The Village Doctress Chapter 585: Borrow money for the court

After temporarily resolving this matter, the situation in the northwest has to be resolved. Several vassal states in the northwest are also trying to kill each other, and they are all coveting the fertile land and rich products of the Great Wei Dynasty.

If this is not the case, even if the Emperor Bei Rong secretly issued an order, they can still obey the order and obey the order, after all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

The current situation is that those vassal states have accumulated the most elite forces in the country and plan to attack and test Wei.

Fortunately, Lin Fufu had already prepared and notified Feng Lan to prepare for the war on the Beirong side. Old General Feng and Feng Lan and his wife had already made preparations, but food, fodder and military pay were a big problem.

Huangfu Jin also knew about the embarrassing situation of Old General Feng, and had already made plans to ask Old Wei to take part of the dividends that Lin Fufu had left with him over the years and send them to Old General Feng in the name of Lin Fufu. Over there, and asked General Feng to issue an IOU to Lin Fufu on behalf of the Wei court.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Several vassal states in the northwest acted quickly and jointly sent troops to suppress the border.

Old General Feng and the generals guarding the frontier quickly reported the situation of the war to the Great Wei court. On the second day, all the officials in the Great Wei court knew that the vassal state of Beirong, like the Great Wei, had started a war.

The courtiers of the Great Wei were arguing, and they were all denouncing Bei Rong for being unethical, but the Great Wei had just sent a team of imperial doctors to help them eliminate the plague!

His Majesty the Emperor of Wei also had an angry face, and Princess Ruoshui had a cold face, she really did not expect the vassal states of Beirong to start a war against Wei.

As a seasoned politician, Princess Ruoshui naturally understood that without the nod of Emperor Beirong, those vassal states would not have dared to go to war against Wei.

When Lin Fufu came back from Beirong, he had already told her about the plot of the old emperor of Beirong against Wei. Such a ruthless character actually used the vassal state to confront the Great Wei head-on!

There was a lot of noise in the hall of the Great Wei Dynasty, and no one came out of the noise. The Ministry of War was determined to send troops to the vassal states of Beirong, but the Minister of the Ministry of Household said that there was no money, and the people in the Ministry of War were crushed to death. dead.

There is no silver in the treasury, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

After retiring from the imperial court, His Majesty the Emperor didn't even have the energy to discuss with Princess Ruoshui, so Princess Ruoshui had no choice but to return to the Princess Palace.

Lin Fufu didn't dare to tell Princess Ruoshui that Huangfu Ling had actually brought an army of 200,000 troops to kill her, and was stopped by the plague and Huangfu Jin.

Princess Ruoshui came to Lin Fufu, and asked Lin Fufu in a dejected way if he had any good ideas.

Lin Fufu thought for a while, and sent her a letter to Feng Lan. Now General Feng has already brought his men to the north and told Princess Ruoshui.

Princess Ruoshui cheered up when she heard the words, and she repeatedly praised Lin Fufu as a stroke of genius, but Lin Fufu was worried that she would send a letter to Feng Lan privately to ask General Feng to dispatch troops, and the court would punish Feng if she knew about it. The old general and his party.

Princess Ruoshui coldly snorted, "Who dares to hold on to this kind of thing at this time? Whoever dares to do this, I will kill him!"

Princess Ruoshui is actually shouting for God's blessing in her heart. There are many famous generals in Wei, but in terms of loyalty to the country, she only believes in old general Feng. With him to support the northern frontier, she believes that Wei will be safe.

However, Lin Fufu still brought up the issue of food, grass and military pay. Not only is the military salary of General Feng, but also the transfer of soldiers from other places to the northern frontier will require a huge amount of food and grass and at least several million taels of silver The military pay.

Lin Fufu knew that Wei's treasury could not afford food and soldiers' money.

But what should be reminded still needs to be reminded.

Princess Ruoshui also knows that food and military pay are the most important things, but the current situation is that she is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

"From this point of view, I can only count on Old General Feng to die. Even if I allocate the soldiers' salary and food, it will take time." Princess Ruoshui looked at Lin Lin with dull eyes. Gospel, at this time, she actually had the desire to rely on this fifteen or sixteen-year-old child.

Lin Fufu did not let her down. She had already thought of a way to deal with it while her mind was spinning rapidly.

"Auntie, don't worry. Although the national treasury is out of money at this time, the families of the powerful officials and nobles all have it. And the warehouses of the houses of the big businessmen are full. Borrow money from them in name!"

"Borrow money from them in the name of the court?" Princess Ruoshui repeated Lin Fufu's words in a murmur. To be honest, it has never happened before the court borrowed money from those people. Princess Ruoshui can't guarantee it at all. Can this plan work.

Lin Fufu nodded heavily, and said with great confidence: "This matter will definitely work, but you need to feel wronged, Auntie, and personally bring the Secretary of the Household Department and others to borrow from them, and take the seal of the Ministry of Household Bring it."

Princess Ruoshui looked at Lin Fufu and asked in disbelief: "In this way, can I really borrow it?"

"Sure! Auntie, you can tell them that it is the moment of life and death for the Great Wei. If the Great Wei cannot resist in the northwest, the million cavalry of Bei Rong will definitely march south. If the country does not exist, no one can escape. No matter how much money those people have, the Bei Rong has robbed them?"

Actually, if things really develop as Lin Fufu said, those people will not only be robbed of their money, but their family members will also be robbed, and the lives of these men may be lost.

Princess Ruoshui closed her eyes hard, she was thinking more cruelly than what Lin Fufu said, "I will do it!"

Princess Ruoshui didn't eat lunch that day, so she took the household minister, the left and right servants and other high-ranking household officials with the seal of the household department to borrow money from the high-ranking officials.

To Princess Ruoshuichang's surprise, every house she visited happily lent silver to the court, but the amount was not large, a few thousand taels of silver was the norm, and rarely more than ten thousand taels of silver.

Actually, this is only borrowed for the sake of Princess Ruoshui.

Princess Ruoshui was tired for a long time, but in the end she only borrowed more than 300,000 taels of silver for the court.

When Princess Ruoshui returned to the Princess Palace, her face was very ugly, and Lin Fufu was also very angry when she saw this.

"Oh! Those moths of the Great Wei, they are not willing to lend money to the court..." Princess Ruoshui sat down dejectedly, and said this in grief and indignation.

Lin Fufu was also angry.

Those people are afraid that they will not shed tears when they see the coffin!

"Auntie, hurry up and enter the palace again, and ask for the imperial edict from the emperor's uncle. Tomorrow, let those officials with wealthy families and their wives and children enter the palace!" Lin Fufu said with his eyes blazing. .

Princess Ruoshui was stunned, she got up and looked at Lin Fufu and asked, "Girl, what are you doing?"
