These days, Ye Han has been leisurely choosing a shop, and Yue Chengyu has also arrived at the border.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty Prince Rui."
After receiving the news, the border officials and generals arrived at the city gate in advance to welcome them.
"No need to be polite, let's go into the city first."
After Yue Chengyu arrived here, he did not exchange too many pleasantries. As soon as he entered the city, he called a meeting with the generals here.
"General Chi, how is the war preparedness here?"
"Your Highness, the entire army has been actively preparing for war. Coupled with the food and fodder allocated by the court last time, now that the food has arrived, the soldiers' enthusiasm for preparing for war has increased even more."
"Okay, keep going. Where are the food reserves in the city?"
After Yue Chengyu finished asking, a relatively thin young man who didn't look like a martial artist walked out from the crowd.
"Your Highness, I am the governor here. I can answer this question."
"good."
"Your Highness, since I received the news half a year ago that Beichen's actions were becoming more and more obvious, I have consciously started to stockpile food.
The food in the warehouse now can support the people of the entire city for six months. If the military supplies are included, it is estimated that it can last for two months. However, it will be time for the autumn harvest in more than a month.
With the addition of sweet potatoes and potatoes, we have enough food and fodder."
"Well, the army's supplies are not your responsibility for the time being. The court will be responsible for that. Your task is to maintain order in the city if a fight breaks out.
Comfort the people. There should not be a large-scale price increase of grain, salt, and other materials such as medicine.
"yes."
"The head coach of Beichen this time is Rong Yi, right?"
"Your Highness, yes, we received accurate information yesterday that the Prince Regent of Beichen had arrived at the border yesterday morning, along with 10,000 elite soldiers.
The main force should still be behind."
"Well, we have to hurry up and make arrangements. Let's go back and have dinner first. After dinner, the main generals will come here for a meeting and we will discuss tactics."
"yes."
"By the way, Lord Governor, please organize all the information in the city and send it to me in the evening so I can take a look."
"yes."
Now, this border city has been under military control since the moment Yue Chengyu entered.
As the commander-in-chief, Yue Chengyu does not need to be overly involved in the city's political affairs, but he must have a thorough understanding of them and cannot be completely in the dark.
Otherwise, if the fighting on the front line is very intense and your own house catches fire, wouldn’t that be a big deal?
Yue Chengyu watched everyone leaving, looked at the map for a while, then picked up a pen and finished writing a letter.
Why is it called a letter? Because after Yue Chengyu finished writing, he waited for the ink to dry, then folded it up and put it in an envelope.
Then he put it in his arms. On the third day, after Yue Chengyu had fully understood the situation here, he wrote a memorial to the court.
He reported the more accurate information and data here. Then he sent the letter and memorial that had been written long ago back to the capital.
It was five days later when Ye Han received the letter. Since there was nothing urgent, just a routine memorial and a family letter, it was not delivered at the 800-li express speed, but at the normal speed.
During this period, Ye Han spent all his time in Dayue except running around the store in modern times, for fear that he would not be able to receive any news in the first time.
That day, the agent was busy in the morning and had an appointment for the afternoon, so Ye Han stayed in the palace the entire morning.
When Ye Han was dealing with the housework, the housekeeper came
"This old servant pays homage to the princess."
"Please get up quickly. What's wrong with Butler Wu? Why are you so anxious?" Ye Han asked without raising his head.
Butler Wu said excitedly, "Princess, the prince has sent a letter."
"Oh?" Ye Han raised his head immediately after hearing the housekeeper's words, and his voice was also full of surprise. "Quick, bring it over to me."
"Here, Princess." Butler Wu said as he handed the intact envelope to Ye Han with both hands.
"Well, you go down first." Ye Han said casually after taking the envelope.
"Yes, then I will take my leave."
After Ye Han took the envelope, he couldn't wait to open it and look at the three-page letter inside.
Ye Han read carefully word by word, fearing that he would miss something.
The letter did not contain any major events, but only some of what he saw and heard on the road, as well as some interesting stories, although this part was very small.
Come to think of it, during a forced march, how could one have the leisure and elegance to experience it carefully?
More of it was about life on the border, the food customs, folk customs, scenery, etc. Everything Yue Chengyu had seen, no matter how funny it was, he wrote to Ye Han in a letter.
Those who know him think he went to fight, while those who don’t think he went on a trip. It’s worth mentioning that Yue Chengyu’s writing style is pretty good, and it really feels like a travelogue.
Ye Han looked at the description in the letter and actually sketched out the general outline of the border city in his mind.
Ye Han looked at the letter, but not satisfied after reading it once, so he read it again. Then he got up and went to the study.
After arriving at the study, I turned on the computer and imported the photos of my life that I had taken during this period into the computer.
After that, I started writing letters to him, which were also about the little things in life.
This includes what delicious restaurants we ate at, which dishes were not so delicious, and which dishes are worth recommending.
After writing it, I also inserted the photos I took.
For example, Hua Qianshu’s sales have increased this month, and the turnover is quite good, so they are planning to rent a store, etc.
For example, she complains like a spoiled child about how difficult it is to find a satisfactory store.
After writing a lot, Ye Han stopped, checked the layout, and clicked print after confirming that there was no problem.
After printing out, it was five A4 sheets. Ye Han found a large envelope, put these in it, and went out to call the housekeeper.
"Uncle Wu, please send this to the prince."
"Yes, Princess."
After doing all this, Ye Han took another look at Yue Chengyu's letter, found a small box to put it in, and placed it in the drawer of the study.
Then continue to work on the things at hand.
The emperor and the crown prince were in the imperial study at the time. As soon as Yue Chengyu's memorial arrived in the capital, it was urgently sent to the palace.
After reading the memorial, the emperor nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems your brother's takeover of the border went smoothly."
"As long as everything goes well, shouldn't we start collecting the second batch of food?"
"Well, I will send someone to deliver a secret letter to Princess Rui."
"But the autumn harvest is almost here, and we have potatoes and sweet potatoes this year, which should be enough to handle a lot of work. Unfortunately, the planting started a little late this year, so the yield probably won't be high."
“That will also be better than previous years.”
"Yes, in the final analysis, it is because I am greedy."
