Four Husbands Compete for Favor: All Husbands Are Allure

Chapter 40 Lingshui County Borrowing Grain 4

"My lord, you were invited out in such a hurry. Didn't the slaves miss you? Why are you in the second hall? It's a reception? Then why didn't you bring the slaves with you? The slaves are married to you now, do you despise the slaves?" What's your background?" This Hu Meizi became more and more energetic as she talked, and finally wiped away tears pretendingly. "The slave family knew that the adults disliked the slave family. If I had known this, the slave family would have died in the Cuixiang Tower!"

"Oh! I said Xiaocui, if I despise you, will I redeem you? Go back to your room and wait for me. I will go back later. Now it's official. If you don't see me, my brother-in-law will be dismissed by me." Let's go, be obedient and go back!" It seemed that Li Quan liked Xiaocui quite a lot, and discussed in a friendly voice.

"Okay! My lord, hurry up and find Xiao Cui!" Xiao Cui took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes where there were no tears, and disappeared from everyone's sight with her buttocks twisted.Li Quan wiped the sweat off his brow with his sleeve, and returned to the hall. Now he picked up the teacup and drank it with a gurgle.

"Hehe, I made the two young masters laugh! This time, the two young masters can say that there is something wrong!"

Mo Jinran let out a breath, and finally he could talk about business. "It's like this, my lord, do you know that there is going to be a war on the border?"

"I know, of course I know! Who in the entire Canfeng Dynasty doesn't know? What's more, this official, Lingshui County, is not far from the border! Why do you two bring this up?" Li Quan was shocked. For those who do not want to fight, living and working in peace and contentment is the day they most look forward to.

"Ahem, my general's surname is Mo, and I came to Lingshui County just to ask my lord to do me a favor!" Mo Jinran directly showed Li Quan his general badge, expressing his purpose.

"It turned out to be General Mo, I'm disrespectful!" Li Quan carefully looked at Mo Jinran's general token, and saluted after confirming that it was true: "Then who is this?"

"This is Qin Weishi, the deputy general of the Ninth Prince!"

"Vice General Qin is polite!" Li Quan was a little shocked. It was the first time for him, a seventh-rank sesame official, to meet these two famous people!

"Master Li, let's stop talking nonsense. We came here to borrow food. The city of Sa'an on the border was brutally slaughtered, and all the financial food and grass were robbed. We want you to help." Qin Weishi went straight to the point.

"Food? Could it be that our army's food and grass have also been robbed?"

"That's not true! It's just that the people in Sa'an City have no grains of rice. Although there is food and grass in the army, it is not enough to supply the people. You must know that soldiers must not be hungry in battle. If they are not physically fit, how can they fight against the enemy?" Confrontation, that's why this general came to bother Master Li!"

"General Mo is serious. It was an honor for me to come here to Lingshui County, but..." Li Quan hesitated to speak!

"Just what? What is Master Li hiding?" Just this sentence made Mo Jinran extremely nervous. She had a premonition that the rice would not be able to be borrowed.

Li Quan's face was a bit ugly: "It's just that the county doesn't have enough rice, so I can't lend it to the general!"

"It's nonsense! Master Li, Lingshui County is the most affluent county in the surrounding counties, how can there be insufficient rice?" Qin Weishi couldn't bear his temper and became a little angry.Mo Jinran quickly winked at him, pushed him down, stood up himself, walked to Li Quan and stopped not far away, looked at Li Quan with a smile on his face and asked: "May I ask Mr. Li this year? Is there a flood?"

"no!"

"drought?"

"nor!"

"There are no droughts and floods, but there are pests?"

"nor!"

"That means there are no natural disasters?"

"Yes, General Mo!" Li Quan broke out in a cold sweat. For some reason, he felt a great sense of oppression in front of this thin and clamoring young man in front of him!

"Then will the crops have a good harvest?" Mo Jinran's smile widened!

"The harvest of crops this year is good!"

"Hmph! How can there be a saying that there is not enough rice? Master Li, this time the general came to borrow rice, and the court will definitely return it in full in the future, but you are so unreasonable to evade it. What is your intention?" Mo Jinran accepted it. Laughing, staring at Li Quan, waiting for him to give himself an answer!

"General Mo, please don't embarrass this official, what the official said is the truth!" Although Li Quan was afraid in his heart, he must not reveal this matter, otherwise he would have done his best as an official.

"So, Master Li insists on not borrowing?" Mo Jinran did not expect that Li Quan would not agree to borrow food under such circumstances. In fact, this is a good opportunity to curry favor with his boss. If he borrows rice this time, Not to mention that he will be able to return in full in the future, he will also have the credit for saving Lincheng, and the emperor will definitely appreciate it in the future!

Li Quan lowered his head and shook his head.The will is very firm!

"Master Li, do you know that this official rice is also from the imperial court. As long as this general submits it to the imperial court, you will also take out the rice at that time!"

"The lower officials know, it's just that my Lingshui County does not have enough rice!" Li Quan was deadlocked to the end, thinking in his heart that it would only last for a while. It's my fault, and I can't do anything to myself!

"Well, we won't bother you anymore!" Mo Jinran said harshly, turned his head and left!Although Qin Weishi was dissatisfied, he followed Mo Jinran out of the Yamen without saying anything.Go back to the inn where the soldiers rest and meet with them, and discuss the next step!

Mo Jinran looked at the map and calculated the time and said to Qin Weishi: "It seems that there is not enough time, we have to divide our troops into two groups, Adjutant Qin, you go to Kongxian Town with the token of the Nine Princes, and I will go to Wuling City! "

"How is this possible? This subordinate is ordered to protect General Mo!" Qin Weishi refused!

"But if this continues, I'm really afraid that other generals will object to distributing porridge and rice to the people, and they will starve by then. Although there are only old, weak, women and children left in Sa'an City, the size of Sanan City is not a small number. And according to my estimates, the people who fled to the surrounding area will definitely return to their homes after seeing Sa'an City subside, and the food shortage will be even more severe then!"

"This..." Qin Weishi was a little shaken. He had to say that he was also a good official and would consider the common people.

"Don't do this and that, it's settled like this, the men and soldiers we lead will work in two ways, and they will protect me!" Seeing that he was wavering, Mo Jinran tried harder to persuade him.

"But general, if you have something, how can your subordinates explain it to the Ninth Prince?" Qin Weishi was still worried about Mo Jinran!

"Oh, let's go in your direction! I'm lucky and fateful, how could something happen?"

"General Mo, it's better for your subordinates to go with you!" Qin Weishi decided to follow Mo Jinran after weighing it up. The people are important, and their generals are also important. "And not all officials in all places will be so indifferent, no Reasonable!"

"No, I can't take such a risk. The success rate of splitting up will be higher. That's it. My official position is higher than yours, right? You have to listen to me!" Finally, Mo Jinran played with his authority.Although she didn't know when she became so great and cared so much about the common people, she just wanted to do this. This was the voice from the bottom of her heart, to be a person who loves the common people.
