Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Chapter 196: After the imperial edict, the women and children of the Shen family were dumbfounded!

After Shen Yuanjing left, he immediately went to Shen Lanxi's courtyard.

"I'm looking for General Shen!"

There are soldiers guarding the gate of Shen Lanxi's yard, and no matter who comes, they must notify in advance.

Ever since the last poisoning incident, everyone realized that nothing must happen to the coach.

Her powerful force makes people subconsciously think that she is invincible. In fact, as long as they are human, they will be injured and die.

No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife. No matter how strong your martial arts skills are, a packet of poison can still kill you!

Before Shen Lanxi could say anything, the people below had already made a spontaneous suggestion and adjusted her security level directly to the highest level.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if she wants to drink a sip of water now, someone will test it with a silver needle first, and Ban Si Cao will personally test the poison before giving it to Shen Lanxi.

After Shen Yuanjing went in, he found Cheng Zheng, Ban Sicao and others were still there. He immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake like a child who had done something wrong.

"General, my grandmother is old, and she doesn't know the situation in the army, so this happened!" Shen Yuanjing lowered his head to explain for his grandmother.

Shen Lanxi had no intention of arguing with them over such matters; everything was under her control.

"No need to explain for them, they can't affect anything!"

Shen Yuanjing thought, isn't he just afraid that his elder sister will get angry and bury someone?

"We are going to discuss the price again. If you want to stay and listen, then listen. If you don't want to listen, then go and rest!"

Shen Yuanjing and others naturally wanted to listen, so they quickly stood at the end of the seat obediently.

Liu Yanhui continued what he had just said: "Sorghum is now six taels of silver per dou, soybeans are ten taels of silver per dan, the better fragrant rice is already twenty taels per dou, and the slightly inferior old rice and broken rice also costs eight or nine taels of silver per dou."

"The vegetable buns in the bun shop are now 40 wen each, and some are 35 wen, which is 7 to 8 wen cheaper than before we came. Meat buns are 60 wen each, mainly because the flour and meat are expensive, and the labor costs are not much..."

Some people felt drowsy after hearing these prices, while others had bright eyes.

For example, Liu Yanhui.

"The current high prices are all due to the war. If the war is not stopped, even if we regulate prices, it will only be a temporary solution!" Liu Yan replied.

Shen Lanxi had said before that she wanted to return prices to their previous levels, and had issued several measures, but the effects were not obvious!

It is said that starting a business is easy but difficult to maintain it, and now she finally realizes it.

Shen Lanxi rubbed her temples: "If you want to lower the price, you have to invest a lot."

Liu Yan replied: "We don't have that much to invest right now!" With so many soldiers to support, the daily food and fodder alone was enough to overwhelm him.

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows; "How about picking up a group of corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen and killing them?"

Everyone thought: Don’t do that!

"No, no, we have already killed quite a few before, which is enough to deter them. If we kill more, the people will be unstable."

Shen Lanxi: "We are still short of money and food!"

Liu Yan replied: "How about the general adopting a group of adopted sons and daughters? If that doesn't work, adopted brothers and sisters will also do. We'll choose the one who offers the highest price!"

puff~

Shen Lanxi glanced over them sharply, and everyone's skin tensed up.

"We still need to control the price from the source. All grain in our area is not allowed to be sold privately. All grain must be purchased by the government. Let the government call all grain merchants together to guarantee the price. After the price stabilizes, the government can give some subsidies to the grain merchants. These... Cheng Zheng, you discuss this with Liu Yanhui!"

"Yes!"

"No matter what method you use, in three months, I want the prices of everything in our area to return to the levels before the war!"

"Yes!"

……

The new military inspector Che Mingyuan had just arrived when the imperial edict arrived!

"The Emperor decrees that Shen Lanxi, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and brave, is hereby conferred the title of Earl of Bravery, and his family name shall be hereditary for three generations..."

Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you for your grace!"

The women and children of the Shen family were dumbfounded!

Old Madam Shen fell to the ground in disbelief, and acted as if she had not heard anything until the eunuch who delivered the decree left.

How did he become an earl?

She is obviously a woman!

Old Madam Shen cried out silently and asked herself, could it be that she was wrong, and His Majesty had never wanted to take back the military power from the beginning?

Thinking of the previous falling out with her granddaughter, Madam Shen turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

What has she done!

Liu, Miao and Tian knelt on the ground, unable to speak for a long time!

It’s over, they are finished, Lan Xi will definitely hold a grudge against them!

……

Shen Lanxi led the crowd and returned to the military camp in a majestic manner!

Liu Yanhui stood aside holding the imperial edict with his chin raised high.

The first thing to do when entering the military camp is to read the imperial edict!

The general who was previously conferred the title of suppressing the rebellion was flashy but without foundation, and once the war was over, his position would be awkward. Now with the official title of Earl of Heroic Courage, Shen Lanxi has finally stepped into the court and can compete with the other men in the court.

"Should I call you General or Lord?" Che Mingyuan, dressed as a scholar, bowed to Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi sat on the tiger-skin throne, looking imposing.

"Now that I am in the army, I should be called General!"

Che Mingyuan was in his thirties, not as old as the court imagined. Instead, he had a steady physique and it was obvious that he had practiced martial arts.

"General!" Che Mingyuan called respectfully!

Qian Feng smiled and said, "General Che is still so reserved. Our general is a person who doesn't care about empty etiquette, but strength."

Che Mingyuan had a stern face and stood with his hands behind his back like an old scholar: "Etiquette cannot be abolished!"

Qian Feng already knew what kind of person Che Mingyuan was, so he explained for him: "General, this is the character of Che Jianjun. He is very strict in managing military discipline!"

Shen Lanxi had met Che Mingyuan before, but she couldn't say much in front of Wu Tong at that time.

Besides, she still hasn't figured out Che Mingyuan's purpose of coming here!

"Qian Feng, since you are familiar with General Che, you can lead General Che to familiarize yourself with the military camp."

Qian Feng immediately took the order!

Later they found her.

"General, I was forced to leave the Southwest Army. When I left, I took some useful personnel with me. Now I want to call those people to help me rectify military discipline!" Che Mingyuan called himself a subordinate and said respectfully.

Shen Lanxi looked at him with a calm expression that was hard to fathom.

Qian Feng spoke up for Che Mingyuan: "General, those who left with General Che were all good fighters in the Southwest Army, and many of them were from the Black Tiger Army. They can fight one hundred at a time. If they can come and join us, you will be even more powerful!"

Shen Lanxi looked at Che Mingyuan with dim eyes and raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"Che Mingyuan, from Zhouqiao County, Xing'an Prefecture, Pingnan Prefecture. His father was a teacher at Luming Academy, his mother ran a tofu shop at home, and he had two younger sisters and a younger brother. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. His family was implicated in the rebellion of King Li, and some of his family members died or scattered. Now you are the only one left in the Che family!"

"In the second year of Renxiao, you passed the imperial examination and served under the general of the Southwest Army, Zhao Qinggeng, the Marquis of Yong'an. You served as a counselor, a military advisor, and then a military supervisor. Two years before Zhou Ruyuan took over the Southwest Army, you were injured in an accident and resigned to return home!"
