Chapter 182 Drunk words are the truth
"What the general said makes sense. It's just that Helianba is not a person who plays according to common sense. He once shouted at his birthday banquet that the day he ascended the throne was the time to attack Yan Chao. Although he said later that he was drunk and nonsense, he spoke the truth after drinking, and drunk words were the truth."
"So Your Highness asks His Majesty to dispatch the border guards because of Helianba's drunken words?"
"The general doesn't believe it."
"Xidi was originally just a small tribe. If it weren't for Qianzhang Qiang Mountain, my army of Dayan would have flattened it long ago."
"The people of Xidi are good at fighting. They have a dragon and sheep god cavalry that can climb mountains and ridges. As long as the weather gets warmer, they can cross mountains at any time. The dragon and sheep beast is vicious by nature, and its terrifying general may not know."
"Have you seen the dragon and sheep?"
"The body is more than meter tall, the skin is as hard as iron, fangs, and the horns are as good as miasma. Eat live animals, including humans!"
"It really is this thing..." Ouyang Fu naturally heard of it, but he never believed it. Now Xiao Changqi said so, and he had witnessed it with his own eyes, so he had to re-weight it.
"Can your Highness know its weakness?"
"The only weakness is fear of the cold."
"It's not just because I'm afraid of the cold. Xidi also invaded Li State. How did Li State withdraw its troops and make it afraid?"
"There is a witch clan in Li State, and the Witch King can cool down and cool down."
"I heard that Your Highness and Prince Li have a good relationship. Your Highness may go to the witch clan through Prince Li."
"General Zhenyuan!" Xiao Changqi's eyes became cold and fierce, "The Prince of Li and I only know each other, and it is not a friendly relationship. Besides, war is a state affairs. Do you think the Prince of Li is a fool? Will he use the important weapon of Li's protection for the Yan Dynasty? Even if it can help, will the court not pay a price? Even the border guards have to build their own, and the general thinks that the court will pay for my Jizhou?"
Ouyang Fu was speechless for a moment. In fact, he came here this time, and asked His Majesty for his own initiative. The court did take the shirk and perfunctory attitude towards Jizhou.

In the backyard of Yipin Plaster Shop, Bao Niang came out of the house with a cup of hot tea after feeding her two children.
Ye Qingyan was instructing people to label her special label on the balm, and the sealing was made of hot paint mixed with golden sand. As long as it was opened, it could not be restored to its original state. Moreover, only she could make this hot paint. It was considered to have a layer of anti-counterfeiting protection for her products.
Given that vanilla can no longer be collected in a short period of time, all the balm and concentrated vanilla oil in her hand are the only ones. The price of Yipin Xueyan Paste has also increased tenfold, from two taels to twenty taels. But even if the price increases, the supply is in short supply. How many goods can be sold out.
"Sister Mingyan, please have a little water." Baoniang gave Ye Qingyan the teacup.
Ye Qingyan was indeed a little thirsty, so after taking the teacup, he drank it all in one breath, "Thank you, Bao Niang, are both children asleep?"
"I'm asleep." Bao Niang replied with a smile.
"I can't find my grandfather's family for a while, so you can only take it with me first. I have sent someone to find a nurse, and soon you won't have to feed two children alone."
"I have enough of them to drink, so I don't have to look for a nurse anymore."
"Enough they drink, can you not gain meat? I have eaten six meals a day, but I didn't see you gaining two more pounds of meat."
"I have been thin since I was a child, and I am not a fat person." Bao Niang said a little shyly.
"You can't be skinny, okay, let me listen to this." Ye Qingyan didn't allow her to refuse, "Where are Tiezhu and Tiehai?"
"They followed Brother Ren and said they would only come back once every half month or a month."
Qiu Chanzi led a woman to come and said to Ye Qingyan: "Miss Mingyan, the nurse you asked for was already found."
"Okay, go ahead and do your business." Ye Qingyan looked at the woman. She was dressed very simple and had patches, but she was clean and looked good, with her almond eyes and a nose that was straight and white.
"You can tell me." Ye Qingyan said to the woman.
"My name is Zhao Yanzi, I am twenty years old. My husband's family is the Niu family selling beef tongue cakes across the street. I gave birth to a girl half a month ago. I was in poor health and disappeared within twelve days. Now I have too much milk, so I want to find a job as a baby to subsidize some household income."
"Well, can you stay here? Although it's only a street away, the child is still young and cannot live without people. It's best to stay overnight."
"OK."
"Then you stay here today and take care of the two children with Baoniang."
"Thank you, Miss Mingyan, thank you, Miss Mingyan." Zhao Yanzi was worried at first, afraid that Ye Qingyan would dislike her child and would be unlucky. She found both families before and despised her.
After asking Zhao Yanzi and Baoniang to go into the house to see the child, Ye Qingyan continued to direct people to do the work.
After finishing his work at Yipin balm shop, Ye Qingyan went to the inn and restaurant again, and the business was also very prosperous.
"Lao Yuan, come here." Ye Qingyan sat in the lobby of the restaurant, kneading melon seeds, eating fresh fruits transported from the south, and taking care of the restaurant shopkeeper who was settled.
The original shopkeeper closed the account book and came over, "What are the instructions for the boss?"
"Sit down and eat a bite of melon."
"Teacher." The shopkeeper was not polite, and took it and ate it. "Sweetheart, no wonder both the boss and the guests like it so much."
"Get some back for my sister-in-law and nephews."
"Tongjia Xie."
After Ye Qingyan finished eating the melon in his hand, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief, "Ask the original shopkeeper if you have something to do."
"Please tell me, boss."
"That's right, I want to open a beggar. What place do you think is suitable?" The beggar's house is also called the Yangshiyuan, which is a place to accommodate homeless beggars and poor and helpless people.
"Open the sad land?"
"Um."
"Opening the land of grief is a good thing to accumulate blessings and virtues. But it usually requires the support of the court... Oh, look at me, I forgot the adult behind Miss Mingyan. Since that's the case, the young one really knows a place."
"where?"
"It was just west of the city. It was originally a horse farm. Later, the horse farm shopkeeper drank too much and drowned in his own cesspool. After his family treated the horses in the horse farm, the horse farm became idle."
“Is there a horse farm owner?”
"I happened to know the Lord. If the boss wants to meet, I will ask someone to come."
"Tomorrow, we will meet at the horse farm around Siyu. If the horse farm doesn't work, there is no need to talk about anything else."
"Yes, boss."
...
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and it is almost full, and May 15th is coming soon.
Xiao Changqi has not returned to the royal palace for three days, and it is more than 400 miles away from Qiang Mountain. If it were the black BMW under his seat, there would be one round trip a day.
But there are few black and BMWs in the world. For ordinary horses, including eating, drinking and resting time, they travel the most a hundred miles a day, and the better two or three hundred miles a day.
