Chapter 204 "Replenishment" Comes

The first shot is the emperor.

First of all, the supplies that should be given to the Northeast Camp, give!

But the Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of War stood up: "Your Majesty, the supplies cannot be delivered at this time, and it has already snowed heavily in the northeast."

When it snows heavily, once the mountains are closed and the roads are impassable, there will be enough people and horses, not to mention the supplies, how much will it be lost if they are transported over thousands of miles?

Not only things, but also the folks who deliver things.

It’s past the time for conscription. If you want to find someone to work, you have to spend money. You should go to the Northeast in winter. You will spend a lot of money!

Otherwise, why do people travel so far away?You may not be able to come back during the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, this supply cannot be transported. If it is to be transported, it must be shipped early after the next autumn harvest, otherwise, it will snow in the northeast.

It was cold there, and when it snowed, everything had to be stopped, and it was quite hard work to travel.

It's not that they haven't been there before. The veterans who stayed from the previous dynasty have been to the Northeast to work in the Northeast. Even if they are imperial envoys, it is enough to suffer. No one is willing to go to the Northeast at this time.

The emperor was also very angry: "Then my Northeast army, just starving to death in the ice and snow?"

"Isn't it?"

"I heard that General Xiao has already raised food and grass."

The two of them were quite stubborn. Xiao Wei raised food and grass, and this matter could not be concealed. Otherwise, the temple would have been bombed in the Northeast, and it would be a big victory?

"If you have raised food and grass, then you don't need to spend money, right?" The emperor sneered: "Since there is no need for supplies, let's send money over, regardless of whether it is silver or copper coins, it will all come from the treasury. Brand new ones will be issued. For all the soldiers in the army, if there is one less copper plate, I will let Xiao Wei beat the people who will go to the army with sticks!"

"Your Majesty!" Not to mention the two of them, even a group of people knelt down to him.

Who can guarantee that the emperor didn't use the hands of General Xiao Weiwei to beat them to death?

If they hadn't been able to find a suitable replacement this time, their several ministers might not be able to stand up.

The emperor purged the corrupt officials in the court this time, it was so cruel, and the princes shrank their necks in fright.

At the same time, in order to make up for it, they are also doing everything possible to find ways to draw in the relationship with Xiao Wei, not asking for merit, but begging Xiao Wei not to sue.

This time they lost a lot, not only manpower, but also a lot of relationships, and even some property.

Many people were discussing in secret, and before the discussion came to Ziwu Maoyou, the news of Xiao Weijie came, and the emperor acted first.

"Okay, this matter is so decided, the imperial court rewarded the Northeast Camp with 100 million taels of silver!" The emperor was really generous once, after all, he was his future son. I really have nothing to say.

One million taels of silver sounds like a lot, but when distributed among 100 troops, it is only three taels per person.

However, in addition to silver, there are also a large amount of copper coins, as well as cloth and other rewards. No beef, mutton or pork was sent, because there was a big victory in Beidi, and there was no shortage of beef and mutton to eat. Just the war horses gave away [-] yuan Horses come to the capital, that is what makes the emperor happy.

There is a lack of good war horses in Beijing, and they don't sell them great war horses on the grasslands, they can only rely on the capture after victory.

What's more, the emperor issued an imperial decree and granted a marriage.

Brother Xi gave a marriage to the general Xiao Wei, and sent the eunuch beside him to read out the imperial decree. The palace also prepared a large amount of dowry and sent it to Beidi.

It was all prepared for Brother Xi, and there were hundreds of servants.

They are all going to serve the eldest son.

I don't know how Xiao Wei reached a tacit agreement with the emperor. The emperor allowed Brother Xi to live in the Northeast Mansion and build a General's Mansion.

However, Xiao Wei is also allowed to build an ancestral house in his hometown. In fact, there is no need to build it. The old Xiao's house is good.

But Brother Xi can build a separate courtyard in Yushu Village where Lao Xiao's family is located.

The emperor's "replenishment" has not yet reached the Northeast. When the preparations began in Beijing, other people were also thinking of a way.

The first prince was pushed down, and the second prince was proud.

Although he won in the end, he also won miserably, and his own people and affairs were not less tossed.

There was no good news from the north, so he had no choice but to speak up himself, urging his subordinates to do it quickly.

Except for the second prince, the third prince and other princes were not idle. Although it was very cold in the north, they fought hard for that chair.

The third prince's staff gave him advice: "I heard that General Xiao Weiwei has three cousins, why not accept one of them into the mansion, what do you think? After all, he is a cousin."

"This... can it work?" In the backyard of the third prince, there was a main prince and concubine and two side princes and concubines.

The two side concubines are also from famous families, and the power behind them is not small.

There are also four concubines who entered his backyard for various reasons.

"Why not?" The staff members were full of confidence. After all, those women in the backyard of the third prince were drawn in in this way, forming the huge power of the third prince today.

"However, there are all the main concubines, side concubines, and concubines in the backyard." The third prince said unhappily: "The girl is here to be a concubine? Do you think that a lowly concubine can make Xiao Xiao feel like a concubine?" The great general, serve this king?"

This is not my sister, but my cousin.

If you don't give me a high position, how can I do it?

"As far as I know, the aunt of the Xiao family is just an ordinary village woman, and she is also a divorced woman. Can her daughter marry well? Who can compare to the Prince's Mansion?" Pretty self righteous.

"Then send someone to do it!" The third prince had no other choice, the eldest fell down, the second came up, and he was the third, neither occupying the upper hand, nor a direct descendant.

The staff went down to prepare.

The fourth prince is also full of talents, and the idea of ​​several disciples is to marry, and they set their target on Xiao Fulang.

"General Xiao's younger brother?" The fourth prince frowned: "Isn't he married?"

"Although Xiaofulang is married, his husband is a hunter. He is a wealthy landowner in the countryside. What can he know? Let's send him a beautiful woman to be his wife, let them reconcile, and then you send someone to come and take him in." In the door, just give me the position of side husband!" Door guest A suggested: "After all, he is the younger brother of General Xiao, what can a little brother do? It is best to be able to conceive and give birth to a brother, then It's safe."

Yes, what cousin are you looking for?How can there be a brother "kiss"!

"A little husband..." The fourth prince was a little unhappy. If it was a little brother, he would still be a little interested.

"The main thing now is to capture General Xiao. He wants to marry the eldest son, who is still the Marquis of Zhenbei. He has an army of 30 and is able to get supplies for an army of 30. The spoils must be rich!"

"With his support, there will be no shortage of war horses, cattle and sheep."

"Even things on the grassland can be used by me!"

"What good things can there be on the grassland?" The fourth prince didn't like the grassland very much.

What else do you think besides war horses, cattle and sheep?

"There are also gold and silver treasures on the grassland!"

"Yes, after all, there are rich places on the grasslands."

A group of doormen chattered and said, which made the fourth prince feel more at ease: "Then go and try it, and don't give the position of side husband. After all, he is a second-married brother. Give it to a concubine." Lang's position is good, and when he has a child, he will be promoted to the position of side-husband Lang."

The fourth prince is a conceited man.

But he had to bow his head to the reality and win over Xiao Wei, but he felt awkward in his heart, so he refused to give the position of side husband, only the title of a concubine.

"Yes, yes!" The disciples also knew that the fourth prince was already very good at accepting a second-married husband, and he didn't dare to continue to cause trouble for the master, so he had to go down and discuss it by himself.

Because the fifth prince was newly married, although there were already people in the backyard, he didn't have much idea. He was not too powerful, and he couldn't reach far, so he could only wander around the capital now.

The sixth prince is the easiest, he ran to find the emperor!

"Father, my son wants to go to the Northeast." The sixth prince is the same age as Brother Xi, but his birthday is earlier than Brother Xi. When they were young, the two had a good relationship: "Give Brother Xi a marriage."

"It's fine for you to go." The emperor looked at him for a long time before nodding: "But you go and see brother Xi."

"Understood, father!" The sixth prince nodded calmly: "Can I bring something for brother Xi? It's just a makeup."

"Yes." The emperor nodded.

The sixth prince went back to prepare.

The emperor's imperial decree came sooner than the reward, Xiao Wei and the others received the imperial decree in the camp.

There are three imperial edicts in total.

The first is of course a compliment, and then a reward. In addition to 100 million taels of silver, which is given to the promised soldiers, there are also 30 copper coins. The usual amount of copper coins is [-], which is given out in full.

30 bolts of fine cotton cloth, although they are of primary color, are also gifts from the imperial court.

30 pieces of cotton cloth, this is the blue flower cloth of batik.

[-] bolts of scarlet silk, [-] bolts of brocade, and [-] bolts of silk.

Money can be transported, but rewards such as cloth can only be transported after the beginning of spring. After all, the road in the northeast is really difficult now.

Xiao Wei agreed, since there is no shortage of things here anyway.

But if the requirements are not to be short of catties, let alone moldy cloth, then he will really make a fuss.

The other party was wronged, so naturally they agreed to everything, as long as General Xiao didn't beat them all to death.

The second imperial decree was to grant Xiao Wei a title, the title of Marquis of Zhenbei. Given Xiao Wei's achievements, he should have had a title a long time ago. The credit for this time is too great, it doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't give it.

The title of Marquis of Zhenbei is not high, but it is not low either.

The third imperial decree is the bestowal of marriage.

Give the eldest son, Brother Xi, a marriage to Zhenbeihou, the general Xiao Wei.

Everyone knows something about the gift of marriage. After all, Brother Xi came to the Northeast, and the eldest son lived in Xiao's house as soon as he came.

And giving a title to a marriage is also a means to increase Xiao Wei's status.

And brother Xi is the brother of the royal family after all.

The edict of bestowing marriage had to be read twice, once in Northeast Camp for Xiao Wei, and once in Yushu Village for Brother Xi.

The one who went to Yushu Village to proclaim the decree was the sixth prince, and the one who went to the Northeast Camp to proclaim the decree was the emperor's personal eunuch, Mr. Hua.

Before the imperial decree came, Tie Qing and the others were busy, it was almost the fourth day of October, and Xiao Hui's wedding was coming.

Tie Qing sat at home with Brother Xiao, instead of going out for a walk, they were talking about adding makeup to Xiao Hui.

"How much did the parents give?" Tie Qing said: "We can't exceed the family."

"I heard from my mother that I will give you 20 taels of silver to put on the bottom of the box and a pair of gold bracelets." Xiao Geer said: "And my parents and we are going to give them away for marriage."

According to the rules, when a married girl is sent off to her relatives, the people who go are all relatives, but they cannot be their parents.

When Xiao Hui got married, the people who sent her off were the whole family of the old head Xiao, the whole family of the sixth uncle Xiao and the eighth uncle Xiao, and even the peers like Tie Qing and brother Xiao.

This is the mother's family.

There are two candidates for pressing the sedan chair, the eldest grandson of Uncle Xiao Liu's family and the eldest grandson of Uncle Xiao Ba's family.

There are also families in the village who are better friends with Aunt Xiao's family, and they can also be married off.

Including people like Lao Shao's family and Fu Fulang.

"The wedding is for sure, take our own carriage." Tie Qing said: "But how much do we pay for makeup? Ten taels of silver?"

"Give ten taels of silver in cash, two hanging new copper coins, and a pair of...gold earrings, the gold bracelet mother gave it." Xiao Geer thought: "What do you think?"

"You can figure it out, I'm not very good at this." Tie Qing said: "Do you see if there are any new gold earrings in the warehouse? If not, you have to buy them."

"Yes, there are dozens of pairs." Brother Xiao said, "No one wears them."

Sister-in-law Xinghua is the only female family member at home. During Chinese New Year last year, brother Xiao gave sister-in-law Xinghua a pair of gold earrings. They are not big, but they are very dazzling.

"Then I will give you a golden armband?" Tie Qing thought for a while, "husbands also have armbands, don't they?"

"I don't want it." Brother Xiao said with disgust: "It feels weird. If it's made into armbands, why don't you give it to Genfuro? He might like it."

Yuan Fulang is bound to be a brother of a foreigner.

"How could you think of giving it to him?" Tie Qing was a little surprised, this golden armband was not something that was given casually, it was made of gold, so expensive!

"Because I heard Wu Fulang ask Yuan Fulang, are the general's clansmen unhappy when they beat foreign enemies?" Brother Xiao said lonely: "Yuan Fulang said that his clansmen are all dead, he It was because he fled to the pass that he survived, if he hadn't met his husband, he would have died long ago."

"so?"

"So he doesn't hate us, and he is even grateful to Big Brother, because the people who killed his tribe are the tribe that Big Brother defeated." Brother Xiao said: "Give him a gold one, and make him happy."

After all, the big revenge has to be avenged, Brother Xiao thought, Yuan Fulang is also a very good person here, he talks and chats with him, and works hard.

"Listen to you, make an armlet for Fulang Yuan, but not now, during the Chinese New Year, give it to him!" Tie Qing said: "Give a gold bracelet to Sister Xinghua, and make an armband for Fulang Wu. Forget it, make four, you two, one for each of them."
