Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 721
On the other side, Yu Qinghuan arrived in Yongzhou.

Because of the war, few people in the town went out.

There are only three or two hawkers working to make a living.

Guiyan City is a large city in the north. There are about tens of thousands of permanent residents in the city, but the total number of merchants who come to Guiyan City to make a living and the coolies looking for work also totals tens of thousands.

Compared with other towns in Yongzhou, the population of Guiyan City is really large.

Yu Qinghuan rushed to the county government office to notify local officials, asking them to spread the word that they must not use the water in the river in the near future. He also asked them to send urgent documents to other counties and pass the news to them.

Just going back and forth like this took another day.

Yu Qinghuan didn't dare to stop for a moment and rushed straight to Nangong's house.

She didn't mince words and directly revealed the identity of Princess Qi.

The old man received her directly, but he still had doubts when he saw that she was dusty, her skin was tanned, and she did not have the temperament of a princess in her every move.

It's just that the old man is an old man, so even if he had all kinds of doubts in his heart, he didn't show them.

"The princess is here at my humble residence. What can I teach you?"

Yu Qinghuan went directly to the topic without any foreshadowing: "I'm here to buy food."

Taking out a stack of banknotes, Yu Qinghuan pushed it in front of the old man.

This stack of banknotes is still the same one that Nangong Suisui gave to Xie Yun.

Changsun Tao left Xie Yun when he came to rescue her, but when she set off from southern Xinjiang, Changsun Tao gave them to her.

The wool comes from the sheep, and Yu Qinghuan uses it, but he doesn't feel bad at all.

"Buy grain?" The old man put down his pipe without even looking at the banknote, "What grain do you want to buy?"

Yu Qinghuan said: "There are a total of 16 taels here. Whether it is whole grains, bacon sausages, bedding, clothing, horse fodder, the Nangong family can sell them all. I have bought them all, and the Nangong family can set their own prices. According to Just provide the corresponding quantity of goods with these banknotes.”

The old man picked up the silver notes and counted them, then put them down gently: "If you use my Nangong family's money to buy the Nangong family's grain, in the end it will be like the Nangong family giving it to you for free. How come you people from Prince Qi's palace are so cunning in doing things?" ?”

Yu Qinghuan said with shame: "The little savings of Prince Qi's Palace have been invested in Yangzhou a long time ago. To be honest with you, Prince Qi's Palace is now so poor that the bottom of the rice vat has bottomed out. The money was brought to me by Miss Zhixing, she said It was the pocket change given to her by the head of the Nangong family. Since the banknote has been given to Miss Zhixing, the old man can no longer say that it belongs to the Nangong family."

The old man smashed his pipe and shook the ashes into a small elegant pottery bowl: "The common people did not hide the princess's identity. They were not sure of her identity before, but after seeing this stack of banknotes, they will be sure."

"It's just Princess. Although the Nangong family is doing a legitimate business, they suddenly sold you such a huge batch of grain. If something happens, we are just a mere merchant and cannot bear such a huge responsibility!"

Yu Qinghuan said: "Don't worry, old man, I didn't buy these things for rebellion, but to transport them to the hundreds of thousands of border guards in Guiyan City for future rations."

The old man didn't understand: "When fighting on the border, the court supplies food and grass, so why does the princess need to pay for it out of her own pocket?"

Yu Qinghuan smiled: "The Yangzhou floods should be funded by the imperial court for disaster relief. Why does Prince Qi need to use his family's money to resettle the displaced victims? Old man, I don't go through the motions when doing things, because I want things to be truly implemented. It should be in the hands of those who deserve it.”

"Currently, the food and grass in Guiyan City can only last for a few days. Wait until I transfer the food, grass and quilts from the imperial court to Guiyan City. The hundreds of thousands of men who protect their families and country will probably starve to death on the battlefield ahead."

Yu Qinghuan thought that she would have to talk a lot to convince the old man to sell her the thing, but when the old man heard this, he made a decisive decision: "The common people will accept the money and keep an account, so that the princess can have an explanation with the superiors. The Nangong family's There is not much food left, but it is enough for the soldiers returning to Yancheng to survive this winter."

"It's the maturity period of cotton now, and the Nangong family has also harvested a lot of cotton. The common people gave this batch of cotton to the princess together with the cotton cloth they had stocked up to sell in the winter."

"However, I have grain and quilts in my warehouse, but no fodder. What should I do?"

Yu Qinghuan said: "Before I came here, I had already inquired. The grains in the hands of the Nangong family are all newly harvested rice this year. When the rice is ground, isn't there still chaff? Horses can eat chaff!"

The old man slapped his head: "The ordinary people didn't expect this. It's just that these things add up to about 10,000+ stones. How does the princess plan to transport them to Guiyan City?"

Yu Qinghuan stood up and saluted solemnly: "On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who returned to Yancheng, I thanked the old man. In the face of a national crisis, the old man has great righteousness, and he is truly a role model for us. In the future, when the world is stable, I will be a holy figure. Set up a monument of merit for the old man."

The old man smiled and shook his head: "How can there be an egg in the house? The common people are not only for the soldiers, but also for the Nangong clan in the north. If Guiyan City is destroyed, where will there be a place for the Nangong family? It's just that the relationship between the DPRK and China is complicated and complicated. The whole body is affected by one move. The common people also have their own style and principles. It is okay to sell things to the princess, but they cannot help the princess transport them to northern Xinjiang. Please forgive me." Yu Qinghuan said: "The old man only needs to give the order. Just try to get things ready tomorrow, as for transportation, I will find another way."

The old man knocked on his pipe again: "By the way, regarding the Cao Min's grandson A Sui and Miss Zhi Xing...does the princess have any opinions or suggestions?"

Yu Qinghuan was startled, then smiled and said: "Haha, the old man is talking about the two of them? I don't have any objections. No matter whether Miss Zhixing gets married or not, we don't have any objections. As long as someone is willing to take him, we will give it to him. become."

The old man was puzzled and murmured in a low voice: "You should have told me earlier! I abandoned an iron mine for nothing. Isn't this a business with a discount?"

Yu Qinghuan: "Huh??"

The old man chuckled: "Oh, the common people were overly surprised and made a mistake."

Yu Qinghuan thanked the old man again and left. The old man stayed with her to eat, but she only said that she had something to do and shied away from the old man's kindness.

After leaving Nangong's house, Yu Qinghuan met up with Ling, who reported to her: "Princess, my subordinates have contacted Master Wei."

"Master Wei?" As soon as Yu Qinghuan's surprised look showed, the door suddenly opened.

The gray-haired Master Wei appeared in front of Yu Qinghuan.

He glanced at Yu Qinghuan with tears in his eyes, then knelt down with a bang: "Yan Feng has met Miss!"

"Uncle Wei," Yu Qinghuan knelt down quickly and returned the favor three times, "Uncle Wei takes care of his brother and treats him as his own son. He is a great benefactor to us brothers and sisters, and a great benefactor to the Lu family. Mingyu cannot accept Wei." Uncle is so generous."

"I didn't expect..." Mr. Wei Manor burst into tears, "I didn't expect that I would be able to see the young lady in my lifetime. It's really the Marquis' blessing and the Princess' blessing!"

Yu Qinghuan quickly helped him up: "Without Uncle Wei, my brother would not be where he is today, let alone when I met my brother, my brother called Uncle Wei 'father', and Uncle Wei was also Mingyu's father. Please also ask Wei Uncle, don’t be polite to Mingyu.”

Master Wei wiped his tears and looked Yu Qinghuan up and down, but the tears became more and more: "When my subordinates escorted the young master back to the capital to be a hostage, the young lady was not born yet. I didn't expect that she has grown so big now, and her facial features and facial features are so similar. He is a princess, but he looks like a marquis."

Yu Qinghuan helped Master Wei sit down on a chair and poured him a cup of tea: "Uncle Wei, please drink tea."

The owner of Villa Wei quickly stood up and answered: "Miss, I can't do it, I can't do it."

However, Yu Qinghuan knelt down with the tea and respectfully raised the tea to his head: "Mingyu bowed and expressed his gratitude three times. One thanked Uncle Wei for his righteousness and Bo Yuntian for raising his brother to become a talented person. The second thanked Uncle Wei for his bravery and loyalty and dedicated his life to the Lu family. The third thanked Uncle Wei for his loyalty and righteousness. , to preserve the old headquarters for the Lu family."

"Ming Yu pays homage to Chen Sanyuan again. Firstly, he wishes that Uncle Wei will always be in good health. Secondly, he wishes that the Lu family's injustice will be cleared up. Thirdly, he wishes that Uncle Wei will enjoy a peaceful old age."

When Ling saw Yu Qinghuan kneeling down, he also knelt down next to Yu Qinghuan: "Ling also knelt down beside Yu Qinghuan: "Ling also has three wishes. One is that the master and the princess will always be happy, the other is that the government will be clear and clear without traitors, and the third is that the world will be clean and clear. Finally, I thank Wei Zhuang on behalf of the princess. host."

"Good! Safe! Healthy!" Master Wei took the tea into his hand and took a sip with tears, accepting Yu Qinghuan's gratitude.

Yu Qinghuan took the tea cup and put it on the coffee table, and asked, "Why is Uncle Wei here?"

Master Wei said: "A few days ago, I received a letter from your brother saying that you went to Guiyan City, so I took my brothers and rushed to Guiyan City to help you. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got here, my subordinates sent a message saying that someone I came here with the token and decided to take a look in person, but I didn't expect that I would wait until you...Miss, after knowing your identity, I, Wei Yanfeng, have never wanted to see Miss again."

Brother?
It's brother again.

The care and protection given to him by Wei Shu, an elder brother, has gone beyond the care that ordinary brothers give to their sisters.

He is the best and most caring brother in the world!
Yu Qinghuan felt warm in her heart.

After chatting with Master Wei for a while, Yu Qinghuan explained his intention: "Uncle Wei, there is no food in Guiyan City! I have bought a batch of food and clothes from Nangong's family. If they can be transported to Guiyan City smoothly, I will definitely make Guiyan City happy." The soldiers of Yancheng spend this winter."

"But the procedure for requesting officials to transport me is really cumbersome. The soldiers returning to Yancheng can't wait any longer. I also ask Uncle Wei to help me!"

Master Wei agreed without hesitation: "What's the problem? I will take my brothers and deliver the food and clothes to Guiyan City safely."

Yu Qinghuan said worriedly: "I suspect that there is a traitor in the court who is collaborating with the enemy and treason. The rebellion of Xirong is his conspiracy, and his intention is to cause chaos in the world so that he can reap the benefits. So he must not want the food to be transported Going to Guiyan City, the transportation of food, grass, bedding and clothes will inevitably be full of crises."

Master Wei said: "Young lady asked me to transport food and grass. She must have already thought of a countermeasure. May I ask, young lady, what are you going to do?"
