Chapter 147 Preparations before departure

When he got up in the morning, Yun Zheng looked refreshed.

On the other hand, Shen Luoyan was extremely resentful.

This time, she really became the wronged little daughter-in-law.

No one else, just because she hugged Yun Zheng when she got up early.

"Why do you keep staring at me?"

Yun Zheng said with a smile: "It's you who insists on hugging me, and it's not me who wants to hug you. This can't mean I'm not keeping my word, right?"

"I……"

Shen Luoyan's pretty face turned red and she said angrily: "Who said I have to hold you? I...I was just asleep!"

Even she herself didn't know how she was holding Yunzheng in such a daze.

"You were the one who hugged me when I fell asleep!"

Yun Zheng laughed and said teasingly: "I haven't blamed you for almost strangling me to death!"

"It would be better if you strangle him to death!"

Shen Luoyan glared at Yunzheng angrily, and secretly made up her mind that when she sleeps with Yunzheng again, she must sleep separately!

Yunzheng didn't take it seriously and just kept laughing.

Seeing his triumphant look, Shen Luoyan was even more furious.

After washing up, the two of them went outside to eat.

After breakfast, Ye Zi followed them to the study and handed over the account book. "This is the luggage that needs to be carried when going to Shuobei. I have sorted out part of it. Your Highness can see if there is anything missing."

"it is good!"

Yunzheng quickly opened the account book and looked at it, and Shen Luoyan also looked at it.

Ye Zi sorted out all the military supplies needed for the army to set out.

Mules and horses, grain, vinegar cloth, salt, coarse tea bricks...

They are going to Shuobei, which is almost miles away.

Even if they were all elite cavalry, it would still take seven or eight days to get to Shuobei at normal marching speed.

What's more, they were accompanied by cooks, doctors and some servants of the house.

Even if these people ride horses, they only have pack horses to ride on, and their speed and endurance are definitely not as fast as those of war horses.

Calculating this way, it would take them at least ten days to get to Shuobei.

This team of thousands of people needs a lot of supplies.

"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome!"

Shen Luoyan admired: "You actually counted so many things in such detail! If I didn't look at the account book, I wouldn't have known that I had to bring so many things."

It's a good thing she wasn't asked to do this.

Otherwise, her head might explode.

Yun Zheng looked at it for a while and replied: "There is no need for grain, the number of mules and horses should be reduced appropriately, and more pack horses should be bought..."

War horses were scarce in the Daqian Dynasty, but pack horses were not too scarce.

As long as you are willing to spend money, pack horses are relatively easy to obtain.

"are you crazy!"

Shen Luoyan looked at Yunzheng angrily, "Without food, so many of us would have starved to death before we even got to Shuobei!"

"Did I say you're stupid?"

Yun Zheng looked at Shen Luoyan speechlessly, "We are not in the enemy's territory. We will pass through so many states and counties along the way, how can we starve to death? Can't we send out exploration horses in advance and let the states and counties along the way prepare good food for us? of?"

this girl!

Stupid or not!

Bringing too much food will only slow down their march!

Now he has to race against time. Why is he carrying so much baggage?

By asking the states and counties along the way to prepare food, he can also save some money on food.

Yun Zheng's words instantly made Shen Luoyan speechless.

Ye Zixiao glanced at Shen Luoyan, nodded and said, "That's true."

Yun Zheng then ordered, "Order people to purchase rice, noodles and raw meat in large quantities. They must be sent to Mao'er Mountain before dark. Order the cooks there to hurry up and make dry food. If there is a shortage of manpower, Du Guiyuan and the others can be asked to suspend their training. , help with dry food..."

In addition, Yun Zheng also asked her to cross out everything she could purchase in Shuobei.

If you really need it, you can make purchases when you get to Shuobei.

If you can afford not to bring anything, try not to bring it!

This way, they need to carry less supplies.

Listening to Yun Zheng talking there, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

This bastard can still think of this?

"it is good!"

Ye Zi agreed and took out another account book, "This is the account book of the house's imports and exports these days. Which one of you can check it with me?"

"What's there to check?"

Shen Luoyan said without thinking: "We still can't trust you, sister-in-law?"

"It still needs to be checked."

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "We have to see how much surplus the mansion has!"

"You have to be right about your accounts, I'm not right!"

Shen Luoyan stood up, "I get a headache just looking at these, please take your time, right?"

After saying that, Shen Luoyan walked out directly.

When she was in the Shen family before, she never asked about the house's accounts. She was really not good at checking accounts.

Seeing Shen Luoyan running away, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

They knew that Shen Luoyan would definitely not stay to reconcile the accounts.

"Is there anything I need to figure out?"

Yun Zheng asked with a smile.

He knew that Ye Zi certainly didn't really want to settle accounts with him.

Ye Zi just had some words that were inconvenient to say in front of Shen Luoyan, so he deliberately pushed Shen Luoyan away.

Ye Zi replied: "Most of the silver notes and gifts received in the house have been converted into gold and cash, but with so much gold and silver, it may be a bit difficult to take it away quietly..."

I don’t know if I don’t redeem it, but I’ll be shocked if I redeem it.

She didn't even know that Yunzheng was so rich.

All the property in the house was converted into cash, amounting to more than four million taels!

Although Yunzheng asked her to exchange everything into gold, the bank did not have that much gold for them to exchange.

She still thought of some ways and exchanged some gold from the merchants.

But even so, there are still nearly two million taels of silver that cannot be exchanged for gold.

If they blatantly took away such real money, they would definitely arouse suspicion.

But it is not easy to take away so much gold and silver quietly.

This was the first time in her life that she had to worry about too much gold and silver.

Listening to Ye Zi's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I realized that I did a very stupid thing!"

"what's up?"

Ye Zi asked without knowing why.

Yun Zheng replied bitterly: "I know that I will go to various states and counties to find food along the way. Why didn't I think of asking me to bring my banknotes and exchange them at various states and counties along the way?"

"..."

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

right!

They all ignored this issue!

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed a stupid thing to do.

You can't exchange those silver coins into banknotes now, can you?

"Exchanging along the way will definitely waste a lot of time, so just think of it as saving time!"

Ye Zi couldn't help laughing.

Rare!

Yunzheng also made miscalculations sometimes.

"That's all I can think about now."

Yun Zheng rubbed his head and thought silently for a moment, then a smirk suddenly appeared on his face.
