Chapter 524 (1/2)
The death of the emperor had no other influence on ordinary people except that he could not wear red and green clothes and marry. But it has a great influence on Yunqing and Yuxi.
Yuxi and Yunqing said, ”the prince must be fighting for power when he ascends the throne.” The battle in the capital has no inevitable connection with them, but Yuxi doesn't want the prince to win. The prince won, and she was not far from death.
Yunqing said, ”it's not that easy. Even if the prince wants to seize power, it will take three or five years. Now the key is Chen Yu. If Chen Yu succeeds in suppressing bandits, we will be very passive. ” Chen Yu is also a man of great courage. During this period, he selected three thousand people from six garrisons and formed a new army, which was directly called the bandit suppression army. And the soldiers Chen Yu took to the ground began to train these people. In half a month, these people will be reborn. If the two are not antagonistic, Yunqing will appreciate him very much. But they are hostile. Chen Yu is so capable, which is not good for Yunqing.
Yuxi's point of view is different, saying: ”Chen Yu's ability is really strong, but Ji Xuan and others are there. It's not so easy to succeed in suppressing bandits. He Rui, I'm worried about how to recruit you to Beijing after the crown prince ascends the throne. ” Yunqing's arrival in Beijing is likely to be a dead end.
Yun Qing is not worried about this, saying, ”this is not the case. There will be a war in the spring. Even if the imperial edict is really issued to let me go to Beijing, then he will refuse to prepare for the war.”
Yuxi nodded and didn't go to the capital for the reason of preparing for the war, but he could also say: ”Herui, I think it's better to reserve more food.” Apart from remembering the year when she died in the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, she had no impression of anything else. It's just that Yuxi has a feeling that something will go wrong this year. If there is no money, it's enough. Yunqing has money now. Yuxi thinks it's better to store more grain.
Yunqing doesn't agree with Yuxi's proposal: ”the court has no money to come down and buy food, no money.” The hidden money, Yunqing don't want to use. Is it not for those who use the wind and the waves that they teach. This is the name of the family and the people around him. Yunqing is very careful.
Yuxi said, ”he took out 200000 liang of silver to buy food. Anyway, those gold and silver have not been marked. There should be no problem. ” Seeing that Yunqing still disagreed, Yuxi said, ”if not, take out and sell the spoils stored in the secret way. No matter how much money you get, change food? ” That's more than ten cases of gold and silver. It's worth more than one hundred thousand liang of silver.
Yunqing is not opposed to using his hidden booty to exchange for food, but there is a problem: ”we will certainly stir the imperial court with such a big move in buying food.” If the court thinks they are rebellious, it's not beautiful.
Yuxi said with a smile, ”No.”
Seeing that Yuxi is so determined, Yunqing looks puzzled and asks, ”how can you be so sure?” There must be a reason to say that.
”At the end of last year, I wrote a letter to my elder brother saying that I expected there would be a drought this year,” Yuxi said. We buy food now, even if the court knows, it must think we are preparing for the coming drought. ”
Yunqing was surprised and asked, ”what do you say? Drought? How did you guess there was a drought? ” If so, we have to buy more food. Every time when encountering a disaster, the food is very tense. The soldiers have to tighten their stomachs when fighting. The people in Yucheng can only eat wild vegetables and tree roots.
”Yuxi said with a smile:” I suspect that the secret of my correspondence with big brother has been deciphered, so I used such a method to test one or two
Yunqing got angry and said, ”can you predict this kind of thing at will? If there is a real drought this year, do you think the prince will let you go?”
Yuxi didn't care and said, ”no matter what I do, the prince will not let me go. You forget that the prince was ready to kill me. ” If she had not known that the prince would have killed her, she would not have done so.
After a pause, Yuxi said: ”if the prince really knows the secret of my correspondence with brother, he is not sure that he will kill me immediately, so he can buy me time. In addition, we use this to buy more food in advance, and the prince won't be suspicious of our rebellion. ” In fact, even if we buy 200000 Liang silver, we can only buy 8.9 million stone grains. For the 100000 army, it's only two or three months' rations. It's all about rebellion. We need to know that the most important thing in revolt is weapons and equipment. What is enough food.
Yunqing's face was ugly, but he didn't scold Yuxi. He just said, ”if there is such a thing in the future, you must tell me first, and don't make decisions without permission.” Yuxi did this, so he gambled with his life, which he did not allow.
”Jade Xi hurriedly nods to say:” later will not again That is to say, she will do similar things. Because she knew very well that Yunqing would not let her do dangerous things.
Yunqing asked his concern: ”is there really going to be a drought this year?”
Yuxi shook his head and said, ”that's my nonsense, but it's often sunny this winter. I'm afraid there will be insect disaster this year.” It's not peaceful this year, but she doesn't know whether it's a flood or a drought or a pest.
