Chapter 413 Military Rations



Afterwards, Qian Ruoyu directly took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote the IOU on it, clearly stating the amount of two thousand taels of silver, but the signature was the three words "Prime Minister's Mansion".

When Lord Wang saw the signature, he was shocked. He had never thought that Qian Ruoyu would use the three words "Prime Minister's Mansion" as the signature.

Qian Ruoyu said very calmly.

"Why, Lord Wang, is there anything different? If you feel there is anything wrong, please feel free to speak up."

Lord Wang naturally quickly pointed at the three words "Prime Minister's Mansion", and after seeing this scene, Qian Ruoyu still looked calm and confident.

Qian Ruoyu's confidence naturally made Lord Wang feel much calmer, and then Qian Ruoyu said this.

"Of course. If not the Prime Minister's Office, what else can we use? Are you going to tell everyone that it was the Princess who asked you to borrow money?"

"Neither His Majesty nor our prince will show up casually in this matter. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a huge disgrace?"

"If you embarrass us, you'll be in trouble, so I have no choice but to use the three words 'Prime Minister's Mansion' as a substitute. If you want to pay back the money in the future, you only need to show me this IOU."

After hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Lord Wang finally believed it completely.

And it was only after this that Qian Ruoyu received the full two thousand taels of silver from Lord Wang.

Qian Ruoyu did not stop, but sent Jinlianhua back and asked Jinlianhua to pull a carriage over.

Then a carriage with four horses stopped at the gate of the palace.

Qian Ruoyu put all the two thousand taels of silver into the carriage and prepared to continue to the next house.

The reason why there are four horses is because Qian Ruoyu wants to use this carriage directly to fill the entire box and then take away all the silver.

Qian Ruoyu had already planned it out. If she did this, she would not suffer any consequences or punishment.

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu felt happy in his heart. After all, it was in the name of the Prime Minister's Office, and if there were any problems, it would be the Prime Minister's Office that would bear the consequences, and it had nothing to do with him at all.

Also, because there is a plague at the moment, it is rare to see people on the road, especially in this place, which is originally a gathering place for wealthy families. Naturally, there are no ordinary people gathering here, and no one can see evidence of his presence here.

Afterwards, Qian Ruoyu continued to borrow money from one family after another and wrote down his IOUs casually, and almost no one would doubt what Qian Ruoyu did.

In just one afternoon, Qian Ruoyu had borrowed a full 50,000 taels of silver.

The carriage was already packed to the brim, and most importantly, the stone horses on the carriage looked as if they were struggling.

Seeing that all of them were full, Qian Ruoyu was even more satisfied. He then brought the carriage and golden lotus to the military camp outside the capital.

After all, it was Qian Ruoyu who was able to enter freely and directly pulled a large carriage into the central military avenue.

Chu Mobai was even more surprised when he suddenly saw Qian Ruoyu arriving. When Chu Mobai walked out and saw a large carriage parked in front of his door, his face became a little more angry.

Although he had forgiven Qian Ruoyu, Chu Mobai still felt a little unhappy about what Qian Ruoyu had done, so he mentioned it at this time.

"What are you doing?"

Qian Ruoyu clapped her hands at Jin Lianhua beside her and quickly opened the curtain of the carriage.

Afterwards, when the keys were pulled open, a large amount of silver inside actually rolled down from the horse, and several hundred taels of silver rolled down at once.

After seeing this scene, the surrounding soldiers also started to stir and looked over one by one.

"Why am I here? Of course I'm here to give you military funds!"

"I collected these fifty thousand taels of silver for you. No need to thank me. Just treat it as your military expenses. Let your people take it!"

Chu Mobai, who originally had little money, felt a little moved when he saw this scene.

Chu Mobai never thought that Qian Ruoyu would help him do such a thing in her spare time.

Especially since he didn't have much silver in his hand at the moment, Qian Ruoyu actually took out so much silver. Chu Mobai didn't know what to say for a moment.

But Qian Ruoyu looked calm.

"What's wrong? Do you think the silver is too much and you don't want it? If you don't want it, I will send it back to the palace immediately. After all, there are still a large number of people in the palace who are hungry for food."

"Besides, you have already emptied the palace's money. If it weren't for me, I don't know what would happen to the palace now..."

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, Chu Mobai instantly felt a little guilty. After all, there were hundreds of people in the palace who needed to eat, and he had indeed taken away a large amount of money from the palace.

All the money and a large amount of rice had already been taken to the military camp by him, and before that he had not considered what to do with them at all. Instead, he left behind all the people in the palace.

Now after hearing what Qian Ruoyu's secretary said, he naturally felt even more guilty, and was speechless for a moment.

"Thank you so much. We don't have much military rations now. If you hadn't brought so much silver..."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu immediately asked.

"How long can the military rations last?"

Chu Mobai shook his head.

"It can probably only hold out for three days, let alone support the army's march... The money from the Ministry of Revenue has not been received yet, and I don't know what those people in the Ministry of Revenue are doing at this moment..."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu decided to help Chu Mobai and ask the people in the Ministry of Revenue to send the money over as soon as possible. After all, those people in the Ministry of Revenue just sat there every day and did nothing.

"Okay, don't worry about this matter. I will find a way to help you solve the problem of the Ministry of Revenue. You can first keep all the 50,000 taels of silver and see if it will be of any help to you. As for the silver from the Ministry of Revenue, I will find a way to solve it..."

After hearing these words, Chu Mobai was naturally confused. He never expected Qian Ruoyu to want to help here and there. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Qian Ruoyu's face was very calm, and she looked at Chu Mobai with a smile, which made Chu Mobai feel extremely relieved at this moment.
