Chapter 1020: Can’t Cover It Up
With the generous sponsorship from King Zhao, the Hubei Northern Army earned more money than expected this time.
Shen Qingqian knew that this was the result of Ling Yun and Shen Chen raising the price, and immediately laughed, "I never thought that King Zhao wanted to plot against us, but ended up being blackmailed by Ling Yun."
I have to say, Ling Yun is really a talented person.
"He has this ability." Shen Qingning came in with a jar of freshly brewed rice wine, and said with disbelief, "This must be Big Brother Shen's idea. After all, I haven't seen anyone better than Big Brother Shen in doing business."
Previously, the fact that Shengze and Ling Yun concealed their identities was exposed in front of the Shen family. Shen Qingning didn't know why, but he felt very uncomfortable. From then on, every time he saw Ling Yun, he would say a few sarcastic words to him.
This time, Ling Yun has made a great contribution to the Hubei Northern Army. Originally, Shen Qingqian and the others wanted to bite off a piece of King Zhao's meat, but now one piece has become two pieces. Even if they don't say the number, Shen Qingning can guess that it will definitely not be less. She feels even more complicated.
Shen Qingqian didn't know about her complicated thoughts and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, you are wrong this time. It really was Ling Yun who made it happen."
After Shen Chen came back, he reported the matter to her immediately. Now he is still in the main hall, being pulled by Shen Jun to drink tea and ask questions.
Shen Qingning curled her lips and said no more, placing the jar on the table in Shen Qingqian's room. "Well, last time you said you wanted to drink rice wine, and there was some leftover rice from lunch, so I made some for you. But it's cold now, so you'll probably have to stay in bed for half a month before you can eat it."
"You made it for me." Shen Qingqian looked over in surprise, her eyes sparkling. She was moved and held Shen Qingning's hand. "Fifth sister, you are so good to me!"
She just said that last time, and there was no need to eat it, but Shen Qingning actually remembered it and actually made it. Who can resist this?
Shen Qingning smiled, "You are my sister. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? Besides, aren't you also good to me?"
Because the entire Ezhou has entered the war preparation stage, Chen Ji has suspended business. Shen Qingning has been idle and sighs at home all day long. Shen Qingqian can't stand it, so she suggests to Sheng Ze that Shen Qingning can lead people to develop military rations that are easy to carry and resistant to hunger, such as dry food similar to compressed biscuits.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes do have high yields, but they take up too much manpower and are not easy to carry.
Once the war breaks out between the Hubei Northern Army and the Zhao Wang Army, there will be no possibility of a truce in the short term. Soldiers fighting outside for a long time still need to have guaranteed military rations. Although the taste may not be very good, the most important thing is to ensure combat effectiveness.
Liang Cheng was not a conservative person. As long as the basic military rations were guaranteed, he was very much in favor of this proposal. Not long after, he asked Zheng Shicheng to contact Shen Qingning.
Shen Qingning is very busy now. He goes to the planting base every day and brings dozens of people with him. Today, he went home to rest for half a day just because the things there came to an end.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore," Shen Qingqian patted her hands and smiled slyly, "How about you tell me why you have such a big opinion about Ling Yun?"
Shen Qingning choked, "What opinion do I have? Why do I have any opinion about him? It's just that he's a very annoying person, okay?"
When a person is nervous or wants to hide something, his speech speed will unconsciously speed up. This is the situation Shen Qingning is in now.
Shen Qingqian smiled with her lips pursed, and did not expose her. This silly fifth sister of hers probably didn't know that she couldn't hide the emotions on her face!
