Chapter 456: Attack Chu Nan first, then attack the northwest
Shen Yindi pulled a helpless smile at the corner of her mouth: "Your Highness, our family had quite a lot before, but we have spent a lot in the past six months."
"Ask Uncle Fu. He was in charge of the accounts before."
"But even if we have money, I won't give it to the court. I have to stay and buy food and fodder for you. When we go to war, it will definitely cost a lot of money!"
She spoke her mind.
After working so hard for so long, I am back to the time before liberation, and everything is clean again. I have to find a way to make money!
Mu Ningyuan's family didn't have much money. He was an honest official with incorruptible personalities, and he lived on his salary on a daily basis.
He doesn't spend much normally and has saved some money. He still has to go back and ask his mother.
Generally, his salary, except for some daily expenses, was given to his mother to manage.
Si Qi's attitude towards money has never changed.
But at this moment, she still said very loyally: "I can ask my brother, he should have a lot of money."
"It seems that we have to raise the military pay first before we go to war!" Shen Yindi did not forget to complain.
Now they have to start working hard to make money again.
The King of Chu was quite carefree. He left this mess behind and went to recuperate on his own!
However, he is not suitable for overwork in his current state. He is already unable to do it.
"Yes, this is how it is when marching and fighting. As the saying goes, food and fodder must be sent before troops move forward." Chu Yan's voice was a little low.
He is very experienced in leading troops in battle.
"We have to do it as soon as possible. While they are transforming the city now, we have to take back the territory as soon as possible!"
"The northwest border and the southern border of Chun, aren't there two places? Your Majesty, are you going to attack two places?" Shen Yindi asked again with concern.
In the northwest are the people of Nanyue.
Chu Nan's side is mainly Zhaoyue Kingdom.
"Attack Chunan first, then attack the northwest." Chu Yan has already thought it through.
"If my guess is correct, the Meng family should have given all the money from Da Chu to Yu Ruoyang. With such a huge fortune, Zhaoyue Kingdom will definitely recruit troops and horses. Their current strength should not be underestimated."
"Moreover, the terrain of the southern Chun border is complex. Lord Lin was caught in the trap last time he went there. We must be confident enough to defeat them!" Chu Yan analyzed calmly.
At this time, Lord Lin said: "If we go to Chunan again, I would like to ask for permission to go with you, and we must avenge our previous humiliation."
"Lord Lin has this heart, and I admire him very much."
"But the new emperor will ascend the throne in three days, and my eighth brother is still young, so there must be important protection in the imperial capital. I mean it would be more appropriate for Lord Lin to guard the imperial capital!" Chu Yan said in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he got the support of Mu Ningyuan: "Yun Yi is right. I also think it is better for Lord Lin to stay in the imperial capital."
Lord Lin thought about it and felt that what Chu Yan said made sense.
"In that case, I will stay in the imperial capital to protect the new emperor."
At this time, Lin Shuya said, "Dad, don't worry. If you can't go, your daughter will go in your place! Adi and I will go together too."
Si Qi looked at her elder brother Mu and asked weakly, "Brother Mu, you are the Minister of the Dali Temple. It's not your turn to fight, right?"
Mu Ningyuan looked at Qi'er and couldn't help laughing. He rubbed her head and knew what she was thinking.
"It's definitely not my turn."
"I want to go to war with Adi and the others, but I don't want to be separated from you." Si Qi lowered his voice and whispered to Mu Ningyuan.
"I know what you're thinking. There aren't any major cases in the Dali Temple right now. With the Shaoqing and other deputy envoys in charge, there shouldn't be any problems."
Si Qi's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this: "You mean you can go with us?"
"Yes, I will ask the new emperor for instructions when the time comes. There shouldn't be any problem." Mu Ningyuan said with a smile, his eyes full of doting.
Two people sat together and whispered to each other while others were still discussing.
At this time, Chu Yun said: "Adi, I want to go with you too. I am a good doctor now, and I can be a military doctor when the time comes."
She also wanted to do her part and didn't want to stay in the imperial capital.
"Okay, actually that's what I was thinking. It would be okay for a few of us girls to do some logistical support work when the time comes." Shen Yindi was very happy to see everyone so enthusiastic.
"I won't go. When the time comes, I will return to the mountain stronghold and check the silver to see if there is any surplus. I can then give it to Zhuyue to buy some food and fodder." General Qi said.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan immediately expressed his opinion: "General Qi, there is no need to spend money. I know that your village is not rich and most of the money is used to help the people. I will find a way to pay for the military pay."
"My prince is right. I'm glad you have this intention!" Shen Yindi also responded with a smile.
"Then I will set off back tomorrow to see if there is a chance to do a few jobs and make some money!" General Qi was not pretentious and said generously.
"That's possible." Shen Yindi smiled brightly.
There are still many unscrupulous wealthy businessmen in the Jiangnan area.
After finishing their general talk, they went back to their respective places.
General Qi now lives in the palace, and his subordinates are still outside the city, in Lord Lin’s secret base.
Lin Yuan took the initiative to find Leng Xiao.
He was in the study just now, and there were so many people around, but he didn't say a word.
At this time, the two of them came under the tree in the yard.
Leng Xiao's attitude towards him was still very cold.
"What do you want to tell me?" He put his hands behind his back and his voice was cold.
"My dear nephew, I asked the emperor about your father in the palace today."
Leng Xiao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't say anything and just listened to him continue.
"The emperor himself said that your father's case was an injustice. He will issue an imperial decree to redress your father's innocence, giving him the same treatment as the regent."
"This is a letter from the emperor to you. It contains the letters that the emperor intercepted and framed your father. It was done by Meng. She colluded with the Zhaoyue Kingdom back then! Your father refused to approve people from the Zhaoyue Kingdom to do business in Jiangnan and blocked her way." Lord Lin said earnestly.
"She originally wanted to bribe your father to ask him to help and even protect the people of Zhaoyue Country, but your father was an upright person and refused, so she wanted to get rid of him."
Leng Xiao looked at the letter in his hand with a cold look.
Without saying anything, he flew away directly.
"Dad, what did you say to him? Why did he leave?" Lin Shuya came over and asked with concern.
"The truth about what happened to his father back then has come to light." Lord Lin did not hide anything from his daughter and told her everything.
Lin Shuya's eyes lit up. She was finally going to be vindicated. It wasn't easy!
Now he shouldn't be so hostile towards their family, right?
Here, Shen Yindi and Chu Yan also returned to the room.
Along the way, Shen Yindi seemed to be lost in thought, didn't say a word, and was in an abnormal state.
Chu Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Adi, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Yindi looked up, met his concerned eyes, and said, "I'm wondering how to get the money in a short time?"
