Chapter 152 Long live my emperor (39)

Nanyue went out wearing new clothes and happened to run into Ji Huaian.

She handed the bundle in her hand to him and met his unclear eyes.

"It's cold. My mother made a cloak for you."

Ji Huaian was a little surprised. He had not experienced the care of his elders for a long time.

It can be regarded as taking advantage of Chu Yu's light.

"Thank you, my lord, for taking the trouble, madam." There was some real gratitude in his eyes.

"Put it on quickly."

The cloak given to Ji Huaian is light blue, embroidered with pine and crane patterns, which is particularly elegant.

Long before winter came, Nan Yue sent someone to give him two sets of brand new winter clothes, which now fit perfectly with the new cloak.

Several people looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Nan Yue clapped her hands, and the maids came in carrying trays with neatly stacked winter coats.

When the two arrived at the tea room, others had already arrived.

The three of them came out of the bandits' stronghold. They didn't care about whether they looked good or not. They just needed to be warmly dressed and well fed.

Nanyue raised her hand, walked up to the table and sat down.

Didn't it turn out to be just for him?
But according to what Chu Yu said, theirs didn’t seem to be made by Mrs. Chu herself.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mrs. Chu."

Zuo Yi had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that Nan Yue and Ji Huaian had changed into new clothes, and praised: "My lord, these clothes are quite nice."

But when he worked under Yang Su before, he never rewarded him with anything.

Zuo Yi was still wearing last year's old winter coat, but he wore it carefully and didn't wear any patches. Like Gao Hu and the careless Lao San, his elbows were all patched.

A set of winter clothes is actually nothing in his eyes. Unlike Zuo Yi and others, he will not be short of food and clothing.

Tian Xiu has good taste, and this dress suits Nan Yue very well, adding two points of calmness to her youthful look.

The county magistrate was a little flattered, "Me, do I have it too?"

The maids placed their clothes in front of them and left in an orderly manner.

He originally thought that Mr. Chu, with his noble status and young age, would not be sympathetic to his subordinates, not to mention that he, the county magistrate who used to work under Yang Su, would be nice if he didn't find fault and asked him to get out.

He touched the cloak on his body and saw that it was still different...

Nan Yue said: "It's very cold in winter. This is the winter coat Mrs. Chu asked someone to make according to your body shape. This is also our first winter in Qixian County. It must be warm."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Chu would think of them even when he was wearing new clothes.

Seeing her coming, they all stood up and saluted.

Ji Huaian: "..."

"This……"

"Of course." Nan Yue smiled. This county magistrate was not a good official when he followed Yang Su, but he knew current affairs and was not too bad. The most important thing was that he was familiar with Qixian County and surrounding officials.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

After abolishing the county magistrate, Nanyue couldn't find a suitable person to take this position for a while.

"Brother Ziliang."

Zuo Yi responded quickly.

Nan Yue said: "You will arrange for people later and send some money to everyone below. Make sure everyone can buy winter clothes."

Zuo Yi was surprised for a moment, but soon figured it out again, with excitement in his eyes, "Here, my subordinates will definitely take care of this!"

He is truly lucky to be able to keep up with such a master!

Gao Hu also looked grateful. He wanted to say something, but found that he was not as good as Zuo Yi. He twisted his body, successfully heard the creaking sound under him, and sat down quickly.

Qixian County is at the junction of Wuzhou and located in the northwest. In winter, it is a bit colder than Chaoge and lasts longer.

The cotton used to make winter coats is relatively expensive. Most people sew and mend a set of winter coats and cotton boots to wear them this year and next.

In the past two years, due to heavy taxes and bad weather, cotton production was low and the price doubled.

This was still when Wuzhou and Wenzhou were rich in cotton. In a place like that where there was not much cotton, people didn’t know how to survive the winter, so they could only tighten their belts and buy cotton-padded clothes.

And Nanyue would have to spend a lot of money to make all the government officials and soldiers wear new clothes. Fortunately, Nanyue brought official silver and inherited Yang Su's small treasury, so she was not short of money for a while.

"Sir, Hou Santan heard the news that King Xiqing is ready to rebel and wants to become king independently." Zuo Yi started to get down to business.

There are many talented people in this small Huxiao Village, such as Hou San, who is a good expert in gathering information.

"It's a little earlier than I expected." Nan Yue was not surprised at all.

"What?" The county magistrate was surprised, "So fast?"

Although the King of Xiqing used to have a different surname, he was still subordinate to Daning. Now he wants to establish himself as king and break away with his fiefdom, but he is a full-fledged rebel!

Although he had always known that King Xiqing was about to make a move, when this day really came, the county magistrate was still a little panicked and scared.

After all, now that Yang Su is in prison, Mr. Chu was sent by the imperial court and it is impossible to show favor to King Xiqing.

Wuzhou is a vast land with few people, and there is a small country nearby. But I heard that King Xiqing's favorite concubine is the princess of the small country, so he will definitely not attack it.

Maybe the small country will help him...

Going further towards the small country of Wuzhou and Yuezhou, you will see the rolling snow-capped mountains.

Therefore, when King Xiqing rebelled, the first person he targeted was Qixian County...

How many soldiers do they have in Qixian County? It was only over 4,000, including the cooks and government servants.

We will issue a draft again and bring in some young men. We can barely make up five thousand.

This is because their Qixian County is more important, and other counties simply do not have so many troops.

And what about King Xiqing?
There must be at least 30,000 to 40,000 people, not counting his private soldiers, let alone returning strong troops.

After all, in addition to being rich in cotton, Wuzhou also produces iron ore.

Zuo Yi obviously thought of this as well. He frowned and began to think.

With just a few thousand soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to defeat King Xiqing.

"I remember I said before that when Qixian County stabilizes, we will have a banquet with the county guards and the governor. We were too busy before, but looking at it now, it's almost the same." Nan Yue said solemnly.

Zuo Yi's eyes lit up, and he already understood what she wanted to do, "What you mean is..."

"That's right, just borrow it."

Zuo Yi frowned again, "What if they don't borrow it..."

After all, this is not about borrowing money or clothes, but...

Borrow troops!
"If you don't want to borrow it, then find a way to borrow it." Ji Huaian couldn't help but speak in a sarcastic tone, "I have to ask my lord for everything. What do I need from you?"

The role of a counselor is to make suggestions. If you don’t understand anything, you should go home and farm as soon as possible.

Zuo Yi glanced at Ji Huaian and said nothing.

Shit Ji Yu was right this time, he still needs to study more.

"Brother Ziliang, you write the invitation letter, and then the county magistrate will send someone to send it out." Nan Yue arranged.

Since Mr. Chu came here, apart from writing down Yang Su's crimes, he has only been doing chores. This time, he finally got something important done.

The county magistrate was very excited. He must handle this matter well and not let Master Chu down!

After discussing for a while, several people left and went about their business.

Nan Yue took a sip of tea and suddenly heard Ji Huaian say: "The Marquis of Xinling in Pingzhou has also rebelled. The next ones should be Luzhou, Yangzhou, Yunzhou..."

His tone was calm, as if he was not talking about major world events.

Nanyue looked at him with interest in her eyes, "Don't you think it's too early to tell me this?"

He really has a lot of secrets. You can know about Pingzhou in Qixian.

Ji Huaian raised his lips, "How could it be so early? With Master Chu's ability, it is not easy to capture Wuzhou and Wenzhou?"

Nan Yue chuckled, "That's all thanks to Brother Huai'an's help."

444 didn't even look at it. It was enough. Before the fight even started, the two of them started exchanging blows.

Overhead, overhead, overhead!

In ancient times, a county had only a thousand troops!
But my map is purely imaginary. A county is much larger than the real one. The place where the heroine lives is considered a very important city.

And I also messed up the specialties and stuff!
