The ancestor of the last days exploded after being reborn!

Chapter 59
"Since it's all right, I'll go back first." Xia Jing stood up, straightened her skirt, and smiled lightly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. Since you have received the imperial decree from the emperor, Then no matter how reluctant we are in our hearts, we should make superficial efforts and order Zeng Yan to prepare for it at night, so that everyone can celebrate."

Mr. Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "The princess is right, we should celebrate, so that the father-in-law who passed the decree can tell the emperor our loyalty and patriotism when he returns."

Xia Jing: "Well, it's time to work hard this time, sir. The memorial to the emperor should tell more about our difficulties. We suffered in the past without money or goods. We must let the emperor and courtiers know about it. Otherwise, they will I thought we had taken advantage of it, so I wished we could go to Lingnan."

"Thank you, princess, for reminding me that this old man will do his best to complain to the emperor." Mr. Zhang laughed.

"It's too late, sir, you can just stop in moderation."

"What the princess said is that the old man didn't think carefully."

Xia Jing explained everything clearly, so she didn't stop and got out of the carriage.

The celebration is only in name only, in front of the father-in-law passing the decree, it is impossible for the Qian Palace to reveal its wealth.

Celebration is their attitude towards the court, and as for the quality, it also shows their loyalty to the court.

Qian Wangfu supported the emperor's decision no matter how poor he was.

As night falls, camp in front of a bonfire.

When the father-in-law who passed the decree sat at the table, he noticed the meals on the table. For a while, he couldn't say a word, and there were mixed flavors.

Prince Yipin of the majestic Yu Dynasty, the best food turned out to be ordinary family food. King Qian, who used to despise delicacies in the palace, can he bear this hardship?
The entire dinner was not long, and King Qian never disliked the food on the table, especially Princess Qian, who was sitting next to her, seemed to be eating seriously, as if what was placed on the table was not vulgar things, but something that even the palace There are no delicacies.

Because the father-in-law was in the palace, and he had never seen any nobleman who would eat so contentedly.

Eating rough pancakes in his mouth, and choking his throat if he didn't pay attention, the father-in-law had already recovered from choking for the Nth time, and his heart had already burst into tears. When will this day be the end?

At the same time, he was a little apprehensive, and the world would be in chaos. As a father-in-law who was dedicated to serving people, he had a personal experience of fleeing and moving south all the way.

The next day, the decree-delivering team was sent away, and the team from Prince Qian's Mansion went all the way to Jingzhou without further delay.

Now that they have the emperor's imperial decree in their hands, it is justifiable to go to Lingnan. They have changed their low-key all the way and marched towards Jingzhou with great fanfare.

On the way, Xia Jing would ask Li Chengmu to recruit young and middle-aged men who were alone. As long as they were willing to follow them to Lingnan, Xia Jing would provide food, accommodation and personal safety.

On this day, when he was resting in the evening, Anu came over again, "Princess, my lord asked you to come over, saying that I have something to discuss."

Xia Jing put down the ledger, frowned slightly, "Understood, this concubine will go over after tidying up."

Li Chengmu guessed, "Mother and concubine, I don't know why my father is looking for you? It can't be for food and grass, right?"

Xia Jing pushed the account book in front of him, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't worry about his place. Now we recruit more and more people, and the daily expenses are also increasing exponentially. The money and food are a bit beyond our means. If we count the expenses into In the mansion, not to mention your father, even your other brothers will have opinions."

Li Chengmu pushed the ledger away, and scratched his head in annoyance, "What should I do? Although the drought in Jingzhou is not serious, the crop harvest has decreased after all, and food is difficult to buy."

In the past in the capital, as the fifth master of the palace, his daily tasks were basically to keep his ears to the outside world and only read sage books.

But now he was caught by the concubine mother to handle common affairs, he wanted to say that she thinks highly of him.

"Borrow food if you can't afford it. I believe the governor of Jingzhou doesn't want King Qian to be starving when he passes by the place under his jurisdiction."

"Borrow?" Li Chengmu was astonished. Lending this food to them passing by was equivalent to borrowing but not repaying. Would the governor of Jingzhou be willing to borrow it?
Xia Jing nodded: "Well, send someone to try it tomorrow."

"Okay then, my father may be in a hurry, so go quickly, I won't waste your time."

"Okay, then I'll go and come back."

Anu walked in front and led Xia Jing to the main tent.

Xia Jing stared at his back, and asked with a smile: "Before you came here, who went to see the prince?"

Anu looked back at her, and replied while walking, "General Yuan Shen."

There is nothing wrong with this.

"Oh~"

Xia Jing had the bottom line in her heart, and she could probably guess why Yuan Shen was going to find the prince.

main account.

Anu notified and invited Xia Jing in.

In the tent, there are several tables and tables, where King Qian, the boss, the second child and the two gentlemen are all there.

"Hehe, the battle is quite big, what kind of important matter is this going to discuss?"

Xia Jing walked to the only vacant seat and sat down before looking at the others in surprise.

This can't be a Hongmen banquet, can it?

The eldest brother Li Chengshang and the second child Li Chengzhan both stood up and saluted Xia Jing.

After the two gentlemen saluted, they said with a smile: "The most important thing is that the prince got a can of grape wine from the Western Regions today, and wants to share it with everyone."

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, a hundred times she didn't believe it, but she didn't expose it, if you say it's drinking, you can drink at the bar, if you have wine, you will be drunk today.

After a while, servants came in with meals.

When the meal was put on the table, Xia Jing unexpectedly discovered that there was a meat dish and a fish dish.

"Now we have entered the territory of Jingzhou. Jingzhou is not as good as the Gyeonggi area. Their water system is well developed here. The guards caught a lot of fish today and even caught a few wild game on the mountain." Mr. Zhang greeted Xia Jing: "Princess, would you like Give it a good taste, it should taste good."

"Everyone is interested, this concubine must have a good taste today."

Speaking of which, during the period of mouth ulcers, she was tortured enough, at least she lost a few pounds.

King Qian only glanced at her, without saying anything, picked up the chopsticks and ate a piece of meat first, before the others started.

Xia Jing stared at the meat dishes and fish on the table, a little hesitant. She said that she had never eaten meat dishes when she came to this foreign world. Except for chicken soup, the meat dishes and fish dishes this time were her first contact with meat dishes.

Smelling the smell of the dishes, Xia Jing knew that the taste of these two dishes should not be very good.

After a meal, Xia Jing, the meat dish, only took two mouthfuls and didn't take any more.

It's not that she's a picky eater. In fact, she's really easy to feed. It's just that she can't eat food that smells too strong.

But as long as she puts food in her mouth, she won't spit it out, and she will definitely eat it.

She believes that the rest of the food will not be wasted, and there are still many people below who can't see meat dishes.

Li Chengshang saw that the meat dishes that the servant girl removed from Xia Jing's table hadn't been touched much.

He opened his mouth and asked concerned: "Today's meat doesn't suit my concubine's appetite?"

Xia Jing smiled, "Fortunately, you guys like to eat more."

King Qian curled his lips and muttered, "Squeamish!"

However, his voice was too low for others to hear, and Xia Jing was too lazy to argue with him.

After the maids served tea to everyone, Mr. Zhang opened his mouth to get to the point.

"Today Zeng Yan found the old man and said that there was not much food and grass left in the team. Apart from the Hou's family behind the team, our team was in the early [-]s, and we consumed a lot of food and grass every day.

But it is unrealistic to buy food in the towns passing by. They seem to have discussed and restricted the purchase of food from outside.This has led to a situation where we have money but cannot buy food and grass.The prince is very troubled by this matter, what do you think, princess? "

Xia Jing didn't answer the question, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "For this matter, Mr. Zhang shouldn't ask my concubine what you think, but ask you what you think?"

She didn't believe that they had no way to deal with it, but she just wanted to ask for her opinion before implementing it, and finally see which opinion is more convenient.

Mr. Zhang glanced at everyone in the tent, with a hesitant expression on his face.

Xia Jing smiled, "Tell me, even if the method is wrong, no one will laugh at you."

Mr. Zhang stroked his beard and laughed at himself, "In front of the princess, I don't know when I have become less confident."

Xia Jing said with a solemn face: "This is not a good sign, sir, don't underestimate yourself, for a counselor, self-confidence is very important."

Mr. Zhang opened his mouth, and finally said what they thought.

There are two ways, nothing more than trying to buy grain with money every time you pass a town.

The second is to borrow food from the governor of Jingzhou. Although this method is harmful, the effect is not bad.

Whether it was to show the people in the world that he was loyal to the imperial court, or simply did not want King Qian to have an accident in his jurisdiction, the governor of Jingzhou had to grit his teeth and swallow his blood.

Lent it to King Qian, who was extremely precious in troubled times and could be called life-saving food.

Of course, if you think that the loaned food will be enough for the team, then you are wrong.

The governor of Jingzhou could not be so stupid.

The food he gave was only to keep King Qian's team from starving to death, but if they entered the Jingzhou border with fat, they would definitely be skinny when they went out.

Therefore, the food was borrowed, but the rest of the shortage had to be raised by oneself.

This method is not far from Xia Jing's.

King Qian sat at the head and saw Mr. Zhang talking about it for a long time, but the most important point has not been brought up yet.

He said impatiently with a sullen face: "Master Xia, you just heard from Mr. that the current team is really difficult. You recruited a lot of young and middle-aged men, right?"

Xia Jing smiled and took the initiative to report the number, "It's exactly one thousand strong men at present."

King Qian raised his eyebrows in surprise, he did not expect that she would recruit so many young and middle-aged men in a short period of time.

"There are a lot of people. The team is facing many difficulties and is struggling. Do you think your team should be reduced or disbanded?"

Xia Jing suppressed the smile on her face, looked at him indifferently, and asked, "Do you think this is possible?"

King Qian also suggested, "It's okay not to disband, or to merge into the guard camp."

"You are not beautiful, but you think beautifully!" Xia Jing snapped back unceremoniously.

If you want to pick her fruit, it depends on whether she agrees or not!

Seeing her attitude, King Qian burst into anger, "Master Xia, don't—"

Xia Jing rolled his eyes at him, "Don't you, mine, if you want to search my private house, there is no way!"

"When did this king search your private house? These people were just picked up by you on the road. How did they have something to do with your private house?"

Xia Jing went back confidently, "These people are supported by my concubine with money from my private house, so they belong to my concubine's private house! The men of your Li family have grown up, and they are all thinking about their daughter-in-law's private house!"

King Qian became furious from embarrassment, he really wanted to rub this woman on the spot a few times!

Mr. Zhang was afraid that King Qian would annoy the princess again, so he coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention.

Then she smiled and asked Xia Jing: "Princess, you must be short of food and grass now. If your team is not merged, how do you plan to feed these 1000 people for the next journey? They are all young and middle-aged, and they should eat a lot!" "

"You can always think of going to the governor of Jingzhou to borrow food, why can't this concubine borrow money?"

King Qian's anger just now hadn't dissipated, and he almost choked to death on his own saliva after hearing this.

The second master Li Chengzhan couldn't help laughing, "Mother and concubine, the father's people have already borrowed once, and also plucked the wool, and the governor Yuan will let us pluck twice?"

"He can lend it to the prince, why can't he lend it to the concubine?"

Xia Jing's words were quite outrageous, completely unreasonable, and she wanted to stir up an aura of three-point reasoning.

Li Chengzhan swallowed, "I mourn for Governor Yuan!"

Mr. Yan said at this time, "Even if there are two ways of buying and borrowing, the food is still not enough for the team to consume. I wonder if there is any good way for the princess to raise food and grass?"

Xia Jing thought for a while, looked up at everyone and smiled, "Today I really have a way."

Mr. Yan asked excitedly: "What way?"

"That means we all work together to collect information on bandits, and go up the mountain to suppress bandits together."

"Suppress bandits?!"

This idea is a bit beyond everyone's expectations.

Mr. Zhang stroked his mustache, his eyes glistened, "I probably understand what the princess means, we have no food to suppress the bandits, this will not only solve the food problem, but also train troops.

Especially the thousand strong men of the concubine, if you go all the way to suppress the bandits, when you reach Lingnan, your thousand strong men can basically go to battle to kill the enemy. "

"This is a wonderful move! It kills two birds with one stone!" Mr. Yan clapped his hands excitedly, "Why didn't I think of such a brilliant idea?"

Mr. Zhang bowed his hands to Xia Jing with a smile, "This shows that the concubine's skills are superior, and I admire you!"

Xia Jing raised her hand and pressed it, "Sir, it's great, I will leave it to the two gentlemen to collect information about the bandits."

"Princess, don't worry, just leave this trivial matter to us."

Xia Jing nodded in satisfaction, in fact, she wanted to rob the family even more.

This world is not so much ruled by the royal family as it is ruled by the aristocratic family.

The royal family changes from one generation to the next, at most hundreds of years, but the aristocratic family has been passed down from generation to generation.

The aristocratic family is intertwined and deeply rooted in this world, and it cannot be easily shaken.

Seeing his concubine having a happy conversation with the two gentlemen, King Qian was in a very complicated mood. Facing state affairs and family affairs, he, the man in charge of his own affairs, was like a bystander, and he couldn't blend in with them in the middle.

Are you saying it's irritating?
The other two companions, Li Chengshang and Li Chengzhan, were in a bad mood.

In fact, these days they also want to take in some strong men, so as to strengthen their own strength.

It's just that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.

Some of their young men were recruited, but they had no money or food to feed them.

In the end, in order to save expenses, some personnel had to be cut, and the remaining dozens of strong men had to be supported by their wives with dowry money.

You say being a man is aggrieved!
