Flourishing age's Medical concubine

After a few more words, Mr. Su left. Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei didn't keep him either. After all, they are the confidants of his father. They are not suitable to be too close to him.

There was a moment of silence in the study. For a while, Xiao Qianchi asked, "second brother, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Qianwei said calmly, "I listen to my brother."

Xiao Qianchi held back his anger and said in secret, "well said. I just refused Mr. Su's proposal. Why didn't you want to ask me for my opinion." after a moment of silence, Xiao Qianchi said, "don't be polite, second brother. You know big brother doesn't have much ability."

"Brother, you're welcome." Xiao Qianwei's smile was a little stiff. How could he not see that Xiao Qianchi was angry. But in his opinion, Xiao Qianchi's anger was really inexplicable. They are the brothers born to their mother, aren't they? Xiao Qianchi turned to Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo from the beginning. Is there any backbone?

Xiao Qianchi was silent on his face, but his heart was cold. Just looking at Xiao Qianwei's expression, he can guess what he is thinking, but does this brother really think he doesn't know anything? They fought against their cousin and sister-in-law together. Did he have his own burden? When there was a big problem, he solved it by listening to his brother. All the remaining difficulties and troubles still belong to him?

"You're welcome. Since the second younger brother just rejected Mr. Su's proposal, he must have made a decision. Elder brother is listening." Xiao Qianchi said calmly, "my father has no time to separate now. If the second younger brother can handle things properly, I will ask for merit for you in front of my father."

Xiao Qianwei's face changed again and again. It took him a long time to sigh a little: "just, brother, it's time for our brothers to work together. Brother, maybe he misunderstood me."

Xiao Qianchi said with a smile, "how? No matter what, we are all brothers."

Xiao Qianwei drooped his eyes, but countless thoughts were turning rapidly in his mind. Today's situation is indeed very troublesome, but... My father will never let things get out of hand. Therefore, as long as he can control the situation and do not deteriorate these two days, it will be a great achievement. Although there are some risks, it is also an opportunity. If you really blindly retreat and fall into the eyes of your father, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. Glancing at Xiao Qianchi sitting in a daze, didn't the eldest brother upset his father because he was too indecisive and hesitant?

"Since the eldest brother said so, the younger brother tried his best." Xiao Qianwei said.

"You're welcome, second brother." Xiao Qianchi said faintly.

However, things are not as easy to solve as Xiao Qianwei imagined. None of the decrees issued by Xiao Qianwei could be implemented. On the contrary, the scholars in Jinling City made more trouble. Except for the Guozijian stationed by Youzhou army and the scholars of Xie's Academy, almost all the scholars in Jinling became noisy.

Yan Guan and the officials of the Imperial Academy knelt at the gate of the palace to ask for the emperor's majesty. They knelt all day and didn't waver even after dark. Many civil servants who were physically ill even knelt and fainted on the spot. Seeing this situation, the scholars in Jinling are even more enthusiastic, and many central government officials have joined or simply took leave at home. The next day, the whole hall was completely shut down. Hundreds of thousands of troops stationed outside Jinling City began to move because the Ministry of household could not allocate food and grass in time.

"Touch!"

In King Yan's residence, Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei were holding discussions with a group of staff in the study. The door of the study was kicked open from the outside. The people were startled and looked at the door one after another. They saw Xiao qianjiong rushing in from the outside with an angry face. Xiao Qianwei frowned and said unhappily, "third brother, why are you so rude!"

Xiao qianjiong kicked over the chair beside his leg and sneered, "rude? I want to ask you what the hell you're doing!"

Xiao Qianchi sighed, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "third brother, have something to say."

Xiao qianjiong said angrily, "say it well? If you say it well, the soldiers and horses outside the city will mutiny!"

"Nonsense!" Xiao Qianwei said coldly, "who doesn't want to die!"

Xiao qianjiong sneered, "they are dying. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses starve to death or rob the people outside the city without food and grass?" hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses without food and grass, whether they rush into the city to rob the food in the city or harm the people around, are enough to cause a riot. Xiao Qianwei's face was a little ugly. He clenched his teeth and said, "what's your hurry? My father will wake up soon."

"I believe you." Xiao qianjiong went to one side and sat down with a mocking look on his young face. "I just don't know whether the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city believe it. By the way, don't say I didn't tell you, my father didn't appear in front of people for several days. Now, let alone ordinary soldiers in the army, even the generals in the army are a little agitated."

Xiao Qianchi frowned and said, "third brother, will there be no food in the army? Who sent the news?"

Xiao qianjiong frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there's nothing wrong with the rumors. The food and grass in the army can last for a day or two at most." hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed outside Jinling City. No matter who is full, they won't give them too much food and grass. It's not asking for trouble except for something. But in this way, we must take care of the supply of grain and grass. In case of trouble, hundreds of thousands of hungry soldiers and horses are hard to deal with, especially when they are facing a rich and prosperous city.

"When I just entered the city, I saw that many shops in the city had been closed. What are you doing these two days?" Xiao qianjiong asked impatiently.

Xiao Qianwei clenched his teeth and said, "it's all those ghosts made by sour Confucianism!"

Xiao qianjiong turned his eyes. "I mean, what are you going to do! Don't tell me anything else, give me the five-day food and grass first!" the food and grass in the army is sent every five days. It's already a day late this time, otherwise the morale of the army can't be chaotic because of a little rumor.

There was a moment of silence in the study. For a long time, Xiao Qianwei said, "No."

"Are you kidding me?" Xiao qianjiong angrily said, "there is no national treasury. Don't tell me that the grain and grass in the Treasury can't be taken out these days. Xiao Qianye is not so poor even if he is an asshole? If so, it's useless for us to work hard to beat Jinling!"

Xiao Qianwei's face turned blue and white. Xiao Qianchi sighed and handed over several envelopes on the table. Xiao qianjiong impatiently took it over and opened it. The more he looked, the tighter his eyebrows were, "What is this?! the Youzhou army went south to the South Bank of the Lijiang River and asked for disaster relief? Xiao Qianye forcibly expropriated the family property of the courtiers and returned it as usual. And... The pensions of the soldiers and officials who died in the war and the salaries of all civil and military officials... And this... The Yuyang flood... Are you stupid? After the Youzhou army crossed the river, the people were innocent, and it's none of our business! And forcibly expropriated the family property "Are you talking about the Zhu family? Pension, salary, flood... The ghost place of Yuyang has a drought every five years. When did the flood happen?"
