Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 70
General Zhang nodded in satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and looked back at Chen Yi inquiringly.

"Let's set off first and talk as we go."

General Zhang didn't feel any embarrassment when he heard what Chen Yi said, and he turned around and ordered Gao Sheng: "Let's go, let's go."

After speaking, he got on the horse first.

The posture is clean and neat, without muddling.Showing military demeanor,
The team marched mightily.

During these days, the troops led by General Zhang were all stationed outside the city. Some of them had to join the army outside the city before going to the border together.

Chen Yi also prepared a horse for himself, followed General Zhang on the horse, and then slowly drove the horse to General Zhang's side.

"The general doesn't know, I sent my servants to buy these supplies."

Yes, Uncle Cao was responsible for purchasing those cars these days.

General Zhang frowned. There is a special department to purchase the military supplies of the imperial court. Why did Chen Shilang send his servants to buy them?Is this plausible?

"What's the reason for this?"

General Zhang didn’t know what to say. Let’s just accuse him. He worked so hard to buy me so many supplies. It’s hard work without credit.

But if he was asked to praise and praise something that was unreasonable and legal, General Zhang would not be able to say it.

Fortunately, what is the reason?
"Naturally there are purchasing officials in the imperial court, but when the money is in my hands, I wish I could split a penny in half and spend it in half. How could I let them go for money? Now the price of these fabrics is not high in remote villages. Very expensive."

General Zhang seemed to have a little understanding, he didn't say a word, and continued to listen!

"The people in this village have very little money for food and clothing. One tael of silver is enough for a family of seven or eight people to live for a year, so in fact, these 100 taels of silver are really a lot."

General Zhang also knows this, but the cost of soldiers is the best, how can it be compared with the lives of ordinary people?
"I asked the housekeeper to leave the imperial capital and go to nearby villages to buy some good materials, and then find people to process them locally. That's why so many supplies appeared in these five days."

General Zhang was full of surprise: "Is there such a big gap between them? These damned people embezzled so much money, aren't they afraid of thunder?"

Knowing that General Zhang had misunderstood, Chen Yi smiled and shook his head.

"Actually, although the gap is big, it is not as exaggerated as it is now. The officials who bought the goods were all ordered in the imperial capital. The price will naturally double, and they will get some extra money."

When Chen Yi said this, he paused, bowed his head and calculated.

"So the 100 taels, in the end it was only 30 taels. It was the real money for the clothes. What was the 30 taels in the imperial capital? Buy some."

Only then did General Zhang suddenly realize, and he understood how much Chen Yi had put into it.

He immediately clasped his fists on the horse and said, "I misunderstood Chen Shilang too much before. Please don't mind, Chen Shilang."

Chen Yi smiled generously and waved his hands: "The general is a man of temperament, and he is dedicated to his soldiers. I understand that the general misunderstood before, but I actually admire him."

Hearing what Chen Yi said, General Zhang was taken aback for a moment before he realized it, and finally he laughed.

"I heard before that Chen Shilang is a pillar of talent, but I thought other people were a little exaggerated, but now that I see it, I deeply admire it. I was short-sighted before."

Chen Yi waved his hand.

"General Zhang, let's stop flattering each other. We will spend more time together in the future. I hope General Zhang can take care of us."

General Zhang nodded with a smile: "Okay, happy! Don't call me General Zhang, it sounds too polite, you can call me by my name, I'm safe."

Chen Yi immediately opened his mouth and said his own words: "Chen Yi, the style is Zishang."

General Zhang nodded, glanced at the supplies behind him, turned around and continued to ask.

"Zi Shang, how should I buy this military ration? What's so special about it?"

Hearing this, Chen Yi sighed.

"Before I bought clothes, there was a lot of noise, so the merchants in the nearby villages and towns received the news and raised the price of food a lot, so I feel that being slaughtered here, it's better for us to buy while walking."

General Zhang had a wry smile on his face when he heard this, this was not the first time they met.

In fact, this is considered good, at least it just raised the price of goods. They had encountered rotten rice before, and the rice was all bad. After eating it, the soldiers fell ill for several days.

This is simply cannibalism.

General Zhang then thought of something again, and a worried expression appeared on his face.

"Shilang Chen, you don't know that the forces above the imperial court are spread all over the country. If we go west, I am afraid that the price of rice and grain may not be able to come down, and we may be trapped."

A confident smile flashed across Chen Yi's face, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said with a smirk.

"Brother Pingan, don't worry, I have already considered this, so I have asked His Majesty for an order before I leave, and you can take care of it when the time comes."

When General Zhang heard this, most of his heart was relieved.

At this time, he has discovered that Chen Yi is not as impulsive and irritable as he thought before, regardless of the consequences. Instead, he is thorough and meticulous.

It's completely different from the one who quarreled with the empress before, just like two people.

General Zhang said whatever he thought of, without hiding it, and asked directly. Chen Yi was taken aback when he heard General Zhang's question, and then thought for a while.

Like a sigh, and a little sigh.

"Brother Ping'an, to be honest, at the very beginning, I was really filled with righteous indignation. I didn't think about anything at that time, and just followed my own temper. But later, I found out that this can actually win His Majesty's favor." focus on."

General Zhang couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Chen Yi didn't stop when he said this, and continued to talk.

"You can ask Your Majesty to pay attention to me and leave this matter to me. I know that my abilities are limited, but I think it is better than leaving it to those who don't want to do things for the people. I can do whatever I can."

When Chen Yi said this, he turned his head and looked at General Zhang.

"I don't know how to think like this, right? I always feel that doing this is better than doing nothing, but it's much better to hold back. I also know that I am impulsive, but if I don't impulsive those people, who will be impulsive for them? "
