"Ma'am, isn't this amazing?"
Wufu followed up with an experiment, which feasted everyone's eyes. Even the timid little Wuzi and Mammy Yu also experienced this process.
Doubao stared at it intently, as if he found it more interesting than riding a big horse. After a while, he yawned and fell asleep deeply before tidying up.
After washing up, Li Haitang lay on the bed, suddenly missing her savage husband.
In the middle of the night, when Xiao Lingchuan climbed over the wall and entered, he was surprised to find that the candles in the room were still burning and his wife was still asleep.
"Husband."
Li Haitang sat up, went to the clean room to fetch a basin of hot water, soaked a cloth towel, and helped her savage husband wipe his face.
Xiao Lingchuan glanced at the bean bun first, seeing that the little bun was fast asleep, and then went back to the inner room.
"My lady, why aren't you asleep yet?"
It was not only Li Haitang who took over, Xiao Lingchuan wiped it off, his face was tired and weathered.
Last night, something happened in the camp in the north of the city. The barbarians somehow sneaked into the camp and set fire to their grain warehouse.
The north wind was raging. Originally there was only one fire point, but under the action of the wind, it developed into several. Even if the fire was put out with water, it would not help.
The fire had been burning for several hours, and when the fire was extinguished at dawn, there was nothing left in the warehouse.
That is the life-saving food for hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If it is not replenished in time, the morale of the army will definitely be in chaos. Moreover, because of the fire fighting yesterday, many people were burned by the fire. If there is no rescue team, they may not be able to save their lives at this moment.
"so serious?"
Li Haitang's eyes were gloomy. The barbarians were indeed ruthless. If they were allowed to enter, they would surely massacre the city. This was a lesson learned from previous convictions and blood.
Food and grass are the most important military supplies for marching and fighting. Soldiers must have enough food to have the strength to fight.
"How much food is left?"
Li Haitang frowned, feeling something was wrong, mainly because in winter, when the mountains in the north were covered by heavy snow, there was no way to deploy them from a farther place. If they waited for the rescue food and grass to arrive, the soldiers might faint from hunger.
During the New Year's Eve, every household has a little food in stock, but now it's a time of shortage, so we can't rob the people of food rations for the sake of war!
"It's just a few days' worth."
Xiao Lingchuan is also very angry. At present, it seems that he can only deploy food and grass in Lucheng and Yong'an as soon as possible to ensure sufficient supplies.
Moreover, there are still a lot of quilts and other things missing for the fire fighting this time, and I am afraid that a large amount of military supplies will still be needed.
"It's really tricky."
Li Haitang rested her chin and sat opposite the savage husband, and the couple figured out a solution together.
In the border town, many big households have the habit of storing grain and grass, and the first thing she thought of was Master Ma, Ma Bihe's father.
Mr. Ma is doing some grain and grass business, and his family has several warehouses in the countryside near the border town. It would be the best if he could get Mr. Ma's support.
For the rest, you can only use silver to buy some in the surrounding countryside.
The shortage of military supplies will inevitably lead to a new round of soaring grain prices. Fortunately, it is almost the Chinese New Year now, and many shops are closed, and the common people may not know the news.
"This is fine."
It's just that money may be a little difficult.
When the two countries went to war earlier, many soldiers were killed and wounded, and the military supplies and money needed to pay for the dead soldiers’ homes, etc., each person was tens of taels, and now it is a huge number.
The shortage of grain and grass alone is almost two hundred thousand taels of silver, which is the least.
After all, with hundreds of thousands of troops and consumption, it is impossible to keep up with nutrition.
Li Haitang only felt a headache. Every time she went to see a doctor, she received ten thousand taels of consultation money. She felt that it was a lot, so she was complacent, but when she was short of money, she realized that the little money she had was enough to make up for a small change. .
Moreover, the consultation fee of 10,000 taels of silver is not always available, and no one has come to her for consultation recently.
"My lady, I'm sorry."
There are still some valuable treasures on the mountain at home. These couples agreed to leave it to Xiao Baozi, and Xiao Lingchuan may have to use some of it.
The treasures stolen in the dungeon before were only enough to recruit soldiers and horses for the Xiao family army, but after that, military salaries, military supplies, logistics, no matter what, they all need money.
"Husband, you can still earn money in the future, but we can't let the soldiers who defend their homes and the country have nothing to eat."
Li Haitang sighed, it must be solved before the year, and the soldiers must not worry about food and drink during the year, this is the most basic guarantee.
The amount of food and grass involved is not small, so Li Haitang decided to find Ma Bihe first, and then Master Ma.
Although she was kind to Mr. Ma for saving her life, Mr. Ma also gave her a lot of consultation fees. If you really think about it, the kindness is included in it, which is very small.
Seeing that the savage husband was too tired, Li Haitang gave him a massage first, and then acted out swallowing a big fireball.
But my savage husband didn't show any surprise from the beginning to the end.
"Husband, aren't you afraid that the fire ball will hurt me?"
Li Haitang tossed once in vain, she swallowed the grapes in her mouth, feeling a little depressed.
Xiao Lingchuan has the style of a general, and he is not afraid of life and death, but he has always treated her differently. Could it be that after having the bean buns, the two of them changed their relationship?
Thinking so, it seems impossible.
"Not afraid."
Xiao Lingchuan shook his head, today Li Tianshi came out of the border town to swallow fireballs, his subordinates had already reported to him, he felt from the bottom of his heart that the other party was using a trick.
It's not that he's not nervous about his wife, but he believes that she won't hurt himself for it.
"Humph!"
Li Haitang turned his body sideways, ignored people, and waited for Xiao Lingchuan to coax him.
Xiao Lingchuan didn't say anything, he directly picked him up, put him on the bed, bent down, and put his wife's lips in his mouth...
Early the next morning, when Li Haitang got up, the other side of the bed was empty and cold to the touch.
The beauty of last night was still there, and Li Haitang felt empty in her heart, as if a corner had been dug out. She suddenly found that her dependence on Xiao Lingchuan hadn't diminished at all.
After getting up and eating breakfast, I heard Wu Fu's footsteps.
"lady."
Wu Fu stood at the door, his wife's room, and he couldn't enter without order.
"come in."
Li Haitang suppressed the sense of loss in his heart, but he still didn't have much energy. He could only comfort himself when he saw Doubao's little face similar to his wild husband.
But why is this little bun so far from her husband in temperament?
"Ma'am, when I went out this morning, I heard the people next door talking about that Heavenly Master Li." In just one day, the people in the border towns all knew that there was a Heavenly Master Li with profound knowledge. Wen Qian, ran to ask for protection.
