To Rule in a Turbulent World

What Tang Hui lacked was just such an opportunity to send a letter, and You Miao was at a time when both sides met each other. If Tang Hui was not allowed to send it, he had to work hard to clear up the contacts in the capital. It is better to be a favor.

When writing the letter to Zhao Chao, You Miao became more cautious and continued a long paragraph seriously. Since his mother died, few people have treated him as well as Zhao Chao. Li Zhifeng is one of them, but Zhao Chao concerns appear to be different.You Miao understands all these affections.

You Miao knows who treats him well and who looks down on him.He also wrote these words into the letter, and hoped that one day he would be rich and go to Beijing in a good way to help Zhao Chao a little.As it was written, You Miao couldn't help but her eyes turned red and she choked up.

Tang Hui watched from the side, and said, "Brother You, don't be too sad."

"You don't know." You Miao sniffled, sealed the envelope, and said, "Everyone will do the icing on the cake, and giving charcoal in the middle of the day is especially rare."

"That's exactly what I said." Tang Hui said with a smile: "My brother also feels that disappointment is temporary, and there will always be a time to make a comeback."

You Miao nodded and glanced at Li Zhifeng with a smile. Li Zhifeng was still looking serious, standing quietly by the table.

Tang Hui received the letter, and You Miao took the initiative to send him out. Tang Hui thought of something, and asked again: "What are your brothers digging? When I first came here, I saw you were still sitting there. You are the young master, why don't you?" Are you still doing digging?"

You Miao said with a smile: "I want to open a canal. It's winter and the Chinese New Year is over. I can't hire part-time workers. I dig it myself. It's time to exercise."

"Hey!" Tang Hui immediately said: "Do you still need to hire corvees? There are a lot of people there, brother. I will bring you 100 people and dig it in ten and a half months. How long will it take you to dig like this?"

You Miao had known about this earlier, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "No problem, no problem, then thank you big brother. Are you the brothers of the Military Defense Department? How much do you pay a day?"

Tang Hui said: "Why are you talking about money again? Winter training is worrying about having nowhere to go. You don't need money. You haven't thanked you for helping my brother with this..."

"That can't be done." You Miao hurriedly condescended, and Tang Hui said again: "It's true that you don't need to pay wages. The soldiers are all paid. If you don't come to dig this job for you, you have to tear down the house and find something to do. According to my opinion, there is still a lot of wasteland on the top of the mountain, I will send a centurion to lead the brothers to open the wasteland for you..."

You Miao was elated immediately, rushed forward and hugged Tang Hui's waist and shouted: "You are my brother! Take whatever calligraphy and painting you like! Order whatever tea you want!"

Tang Hui couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Don't say it, it's okay to shout about this brother and brother, but don't let it go when you arrive in the capital, the one in Yande Palace is your brother..."

You Miao hugged Tang Hui and rubbed and patted him. The whole person wanted to get into his arms and act like a baby, so he almost kissed him a few times. Tang Huijun blushed and said, "Okay, okay, I will let the brothers kiss you in a few days." Come here, there is still a moat outside the state capital to be repaired, and my brother has to be a supervisor, so people will not come, I will send you a good talker..."

You Miao hurriedly said: "Don't bother you to make another trip. When the brothers come over, I will treat them to a drink, and I will cover all the meals here."

Tang Hui nodded, got on his horse and said goodbye to You Miao, and rode away.

These soldiers are real people, You Miao thought that dealing with them is different from that group of civil servants, as long as you treat generals like Tang Hui a little better, the other party really wants to give you their lives.

"Great!" When You Miao returned to the villa, she pushed Li Zhifeng onto the couch, and got into his arms to rub and roll around.

The next day, You Miao got up and went out with Li Zhifeng in person, bringing 30 taels of silver to buy rations for the 100 people. Li Zhifeng asked, "Will there be too many people?"

You Miao was too happy yesterday, but now she suddenly realized that it seems a little too much. Fortunately, she only needs to raise her for ten days and half a month. If she raises her for a year, she will have to eat herself poorly.One catty of rice per person per day is one hundred catties a day...nearly one tael of silver.This is not counting pork and vegetables, etc., and you have to drink alcohol!

Tang Hui alone manages tens of thousands of soldiers and pays money from the account of the state government. It is really a big expense for so many people to eat and drink.

Even if you don’t pay wages to open a canal, you can’t get it without 50 taels of silver.Every time You Miao counted the money, she regretted spending too much money in the capital before, 50 taels of silver, playing with crickets for a while, please eat, and the water price will be gone.

Li Zhifeng was bargaining at the vegetable shop and bought a large cart of radishes and two whole butchered pigs. Seeing You Miao glanced at him, he asked, "What's the matter?"

You Miao said, "You are worth five canals."

Li Zhifeng smiled and said, "When Li Yan bought me back, it only cost 12 taels."

You Miao screamed: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Li Zhifeng said lightly: "I don't want you to feel that buying me is too expensive, and you will feel troubled."

You Miao was speechless.

Gritting his teeth, he spent all he had to spend, and bought four more mules, four carts, and dragged a cart of radishes, potatoes, bacon and sausages, and a cart of wine back.

This is only half of it, and I have to come back and move it again later.

Two delays in this way are only enough to feed 100 people for half a month.

You Miao spent her 30 taels, and Li Zhifeng's 20 taels, and hired a few coachmen to drive back.When he arrived at the gate of Deshanzhuang, the centurion had already arrived with a hundred soldiers.

You Miao smiled and said, "This is it? It came so fast, what's your name?"

The centurion said: "Young Master You just call me Wang Gou'er, Lord Tang personally ordered me to come here..."

You Miao hurriedly said: "Brother Wang just call me You Miao, come here, brothers, please come here."

Captain Wang meant to dig when he came, but You Miao couldn't stop saying that he was full enough to work, so he dragged the group of soldiers into Shenyuan.You Miao saw her father repairing the Biyu Mountain Villa, so she had to let go and treat the craftsmen to a meal. After the tooth sacrifice, they could let them go to work, and they had another meal when the work was finished.

Captain Wang also asked his subordinates to bring ten days' rations, but You Miao refused, and first ordered to start the stove and cook the pot, and unload the two whole pigs to stew. As soon as Daliang came out, seeing the battle, he immediately smiled and said: , the young master is going to benefit future generations? This battle is huge enough, do we have something to eat?"

"Yes, yes." You Miao said, "Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, so come and help!"

So the soldiers helped to cook, and You Miao took Captain Wang to fetch wine, saying, "Drink some good wine and warm up your body."

You Miao took out the ten altar top prizes and asked people to move the table to the courtyard. If it was not enough, he sent someone to Li Zhuang and others to borrow a stool. It was like a festival, and let the soldiers drink and eat meat to have a full meal.

When Zhuangyuanhong opened the altar, the strong aroma of wine startled the soldiers to applaud loudly. They were all rough and didn't care about anything else.
