The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 98
Nowadays, there are too few people who can be used in the court.Or it should be said that there are not many people left in the court who should be used and the emperor dares to use them, otherwise it would not be worthwhile to let Yan Qing, who has already resigned, escort the relief supplies to the south.

Since the first emperor came to the throne, the imperial examination room, which was originally an examination room for selecting talents regardless of rich or poor, has gradually become a world where the children of aristocratic families can show their skills.

These people enter the court with their families on their backs. Even if there are one or two who are dedicated to the people, few of them can abandon the interests of the family when the interests of the family conflict with the interests of the people, unless those of their respective families advocate the former. People-oriented.

However, in the already filthy environment, the children of these aristocratic families, together with the families behind them, are extremely vulnerable to being excluded and suppressed.

Come and go, there is no way for a poor family to be promoted, there is no place to tell loyalty, no chance to display talents, above the court, the family is intrigues, and they are all busy fighting for power and profit. In the future, you need to learn to be sophisticated and tactful, and put on a cover of indistinguishable truth and falsehood, so as to protect yourself in the chaos.

What he didn't know before, after a round of return from life and death, Yan Qing really saw clearly what it means to be loyal and hard to live in the temple.

Since the first emperor, the chaos in the Wu'an court has already begun to appear, and to this point, it can be said that it has been a long-standing evil.

In the early morning of the second day, at the west gate of Kangdu City.

All the members of the Yan Family Army were ready to go, including the Chijia Battalion brought back by Yan Family Army and Meng Shulan who had returned to Beijing with Yan Qing, the entire team had as many as 5000 people.

Due to Liu Zhao's rebellion, all the members of the Yan family army are temporarily under the command of Zeng Chengwen.

Seeing the city gate creaking open, Zeng Chengwen looked over and saw a group of chariots and horses coming out of the city, led by Yan Qing.

Zeng Chengwen was about to go up to greet him, but was stunned by the team following behind Yan Qing.

Not to mention the nearly a hundred government soldiers following Yan Qing, what happened to those four carriages?

Judging by the depth of the ruts, the first two of the four carriages should be people sitting on them, and the rear should be belongings.

He did know that Yan Qing planned to take Yan Qin's family to the north, and probably would not come back again, four carriages with people and belongings were considered rare.

But it would be fine if it was any other time, now they are going to Jicheng to raise relief food funds, and rush to Yuhuai as soon as possible to carry out disaster relief work.

This road is a race against time, isn't it noisy with such a heavy carriage?
What's more, Mrs. Hou is a person of great wealth and wealth. If you follow them on the road, can you bear the rush?

Zeng Chengwen intuitively felt that Yan Qing shouldn't be such an ignorant person, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't convince himself that there was nothing wrong with Yan Qing's decision.

When Yan Qing's chariots and horses were still some distance away from the team of Yan's army, Zeng Chengwen stepped forward to meet him, glanced at the team behind Yan Qing, lowered his voice, and said to Yan Qing with a little resentment: "Little General , we are going to march in a hurry. You... are not suitable!"

"Nothing, they just follow us to Jicheng."

Yan Qing knew what Zeng Chengwen was worried about, "When we arrive in Jicheng, ask Hongzhuang to bring the soldiers and some brothers to send Madam and them back to the Northland."

Saying that, Yan Qing raised his chin towards the last two carriages in the team, "The two carriages behind are loaded with gold, silver and cloth. If time is short, these things can be packed. After arriving in Jicheng, Taking advantage of Jicheng officials’ time to raise grain funds, take the gold and silver to the city and surrounding areas to collect grain, and send the cloth and silk to the embroidery workshop in the city to make clothes. At that time, everything will be pulled to Yuhuai.”

Zeng Chengwen was taken aback when he heard this, and asked subconsciously, "Two carts of gold, silver, and cloth?"

Looking at the weight of the two carriages, the gold, silver and cloth must have weighed more than a thousand catties, right?
Sure enough, Hou Ye's poverty is different from theirs.

"The main reason is that the holy majesty rewarded it a few days ago and distributed the rest to the brothers."

Yan Qing said, "Time is running short, and there is no time to exchange many things. When I go to Jicheng, the cloth will be sent to the cloth shop first, and the silk and satin will be replaced with burlap cotton cloth, and then sent to the embroidery workshop to make clothes. After winter , the weather in the south is about to drop, more cotton-padded clothes, and fewer people will freeze to death.”

Zeng Chengwen's heart ached, and his face burned.

Just now he thought that Lord Hou had concealed his selfishness from the family business he earned before, but now he heard Yan Qing talk about the emperor's rewards, and he suddenly remembered this matter.

After the emperor's reward came down that day, Yan cleared and repaid Yin Shiniang's debt to the court, and let people distribute the rest to reward the brothers.

It was because they felt that the gold was too hot to touch, so they let Yan Qing keep some of it.

On the other hand, no one took silks and satins, and basically left them to Yan Qing.

How can people who fight in the army use that?

Even if you want to send it home, you still have to worry about getting bumped on the road, getting damaged or dirty and affecting the quality.

But never thought that Yan Qing would donate all of it this time.

He was the one who distributed the bounty to his brothers, and he knew exactly how much gold was left for Yan Qing.

I don't know how many catties it is, but the total is only two palms.

It can be seen that the load of the chariots and horses is really not the load of a box of gold and hundreds of pieces of cloth.I'm afraid that a lot of family property has been replaced in order to have such a load.

This wave of Yan Qing can be regarded as bankrupt.

Zeng Chengwen was so ashamed of his previous thoughts that he immediately decided to share half of the reward this time.

As for the remaining half, I have to give it to my mother-in-law when I go back.

There are still six people in the family eating, so he can't go back empty-handed.

Zeng Chengwen asked himself that he didn't have Yan Qing's courage to spend his family's wealth, and because of this, he admired Yan Qing even more.

Here Zeng Chengwen's emotions are changing, while Yan Qing is still talking about arrangements: "Waterlogged lands are prone to fever and plague, and when we arrive in Jicheng, we will buy some lime powder and put them in waterproof boxes. There was dampness on the road. After arriving in Yuhuai, first disinfect the resettlement house with lime powder before moving in."

Zeng Chengwen should be one by one, so he almost took out a notebook and memorized it, but it's a pity that he can't read.

"Also prepare some typhoid medicine. If there is a doctor who is willing to go south with him, he will definitely entertain them."

Taking advantage of the time while waiting for Meng Shulan, Yan Qing explained to Zeng Chengwen all the things he could think of that needed to be prepared.

I don't expect him to remember everything now, but I just hope that if he doesn't remember it for a while and forgets something, one more person will remember it and remind each other.

Zeng Chengwen thought the same way, so he listened very carefully, and didn't feel that it was too early for Yan Qing to say these things.

While the two were talking, Hong Zhuang had already arranged the team going north.

The team going north is in front, and the team going south is behind.
