Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 454

"From Ezhou?" Su Yue repeated softly, frowning slightly, and said, "I remember, the pacifier on the Hubei Road is the father-in-law of the prefect Lin?"

I remember that in the previous life, the prefect Lin was promoted by the power of Hai Shangshu, but this father-in-law has not moved in his post on Hubei Road.

In her previous life, she couldn't figure out the relationship between those officials, and she didn't want to get involved too much, so she just listened to it.

Thinking about it now, something was wrong.

In the official system of the Song Dynasty, unless someone is talented and outstanding and can be directly promoted by the superiors, they usually have to go through seniority, but on the other hand, as long as they have survived for a certain number of years without making major mistakes, the official will be promoted.

And one road is equal to a province, the transshipment envoy is in charge of finance and taxation, and the appeasement envoy is in charge of political, legal and defense matters. Now that Fang appeasement envoy should have served three terms (every three years), and ten years later in his previous life, he is still the same. Hubei Road appeasement envoy!
He has been a local official for nearly 20 years without promotion or demotion.

"That's right." Xie Jue nodded and said to Tang Bing, "Let Jiang Liu come back and go to Jingzhou immediately to find out the relationship between Fang Tao and Shuzhou."

That's right, to mobilize so much labor and manpower without letting outsiders notice, only the Hubei Road Pacifier can do it.

It seems that the prefect Lin still has to lay some bait.

Tang Bing responded and walked out. Xie Jue said to the guards, "Follow up, when the food price falls, when will the Ninth Prince come to Beijing?"

The guard shook his head and said, "No, it's only been six days, and their second batch of food, totaling 20 dans, has arrived, and..."

The guard's voice paused, and then said: "That day, the eight-hundred-mile urgent military report from the border also arrived, saying that on the third day, the Beirong people divided their troops into three places and launched a massive attack."

Xie Jue sat up slightly, and said coldly at the corner of his lips, "It's started?"

"Yes, Commander Che asked his subordinates to report first, and there should be a detailed report later."

"Oh?" Xie Jue raised his eyebrows: "Our people didn't report back, did they?"

"Yes." The guard nodded and said, "Commander Che also finds it strange. Ordinarily, our fast horses will not be slower than those of the frontier army. Why did we not receive any news, and the military report entered Beijing?"

Xie Jue chuckled lightly and said, "It's okay, I guess I'll arrive a day or two later."

This boy Zhao Hao is playing tricks.

A month ago, Zhao Hao sent someone to send a letter to him, saying that the Beirong people were gathering an army, and Zhao Hao had already caught the person who secretly communicated with the Beirong people, and he had already dealt with Tong Guan's spies left in Wucheng .

Come to think of it, Master Xu probably agreed with the other party to attack in three days, so Zhao Hao made those people think that the Beirong people had succeeded.

In fact, he was afraid that he had already set up ambushes in Wucheng and Fengcheng.

Moreover, this matter was expected, so Zhao Hao did not send someone to notify him.

"Third Master." Su Yue turned her head worriedly and called out.

Is there a war?
At this time in her previous life, she had already married Yun Qinghong, and was locked up in the back house by the Yun family. Get up, it should be a few days later.

"Don't worry." Xie Jue patted her hand lightly and said, "Zhao Hao won't lose."

That kid Zhao Hao didn't know what method he used. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, half of the people at the Yanshan Pass were replaced, and then he personally led people and his people to find the secret port of Yeluqi, and transferred the people from the port to Yeluqi. The remaining Beirong people were killed.

Not only that, according to reports from his subordinates, it was said that Zhao Hao had led someone to let Ling Chuanye lead the way along the passage, and removed all the hidden stumps left by Yeluqi, and completely opened the passage.

At the same time, Zhao Hao also confiscated the land on the other side of Yanzhou in the name of the frontier army, and handed it over to them to build a port.

Afterwards, the kid went back to the border town, leaving only Lao Liu there to cooperate with them in repairing the port.

(Ling Chuanye also took the opportunity to stay there)
Today, the first batch of 80 dan of grain has been transported from Jiaozhi to Yanzhou port.

At this time, it should have been distributed to Wucheng and several pass cities to the east.

And the second batch of grain is now on the way.

The rice in Cochin is cropped three times a year, and it is also rich in various fruits. The locals will make dried fruits for preservation, and they will not rot even after long-distance transportation. Those dried fruits are very important for those people in the capital. It is too simple, but for soldiers, it is an excellent thing.

And in the second half of last year, not only the rice harvest but also the fruit harvest in Cochin, the price is really cheap.

So, he mobilized all the boats, not even the spices, but went to fetch grain and dried fruit first.

Compared with the 80 dans of grain that Zhao Hao had promised at the beginning, he now directly provides him with three times the amount.

With his great help, if Zhao Hao still loses the battle...

Then Zhao Hao can die!
Seeing Xie Jue's expression, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief, yes, this life is different after all.

The tragedy of the previous life will never happen again!
However, in the last life, there was no such thing as the Ninth Prince sending food to Beijing.

At this time in her previous life, although she was locked in the back house, she also knew that the price of grain outside was extremely high, because at that time, Yun Yao family lost all the money, and Yun Yao family also saw that the grain price in January The price was higher than in previous years, so she sold all the lumi of the four members of the Yun family. As a result, the family had no food at that time, and the Yun Yao family had no money to buy food. It was she who took out her dowry subsidy. It's not like the whole family went hungry.

I remember that although the price of grain was not as high as in this life (the highest in the previous life was only [-] cents a liter), it remained high until June, when the first batch of new grain came out.

Therefore, she remembered very clearly that there was absolutely no Ninth Prince sending food at that time, and the Ninth Prince appeared a few years later!
Seeing Su Yue's brows frown again, Xie Jue stretched out his hand to rub her brows, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's a good thing for the Ninth Prince to send food to Beijing. Cai Bing was stuck in front of the frontier army and refused to send the spring food. The excuse is that The price of grain in the capital is soaring, and even the capital can't protect itself, so the frontier army can only let the people take care of the people. Be patient. Now that there are millions of dans of grain entering the capital, this statement is somewhat untenable. Stuck with the food and pay of the frontier army, hehe."

Xie Jue laughed sinisterly twice.

Su Yue flashed her head, and said, "Could it be that the price of food in the capital has risen so ridiculously because of Cai Bing on purpose? He, how could he do this!"

Just to have an excuse not to give a grain of rice to the frontier army, so do this kind of thing!
The capital is rich, and most of the time in the previous life, the price of grain was still twenty cents a liter, and everyone could still support it, but now it is a hundred cents a liter, how many families are ruined!

Just because Zhen Guogong signed the document, and because he wanted to overthrow the Zhao family, he actually...

Xie Jue sneered, stroked her hand and said, "Now Cai Bing regards the Zhao family as his mortal enemy. If the Zhao family doesn't boast, his position will be unstable. Therefore, the people of the country are all important to him. It's just a pawn."

After a slight pause, Xie Jue said in a low voice, "Tell me, how many batches are the Ninth Prince's food divided into?"

The guard nodded and said: "Yes, when I left, I had already reached 30 dan. I met another grain team on the way, and it is estimated that I will arrive in the capital three or four days later."

"Third Lord?" Su Yue looked at Xie Jue with some puzzlement.

Xie Jue lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a chuckle: "This Ninth Prince, it's really interesting. The food arrived in batches, which can show his urgent heart for the people. Now that the war is going on, the food that will arrive later , I’m afraid that Cai Bing will have a headache.”
