In the divine capital city, in the Golden Palace.
Dai Quan shouted at the top of his lungs: "If you have a foundation, you will start early, but if you don't have a foundation, you will retreat."
Li Guanglu, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "Your Majesty, we have received an urgent report from Shaanxi. Our imperial army has annihilated 10,000 rebels in Yulin three days ago and successfully recovered Yulin. This is a good report sent by Ning Guogong. Please ask Your Majesty. Yulan."
When the civil and military officials in the main hall heard this, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
The Jia family really has a character. They won three consecutive victories just after arriving in Shaanxi, which is really amazing.
Winning a few wars is nothing.
But compared with the previous generals who lost troops and generals, were defeated and died in battle, and the entire army was wiped out, it seemed particularly unusual.
When Lin Ruhai heard this, he also let out a sigh of relief. If Jia Cong could do this, he no longer had to worry about him.
Wait until the next court and have someone send a letter to Yu'er to tell her the news so that she won't worry at home.
When Emperor Longqing heard this, he was even more in a good mood. Jia Cong was so proud of himself.
He said happily: "Ning Guogong is really my blessed general, please present it to me quickly."
Li Guanglu did not dare to neglect, took out the victory report and presented it with both hands.
Dai Quan stepped forward to take it and delivered it to Emperor Longqing.
Emperor Longqing looked through it carefully and nodded with satisfaction. He was also deeply impressed by Jia Cong's achievements. However, when he saw Jia Cong rewarding the soldiers with the captured property later, he couldn't help but frown slightly. .
This matter can be big or small. According to Jia Cong's explanation, there is nothing wrong with it.
Judging from Jia Cong's previous performance, there should be no idea of winning people's hearts, it is purely for the sake of the war situation.
Besides, his whole family was still in the capital, so no matter how he looked at Jia Cong, he would not have any dissatisfaction. Thinking of this, Emperor Longqing felt relieved.

Who would sacrifice their life for the imperial court and bravely kill the enemy regardless of life and death? Does Mr. Yang hope that the imperial army will be completely defeated? "
Yang Huai said angrily: "Niu, what are you talking about? Is that what I mean? I also hope that Ning Guogong can wipe out the rebels as soon as possible so that the people of Shaanxi can live a normal life. However, it is the imperial court's responsibility to reward the army. It's your Majesty's business, Ning Guogong's move is a bit overstepping."
Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding said: "Ning Guogong is the commander-in-chief of an army. He is ordered by the emperor to lead troops to suppress bandits. He represents the court and your majesty. It is wrong to reward meritorious soldiers. What Mr. Yang said is a bit too much."
Emperor Longqing had known about this for a long time, and Jia Cong did not hide it from him. When he heard Shi Ding's words again, he felt much better.
He waved his hands and said, "Ning Guo Gong was ordered to suppress the bandits, and he represents the imperial court. There is nothing wrong with this move. Ning Guo Gong has already mentioned this in the battle report, and this matter is over.
Song Aiqing, prepare some more pigs, sheep, wine, and transport them to Shaanxi to reward the three armies. "
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
······
Ningguo Mansion, in the lobby.
There are warblers and swallows, and there is a lot of joy and laughter.
Lin Daiyu was the host today and invited all the sisters over to hold a poetry club.
Li Wan couldn't help but click his tongue as he looked at the five or six ice bowls placed in the room and the various ice creams and popsicles on the table.
"Sister Lin, your family is really rich. It has just entered summer, and you have used so much ice here. It is so extravagant and difficult to live."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "There are so many people today. I'm afraid the heat will hit you, so I put out a few more basins of ice cubes. Instead, I'm going to get a lesson from my sister-in-law. It's really hard for me."
Li Wan smiled and said, "Hey, my sister-in-law blamed you wrongly."
Shi Xiangyun took an ice cream and smiled as he ate it: "Sister Lin's place is so comfortable. My sister is reluctant to leave. The ice cream is so delicious."
Xue Baoqin said: "Well, this is my first time eating this ice cream. It's so delicious. I've never seen it before."
Li Wen said: "We have never seen this thing before, and we have never seen it for sale."
Xing Xiuyan said: "This is also the first time for me to eat ice cream and popsicles. I have only seen people selling ice cream before, but they are incomparable to this."
Xichun said with a smile: "This is all made by our family. We had it several years ago. At that time, my brother had not gone to Liaodong to join the army. We have been selling it in the capital for two years. In a few days, we will have it in the capital." Sold."
Xue Baochai smiled and said, "You don't have to wait a few days. They have already started selling a few days ago."
Xue Baoqin said: "Sister, is this also done by my brother-in-law? My brother-in-law is really amazing."
Xichun said proudly: "Of course, it was all invented by my brother. How can it not be amazing? My brother is the most powerful."
Xue Baochai pinched Xichun's little face and said with a smile: "Seeing how you praise your brother, you won't be afraid that others will take your brother away."
Xichun said with a smile: "With two sisters-in-law watching, who can snatch it away? Sister-in-law Lin is very good at fighting. Who can beat her?"
Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and scolded with a smile: "Eat your ice cream quickly. Can't ice cream stop your mouth?"
Shi Xiangyun chuckled and said, "Well, third brother is quite awesome. I can't get enough of this ice cream."
Yingchun said: "Don't eat too much, or you may spoil your stomach."
Tanchun sighed and said: "We are eating this ice cream comfortably here. I don't know how the third brother is doing now. Is it hot there and there is no ice cream?"
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.
Jia Cong has been on the battlefield for more than a month. To be honest, everyone misses him a little.
Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu were both newly married, so they naturally missed them even more.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Brother Cong will not wrong himself. We don't have to worry about him. If he wants to eat, he can just make it himself. This is not a problem for him. I heard him say before that in Liaodong When I was there, I lived quite comfortably.
We just need to wait patiently for him to come back. "
Shi Xiangyun said: "I really want to see the third brother show off his power. Sister Lin, aren't you very powerful? How about we secretly go to see the third brother."
Xichun said: "I want to go too."
Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes, she said it in front of so many people, how could she go secretly?
"I would like to go, but Brother Cong won't let me. He asks me to stay at home and look after the house. Besides, it's too messy there and it's not a place we can go. You'd better stay at home honestly, otherwise you'll really get arrested. Someone robbed you and forced you to be the wife of a stronghold, so don’t forget the lessons you learned before.”
Shi Xiangyun wrinkled his nose, snorted and said, "Sister Lin, you really don't open and lift any pot. This has happened for many years."
Everyone looked at Shi Xiangyun curiously, and some people who knew about it couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering.
Shi Xiangyun and Xichun secretly followed him to Jiangnan, but were almost kidnapped by beggars.
Thinking of the embarrassing things in the past, Shi Xiangyun remained silent and concentrated on dealing with the ice cream.
At this time, Zijuan walked in and said with a smile: "I have good news for you. Our father-in-law has won another battle and has taken back Yulin."
"ah······"
When everyone heard this, they all turned to look at Zijuan.
Lin Daiyu quickly asked: "Zijuan, is this news true? Who did you hear it from?"
Zijuan smiled and said, "Madam, this news is indeed true. It was sent by Mr. Lin from the Lin Mansion. The good news has been sent to the capital."
Lin Daiyu said: "Is this the news my father sent someone?"
Zijuan said: "Yes, madam."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Since it was my father who sent the news, there is nothing wrong with it. Now that Brother Cong has won another battle, you don't have to worry about him. Maybe Brother Cong will wipe out the rebels soon. The teacher has returned to the court."
Xue Baoqin praised: "Brother-in-law is really amazing. In just a short time, he has won three battles. It's really amazing."
Xichun chuckled and said, "Of course, that's my brother."
Xue Baochai smiled and said, "How about we write a poem based on this great victory today?"
Lin Daiyu said: "I think it's okay, what do you think?"
Li Wan said: "Everyone has never seen a battlefield or a battle. Isn't it a bit difficult?"
Shi Xiangyun chuckled and said, "Actually, we have met before. Last time we were on the canal and watched the third brother win a battle."
Li Wan said: "Okay, let's use this as the title."
······
On this day, Jia Lian and Xue Pan finally arrived in Yulin with the grain team.
Looking at the vast and endless grain team, they slowly entered Yulin City. The people in the city cheered, and now there was no shortage of food.
Jia Cong asked Li Biao to take the owners of the four grain stores to settle the grain team first.
He also called all the stewards from each family together and set a rule to avoid chaos.
"Everyone, thank you for transporting food to Shaanxi. In principle, I will not interfere with your actions. You can sell it however you want and to whomever you want. But there is one thing, that is, it cannot exceed the area under my control. Once it goes beyond I am not responsible for any danger in this area. This is for your own good. Please keep this in mind.
I have two suggestions here. One is that you sell your own grain yourself, and you can sell it however you want. The other is to sell the grain you bring to local grain merchants at a cheaper price. Of course, the choice is entirely up to you. I will not ask or interfere. Everything is up to you. "
"Thank you very much, Marshal. Marshal, can we sell it anywhere?"
When everyone heard what Jia Cong said, they were completely relieved. They were still afraid that Jia Cong would tease them on the way here.
Jia Cong said: "If you sell in Yulin City, I can ensure everyone's safety. Of course, you can also go to the towns and villages within Yulin to sell.
, but you are responsible for your own safety. It is impossible for me to send troops to protect you. If nothing happens, everyone can go down and choose a suitable place and method to sell your grain. "
Someone asked: "Commander, I don't know what the commander will do with the food in Ningguo Mansion. Can you tell us?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's all right. I'm here to fight. It's only natural to find this way of making money for everyone. It's impossible to focus on it. I will entrust the local people with the grain of Ningguo Mansion. Grain merchants, sell it to them at low prices, so although they make less money, it also saves them a lot of trouble."
After hearing this, the stewards discussed among themselves for a while, then left one after another.
Only Jia Lian, Xue Pan, Xue Ke, a steward from the Lin Mansion, and a steward from the Shi family remained.
Xue Pan asked, "Brother Cong, please give me your opinion on what to do with the grain of my Xue family. Brother, I will listen to you."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Brother Xue, you don't have to be like this. If you have other ideas, that's fine. My idea is this, if so much food is sold out, I don't know how long it will take?
It is better to resell it to those grain merchants at a low price. Although you will make less money, you can sell it quickly and get the money in your hands. It is impossible for us to transport food just this time. In the future, food will continue to be transported, and the price will become lower and lower. Of course, we will still make some money. "
These people are not fools, they understand it as soon as they hear it.
Such a large amount of food cannot be digested in Yulin City in the short term. It is estimated that it will be sold slowly, so there will be a wait.
Jia Lian said: "Brother Cong, even if we sell all the grain to those grain merchants, won't they still be unable to sell it? Then do we need to transport more grain?"
Jia Cong said: "Of course we need it. Shaanxi is very big and is seriously short of food. Even if ten times more food is brought in, we can still eat it. You just need to transport the food here and leave the selling to those people." Already."
