[One hundred thousand taels of silver! Ah, my heart aches so much that I can't even breathe.]

It's impossible to say that I don't feel heartbroken. Even now, when Song Yunxi thinks about it, she still feels pain.

The Jin'an Dynasty bordered Nanyue, Beichu, and Xidi, so the investment in military supplies was also very large.

She remembered it very clearly. At this time in her previous life, a sudden frost hit the country of Northern Chu, but the soldiers at the border had no winter clothes to keep warm.

General Zhenyuan asked the court for help many times, but the court treasury could not provide any extra silver. In addition, the Sixth Prince's faction headed by Duke Wen of the court opposed supplying the border, which directly led to many soldiers being frozen to death.

In addition, the people had no harvest, and at this time in the previous life, the border of Northern Chu was truly filled with starving people.

Since she remembers it, she can't pretend she knows nothing.

One hundred thousand taels of silver was indeed too little, but at least it could solve their immediate problem and allow them to hold out until the military pay and food prepared by the court arrived.

Song Yunxi thought of the two things she got from Song Shaozhang's study... It was not appropriate to take them out now. She could only take them out when she was sure which prince to support to ascend the throne and was sure that the other party was truly a wise ruler.

She looked calm and composed on the outside, but in her heart she was crying out in pain, which made Ye Xuanqi laugh.

Although she was so reluctant to give up her wealth, she still sent it to the border. This made him respect her even more.

Song Yunxi took out the things from the wooden box one by one, and her expressionless face turned into a warm and bright smile.

"Qinghe!"

Song Yunxi asked her to take the dried vegetables and meat to the kitchen: "Tell the kitchen to just make these today, no need to make anything else."

"Take these herbs to the pharmacy. I will sort and store them myself later."

Then he gave two pieces of cotton cloth to Sizhu: "Let Xiuniang make some inner clothes for me... and for Master and my brothers. Cotton cloth is the most comfortable to wear."

Although I already knew that she would not despise these wild things, my heart was still moved to tears when I saw that she cherished them so much.

After explaining everything, Song Yunxi turned around and said to Ye Xuanqi with a smile: "You can also have dinner here today and try something new."

"it is good."

Of course he wouldn't refuse.

She hummed a tune he had never heard before and looked forward to it happily, which made Ye Xuanqi's mood improve.

“Those dried wild vegetables may not look good, but they actually taste very delicious.”

As if fearing that she wouldn't be able to get used to the food or wouldn't dare to try it, Ye Xuanqi prepared her mentally in advance.

Song Yunxi blurted out: "I know!"

I am looking forward to it because I know it!

"You know? Have you eaten it?"

As far as he knew, she was even more pampered in Shengyun Mountain than in the capital. How could she have eaten these things?

Song Yunxi wanted to bite off her tongue. Why didn't she use her brain?

[I can't tell you that these things saved my life time and time again when I was starving to death in my previous life! ]

So I could only make up a story: "I was naughty in the past and secretly followed my nurse down the mountain to her home and ate it."

Well, impeccable.

Although Ye Xuanqi showed no doubt at all, he felt pain in his heart.

What did she experience in the previous life in her heart?

Ye Xuanqi lowered his eyes with murderous intent. If he knew who made her suffer, he would tear that person into pieces!

After the two of them had lunch together, Song Yunxi was about to order them to leave and go back to their room to sleep when her secret guard's bloody shadow appeared in the yard.

Song Yunxi's satisfied expression disappeared: "What happened?"

Xueying said solemnly, "My dear Miss, all the grain shops in our capital have been closed down, and Manager Yu has also been taken away."

Sure enough, it came!

She vaguely felt that from the moment the grain and money collection was proposed, it seemed to be aimed at the Jiang family in Jiangnan. Although there was no evidence, she just had such a strong premonition.

Now this speculation has been confirmed.

Song Yunxi was extremely calm: "What's going on? Please explain clearly."

The grain will be escorted to the border tomorrow. Today, the Minister of Revenue Zhao Cheng'an went to the granary to check in person and found that part of the grain donated by the Jiang family grain store was inferior, and a large part of it was actually wheat bran.

Li Cheng'an immediately ordered his men to seal up the grain shop and arrest Manager Yu and put him in jail.

Blood Shadow continued: "Minister Zhao said that if the head of the Jiang family refuses to show up, the steward will be executed immediately tomorrow and all of the Jiang family's businesses in the capital will be closed down."

Song Yunxi sneered, her eyes full of frost: "He said to confer a title, so he conferred it. Does he really think he is the emperor?"

She always spoke without restraint, and Ye Xuanqi was used to it.

"I will go to the palace to see my father and report the matter to him."

Song Yunxi's voice was filled with cold murderous intent: "Don't they want to see the head of the Jiang family? I will let them see him today!"

"Qinghe, call Wang Yuan over!"

An hour later, Song Yunxi and Ye Xuanqi, both of whom had hideous scars on their faces and looked ugly, appeared in the palace together.

Ye Xuanqi still couldn't get used to her like this: "I didn't expect that you have such a capable person by your side."

He couldn't help but think of the first time he saw her in the palace. She also changed her appearance and followed Jiang Yanting.

This also further confirmed his original guess that there was no such thing as Huicheng, a so-called enlightened monk, in this world.

Huicheng should be the person disguised as Wang Yuan.

A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he seemed to understand what she was going to do.

Chongzheng Hall.

Emperor Qinglong was really annoyed by Zhao Cheng'an's passionate chatter. Why didn't he realize that his ministers were so hypocritical?

He didn't want to listen, but he had to.

Where's that stinky girl? Why hasn't she entered the palace yet?

"Your Majesty, the Jiang family is rich but unkind. They dared to disregard the country and commit such a crime of deceiving the emperor. We must confiscate their property and exile them in order to give an explanation to the soldiers at the border."

Emperor Qinglong's thoughts were brought back. Looking at Zhao Chengan, who was filled with indignation, Emperor Qinglong really wanted to spit in his face -

Are you worthy of being called loyal? Are you worthy of giving instructions to the soldiers at the border? Don't disgust them!

Seeing that the emperor was silent for a long time with a gloomy face, Zhao Chengan thought he was just very angry, so he continued: "The emperor should immediately issue an order to confiscate all the businesses of the Jiang family in the capital, and execute the Jiang family steward to serve as a warning to others!"

Shen Qiaoping, who had been silent the whole time, also echoed: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao is right. The Jiang family is so disrespectful to the monarch, just relying on their wealth that rivals that of a country. Your Majesty should immediately order the confiscation of the Jiang family and the transfer of funds to the national treasury."

Thinking he knew Emperor Qinglong, Shen Qiaoping saw him narrow his eyes slightly, thinking that he was moved by what he said, and he went straight to Emperor Qinglong's heart again: "Your Majesty, the Jiang family's actions are not only unkind and rich, but also clearly rebellious. Their wealth is enough to stir up trouble and put the court into a crisis of turmoil."

Emperor Qinglong did not comment, and looked at Ye Xuanrong who was standing quietly beside him: "Sixth Brother, what do you think about this matter?"
