"Really?" His Highness Prince Ning raised his eyebrows. Seeing Shen Cha's sincere look, he chuckled and said, "Since you think you have good intentions, I agree. We are doing this for their own good. ,Right?"
"Yeah, it's all for their own good!" Shen Cha nodded with a smile. She looked at her board and smiled, "Actually, this problem is not difficult to solve. If Wan Yanping really has a good relationship with the eldest prince, You should know some inside information.”
"With the eldest prince?" Prince Ning was stunned, "Wanyanxi's eldest brother?" He glanced at Xue Ruitian, who had no expression on his face when he mentioned the eldest prince, "What's wrong with the eldest prince? He's not a clairvoyant, how could he Do you know that this kind of problem will arise in Yiqing Mansion so many years after his death?"
"Actually, this is not the eldest prince's prophecy, but a tradition of the entire Wanyan family. Unfortunately, this tradition has disappeared due to Wanyan Zongcheng's forced marriage, so Wanyan Ping may not know about it."
"Tradition?" His Highness Prince Ning really didn't understand what Chen Cha meant. He turned to look at Wu Qingruo, "Brother Qingruo?"
"I probably know what Xiaocha is talking about." Wu Qingruo thought for a while, "There is a small warehouse in the northwest corner of the palace. That warehouse is usually used to store some reserve materials in case of emergencies."
"It's not unusual for the palace to have reserves, but how big a warehouse can store enough rations for Yiqing Mansion?" His Highness Prince Ning disagreed, "I'm afraid we can't even guarantee that everyone has a bowl of gruel!"
"It is true that the things in the warehouse cannot be guaranteed, but the warehouse itself can be guaranteed." Shen Cha and Wu Qingruo exchanged a look and nodded towards her uncle, indicating that they wanted to go together. "This warehouse is held every year. They will be repaired and the walls and roofs will be thickened. Does Uncle Ning know why?"
"I don't know!" His Highness Prince Ning shook his head, "What kind of loss is it?"
"Because the original grain bricks must be replaced with newly made grain bricks every year."
"Liang Brick?" His Highness Prince Ning looked confused. He looked at Shen Haolin and Song Jue and found that they were not very clear about what Shen Cha meant. "What is this? I have never heard of it before."
"Every year before the new grain arrives, the imperial kitchen will make huge grain bricks from all kinds of grain that have not yet been used. Because it contains a lot of glutinous rice, it has very good adhesion and can be used Come to build a house.”
"Wait a minute!" Song Jue grabbed Shen Cha's arm, "You...you...don't tell me that the small warehouse was built with these bricks!"
"It's basically like this, but the layer outside the house is different from the layer inside the warehouse. It's normal. These are the interlayers inside. Such grain bricks can be stored for a long, long time, up to ten years. Although the taste is much different from that of new grain, it can save lives at least. Such grain bricks are basically made every year before new grain comes out. The original grain bricks are taken out to provide disaster relief and help the poor. The new grain bricks are The grain bricks became the mezzanine of the warehouse.”
"So that's it!" His Highness Prince Ning nodded, "There should be a lot of pressed grain bricks in this entire mezzanine of the warehouse, which should be enough to feed the entire Yiqing Prefecture refugee population. However, I'm afraid this can't be maintained. Isn’t it too long?”
"A grain brick weighs about one stone, and the entire small warehouse contains at least a hundred grain bricks, which is enough for at least half a month." Shen Cha chuckled, "What's more, there are more than a hundred grain bricks! "
"Will Wanyanping know?"
"If she doesn't know, we can let her know." Shen Cha smiled, "Of course not from the beginning, but slowly."
"Besides, this is not the only small warehouse like this. As long as Wanyanping is careful, she can discover these hidden grain warehouses." Wu Qingruo chuckled, "If she can solve this food problem, the internal affairs of Yiqing Mansion will be greatly improved." Most of the troubles can be calmed down, but it will not be easy to use this to instigate the refugees to cause trouble in the future."
"This crisis has been solved, and there are others. We just want to use this to attract Wanyanping's attention. What we really want to do is the palace, isn't it?" Shen Cha smiled at Wu Qingruo, "Then We don’t intend to get involved in the things hidden under this palace, but it’s okay to bring them out to sow discord.”
"for example?"
"For example, if Feng is released, Wanyan Ping finds some treasures and wants to devour them all, making Wanyan Qingmu jealous."
"Won't this hurt the people you arranged?" His Highness Prince Ning frowned, "After all, knowing the treasure under the palace, Wan Yanping will only let her close friends know about it. If the news gets out, I'm afraid your people will suffer. "
"No." Shen Cha shook his head gently, "Wanyanping is surrounded not only by my people and the two brothers, but also by Wanyan Qingmu's people. They are just like us, and they can't wait to win over her. Wan Yanping's trust, I believe that they must have taken more actions than us and performed more actively than us. This is the first time I go there to explore the palace. My people will definitely not go there, and neither will the two brothers. It will go down.”
"Is this to temporarily avoid the edge?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, His Highness Prince Ning gave a thumbs up, "That's great, advance as a retreat!"
"That is, this kind of limelight is very suitable for Wanyan Qingmu's people. Let them make trouble. We will just set up the stage for them. As for how they should sing in the later drama, that is their own business. That’s it, we just need to be spectators and quietly watch their performance.”
"This method is quite appropriate. It doesn't seem like it was thought up on the spur of the moment, right?"
"That's of course. It took me, my brother, Brother Xiaotian, and Brother Xiaojing to think about how to torment Wanyan Ping for a while. Naturally, we thought of various ways and strategies, and even occasionally we When the interest arises, we will also practice it. Therefore, the strategies that can be presented are ones that we ourselves are more comfortable with,"
"So that's the case, that means you are very confident." Seeing Shen Cha nodding, His Highness Prince Ning raised his eyebrows at Wu Qingruo, "Brother Qingruo, what do you think? Their plan is not bad? "
"It's generally okay, but there is a loophole. How did Wan Yanping discover that there was something wrong with the palace? This is a point that needs more focus." Wu Qingruo looked at Shen Cha, "Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded affirmatively, "This is our original intention for this strategy, to break down Wanyan Ping's psychological defense, make her mistakenly think that the palace is haunted, make her mistakenly think that it is her betrayal, and that she is against Wanyan Xi chased her down, and the eldest prince came to seek revenge on her in the middle of the night. He slowly guided her to discover the palace and the secret rooms and entrances beneath the palace."
"Because in her impression, only the eldest prince knows the entrance. If someone opens the secret room below, it must be the eldest prince, and no one else."
