On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Chapter 163 Let the selfish Wen family take action

This war happened in such a hurry that there was no time for them to hesitate. Fortunately, the Wen family and the Guan family army had started a cattle and sheep business and made some money, otherwise the soldiers would have been really hard to resist when the war broke out.

Fortunately for Xu Shihuan, although Mengzhou and Hezhou are adjacent, they have not been affected by the war. Even though the people are uneasy, they are still willing to stay there and live an honest life.

But Wen Yidi was different. By the time he arrived in Hezhou, fighting had already broken out at the border between the two countries. There were not many local people in Hezhou, and now most of them were gone. Except for Guan Jiajun, Hezhou almost became an empty city.

Wen Yidi led his men and escorted the food and grass over night. What he saw was a scene where the doors of every house in Hezhou were closed tightly, and almost no one could be seen on the road.

"General! Mr. Wen is here with food and grass! Our supplies are in place!"

As the excited voices of the soldiers rang out, Wen Yidi soon saw General Guan. I saw that he was dressed in military uniform and had sharp eyes. He was completely different from the kind old man during the New Year.

Seeing Wen Yidi, Guan Yi finally had a smile on his face. He smiled at the group of them and said in a deep voice:

"It's good to come, it's good to come."

Everyone had no time to be polite, so they took action and moved the grain and grass to the appropriate location. Wen Yidi sneaked into General Guan's camp, and the two of them talked until sunset before they separated.

"Young Master, here we are..."

Seeing Wen Yidi walking out of the tent, the Wen family members who had followed him to Hezhou immediately surrounded him and quickly asked about the next arrangements.

According to their original plan, after escorting the grain and grass to Hezhou, they would find a safe place to stay and wait silently. The Wen family has already given enough money. They couldn't help with things like fighting, so they could only wait quietly for the war to end.

Some generous people even took this trip as a good opportunity to rest and quietly brought a lot of things for fun. But when they really came to Hezhou and saw the current situation of the place, no matter how big their hearts were, they knew they couldn't just sit idly by.

"You guys need to calm down for now. Once we get settled, I'll tell you my follow-up plan in detail."

Wen Yidi calmed the people under his hands in a gentle voice, and methodically directed them to settle down quickly. After everyone had a place to rest and had a simple meal, he called everyone together and talked about his plan:

"We, the Wanhua Kingdom, must win this battle. But you have also seen the current situation. At the moment, Hezhou is in need of money and people, and it all depends on the support of the Guan family army."

"So I feel that since we are all here, we can't sit back and ignore it."

After saying this, Wen Yidi glanced at everyone and signaled them to speak if they had anything to say. Most of the people who followed Wen Yidi to Hezhou this time were the second-in-commands of various shops, waiting to take over the business when the elders in the family were old and unable to be shopkeepers.

Therefore, this group of people are young and don’t have so many twists and turns in their minds, so they can say what they have to say directly. After receiving Wen Yidi's instruction, they no longer hid it and directly expressed their thoughts:

"Master, this sword has no eyes, let's stay away."

"It's just that our Wen family can't go to the battlefield, so we can't help even if we want to."

"How about we hide over there in Mengzhou. It's relatively safe there. If anything happens, we can rush here in time."

"Yeah, if you ask me, we might as well go around and see if there are any business opportunities and find a chance to make a lot of money."

Everyone was talking about it, and they all came to the same conclusion. The battlefield was too dangerous, and they wanted to stay away. Wen Yidi had long expected this result. The idea that they had been instilled in them since they were young was that if there is no benefit, they should run away quickly. How could they be willing to do such a thing.

Wen Yidi had no choice but to clear his throat and said seriously:

"First there is a country, then there is a family. If the country is gone, no matter how much money our Wen family has, it will be nothing more than a pile of waste."

Before he could finish speaking, someone whispered:

"This gold and silver can be used no matter where we are. At worst, we can just live in another country like our ancestors did."

Wen Yidi glared at the speaker and continued:

"I know what you are thinking, but let me ask you, where else can our Wen family escape? It is true that there are descendants of the Wen family in Yuedao Country. Do you think they will be willing to accept us?"

"Or go to Meng State? The climate there is worse than Hezhou. If there is no other way, who would be willing to live there?"

"As for Suwu Country or other countries, that's even more impossible. They look very different from us. Even if we go there, we can't really integrate into them."

Seeing that none of these people spoke, Wen Yidi knew that they had listened to his words, so he continued:

"What's more, if we lose this battle, our Wen family's money will be in vain."

At the mention of silver, the eyes of this group of people instantly lit up and they nodded their heads. Wen Yidi finally felt at ease and told him the countermeasure he had just thought of.

What he wanted to do was actually very simple, just to get all his men to move and do their best to help Guan Jiajun win this battle. When his grandfather met with him today, he said that in terms of strength, the Suwu Kingdom was not as good as their Wanhua Kingdom.

But the people of Suiwu Kingdom are desperate for their lives when they go to the battlefield. Once you confront them, casualties will definitely be inevitable. It would be the best help to the soldiers if they could have a hot meal after a bloody battle and receive timely treatment after being injured.

Wen Yidi carefully counted the people under his command, and among them there were many who opened restaurants and medical clinics. Although they did not know how to do these things themselves, they were familiar with the processes in this area. There should be no need to worry if you leave these matters to them.

As for the others, Wen Yidi had other plans. How long this battle will last is still unknown. Although the Wen family can afford the money now, they still have to prepare for the future.

In times of war, it is always the people who suffer. For the people of Wanhua Kingdom, this war will not have much impact on their lives. After all, Wanhua Kingdom has a vast territory, and only a small part is close to Suwu Kingdom.

But for the people of Siwu Country, the problem is much more serious. Their country has a cold climate and poor soil, so they often have to venture to Hezhou to exchange what they have for food.

Now that the two countries are at war, they may not even have enough food to eat. Wen Yidi didn't want to give up this money. But he still needs to think carefully about how to make money.
