After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 393 Lincheng

Qingfeng and the others looked at him: "But how?"

"The court officials felt that he was worrying too much. Daxia hasn't opened its seas yet, so how could there be an enemy attack?" Yun He told them what he objected to at the time.

Xu Li rolled his eyes: "Why do I find that these people are sitting in a well and looking at the world?"

Chai Song didn't say anything, but his expression showed that he agreed with Xu Li's statement.

Qingfeng looked at Yunhe: "What does your majesty mean?"

Yun He: "The treasury is empty. It's no joke to raise a new army. The Ministry of Revenue will not agree to it."

Porphyry nodded: "I understand this very well. We have applied for equipment replacement for a long time, but it has not been approved."

Xia Wanniang looked at the people and said, "In addition to silver, food and ships are also a huge expense. According to the previous grain production of Daxia, it is considered good to be able to stabilize the people's hearts. If there is another natural disaster, the granary reserves will only support two years at most."

Qingfeng: "So, we still have a lot to do. Daxia looks big, but if there is a real war, I'm afraid that food and grass will become a problem."

Porphyry and the others remained silent. There was nothing they could do about it. So before the grain production in Daxia increased, Daxia must not be in chaos. Otherwise, I'm afraid...

Xia Wanniang didn't say anything else: "Write a letter to the higher-ups. The navy must be established. As for what is missing, let them tell me."

Qingfeng and the others looked up at her: "You are not kidding."

Xia Wanniang calmly drank tea from the cup: "Do you think I'm joking?"

Several people looked at each other, and finally no one said anything.

After things here were resolved, Xia Wanniang spent the rest of her time focusing on spending time with her children.

She didn't ask Qiu He and the others for help, and she took care of the children by herself.

Aunt Xiao wanted to help but she was rejected.

They did not encounter any more pirates afterwards and had a relatively safe journey.

When the children arrived at the dock, they were almost recovered from their illness, but they still had runny noses and coughs.

Their coughs became more severe when they inhaled the cold air, so Xia Wanniang found some soft and breathable fabrics and asked Qiu He and Zhu Yao to make masks for them.

I have to say that Zhuyao is very good at embroidery. She can also make some new things based on some things.

When they arrived at the dock, the ice on the river was quite thick. Fortunately, they arrived in time, otherwise they would have been frozen to the river.

Because something happened on the road, Xia Wanniang gave Yao Jiang and the others three times more silver as compensation.

Yao Jiang and the others did not refuse. After accepting it, they thanked them and said, "Madam Xiao, are you going to take a carriage from here?"

Xia Wanniang looked at the thick snow in Lincheng. If she took a carriage, the horses might not be able to bear it. "Let's wait and see before making a decision. Let's find a hotel to stay in first. What are your plans?"

Yao Jiang and his friends smiled sheepishly: "We can't go back now. We plan to rent a yard here and go back in the spring."

Xia Wanniang thought for a moment and gave them a few more taels of silver: "This money is the rent for the yard. If it weren't for us, we wouldn't have to stay in Lincheng for so long."

Yao Jiang waved his hands quickly and said, "You have given us enough. Although the journey was quite dangerous, we were not injured. You can come to us when you want to go back in the future." After that, he left with the boatman.

Chai Song had already booked a room at an inn in Lincheng. Since there were so many of them, they simply booked a small courtyard behind the inn.

Let’s take a rest today and think about how to get to Maocheng tomorrow.

Xia Wanniang asked everyone to rest in the inn and asked the waiter to bring hot water and Lincheng's specialties. She herself prepared to go out and take a look.

In this weather, she was afraid that it might be difficult to rent a carriage or find a driver to drive one, so she planned to go outside the city to check the road conditions.

Otherwise, if the snow is too thick, the carriage may not be able to move forward and the journey will be delayed.

Xu Li went out and saw her going out, and immediately chased after her: "You want to go out?"

Xia Wanniang turned her head and glanced at him: "Well, I'll go see if I can rent a carriage at the carriage shop."

Xu Li: "Didn't Chai Song go there?"
