Chapter 621 Heartless

Yan Wushuang was talking with Meng Nian when the guards outside raised their voices and said, "My lord, the side concubine sent someone to say that the princess has a fever." Yan Wushuang treasured his daughter A Bao very much, so when A Bao fell ill, Yuchen immediately sent everyone to tell Yan Wushuang.

Yan Wushuang was a little worried, and said to Meng Nian, "I'll go and see Abao first, and I'll talk about other things later." The baby girl is sick, so there's no time to do other things.

Looking at Yan Wushuang's hasty footsteps, Meng Nian smiled. It is a good thing for the prince to finally have someone who makes him happy. In addition, Princess Abao looks like a jade carving, and anyone who sees it will like it.

Yan Wushuang rushed to the backyard in a hurry, looked at her flushed daughter, and her face immediately sank: "What's going on? Why does Ah Bao have a fever when he's doing well?"

Yuchen said: "The weather is relatively hot now, and Ah Bao kicked the quilt at night, so he caught a cold." Every time the weather changes, children are most likely to get sick.

Yan Wushuang didn't care about so much, if Abao kicked the quilt to catch the cold, it was because the maids and maids didn't take good care of them, so she immediately issued an order to send out all of Abao's nurses and maids, and replace them with new ones.

Nanny Gui brought up the boiled medicine, but Ah Bao didn't want to drink it. Not to mention children, not many adults are willing to drink this kind of bitter medicine.

Yuchen looked at Yan Wushuang holding the medicine, and for a long time he didn't let Abao drink two sips, so he couldn't help saying: "My lord, let the concubine feed it!" Depending on Abao's temper, this medicine is definitely not enough to feed. down.

Yan Wushuang hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the medicine to Yuchen, while he himself stood by and watched.

Abao didn't want to drink the medicine, so Yuchen could only force it down. Seeing Abao crying miserably, Yan Wushuang walked out of the house and asked Imperial Physician Le who was outside, "Can't you make the kind of pills that children eat?" Feeding pills is much simpler and more convenient than feeding medicines.

Doctor Le lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have also tried it. But the pills I made are not very effective." Since taking the pills is not as effective as drinking the medicine directly, it shows that such an experiment has failed. .

Yan Wushuang is not a considerate master, and said: "Since the effect is not good, then find ways to improve it." After a pause, Yan Wushuang added: "If you really make such a pill, I will let you do it But he is the first person in the history of medicine, and by then, it will be passed down through the ages."

At this moment, Yan Wushuang is just a father who cares about his daughter and doesn't want her to suffer.

Imperial Physician Le is not at all curious about what has been passed down through the ages. Working under Yan Wu's hands, he would be satisfied if he could keep his family safe and sound. However, he didn't dare to reveal the thoughts in his heart, Doctor Le lowered his head even more: "My lord, this subordinate will do my best."

Not only did Abao have a fever, but Yuxi's triplets also had a fever. However, because it was only a mild fever, Sister Quan and Mother Lan did not ask a doctor to prescribe a prescription for the triplets, but first used local methods to cool down the temperature of the three children.

The child is sick, and Yuxi is not at ease handling government affairs in the front yard. Every quarter of an hour, Meilan and Jingbai were asked to go to the backyard to see the situation. After finally finishing the matter at hand, he rushed to the backyard in a hurry.

Looking at Yuxi's anxious expression, Quan Quan said hurriedly: "Don't worry, the children are asleep, and when they wake up, there should be no big problem. As long as they don't repeat themselves in the next two days, they will be fine." gone."

Looking at the three sons sleeping in a row, Yuxi smiled wryly and said, "I am really incompetent as a mother." Yuxi felt extremely guilty that she couldn't take care of the child herself when she was sick.

Sister Quan smiled and said, "Don't think too much about it. Things outside are important now. When the prince comes back, you can take good care of their three brothers." In fact, Sister Quan and Mother Lan brought two mothers-in-law Son six servant girls,

The triplets are well taken care of. But this child is not sick.

Yuxi stroked Brother Rui's smooth forehead and hummed. In fact, when Yunqing came back, she could spare time to take care of the child when he was sick. Other times, just as busy. The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things, so it is thanks to the experience that I have, so I don't have to rush around.

Quan Momo thought for a moment, then asked in a mosquito-like voice, "When will the prince come back?"

Yuxi shook her head and said, "My lord has arrived at the junction of Henan and Hubei, and I won't be able to return in a short time." There is no way to estimate the war, so there is no way to determine the return date.

Sister Quan let out an oh, and didn't ask any more questions. At this moment, Meilan walked in softly and whispered: "Princess, an urgent military report has been sent ahead." Other things can be put aside, and the urgent military report cannot be delayed for half a minute.

Upon hearing this, Sister Quan said softly, "Don't worry, the child will be fine with me and Mama Lan. You can deal with the outside affairs with peace of mind!"

Yuxi nodded and said: "Brother Rui and the three brothers, we will trouble Sister Quan." It is also fortunate that there is Sister Quan, otherwise Yuxi would not be able to worry so much.

Yu Xi returned to the front yard, rubbed her temples after reading the military report, and said to Xu Wu, "Let Yuan Ying come over immediately." This military report was written by Yun Qing himself, asking for food and military pay.

Yunqing recruited another 150,000 soldiers in Henan. Du Zheng originally recruited 150,000 soldiers in Henan. After excluding those who died in battle, there are now 350,000 soldiers in Henan alone. The food and grass consumed by these soldiers and horses every day, as well as the military pay that needs to be paid, made Yuxi a little overwhelmed.

As soon as Xu Wu looked at the posture, he asked: "Are you asking for food and military pay again?" Although the recruited soldiers and horses were not paid much, they couldn't support the large number of people!

General Yuxi put down the newspaper, and said with a hum: "It's going to be a hard life again." The little family property that was saved has been used up. Now I just hope that God will open his eyes, this year is a bumper harvest year. Otherwise, there is no way to live this day.

This time, it only took three months to capture the two provinces, which is very fast. It benefited from natural disasters, but also because of the drought, many people couldn't survive and robbed rich families and those rich officials, and those rich families ran away with their families with gold and silver after they knew that the Northwest Army was coming. Therefore, the Northwest Army captured these two places and got little spoils. It is completely different from the time when the army captured the northwest, and this vacancy needs to be filled.

Xu Wu said: "No matter how hard it is, it will only be this time. When the harvest is ready, this day will be better."

Yuxi smiled wryly and said: "This year, half of the places have reduced or exempted taxes. No matter how good the harvest is, they will not be able to collect much taxes. There are still some war expenses. But the millions of soldiers and horses are only military pay It costs tens of millions a year, plus the officials' salaries and other expenses, just doing the calculations is a headache." Yuxi didn't count the expenses such as the replacement of soldiers and horses, clothing and equipment, otherwise it would be more up.

Xu Wu wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. During the war, he still felt that there were too few soldiers and horses. But after hearing Wang Hao say this, he realized that the more soldiers and horses there were, the more money they would burn.

The room suddenly fell into silence.

After a while, Xu Wucai said: "Princess, when the war is over, let them, like the soldiers in Yucheng, farm the fields by themselves. In this way, at least they can save food rations."

One sentence from Yuxi made Xu Wu unable to continue: "Food and grass can be saved, but military pay is indispensable."

Xu Wu was silent.

Zhuzi shouted outside: "Princess, Master Yuan, please see me." This is Yuan Ying coming.

Yu Xi and Yuan Ying talked about this matter for a long time, and when they left, Yuan Ying looked solemn.

After Yuan Ying left, Yuxi sent someone to call Tan Tuo and Liu Biyuan over. Liu Biyuan took over An Zike's position and became the chief envoy of the Northwest.

Tan Tuo didn't interrupt when he heard what Yu Xi said. War was originally a matter of burning money. This time the war wiped out all the wealth of the family, and within two years, it is impossible to start a war again.

Hearing Yuxi talk about the battle situation in Hubei, Tan Tuo said: "Princess, if you still want to attack Shu, the war will not be over in three months!" According to the current progress, Hubei can be taken within a month at most. For a month, they can fully support it, but if they attack Shu, there is no way to predict what will happen. However, no matter how protracted the war was, the rear would not have so much financial support.

Yuxi said: "It depends on what the prince wants. However, the land of Shu is rich in resources, and it would be great if it can be captured."

Naturally, the bigger the territory, the better, but it also depends on whether you can bear it. Tan Tuo said: "Princess, but the finances are tight now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to support it." To fight a war, not only depends on the strength of the soldiers, but also depends on whether the family is rich or not.

Yuxi also had a headache because of this, so she specially asked Tan Tuo to discuss this matter. Yuxi hopes to win the land of Shu in one go. But if the battle drags on for too long, let's wait for a while and wait for them to recover. Anyway, Shu was already surrounded by them on three sides, so it wouldn't be too difficult to fight.

This talk is about darkness. When Yuxi walked out of the study, her face was exhausted, the stall was getting bigger and bigger, and the burden was getting heavier.

In the evening, Yuxi wanted to take care of the triplets by herself, and was persuaded by Quan Nuan to go back to the main house to rest: "If you fall ill, not only the inner courtyard but also the outer courtyard will be in a mess. Here are me and Don't worry about it once Mama Lan is in charge."

Yuxi couldn't help it, and finally went back to the house to sleep.

The next day, when it was bright, Master Yang came over. Looking at Yuxi, Master Yang said with a smile: "Princess, today is the day for the son to take a medicated bath." Brother Hao started taking a medicated bath when he was one and a half years old, twice a month, and has never stopped in this year .

Brother Hao trembled when he saw Master Yang, and quickly put his arms around Yuxi's shoulders and said, "Mother, I won't go." Brother Hao took a medicinal bath, and Master Yang would activate his meridians, which was very painful. So every time Brother Hao finished taking the medicated bath, Master Yang had to hug him out of the medicated bath.

Yuxi touched Brother Hao's forehead and said, "Hey, go with Master Yang, and your mother will pick you up later." Yuxi knew that Brother Hao's medicinal bath was different from hers, but even if she knew, she would Can't stop it. Master Yang said that taking this kind of medicated bath since childhood will bring great benefits to practicing martial arts in the future. For the sake of my son's future, no matter how distressed I am, I have to endure it. But seeing Brother Hao crying so sadly, Yu Xi's eyes were also red.

Meilan didn't know how to comfort Yuxi, so she said cautiously: "Princess, it's time to go to the front yard."

Yu Xi nodded and said: "Let's go!" Now she can't bear Brother Hao to suffer, and she will have to suffer more when she grows up. For Brother Hao, she can only be a cruel mother.
