Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 254 Back to Three

General Cheng was speechless for a moment, and he kept complaining in his heart: Something is wrong, of course there is something wrong! These materials were donated by Gu Yu. If he didn't negotiate in front of the owner of the materials, he was worried that Mu Qianxue would do something like crossing the river and destroying the bridge when he returned to the government.

What if we don’t give him any supplies at that time?
So he quickly said, "Come back first."

Mu Qianxue turned around helplessly, returned to General Cheng and said, "General Cheng, do you have anything else to tell me?"

General Cheng coughed a few times, seemed a little embarrassed, touched his nose and said: "Um... don't forget what we agreed on before!"

"What did we agree on before?" Mu Qianxue looked puzzled. "Why can't I remember what we said?"

General Cheng originally wanted to hide his embarrassment a little bit. After all, it was always a bit difficult to directly mention the transaction between them.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qianxue pretended to be completely clueless and had no recollection of what had happened. This made him unable to hold back and he could not help but raise his voice and shout, "Don't play dumb in front of me! It was you who asked me for help in the beginning, and I promised to provide you with food and supplies. Now that it's done, you can't deny it!"

Of course, Mu Qianxue clearly remembered the promise she had made to General Cheng, and she was just teasing him just now.

He chuckled and shook his sleeves, then said, "Oh, I thought it was a big deal! So it's just this!"

Changing the subject, he said to Gu Yu apologetically: "Xiao Yu! This is what happened."

After Mu Qianxue's explanation, Gu Yu understood - a few months ago, Da Qi was in turmoil internally and surrounded by powerful enemies externally, so when the prince returned to the capital, he only brought back 10,000 soldiers.

The rest of the troops were all left behind in the border areas to guard the frontier.

As we all know, the number of troops stationed in border areas is huge, and the demand for food is naturally high.

The bad thing is that even though the prince has ascended the throne, there are still countless refugees in Linfeng County who have not been properly resettled. They can only rely on the relief food distributed by the court to barely fill their stomachs every day.

The food reserves stored in Linfeng County had been almost eaten up by the refugees. If Mu Qianxue had not gone to those wealthy families to demand them with a tough attitude, a new round of riots would have probably been triggered by now.

It was precisely because of Mu Qianxue's magical operation that more than half of the wealthy families in the city fled the place with their families.

Various factors intertwined, causing the soldiers to be short of food, and the common people were also facing the dilemma of food shortage. The reason why General Cheng came in person was because Mu Qianxue made a promise to him.

As long as they help Mu Qianxue protect the supplies she brought back, half of the money will be given to them.

After hearing the whole story, Gu Yu said with a helpless look, "I can't control this matter. As for how to arrange these materials, as long as you don't commit corruption, you can do whatever you want."

After saying this, Gu Yu immediately added: "In addition, I asked Dezhou to prepare a new batch of supplies, which are expected to arrive in Linfeng County in a month. When the time comes, you and General Cheng can send some people to the dock to take charge of the handling matters."

Actually, originally!
Gu Yu had no intention of continuing to donate after donating this batch of supplies.

When she saw with her own eyes the righteous General Cheng, who was over fifty years old, bargaining with Mu Qianxue in order to feed his soldiers, she couldn't help but think of those admirable and lovely people in her previous life.

So, she decided to donate two more ships full of rice, flour, grain and oil, as well as two ships full of clothes and bedding to the children and adults who were defending the border for Daqi.

I sincerely hope that everyone can have enough food to fill their stomachs during this cold winter.

Oh!
correct.

You also need to prepare gloves, hats, winter shoes, cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

She did not forget that ordinary people can stay at home in the winter, but those lovely people who stick to their posts still have to go out on patrol in the severe cold and wind.

Since he has the ability to prepare, Gu Yu wants to prepare all the necessary supplies.

When General Cheng and Mu Qianxue heard that another batch of supplies would arrive in Linfeng County in a month, their eyes lit up frighteningly. They hurriedly asked, "Xiaoyu (little girl), you said that another batch of supplies would arrive in Linfeng County in a month?"

Gu Yu was very calm about this matter. She replied calmly, "Yes, there will be another batch of supplies delivered in a month."

Before this, she had not thought about continuing to donate supplies, so she did not make any other preparations.

Now that it has been decided to continue donating supplies, it is necessary not only to purchase more cotton from the people, but also to send people to Taoyuan Valley to take out more food and other necessities, such as scarce fruits and vegetables in winter, to supply them to the border areas.

In his early years, General Cheng had to use his own personal property to make up for the shortfalls in food and monthly salary because the old emperor valued civil affairs over military affairs and often withheld food and fodder.

More than a decade later, the family no longer had any extra money for him to continue buying food.

Only then did he have to shamelessly come to Mu Qianxue to ask for some soup.

Hearing what Gu Yu said, General Cheng's eyes reddened and his voice choked up a little. He clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Gu Yu, saying, "I would like to thank you for your concern for the people and the soldiers, and for taking the trouble to bring back so many supplies. If you need any help in the future, just say a word..."

All Gu Yu did was just to follow his heart.

What General Cheng was going to say next was nothing more than something like he was willing to go through fire and water.

General Cheng was a powerful figure who guarded a place. Gu Yu felt that he could not bear the old general's courtesy, let alone accept the old general's promise. He quickly said, "General, you are too kind. These things are very important to me. I, Gu Yu, am one of the many people in Daqi. Everything I have done is to ensure that the people and soldiers have food to eat and water to drink."

After that, she flattered the new emperor, bowed to the east, and said, "Besides, my behavior this time is completely imitating the superiors who rule the world with filial piety and set an example. I am just following closely behind. It is really not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, haha."

Everyone present was smart. Almost at the same time when Gu Yu bowed to the east, they all bowed to the east in unison. Then they flattered the superiors, praising them for their good management and concern for the people.

Gu Yu asked Mu Qianxue and General Cheng to make their own arrangements and said, "Gu has something important to attend to, so I will go first. You two can go to the boat to find Qiu Cai and ask her to take you to the boat to check the supplies."
