Chapter 428 On the Eve of Returning to Beijing
In order to make it easier for Dong Fenghuang and others to investigate, Su Yue directly used the Su family for some industries, and directly used Murong Li's Sihai Bank for the money house. As long as they checked, they would know that they were theirs.
The purpose is to let Emperor Dong Feng know clearly that they have a sharp knife hanging over his head, so he should not do anything unexpected.
Moreover, Murong Li transferred the head of the Qi family from Northwest County and put him in charge of the industry of Dongfeng Kingdom.
Northwest County is now impregnable, and there is not much point in having the head of the Qi family stay there. Instead, it would be a waste of his talent, so he should be pulled out to directly manage the entire Dongfeng Kingdom's industry.
The head of the Qi family was familiar with these industries. When he set out, the supplies followed him from the Northwest County. Once they arrived in the East Feng Kingdom, these things would be on the market within two days.
The Qi family head managed the business well, causing a sensation in the entire market that day, and the profits were jaw-dropping.
Su Yue only then realized that as the most powerful country, Dongfeng Kingdom not only had money in its imperial court, but also in its people.
Su Yue made money and did not lose out to the head of the Qi family. He did not manage the Dongfeng Kingdom's industries in vain, and 10% of the profits of all industries was given to him.
Don't underestimate this 10%, the profit of this 10% is quite considerable.
This time, the head of the Qi family did not refuse and accepted it with pleasure.
He also understood the intentions of Murong Li and the others. He would only take care of it if it was his own property.
He accepted it to reassure Murong Li and the others, and also to allow himself to be more attentive.
"Murongli, when will we return to the capital?"
The emperor had received the letter and knew that Murong Li had been named the crown prince. He would be given the title as soon as he returned and the news would be announced to the world.
An Yi's letter had arrived earlier, and they also knew the situation in the capital. Murong Yi was stripped of his prince title, demoted to a commoner, and now imprisoned in the clan house.
As for the emperor's physical condition, An Yi said in the letter that the emperor's physical condition was very bad. It seemed fine on the surface, but in fact it was terrible. He could only live for another half a year at most. He hoped that they could go back as soon as possible.
Su Yue sighed for a while. Originally, the emperor could have lived for more than ten years without any problem, but because of Murong Yi's actions, he only had half a year left.
The fate of this emperor is really speechless.
However, Su Yue felt that Murong Li's throne was important, and border affairs could be left to the secret guards to handle, so she suggested going back.
"No rush, wait another two months before going back."
Murong Li replied that within two months, many matters at the border could be properly arranged. If he returned in a hurry now, many things would be left unfinished.
If we go back at that time, the emperor will not be dead yet, so it is still not too late.
"How about I go back first and see how long the emperor's body can hold out."
Su Yue thought about it and said that there was really no one in charge in the capital, and she felt uneasy.
Although Murong Yi is finished, isn't there still a Murong Jing? He is a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, who can jump out and bite you at any time. If he jumps out at this time, it will be a big trouble again.
"Okay, then go back and take a look. Come back when we need to plant seeds here."
Su Yue shook her head: "No, it will be time to plant the seeds in half a month. I'll leave everything here. As long as they are properly stored, they can be used when the time comes."
The capital city is too far away from here. Even if there are secret guards to take her there and back, it will still take ten days to go there and back. She will only be in the capital city for a few days in between, so there is no need at all.
"Okay, then I'll have someone prepare it, and you keep the things."
"Um."
After the two of them discussed it, Murong Li went to find a place to store the supplies. The supplies for more than 100,000 people could not be stored in a small place.
He had to check whether the granary that had been built earlier was completed so that the supplies could be put in.
Su Yue entered the space and prepared everything she needed.
Fortunately, the chicken and pig sheds in the camp have been repaired, and the piglets have been put in, so there is no need to prepare in this regard.
What she had to prepare was the food needed by the soldiers at the border. This was the most important and the largest amount.
It is estimated that it will take three months to prepare. If one hundred thousand soldiers use it for three months, the inventory in the space will be almost emptied, mainly because a lot of it has been used before.
Su Yue sighed. With such a large space and so many things, it would take more than half a year to support 100,000 people.
Therefore, it is necessary to let the soldiers at the border be self-sufficient.
When I have free time in the future, I will visit the other three border checkpoints and if it is feasible, I will have them implement the same policy.
The soldiers at the four borders of Xifeng Kingdom, not including the troops in the capital, add up to as many as 600,000 to 700,000 people. These 600,000 to 700,000 people only eat and do not farm. How much food do they have to eat every year?
If they could all be self-sufficient in farming, it would greatly reduce the burden on the national treasury.
Su Yue could fully understand why the emperor was so stingy. He had to be stingy. The soldiers at the border needed food and drink, and they could not be short of it.
Just providing food, clothing and other expenses for the soldiers is a headache.
It was two days later that Su Yue prepared everything.
Murong Li took her to the renovated warehouse and put down the things one by one.
The weather is not hot now, and the meat and vegetables have been processed. Su Yue soaked them in spiritual spring water, so they can be preserved for a long time.
"Would you like some Warhorse to be released?"
After leaving the warehouse, Su Yue asked Murong Li, since the chance of going to the border this time when returning to the capital is almost zero, some of the war horses in the space must be released.
"You can put some in. I've already had a horse ranch built on the Qingniu Mountains."
There is no place suitable for storing war horses inside the pass, but they can be placed in the Qingniu Mountains. The horse feed in the mountains is enough for the war horses, and there is no need to prepare horse feed specially.
Su Yue smiled and said, "You are really smart. I have never thought of placing war horses on the Qingniu Mountains."
"We should make the best use of everything. It would be a shame to leave such a huge mountain range unused."
"That's true. How's the defense work going over there?"
The Qingniu Mountains now belong to the West Feng Kingdom. Although the East Feng Kingdom will take it over sooner or later, defensive fortifications still need to be built.
Su Yue first invaded Dongfeng Country through economic means, with the purpose of taking over Dongfeng Country. If Dongfeng Country is not taken over, it will be a disaster sooner or later.
A centipede is still alive even after death. Although they have emptied the treasury of Dongfeng Kingdom, it is easy for them to turn things around. If they are left alone and allowed to develop, Dongfeng Kingdom will be back to its original state within ten years.
Making money is not a difficult task for an emperor.
Murong Li patted her head: "Don't worry, Yue'er, you don't have to worry about these things. I have already considered everything that needs to be considered, and they are all being carried out at the same time."
He just hopes that his Yue'er will be happy and not have to worry about these troublesome things with him.
