Looking into Yun Shang's cunning eyes, Liu Ming remained silent for a long time and believed her.
Liu Ming opened the door for Yun Shang and hurried out. After Yun Shang entered the room, she found the room better than she expected. Simple as it was, it was much better than an inn. It had everything she needed, even a make-up box and a bronze mirror. Qian Liu and Qian Zhui were packing and making the bed for her. Yun Shang took out a piece of paper from the desk, and stared at it.
Qian Zhuo saw her action, turned to look at the table, and found that there was not good ink in the ink stone. She immediately put down the thing in her hand, poured a cup of tea, and added some water in the ink stone. Then she took the ink stone and gently rubbed it.
However, Yun Shang didn't move for a long time. After a long while, she looked up and asked Qian Zhuo, "how many rices does our ordinary people eat every month?"
Qian Zhuo was stunned by the question. Qian Liu giggled, "Your Highness, I know our servants have a petite appetite of about 30 kilograms per month. The servants who have good appetite could eat about 40 kilograms each month. Why do you ask this, your highness? "
Yun Shang smiled and said, "since I got up this morning, I walked around the city for three times. There are nine stores that sell rice in total. All of them are selling 3600000 kilograms of rice in total every month. The monthly food is about 35 kilograms of rice per person, which is equivalent to the monthly food of one hundred thousand people. There are forty thousand people in the Qian citywide total... "
Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo immediately knew what Yun Shang meant. "You mean there are 60000 soldiers
ion, can I send a message to them and ask?"
Yun Shang kept silent for a while and shook her head, "No, there's no need to do that. It will take six or seven days for the news to come back. I'd better get to deal with what is happening here and go back early. I'll ask the secret guards to get ready, and try to settle it tonight."
Qian Liu replied in a low voice, "OK."
Yun Shang lay down and closed her eyes, trying to have a nap.
When Yun Shang woke up, it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon. She lay down in bed, and got up. Qian Liu fetched a fox fur cloak for her, and helped Yun Shang put on her shoes. Yun Shang stood up, walked to a bronze mirror, and sat down. Qian Liu brushed Yun Shang's hair with a comb, and said with a smile, "We were talking that we haven't heard anything from the mansion before you went to bed. But I received a message just now. As your highness was asleep, I didn't wake you up. " Then she took the letter out of her sleeve and handed it to Yun Shang. "Take a look, your highness."
Yun Shang nodded her head, opened the letter and read it line by line. She could not help smiling.
