When Yun Zheng woke up in the morning, he looked refreshed.
On the other hand, Shen Luoyan was filled with resentment.
This time, she really became a wronged young wife.
There was no other reason, it was just because she hugged Yun Zheng when she got up early.
"Why do you keep staring at me?"
Yun Zheng said with a smile: "It was you who insisted on hugging me, not me who wanted to hug you. You can't say that I didn't keep my promise, right?"
"I……"
Shen Luoyan's pretty face flushed, and she said angrily: "Who said I had to hug you? I...I was confused in my sleep!"
Even she herself didn't know how she ended up hugging Yun Zheng in a daze.
"You were the one who held me even when I was half asleep!"
...
...
Yun Zheng laughed and said jokingly: "I haven't blamed you for almost strangling me to death!"
"Strangle him to death!"
Chen Luoyan glared at Yun Zheng angrily and secretly made up her mind that next time she slept with Yun Zheng, they must sleep separately!
Yun Zheng didn't care and just kept laughing.
Seeing his smug look, Shen Luoyan became even more furious.
After washing up, the two went outside to eat.
After breakfast, Ye Zi followed them to the study and handed over the account book. "This is the baggage we need to take with us when we go to Shuobei. I have sorted out some of it. Your Highness, please check if there is anything missing."
"good!"
Yun Zheng quickly opened the account book and looked at it, and Shen Luoyan followed suit.
Ye Zi sorted out the military supplies needed for the army to set out.
Mules and horses, grain, vinegar cloth, salt, coarse tea bricks...
The journey they made to Shuobei was almost 1,600 miles.
Even if they were all elite cavalry, it would still take seven or eight days to reach Shuobei at a normal marching speed.
What's more, they were accompanied by cooks, doctors and some servants in the mansion.
Even if these people rode horses, they could only ride pack horses, and their speed and endurance were certainly not as good as those of war horses.
If you calculate this way, it will take them at least ten days to get to Shuobei.
This team of thousands of people needs a lot of supplies.
"Sister-in-law, you are so amazing!"
Shen Luoyan admired and said: "You have counted so many things in such detail! If I hadn't looked at the account book, I wouldn't have known that I had to bring so many things."
Fortunately, she was not asked to do this.
Otherwise, her head would probably explode.
Yun Zheng looked at it for a while and replied, "No need for food, reduce the number of mules and horses appropriately, and buy more pack horses..."
War horses were scarce in the Dagan Dynasty, but pack horses were not too scarce.
As long as you are willing to spend money, pack horses are relatively easy to obtain.
"Are you crazy?"
Chen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng unhappily, "Without bringing food, so many of us will starve to death before we even get to Shuobei!"
"I said, are you stupid?"
Yun Zheng looked at Shen Luoyan speechlessly, "We are not in the enemy's territory. We will pass through so many states and counties along the way. Can we starve to death? Can't we send out scouts in advance and let the states and counties along the way prepare food for us?"
This girl!
Are you stupid?
Carrying too much food will only slow down their marching speed!
He is racing against time now, why does he need to carry so much baggage?
By asking the states and counties along the way to prepare food, he could save some money on buying food.
Yun Zheng's words instantly rendered Shen Luoyan speechless.
Ye Zi smiled and looked at Shen Luoyan, then nodded and said, "That's true."
Yun Zheng then gave instructions, "Order people to purchase a large amount of rice, flour, and raw meat. Make sure to deliver them to Maoer Mountain before dark. Order the cooks there to hurry up and prepare dry food. If you are short of manpower, you can ask Du Guiyuan and the others to stop training and help prepare dry food..."
In addition, Yun Zheng also asked her to mark out everything that could be purchased in Shuobei.
If there is a real need, you can purchase it when you arrive in Shuobei.
Try not to bring anything you can do without!
This way, they would need to carry less supplies.
Listening to Yun Zheng talking, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
How could this bastard still think of these things?
"good!"
Ye Zi agreed and took out another account book, "This is the account book of the income and expenditure of the mansion in recent days. Who of you can check it with me?"
"What's there to check?"
Shen Luoyan said without thinking: "We still don't trust you, sister-in-law?"
“We still need to check it.”
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "We need to see how much surplus there is in the mansion!"
"If you want to reconcile the accounts, you should do it yourself, not me!"
Shen Luoyan stood up and said, "I have a headache just looking at these. You guys can take your time!"
After saying that, Shen Luoyan walked out directly.
When she was in the Shen family before, she never asked about the accounts of the mansion. She was really not good at things like reconciling accounts.
Looking at Shen Luoyan running away, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.
They knew that Chen Luoyan would definitely not stay to reconcile the accounts.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Yun Zheng asked with a smile.
He knew that Ye Zi certainly didn't really want to settle accounts with him.
Ye Zi just had some things that were inconvenient to say in front of Shen Luoyan, so she deliberately sent Shen Luoyan away.
Ye Zi replied: "Most of the banknotes and gifts in the mansion have been exchanged for gold and silver, but it may be difficult to take so much gold and silver away quietly..."
You don’t know until you exchange it, and you’ll be shocked when you do.
She didn't even know that Yun Zheng was so rich.
All the property in the mansion was converted into silver, amounting to more than four million taels!
Although Yun Zheng asked her to exchange all of it into gold, the bank did not have that much gold for them to exchange.
She still thought of some ways and exchanged some gold from the merchants.
But even so, there are still nearly two million taels of silver that cannot be exchanged for gold.
If they openly took away so much real money, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
But it is not easy to take away so much gold and silver quietly.
This was the first time in her life that she was worried about having too much gold and silver.
Listening to Ye Zi's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I realized that I did something very stupid!"
"What's up?"
Ye Zi asked in confusion.
Yun Zheng replied bitterly: "I know that we need to go to various states and counties to find food along the way, but why didn't I think of asking us to bring silver bills and exchange them in various states and counties along the way?"
“…”
Ye Zi was slightly stunned, then burst out laughing.
Yes!
They all ignored this problem!
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed a very stupid thing to do.
You can't exchange the silver into banknotes now, right?
"It will definitely take a lot of time to exchange along the way, so just think of it as saving time!"
Ye Zi couldn't help laughing.
How rare!
Yun Zheng also makes mistakes sometimes.
“That’s all I can think of now.”
Yun Zheng rubbed his head, thought silently for a moment, and suddenly a sly smile appeared on his face.
When Ye Zi saw Yun Zheng’s smile, she knew that this guy must be up to something bad again.
"I found a way to take these gold and silver away quietly!"
Yun Zheng said with a smile on his face.
"What is the solution?"
Ye Zi asked immediately.
Yun Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and whispered to Ye Zi with a smirk on his face.
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Ye Zi's pretty face was filled with tears and she was speechless for a long time...
