Once magnificent, now brilliant

"Is there such a thing?" The emperor slapped the table and stood up, with no anger on his face, "Speak clearly!"

Qi Xiang continued: "Father has several places to store grain, and I don't know how many grain farmers there are in each place, but since it is for emergency use, the cautiousness of the father of the grass farmers must be enough to last for a while."

"How did you know the location?" the emperor continued to ask.

Qi Xiang said truthfully: "One time before, my father called Cao Min to the study to ask about homework. Cao Min accidentally saw a map with strange and incoherent markings, but he didn't dare to ask more questions at that time. Father never said these things to Cao Min. Later, It was only after I learned from my elder brother that the marking on it was where the granary was located, and the maps of several counties were put together, so it looked weird. I didn’t expect that the things that have been done for many years will be useful today.”

The emperor thought of the matter of Qi Yi valuing his sons over concubines, presumably Qi Xiang really didn't know about many things, and was really involved.As for the cliché, there is nothing wrong with it, Qi Xiang is a boy, out of curiosity, it is normal to be sensitive to maps.It was impossible for Qi Yi to tell him that he could only use this method, and it was also because the son-in-law was useless, so Qi Xiang tricked him.And it's been a matter of years, so there's no need to pursue it.

Now that I have reached this point, I have to say the whole thing, and I can't leave anything for the future, so Qi Xiang went on to say: "This matter is of great importance, and Caomin also knows that if my father does anything carelessly, it will be the death penalty of beheading." So Cao Min kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to mention a word. Although there was something wrong, it was a helpless act. After a long time, Cao Min also forgot about it. After the emperor suddenly told Cao Min about the lack of food and grass, Cao Min remembered it. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

The emperor waved his hand, "It's an old thing, and Qi Yi is no longer here. I won't pursue this matter. It's just that after so many years, can the food still be used?"

Qi Xiang said: "The grassroots cannot guarantee this matter. But at that time, I heard from my brother that the granary was made by old craftsmen, and some anti-corrosion and moisture-proof materials were also made. There are also insect-proof herbs. I dare not say that they are all intact, but they can always Some good, right? Otherwise, what would father spend all his time doing?"

The emperor nodded, "Then you quickly write down these places, and I will send someone to check the luck."

"Yes." Qi Xiang said, "Your Majesty, Cao Min has another suggestion."

"Say it straight."

"There are several storage places on the same northward route. You can directly order people to go northward, and if there is available grain, it can be directly transported northward. This will save you the trouble of going back and forth. There are granaries that will not pass. , and then send someone alone. In addition, having food and grass will naturally stabilize the morale of the army, but if you can send another reinforcement, the number does not need to be large, one or two thousand is enough. On the one hand, it can escort the food and grass northward, and on the other hand Add momentum to the army. The grassroots don't know how many people in the army know about food and grass. With the style of the fourth prince and General Bai, they must try their best to suppress the matter so as not to disturb the morale of the army. But no matter how hard they try, it is impossible to hide it Everyone who knows will be affected, so if reinforcements can be sent, the soldiers will feel at ease and understand that the emperor cares about their safety, and only then can the uneasiness and depression be resolved.

"It's a good idea, let's do it this way." The emperor agreed, it's only a thousand soldiers, it's not difficult, and as long as there is enough food and grass, there is no need to worry about anything.

The immediate problem was solved, the emperor asked Qi Xiang, "I am so relieved that you shared my worries. What do you want? As long as you don't go beyond the limits, I can satisfy you."

Qi Xiang smiled and said: "Caomin has nothing else to ask for. It is a great grace for the emperor to change his nationality for the Caomin. It is the grassland's luck that the Caomin can have the opportunity to share the emperor's worries."

The emperor laughed loudly, "I understand your thoughts, if there is food and grass available, I will reward you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qi Xiang wasn't worried at all, the good rations he exchanged for grains mixed with stones must be enough for the army to feed for a while.He had already ordered people to send most of the grain to different granaries. He had sent people to look at the grain in the granary. Although some of the grain was still edible, the stale grain was worse after all, and some of it was uneatable.He asked people to throw out the bad grain and put the good grain into the previous bag.The bags containing the grain will have the year shown, if he puts the exchanged grain directly into the bag, he will really reveal his stuff.

He doesn't put too much, just put some in each granary, so as not to arouse suspicion.when

Of course, he also kept some for himself, and the people under him still had to eat, which would save a lot of money.

Qi Xiang didn't take care of the follow-up of the grain anymore. Anyway, the people who guarded the granary had already been arranged, and they were all his own people. No matter how you say this, the arrangements are well-arranged, and it will definitely not make people suspicious.

Qi Xiang has nothing to do with the grain and grass, but he can't let go of the clothing store.

Xianzheng's action was also fast, and the tailor and embroiderer were all in place.The two of them chose a small two-story building with a yard at the back. The corner wasn't the best, but it also faced the street, so they didn't have to worry about no customers.The rent is also very reasonable, as long as it is done, the possibility of losing money is very small.

The materials also came in one after another. Ai Wu took his younger brother, Ah Cai, to put on the shelves on the first floor. The ready-made clothes on the wall were already hung up, making it easy to choose styles.The second floor is dedicated to distinguished guests. Some expensive and rare fabrics are placed on the upper side, and it is not too late to take them down if necessary.The backyard is a place for bedrooms, embroidery and tailoring of clothes. Some of the invited people have no residence in Beijing and need to be covered, which is what the shopkeeper should provide.

Everything is arranged properly, and it will open on the auspicious day.Before the opening, Qi Xiang specially asked the embroiderer and the tailor to make a suit of clothes for the Taifu with the best materials in the shop, which is considered to be a dedication.

Early this morning, Qi Xiang went to Xiangyun Temple, and wanted to ask Daoist Guo to approve an auspicious date.

Although Dachuan pays equal attention to Buddhism and Taoism, there are still more people who believe in Buddhism. On ordinary days like this, there are not too many people who visit Taoist temples.

Qi Xiang couldn't walk fast, he always had to rest for a while before continuing on this kind of mountain climbing, otherwise his body would not be able to hold on.

As soon as he stepped into the gate, the people who were walking behind him also caught up. When passing by, Qi Xiang suddenly heard the other party call his name.

Qi Xiang was startled, turned her head to look over, felt a little surprised, and called out uncertainly: "Madam Bai?"

It was none other than Bai Junyu's mother who called him.

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll make a mistake. It seems that my memory is not bad."

Qi Xiang hurriedly saluted formally, "Long time no see, madam is well."

"It's all good. If it wasn't for your help to come up with an idea, I'm afraid I won't be able to do well now." Mrs. Bai smiled softly. She had already heard that Qi Xiang's face was ruined, but this did not affect his recognition of Qi Xiang.Qi Xiang was very good-looking before. She saw her twice and was deeply impressed. She also told Bai Junyu that Qi Xiang was the prettiest among the children.At that time, Bai Junyu laughed and said, how can a man be described as a man?

"It's a little effort, Madam, don't worry about it." In fact, Qi Xiang was not prepared to see Madam Bai like this.He wanted to make a good impression on Mrs. Bai, because he liked Bai Junyu.But he felt that there was no need for that, he wouldn't be with Bai Junyu, so why did he have to impress Bai Junyu's family?After he left, I am afraid that he will never see him again in this life.

"You can't say that, no matter how big or small it is, you should be grateful for the help you receive. This means that Xi chooses to go to war, otherwise I should invite you to dinner at home." Qi Xiang is so polite, Madam Bai is more sure of her previous judgment, Qi The child Xiang's appearance has changed, but his nature will not change.

"Don't dare to bother Madam, Xi Ze has already thanked me several times, and he also took care of me a lot when I returned to Beijing, I really dare not accept Madam's thanks again."

"You're out of touch now." Madam Bai sized him up, "What are you asking for?"

Qi Xiang smiled and said: "I'm tossing around with Xianzheng to open a tailor-made clothing store, and I want to come here to pray for auspicious days. Where's Madam?"

Mrs. Bai sighed softly, "I can't rest assured when I choose to go to war. I always have to come to ask for safety, so that I can talk about comfort."

"Xi Ze has rich experience, so he is sure to win." Qi Xiang could only say auspicious words to comfort Mrs. Bai, but swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and some things are really hard to say.Moreover, Mrs. Bai must have known about the matter of mixing stones in the grain this time through General Bai, so she came here to ask for it, hoping that the war will go smoothly.

"Where is your shop? When I have time, I'll go and support it." Mrs. Bai resumed her smile, not wanting to lose her composure in front of the younger generation.

Qi Xiang said the address, "It's not a big place, but the materials that come in are indeed different.

Incorrect.If your wife comes, you can choose as much as you want. "

If Mrs. Bai comes, the first order will naturally not be accepted.But he won't show this face, he has to let Xian Xuan do it, even if he is careless, he is always afraid that Mrs. Bai will see something.

"Then I have to go." Mrs. Bai patted his arm, "Good boy, it would be great for you and Xianzheng to open a shop. If there is a suitable business in the future, you can also choose one."

Mrs. Bai's ability to say this means that she has thought clearly about the Taifu and his worries. With such a mother, Bai Junyu doesn't have to worry about it in the future.

"If he is willing, he will bring it." Qi Xiang's refusal is also to comfort Mrs. Bai, "I also wanted to add him this time, but neither Xian Xuan nor I have any experience. We have to try the water, and he has no experience." In Jingzhong, we came first by ourselves, and we can count as gaining experience."

"It's okay, Xi Ze has no experience. If you help him in the future, he will suffer less." Mrs. Bai's words were a pun, and she was talking about business, but also referring to other things.

"After all, we are classmates, and our love is no better than others. If he helps me, I will naturally help him."

Mrs. Bai smiled and nodded, "Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that before Xi Ze left, someone inquired about the houses next to his yard and nearby, saying that he wanted to buy another house. I asked later, and it turned out that he wanted to I'm helping you find a place close to him."

Qi Xiang's heart beat a few times, "He, he didn't tell me..."

He really didn't expect Bai Junyu to have such a plan, and he didn't mention it before, he only said that he could go to the General's Mansion for a short stay if he had something to do.

"This kid, Xi Ze, has always done everything well before telling others. You just pretend you don't know, or is his surprise planned for nothing?"

Qi Xiang laughed, "He has already helped me a lot, I really don't want to bother him anymore."

"What he can do is what he wants to do and what he can do. If you don't hate it, just agree to it when the time comes, and it's not in vain for him to waste his time."

Qi Xiang smiled and said nothing, he was really not sure that he would agree, "After talking for a long time, madam, let's go pay a visit, the sun will be hot soon after it rises."

"Okay. If you encounter any trouble, just go to the house to find me, don't see outsiders. When Xi chooses back, let him take you home for dinner."

"Okay, I'll make a note of it, thank you madam."

Mrs. Bai smiled and took her maid to pay homage.

Qi Xiang stood where he was, his heart was full. He was happy that Bai Junyu could do this for him, but at the same time, he was also a little worried. He was afraid that he would be unable to extricate himself from being immersed in this kind of joy. up.
