The baby-making system is unreliable

Xuanzhou Governor's Mansion, this place has long been occupied by Ye Lin, the snow has long melted, and it has been more than three months now.

It was a little chilly in spring, and we spent some time discussing household registration issues yesterday, and it was already evening when we dispersed.

Early the next morning, Shi Yubai was said to be ill, so he asked a doctor to see him. The doctor said he seemed to have caught a cold, so he did not come to the meeting.

Continuing with yesterday’s discussion, Ye Lin invited a few advisers to have a talk, but nothing was achieved after half an hour.

Because of the late spring cold, the room was extremely stuffy. It was even a bit depressing to huddle together, so Ye Lin asked them to disperse.

"After all, we still have to issue a document to publicize the household registration management. Let's draft the document in the next few days and then take a look."

After saying that, Ye Lin rubbed the corners of his eyes, feeling really stuffy and as if he couldn't breathe, so he got up and walked around the yard.

The letter was delivered by a carrier pigeon and landed in the yard. He opened it and looked at it. Seeing that he was smiling as if he had picked up money, He Yu was sure that it was a letter from his wife.

Yun Xirou did not reply to every letter, mainly because Ye Lin wrote too frequently, almost writing three or five letters every day.

I wrote a letter this morning, writing down what I had eaten in the morning. After noon, I wrote again, writing down what I had eaten at noon. Uh... not every letter has a focus, but every letter may contain something important.

"Cough cough cough..."

A cough woke him up. Ye Lin knew who it was without even raising his head. He said nonchalantly, "If you are sick, go see a doctor. After all, it is easy to get sick when the seasons change!"

You are quite enthusiastic, huh? Thank you so much! !

Hearing this, the visitor froze for a moment, patted the dust off the corner of his clothes, chuckled and said, "It's rare to see you like this, it really opens my eyes!!"

This man was Ma Yanxi, wearing a blue robe with rustling ornaments hanging on it, as if he was afraid that others didn't know how rich he was, the legendary richest man in Bozhou.

"If you have something to say, say it now. You didn't come all the way here just to see me, did you?! There's no need to do that. I have a lovely wife at home, so keep your distance. Don't even think about crossing the line!!"

Ye Lin rolled his eyes. This guy was dressed like a peacock. Was he showing off his wealth? There was no need for that! ! He was not without money. There was really no need for that! !

Ma Yanxi turned the ring on his finger, and a flattering smile appeared on his face: "I sent the shopkeeper to help you, and I came to deliver a message. What do you think?"

As far as he knew, Ye Lin gave the account book to Ye Yi. He guessed that it was to make them fight among themselves. As long as the capital was in chaos, he would have time to free up his hands, and the next target would be Yicheng.

During this month, Ye Yi secretly assassinated the second prince three times, and Ye Chen directly impeached him for hiding assets and concealing mineral resources.

This is a fight to the bitter end. If he can't get any benefits, he will just report it and hand it over to the authorities. No one else will want it!!

As for Ma Yanxi, he followed Ye Lin and added fuel to the fire, giving some information to those fish in Bozhou, and killing a few spies, letting them fight each other.

"You came at the right time. I have asked people to prepare some supplies. It will take at least half a month to deliver them to the army. Since the day I took charge of Xuanzhou, I have strictly checked the goods entering and leaving Xuanzhou, especially food supplies."

The first thing Ye Lin did was to check the goods flowing out of Xuanzhou, so that he could suppress the people who helped Bian Shu.

However, in addition to those entering and exiting the city gates, there are also some mountain roads and paths in Xuanzhou, and it is very likely that there are still some fish that have slipped through the net.

Therefore, he had to conduct a thorough investigation on both ends, not only in Xuanzhou City, but also in the capital. Otherwise, the transportation of materials here would be impossible to prevent.

Just in these two days, Prime Minister Han submitted a memorial to His Majesty, bringing up the issue of retaining hostages again, which sparked a discussion for a while.

Yao Wenjin retorted to Han Cheng in the court on the grounds that the four cities were facing a war, in order to avoid hurting the hearts of the soldiers in the army.

In this case, according to the efficiency of the court, it would probably take several months for this matter to have a result. However, the Ministry of Revenue was afraid that it could not provide military rations, and the court kept making excuses, which made His Majesty so angry that he threw up his sleeves and left the court.

It will take Ye Lin two or three months to sort out the household registration and formulate new regulations. Ma Yanxi's sending of people here will indeed speed up the process.

Therefore, he sent He Yu back to the capital to secretly visit Yao Wenjin and at the same time find out who in the capital was providing supplies to Bian Shu.

It would be faster if we investigated both places at the same time. The issue of the hostage was not mentioned again. The court was now more concerned about the issue of money.

The army could not afford supplies, so the soldiers could not eat enough to fight. General Wu Qing returned to Duanzhou two months later and fought several battles with his soldiers. They won more and lost less, but the battles were very difficult and were ineffective.

Another month passed, and she finally began to worry because she was worried about the military rations for next month. If this continued, the soldiers in the army would have nothing to eat again, how could she not worry! ?

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue of the imperial court had been passing the buck for several months, but the issue of military rations was still not settled. It seemed that she had to borrow grain again.

The kind of grain that may not be returned after borrowing!!! Immediately, she redeployed her defenses, rode to Yongzhou, and went directly to meet the Yun family father and son.

The heroic girl's long hair fluttered in the wind, and there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but she still walked briskly and neatly.

When Yun Lianzhuo saw the girl, his eyes flashed, and he remembered that his child used to be so energetic, but now he has become more calm.

There are quite a few guests in the big tent today. Jiang Liujun from Jizhou and the Ji brothers and sisters from Aozhou are all here. It is really lively.

Why didn't the two great defenders come to defend the city properly, but instead ran to Yongzhou's camp?

General Wu Qing nodded slightly to the only elder at the top of the table, then turned to a few acquaintances and said, "Oh, it seems that I came at the right time. Everyone is here!!"

"Hello, Sister Wu. What a coincidence! We meet again!"

Jiang Liujun waved his hands to indicate, which was quite conspicuous. He played with the wine glass in his hands, looking like a sunny young man.

He had just arrived yesterday and visited his sister and his little nephew who was almost there during the day.

As for the other two, they came early this morning. One can't help but sigh that it's good to be close, and they can even go back in time in the evening.

"Since you are all here, it must be for food and fodder."

There is no other reason besides this, everyone has little money!!

Yun Lianzhuo looked around and saw that everyone was silent. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the war situation is tense right now. We can't rely on the Ministry of Revenue in the short term. Our top priority is to find a way to solve the problem of military rations."

This is the best time to win people's hearts. In order to make a living, people will naturally do anything.

After thinking about Ye Lin who was still in the mansion, he would not reveal his identity at this moment, so he could only let Shi Yubai come forward first.

The two siblings of the Ji family knew what was going on, so they sat there and watched the show leisurely. Yun Guangying did the same. Calculating the time, it was almost time.

General Wu Qing nodded, found a place to sit, covered his head with a headache, and said, "Yes, I came here to borrow grain this time. No matter what the court does, we have to find a way to get enough food."

She said this bluntly, and it was the same every time. She was arrogant to begin with, and if the court didn't give her food, then don't expect to be able to control her when she raised the food.

Jiang Liujun scratched his head. He had long been accustomed to the situation of Yizhou being out of food. He spread his hands helplessly and said, "The situation in Jizhou is not optimistic either. The defenders have been tightening their belts. This is not a solution..."

The atmosphere in the tent was tense and everyone was silent. At this time, a gentle but firm voice broke the silence: "Generals, please be patient. I know that the soldiers are short of food and you are worried. I am willing to do my best to solve your problems."

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a young man slowly walking into the tent. He was wearing simple and elegant clothes, with a handsome face and clear and firm eyes.

He was Shi Yubai. He walked to the center of the tent, faced the soldiers, and said solemnly, "I am Shi Yubai from Xuanzhou. I can provide food and fodder for the army."

When General Wu Qing saw his appearance, his expression froze slightly, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he secretly sighed that this man looked really weak: "Oh? What is your purpose? The Shi family has long been in decline. What can you promise? Why should we believe you!?"

He glanced at each general, and said in a sincere and genuine tone: "The Shi family is the Shi family. I said I came from Xuanzhou, not on behalf of the Shi family."

"Who is the master behind you? It can't be the two princes in the capital, right? They can't control us!!"

Jiang Liujun sneered and tapped the cup on the table with his fingers, obviously not trusting the character of the two princes.

Which two of them can be trusted? Pie in the sky can fall!! He doesn't believe it!!

"Brother Jiang, don't say that. Let's listen to what he says. It won't be too late for us to make a decision."

Ji Shuang turned slightly to glance at him, and asked Han Yue to bring the sour grapes on her table to him. This was his favorite, but she didn't like it.

This was to shut him up. Jiang Liujun smiled and said nothing. He lowered his head and half-lying down, looking at Ji Shuang, who was still as beautiful as before.

But when did she have beads on her hands? How come he didn't know?

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes, picked a grape and stuffed it into his mouth with some dissatisfaction, feeling a little depressed.

"The four cities are all far away from the emperor, how can the people in the capital care? The only thing they can control is the supplies, so they are naturally unwilling to let go easily. Otherwise, they will not be able to control these tens of thousands of soldiers. Such situations often happen, and you will be controlled by the capital."

This clearly means that there is someone behind Shi Yubai, although he doesn't say it but it's not those two, who can help them not be controlled by the group of people in the capital.

When everyone was silent for a while, he continued, "But have you ever thought about getting rid of their control completely? If we can get supplies from other places, then the initiative will be in our hands!!"

"How bold! Really bold! Such provocative words, not to mention whether we have much resources. The wars are frequent now, although not serious, but also time-consuming. If we turn against the capital, there are 200,000 or 300,000 troops from the border outside and 40,000 imperial guards from Tianyi inside. At that time, we will be attacked from both sides!!!"

General Wu Qing took a gulp of wine and spoke directly in a crisp voice. What she said made sense. As a famous general of Duanzhou, she was very clear-headed! !

If it is true as he said, then if something happens, they will be the ones who suffer the greatest losses if the fighter plane is delayed since they are so far away from each other.

"Sister Wu is right. Among the four cities, only Yongao and Yongao are close to each other. The other two cities are still several days away from each other. If the situation changes, and everyone fights for a while, we in the area with inconvenient transportation will suffer."

Jiang Liujun sat up straighter with his chin resting on his hand. He put away his unserious attitude and really looked like a young general.

"So, I have an unseemly proposal. Let's mobilize the soldiers, strengthen the communication between the states, support each other, and completely integrate the four cities together!"

When Shi Yubai said this, everyone was stunned. The four cities indeed had little contact with each other and did not interfere with each other in their fighting strategies.

The only time they interfere is probably when they are borrowing grain, as they are now.

Because each general has his own way of leading troops, and the soldiers are also familiar with the general's way. It was hard to imagine when I heard someone say this for the first time.

"No, if we do that, the soldiers will have to move with us. It will make too much noise if we mobilize the troops back and forth. It's not appropriate."

Yun Guangying frowned, thinking that this move was too aggressive and not conducive to the coordination between the generals.

"General, what if the generals are transferred and exchanged? This way, the generals can first adapt to the soldiers. In the later stage, we can even fight in four cities at the same time and cooperate with each other."

Shi Yubai's words instantly caused a thousand waves, and everyone's heads were buzzing for a moment.

He said things that no one had ever thought about, or even if they had thought about it for a moment, they had never said it out loud.

"Then there won't be a need for much noise, and it will also allow the soldiers to get to know each other!"

Ji Shuang said lightly, tightening the grip of the cup in her hand, and after thinking about it, she felt that it was not impossible.

"That's feasible. It's indeed feasible and can also train the coordination speed between the general and the soldiers."

General Wu Qing's eyes lit up when she heard this. She liked this kind of challenge. She had heard that the soldiers of Yongzhou were good at using the mountainous terrain to wage guerrilla warfare, and the soldiers of Aozhou were skilled in both cavalry and infantry.

I've always thought that if I had a chance to see for myself, it would be even better if I could fight a couple of battles with them, and now this opportunity has come.

"This can indeed make the soldiers who have been silent for a long time 'active'. In this way, everyone will move."

Yun Lianzhuo smiled as he thought about it, stroked his beard with one hand, looked around at the group of young people, and said, "I am an old man, I am old, I will not mess around with you young people anymore."

……

In the Yongzhou General's Mansion, after the rain, the courtyard was still a little damp.

"My little nephew is so cute, Xiao Yu'an, Xiao Yu'an, I am your aunt, call me aunt."

Yun Xirou looked at her little nephew babbling in the crib and couldn't help wanting to tease him.
