"Sir, you were invited out in such a hurry. Isn't the slave family thinking about you? Why are you in the second hall? It's a reception? Then why don't you bring the slave family with you? The slave family has married you now. Do you dislike the slave family?
What is your origin?" The foxy girl spoke more and more enthusiastically, and finally she pretended to wipe away her tears. "The slave family knows that the master despises the slave family. If I had known, the slave family would have died in Cuixiang Tower!"
"Oops! I said Xiaocui, if I dislike you, will I redeem you? Go back to the room and wait for me. I will go back later. Now that we are official, I will send my brother-in-law away even if I don't see you.
Let's go, be obedient and go back quickly!" It seemed that Li Quan liked Xiao Cui very much, and he discussed it in a good voice.
"Okay! Sir, please hurry up and find Xiao Cui!" Xiao Cui took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes that had no traces of tears at all. She twisted her buttocks and disappeared from everyone's sight. Li Quan then wiped it with his sleeve.
With the sweat on his forehead, he returned to the hall, picked up the tea cup and drank it in a slurp.
"Haha, I made the two young masters laugh! This time, the two young masters can say that something is wrong!"
Mo Jinran took a breath and finally got down to business. "That's it, sir, do you know that there is going to be a war at the border?"
"I know, of course I know! Who in the entire Canfeng Dynasty doesn't know? What's more, my Lingshui County is not far from the border! Why did you two mention this matter?" Li Quan was shocked, both officials and civilians were
For those who do not want to fight, living and working in peace and contentment is what they look forward to most.
"Ahem, my general's surname is Mo. I came to Lingshui County just to ask you to do me a favor!" Mo Jinran directly took out his general badge and showed it to Li Quan, telling Li Quan his purpose of coming.
"It turns out to be General Mo. I'm disrespectful!" Li Quan looked at Mo Jinran's general token carefully and saluted after deciding that it was genuine: "Then who is this?"
"This is Qin Weishi, the deputy general of the Ninth Prince!"
"Vice General Qin is so polite!" Li Quan was a little shocked. This was the first time for him, a seventh-grade official, to meet these two famous figures!
"Master Li, let's stop talking nonsense. We are here to borrow food. The city of Sa'an on the border was massacred and all the financial and food supplies were stolen. We want you to help." Qin Weishi went straight to the point.
"Food? Could it be that my army's food and grass were also robbed?"
"That's not the case! It's just that the people in Sa'an City have no grain of rice. Although the army has food and grass, it is not enough to supply the people. You have to know that soldiers cannot fight without enough food. If they cannot improve their physical fitness, how can they fight with the enemy?
Confrontation, that’s why I, the general, came to trouble Mr. Li!”
"General Mo is serious. Originally, it was an honor for me in Lingshui County to have the general come here, but..." Li Quan hesitated to speak!
"Just what? What's the unspeakable secret of Mr. Li?" Just this sentence made Mo Jinran extremely nervous. She had a hunch that she wouldn't be able to borrow the rice.
Li Quan looked a little ugly: "It's just that the county's rice reserves are not enough, so we can't lend it to the general!"
"That's nonsense! Mr. Li, Lingshui County is the richest county in the nearby counties, how can it not have enough rice?" Qin Weishi couldn't bear his temper and got a little angry. Mo Jinran quickly winked at him and suppressed him.
, he stood up, walked not far from Li Quan and stopped, looked at Li Quan with a smile and asked: "May I ask Mr. Li if there will be floods in Lingshui County this year?"
"No!"
"drought?"
"nor!"
“If there is no drought or flood, how can there be insect disaster?”
"nor!"
"That means there won't be any natural disasters?"
"Yes, General Mo!" Li Quan broke out in a cold sweat. For some reason, he felt very oppressed in front of this thin and shouting young master!
"Will the crops be harvested?" Mo Jinran's smile widened!
“The crops are good this year!”
"Hmph! Is there such a thing as not having enough rice? Mr. Li, this general is here to borrow rice. The court will definitely return it in full in the future, but you are so unreasonable and evasive. What are your intentions?" Mo Jinran accepted it.
Smiling, staring at Li Quan, waiting for him to give him an answer!
"General Mo, please don't embarrass me. What I said is the truth!" Although Li Quan was scared, he must not let this matter come out, otherwise he would be in trouble as an official.
"So, Mr. Li is determined not to borrow rice?" Mo Jinran did not expect that Li Quan would not agree to borrow rice 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 one day he will be able to return as many as possible, and he will also contribute to saving Lincheng, and the emperor will definitely appreciate it one day!
Li Quan lowered his head and shook his head. He was very determined!
"Master Li, do you know that this official rice also belongs to the imperial court? As long as I, the general, go to the imperial court, you will also have to take out the rice!"
"Your Majesty knows, but I do have insufficient rice in Lingshui County!" Li Quan persisted in the stalemate, thinking that if he waited for the imperial edict and the rice from the court also came down, he would not be willing to help.
You can't do anything to yourself if you make mistakes!
"Well, we won't disturb you!" Mo Jinran said fiercely, turned around and left! Although Qin Weishi was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything more and followed Mo Jinran out of the Yamen. Returning to the soldiers
Meet them at the resting inn 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 take the Ninth Prince's token to Kongxian Town, and I will go to Wuling City!
"
"How is this possible? My subordinates were ordered to protect General Mo!" Qin Weishi refused!
"But if this continues, I'm really afraid that other generals will oppose the distribution of porridge and rice to the people, and they will be hungry by then. Although there are only old, weak, women and children left in Sa'an City, the city of Sanan is so big, it is still a big number.
And according to my estimation, the people who fled to the surrounding areas will definitely return home after seeing that the city of Sa'an has calmed down, and then food will be even more scarce!"
"This..." Qin Weishi was a little shaken. He had to say that he was also a good official and would consider the people.
"Stop this and that, it's settled. The soldiers I lead will work in two directions, and they will protect me!" Seeing that he was wavering, Mo Jinran persuaded him even harder.
"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, tell me what's going on! I'm blessed with great fortune, how could anything happen?"
"General Mo, it would be better for my subordinates to go with you!" Qin Weishi weighed and decided to follow Mo Jinran. The people are important, but so are their generals. "And not all officials in all places will be so indifferent. No.
That’s right!”
"No, I can't take such a risk. The success rate of separate operations will be higher. That's it. My official position is higher than yours, right? You have to listen to me!" In the end, Mo Jinran showed his official power. Although she didn't know it.
When did she become so great and care so much about the people, but she just wanted to do this. This was the voice in her heart, to be a person who loves and protects the people.
