Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

"Yuzhu, people's hearts are sinister. Daddy has to think more."

Jiang Fulu carefully told Jiang Yuzhu not to show off his wealth. After all, money touches people's hearts, and entangled interests will always breed people's greed.

These 20 taels of silver are used for emergency purposes at critical times.

"The fewer people who know that you have this sum of money, the better. Even the maids around you don't need to know."

Jiang Fulu said, took out a teapot from the table, shook it like a magic trick, and the banknote disappeared into thin air in his hand.

Jiang Yuzhu blinked, thinking that her father, Jiang Fulu, had hidden the banknote in his sleeve and searched for it to no avail.

Jiang Fulu showed a scheming smile and was extremely proud: "How about it, can't I find it?"

Since a teapot is used as a gimmick, the banknotes must be hidden in the teapot.

The teapot looks ordinary, but in fact there is something wonderful inside.

A two-layer design is made at the bottom, and the bottom of the teapot is completely separated from the top.

The upper part can be used to brew tea, and the lower part can be used as a narrow storage space, which is more than enough for storing banknotes.

Jiang Yuzhu solemnly took it and saluted: "Dad, my daughter would like to thank you on behalf of the soldiers of the North."

A sale of 20 taels was not just about cutting off the flesh, it was about cutting out the heart and liver. Jiang Yuzhu felt extremely distressed. After feeling distressed about the money, she considered it even more.

The city in the north is impregnable. If it is captured by barbarians, will she still be able to sit in the capital and eat, drink and have fun?

Princess Yutan is not only her good sister but also her second sister-in-law. The Mo family and the Xie family of the generals who protect the country also have a roundabout marriage relationship. This money is spent on the soldiers and cannot be lost.

Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. After all, it was obtained from officials. Dad raised all the donations and donated it, which can also wash away the stigma of corruption.

Jiang Fulu really wasn't as noble as his daughter Jiang Yuzhu said. He was so distressed that he twitched when he took out his old money, always ready to regain his blood.

The money lost will always be lost in another pit.

Resisting the urge to sigh, Jiang Fulu warned: "There will be no peace on this journey. Since someone wants to obstruct the transportation of military supplies, they will definitely cause all kinds of trouble. Yuzhu, you are a woman and you don't need to get involved. If you see that the situation is not right, run away quickly." "

When Jiang Fulu learned that Xie Zhao had gone to Beidi on his behalf and had included Jiang Yuzhu, he stamped his feet and beat his chest. He really didn't want to accept this big favor!

"Dad, our Jiang family has not had any happy events in the past few years. My sister-in-law is pregnant, so our family should pay more attention to her."

Jiang Yuzhu tried to divert her parents' attention and pushed her sister-in-law, Mrs. Chen, out to resist, with remarkable results.

After returning to Xie's mansion, Jiang Yuzhu went straight to the study to meet Xie Zhao.

In front of the door, Jiang Yuzhu slowed down and stopped in front of the door to peek through the gap.

Under the bright candlelight, Xie Zhao was wearing official uniform and holding a booklet in his hand. Sometimes he frowned, sometimes his brows were relaxed, and his expression revealed a hint of vigor, as if he had everything under control.

Jiang Yuzhu found every angle to spy on Xie Zhao, and secretly commented: Mr. Xie is more seductive in official clothes than taking off his clothes!

He had a gentle and cold temperament, which was very different from the man who sweetly coaxed her into having sex.

Jiang Yuzhu stayed for half a quarter of an hour, while Xie Zhao stared at the booklet, his mind already flying to the door.

Before he could wait long, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Yuzhu sat on the other side of the desk as usual, and the couple sat opposite each other and sipped tea, observing each other secretly, waiting for the other to open their mouth first to find a topic.

Xie Zhao was calm and composed, while Jiang Yuzhu held back.

Finally, after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Yuzhu was defeated. She took the initiative, stood up and said, "Husband, how about you try the tea I brewed?"

A few pieces of the lowest quality tea foam in the tea house, in a mysterious teapot given by Jiang Fulu.

The value of tea is not in the tea leaves, but in the teapot, which is more valuable than the gold rim.

Jiang Yuzhu poured tea for Xie Zhao. Xie Zhao was surprised for a moment. He gently skimmed off the foam from the tea leaves and praised the bitterest taste: "It doesn't matter whether the tea is sweet or bitter. What's precious is the wife's heart, which is worth thousands of gold!"

What is more precious than the heart is the word "husband". Xie Zhao felt very happy when he heard it.

Jiang Yuzhu echoed: "Yuanhe, this is true. It is indeed worth a thousand gold."

The couple looked at each other affectionately, each with their own thoughts.

Regarding the bridal chamber flowers and candles, the two of them tacitly ignored it.

After waiting for a long time, Xie Zhao finally put down the tea cup and got down to business: "Madam, we have a few days to go."

The deadline for fundraising in the capital has not yet reached, and the government is mobilizing people and merchants to contribute, but with little success.

For many years, the capital city has been abuzz with wealth and prosperity, and the rich and noble people have lived a comfortable and comfortable life without any fear of war.

Through fundraising, small amounts add up to large sums, and the people who contribute the bulk are actually ordinary people.

Jiang Yuzhu thought of the Jiang family's contribution and was unwilling to take advantage of corrupt officials.

"There is no news from the north. The soldiers must be having a hard time. It is autumn now, and there are still some crops on the mountains. If it snows for more than a month and there is no harvest, then we will have to tighten our belts."

Jiang Yuzhu suggested that the caravan escorting grain, grass and other supplies should set off first. On the battlefield, a day's delay may be the key to success or failure.

"Madam, someone is secretly obstructing the fund-raising, so my husband pretends not to know and goes along with their wishes."

This trip is a long one, so Xie Zhao must take care of everything before setting off.

If someone delays, Xie Zhao will take advantage of it.

"As for the food, grass and other items collected, Madam, don't worry, the caravan has already set off."

Xie Zhao used his own men to disperse all the grain, grass and cotton, and wait until they were gathered together in the northern hub city, which greatly reduced the loss of transportation.

If a group of people encounter bandits along the way, the remaining one hundred or so caravans will be safe and sound, and we will only lose a small part, and we can fully bear the loss.

Whether it is bandits or people who want to rob food and grass behind the scenes, how can they use their full strength in the face of a scattered team?

Xie Zhao had calculated this and had already made a decision.

Jiang Yuzhu was not easy to fool. No matter how Xie Zhao boasted about his plan, Jiang Yuzhu firmly grasped the core without wavering: "The enemy is in the dark, you and I are in the open. To put it nicely, it is to spread the risk. To put it simply, it is the target. ."

Being a ostentatious target and borrowing arrows from a straw boat may lead to thousands of arrows piercing the heart!

Jiang Yuzhu thought that the hard work originally belonged to her father Jiang Fulu, so she calmed down a little and asked: "Then what were the soldiers and escorts originally scheduled to transport?"

One thing openly and another secretly?

"Transporting rocks to Lingcheng."

It is customary to build houses with stones in the mausoleum city, and most of them buy rocks from the surrounding areas of the capital.

After Xie Zhao dispersed the grain and grass, he did not intend to leave the men sent by the court idle. He could also make a small profit by using them to transport rocks.

"In order to avoid large-scale losses, it is safest to allocate grain and grass in several cities near the Northland. Why do we need to start transportation from the capital?"

Jiang Yuzhu saw that the booklet said that the consumption would be at least [-]% to [-]%, so it was better to bring money. If you have money, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy things.
