On the way back, Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan were riding side by side. Song Jiuyuan explained softly:
“Actually, there is not much food left in the treasury of Fucheng. After all, last year was a year of famine.
I have reported this earlier, but with the emperor's attitude towards me, it must not be so easy to get food. "
"Even if you are given military pay, the Dog Emperor will find ways to deduct it.
Not to mention that during these thousands of miles, I don’t know how many layers have been searched. "
What Jiang Wan said was the truth, but it made Song Jiuyuan frown.
"I'm sorry, Wanwan."
Song Jiuyuan felt a little guilty, "I disposed of a lot of the betrothal gift I promised you before and bought food.
Fortunately, you are willing to do business with me, otherwise I would really not be able to support such a large army of soldiers in the city. "
"I don't mind."
Jiang Wan was riding a horse, thinking of the soldiers under Song Jiuyuan, and suddenly said:
"Song Jiuyuan, have you ever thought about letting the soldiers grow their own food?"
"What?"
Song Jiuyuan was stunned, and his hand holding the reins tightened slightly, "Actually, it's not that I haven't thought about it.
My father also tried it in his early years, but the grain yield was too low.
It also delayed the training of the soldiers, and then nothing happened. "
"I can give you high-yield food seeds."
Jiang Wan remembered the map of Jiuzhou that she had seen before, "I remember that there was a wild land in the valley to the west.
That large piece of land is useless to the imperial court, so we will open it up. "
"But the land over there..."
Song Jiuyuan was a little hesitant, but when he looked back, he met Jiang Wan's serious eyes.
"Song Jiuyuan, do you believe me?"
"letter!"
Song Jiuyuan gritted his teeth, "I believe everything you say, and I will wait until this war is over.
I will send someone to go with you to open up the land there, but they must be disguised so that the court cannot discover it. "
"I see."
It felt good to be trusted. Jiang Wan smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Song Jiuyuan, am I deceiving the public with my lies?"
"It doesn't count."
The corners of Song Jiuyuan's mouth raised slightly, and he suddenly thought of Ouyang Lie.
"Wanwan, the truth pill you gave me is very useful, but it's a pity that the eldest prince is so scheming.
Since he let General Ouyang come over, he didn't leave him any useful information. "
"It doesn't matter. I have food in my hand, so don't panic about anything."
Having arrived at the camp, Jiang Wan jumped off the horse and said, "Tomorrow I will go into the city to contact another group of people.
As long as you need it, food will be delivered quickly. "
"We can't take the food you gave us in vain. I will convert it into silver and give it to you later."
Song Jiuyuan was moved in his heart, but he could understand it, but Jiang Wan refused.
"Song Jiuyuan, just think of it as my donation to the soldiers. They take the lead. This is what I should do."
She does love money, but she also gets it wisely.
What's more, most of these grains are Jiang Wan's ill-gotten gains.
Song Jiuyuan wanted to say something more, but a carriage came not far away.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan followed the sound and saw Yinquan taking Sheng Yi out of the carriage and placing him in a wheelchair.
Soon, another familiar figure jumped out of the carriage, it was Poria.
"Little uncle."
She ran towards Jiang Wan with a face full of joy, and Jiang Wan was quite surprised.
"Fu Ling, why are you here?"
"What my junior uncle can do, I can do too."
Fu Ling's cold eyes fell on the camp not far away, "Master said that you can learn a lot from following my uncle.
I also want to help these injured soldiers, can you? "
"sure."
Jiang Wan responded on behalf of Song Jiuyuan. She stepped forward and hugged Fuling, "Fu Ling, good job!"
Poria seems to have completely separated from the original plot, and is no longer the female supporting character who only cares about the sixth prince.
She became more alive.
And Yinquan gradually pushed Sheng Yi in front of them, and Sheng Yi looked much better.
Jiang Wan could tell at a glance that the knot in his heart had healed, and he must have no more phantom limb pain in his legs and feet.
He looked at Song Jiuyuan with burning eyes, "My lord, is there anything you can do for me?"
"Welcome."
Song Jiuyuan stepped forward and patted Sheng Yi on the shoulder, with a smile on his face.
"Recovering well."
"Thank you too, Princess."
Sheng Yi looked at Jiang Wan with gratitude in his eyes, and Jiang Wan smiled.
"It's all up to you."
Sheng Yi stayed and became a military advisor, while Fu Ling followed the military doctors around.
Jiang Wan was thinking about getting a load of food the next day. She would have to go out and show off.
General Ouyang was a loyal man. Song Jiuyuan was still thinking about how to deal with him, so the Northern Dynasty sent an envoy.
The two countries are at war without cutting off the envoys.
Jiang Wan was still surprised when she heard the news, but when she arrived at Song Jiuyuan's tent and saw the person coming, she was still surprised.
Because it was Aguanna who came.
There were several people from the Northern Dynasty following behind her, and the atmosphere was a bit condensed.
Jiang Wan walked in calmly and sat beside Song Jiuyuan casually.
"What's wrong?"
"They want to trade your junior brother for General Ouyang."
Song Jiuyuan's hand holding the wine glass was slightly white, and Jiang Wan looked at Aguanna in surprise.
Her eyes were very calm, as if this was a trivial matter.
Maybe Jiang Wan's gaze was too hot, so Aguanna raised a smile.
"Princess, there is no need to look at me like this. Although the old man is my biological father, he has never fulfilled any of his father's responsibilities.
So if I can trade him for General Ouyang, I won't hesitate. "
Her words made several people from the Northern Dynasty behind her express their appreciation, "The princess understands the righteousness deeply."
"My lord, I heard that the old man is a relative of the princess. You can't let her down, right?"
"That's the princess's brother."
"..."
Outsiders didn't know that Old Man Ouyang was Jiang Wan's senior brother. It seemed that Aguanna had said all this.
For a moment, Jiang Wan couldn't tell what Aguanna was thinking.
If she is said to have rebelled, the information she gave is indeed true.
But why is she treating her little senior brother like this now?
Song Jiuyuan raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Wan with a questioning look in his eyes, "Wanwan, what do you think?"
"My lord, this is your business. I dare not interfere."
In front of the people from the Northern Dynasty, Jiang Wan lowered her attitude because she saw contempt in their eyes.
She just likes the feeling of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, so just let them go back and talk nonsense.
Under the table, Jiang Wan gently pinched Song Jiuyuan's fingertips. Song Jiuyuan was silent for a moment and said:
"This matter is of great importance, and I, the King, need to consider it carefully."
"Then I'll wait for news from the prince."
"I hope the prince will consider it carefully and don't let the princess down."
Aguanna's eyes fell on Jiang Wan's face, and then she followed the others out.
Song Er was responsible for entertaining them. After they left, Jiang Wancai said doubtfully:
"What medicine is sold in Aguanna's gourd?"
"Perhaps...General Ouyang is just a secret sentinel temporarily placed here with us?"
Song Jiuyuan raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, "It seems that we underestimated the eldest prince."
"I see."
Jiang Wan figured it out, "It seems that he deliberately put General Ouyang here to get information."
