Chapter 338: Look at the Position of Empress

"The general obeys! Will not fail the Lord's trust!" Those who were named received the order solemnly.

"Han Xiao!"

"The general is here!"

"You lead 50,000 troops to guard Shuo Fang Jun and pay attention to supporting the front line at all times."

"Yes!"

"Yan Wu, Ye Chang, Nie Fengyun."

"The general is here!"

"Each of you will have 10,000 people to strengthen the patrol of various passes within the Northern Frontier, clear out possible internal responses and spies, ensure the stability of the rear, and at the same time step up training and stockpile materials!"

"Obey!"

"Wang Hou."

"Subordinate is here!"

"You use all your strength to collect intelligence on the deployment of Guansongling defenders, the personality of the generals, grain storage, etc.! Especially the detailed situation of the defenders and their main subordinates, the faster the better!"

"Yes!"

"Huang Yan."

"Ah? I am here!" Huang Yan stood up abruptly.

"You still escort the grain and grass to ensure nothing goes wrong!"

"People are there, grain is there!"

After Jiang Jinshi gave all the orders, he found Li Xinyue to sit down and chat when no one was around.

"Xinyue, how is the reserve of the Chamber of Commerce? Can it keep up?"

Fighting is not just about the bravery of soldiers, but also about logistics, otherwise the Zhenbei King would not have ended up in such a situation.

Li Xinyue put down the account book in her hand and rubbed her swollen head: "It can keep up, no problem! But if it drags on for two years, I'm afraid it won't be enough!"

In the year of recuperation, Li Xinyue accumulated a lot of silver and points, which was no problem to deal with this matter for the time being. She was just afraid that the war would drag on and the consumption would be too great.

Hearing this, Jiang Jinshi was determined: "That's good. The drought-resistant agricultural products we experimented with last year were very successful. This year we can plant them in all directions. The people have a harvest, and we collect taxes again, so it should be able to support it!"

Before, it was all supported by Li Xinyue. Now that the people can feed back, it won't be exhausted in two years.

Li Xinyue nodded: "That's true. If there is no tax and other income, sitting and eating will naturally not last long."

"I didn't expect that the war between Da Qian and Western Liang had not yet subsided, and this Si Gui actually had the courage to pull the Northern Frontier into the chessboard."

Originally, according to Jiang Jinshi's idea, the Northern Frontier would not have war for at least three years. They would quietly be a small transparent in the Northern Frontier and develop steadily.

But he was forced to enter the game early by this sudden change, leaving Jiang Jinshi with no choice.

Now, he can only block the soldiers and cover the water, stabilize the situation, let Da Qian and Western Liang know that he is not easy to bully, and protect the people's livelihood in the Northern Frontier.

"In this way, the trade route that was hard to pull out in the south is afraid to be broken!" Li Xinyue was a little worried.

The two trade routes that Jiang Jinshi opened up in the south, whether it was the Cui Clan or the Fu Clan, had a lot of income every month. After all, the market in the south was not small.

Now that this scene has happened, the other party is afraid that they don't have the courage to continue doing business with the Chamber of Commerce.

"That's not necessarily!" Jiang Jinshi shook his head and laughed: "This is why I want to show my muscles. If they see the strength of our Northern Frontier, they will bet heavily, but Guansongling is the key."

If the Imperial Court army is allowed to guard Guansongling and fight the Northern Frontier, it is almost impossible for these goods to be transported across Guansongling and hide from the Imperial Court.

But he occupied Guansongling, and there was more than one road for them to go north, so this transaction could naturally be maintained.

Li Xinyue was relieved, and teased Jiang Jinshi: "If you didn't enter the game, it would be fine. Since you decided to fight, don't let me down. Anyway, let me see if that Empress position is so charming!"

Jiang Jinshi stepped forward to rub Li Xinyue's head: "Don't worry! My brothers and I are not vegetarians, this matter can be done!"

"Um!"

Nanyang, Fu Residence.

Third Master Fu held the secret letter, his hands trembling so much that he could hardly hold it, and his face was pale. Fu Ruyan cooperated with Jiang Jinshi, and the Fu Family was involved with "rebels"! If the Imperial Court knew about this, it would be a disaster of copying the family and exterminating the clan!

"Quick! Quickly call Yan'er over! No, I will go myself!"

Third Master Fu almost stumbled and rushed to Fu Ruyan's courtyard. He regretted not forcibly stopping his daughter at the beginning. Now he must cut off this connection as soon as possible, otherwise the Fu Family will be destroyed!

When the core figures of the Fu Clan arrived at the Council Hall, Fu Ruyan hurried over and sat at the end.

The head of the Fu Clan placed several secret letters from different channels on the table. The content was all about Jiang Jinshi of the Northern Frontier, holding the Imperial Jade Seal, openly resisting the decree, reprimanding the Emperor as a "remnant of the previous dynasty," the Chancellor as a "treacherous minister," and raising the banner of "following heaven to crusade against thieves, clearing the side of the monarch."

"See it clearly?" The head of the Fu Clan's voice carried fatigue.

Third Master Fu's hand hit the table heavily: "Hiding the Jade Seal, insulting the monarch, openly rebelling! This is a crime of executing nine clans! Unforgivable!"

He looked at Fu Ruyan at the end of the seat: "Yan'er, your business with that Jiang Jinshi, immediately, immediately cut it off! All incoming and outgoing goods, accounts, letters, all destroyed! From today on, the Fu Family has nothing to do with the Northern Frontier!"

Several clan elders echoed, their faces full of horror and lingering fear:

"Third Master is right! This is a disaster of extermination! We must clear the relationship immediately!"

"That Jiang Jinshi is simply a lunatic! He actually dares to hide the Jade Seal and say such rebellious words! If we are involved, our Fu Family's century-old foundation will be destroyed!"

"Girl Ruyan, we thought it was inappropriate when you took over this business! What good path can come from the North? Now it has really caused a monstrous disaster!"

Facing her father's sharp gaze and the accusations of the clan elders, Fu Ruyan raised her head, but there was no panic or retreat as everyone expected, but a strange calmness and firmness.

"Father, uncles,"

Her firm words entered everyone's ears: "This matter, daughter cannot obey."

"What did you say?!" Third Master Fu stood up instantly, looking at his daughter in disbelief.

Fu Ruyan took a deep breath, her tone carrying unquestionable firmness: "The business with the Northern Frontier cannot be broken. Not only can it not be broken, but we should increase investment and deepen cooperation."

"You... are you crazy?!"

A clan elder with a fiery temper slapped the table and stood up: "That is a rebel! It's a matter of losing your head! You still want to deepen cooperation? Are you trying to drag our whole Fu Family into the fire pit?"

"Rebel?"

Fu Ruyan snorted coldly: "What is a rebel? Is the Imperial Court that lets the treacherous Chancellor control the government and makes the people miserable a thief, or is the Northern Frontier Prince Ming who holds the Imperial Jade Seal and wants to correct the chaos a thief?"

Her words were like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone in the hall to be speechless for a while.

Fu Ruyan actually directly questioned the orthodoxy of the Imperial Court?! ===== CHAPTER 339 =====
