Chapter 378 Princess Please Marry 27
It was better not to say this. As soon as she said it, Lin Chunhuan felt that her face seemed to get hotter, as if she was about to burn a hole in the quilt, so she grabbed it. A pillow was thrown to Fei Ying accurately, "Get out!"
Without the surnamed Shen, life in Kyoto seemed to have settled down, everything was going on in an orderly manner and step by step.
Just as the New Year was about to come, Qin Song suddenly visited the princess mansion.
The first snow has fallen in Kyoto, and a thin layer of red and white hangs on the branches of plum blossoms. It is clear and alienating, but there is a vague and non-existent fragrance that attracts people and makes them want to stop.
Hot tea was boiling on the clay stove in front of him. Lin Chunhuan picked up the cotton cloth, bent down and held the handle of the pot, and poured a cup of hot tea for Qin Song in front of him.
The scent of tea is not out of place in this plum garden at all, "Are you leaving now?"
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, why don't you wait until the New Year before leaving? It's better to live in Kyoto than in the frontier fortress."
Qin Song smiled when he heard this, "No, no matter in the frontier fortress or in Kyoto, I am alone and have nothing to worry about, so it is better to be with the soldiers. Stay together and drink and eat meat at ease!"
Lin Chunhuan's slightly opened lips slowly closed, and he smiled silently, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Qin Song looked careless in front of everyone, so she almost couldn't remember that he was the only one left in the Qin family.
Before this, although Bai Xiaoxiao had a lot of problems, he was Qin Song's only relative.
"Then, I wish you a safe journey."
Watching Qin Song drink all the tea in the cup, Lin Chunhuan responded softly.
But Qin Song's eyebrows were a little more serious, "Actually, I came today. In addition to saying goodbye to the eldest princess, I also have something to ask for."
After staring at the eyebrows of the person in front of him for a few more times, Lin Chunhuan pursed his lips and said, "If you want food or weapons."
"Cotton!"
Qin Song frowned slightly. , "Cotton cloth, cotton clothes, cotton, cotton, something that can allow the frontier soldiers to survive this winter."
"Don't the eldest princess feel that the first snow this year came earlier than in previous years?"
Although he was asking, Qin Song clearly knew that Lin Chunhuan was aware of these things.
This year, not only did it snow earlier than in previous years, but it was also colder than in previous years. However, the team from the court distributing warm clothes has not yet set off.
If this continues, how many frontier soldiers will freeze to death!
Lin Chunhuan does know very well, she knows more than Qin Song.
The imperial court refused to distribute it.
However, natural disasters have occurred frequently in many places this year, and victims are everywhere. The court does not know how much food and clothing has been distributed for disaster relief. Unfortunately, the effect is very little.
Even the national treasury can no longer afford large-scale expenditures.
It’s not that the winter clothes to keep out the cold don’t come out, it’s that they don’t have to wear them, they can’t come out!
If we want to forcibly collect a batch of winter clothes, there is only one way to collect taxes, but this year is a cold winter. If we increase taxes again, the people will have no way to survive!
Lin Chunhuan lowered his head. The tea was obviously sweet, but when he drank it this time, he felt sour and astringent.
In prosperity, the people suffer; in death, the people suffer.
Although these matters were confidential, Lin Chunhuan trusted Qin Song's character and still explained all the difficulties involved, "So, it's not that my father wants to neglect the frontier soldiers, there is really... no way." "But I can hold a banquet. , inviting women from all over the country to attend, in the name of fundraising, we can always get some money, maybe it can solve the urgent need?"
Qin Song smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The kindness of the eldest princess Qin. I know, but that is an army of 300,000. Unless you copy a Wang gentry, otherwise..."
Seeing Qin Song shaking his head, Lin Chunhuan didn't know what to say.
Wang Shen was a corrupt official in the previous dynasty. He was so corrupt that he could make the country rich, and so corrupt that he only had money left!
But being able to become a corrupt official to that extent is definitely a person with great wisdom. Not just anyone can become such a corrupt person.
What's more, under the rule of his father, the country of Sheng was almost impossible to have such a huge corruption again.
As for the others, it is a drop in the bucket and cannot solve any problems at all.
"General Qin, it's not that I don't want to help you, or that I don't feel sorry for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it's really..."
"No, princess, there is still a way." Qin Song took a sip. Pursing her lips, it seemed a bit difficult to speak, which actually made Lin Chunhuan curious.
She really couldn't think of a way to do it. Now that the treasury was empty and natural and man-made disasters continued, it was impossible to come up with a large sum of money within a period of time.
But Qin Song in front of him looked very confident, apart from being a little guilty.
"Although the imperial court does not have enough money, it does not mean that our prosperous country is gone, such as... Jianghu."
During the gap between words, Qin Song turned his head and looked at another person. Chang Huaijin looked at each other from a distance on the roof, raising his teacup as if to be a greeting.
Lin Chunhuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted after seeing Qin Song's actions, "You mean, Hidden Sword Villa?"
"It's not just Hidden Sword Villa."
Qin Song withdrew his gaze, "There are so many great sects in the world. Not only are these Jianghu people excellent in martial arts, but they are also first-rate in making money."
< br>"If there is a way to make them shed some blood, without damaging their own roots, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the frontier can survive this winter smoothly, but... the princess will be wronged."
Lin Chunhuan opened his mouth and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Chang Huaijin.
Then he nodded as if he had made a decision, "I understand, General Qin will go first, and the convoy carrying winter clothes will come soon!"
"Princess!" Caiyun shouted suddenly, startling Lin Chunhuan, and her heart pounded in her chest, "General Qin has been gone for a long time, please go back to the house."
< br>"It's freezing in the plum garden. Let's wait for a while to see if it's fresh. I'm afraid I'll get over the illness if I stay for a long time."
While talking, Caiyun put a large cloak on Lin Chunhuan, There was still a teasing smile on his face, "But Brother Feiying really cares about the princess. If he hadn't specially asked someone to look for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known you were here."
"Brother Feiying still cares about the princess. I asked the slave to wear a big cloak, because I am afraid that you, the princess, will be frozen..."
Listening to Caiyun chattering in her ears, Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips, feeling unspeakably irritated in her heart.
If it wasn't a last resort, she would not be willing to trick Fei Ying's family into providing winter clothes for the entire frontier soldiers, even if a little blood would do the trick.
It’s hard to say that half of the world would be injured.
" Caiyun." Lin Chun interrupted Caiyun without haste, and took her hand with a smile, "You call Fei Ying in, I have something to discuss with him, about our marriage... …“
