Chapter 535: Finally Made Wedding Dress for Qi Family
"No, all this money is for me?"
Duan Yi couldn't help but murmured...
Ran Qingxuan was speechless. How long had this child suffered? How could a young marquis be so useless?
"It's not for you."
"How…how many of these are there?"
Ran Qingxuan hesitated for a moment: "A box is about one thousand taels..."
Now, not only Duan Yi, but even Duan Ling could open her mouth wide enough to swallow an egg.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that the Duan family has been suppressed, and it is difficult to feed those tens of thousands of soldiers. Even if they have seen so much money, it will basically be distributed everywhere in the next second.
Duan Ling runs the outside business with her mother, and it's not easy to see so much money in one go.
"Sister Ran, why did you bring so much money?"
Ran Qingxuan shrugged helplessly: "I just found out that Emperor Mingde is dead. With the unrest in the North Pass, a war is bound to break out."
"I heard from my elder brother that you guys went back to prepare food and fodder, so I rushed over right after you guys. I hope this money can help those soldiers."
"But this is too much. We can't have it."
Duan Yi reacted and refused. After all, his good brother's family was exiled, and it would cost a lot of money in the future.
"Okay, I know what you're thinking. This money is for buying food for the soldiers. No matter how much money the Gu family has, they can't spend it."
Duan Yi didn't know how to thank him for a moment, and patted his good brother's shoulder solemnly.
"I'll remember this favor."
In any case, a box of gold is worth about one thousand taels.
According to the prices in the Northern Qi Dynasty, 1 tael of gold could buy 1,000 dou of rice, and 3,000 taels of gold could buy 3 million dou of rice.
A dou of rice weighs 7 jin. If you do the math, these three boxes of gold ingots can buy 21 million jin of rice.
If we buy other cheaper food in addition to rice, the quantity will definitely be more than this.
"Anyway, no matter how you buy it, this money should be enough..."
Having said that, Ran Qingxuan overlooked an important issue.
That is, even if there is so much money, the entire Northern Qi must have so much rice...
Duan Ling picked up a gold cake and asked as she looked at it.
"Sister Ran, where did you get so much money?"
Where else could it have come from… Emperor Mingde and Qi Jing, those two wicked people, provided it…
Thinking this way, you definitely can't say that, Ran Qingxuan just laughed it off.
"My master gave it to me. He left me these three boxes of money before he passed away. Now they come in handy."
Duan Yi thought it was the master who taught her medical skills. Considering that Ran Qingxuan's medical skills were so advanced, it would be easy for his master to get the money.
"Sister-in-law, you are the lucky star sent by God to save my father."
Ran Qingxuan smiled and didn't take it to heart, but when Gu Yanchen heard this, he sighed helplessly in his heart.
In fact, when it comes down to it, this move saved the soldiers and civilians, but it ultimately served the Qi family well.
After all, the 100,000-strong army belongs to Marquis Zhenbei, and guarding the North Gate is his duty.
If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Mingde ascended the throne after the death of the previous emperor, and a lot of the 100,000 troops of Marquis Zhenbei were loaned out, otherwise the harvest from the fiefdom alone would not be enough to feed 100,000 soldiers.
Thinking that the time was almost up, Gu Yanchen did not plan to stay long. He was not sleepy, but he did not want Ran Qingxuan to be too tired.
You don’t know what the weather will be like after daybreak, and if you don’t get enough rest, you will lack energy.
"The money has been handed over to you. We have to go back quickly. If we can't buy that much food, we can buy the horse fodder first and send it to Beiguan."
Duan Yi also knew that it was difficult to buy food in winter. Now that his good brother had helped him solve the money problem, he must pay close attention to the issue of buying food.
"Thank you for your generosity, my brother and sister-in-law. If nothing unexpected happens, the soldiers will be able to have enough food to eat in a month."
Not knowing what changes will occur, Ran Qingxuan can only try to think positively.
"I hope..."
"Before it gets light, you should get enough rest and leave as early as possible. We also have to go back quickly."
Duan Yi and his group watched the two people leave. Only after they were a little further away did Ran Qingxuan take the car out of the space.
The two of them were not in a hurry on the way back. Ran Qingxuan sat in the passenger seat without saying a word, and Gu Yanchen thought she was asleep.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ran Qingxuan let out a long sigh and said, "Now that the money has been given, I don't know how much food he can buy."
"When An Liu returns with the news, we will probably have to send the food over. If we eat as much as we can, I'm afraid there will only be enough for three or four months."
There are countless gold, silver and treasures in Ran Qingxuan's space, and the treasure hunter with the strongest purchasing power in the shop has also purchased a lot of valuable jewelry from her.
All in all, she had accumulated nearly 20 million gold coins in her mall, but she could only buy 10 million kilograms of food at most.
This is enough food for only three months at most. How can we fight the war?
Seeing that she was worried, Gu Yanchen comforted her, "We should eat the food now, and once the situation in the court stabilizes, the war will not start."
"It's just that the first few months are more difficult, after all, everyone wants to take advantage of this time to create chaos."
"Based on past experience, the Yigui people need to conserve their energy in the winter, so they are taking a risk by attacking the North Pass this time."
After all, they are also human beings and need to eat. With the assistance of Ran Qingxuan, the Marquis of Zhenbei can obtain sufficient food supply.
The Yigui tribe had no fixed land and produced little grain, so they mostly ate beef, mutton and horse meat.
The longer it takes, the more they will not be able to bear it and will retreat.
Ran Qingxuan thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He suppressed his worries and took the opportunity to pack all the randomly scattered food into bags while walking back.
More than half an hour later, the two were almost approaching Los Angeles.
It was pitch black all around, but one could already see flames on the city walls.
Only after they had packed up the car and climbed over the city wall into Luo City did Ran Qingxuan speak.
"I almost forgot, we have to find a place to store the food, otherwise it's impossible to conjure up the food in front of the Marquis of Zhenbei."
Gu Yanchen was not worried at all. He took her slightly cold little hand, picked her up, and then used his light skills to rush home.
"Don't worry, to get to Beiguan you have to pass through a group of mountains. There is a small path leading into a natural cave that is about half the size of a granary.
To avoid attracting too much attention, release them in batches and let them come back to take them away. ”
Ran Qingxuan was delighted when he heard this. It seemed that traveling around did have its benefits.
The cold wind was biting. Ran Qingxuan took out a scarf, put one end around Gu Yanchen's neck, and wrapped himself with the other end.
Gu Yanchen smiled warmly, fixed her right hand and gently lifted it up, then kissed her forehead through the scarf.
The atmosphere became very subtle. Ran Qingxuan pushed him away embarrassedly, but this action was too annoying in Gu Yanchen's eyes.
Gu Yanchen put the person down after returning home. Ran Qingxuan directly flashed into the space without leaving him any chance.
Gu Yanchen stretched out his hand but grabbed nothing. He pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled helplessly.
