When Shen Jingli summoned the officers to discuss the matter, Mu Chen and Yan Chengli were counting troops in the barracks outside the city. They determined the 40000 soldiers who would follow them. They also made an appointment with Xu Yanlin.

In order to avoid information leakage, they set the meeting place in Prince Jing's residence, and deliberately strengthened the guard. As soon as he entered the door, Xu Yanlin couldn't wait to ask, "what's the situation? Is it really going to war? "

The sudden arrival of border intelligence, even if it had been predicted before, still shocked him and made him unwilling to believe it.

Mu Chen poured him hot tea. "I asked you to come here to discuss this matter."

Xu Yanlin just picked up the tea cup. Hearing his words, he put the cup down again. After staring at Mu Chen for a moment, he asked, "Your Majesty asked you to fight? This is also a predictable thing. Mu Chen, who has been in the northwest military camp for more than ten years, knows more about the deployment of the Daqi army and the tactics of Daqi than any other general in the DPRK and China. "

"The Lord also went to war." Mu Chen took up his tea and drank it.

"The Lord also goes to war?" Xu Yanlin was shocked and widened his eyes. "What does your majesty mean?"

Sending King Jing to war at such a critical moment? Do you trust him, or are you testing him?

"Your Majesty has his own consideration."

Yan Chengli didn't want to speculate on the emperor's mind. He went straight to the theme, "I'm looking for you. I want to discuss food and grass with you. Before going to the battlefield, the imperial court will definitely prepare food and grass. We will set out first, but some people will certainly not let the grain and grass arrive at the border smoothly. Therefore, the supply of grain and grass needs your help. "

After careful consideration, Xu Yanlin nodded, "I will try to deal with this problem."

Food and forage are the most important problem in marching and fighting. If the supply of grain and grass is not enough, it will not only cause great trouble to the soldiers on the front line, but also may disturb the morale of the army.

The three men talked about the issue of food and forage, and then talked about the war situation on the northwest border, and speculated on the battle plan of the other side. Mu Chen and Xu Yanlin left the palace together.

When he returned to the prefectural palace, he was lucky enough to send all the stewards out. When they saw Mu Chen coming back, they said hello to him one after another, and then they talked about leaving.

"My sister-in-law is in charge of the housekeeper very well." Xu Yanlin listened to the discussion of the directors, and suddenly said so to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen nodded. After all, Shen Jingli is not from this world. His ideas are more avant-garde than this world. He has a lot of business ideas of another world in his mind. The managers in their shops are all old generals in the shopping malls. With a little consideration of his ideas, they can easily use them. Therefore, they have accumulated a lot of property in recent years.

Thinking of this, Mu Chen suddenly turned his head and glared at the departing steward. Xu Yanlin had already entered the gate. Seeing that he did not follow up, he called back to him, but found that he did not know what he was looking at and did not hear his voice at all.

"Zian, Zian, what are you looking at?" Xu Yanlin came out and yelled a few more.

"Well..." Mu Chen came to his senses and did not hear his voice at all.

Xu Yanlin sighed deeply, "what are you looking at? You can't hear me calling? "

"I think of one thing that might help your task."

"Can you solve the problem of food and grass?" Although he promised to solve the problem of grain and grass, he was not a taxi on the ground. He said that he could pick up a pile if he wanted to. He had no grain or silver in his hand. He was worried about where to get food and grass. When he heard Mu Chen say that there was a way to solve the problem, he immediately asked.

Mu Chen chuckled and didn't answer him immediately. Instead, he asked him what Shen Jingli asked the stewards to do?

"Madame asked the steward to report on the harvest of the previous year." Daji replied.

"The steward's report?"

"The harvest is very good. Not only three warehouses in the south are full of grain, but two warehouses near the capital are also full of grain. Zhang Guanshi also said that a lot of medicinal materials have been harvested from the medicinal plants purchased before. According to the situation of this year, if they are sold to the northwest, they will certainly make a lot of money." Darjeet road.

Mu Chen's smile grew deeper and deeper. Shen Jingli was like a squirrel who was always ready for winter. He always thought about how to store more grain. Therefore, as long as he had free money in his hand, he would buy land and employ a group of people to study how to make the grain yield high.

Xu Yanlin listened to Daji's reply, stupefied. Until they passed through the corridor of the hospital, he suddenly realized, "do you mean your sister-in-law has food in her hand?"

"Jing Li Xiang has the habit of storing grain."

At first, he did not understand why he was so keen on grain storage, but after listening to his reasons, he felt that he was really prescient in doing so.

"Why?" Will their family still be short of food?

"Because we can't avoid natural disasters." Therefore, if you plan for the worst, you will not be caught unprepared and suffer heavy losses when the disaster comes.

Xu Yanlin didn't understand this deeply. He was skeptical about Mu Chen's reasons. Instead, he believed that Shen Jingli was a profiteer. In order to earn more money, he stored so much grain. After all, many grain merchants would do this. When the price of grain dropped, he bought it wantonly. When the grain price was low, he sold it wantonly.Shen Jingli is dealing with the account books handed in by the steward. Listening to Jin Yu's message that Mu Chen and Xu Yanlin are back, they stop their work and let Xiaohong and Nianhua come out with the unfinished books.

As soon as Mu Chen and Xu Yanlin sat down, they saw him bring people over and stood up again. Xu Yanlin was particularly excited. After knowing that he had food in his hand, Xu Yanlin saw him, just like a beggar seeing food, his eyes were shining.

"Finished?" Mu Chen held out his hand and felt his fingers cold. He rubbed them in the palm of his hand and gave him some warmth. "Is there no stove in the room? Why are your hands so cold? "

Shen Jingli took back his hand and rubbed it slightly. "This is a physical problem. It has nothing to do with whether the stove is fired or not."

His body is rather chilly. In winter, he is prone to cold hands and feet. Even in recent years, he has been very careful in conditioning, and there is no significant improvement.

He asked Xiaohong and Nianhua to put the account books on the table, opened the top one, and said to Mu Chen, "I know all about the things you want to fight, so you can handle these accounts."

Shen Jingli felt heartache at the thought of handing over the grain in his hand, but for mu 14, he could only bear to part with pain.

Mu Chen weighed the weight of that pile of account books, eyebrow tip light pick, "you have already started to prepare?"

His heart was filled with heat, so he wanted to hold Shen Jingli in his arms and love him well.

"If you know you're going to the battlefield, ask the steward to come and discuss this matter. After all, it's too urgent to deal with it sometimes." Shen Jingli said lightly.

After handing over the account books and the locations of several warehouses to Mu Chen and Xu Yanlin, Shen Jingli went back to the children's room. Tuan Tuan and An'an had just had enough to eat. The nannies were holding them to play. Seeing Shen Jingli come in, they quickly put them back in the cradle.

Shen Jingli stayed by the stove for a while to get rid of the cold. Then he went to see his two children. The two children grew up and could already recognize people. When he saw Shen Jingli, he reached out to him.

Shen Jingli picked up the group, and the quiet little group opened his eyes and laughed at him. Seeing that he was happy, Shen Jingli kissed him on his forehead and said angrily: "you little heartless, your father is going to fight. You can still laugh."

After that, I feel silly. What does a child who is only a few months old know? I was stupid enough to tell him about it.

He laughed at himself and teased Tuan Tuan for a while, then put him back in the cradle, and then picked An'an up. An'an was much more naughty than Tuan Tuan. As soon as he was picked up, he reached out to grab Shen Jingli's hair.

"Naughty." Shen Jingli patted and patted his little fat hand and walked around the room with him in his arms. The window of the room was half opened. Through that half window, you could see the trees outside shaking by the wind. Shen Jingli looked at him dully. Somehow, he felt a little uncomfortable.

In a twinkling of an eye, the day when Mu Chen and King Jing were commander-in-chief arrived. Shen Jingli personally sent them to the gate of the city.

Xun'er cleverly followed Shen Jingli, watching Mo Yu and lightning follow Mu Chen away. He raised a face somewhat similar to Mu Chen and asked, "am, where is Dad going? Why don't you take us with you? "

Shen Jingli looks down at his clever and sensible son, reaches out and rubs his head. His movements are very gentle, which makes xun'er feel that he cares. So xun'er squints and smiles at him.

Shen Jingli felt his heart hurt more. He squatted down, holding xun'er's small body, and said in a soft voice, "Dad has gone to fight in the northwest. After winning the battle, dad will come back."

"Why war?" Xun Er blinked his eyes and asked.

Yeah, why? Shen Jingli also asked himself in his heart, and then laughed sarcastically. What else can it be for? For human lust.

"You're too young to mind these things."

Xun'er stood up, picked him up and looked at the army in front of him. His eyes showed reluctance and worry.

"Dad's gone." Xun'er stretched out his hand, pointed to the disappearing team and squeezed his fist tightly.

"Well Let's go home. " Shen Jingli put xun'er down, took him by the hand, and went down the tower. Jinyu and Nianhua were waiting for him. Seeing Shen Jingli come down, he quickly put on his cloak.

"Madam, it's still very cold recently. You must pay attention to your health."

Jinyu helped him into the carriage, and then he took xun'er into the carriage. Xun'er was sad and lay down in her arms, stretched out his hand to grab her clothes, and said bitterly, "Dad is gone again, and he has taken away Mo Yu and lightning."

Seeing this, Jinyu quickly comforted him and said, "don't be sad. The master will be back soon."
