A female military doctor traveled through time and was forced to love by a cruel prince
Chapter 278 I Will Not Surrender Military Power
Xiao Yuehan continued: "Now all the villagers within dozens of miles know that the princess has disappeared with a little boy.
This is not a good thing. I am more worried about the princess's safety.
I’m so afraid that some bad guys will take the opportunity to threaten the princess and her son.
Therefore, we still have to intensify our efforts to find it.”
Zi Sangyu turned to look at Xiao Yuehan and said, "I have sent out a lot of secret guards. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be news in the near future."
……
In the next few days, Xiao Yuehan took Yechun, Yexia and Li'er to wander around the market.
What they were particularly concerned about was the price of grain.
In order not to attract other people's attention, she and Li'er would always buy some powder and rouge and carry them in their hands.
It feels like just ordinary shopping.
That day, Xiao Yuehan and his group were passing by a medium-sized grain store.
People coming in and out were either carrying bags to buy food, or the shop assistants were constantly unloading food from the carriage at the back door.
She was very puzzled because she had never seen such a phenomenon in other stores.
So she went up to a worker who had just taken off a bag of rice from his shoulder and asked, "Excuse me, why is your store so busy today?"
The worker took a look at her and saw that she was not dressed like an ordinary person, so he said, "If your family still has some spare money, you'd better stock up on some food."
"Why? It's a good harvest year, why do we need to hoard food?"
The worker looked around and said, "A good harvest? Humph, you won't be wrong if you listen to me."
Then he whispered, “These people who buy grain are my old customers, and my master has connections in the palace.
It was he who revealed the news to my master, saying that the price of grain would soar to the sky in the near future."
Xiao Yuehan was silent for a moment and said, "I see that there is no movement in other grain stores."
The young worker whispered, "They are just not well-informed. Just wait and see. In a few days, there will still be rice for sale in this city. That would be really strange."
Xiao Yuehan and his group continued to stroll slowly on the street, but they would stop at a rice shop whenever they came across one.
Just as the worker said, these rice shops were not as busy as that rice shop in terms of purchasing and transporting grain.
Just like in the past, buy what you should buy, and look and ask about what you shouldn’t buy.
Back at the Zhan Palace, she said to Zi Sangyu, “At present, I see that grain prices are stable, the supply is sufficient, and there is no panic buying or grain merchants hoarding grain.
But there is still one company that is different from the others, and I also want to start stockpiling food on a large scale starting today.
But I am afraid of causing panic in the market, which would be bad.
Just think about it, if Princess Nan buys food on a large scale in the market, what will the people think?
We have no choice but to follow suit, otherwise the originally stable market will collapse.
But I really want to stock up on some food, just in case of a disaster."
Her bright eyes flashed with a hint of confusion at this moment.
Zi Sangyu pondered and said, "My princess, is there also a time when you feel confused?
So what? We can just stock up privately and not cause panic in the market."
"How can you hoard it privately?" Xiao Yuehan didn't quite understand.
"I summoned the head of the ten-mile long street in Chang'an and told him that I wanted to stockpile military rations. It was that simple.
My wife, how worried you are!
"But there is no war now." Xiao Yuehan fluttered her long eyelashes.
Zi Sangyu looked at Xiao Yuehan, who was stained with a layer of orange light under the setting sun. At this moment, she was like a little baby, looking at him with her almond-shaped eyes wide open.
His heart couldn't help but move, and he immediately embraced the petite body in his arms.
He kissed her raised forehead with his lips and said, “My wife, when there is no war, it is a good time to store military rations.
Therefore, no one will say anything, and it will not cause panic in the market.
All year round, grain stores and civilians thought it was normal to store military rations at any time.
Hey~ Didn’t you say that if we purchase the grain and it’s not a disaster year, what should we do with the grain?
Then I remembered that we were making military rations. The army consumes a lot of food every day. Isn't this a win-win situation?
I'll let Yechun and the others go with you. The rice merchants and the village chiefs all know Yechun, so isn't that enough?"
When Xiao Yuehan heard him say this, he also became excited.
These days, she has been worrying a lot about whether she should stock up on food.
Now it’s all solved.
She winked at Zi Sangyu mischievously, reached out and touched the dimples on his face that appeared and disappeared, and smiled:
"You are really my good husband and my strong support. I still say that no matter what happens to you, it is not a big deal."
Zi Sangyu tightened his arms and pressed her face against his chest: "So, I still say the same thing, if there is anything, don't keep it in your heart and think about it.
Just tell your husband, got it?"
Zi Sangyu hugged Xiao Yuehan tightly, staring at the shadow outside the window with a gloomy expression:
"Today, during the court session, a minister suggested that the emperor hand over my million-strong army in Yunnan City and on the border to Sixteen.
Because Sixteen had been in Dian City, repeatedly annihilating those small groups of invading border bandits and making great military achievements.
Therefore, those ministers said that the power to defend this border city should be returned to the hands of the prince.
I think this must not be the intention of the ministers, it must have been arranged by the emperor in private, and he just brought it up during the court meeting."
"What did the Emperor say?"
"The emperor was a little pretentious. He said to me in front of all the civil and military officials, "It depends on what the Southern Prince thinks." It depends on what I think.
What I mean is that whether I hand it over or not is entirely up to me.
If I am unwilling to hand it over to Sixteen, it might give the civil and military officials the impression that I have bad intentions.
But, to be honest, I would not be willing to hand it over immediately.
That is the army that has followed me for more than ten years and is invincible in every battle.
I train them in every possible way so that they can follow me and do great things.
Every soldier and general knows that this country originally belongs to me.
Everyone is ready for the day when I will take back the country.
Tell me, how can I hand over such a large army to Sixteen?
Therefore, I will not be influenced by them, nor will I care what the emperor thinks, let alone what those ministers think.
I directly refused at the court meeting. The reason was very simple. How could Sixteen command my million-strong army?
One sentence left them speechless.
So, I have to thank you. I really need to stock up some food to prepare for my future. I will also send a message to Dian City, asking them to stock up on food as well.
It seems that the emperor can no longer hold back. This is fine. I don’t want to continue wasting time with him.”
