Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

On the second day, everyone in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion got up early as they planned to leave the capital today.

Yun Qingqing, who liked to sleep in, also got up. She first put all the furniture that the emperor had bought for their Duke of Huguo's Mansion into the space, and then went to find Marshal Yun to ask him to take out some money from the space as pensions to the surviving families of the 20,000 dead Yun family soldiers.

Those dead soldiers died defending their country, and their families must have a better life in the future.

"Abao." She had just walked into the corridor when she heard her grandfather's voice behind her. She quickly turned around and saw her grandfather. She quickly walked over and called out sweetly, "Grandpa."

Marshal Yun responded with a smile and reached out to tidy up her hair that was messed up by the morning breeze.

"Abao, grandpa wants to discuss something with you." Marshal Yun said.

"Grandfather, what do you want to discuss with me?" Yun Qingqing asked curiously.

"Come on, Po, let's go sit in the pavilion over there and talk."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingqing nodded obediently and walked with her grandfather towards the pavilion not far away.

In the pavilion, the two of them slowly sat down.

"Grandfather, what do you want to discuss with me?" Yun Qingqing asked Marshal Yun.

Marshal Yun asked her tentatively, "A Bao, could you please take out all the money you collected from the treasury of the Duke of the State's Mansion from your Qiankun bag? I want to distribute all the money of the Duke of the State's Mansion to the families of the 20,000 Yun family soldiers who died?"

Yun Qingqing agreed without hesitation. "Of course, Grandfather. I just came to you to discuss this matter. Those 20,000 soldiers died defending their country. Their families deserve to have a comfortable life for the rest of their lives."

After saying that, Yun Qingqing thought for a moment and then said, "We don't have much money in the treasury of the Duke of the Protectorate. After distributing 20,000 soldiers, each soldier's family will probably only have a few dozen taels, which can only support their lives for a year. I plan to take out one million taels from the treasury of the corrupt officials and distribute 10,000 taels to each family."

Marshal Yun smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this. "Okay, Abao, your idea is great. Grandfather supports you. But don't give me silver. Give me banknotes instead. It's more convenient."

"Okay." Yun Qingqing nodded.

"Come on, Po, let's go to the study."

Yun Qingqing nodded obediently and followed Marshal Yun to the study.

When they arrived at the study, Yun Qingqing took out two million taels of silver notes from the space.

Marshal Yun asked his servants to call Gu Wu, Zhang Zheng, Zhao Zhong and Chen Chuan, four people he trusted and who were very reliable, to come to the study.

These four people are not greedy for money and are upright. They are loyal to the Duke of Protectorate. They are the kind of people who would rather die than betray the Duke of Protectorate.

After Gu Wu and the other three arrived at the study, they first greeted Marshal Yun and Yun Qingqing, and then asked Marshal Yun in unison, "Marshal, what instructions did you call us here for?"

"I have an important matter for you to do." Marshal Yun said.

"Marshal, do you have anything important for us to do? Just tell us." The four of them said in unison.

Marshal Yun pointed to the two million taels of silver notes wrapped in oil paper and said solemnly, "Here are two million taels of silver notes. You should arrange for reliable people to distribute them to the families of the 20,000 soldiers who died in the Valley of Fallen Souls. Each family member will receive 10,000 taels."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wu and the other three nodded and said in unison, "Yes, Marshal."

Marshal Yun continued, "This matter must be carried out in secret and must not be made public to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

"Yes, Marshal." The four answered in unison, saying in unison, "We will definitely complete the tasks assigned by the Marshal."

Marshal Yun nodded in satisfaction and said, "I believe you will handle this matter well."

Upon hearing this, the four of them all thought in their hearts: The Marshal trusts them so much, they must do this well and not make any mistakes.

After giving instructions to the four people, Marshal Yun asked them to leave with two million taels of silver notes.

After lunch, everyone from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion boarded a carriage and left the capital, heading to Dashan Village in Bingzhou to meet up with Old Madam Yun and the others.
