Group pet little lucky girl: Jiaojiao bag brings the whole family rich

Chapter 353 Emergency

The Cao family rebelled with the King of Qin, and the business in the northern part of Daqi Kingdom was naturally abandoned, which also gave other businessmen opportunities.

And now that the imperial court is using troops on a large scale, there is a lot of food, grass, and supplies that need the help of merchants to purchase.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luopan joined forces with Shen Zhongping, and took advantage of Hu Lina's status as Princess Fanbang, as well as the relationship between Li Xiaodao and Wei Shu in the court, so it can be said that he made a lot of money, and his business empire took shape.

At this time, he and Hu Lina were returning to Qingyang Town with the grain and grass bought from Fanbang. He was going to unload some of the grain and grass in the warehouse, and then go to Linjiang Mansion to bring a batch of newly made weapons to the military camp.

These weapons are all made by the Linjiang Mansion military camp, and the weapons and arrow feathers will inevitably be damaged during the battle, so replenishment is also necessary.

After Li Xiaodao transported grain and grass for a period of time, he was sent back to supervise the manufacture of weapons, and was responsible for escorting the finished weapons to the capital.

Naturally, ships are needed for escort, and since the official ships are not free, civilian ships are naturally needed. Adhering to the principle of not letting the fertile water flow to outsiders, they hired the Compass fleet.

Linjiangfu Wharf.

Under the supervision of officers and soldiers, a group of coolies were moving wooden boxes with seals onto the ship, and the newly appointed supervisor was responsible for recording the quantity.

Li Xiaodao, Compass, Fat Miaoer, Liu Yeer and others sat on the second floor of the teahouse not far away and watched from a distance.

A letter came back from the capital saying that Guo Ling'er was pregnant, so Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er were going to follow the merchant ship to the capital to take care of her.

King Rui set up a temporary agency to deal with front-line affairs. It was composed of a group of people selected by Taifu Xu. As a general, a series of guards were impressively listed. When the suppression of the rebellion was over, they would naturally be rewarded for their meritorious service.

"Abacus, the message from the nerd said that he has already reported the grain and grass you transported this time, and it will be enough to hand over the weapons at that time, so there is no need to report it yourself." Li Xiaodao said.

"Okay." Compass nodded.

The so-called people in the court are good at handling things, and the reason why Luopan's grain and grass business is so smooth is that Wei Shu has a lot of credit.

……

half a month later.

Since there was no stop on the way, the fleet arrived at the pier in the capital smoothly. Compass and Li Xiaodao stayed behind to hand over to the officials of the Beijing Ministry of War. Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er went straight home in a carriage.

When the two arrived home, Guo Ling'er was sitting in the living room embroidering the child's shoes with a loving face.

Because Guo Linger was pregnant, the family bought another maid and an old lady, one was responsible for taking care of Guo Linger, and the other was doing laundry and cooking.

Seeing Fat Miao'er and the others, Guo Ling'er was overjoyed, and quickly put down her needlework and came over to greet them.

"Second Sister-in-Law, sit there quickly and don't move, be careful of fetal gas." Liu Ye'er ran over quickly and took Guo Ling'er's hand.

"Don't worry, the second sister-in-law is not that delicate." Guo Ling'er said softly.

After being seated, Liu Ye'er first helped Guo Ling'er to check the pulse. After confirming that the pulse was stable, the few of them began to chat about the daily routine.

"Fat Miao'er, Ye'er, how long do you plan to stay this time?" Guo Ling'er asked.

"Second sister-in-law, we will accompany you after confinement, so that you will not be bored at home alone. Besides, with my sister and I around, my second brother can feel more at ease when he is working in court." Fat Miao'er replied.

"That's great." Guo Ling'er was very happy.

Although Wei Shu loves her very much, he is afraid that she will be bored alone in Beijing, no matter how late he comes back every day, he will chat with her to relieve boredom.

It's all right now, with Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er here, Wei Shu doesn't have to work so hard.

dusk.

Wei Shu also came back from the yamen, and the family had a happy dinner. After the meal, everyone chatted in the hall, and it was inevitable that they would talk about the war on the front line.

From Wei Shu's point of view, the treasury of the Great Qi Kingdom is full, and now that King Rui is in command at the front line, it will be a matter of time before King Qin is defeated.

And with the return of King Rui, the people under King Qin also began to have their own ghosts. After all, some people were under King Rui back then, and followed him through life and death.

Coupled with the defeat in the last battle and the loss of morale, King Qin's life is not easy now.

Time flies, three months have passed in the blink of an eye, King Rui's tactics are very successful, gradually compressing King Qin's territory, waiting to be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Two months ago, under the inspiration of Fat Miaoer, Li Xiaodao developed a giant crossbow specially designed to attack transshipment ships. After speeding up the production, a batch was finally produced and was about to be sent to the front line together with this shipment of food and grass. .

At this moment, bad news came back from the front line. Seeing that he was about to fail, King Qin frantically cut a big hole in the Weishui River and blocked the transportation of King Rui's grain and grass, regardless of the safety of the people.

Later, he dispatched warships to block the river to prevent food and grass from being transported by water.

I don't know what benefits King Qin promised to the foreign country, but when King Rui was unprepared, he secretly sent [-] elite soldiers to help King Qin besiege King Rui.

In order to guard against King Qin, King Rui's army carried enough food and grass to last for more than a month, but now that there are foreign troops joining, the two sides are evenly matched. King Rui can't guarantee that he can defeat King Qin so quickly. Once the two sides fall into a stalemate, King Rui will definitely lose in the end party.

In the yamen of the temporary agency, Master Xu, Wei Shu, Li Xiaodao and others were discussing intensely and discussing a solution.

Naturally, the safest way is to seal off the Weishui breach immediately, and then transport the grain and grass there after the water recedes, but no one knows how long it will take.

Another method is to go by water and break through the blockade of King Qin's warships. Once this method fails, not only will the army be lost, but the food and grass may also be captured by the King of Qin.

After some discussion, it was decided that the two sides would go hand in hand, and Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Wei Shu would go to the disaster area as imperial envoys, supervising the repair of the embankment and helping the victims at the same time.

The Minister of the Ministry of War and Li Xiaodao led the warships on the other way to see if they could break through the blockade of King Qin.

This time it was Li Xiaodao who took the initiative to invite Ying. Although he knew that this trip was very dangerous, he had to do it because he was doing it for Yang Ruyi.

Because Yang Jinzhong went to the expedition, Li Xiaodao was also busy running at both ends, so Yang Ruyi stayed in Beijing to accompany Xiner. After learning the news that Yang Jinzhong was besieged, Yang Ruyi was worried and worried all day long.

Seeing his lively and cheerful wife like this, he secretly made up his mind that he must break through the blockade, transport the grain and grass, and help King Rui's army break out of the siege.

After returning from the temporary office, Wei Shu and Li Xiaodao explained the matter.

Due to the urgent military situation, the two set off immediately after the food and grass were loaded.

After listening, Fat Miao'er, Liu Ye'er, Luo Pan and others were worried, but they couldn't dissuade them, it was really hard for them.

Not to mention the danger of Li Xiaodao, Wei Shu is not much better, once King Rui is defeated, the prefecture where Wei Shu is located is the closest to King Qin's territory, and it will be very dangerous at that time.
