After returning to the military camp, Qian Ruoyu pulled Jin Lianhua in front of her again and spoke to her.
"It seems that although the villages a little further away are very close to the capital, there are still evil people in the villages. In this case, I will send you to uphold justice now."
After hearing what she said, Jin Lianhua immediately became energetic.
After all, Jin Lianhua really likes this kind of thing and she can't wait to do it herself. Now that she has heard the princess' request, her eyes naturally light up.
"Take fifty bandit-suppression soldiers with you and go to a village a little further away from the capital. Recruit soldiers and solve the problems in the village."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Lianhua nodded quickly.
Afterwards, Qian Ruoyu returned to the palace in the capital. At this time there was a more important issue, which was about the military rations for the bandit-suppression army.
Therefore, she immediately sought out Wang Po and Zhang Ma, because they were responsible for purchasing in the palace and naturally knew how to solve the problem of food.
"Greetings, Her Majesty." The two said respectfully.
Qian Ruoyu then said calmly and directly: "You two don't have to worry so much. After all, we have known each other for a long time. Why are you still so fussy about trivial matters!"
After the curator said this, the two of them looked at her with a smile.
"You two, talk about it. I need a large amount of food right now. I wonder if you can help me find where I can buy more food?"
Just after she finished speaking, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang started talking separately.
"Princess, isn't this simple? Just go to the market and buy a lot of rice. Haven't you thought of this?"
"That's right, Princess, this is so simple. No matter how much you need, you can definitely buy it in the market in Beijing!"
After hearing what the two people said, Qian Ruoyu walked away in surprise, feeling amused at his own stupidity.
"Haha, I see. If you two hadn't reminded me, I would still be kept in the dark. Thank you so much."
"In that case, I'll trouble you two to go buy them. I need a huge amount this time!"
She did some calculations in her mind and figured out that the amount of food consumed by five thousand people every day would be at least five thousand kilograms!
If calculated based on one month, then naturally 150,000 kilograms of grain rice would be needed.
This was an extremely large amount, but Qian Ruoyu still told it to the two of them.
After hearing this, the two were both stunned, but she had no intention of letting Aunt Zhang and Grandma Wang relax.
"Listen carefully, both of you. How about you go to the market in the capital and buy 150,000 kilograms of rice, a total of 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms, and then have them deliver it to the camp in the east of the city? Have you thought it through?"
Although the two were shocked by this huge number, they still nodded and responded to Qian Ruoyu at this moment.
It was after this that Qian Ruoyu finally relaxed a lot. After all, if the food problem was solved, he would have more people at his disposal.
Just as the sun was setting in the afternoon, Jin Lianhua finally came back and told Qian Ruoyu.
"Your Majesty is so kind. I gained a lot from this trip!"
Hearing these words suddenly, she naturally found it hard to believe, and Jin Lianhua continued.
"First of all, I have recruited 1,400 people for you. All of them have signed up and are on their way to the military camp."
"In addition to this, I also received a total of 80,000 taels of silver and 9,000 taels of gold. I obtained these through legitimate means and did not cheat or deceive anyone!"
"The third point is that I also obtained a batch of grain from various villages. This batch of grain weighs about 60,000 kilograms."
When Qian Ruoyu heard the battle reports, she couldn't believe it. She never expected that the golden lotus in front of her would bring back so many good things for her.
Among them, 60,000 kilograms of grain alone was not a small number, but Jin Lianhua was able to bring it all back, which made Qian Ruoyu feel extremely moved. He realized that Jin Lianhua was no longer just his right-hand man, but had become a woman who could stand on her own.
"Well done, I didn't expect you to have such a good harvest this time, it's really great!"
She praised him generously, "You did a great job this time, and you have recruited so many people for us. It seems that Jiao Beijing will be completely established soon. In this case, do you need any reward?"
After hearing this, Jin Lianhua shook her head.
"My lady, what are you talking about?"
"It is my duty to do things for you. I don't ask for any reward. Being able to stay by your side is enough. Only by being by your side can I know what happiness is!"
"Haha, if my father comes to look for me in the future, I'd better not go back with him. In Beijing, there's food, drink, and fun to do. I can do so many things and I'm so happy. Why should I go back to Jiangnan?"
After seeing her attitude, Qian Ruoyu felt more certain in her heart that Jin Lianhua did not deceive her and was more willing to stay by her side.
However, Qian Ruoyu could not have expected that Jin Lianhua would not even want a reward. After all, Jin Lianhua already had tens of thousands of taels of silver in her hands at that moment.
These factors can be considered a huge amount of money for her. After all, Jin Lianhua doesn't spend much money on a normal basis.
Qian Ruoyu thought about it for a while before saying this to her.
"It seems that I am superficial. In that case, you can stay by my side anytime you want."
"You did a good job this time. In that case, let's arrange the next task, which is to send some of the palace guards to the camp and let them serve as temporary instructors."
"Half of the palace guards will stay in the palace for the time being. At the same time, we need to increase the number of palace guards. I thought it would be best if the number could reach 300."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Lianhua looked directly over, because she had never expected that the queen would require a full 300 guards for the palace. That was no small force!
