Chapter 35 New Conspiracy
In his previous life, one of the most important reasons why Wen Yiheng was able to ascend to the throne was the strong support of his grandfather. My father appreciated him at the beginning, and my grandfather also thought that Luo Wenqian was a good person. So he also supported Wen Yiheng.
Wen Yiheng was complacent, thinking that his talent was noticed. Now Wen Yiheng has lost the most important part of his support. Let's see what to do in the future.
I exchanged pleasantries with my grandfather for a while, and then we went to see the soldiers we still had. The soldiers we had were not very strong. Because of their size difference with the wool tribe, we did not have any advantage.
Although there are more people on the other side, they are stronger than us. We don't have any advantages at all. Many of them are still injured, so naturally their fighting power is greatly weakened.
I gave some of the herbs I bought in Yecheng to those who were more seriously injured. Looking at the bloody wounds on their bodies, I felt really sad.
Some people risk their lives to defend the country, while others have affairs with others for power. It is really ridiculous.
Wen Yichen and I also distributed medicinal herbs to the wounded soldiers. Wen Yichen couldn't help but be moved when he saw the wounds.
We didn't have much medicine, and there were too many sick soldiers here. I went back to the tent and discussed it with my grandfather.
After returning to the tent, my grandfather saw that I was in a state of panic. He knew that I was frightened by the scenes. My grandfather comforted me and said, "Qingqing, don't be too sad. At least those people are still alive. Being alive is the best, isn't it? Although those injuries are scary, they will heal after some rest."
I continued with a sigh and said, "They have too few medicinal herbs, Grandfather, let's send someone to buy more herbs."
At this time, my grandfather also said with a hurt face: "We don't have much military pay left. We don't know how long this war will last. The court also doesn't know how long it will take to transport food and grass to us. So I think I can save as much as possible."
At this time, Wen Yichen frowned and asked: "Why do you say that the court doesn't know how long it will take to transport the food and grass? Isn't there an old saying that food and grass should be sent before troops arrive? The court also provides them on time, right?"
Grandfather patted Wen Yichen on the shoulder and said, "The court gave us money. But after corruption, not much was left in our hands. They even lied that we had received the military pay. Sometimes they even said that we ourselves had embezzled the military pay. How could these people in high positions know?"
Wen Yichen asked doubtfully: "Then why don't you report it?"
My grandfather smiled bitterly and said, "Nowadays, many officials are in collusion. If we report it, many people will be punished if it is found out. Those people will naturally forge evidence and say that we did it. I have reported it before, but it was useless!"
Wen Yichen was really a little depressed now. He didn't expect that now was the time when the whole country was resisting foreign enemies, but there were still people who embezzled the military pay.
Seeing that Grandfather and Wen Yichen looked unhappy, I immediately said, "Grandfather, don't be afraid. I have banknotes. When I came here, I expected that I would need to spend money here. So I sold all the valuable things in my house and exchanged them for some banknotes. We can use the money to buy medicinal herbs."
My grandfather hugged me tightly and said, "Good boy! You are worthy of being a descendant of the Wang family. You are a family of loyal heroes. I am proud of you."
After saying this, my grandfather lowered his head in guilt. I understood what he meant and comforted him: "To me, those things are just my possessions. If you need them, wouldn't it be better to exchange them for banknotes?"
My grandfather also exchanged some of the things in the house for silver notes, but he didn't take them out now, thinking that he would take them out when there was no more military pay.
Grandfather scratched my nose and said, "My granddaughter is also a little girl. How could a little girl not like those beautiful hairpins? It's unfair for you to be born in such a family. The hairpins you want have been exchanged for silver notes."
I shook my head and said, "Grandfather, I don't feel wronged to be born in such a family. Instead, I feel proud. And I'm already doing well! There are many people who are not as well off as I am. I enjoy the support of the people. Now that the people need me, I should also come out and contribute."
Grandfather laughed and said nothing more. The arrival of Wen Yichen and I had already caused quite a stir in the military camp.
On the second day, during morning exercises, my grandfather gathered everyone together and said, "Today, our Third Prince and the Lucky Star of Dayun Dynasty have taken out their own banknotes to buy some medicinal herbs for everyone's injuries. Everyone, please tell everyone about your injuries and tell everyone in charge. We will go to buy them this afternoon. Let everyone's injuries heal as soon as possible."
The soldiers were immediately excited when they heard this. They didn't expect that Huang Jia and Fuxing would come. They didn't expect that he was still thinking about them. For a while, Wen Yichen and I were loved by everyone in the army.
Wen Yichen and I counted the condition of everyone's injuries and immediately went to Yecheng to buy medicine. Not only Yecheng, but also several surrounding cities went.
Wen Yichen also took out his own banknotes. We have a lot of banknotes in our hands. Enough to buy out a lot of medicinal herbs nearby.
That afternoon, Wen Yichen took people to buy. Wen Yichen asked to go on his own initiative, as he was familiar with the environment and there were people taking care of him in Yecheng, so it was naturally good.
I stayed in the army and trained with everyone. Everyone knew I was a girl, so they gave me some concessions. Some people even asked curiously, "Miss Luo, why do you want to dress up as a man?"
I smiled and said: "It will be more convenient to kill the enemy this way!"
Everyone laughed. I didn't expect that I was so straightforward. No one treated me as a special person. I liked it better. The best feeling in the military camp is to feel like a family.
After dinner, everyone usually has nothing to do. Given the current conditions, everyone can only live in tents. Everyone is also on guard against the attacks of the wool tribe at all times. There are usually four to six people sleeping in a tent, and some people will guard the first half of the night and some will guard the second half of the night.
Although no one from the Rong tribe has come recently, they dare not take it lightly.
I slept alone in the tent, but my grandfather and Luo Chen and others lived very close to me in the tent.
After dinner, I would lie on the grass and look at the densely packed stars in the sky. At that moment, the ground was my bed and the sky was my blanket, and I felt extremely comfortable.
Luo Chen would also lie beside me at this time and say: "Sister, do you really not regret coming here?"
I immediately sat up and asked, "Why do you regret it? Do you regret it?"
Luo Chen shook his head and said in silence: "The climate here is bad. I have lost a lot of weight since I came here. Winter has not come yet. What if winter comes? What if you get frozen? How will I explain to my mother? Besides, your skin is not as good as before because of the wind."
The conditions here are just like that. I pretended to be angry and said, "What's the matter? Does it mean that she is not your sister just because her skin is bad?"
Luo Chen immediately came over to comfort her: "How could that be? You are my sister no matter what you look like!"
I immediately smiled and said, "My skin is not good, but I have gained my heart. This is the place I long for in my heart. Now that I am here, I regret it! I regret not coming here earlier!"
Luo Chen laughed out loud lying next to me. I wrote to Xiao Tao the next day and asked her to go find Wen Yichen and buy some more winter clothes. It's already very cold here before winter.
If we don't have enough food to survive the winter, we may lose one-third of our troops! Maybe they don't attack recently because they want to wait until winter to let God punish us!
Wen Yichen went to Yecheng or a nearby town to buy medicinal herbs. His whereabouts were uncertain. If I wrote to him, he might not be able to receive it. Writing to Xiaotao was the safest and most effective way.
There would be a fixed postman in the military camp to deliver letters, sometimes to help soldiers deliver their letters, sometimes to the emperor. So the postman would always go out to deliver letters at a fixed time.
Medicinal herbs are easy to buy and you can buy them anywhere. Wen Yichen went to the medicine shop in Yecheng to buy the herbs he needed. At first, he asked for a large quantity and everyone was a little afraid to buy.
Located at the border, there are wars all year round. If people from the Rong tribe come to buy them, then these medicinal herbs will be like a sword stabbing at the Dayun Dynasty, right?
Chen Yun was the one who suffered the loss. Chen Yun's medical skills were relatively high in the local area, and he had many apprentices who came to learn from him. Many of the apprentices who returned from their studies opened some medicine shops because their families had some money. They were willing to sell to Wen Yichen for Chen Yun's sake.
As for other small counties, Wen Yichen was not in a position to buy them, so he asked Li Wenxian to buy them.
Li Wenxian was also very loyal. He used his status as the richest man in Yecheng to collect medicinal herbs from surrounding cities. Everyone thought that the richest man was going to do the medicinal herbs business. Those who wanted to make a fortune sent medicinal herbs here.
Xiao Tao also received the letter. When Wen Yichen went to see Xiao Tao and the others, he handed him the letter I wrote. He understood what I meant after reading it. But there weren't many banknotes left.
Wen Yichen thought about exchanging all the silver notes in his hand for quilts first, and then find a way to get more silver notes and buy more.
When Wen Yichen went to various shops to buy quilts, everyone said they were sold out. Wen Yichen thought that in this bitter cold place, it was normal for people to stock up on quilts.
But when he went to every store in Yecheng and found that there were no quilts for sale, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
Wen Yichen felt regretful. He should have bought some quilts earlier to keep everyone warm.
Wen Yichen immediately went to Li Wenxian to find out the situation. Li Wenxian went to the cloth shop to ask, but the owner just sighed and said, "All these quilts were reserved by others half a month ago."
When Li Wenxian and Wen Yichen heard the news, they frowned and asked at the same time: "Do you remember what that person looks like?"
The characteristics mentioned by the owners of different cloths are different. It seems that the people who buy these quilts are also very secretive, knowing to let different people buy them so as not to be discovered.
Wen Yichen sighed and asked Li Wenxian to help him check the surrounding counties to see if there was any cotton wool left.
Li Wenxian immediately sent his bodyguard to check, and found that it had also been bought by someone else.
What is there to understand about the current strategy? This is to completely want them to freeze to death in the winter. The border is bitterly cold, but it is also a place where cotton is produced a lot.
The cotton here is of good quality and low price. In the early years, the shops here needed to sell it at a low price. But now, unexpectedly, it has been sold out. Although the owners of various shops said that it was bought by people from Dayun Dynasty.
Wen Yichen could guess that these quilts must have been bought for the Velvet Tribe. Although the Velvet Tribe was quite cold-resistant, they still needed to keep warm. They had lived in this area for hundreds of years, so how could they not know that the winter weather was too challenging?
Buying quilts early is not only cheaper at this time, but also can let the soldiers of the Rong tribe know that they are also valued. At the same time, the soldiers of the Dayun Dynasty cannot withstand the severe cold. If they are not warm enough in winter, they will inevitably die.
No wonder they are not in a hurry to buy medicinal herbs. After all, there is no war, so where would the casualties come from?
In order to prepare for emergencies, Wen Yichen immediately went to various pharmacies to buy all the frostbite medicine. He bought it once, and he paid a lot of money. Everyone knew Wen Yichen, so naturally many people were willing to sell him frostbite medicine.
After Wen Yichen finished buying, he found that the weight of the herbs exceeded their estimate. If he wanted to transport them back, it might be difficult. He was also afraid that the people of the Rong tribe would ambush him along the way.
