Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system
Chapter 93 Past
Sheng Changan looked over in confusion, a little surprised, "So fast?"
"Sir, after the salaries of the past few months have been distributed, there isn't much left. It might be difficult to support a caravan. Now that everyone has enough food, we want to stock up on some silver."
"So, for now, the county has no shortage of food, but it's running out of money."
He went to take a look specially. If it weren't for the recent launch of new agricultural tools by the adults, which made some money out of them, the county government would have only been spending money and not making any money.
With this calculation, twenty taels of gold and so many people seemed to be insufficient. Now that they had enough food, these people would naturally want to make money.
If they were to be sold, the things in Guangping County would be too conspicuous to be sold. He possessed a treasure, but lacked the necessary strength, so he could not publicize it at present.
Thinking of this, Sheng Changan felt a little headache. Besides, she still had to pay them salaries later. She only gave a small portion of the salary to people like Lin Chuan.
There was no other way. If she gave them all, her small treasury wouldn't be enough. She had wanted to give some rewards to the soldiers who performed well this time, but now it seemed that it was not going to work.
She couldn't just go out and sell sweet potatoes! Besides the yield, there wouldn't be any discoveries. But if she used this to make money, how long would she have enough money to buy what she wanted?
"Sir, don't we still have hostages?" Lin Chuan said with a malicious smile on his face. "I wonder how much this princess is worth?"
County Magistrate Wu obviously also thought of something, "But I have to ask Mr. Du if there is any medicine that can make her lose her memory." According to the princess's character, once the tiger is released back into the mountains, she will definitely turn around and take a bite.
"I asked." Lin Chuan shook the medicine bottle in his hand. Since he raised this question, there must be a solution.
Sheng Changan touched her chin and asked, "This medicine doesn't have any side effects, right?" She actually didn't quite believe that Lin Chuan would let her go so easily.
And she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the princess must have offended him. However, she was a forgetful person and probably had forgotten it. But Lin Chuan's memory was obviously very good.
Lin Chuan didn't hide anything and said directly: "There is indeed a problem. Although I don't remember what happened during this period, my memory will deteriorate more and more."
In other words, the longer they took the medicine, the more they would become like a child, and eventually they would be unable to take care of themselves. Such people were practically useless in the palace.
"Has she offended you?" Sheng Changan asked. She was well aware of Lin Chuan's vindictiveness.
As soon as these words were spoken, County Magistrate Wu fell silent. It was obvious that he knew the answer, but he didn't expect that Lin Chuan, who was so young, could already remember things.
Lin Chuan smiled, his tone tinged with hatred, "Yes, there is a grudge, but she is not the only one I have."
Sheng Changan nodded in understanding. It seemed that everyone around her had a story, and the ending of that story was not very good.
Lin Chuan didn't intend to say anything, and she didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.
However... she originally wanted to use the name of Xianbei, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not safe. If there really were Xianbei undercover agents in the court, they would be putting her handle in their hands.
"Sir, why don't you leave this matter to me? I will definitely live up to your expectations." Lin Chuan suggested.
Sheng Changan originally wanted to let Lin Chuan take charge of this matter, but when he thought about his own speculation, he was still a little hesitant and could only tell him his speculation.
But the two were not surprised at all. County Magistrate Wu stroked his beard and said, "Sir, the only people who can propose to use the people to support foreign enemies are the Xianbei, except for the real fools."
"But this person is very trusted by the emperor. It is useless for us to just speculate without any evidence."
So many of them were searching, but no one had ever found him. Instead, they were dying one after another, or being exiled. Perhaps it was God's will that the Jing Dynasty would be destroyed.
"Since you have some guesses, then Lin Chuan will be responsible for this matter. However, this place is so far away from the palace, knocking..." Sheng Changan paused and continued, "It should be difficult to send someone there."
"Don't worry, sir. As far as I know, they should have people in Shanglian (the provincial capital). We just need to pass the news over." He has done a lot of research on the distribution of their forces.
Shanglian? Sheng Changan dug around in her head and seemed to have some impression of this place. Her leader seemed to be here.
It was a relatively prosperous place, and also a place with a relatively strong military force. The soldiers here were not useless. After all, as the seat of a prefect, how could the defense be weak?
However, many wealthy families moved here. With the prefect around, they were naturally more secure, and they also needed to hand over some of their property before they could move there. For example, some ordinary wealthy families could only go to Shangyu.
It is said that the original owner passed by there when he took office, but he did not stay there for long. The consumption was too high and the original owner could not afford it with his funds.
So at that time, they could only find a deserted temple where they could stay for one night.
Sheng Changan's nose moved, it smelled so good. "Is today a good day?"
Shen Pingyang walked in with a hearty smile. "Today is the day we beat the Xianbei to a pulp, and many people are celebrating."
"Sir," Zheng Jun also walked in with a smile, "We have prepared a lot of delicious dishes. Why don't you all take your seats first?"
Sheng Changan suddenly realized that such a day was indeed worth celebrating. This should be considered a milestone victory for Guangping County. It was only after so many years of suppression that this happened.
This was something she had overlooked. Sheng Changan stood up and said, "It's indeed worth celebrating. When will the others come?"
Shen Pingyang smiled and said, "Huaizhi and the others are going to celebrate in the military camp. We are the only ones here today. That old fellow Du Zhong has already gone."
A smile gradually appeared on Sheng Changan's face, and she felt a little excited in her heart. Her nerves had been tense since she came here, and she had almost no time to rest.
Don’t think about system rewards now, it will affect your mood.
She walked to the dining area with ease. Today's dinner was indeed sumptuous, with at least three or four meat dishes.
Although every household has started to raise some livestock, most of them have not yet grown up. She can only eat a meal every three or five days. Now this is considered a rare feast.
