Chapter 81 Preparation
After talking with Yunqing, knowing that there will be a fierce battle, Yuxi thought that she should hoard more food, which would be safer. Well, we need to buy some medicinal materials.
Yuxi thought for a while, and posted a message to Fu Da's mother.
Fu Da's mother accepted Yu Xi's post, but did not reply immediately, but said to Fu Tianlei: "Do you think I should go?" She always felt that Yu Xi had nothing good to do with her.
Fu Tianlei laughed and said: "The Han family can't eat you again, what are you afraid of?" I never found his daughter-in-law so timid before.
Fu Da's mother thought for a while and nodded and said, "Well, I'll go over tomorrow to see what's going on with her!" If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, you must find her if you have something to do.
Fu Tianlei said: "Mr. Han is a smart person. Even if he finds you for something, he won't let you do anything difficult. Don't worry!" He really felt that his daughter-in-law was thinking too much. He and Yunqing are brothers in life and death, and Han is not stupid, what to do to trick his wife.
When Yuxi saw Fu Da's nǎinǎi, she said straight to the point: "I want to buy some food for storage. I wonder if my sister-in-law can help with this?" grain merchants.
Fu Da's mother froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's the problem? How much food do you want to buy?" Zheng'er asked her to come over through an underground post, and she thought what was the matter.
Yuxi said: "I'm going to buy three to five thousand catties." If you don't buy it now, if you want to buy more grain after the war starts, the price will rise steadily.
Fu Da's nǎinǎi frowned and said: "My sister-in-law's family sells grain, and there should be three to five thousand catties, but what do younger brothers and sisters buy so much grain?"
Yuxi said: "The food at the school has been eaten up, so I want to buy more food, and I will buy it when new food comes out."
Fu Da's nǎinǎi said: "Didn't you say that these children will be sent back at the beginning of spring?" That's what they said before.
Yu Xi smiled bitterly and said: "That's what I said before, but many of these children's parents have died. There will be wars in the beginning of spring. Doesn't letting them go back means letting them die? So these children must stay in the School."
Fu Da's nǎinǎi is not cruel either. Hearing this, he didn't say anything: "The price of buying grain is not cheap now, it is 40 to 50% higher than usual!" Everyone knows that there will be wars in the spring, so the price of grain It also got higher.
Yuxi said: "If the price is high, you have to buy it."
After hearing this, Fu Da's nǎinǎi said, "Success, when the matter is settled, I'll talk to you again, what do you think?"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "I want Han Ji to go to Xinping City with my sister-in-law's people. It would be great if they agree there. If not, I'll go to another house to buy. Besides food, I also want to buy some other things. things." Yuxi is going to make a big purchase this time.
Fu Da nǎinǎi thought for a while and said, "Yes, when do you think it's suitable?"
Yuxi felt that the sooner the better, "Just tomorrow! Anyway, it's not far away." It's only a few days away, and I believe Han Ji can bear it.
Fu Da nǎinǎi has no objection.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Thank you, sister-in-law." Yuxi is not stupid, and she can't see Fu Da's mother's guard against her. Yuxi feels that this matter will see people's hearts for a long time. Although she plotted against the Xu family and the Xu family and caused such big consequences, she has a clear conscience.
Seeing the list Yuxi gave her, Han Ji looked up at Yuxi and asked, "Ma'am, where will we store so much food? And if it is transported to Xinping City, it will be very eye-catching. I don't think it's a big deal." appropriate."
Yuxi also thought of this question a long time ago,
Said: "Transport some to Yucheng, and store all the rest in the farm." The people on the Zhuangzi are all the families of the needy soldiers arranged by Hao Dazhuang, and they are very reliable in comparison. Wherever the food is sent, as long as it is properly closed, there is no need to worry about leaking the news.
Han Ji felt that the small farm was indeed a good place: "Ma'am, there will be a war in the beginning of spring. Should I not go to Xihai?" He thought it would be more appropriate to go to Xihai in June and July. Although it was hotter, but it was the truce period at that time, and he could walk away.
At that time, Yu Xi didn't think about going to war in the beginning of spring: "I won't go for the time being."
Han Ji has been walking around outside, and some things are far-sighted: "Madam, I think it is better for the school to be disbanded. If Madam is worried that those children without father and mother will not be able to survive, then you can leave them alone."
Yuxi has not focused on many things, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions when thinking about things: "Are you worried that when the war breaks out and the situation becomes tense, some people will throw their children into the school?"
Han Ji nodded and said: "Not only that, but I'm also worried that some people will kneel in front of the General's Mansion asking for help. If these people come to ask for help because they really can't make it through, will Madam help or not? Help, it's not appropriate, help If you get one, you won’t be able to help everything. If you don’t help, then Madam will really bear the reputation of being cold-blooded and ruthless.” It’s okay to do good deeds, but you must control it to a certain degree. Once this degree is not grasped, it will become a hindrance.
After hearing this, Yuxi said: "After this matter is dealt with, you will come back to manage the affairs of the outer court!" With Han Ji here, she can remind her of those omissions.
Han Ji naturally has no objection, Yuxi is his master, and he can do whatever he is asked to do: "Ma'am, I think since you said you would disband the school at the end of February, you must do what you say. As for those fatherless Motherless children, if you are worried that they will not be able to survive, you can put them on the farm. There are many things in the village, and these children cannot do physical work, but they can still do some trivial and scattered things." Han Ji means It's very simple, you can't keep raising these children for nothing, but let them work even if they can't do much. There is a good saying, Shengmi is kind and Michou, if you do nothing and raise them for nothing, if these children become dependent in the future, it will be harm to these children.
Yuxi thinks this is a good idea: "Well, wait until the school is over, and then send these children to the farm." By that time, the food matter will be settled.
Now the question came again, Han Ji asked: "Madam, what do you buy so much grain for?"
Yuxi said: "Prepare it in case of emergencies." She didn't think about what to do with it, and she felt that it would not be harmful to prepare more food.
After hearing this, Han Ji said: "Ma'am, in this case, it is enough to buy 50,000 catties of grain." In fact, 50,000 catties of grain is already considered too much.
In front of Han Ji, Yuxi didn't hide her thoughts, and said, "Buy more if you can. There is no harm in storing more food in this place."
Han Ji knew in his heart that the grain should have other uses, so he said immediately: "Madam, I have also heard a lot of outside news in the restaurant. I think, if it is possible, we can start our own grain business in the future." Han Ji After what Ji said, not now. Obviously, he also has great confidence in Yunqing.
Yu Xi didn't answer Han Ji's words, but said: "We'll talk about the future." Qin Zhao wiped Xu's butt last time. Obviously, he himself was not clean, so he was also taken care of by the Xu family. Choking her neck, she would not allow this kind of thing to happen to her family.
Han Ji's words just now were also a test, to test whether Yuxi had any thoughts in this regard. Now that he knows, Madam knows it all!
Buying grain, and buying so much grain, is not a small matter, so Yuxi didn't hide it from Yunqing, and told him about it. Of course, if you want to hide it, you can't hide it. Fu Tianlei will definitely tell him when the time comes.
After listening, Yun Qing asked, "What are you buying so much food for?"
Yuxi said: "Didn't you say that this will be a fierce battle? I will save more food first, and maybe it will come in handy at that time!" It's still the same sentence, be prepared.
Seeing Yunqing's expression of something to say, Yuxi hurriedly said: "Anyway, the family members of the other generals have not left, and I am determined not to leave."
Yun Qing said helplessly, "Why are you so stubborn?"
Yuxi said: "What are you worried about? I have Master Yang and Zijin by my side, as well as Xu Wu and so many guards. I'm sure everything will be fine. Don't worry." The stomach can't do anything else, but it's okay to wait for Yunqing to come back at home.
Yunqing can only compromise, if Yuxi doesn't leave, she can't be tied up and sent away, this will disrespect Yuxi: "I have already hired a doctor, Guo Xun is selecting the right person, and in two days she will be gone." Let that doctor teach."
Yuxi said with a smile: "This is a good thing."
Yun Qing hummed, and said: "You said before that treating the wound with strong wine can make the wound heal faster, and now the results have come out. Treating the wound with strong wine is indeed better, but Qin Zhao did not agree. .I want to buy some myself and put them in the barracks, and I will need them later.” However, the price of spirits is not cheap.
Yuxi thinks that Yunqing is very good, he does not stick to the rules, as long as it is useful, he will not refuse. Knowing Yunqing's concerns, he said with a smile: "This is for medicine, not for drinking. As long as it is not wasted or stolen, it won't take much! Besides, since you bought it, you must pay back the cost price." It's gone." If you want to give it away for free, that's definitely not allowed. This is for public use, not private use, so how can I give it away for nothing.
After hearing this, Yun Qing nodded and said: "Then prepare two hundred altars!" Yun Qing felt that two hundred altars should be enough!
After hearing this, Yuxi joked: "Two hundred altars are not a problem, but the problem is that you can't take the wine back, so you're not afraid that those people will drink it secretly!"
Yun Qing is not a joking person, after listening to Yu Xi's words, he said very seriously: "They know the usefulness of this thing, so they won't make a fuss about it." It is true that many soldiers in the military camp love to drink, but these people are Proper, knowing what to do and what not to do.
Yuxi laughed and said: "What are you doing so seriously? I'm joking with you, but you can't tell? You're so stupid!" It's really a lump. (to be continued)
