Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy
Chapter 186: Selling Grain in Amon County, Yunzhou
Mi Yao talked for a few words with Xun and Old Madam Han, then said goodbye and left, saying that their children were at home.
In the imperial study, Emperor Xuanyuan Che of Dongqi was looking at the battle report, which said that the army had arrived at the border and had fought with Nanmao three times, all of which ended in draws, with casualties on both sides.
Xuanyuan Che had a gloomy face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Your Majesty, General Han Zhen requests to see you!" the old eunuch came in to report.
"Xuan!" Emperor Dongqi rubbed his eyebrows.
"Han Zhen greets Your Majesty!" Han Zhen came in and knelt on one knee.
"My dear Han, please stand up and take a seat!" Xuanyuan Che's voice was loud, but his emotions could not be heard clearly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Han Zhen came to the chair, lifted his robe and sat down.
"Your Majesty, I come here today to resign." Han Zhen went straight to the point.
"Oh?"
With just one word "oh", Han Zhen could already tell that the emperor was unhappy.
But now the arrow is on the string and it has to be shot.
"I have an old illness that tortures me every day. I am afraid that I will not be able to fight on the battlefield again in the future. Moreover, my wife is pregnant and misses her hometown especially recently. So I want to take her back and settle down there in the future." Han Zhen bowed.
Xuanyuan Che pondered for a moment and nodded, "I agree."
Han Zhen knelt down to express his gratitude.
Han Zhen left the palace and hurried back to the general's residence. He immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Prince Gong's residence.
Old Madam Han and Madam Han were both chatting with Xun. When they saw Han Zhen come back, they asked if everything was going well.
"The emperor has approved it, so we will set off tomorrow to avoid any further complications." Han Zhen said.
"Yes." Several people immediately returned to their own courtyards and took away everything they could, including gold, silver, jewelry, clothes, and quilts.
Madam Han also returned to the yard. She and her daughter had simple things and packed up quickly.
Han Zhen called the servants in his house together and said, "I have resigned from my post and will leave Beijing tomorrow. If you are willing to leave with me, please pack your things quickly. If you are not willing to leave with me, I will give you the indentures and pay you wages, and you can leave on your own."
There were less than ten people in General Han's mansion, and only three were willing to leave with Han Zhen. Han Zhen kept his word and sold the indentures to those people, paid them wages, and then left the mansion.
On the second day, Han Zhen and his party slowly left the capital in six carriages.
Mi Yao personally sent the person to Shili Changting and sent someone to escort him.
"My dear, you must protect yourself." Xun looked at Mi Yao, very worried. She already knew how unfavorable the current situation was for Prince Gong's Mansion.
"Mom, don't cry. You are still pregnant with your brother. It will be bad for your health if you cry. I will try my best to end everything in the capital as quickly as possible, so don't worry." Mi Yao comforted.
Milan held his son in his arms, and Daniu protected him beside him. This time they went back together.
Although the capital city is nice, it is not suitable for them. They have been in the capital city for almost a year, and they have been staying in Jingfeng Yaju all day long, eating and sleeping like useless people. So this time they asked to accompany their mother first.
In the afternoon, Liu Shu drove a carriage with Ao Lao, Zhan Ziyu and Zhan Zichen sitting in it. Ao's followers drove another carriage, carrying luggage, food, pots and pans and other daily necessities. The group went on a happy journey.
The assets of Prince Gong's Mansion had been almost transferred, and the children of the mansion had also left the capital one after another under various pretexts. Mi Yao had no more worries, so she left the capital under the cover of night.
The southern border of Dongqi is Amon County of Yunzhou. The three brothers of the Zhan family have been here for half a month and have fought with Nanmao several times, all of which ended in draws.
On this day, the Nanmao army launched another surprise attack, and Zhan Xiao took command of the troops to fight. Zhan Jian was worried about his third brother, so he accompanied him as the deputy commander.
Mi Yao sat in the jeep, flipping through a book on the complete guide to poison. Chunhua and Qiushi took turns driving, and she concentrated on studying the art of poison. Occasionally, she went into the space to look after her two younger sons. The little guys, who were almost three months old, were very easy to take care of. They would fall asleep after eating, and would not cry even if they woke up, waiting for their mother to come with peace of mind.
Three days later, the master and his servants arrived at Yunzhou. Mi Yao put away the jeep and replaced it with a horse carriage.
Yunzhou is the southern part of Dongqi. It rains a lot all year round and there are many mosquitoes. The master and his two servants were a little uncomfortable when they first arrived. Mi Mo prepared sachets to prevent mosquito bites and also treated the carriage, otherwise the bedding would be damp and uncomfortable to touch.
Two days later, the three finally arrived in Amon County. Most of the shops in the county were closed, and there were no pedestrians on the streets. The occasional passers-by were in a hurry.
"Open the door, open the door!" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door in the distance, mixed with the sound of shouting.
"General Zhan has ordered all grain merchants in Amon County to sell grain to us. The price is three levels higher than the market price. Please help us, fellow villagers." Several soldiers went to knock on the doors of several other grain shops, but no one opened the door for them.
Regardless of whether what they said was true or false, just looking at the current turbulent situation, who wouldn't want to have all the food in their own hands? We don't know when this war will end, and only with food in hand can we have confidence.
Several soldiers returned empty-handed, as there were orders from their superiors that merchants were free to trade and were not allowed to disturb the public or force purchases or sales. Therefore, since the merchants were not open, they did not dare to act rashly.
"What should we do? The army's food can only last for three days, but the food and fodder from the court has not arrived yet. What should we do?" said a soldier in frustration.
"Yes, if our firemen hadn't gone to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to fill our stomachs, we would have run out of food and fodder for the past three days."
"Who said it wasn't? It doesn't matter if we suffer a little, but if the army is not well fed, how can they have the strength to fight?"
"Don't lose heart, try another street," another soldier said with a sigh.
"Let's go!" Several people walked towards another street.
Mi Yao felt a little pain in his heart. Not only did the dog emperor force the three brothers of the Zhan family to go to the battlefield together, he even didn't even provide them with food and fodder. This was too much.
"Chunhua, quickly find an empty shop..." Mi Yao ordered.
"Yes, master." Chunhua flew away and came back soon.
"Master, there are a few empty shops in the back. They may have fled. We can use them."
"Okay." The carriage arrived at the shop Chunhua mentioned. All the shops on the entire street were closed, and this shop originally sold seeds, but now it was empty.
Chunhua forced the door open, and the three of them went in. Everything inside was gone, and Mi Yao had just put out the food.
Chunhua Qiushi already knew his master's secret, so he didn't doubt it at all.
Soon, the soldiers came to the street.
"I think we will return empty-handed today."
"The emperor doesn't take his soldiers seriously. What's the point of us soldiers being anxious?"
"Hey, look, there's a shop open over there."
A few people looked over and saw Mi Yao and others busy at work.
"Excuse me, shopkeeper, is this food?" The soldier clasped his fists.
"Yes, you want to buy it?" Chunhua asked.
"Yes, yes, we will buy it. I will buy all the food you have." The soldier was very happy.
"Several million pounds!" Chunhua smiled.
