After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

Princess Lao Fu was completely refreshed. She had other children and grandchildren, and she had to support them. Her eyes became particularly eager when she saw Yan Muan, and she insisted on keeping her until she had lunch before leaving.

Unfortunately, Yan Mu'an still couldn't eat here, because Yan Huailin asked someone to send a message. The purchased grain and meat had been sent to the capital and had to be delivered to the two camps in the west and south of the city as soon as possible.

Since Tiansheng's people were here, it was inconvenient to send them off with such a big fanfare. Yan Mu'an asked two generals, Shen Qing and Kong Zhen, to come and ask Yan Huailin to hand over those things to them in person.

"You also know the current situation. It is inconvenient to organize the people to send supplies to the army. I can only work hard to bring people here."

The two generals were overjoyed. As long as they got something, they didn't care where it came from and thanked them on the spot.

Yan Huailin said: "The pork is all collected from other places. It is inconvenient to transport pigs. The pork will spoil easily if it takes more than two days. There is not much salt to pickle it, so I cut it all into pieces and boiled it with oil, soaking it in In the lard, there were one hundred jars for each camp, which was not as large as the one in the northern camp, so we made up for a hundred kilograms of beef jerky. Jerky.”

The two generals were a little sorry to hear that pigs were all slaughtered. You must know that pig blood is also a vegetable, and pig bones are very good for cooking. The pig bones from the camp in the north of the city were boiled for five times. They didn't stop cooking until there was no drop of oil in the bones. They roasted the pig's head and ground it into powder and mixed it into the multi-grain steamed buns. It can be said that not a single bit of a pig was wasted. They all admired the group of cooks in the camp in the north of the city. , some operations made those pigs feel that their lives were not in vain.

They wanted to learn it, but they were told that it was bloodless and boneless. It was a pity.

Yan Huailin suddenly said, "By the way, those pig bones are also good. After they are boiled and fried, they are put in several large jars. I have never processed big bones in this way before. I need to do it earlier." Just take it out and deal with it.”

The two generals handed over their hands and said, "Thank you very much, Boss Yan. Boss Yan is really thoughtful, so we will just thank you."

Soon a group of soldiers came and hurriedly took away the supplies they had agreed to. Yan Muan guessed that those big bones could be used tonight. She was surprised when she saw the barrage of the two generals. Pork bones can be boiled and stewed for five times, and finally they have to be dried and ground into powder. She thought she was giving the dogs in the army an advantage, but she thought that the dogs who were used to suffering would finally sleep on the mountain of bones, but... ...

Not easy.

Yan Huailin told Yan Muan that they had opened up the grassland trade route, "We bought in large quantities, and the traders on the grassland even had a fight because of it. In the end, three of them reached a long-term cooperation with us, and they would sell to After we have processed the beef and mutton jerky, it is easy to buy other products. This time the caravan not only brought back beef and mutton jerky, but also brought back dozens of war horses."

Yan Muan was a little surprised, "Didn't you say that the war horses are not for sale?"

Yan Huailin said: "The people below have many ideas. He gave our own mules some laxatives, and then asked the prairie people to ask for help, saying that they needed to buy some horses to pull the goods back. The reason was reasonable, and it was not that they didn't give money. In order for us to bring the cloth and liquor to Nanqi, there is no reason not to agree."

"in addition..."

Yan Huailin lowered his voice and said, "The prince also brought back part of the iron he asked for."

“The source of supply was found.”

Yan Muan was even more surprised, "How did you find it?"

"Someone has contacted the general of the iron mine. The general of the iron mine is a member of Tiansheng. They secretly increase the amount of iron smelting and kidnap people everywhere to smelt iron. Naturally, if the iron is produced, they will take action secretly. There are several people under the general who are Specifically looking for buyers.”

"They don't even ask where you are from or what you are buying for. As long as you can afford the money, they can sell you iron."

Yan Muan raised his eyebrows, "So you can buy it in the long term?"

"You can, but you can't send it all the way here."

Yan Huailin said: "The people below got the iron and transported it separately. They went around in a long circle before going back. But there is a problem. The prince has to give some rights. There are still many checkpoints to check on the way. This time The goods were brought back in the name of the princess's mansion."

Yan Mu'an immediately sent someone to ask Yong Chang to come back. Now that the most difficult link has been solved, he can't fall into the hands of his own people.

Yong Chang came back quickly. When he arrived, Yan Mu'an and Yan Huailin had already talked about farming. When he came in, Yan Mu'an said, "Uncle, I have something to tell you."

"Uncle, please speak."

"Don't dare."

Yan Huailin was frightened. Although according to etiquette, it was okay for the prince to call him uncle, but this was the prince, and he felt like his head was about to run away when he was called uncle.

Yongchang's attitude was very dignified, "The princess and I are husband and wife, and the princess's uncle is naturally my uncle. There is no need to be polite, uncle."

Yan Huailin was frightened and felt that he would not be happy at all when he sat down. He still hoped that the prince would be high up and let him look up to him.

"Your Majesty..."

He told Yongchang exactly what he told Yan Muan, and also talked about the problems they were facing now. When he learned that the Yan family had actually accomplished these two things, Yongcheng was surprised and found out at the same time. The princess's proposal was very good. The war horses he couldn't buy were easily bought by unknown people. If he started a gang in Tiansheng and specialized in the underground market, wouldn't it be easier than working hard to climb up?

"I will handle what uncle said. Where are the pig iron and war horses now?"

Yan Huailin said he was hiding in the suburbs, "Heavenly Saint's people are here, so I dare not bring him in."

"Uncle is very cautious."

Yongchang was in a good mood, "Uncle will take me to have a look tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Yongchang said to Yan Mu'an: "Princess, can you pay one hundred thousand taels of silver from the account to the uncle? Since war horses and pig iron can be bought with money, naturally we need to buy more."

"I'll go back and get the money to make up for it."

Under the influence of Yan Mu'an, he also deeply understood the truth that money can make people work. When people do things for him, he must let people see the money.

"no problem."

Yan Muan felt that the widowed king had grown up.

Manager Hua soon came with a hundred thousand taels of silver notes, and Yan Huailin did not refuse. These were the money that should be spent by the court, and the Yan family could not afford to supplement it.

"Uncle, you take the money first, spend it as you should, let the people below get enough benefits, and be tight-lipped."

"Don't worry, they are all trustworthy people."

Yan Huailin collected the banknotes and went back. The prince went into deep reflection and was still thinking about the power of little people.
