Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 124 Borrowing Food
After a while, Wei Ying opened her eyes and looked at Wei Guogong, and said in a deep voice: "Father, my daughter remembers that I have learned such a truth before, but whenever there is a disaster in the country, the monarch should always be the first to come forward. It can not only regain the hearts of the people, but also manage the disaster situation to the greatest extent. Father Jun, since Ji Xiangguo told you that the disaster situation has been dealt with and it will be over soon, why don't you come forward to ask about the disaster situation at this time, and release a few tokens order, so that you don't have to worry about it, and you can still get the gratitude of the people, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

"Oh?" Wei Guogong was moved by Wei Ying, and a pensive look appeared on his face.

While observing Duke Wei's expression, Wei Ying said frankly, "Father, from my daughter's point of view, the main reason for the disaster in our country this time is that there is no harvest due to the severe drought, even if it is counted in the treasury. The grain reserves and the grain accumulated by the major grain merchants are not enough for the people of the whole country to survive this year's famine. If you come forward at this time, you must first issue a decree to force the grain merchants in various places to lower the price of grain, even lower than in previous years. Of course, we can't let them do business that loses money, as long as they can keep some profits."

Wei Ying paused for a moment, seeing Duke Wei looking at her seriously, it seemed that she really listened to her words.

The anger in her heart subsided a little, and she continued: "Father Jun will then send envoys to Shen to borrow food. You can ask the envoys to tell Shen Guojun that we will use the land he promised in exchange for food. The kindness of sending troops to help him suppress the rebellion requires him to lend us food. If he doesn't want to be a treacherous villain, he will definitely lend us food.

"Father Jun, you should also be aware that even if we don't need to exchange the land for Shen's loan, Shen will certainly not take the initiative to transfer the land to us."

Wei Guogong had a hesitant look on his face, and said in a deep thought: "You sent the divorce letter to Shen Guojun for no reason, and gave him such a big insult. Will he borrow money?"

Wei Ying said affirmatively: "Even if I insulted Shen Guojun, you did not insult him, Father Jun. Afterwards, you specially sent envoys to apologize. Now we don't even want Yue Land, we only ask him to borrow Give us food, he has no reason to refuse your request. If he dares to refuse you, what will other people think of him, who will trust him and help him?"

"Well..." Wei Guogong pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, I will consider what you said, you should step back first."

"Yes, father-in-law." Hearing Wei Guogong say this, Wei Ying's heavy heart relaxed a little, and she didn't want to see Wei Guogong's messy appearance, bowed and said: "My daughter will leave."

"Go." Wei Guogong waved his hand and said.

Wei Ying nodded, turned around and walked outside the hall.

Wei Ying quickly walked outside the Wuyue Hall, she stepped onto the path, walked slowly forward, while drooping her eyes, thinking about who that beautiful woman was just now.

"The servant has seen Princess Sakura."

Suddenly a voice interrupted Wei Ying's thoughts, she looked up and saw a court lady walking towards her with refreshments in her hand.

The maid stopped when she saw Wei Ying, bent down and bowed to her.

"So it's Xiao Fu." Wei Ying rolled her eyes, and said with a smile, "You don't have to be polite, get up."

"Yes." Xiaofu responded, stood up straight, bowed her head and said: "This slave girl is going to deliver refreshments to the Lord, so I will take my leave first."

"Xiaofu, don't be in a hurry." Wei Ying asked with a smile: "Just now I went to Wuyue Hall to meet Junfu, why didn't you all wait by the side?"

"This..." Xiaofu's face changed, and she faltered and couldn't speak.
