"Sister, sister-in-law knows your difficulties, and it's not to blame this child, but your brother, who is reluctant to part with that little goblin, who is sticky all day long." The imperial concubine was furious when she heard that, "Brother, how can you do this, let's not talk about this I'm sorry sister-in-law, if someone finds out that the child's mother is our mother, we will all be finished!"

"I, I can't do this. After all, I gave birth to a child, wouldn't it be too cruel for me to do this, and besides, Yunyun doesn't know the whereabouts of this child." He lied about this, in order to coax Yunyun to open up , He also revealed one or two things, but he must not let his sister know here. "Whether you can't do it or you don't want to part with the goblin, Zhao Gui, you know it in your heart." Mrs. Zhao sneered.

"Confused, I order you to deal with her immediately, or I will do it myself."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhao is very satisfied, and Zhao Gui can only admit it with a slumped head.

After settling the matter of the child, the main purpose of Zhao Gui's trip was to ventilate with his younger sister. This time the emperor's willingness to arrange for him to escort the relief supplies must be due to his younger sister, so he also asked his younger sister how to profit from these supplies. Views.

It's not like my brother is confused.The concubine nodded in satisfaction. "There is a lot of knowledge in how to purchase the relief supplies. Let's talk about the grain first. This year's disaster, the price of rice is usually around 120 yuan per bucket, and the price of old grain is a bit cheaper, but also 100 yuan. Millet millet is priced per bucket." 80 texts. You mixed millet into the rice you bought, and you said to the outside world that you were worried about not having enough food, so you bought some cheap millet. As for whether there is more rice or more millet, this is a matter of wisdom. .”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Zhao Gui looked excited.

"Where is it?" The imperial concubine smiled and glanced at her brother, "Then you are mixing some sand into the rice. The sand is not heavy, and it won't be noticeable if it is sprinkled in the rice finely. Wash it, who knows about the sand."

"And what else?"

"Also, let's talk about this cotton padded jacket. Cotton costs 60 renminbi a catty, kapok 30 renminbi, and Ulagrass 5 renminbi. The kapok itself is similar to cotton, and the chance of being discovered is even smaller as long as it is wrapped in it."

"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced! It's like listening to my sister's words is better than reading a book for 100 years. When the money arrives, we will get [-] cents, and you will be [-] percent." Zhao Gui rubbed his hands excitedly, as if seeing each other The big ingot flew towards him.

"Look at what my brother said, my sister won't need a lot of money in the palace, so I'd better keep it for myself, and add more clothes for my sister-in-law and niece. When my niece grows up, I can't live without a few things at the bottom of the box." The words said Mrs. Zhao's heart went to her heart, and she immediately coaxed her to smile and her gloom dissipated, and Zhao Gui also followed suit.

The south was hit by a disaster, and the frontier was even more bitterly cold. After the application for materials sent to the court was rejected, the soldiers had to re-sew the old clothes from previous years.Because the cotton will dry and harden after a long time, it needs to be reprocessed every year. Looking at the situation this year, I have to make two pieces and one piece.

"Bastard, this Zhao family is really going too far. I think it's in the pocket of this bastard to say that the treasury of the disaster-stricken south is empty." The Shen family has guarded the frontier fortresses for generations. The supply to the frontier has never been cut off, and this Zhao Gui said no when he took office, and no one would believe it if he said it was not tricky. This court is really getting worse and worse.

The generals were anxious, and the soldiers were even more anxious. Seeing more and more people suffering from frostbite, the corporal leaders all had blisters on their mouths, and they all hated the Zhao family.However, what is more hateful than this is the food problem. Not to mention the poor quality of the food sent by the imperial court recently, it is also mixed with a lot of sand, making it impossible to eat. If it is not for the food Mr. Li stored before the disaster, whether it can survive the winter is a problem.

At this moment, Li Jinxi, who is so missed by people, is organizing manual overtime to rush to make cotton clothes. If the quantity is not enough, he buys ready-made clothes and furs at a high price, and collects 3000 pieces to send to the border in person.

The person who came to meet him was Ying Yi who was next to the prince. There were still some raw materials in the supplies this time, which could be sewed by the soldiers themselves, so as to solve the problem of insufficient manpower.Only when I arrived in Tongcheng did I know that the common people had voluntarily helped the soldiers remake cotton clothes, and even dismantled the old clothes at home to donate the cotton.

"It seems that the crown prince and General Shen have managed Tongcheng well."

"Mr. Li also contributed a lot. If it weren't for your food, our army would have a hard time. After all, the price of food is really changing every day."

"After all, the amount of grain I can transport is small, and it is still not enough to start a war. If the court has always maintained this attitude, then the speed of our reclamation will catch up."

"Mr. Li said so."

"Xixi, the journey has been smooth." Ever since he knew that Li Jinxi was coming, the prince often sent pigeons to inquire about Li Jinxi's location. This time, he stood at the door early to avoid seeing Xixi later.

"It's all going well, but I saw a lot of refugees along the way, and I'm afraid there will be bandits."

"You are a human being, not a god. Relief for the disaster victims is the court's business. You have already taken care of the frontier soldiers, so how can you take care of them? I heard that the court has sent special personnel to relieve the disaster. Why do you need to worry about it?"

Knowing that the crown prince was trying to comfort him, Li Jinxi smiled and did not refute. Both parties knew that they sent Zhao Gui, and there would be chaos.

"Let's go, let's go!" Energetic officials pushed the victims to both sides, and Zhao Gui, who was riding a big horse, looked at them triumphantly.Once upon a time, he was also one of these people, but now he is a popular person around the emperor, this is good luck.

"My lord—my lord—please give me something to eat." Along the way, the disaster victims knelt and worshiped endlessly, worshiping the official who appeared in front of them as a god, hoping that he would give him some hope of living .

"Why are you arguing? Didn't you see the food behind Mr. Zhao? You won't die from starvation." An official kicked the victim next to him, and the kicked man got up and continued to kneel down in gratitude.

"All right, all of them." Zhao Gui laughed triumphantly.

"Lord Zhao, I'm paying my respects to Master Zhao." The speaker was the local magistrate, with shrewd eyes on his thin face.I saw him graciously approaching and personally leading the horse for Zhao Gui.

"You are the county magistrate? I am here on the emperor's order to provide disaster relief. You can make arrangements."

"It's been arranged, it's been arranged, the official has prepared a banquet, and I'm just waiting to welcome you. I also vacated the best courtyard in the local area, just waiting for your visit." The county magistrate smiled Flattery, on par with the old bustard in the brothel.

"That's right, that's right. The county magistrate is well-governed. When I return to Beijing, I will give you some good words."

The county magistrate was overjoyed when he heard this, "I'll thank Mr. Zhao first if I take down the official."

A group of people came to the place where the county magistrate held a banquet in a leisurely manner. They really had good wine and good food, as if the natural disaster outside had never happened.But here are all smart people, and no one disputes this.

"Lord Zhao, let me introduce you. The people sitting below are all local gentry. If you have any needs during the disaster relief period, you can ask them. I believe they will help you."

Hearing this, the squires groaned inwardly, and the last glimmer of hope was shattered.Before they came here, they had hoped that the imperial envoy would have some character, but now they saw that he was just a sheep of the same breed, and they only hoped that he would not be more exaggerated than the magistrate.After all, they had already been exploited by the county magistrate once, but they couldn't stand the second time.
