Chapter 340 Worry
Zilan asked someone to buy some herb seeds and came back. He chose a few large amount of herbs needed on the battlefield and took them back to plant them in the space, preparing to make a backup plan.
I also bought some good varieties, including some coarse grains such as millet and corn. Such coarse grains are actually the most used in military camps. Rice is fine grains, but in fact the reserves are not sufficient. The most food for soldiers is coarse grains, which are much cheaper than rice. You can buy enough portions.
There is also firewood, charcoal forage, and Zilan also planted some alfalfa in the space, which can be used as forage for military horses in the future. This is indispensable.
Although the imperial court made preparations, it was his relatives who went to the battlefield to fight. He always loved and loved her. Is it my own heart to be able to prepare more?
She silently made preparations for everything in the space and could think of it. Song Zhengtian asked someone to buy seeds and seedlings to send them to her, and fully supported her to do things that are beneficial to the country and the people. This is a great good.
Ordinary grains mature very quickly, and Zilan works in the space without stopping. He harvests the mature grain and grass and puts it in the warehouse in the space, without fear of rotting and keeping it fresh.
The northwest is bitter and cold, and there may be few vegetables. Can the air-dried fruit slices be supplemented with some vitamins? She has grown a lot of fruit trees, especially various peaches. She can't finish making wine, and the more she piles up.
Just cut it into slices and air-dry it into slices to facilitate storage and pile it up.
There are also firewood and charcoal, and there are many branches after trimming, so I will pile them up first.
She felt that this war might be inevitable. The northwest has been guarding the Yu family and the Yang family for many years. Now the two old generals are old and have no deterrent power. The Tatar Kingdom has begun to jump again.
In order to ensure the normal operation of Xianglou, Zilan ordered the foreign affairs manager to transport large amounts of red wine, and the price of red wine had been increased first in Xianglou.
We started to go to Jiangnan to take advantage of the convenient conditions of the Song family's shipping, and purchased grain step by step, and purchased it continuously on a small scale. In addition to supplying the winery to the winery, all the wine produced in the farm was put into the warehouse and kept it in the warehouse.
Although the managers were strange, they soon received unanimous approval from the Song family. They cooperated with her to issue the order in a timely manner, and all preparations were in progress in an orderly manner.
Years of experience have given Zilan enough vision and vision to deal with this problem and prepare in advance, not only for the Yang family, but also for the emperor to know that they are doing their duties as a minister. If they do well, they can also receive the attention of the emperor. It is also a good thing for the country and the people. It is okay to do more.
This matter is carried out in a low-key manner and does not miss a word to the outside world. This is to avoid causing fluctuations in grain prices and affecting the surrounding people.
The Cui family knew the news immediately and there was a movement immediately.
Mr. Cui smiled and talked about this matter, asking everyone, "Tell me, is it a bit troublesome for Lan'er to do this?"
The butler of Jiang has been with his own opinions on many things for many years. After thinking about it, he was the first to speak, "Brother-in-law, my daughter-in-law doesn't think so. I think this child is worthy of being the daughter of the Song family. He has a reasonable and forward-looking attitude. I have also heard from my family that a war may not be avoided in the northwest and will not be too far away.
If a person has no future, he will have immediate worries. Since a war is imminent, it is appropriate to make some preparations in advance. Her reaction is faster than many people, and I deeply admire her.
Once the war begins, the price of food and grass may rise. Not to mention helping the northwest, ordinary people in the capital will probably not be able to afford food.
I personally agree with her actions. I think our family should be ready, and it would be too late if we don’t prepare.
The great families of aristocratic families were originally guarded by the emperor. If they refused to work hard in the face of national hatred and hatred, wouldn’t the emperor be jealous of us? Even though they have the ability to help, they ignore the people’s life and death. How can they tell the past?”
Obviously, Jiang's daughter-in-law who has been a housekeeper for many years is very clear and can guess Zilan's concerns and considerations accurately.
Jiang herself admired Zilan very much. She thought that she was too young as a clan wife, and she might need to observe a few more times.
But now I agree very much, and I have to cooperate fully when she enters the door.
"I agree with Second Aunt, our old house should be ready in advance. We will have the first wave of responses at that time, otherwise the emperor will really hold grudges."
Cui Hao also keenly realized this problem, and his grandfather would be cautious even if he didn't mention it.
Mr. Cui nodded with satisfaction, looked at his wife smiling, calmly.
"Your grandfather and I have already made it clear to the old house in the clan. The old house has also written a letter and sent someone back to explain the matter specifically. The family capital has begun to arrange personnel. You should also take this matter seriously and urge them not to be cheated."
Old Mrs. Cui was not slow at all. After getting the news, she started to prepare, no less than Zilan's speed, and her experience is here.
"Yes, my grandson must arrange this."
"Well. Take the young children to experience more. If you don't have to make mistakes, you will be in trouble if you don't know anything."
"yes."
After hearing this, Zhang thought silently, as if he understood why his father-in-law and mother-in-law chose Zilan. In this regard, she was indeed far inferior to others. The Cui family needed such a daughter-in-law, and her son also needed her.
Zilan was making various preparations for the northwest affairs, so he had some plans in his mind. He waited for his father to come back from the department and discussed with him.
In the afternoon, Song Zhengtian came back after a busy day. Zilan quickly poured a cup of spiritual tea to relieve his father's fatigue.
"Dad, the department is very tired. Your face is not very good."
Song Zhengtian took a sip of tea, sighed comfortably, and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. After reading the file for a day, his eyes were a little blurry. I gave me a drop of eyes to use. I have to dig out all the old file and proofread them carefully."
Zi Lan took out Zizhulu and dripped her eyes for her father, so that he could close his eyes and relax for a while.
"You have something to say, say, I'll listen."
Song Zhengtian closed his eyes and leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, tilted his head and closed his eyes to soothe.
"I want to talk about the northwest. I feel that this winter is not easy. I have accumulated some food. Should I transport it to save it first? It will be difficult when the war begins. I think in my mind that the ants move over little by little, looking for reliable people to guard it, and I don't know if it can be done.
This time I have decided that my uncle and Lord Yu from the Yu family will go together. I am still worried in my heart. It’s okay to prepare more.”
After all, she doesn't understand war, but she knows the principle of food and grass first. Is it easier to fight a battle with sufficient food and grass? Isn't it safe to have enough logistics?
"Well, I think carefully, but I'm afraid of big things. This matter cannot be done in vain. I know your heart, I'm afraid that something will happen to your uncle, but I have to worry about the emperor's thoughts in some things, otherwise I'll overtake my affairs and become ulterior motives.
I will go back and discuss with your grandfather and Grandpa Cui and others, get a reasonable charter and then bring a few families together to make the emperor feel at ease by passing the road of his son and grandpa Cui and have face."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll prepare first. If you need it, tell me. I'll move it to the warehouse. I'll have someone go to Jiangnan and other places to buy grain."
