Qin Rui's eyes widened when he heard this, and he raised his hands high, "Father, my brothers are not doing their jobs properly! They hunted on the patrol road! I want to report them!"
"Forget it!" The second brother Qin Yan slapped Qin Rui's hand away, "I don't believe you didn't have this idea on the way? It's just that you can't find it when you look back!"
Qin Rui chuckled, "I really can't find it. Not to mention the heavy snow is really evil. It's so white that my eyes are almost going blind!"
When Qin Rui said this, everyone was silent for a moment, "Lao Wu, there are indeed people whose eyes were blinded by heavy snow, which is called snow blindness. Therefore, after being out on patrol for a while, they have to come back and repair it for half a month. You must do it during this half month.
Protect your eyes at home." The elder of the Qin family said.
"Are you really blind?" Qin Rui asked in shock.
"I'm really going blind, I've seen too much!" Erlang also said seriously.
"Then I'll be sleeping from tomorrow on!" Qin Rui was startled. He didn't want to be blind. If he turns around, his Ayu might not like her. Speaking of which, she hasn't liked him until now, just because of him.
It can only help her get rid of King Chen's dilemma.
Thinking of this, Qin Rui couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
Seeing that Qin Rui's expression was obviously dim, his brothers thought that he was worried about his eyes, so they comforted him, "It's okay. The military doctor in our military camp said that snow blindness also varies from person to person, but most people
Some people can't bear to see white snow for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't have made the rule that in heavy snowy days in winter, they have to rest for half a month before patrolling. Eat more carrots, the military doctor in the military camp said this is good for your eyes."
"Sure! I'll turn into a rabbit tomorrow!" Qin Rui's sadness went as quickly as it came. He has always been a big-hearted person, so when his brothers said this, he replied with a smile.
"Well, this snow blindness cannot be ignored." Qin Liyang also nodded, "Just stay at home and have a good rest these days."
"Okay!" Qin Rui smiled.
The whole family gathered together for a reunion dinner to make up for the 15th day of the first lunar month. After everyone dispersed in the dead of night, Qin Liyang sat in his study and waited for news from the housekeeper.
This time he asked the housekeeper to contact a rice and grain merchant in Linchuan City. This person is the largest rice and grain merchant in Linchuan. The food for the army for ten days is not a small amount. If Linchuan City still has
Who can do it, probably only him!
Not only eating steamed buns every day, but also eating porridge three times a day, this amount is still amazing!
As soon as the housekeeper came back, he came to Qin Liyang's study. Qin Liyang knew from the look on his face that the news would not be good.
"Is there no food to sell or is there no food to sell?" Qin Liyang looked at the very ugly expression on the butler Qin Shu's face and asked calmly.
"Coming back to Marshal, it's not that we have no food to sell, nor that we don't want to sell it, but that we don't have enough money!" Qin Shu said very embarrassed, "When that guy heard our number, he asked for 30,000 taels! But we
There are only more than 10,000 taels, which is more than double the difference."
"Profiteer!" Qin Liyang slapped the table and immediately became angry, "The more than 10,000 taels I have received is already 1,000 taels higher than the current market price! How can he have the nerve to open his mouth?"
"Isn't it because he is the only one who has so much food now? The rice and grain shops in Linchuan all act based on his expression. If he refuses to nod, others will not dare to sell it!" Qin
Shu said helplessly.
"Isn't he afraid that I will raid his granary?" Qin Liyang said angrily.
"He said that he has people in the capital. If Marshal Qin dares to do this, there will be trouble in the capital soon. Then he will have no control over what we order!" Qin Shu quickly replied.
.
"How dare a small businessman frame me?" Qin Liyang angrily slapped the table again.
"Marshal, calm down." Qin Shu clasped his fists and said, "One of his uncles is now a disciple of His Highness King Chen. The marshal must really think more carefully..."
King Chen! King Chen again!
King Chen assisted the Ministry of War and transferred Qin Rui to this place. The food and grass given to him by the Ministry of War consisted of 30% rice bran! Now even the nephew of one of his disciples dares to be so arrogant...
Ever since he received the problematic batch of military rations, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"What are they going to accuse us of? Supporting the troops to respect themselves? Conspiracy?" Qin Liyang snorted.
"Commander, people's words are terrible." Qin Shu sighed. "Why don't we buy half of him first to see if we can solve the urgent need first, and then ask if there is food in other places."
"Linchuan is already the largest city in the Mobei Frontier Fortress..." Qin Liyang sighed, "The place next to it is not very good, I am afraid that even if it supplies itself, it can only be considered just right."
He only had so much money, and it was all from his own private money.
If he couldn't buy enough food, would he really have to feed rice bran to the soldiers stationed at the border for the remaining five days?
These people have been with him through life and death for many years, but he can't bear it, and he can't! It's such a cold weather, and there's no food to eat, there will really be soldiers who will remonstrate with them. Once something like this happens, the consequences will be really unimaginable!
"Let me think about it again!" Qin Liyang has been in the army for more than 20 years and has never been so sad now.
At the same time, His Majesty, who was far away in the capital, received a sum of silver from his son.
"Father, I heard that my father is going to rebuild Chengtian Palace and Yinxian Terrace. This is five hundred thousand taels of silver to honor my father and help him build Chengtian Palace and Yinxiantai as soon as possible." King Chen took out a big
The box indeed contained several thick stacks of banknotes.
The emperor was very happy when he heard this.
"You still know what I'm thinking!" He immediately looked at King Chen with joy, "But where did you get this large sum of money?"
"To be honest with you, my father, my son is currently in charge of the Ministry of War. It is the result of the hard calculations made by everyone in the Ministry of War and the reduction of some military expenses. If there is any credit, it is the credit of the entire Ministry of War, not the son's. If the father wants to issue a decree to reward him,
, then he commended the Minister of War and the Minister of War!" King Chen said with a smile.
"Oh? Do they know how to be frugal now? Don't they come to me every time to cry for poverty, asking for money here and there?" His Majesty looked at his son in surprise, "You go and get a deal
Just by taking care of it, you can get money out of it? Don’t you think you’ve deducted military pay?”
"How can such a thing be done? The soldiers are working hard for Da Xie. How can the ministers deduct their pay? Even the Ministry of War has calculated a little surplus from the grain and grass! They dare not keep this surplus, naturally.
I leave it to you, Father!" King Chen said respectfully.
"It's good that you didn't deduct military pay!" The emperor nodded. He thought it was just a little bit of the general's rations. It doesn't matter if he eats a little bit less!
