Yu Zheng returned to the palace and informed Jiang Shuyu of the results of the meeting in the study.
Jiang Shu frowned when he heard that there was not enough money in the treasury, so he had to buy winter clothes first and only part of the food.
The border crossing is far away and it is extremely difficult to transport grain and grass once. With the soldiers fighting bloody battles, how can there be a shortage of food?
The Dazhao people are not as strong as the Mobei people. If they go to the battlefield hungry, how can they survive?
If there is insufficient food and grass, the morale of the army will be unstable.
"What's wrong?" Yu Zheng asked when he saw her lost her mind.
Jiang Shu expressed his worries.
Yu Zheng sighed: "This is the best decision right now."
But Jiang Shu could think of this, which really surprised him.
Jiang Shu pursed his lips and said nothing, thinking in his heart.
After Yu Zheng went to the study, Jiang Shu also left the house and took Yu Ziyou to Jiang's house.
On rainy days, Jiang's father felt a little uncomfortable in his affected leg, so he rested at home instead of patrolling the shop. Jiang Ning happened to be at home during the holiday.
"Ziyou is here, let grandma hug you." When Jiang's mother saw Yu Ziyou, her face burst into laughter.
Jiang Shu handed Yu Ziyou to her, and Jiang's mother hugged her and teased her with Jiang's father, Jiang Ning.
After teasing for a while, Jiang Ning said, "Mom, give me a hug. I'll be careful."
Such a cute little nephew can only be looked at but not held, which is really annoying.
Looking at Jiang Ning who was impatient, Jiang Shu said warmly: "Let me carry you."
Jiang Ning is fifteen, a head taller than Jiang Shu, and looks like an adult. Although he has a cheerful temperament, he is also calm. There is nothing to worry about having a child.
Furthermore, Yu Ziyou has grown up a lot and is no longer as delicate as when she was just born. Yu Zheng still often hugs her with one hand.
"Be careful." Jiang's mother gave Yu Ziyou to Jiang Ning, still worried.
"I know." Jiang Ning got her wish and was extremely happy.
"Ziyou, I am your uncle, remember..."
Jiang Ning held Yu Ziyou like a baby and teased her softly.
Yu Ziyou didn't understand, but he babbling in response.
When Jiang's father saw him, he was not willing to be outdone. He came closer and said, "Ziyou, look at me, I am my grandfather..."
Yu Ziyou didn't understand anything at all, but he just looked wherever there was a sound, and when he heard someone talking to him, he said "Ahhhhh" in agreement.
Mother Jiang looked at the jealous father and son and found it funny.
The atmosphere in the hall was harmonious. Father Jiang was smiling and obviously in a good mood.
Jiang Shu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Jiang's father and said, "Dad, I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Jiang's father held Yu Ziyou's hand without raising his head.
Jiang Shu carefully considered his words and said, "Ziyou's father and grandfather are in trouble. Only your grandfather can help. Can you help them?"
Aren't Ziyou's father and grandfather the same as King Jing and the Emperor?
What can the emperor and princes not solve, but he can solve it?
After hearing this, Jiang's father finally raised his head and looked at Jiang Shu with confusion, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
Jiang’s mother, Jiang Ning, also looked curious.
"If you have anything to say, just be the first to say it." Father Jiang pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
It's really a spoiled act for a married daughter to beat around the bush with her father for the sake of her husband's family.
Jiang Shuqing coughed and said: "The national treasury is tight and there is not enough to buy food, grass and winter clothes..."
Jiang and his father listened attentively, waiting for Jiang Shu's next words.
Jiang Shu squeezed his hands and said with a guilty conscience: "So I wonder if Jiang Ji's grain, cloth and cotton can be sold to the imperial court at the stock price."
She also had several grain and silk shops in her own dowry shop. Although she also stocked up on goods, they were far less numerous than Jiang Ji Pang's.
So if you want to help the emperor and Yu Zheng solve this problem, they can only ask Jiang's father for help.
Nowadays, food and winter clothes are in short supply. If you pay the stock price to the court, it seems that there is no loss. In fact, not only will you make a lot of money, but you will also have to pay for labor costs, storage fees, etc.
In order to stock up on goods, Father Jiang had spent most of his savings, leaving only half of his money for turnover.
In this way, if you don't make a profit, you will have to lose some money.
Jiang Shu also knew that this was too much to ask for, but she couldn't think of any other way.
"The country is safe when the family is safe. I support sister." Jiang Ning spoke righteously.
Whether you say that he is young and frivolous, or that he is not a rich man and does not know the importance of money, Jiang Ning, a young and passionate young man, feels from the bottom of his heart that the stability of the country is more important than anything else.
Only when the country is strong can the people be prosperous.
Otherwise, once the border pass is breached and the Mobei army marches to Beijing, Jiang Ji's business will not be successful...
Seeing that Jiang's father didn't respond, Jiang Ning began to talk to him in detail.
"Dad, don't feel bad. When the border war is won and Dazhao becomes stable and prosperous, we will definitely make more money."
"On the other hand, if we fail at the border and the Mobei thieves come, we will have no choice but to run away. It will be inconvenient to carry so much money..."
The more Father Jiang heard, the darker his face became. He glared at Jiang Ning angrily and said, "In your eyes, your father and I are just rotten businessmen who only love money and don't understand justice?"
You brat, after studying for several years, you actually taught me a lesson.
Is this a promise?
Seeing Father Jiang's unhappy expression at being questioned, Jiang Shu turned her apricot eyes and said, "They say like father, like son. My brother is so loyal and righteous because of my father's influence."
"Humph!" Jiang's father glanced at the siblings angrily.
Jiang Shu quickly winked at Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning coughed lightly and said, "Ziyou, please thank your grandfather."
Yu Ziyou said "Ah" a few times and smiled at Jiang's father.
He actually laughed out loud.
Jiang's father was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took Yu Ziyou from Jiang Ning's arms, and deliberately teased: "Good boy, are you here to act as a lobbyist for your father and grandfather, and bribe your grandfather?"
"Giggle..." Yu Ziyou laughed again.
Father Jiang also laughed.
There is no energy left.
Seeing this, Mother Jiang on the side also curled her lips and smiled.
After experiencing so many things, she has already seen clearly that no amount of money is as important as having a safe, healthy and happy family.
The affairs of the court seem to have nothing to do with the Jiang family, but Jiang Shu is Princess Jing. If the Jokhang royal family is in trouble, she will be implicated and will not be able to survive alone.
Furthermore, as long as Yu Zheng and the emperor did not despise Jiang Shu or make things difficult for her when the Zhao Dynasty was prosperous, Jiang Ji should also lend a helping hand.
Seeing Jiang's father teasing Yu Zi with a happy face, Jiang Shu let out a long sigh of relief, but felt a little guilty at the end.
She brought Yu Ziyou here on purpose today, with the idea of using Yu Ziyou as a bribe.
Although Jiang's father's attitude just now suggested that he would agree even if Yu Ziyou didn't come, he was obviously happier if Yu Ziyou came.
"If there is anything we need to do in the future, just say it, don't worry." Mother Jiang took Jiang Shu's hand and said.
A family should help each other and share weal and woe.
Money is just an external possession, it is nothing.
Jiang Shu nodded, his eyes turned red, and he choked: "Thank you, mom and dad, and brother."
Mother Jiang patted Jiang Shu's hand, smiled and joked: "Look, Ziyou, your mother-in-law is crying."
Jiang's father cooperated by holding Yu Ziyou and changing his direction so that he faced Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu was so embarrassed that he wiped his tears with a brocade handkerchief.
Jiang and his father laughed loudly when they saw this.
Yu Ziyou didn't know why, so he also chuckled.
Jiang Shu's face turned red in embarrassment.
