In mid-September, Yuxi returned to Yucheng with jujubes. In the past few days, Yun Qing has written to her, but she has said some trivial things, and there are no other miscellaneous things to bother her. But when I returned to Yucheng, there were many things. The first is the thick list sent by Han Ji.

Han Ji said: "Madam, these things are all classified, how do you think Madame should deal with them?" This time there are too many things, and many of them are not suitable for the children of the Salesian.

Yuxi said: "I'll talk about it after I see it." By the way, what do you think about going to Xihai this time? "She asked Han Ji to go to the West Sea, not just to buy skins and medicinal herbs.

Han Ji said: "Madam, the materials on the West Sea are very abundant, and the water sources are also abundant, which is much richer than that of Shaanxi and Gansu. ”

Before Yuxi could say anything, Han Ji continued: "Madam, although Xihai is rich, the people there are also very hard. The officials exploited it very badly, and the Tibetans also often attacked. "To put it simply, it's not a peaceful place.

Yuxi listened and said: "I know, you go down first, this list will be distributed after I finish reading." "This thing will definitely be distributed at the end of the month.

It took Yuxi an afternoon to read the thick list, and after closing the list, she couldn't help but smile and said, "This is really, the pancreatic soap has been scraped." ”

Zi Jin said: "Pancreatic soap, ordinary people can't afford it. "Only wealthy people will buy this thing.

This is not a big project, and it took Yuxi three days to subdivide things. Books, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and other things had to be sent to the Qingming Hall, in addition, the fine cloths were sent to the Salesian House to make clothes for the children, silk and silk and leather were given by Yunqing to the meritorious soldiers below, and all the medicinal materials were sent to the barracks. Everything is very well placed, even the furniture is also placed in the Salesian Courtyard and Qingming Hall, the only trouble is the old clothes that are worn, Yuxi doesn't know what to do with it.

Han Ji knew Yuxi's embarrassment, and said, "Madam, the families of those soldiers who died in the war are very miserable, I believe that if they can get one or two clothes, they will be very happy." ”

Yuxi didn't think it was good: "It's not good to give people leftover clothes." "Anyway, Yuxi doesn't wear clothes that other people have worn.

Han Ji said: "Madam, these old clothes are three points better for them than the new clothes they make. Moreover, even if they don't wear it, they can change it themselves. "If you want Han Ji to say, this is not a matter at all, but Mrs. treats it as a big thing.

Yuxi frowned and said, "Let me think again." This has something to do with Yuxi's temperament, I want her to embroider, obviously the embroidery is perfect, but she feels that there is a flaw, and she would rather destroy it than use it. It's the same with this dress, it's okay to give someone new clothes, but you can give someone old clothes, how ugly it is.

Han Ji didn't talk much nonsense, and said, "Madam, then I'll have people send things out now?"

Yuxi nodded and said, "You go get busy!"

When Yunqing came back from the evening, Yuxi told him about it: "You said that it would be bad to give away these old clothes?"

Yun Qing knew Yuxi's thoughts when he heard this, and said: "What's wrong, the people in the border city have a hard life, and ordinary people rarely make new clothes. The Xu family is so rich, even if it is the clothes worn by ordinary maids, it is better for them than the new clothes they bought. This is exactly the same as what Han Ji said.

Yuxi still doesn't think it's good.

Yun Qing smiled and said, "If they get these things, they will only be happy, they won't think so much, you can rest assured that Han Ji will do it!"

Yuxi said: "Maybe I'm thinking too much. After a pause, he asked, "What are you going to do with this money?"

Yun Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I originally wanted to use it to pay a pension, but this is too eye-catching. Therefore, the money should be put away first, and then taken out when things are not good next year. ”

Yuxi nodded and said, "It's really not appropriate to show this money now. Although the head of the Xu family and several important people are dead, they can't keep that there are still people who know these secrets. However, there is also a problem with the use of this money, in case the imperial court wants to fill these things into the treasury, what will be done?" Several heads of the Xu family died violently on the night they were imprisoned. As for who did it, it goes without saying that we know.

Yun Qing sneered and said, "Unless they want Yucheng to mutiny, they don't dare to put this money into the treasury." "I've been shirking the lack of money before, so I put up with this bad breath. Now that they have money and don't take it away from them, they really think they have no temperament.

Yuxi said worriedly: "However, even if the money of the prefect's yamen is really used for you, plus those gold, silver and jewelry from before, these money can only be used for two years at most." What should I do after that? I have to find a way to do it!"

When Yun Qing heard this, his face was a little gloomy: "Mr. Xia said that you can sell salt and cloth outside the customs." ”

Yuxi opened his mouth, but he didn't expect Mr. Xia to really mention this matter to Yunqing. Yuxi was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you agree?" In fact, looking at Yunqing's face, he knew that he didn't agree.

Sure enough, Yunqing shook his head and said, "No." ”

Yuxi knew Yunqing's temper very well, if he hadn't been forced to have no choice, he would never have done such a thing. Yuxi also believed that Marshal Qin must have been forced to the point where he had no choice, so he took this road. And if you don't want Yunqing to take this path, you can only find other ways.

Thinking of this, Yuxi said to Yunqing: "Actually, I have a way, but it's just difficult. ”

Yunqing's eyes lit up and asked, "What is the way, you tell me." ”

Yuxi said: "This time Han Ji went to Xihai, and I found that the price difference between things in various places is very large. If you can form a large caravan and sell the specialties of the West Sea to Jiangnan or the capital, and then sell the things in the capital to other places, it will definitely be a huge profit. ”

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "It's easier said than done. Not to mention the formation of a caravan, if you encounter horse thieves and bandits, you will have to lose all your money. "In addition to horse thieves and bandits, there are other risks, such as the team leader must be precise and the timing must be right.

Yuxi said: "I know this, but if you can clean up all the bandits and thieves in Shaanxi and Gansu, then this problem will not be a problem." ”

Yun Qing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Yuxi, you know, I don't have this right. I can't send troops without an order. "If he can mobilize troops, where can he still tolerate these horse thieves and bandits to run rampant in the northwest. “

"That's the fundamental problem. ”

Yun Qing didn't understand the meaning of these words: "The fundamental problem, what is the fundamental problem?" The words were in a fog, making him really confused.

Yuxi glanced at Yun Qing and said, "You said that you don't have the right to send troops to exterminate those horse thieves and bandits, didn't you think that you could sit in that position with this right?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "The only person who can mobilize the Northwest Army is the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and it is impossible for the imperial court to let me be the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu." In this way, his rights are too great for the court to allow.

Yuxi said: "There are no conditions, you can find a way to create zào conditions by yourself." It's not like now, you can't say things before they are done. If you keep thinking like that, you can't do anything. "I don't know if it's because he was born in a family of military generals, Yunqing is very rigid and won't be flexible. Just like Qin Zhao killed him three or four times, he didn't take action against Qin Zhao because of Marshal Qin's kindness. If it were her, she would not let Qin Zhao go if she knew that Qin Zhao was going to kill her.

These words were a bit heavy, and Yun Qing's face was not very good-looking.

Yuxi said: "Although what Mr. Xia said is not very appropriate, his intentions are also good. Now that you have money on hand, you can not listen to Mr. Xia. But if you run out of money in the future, will you still hold on at that time? But if your persistence causes many soldiers to die in the cold, will you still persevere?"

Yun Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I won't let that day happen." ”

Yuxi heard this and said: "If you want to earn millions of silver in a year, normal channels are impossible, and you veto all other methods, how can you ensure that such soldiers can be fed and clothed?" After a pause, Yuxi said: "Actually, there is one thing I have never said. You obviously know that Qin Zhao is not suitable to be the leader of Yucheng in terms of ability and character, and you also have a chance to take the position, why don't you fight with Qin Zhao?" Before Qin Zhao took the throne back then, the Yu family had been in contact with Yunqing, but Yunqing refused.

Yun Qing said in a hoarse voice, "I can't fight with him. ”

Yuxi said: "I know that you are hindered by Marshal Qin's kindness and do not fight with Qin Zhao. But you haven't thought about it, why would Marshal Qin train you to take his place, instead of letting him Qin Zhao take over? That is because Marshal Qin knows that you are more suitable than Qin Zhao. He can throw away his personal interests and proceed from the overall situation, why are you afraid that if you take over the position of Marshal Qin, you will bear an ungrateful reputation? If you didn't let it back then, but took the position with the help of the power of the Yu family, so many people would not have died in Yucheng in the battle of Kaichun?" Looking at Yun Qing's uncertain expression, Yuxi said: "He Rui, why would Marshal Qin tolerate the Xu family selling materials outside the customs? Doesn't he know what the consequences will be after this matter is leaked? He knows, he has always known, but he still did it. He Rui, Marshal Qin is really a selfless person. "Whether it is vision or mind, Yunqing is not half a star.

In terms of eloquence, none of the ten Yunqing is Yuxi's opponent.

Yuxi sighed heavily and said, "Think about it yourself! I'll go and see the dates." "There are some things that must be figured out by Yunqing himself, and it is useless to persecute them.

Zi Jin looked at Yuxi's face and asked, "Madam, did you quarrel with the general?"

Yuxi said: "If there are so many words, do your thing." "In the peaceful and prosperous era, Yunqing's rigid temperament will be very popular with the superiors. But now it is a troubled time, in the troubled times, if Yunqing still wants to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country and spread through the ages, then their family will definitely have to lose everything. It was also based on this consideration that she would have said so heavily just now. There is no way, she can't let Yunqing go on like this. R1148
