Mu Chen smiled and said: "Thanks to the empress who came up with such a way.
Fortunately, it is cold today and the ice cubes have not melted, so that the
dumplings can be kept. Lord, let me heat it up for you? It just happens to be
ten today. Fifth, I'm worried about asking you to get something good for you."
Zhao Shu stared at the dumplings for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What
else?"
"what?"
"Something else from the Queen."
"Master, you are too godly. How do you know that there is something else?"
"The queen is not you. How could she occupy such an important intelligence
channel as Tangyuanyuan with just a box of dumplings?" Zhao Shu said, "It's
hard to walk in such a cold weather. How could she do it for a box of
dumplings? Manpower-consuming?"
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Master is right, there is indeed something left."
He took out a letter from his arms and wrapped it in waterproof greased paper.
"Master, there is another letter here. Niang Niang must have something
important to tell you."
Zhao Shu accepted the letter, carefully opened it, and finally took out a
stack of silver notes from the envelope.
Mu Chen's eyes widened.
Zhao Shu counted and said, "Two million taels."
"Two million..." Mu Chen took a deep breath.
So much money, just casually wrapped it in an envelope and asked an
intelligence officer to send it on horseback?
Zhao Shu glanced at the envelope again.
Mu Chen leaned over and asked, "Master, there is nothing else in the
envelope?"
Zhao Shu glanced at him: "What do you want?"
"Believe!" Mu Chen said, "The empress has sent so much silver, so I have to
explain, where does this silver come from, to whom, and what is it for?"
Zhao Shu put away the envelope and said, "No."
Mu Chen sighed: "Our empress, you are just two words, majestic!"
Zhao Shu ignored him.
Mu Chen said to himself: "Two million banknotes, without saying a word, they
were sent directly. It seems that this should be the personal money of the
Queen Empress. If the court dialed it, it would not be so fast. Don’t go
through the private channels of glutinous rice balls."
After talking for a long time, he summed up a sentence: "The empress is really
rich, so willing!"
Zhao Shu said, "She has a business, which seems to be very prosperous. She has
made a little money in the past few years, but not much. After all, she has
only been in business for a short period of time. These two million taels of
silver, I'm afraid it will cost all the money. Take it out.
"Hey, the empress is really great." Mu Chen's eyes were moved with tears, "It
just happens that we are in short supply for military expenses. We will not
say anything about the soldiers' food and grass, and the military payment has
not been paid for two months. The money is really good. Understand our urgent
need."
Zhao Shu gave him the bank note: "Take it to the chief executive, let him use
it where it should be used, and first pay the soldiers. They are all people
who need to support their families. Without the military payment, they can
easily shake the military's mind. "
"Yes, Lord." Mu Chen took the silver.
"Besides, it's fifteen today. Give the soldiers a good meal."
"Subordinates understand, let's do it now." Mu Chen was very happy. "The money
came in time for the empress. It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
When the soldiers get the payment, they will be able to eat a good meal. All
happy."
"Go." Zhao Shu waved his hand.
Mu Chen stood still and smiled: "Master, you haven't eaten for most of the
day. Your subordinates will cook this dumpling for you first. You will eat
some first."
"I'm busy with you. Doesn't this king even know how to cook a few dumplings?"
