Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 103 I hope sister-in-law has mercy
Miss Qi didn't hear the strangeness in Sheng Jiaojiao's words at all, she just said anxiously:

"Jiao Jiaoer, what should we do now? Do you want to get dressed and go to the Prince's Mansion? Auntie will accompany you to explain clearly?"

"Go to what?"

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was half-sitting on the bed, continued to shuttle under the quilt, saying:
"Only two of them came from the left and right, and asked the four brothers to beat the two eunuchs, throw them in the snow for a night, and then send them to the north of the county to give to Ji Lang and his eldest brother, a good boy, and go to him with his body disabled. If you are a slave or a handmaiden, it is better to save your life and go to the battlefield to serve the country loyally, and you will not lose this life."

And said:

"Notify the second elder brother and ask him to release the news. He only said that there are people from the country who killed people in Jumping Horse Lake tonight. They killed two eunuchs, so let's leave it alone."

It is well known that the people of the country have a clear ambition to abduct the crown prince. At this time, it is quite normal for the servants of the crown prince's mansion to be killed in this remote area.

Who can blame?The people in the Prince's Mansion don't clamp their tails tight, why are they running around in the middle of the night?
For no reason to cause trouble for the soldiers on the border, can the people who jump into the horse lake have no resentment in their hearts?
Hearing what Sheng Jiaojiao said, Miss Qi immediately calmed down with fear, and she did it like this!

You can't let the darling she holds in the palm of your hand be a slave, that Princess Duanmin is not a good friend at first glance. Jiaojiao has never done any work of serving people since she was a child, so she went to serve Duanmin County Lord, you haven't been tortured to death yet.

Miss Qi can rebel for her daughter! ! !

Her heart skipped a beat, she turned her head and walked out of Sheng Jiaojiao's door, and went into the main room.

In the main room sat two eunuchs with dissatisfied faces.

One of them really couldn't stand Sheng Jiaojiao's moaning, and also couldn't stand the Qi family's not coming, so he said bitterly:

"This girl is really a big shelf. The miscellaneous family has been waiting here for so long, but they don't come out to see her. It seems that she doesn't look down on the job of serving the princess."

He also saw Miss Qi enter the main room with a murderous look on her face, staring straight at the two of them.

For a while, the two father-in-laws couldn't bear the anger, one of them got up, patted the table and said angrily:

"You Qi family, what do you mean by this? Where is Sheng Jiaojiao? If you are not afraid of offending the nobleman, let her continue to play cats!"

After all, the two father-in-laws were about to leave immediately. Seeing this, the Qi family also looked angry and dared not speak out.

However, the way the two of them wanted to leave was directly blocked by Miss Qi.

Miss Qi pointed at the two and said sharply:
"Fourth, your elder sister ordered you to beat up these two eunuchs, throw them in the snow to freeze overnight, and send them to the north of the county to kill the subjects."

"You dare!"

An eunuch was furious and trembling with anger.

The other eunuch hurriedly went around Miss Qi and escaped, but Uncle Qi picked up his back collar and threw it on the floor of the main room.

Mrs. Qi San slapped the other eunuch with a palm. The eunuch who spoke harshly before felt as if his chest had hit a piece of iron, so he took a few steps back and sat on the ground clutching his chest in pain, only gasping for breath.

It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable, the Qi family is going to rebel, even the people sent by the princess dare to beat them, they are simply a bunch of troublemakers!
Trouble! ! !

The gangsters swarmed up, one punched the other, and in the middle of the snowy night, they beat the two eunuchs until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. They tied them up with ropes, stuffed their mouths with rags, and threw them directly into Qi's backyard is freezing.

Qi Rong touched the mastiff that has now grown into a wild beast, pointed at the two eunuchs who were thrown in the yard,

"Mastiff, look at the two of them, if they dare to run away, just bite them!"

"Um~"

A mastiff with a black mane all over its body, with fierce eyes shining, sticking out its hot tongue, squatted under the eaves, staring closely at the two firmly bound eunuchs.

Sure enough, he was really conscientious, staring at the two of them all night with those dark eyes and drooling.

On the second day, before dawn, the three masters of the Qi family hung the two eunuchs working in the prince's mansion on the back of the mule, covered them with black cloth, packed the goods, and called Shang Niu Yuan to go to the county together. The north sent medicinal materials.

The two eunuchs had been frozen all night, and they were already half-frozen at the moment, only to be arranged by others, and they didn't even have the strength to struggle and shout, so they obediently went all the way to the north of the county to serve as soldiers.

At the same time, Mrs. Qi Er also rode a donkey and went to the market. It was cold and the apple trees did not bear fruit, so Mrs. Qi Er did not sell apples anymore. Now she specialized in selling embroidery. By the way Inquire about all kinds of gossip on the set for Sheng Jiaojiao.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, the grain market is getting tighter, and the price of grain is rising quietly. The army rations in the barracks have never been cut off, but it is not the coldest time yet.

Therefore, the demand for food is not large, and the price of food has not risen exaggeratedly.

Qi Ming secretly enlisted a few acquainted shopkeepers to buy grain on the market in a big way, hoping to stimulate the shopkeepers wandering on Tiaoma Lake to go out to stock up on grain and continue to sell it in Tiaoma Lake.

However, Miss Qi went around the market to find the person who abandoned the Prince's Mansion, emptied the embroidery in the basket, and hurried back to Qi's house, sat in Sheng Jiaojiao's room, and sighed:
"I've inquired about it and asked a lot of people, and they all said that this year's food price will not increase at all, because this year we encountered conscription, and almost every household in Tiaoma Lake has soldiers, and there is no shortage of food at all."

As long as there are sons and daughters in Tiaoma Lake, they all join the army in the barracks. As long as they join the army, in addition to the monthly military salary, there is also a bag of rice.

The son of the family worked hard to get rice and military pay, which maintained the family's livelihood, so the price of grain in the middle of winter this year may not increase.

Although Qi Ming found a trustee to collect grain wantonly, but the shopkeepers had doubts in their hearts, and some dared not venture forward.

Then I heard Qi Erniang's persuasion:

"Left and right, we have collected so much food, and the price is not expensive, Jiao Jiaoer, why don't you stop and give all the food you have stockpiled to the military camp, how about it?"

During this period of time, Mrs. Qi's courage was a little bit bigger than before, and a large amount of money was transported to Qi's family, then out of Qi's family, and finally exchanged for grain, which was hidden by Qi Ming in Baitao's military camp and warehouse Here, this is nothing to Mrs. Qi Er.

But this deal is too big, not to mention Qi Erniang, even Qi Ming, who has never seen so much money in his life, once he gets rid of it, the consequences will be disastrous.

The left and right are collected with Qi Zhang and Tan Ji's money. Now the north of the county is fighting every three days, which is the time to ask for food.

It is also good to turn the left hand to the right, and return all the grain in his hand to Qi Zhang and Tan Ji, as a debt repayment.

Sheng Jiaojiao sat on the kang, looked at Mrs. Qi Er and said with a smile:

"There is no shortage of food in the military camp. That's because Brother Tan and Brother Tan fought well. Naturally, they can get food from the vassal state. But if a battle is over, the vassal state does not have food for them to get? So they fight their battles." , but we have to be fully prepared.”

Seeing that Mrs. Qi still wanted to say something, Sheng Jiaojiao said again:

"It's okay, Second Aunt, as you said, we hoard so much food, if we can't sell it, we can use it back to pay back the debts of Brother Tan and Brother Tan, so we won't lose money."

Seeing that Sheng Jiaojiao looked like she was holding the winning ticket, Miss Qi Er could not speak even though she was full of worries.
However, when the second wife of Qi persuaded Sheng Jiaojiao to sell the grain back to Qi Zhang and Tan Ji, the subordinate country did not know which head was enlightened, and finally realized that every fight between himself and Qi Zhang and Tan Ji The battles were all about delivering food to the military camp at Jumping Horse Lake.

So after several battles in a row, although Qi Zhang and Tan Ji beat the subjects to pieces, those subjects either died or went back to the subjects in desperation.

But no more grains were confiscated.

The atmosphere was a little depressed for a while.

After a few days, Zheng Ling, who was under the command of Tan Ji in Dongying, brought several large boxes of gold, silver and jewels, and arrived at Qi's house in disgrace. Standing in the main room, he clasped his fists at Sheng Jiaojiao and said:

"Sister-in-law, there is nothing we can do. The battalion commander asked me to bring a message to sister-in-law. Although I know your plan, after a few battles, there is nothing to gain except a pile of useless gold, silver and jewelry. In a few days, the brothers won't even be able to eat a full meal, so...can you borrow some food for us to deal with first?"

He hesitated, what should he say next, so that he could get food from his sister-in-law.

When he came, the battalion commander didn't teach him how to speak, he only said that sister-in-law had some food, and now he could only ask sister-in-law to borrow some food.

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the main room, couldn't help laughing,

"Originally, the grain was collected from the money borrowed from you. Now that you are short of grain, we just use the grain to pay off the debt. No matter whether we borrow it or not, the only thing is that the grain in our hands back then, you don't care how much we paid for it. This is the amount of grain we have collected to repay the debt.”

She counted and looked at Zheng Ling with a smile.

Zheng Ling was naturally willing, he stood outside the hall and cupped his hands,
"Sister-in-law's price is reasonable."

Sheng Jiaojiao started harvesting grain a long time ago, and the snow had not yet fallen at that time, so the grain price at that time was relatively cheap.

Now that the snow is falling, the price of food starts to rise, and the price goes up every day. She sells food according to the current price of food, and at least makes a profit.

She said she would use grain to pay off the debt, but in fact, only half of the capital was used to pay off the money she had borrowed from things.

But even if it is a lot, it is also at a reasonable price.

Also considered cheap.

Seeing that Zheng Ling agreed, Sheng Jiaojiao smiled and glanced at Mrs. Qi Er who was sitting next to her, and said:

"What am I talking about? Two days ago, my second aunt said that we had collected enough grain and we had to give it to Dongxiying to pay off the debt. Now it seems that the military camp is not reliable anymore."

If only Dongying and Xiying are counted, there are now eight thousand sons who want to eat and drink. Apart from eating and drinking, they will be given a bag of military rations every month.

What's more, although the southern camp and the northern camp guarded the deposed prince at the market, the food and military pay of the northern and southern camps were evenly distributed to them by the eastern and western camps.

Once Tan Ji and Qi Zhang can't produce food, there will be more than 1 border guards in Tiaoma Lake, why don't they go to drink the northwest wind?

Even in every battle, Tan Ji and Qi Zhang can produce boxes and boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, but in this solar term, it is too late to use these gold and silver jewelry to temporarily exchange for food.

Seeing that the supplies of the imperial capital and Zhishou County have not been settled, the only thing Qi Zhang and Tan Ji can rely on now is Sheng Jiaojiao.

Mistress Qi was speechless for a while, she was worried a few days ago, Sheng Jiaojiao has been spending money to buy food from the salesman, whether the food is too much.

But when Zheng Ling came today, she began to worry about whether there would be less food.

After all, the rations of more than 1 children are consumed every day, which is not a small amount.

Sheng Jiaojiao smiled and waved her hands, before Miss Qi Er could speak, she got up and walked to her own room,
"I'll go and record the accounts, Second Aunt, you take Zheng Ling to look for Second Brother, and ask Second Brother to transport the grain to the north of the county."

Zheng Ling stood behind Sheng Jiaojiao, overjoyed, immediately bowed his hands,

"Thank you sister-in-law."

Not long after Zheng Ling left, Tan Xiaojian, under Qi Zhang's hand, also came to the door with a pile of gold, silver and jewels.

Sheng Jiaojiao was not surprised by his arrival, she just stood under the eaves and watched Tan Xiaojian smile.

He stepped forward with a flattering face, bowed and bowed, as if about to cry,

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, help me, sister-in-law."

Sheng Jiaojiao happened to be holding a handful of silk thread for tassels in his hand, seeing Tan Xiaojian's dog-legged appearance, he felt annoyed. For a decent boy like Tan Ji, why is Tan Xiaojian's temper getting more slippery?

Just flicked the silk thread in his hand forward and hit Tan Xiaojian's face,

"If you have something to say, don't make a show."

Tan Xiaojian immediately knelt down on both knees and said solemnly:
"Sister-in-law, our brothers in the north of the county are about to starve to death, please ask sister-in-law to release food to save the brothers."

Again it came for food.

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded, not surprised at all, holding the silk thread in his hand, stroked it one by one, and said slowly:

"Your elder brother Yuxia Zhengling has already been here earlier, and I have already sent someone to inform my second elder brother that we will be transporting grain to the north of the county today."

"Thank you sister-in-law for your mercy."

Tan Xiaojian in the snow kowtowed three times to Sheng Jiaojiao, raised his face again, and said with a smile:
"It's because our sister-in-law was prepared. She prepared a mountain of grain for us earlier. This battle was enjoyable. If there was no sister-in-law, how many brothers would have died? She is really the daughter of Zhuge."

In Tan Xiaojian's mind, he has already regarded Sheng Jiaojiao as the Tan family, so he is more intimate with Sheng Jiaojiao than others.Tan Xiaojian is willing to flatter my sister-in-law more.

Sheng Jiaojiao stared at him with her head down, and scolded with a smile:
"You should be less poor. Where did you learn to be glib, and you are becoming more and more unstable."

"Sister-in-law's lesson, my younger brother will definitely stop being glib in the future, and work hard to be prudent!"

The sycophant Tan Xiaojian opened her mouth, which was so slippery that Sheng Jiaojiao was helpless. She took out a small piece of silver from her sleeve, threw it to Tan Xiaojian who was kneeling in the snow, smiled angrily,

"Sister-in-law rewards you, go drink your yellow soup, step back!"

"Thank you sister-in-law for the reward."

Tan Xiaojian happily took the thrown silver, took a few steps back, turned around and left the yard, leaving behind a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and went after Zheng Ling.
