Chapter 234 You rebellious son, she is your sister-in-law!
Xiu Lingce went back to his own yard.
Yu Zongqian was brought in to see Xiu Luoran. Xiu Luoran looked at Yu Zongqian:
"How did you get here so quickly? Shouldn't you be in the Southern Province?"
Even if he ran to the capital as soon as he received the letter, running day and night, he couldn't reach the capital now.
Yu Zongqian smiled and said, "Miss, your letter went through our warehouse channel. When I received the letter, I was not in Nan Province, but in Tongqing Prefecture, which is less than 2,000 miles away from the capital."
Xiu Luoran understood.
"After I received the letter, I immediately asked the warehouse staff to deliver the letter to Southern Province and asked them to organize the supply of goods and send them to the capital as soon as possible.
I came to see Miss *, mainly to ask for someone."
He came to see Xiu Luoran this time with a lot of things to do.
Xiu Luoran nodded: "Go on."
“Miss, from the capital to the southern border, we have built a total of 22 warehouses in six provinces.
Because the situation in each province is different, the size of the warehouse and the number of management personnel are also different.
All warehouses are completed and ready for use.
Because this is our first time transporting goods, we are afraid that someone will bully us.
Therefore, please find some more martial artists, the more the better, preferably six or seven for each warehouse."
Xiu Luoran thought for a moment and said, "Are six or seven enough?"
Yu Zongqian was a little embarrassed: "To be honest, it's really not enough. I'm just worried that the young lady won't be able to find so many martial artists in a short time."
"Don't worry about that. We have as many people who know martial arts as you want."
Apart from anything else, most of the old soldiers and wounded soldiers her father raised knew martial arts.
Although some of them are older and some have minor injuries, it is still possible to let them protect the goods.
If there is a war at the border, these people can go to the battlefield.
Yu Zongqian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Miss, it will be easy now that we have people. Let me calculate how many people we need."
A larger warehouse requires fifty people, a smaller one requires thirty.
Some people deliver goods with the caravan, some guard the warehouse, and some go out to get supplies. If not, it won't be enough.
After finishing the calculation, Yu Zongqian carefully asked Xiu Luoran:
"Miss, are there a thousand people?"
Yu Zongqian actually wants so much.
But when you consider that they have built more than 20 warehouses, these people are not too many.
"I do have the person, but I don't know if my father can give it to me. Wait a minute, I'll go ask my eldest brother if this is against the law."
Those people are all soldiers.
Xiu Lingce listened to Xiu Luoran's words and nodded:
"That's no problem. These veterans and wounded soldiers in our Xiu Family Army have always been taken care of by our Xiu Family.
They don’t have much to do every day except training, so asking them to help you is also a way to have something to do.”
Xiu Luoran came back and told Yu Zongqian that he could be given 1,200 people and asked him to make proper arrangements.
Yu Zongqian was excited. On the battlefield, anyone who could lead more than a thousand people should be considered a high-ranking official, right?
From today on, Yu Zongqian is also a commander of troops.
"Miss, can I take them away now? I guess the goods from Southern Province may have already started to be shipped to the capital.
There is no one to protect them, what if someone is blind enough to cause trouble for them..."
"I'm afraid we can't take the men away now. Although we can use these soldiers, more than a thousand people are too many. My father has to report to the emperor and ask for instructions."
If we don't warn people in advance, this matter will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, who will say that the Xiu family is hoarding private soldiers to rebel. By then, we won't be able to explain ourselves even if we have a lot of tricks.
The emperor did not make things difficult for Xiu Yuancang and agreed readily.
Logically speaking, these soldiers fought for the country, and when they got old, injured or disabled, they should be supported by the court.
It is already very difficult for the Xiu family to support these soldiers.
Now the Xiu family wants these soldiers to help do some work and earn money, there's nothing wrong with that.
That afternoon, Yu Zongqian led a group of old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in tattered clothes, and left the capital city in a shabby manner, heading south.
The sudden appearance of this team of soldiers immediately attracted the extreme attention of all major forces in the capital.
After asking around with the team, we quickly found out what had happened, and then no one paid attention to the team's movements anymore.
In addition to giving it to others, Xiu Luoran also gave Yu Zong 11 million taels of silver notes as capital.
She told Yu Zongqian that he could go to Lei Hanting and buy some obsolete war horses to ration the soldiers.
If there is an urgent order, we can deliver it on horseback.
……
Qian'an Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Yi Dingyao widened his eyes and looked at his fifth son Yi Jingxuan who was kneeling below:
"What did you just say? Say it again."
Yi Jingxuan kowtowed again and said very seriously:
"Father, I would like to ask you to grant me a marriage with Miss Xiu Luoran from the Zhenxi Marquisate."
Yi Dingyao slammed the dragon table and shouted:
"You rebellious son, she is your fourth sister-in-law!"
Yi Jingxuan was not frightened by the emperor's roar:
“Father, you also know that Fourth Brother and she have different personalities, and both of them have called off the engagement many times.
Rather than forcing them to be together and making them unhappy, it is better to give me a chance. "
"That girl doesn't like your fourth brother, so how can she like you?"
Although Yi Dingyao was blaming Yi Jingxuan, he was thinking in his heart that he had always disagreed with Yi Jingyang and Xiu Luoran breaking off the engagement because he remembered Kuang Jixian's words that Xiu Luoran must marry into the royal family.
When Xiu Luoran married Yi Jingyang, she married into the royal family; when she married Yi Jingxuan, she also married into the royal family.
Thinking this way, the problem that had troubled him for a long time suddenly had a solution.
The depression in his heart disappeared and his mood became very good.
However, he didn't want Yi Jingxuan to see his emotions, so he kept a stern face.
Yi Jingxuan felt helpless when he thought of Xiu Luoran's ambiguous attitude towards him.
"Father, please give me a year."
"One year? Can you guarantee one year for that girl to agree to marry you?"
"Don't worry, Father. If I can't do it, I will withdraw automatically and won't drag my feet."
Yi Dingyao saw that Yi Jingxuan didn't seem to be joking, so he thought, this is a good opportunity to test him.
"Old Fifth, do you know that if you marry the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenxi, you will have no chance of that position?"
Yi Jingxuan: "Father, I cannot stand being restrained or sitting on a bench, so I am not destined to be that kind of person.
I really want to be like Xiu Luoran, to go wherever I want and do what I like, how comfortable that would be."
Yi Dingyao thought of Xiu Luoran's bold and unrestrained personality, and realized that he was quite a good match for Lao Wu.
"Old Five, have you thought it through?"
