Stunning Supreme Spirit Pivot

Chapter 150 Deterrence [2]

Mu Yunfei looked at her with more admiration in his eyes. If Yan'er had been sensible a few years earlier, she wouldn't have to marry now just to get back the Fenghuo order...

A moment later, a woman wearing a jujube-colored straight train came in, her hair was pulled up, and only a suet white jade hairpin was inserted. No makeup was applied, and she was simple and casual.She looks to be about 30 years old, her skin is a healthy wheat color, although she has been weather-beaten on the battlefield, she has a special beauty.

Beside her was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, with a long beard, wearing an indigo robe and a square scarf, with slender eyes full of calculations.

Both of them dressed casually, and they didn't take it seriously to meet the new coach.

Fan Lingshu curled the corners of his lips calmly, this is to show off his power.

"See Missy."

Shi Ying and Cai He stepped forward together and saluted.

Calling her the eldest lady, but not the young master, there is nothing wrong with the blood of the Mu family flowing in her body, but there is a long way to go if she wants to truly inherit the Mu Lan army.

"There is no need to be too polite." Fan Lingshu said flatly, no one gave them a seat, nor did they serve them tea, just stood like this.

Shi Ying is proud and arrogant, and it is inevitable that she is a little angry. Even if she came to see Mu Lan today, she would not be so slighted. This young lady is still too tender!
Seeing her angry face, Mu Yunfei was afraid that his sister was not thinking carefully, and was about to ask the servant girl to bring the chair, when Fan Lingshu over there spoke unhurriedly.

"Mr. Cai, I heard that you are not only in charge of making suggestions in Mu Lan's army, but also in charge of food and pay in the army?"

"Yes, this is the trust of the King of Beining." Cai He was also arrogant, raising his head, not looking at Brahma Spirit Pivot.

"Mother's eyes are naturally unmistakable." Fan Lingshu looked at the bright red nails on his hands, "Three years ago, it was very cold in the north and the harvest was very small. Mr. Cai borrowed a batch of grain stored in Mu Lan's army on the initiative of Mr. Cai. For the border merchants, they took the opportunity to drive up the price of grain. The next year the severe cold passed, but the common people didn’t even have the money to buy seeds. This year, famine, violence, and chaos have formed. I don’t know how Mr. Cai will solve this problem? "

Cai He was taken aback, and quickly exchanged a glance with Shi Ying.

Mu Lan's army has as many as 40, and the food and salary alone is a huge expenditure every year. Mu Lan formulated a policy ten years ago. Reclamation, fertilizing the soil while cultivating, the grain production has been very impressive in the third year, but at least half of the harvest has been concealed from the court.

The imperial court will still distribute food and salaries, even if they are deducted, the impact on Mu Lan's army will be minimal.

When there is a lot of food, Mu Lan and some merchants on the border will also cooperate secretly, and sell the food they harvest to them in exchange for money, and replace the armor and weapons for the soldiers.

The emperor also knew about this, but the 40 Mulan army, all relying on the treasury, was fine during the war, who could afford it in leisure time?So it is also a default situation.

However, the severe cold in the north three years ago was unexpected. Cai He had no experience and still sold grain to merchants, causing the people to be in turmoil.

This matter has been suppressed by Mu Xiao, but the people are getting more and more troubled, and I'm afraid it won't be able to suppress it for long.

What surprised Cai He was that he only wrote a simple report every month on the big and small affairs of Mu Lan's army, and the eldest lady never replied. He thought she didn't read it.

Even if you read it, selling food is normal, how can she know so much?
