Although her son-in-law's sentiments are very noble, she really felt stupid, but she couldn't complain in front of so many people, and she was very depressed.On this trip to the south, Baal took the risk to be in a dilemma, just to add bricks and tiles to King Su and create obstacles for himself in the future, what is this called!
Dong Yuncheng knew that Huiyu didn't want to talk about this, so he changed the subject and asked, "Then how much money are you going to give?" To make up for the missing cotton uniforms, worn out equipment, food and grass for the soldiers, this is not a small sum. It is the money flowing out of the running water, thousands of troops eat three meals a day, which one of the military equipment does not cost money?The Household Department has been very tight lately. Although King Ning is in charge of the Household Department, Luo Hongsheng is still the Minister of the Household Department. What are you taking for the New Year?These are unavoidable things. The palace pays attention to ostentation, and a large amount of money is needed to support it. The ostentation is the face of the royal family. Naturally, the emperor cannot lose face, so the household department is also in a dilemma.

"Brother, you must have been bothering a lot about these things these days, so please give me a clear explanation." After Ji Qiyu left, Dong Yuncheng was basically the head of the King Jing's team in Jingdu. Because Concubine Jing came from Duke Dingguo's mansion, but Dong Yuncheng's own ability is also admired by everyone. Dong Yuncheng must have studied the problems encountered with Prince Jing's staff in the south. It is precisely because of this that Dong Yuncheng can Suddenly guess Huiyu's mind.

Dong Yuncheng smiled helplessly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You already have a decision in your heart, so why bother to ask me. The price of your takeaway subscription shares is so good, I'm afraid it's just for the gap."

Except for Huiyu, everyone present was taken aback when they heard Dong Yuncheng's words, so much money.

"I've asked the bank to prepare the banknotes. When will the eldest brother send people to the south?" Huiyu didn't deny it either, "I think we only have silver, but the military uniforms have to be sewn by hand. A large number of embroiderers are urgently needed." Yes." She said so, but her eyes looked at Ji Xiaocui with some embarrassment.The most indispensable thing for Suzhou and Hangzhou embroidered girls is embroidered girls. It is easiest to find someone who knows the way.

It's just that Ji Xiaocui's child is still young, is she willing to leave Beijing at this time?

Ji Xiaocui smiled frankly at Shang Huiyu's gaze, "I may not be able to help with other things, but it's okay to leave this matter to me, and I promise to do it in the shortest possible time."

Second Madam Dong pursed her lips and answered, "I will take care of the child, you don't have to worry about it."

"With my mother here, I don't worry about it." Ji Xiaocui smiled cheerfully, "It's this child who made you worry so much."

"My own grandson, why don't you bother?" Mrs. Dong Er pretended to reprimand, but the smile on her face was cheerful.

"I thank my sister-in-law." No matter how much Huiyu thanked her, she felt that she couldn't express her feelings. Brother Jun was only half a year old.

"What am I doing? You are raising money for the lord. My eldest brother has worked so hard to plan. All I can do is to contribute a little bit of effort. It is really worthless." Ji Xiaocui said this, and she also thought in her heart. She is a wild girl who grew up among the people, and she doesn't have the ability of Princess Jing to make a lot of money with just a few flips, and she doesn't have the strong family background of her sister-in-law, and she doesn't have the methods and strategies of her elder brother. Otherwise, I really feel shameless.When she first entered the door, such an identity was not disgusting, and she was willing to make this trip just because of her sincerity.

"This matter is settled, and there is one more thing, that is medicinal materials." After the war, when the weather warms up, I am afraid that the plague will be rampant. At that time, it is not impossible for unscrupulous merchants to hoard goods and make the country rich.With Ji Qiyu's temperament, there is no possibility of leaving this matter alone.

Dong Yuncheng smiled when he heard Huiyu's words, "You have even thought of this, it's really commendable." After all, there is a grandfather, Marquis of Bei'an, who is very experienced in marching and fighting.

Dong Yuncheng thought that Huiyu could think of this because of Bei'an Hou's advice, but he didn't know that it was Huiyu's own idea, and Huiyu didn't deny it, so he said: "I've heard something about the border, so I want to prepare in advance. .”

"You don't need to worry about this matter. There are many fellow villagers in your sister-in-law's family who sell medicinal materials for a living. I have already written a letter to my father-in-law and started stocking up."

Huiyu was really surprised this time. She saw Yan Yibai smiled and said to Huiyu, "I said that my husband and my father wrote frequently in those days. It was because of this. Don't worry, princess. There are indeed a lot of medicinal material merchants in our hometown, so there is really no need to embarrass this matter."

Huiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and lightly tapped his fingers on the table, "Basically, everything is in order, so the next step is to see what the emperor will do after the battle report is handed in. We spent a million taels of silver, Although we are willing to pay the money, we can't let the Ministry of Households be cheap.

Although they took out the money to solve Ji Qiyu's difficulties, it also gave the household department a sigh of relief. Huiyu was not willing to help them such a big favor for nothing, let alone fearing that Duke Xin would follow him. Duke Ling wants to take advantage of King Su's book to make trouble, so her 100 million taels of silver will be worthwhile.

"What do you want to do again?" Dong Yuncheng thought that Huiyu would not care so much if he wanted to solve Prince Jing's problems, but now it seems that he has lost his mind.

However, it is true that people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and King Ning's line cannot be taken advantage of in vain.
