"Are you willing to let those idiots steal all our money? Just beat Linyuan to disability, don't beat him again!"
"Do you know how much food a hundred thousand soldiers need to eat in a day? When they start fighting, they all become pigs, so edible!"
After he finished speaking, he took out the account book and showed it to Ning Guzhou, telling him how much money and food Qinzhou still had.
Ning Guzhou just returned to Qinzhou, and he started fighting with the Linyuan people as soon as he came back. He really didn't have time to see the surplus of Qinzhou's money and grain.
When he saw the account books that Lin Rufeng took out, he felt confused. After all, Qinzhou was really not very wealthy.
Although there are many gem mines in Qinzhou, the land is not fertile and is short of water all year round, so the output of the land is very limited.
If you use gems to buy rice grains, you will often get a lower price, and a lot of gems will not get you much rice grains.
Even if canals are built to divert water from the snowy mountains into Qinzhou, the land that will be opened up this year is still limited.
Moreover, because such land has never been planted with crops before, it is not fertile, and crops generally do not grow particularly well.
If this war continues, Qinzhou's rice supply will indeed become a big problem.
After all, although this battle was fought very neatly, it also consumed all the rice and grain in Qinzhou.
Therefore, the people in Linyuan dared to offer such peace terms, but they saw that Qinzhou was not suitable for a long war.
It was only in this situation that Qinzhou could offer such conditions as Shuxiu broke into Linyuan's royal court and broke the existing balance in Linyuan.
After all, Linyuan now is less able to withstand the consumption of war than Qinzhou.
Ning Guzhou asked the army to set off and prepare to return to Qinzhou.
Shuxiu handed Ning Guzhou a bag of things on his horse. He opened it and took a look, and saw a pile of gold and silver jewelry.
Ning Guzhou looked at Shuxiu with some surprise. She clapped her hands, and the deputy general and others each carried a bag of gold and silver jewelry and placed it in front of him.
Shuxiu smiled and said: "This is our reward for looting the royal court."
"Because we are busy on the road, we can't take away many things in the royal court, so we can only take some valuable things."
"I was afraid that the things would be too heavy for the horses to drive, so I distributed all the things equally to each soldier to carry."
Because they were separated, they didn't add much weight to each horse, and it didn't drag them down on their journey.
They are all soldiers who have fought many battles and are very capable in fighting. This time, except for a few besieged soldiers, no one fell behind.
So basically everything they brought out from the royal court is still there.
This time they were being hunted very hard. If they couldn't get rid of the pursuers, she planned to throw out those things for the pursuers to pick up.
Ning Guzhou was silent when he saw those things, and then said after a while: "Thank you for your hard work."
"You take the things with you first. After you return to Qinzhou and take inventory, I will reward you based on your merits."
He finally understood why these soldiers and horses were chasing Shuxiu and his party. It turned out that these things were the cause of the trouble.
He also discovered that Shuxiu had been with Tang Miaoxin for a long time and was greatly influenced by Tang Miaoxin.
Although she is still steady and considerate, she is much more courageous and has a tendency to let herself go.
Ning Guzhou lamented this change in Shuxiu, which was definitely a good thing for Qinzhou.
From then on, Qinzhou had one more general who was good at fighting.
After seeing his expression, Shuxiu laughed and said, "The princess cannot go to the front line because she is pregnant. She must be extremely itchy."
"The princess will be very happy if you bring these things back."
Ning Guzhou's eyes were half closed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "Yes, she will be very happy."
Shuxiu reminded him: "Your Majesty, you have arrived in Linyuan, why don't you bring some local products back to His Highness?"
Ning Guzhou frowned: "A local specialty?"
Shuxiu nodded: "It doesn't need to be expensive, but it's something that Qinzhou doesn't have."
"This will make His Highness feel that the prince is also thinking of His Highness during the war."
"Although Your Highness is open-minded by nature and not as coy as ordinary women, she is still a woman after all."
"As long as a woman is a woman, she will hope that the person she likes will always have her in his heart and keep her in his heart anytime and anywhere."
"The small items are not valuable, but they represent the prince's affection for His Highness."
Ning Guzhou asked her: "Have you prepared a gift for Mo Li?"
Shuxiu's face turned slightly red, but she nodded lightly: "Of course!"
Ning Guzhou glanced at her with a slightly complicated mood.
Although he and Tang Miaoxin have been married for several years, they don't spend much time together.
He has never been very understanding of women's thoughts. He only knows that he is kind to Tang Miao and is completely obedient to her.
But in terms of how to be nice to her and how to express his affection, he has never been able to find the trick.
At this moment, Shuxiu's words made him understand something.
He thought for a while and then said: "Okay, I understand."
Shuxiu wanted to laugh when she saw his look. King Qin was an unparalleled hero, wise and courageous, broad-minded, but an upright man.
She heard Mo Li talk about their affairs before she met Tang Miaoxin, and she was amazed.
She felt from the bottom of her heart that it was really a miracle that Ning Guzhou could win Tang Miaoxin's heart!
She hoped that Tang Miaoxin would be happy and that the relationship between the couple would always be harmonious. She thought she could give him a proper reminder.
She took out the gift prepared for Li Qiye, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
She hadn't seen Mo Li for several days and really missed him.
Ning Guzhou saw Shuxiu's appearance from the side and felt that Mo Li was really lucky to have Shuxiu miss him like this.
Shuxiu's words made Ning Guzhou worried. He really didn't know what gift to bring to Tang Miaoxin.
Because on the way back, Linyuan’s tribe could no longer be found: they were all destroyed when he came over!
Where should he go to prepare a gift for her now?
Ning Guzhou walked with the army for two days in such melancholy. Then he saw a large number of cattle, sheep and horses scattered on the grassland not far away.
Because of the war, Ning Guzhou pushed those tribes back and did not take care of these livestock, so now they are all scattered in groups on the grassland.
Ning Guzhou thought of something and asked the army to drive the cattle, sheep and horses back to Qinzhou.
Half a month later, Ning Guzhou returned to Kaicheng with his army and brigade of cattle, sheep and horses.
Those cattle and sheep had killed many cattle and sheep for food along the way, but even so, the number was still very large.
Ning Guzhou did not drive the cattle, sheep and horses into the city, but asked his soldiers to surround them outside the city.
For a time, there was a lot of excitement outside Kaicheng.
Ning Guzhou didn't care about this, he hurried back to the palace on horseback.
A guard had already returned to the city to report to Tang Miaoxin that Ning Guzhou was back.
