489 Chen Jie said: "There is a way, but it still requires the princess's full support."
Zhao Ya said: "That's easy. As long as you can save the people in this city, I'm willing to help you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "The princess is righteous."
The princess looked at Chen Jie and said, "What do you have in mind? Tell me quickly."
Chen Jie said: "Princess, I'm afraid it won't work if I tell you, but as long as you trust me, I can definitely gather enough food to save the people of Mianshui."
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "Okay, if you can really save the people in this city, then if there is nothing else, I will give you the [True Spirit Grass]."
"really!"
Chen Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this. Zhao Ya said, "Seriously, I, Zhao Ya, never lie when I say anything."
After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately smiled and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Princess."
Zhao Ya said, "Hey, don't thank me too early. The premise is that you can save the people of this city. If you can't save the people of this city, not only will I not reward you, but I will also punish you severely."
Chen Jie laughed after hearing this and said, "Haha, Princess, don't worry, I have a brilliant plan."
Zhao Ya said: "Then I will wait and see."
Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Princess, you can rest assured."
Zhao Ya said: "You are quite confident."
Chen Jie lowered his head in silence, thinking to himself that he actually had two contingency plans long ago. The first one was that if Zhao Ya found food, that would be easy to deal with, as it would just solve the city's urgent need for coal.
If the princess cannot find the food, then Chen Jie will have to use his own methods.
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and asked, "How do you want me to cooperate with you?"
Chen Jie heard this: "Princess, you need to help me do two things now."
Zhao Ya heard this and asked, "Which two things?"
Chen Jie said: "First, the grain borrowed from Huangzhou Prefecture, the princess gave it to me to manage."
Zhao Ya said: "Okay."
"Second, the county lord must post a notice to the public, stating that it is to appease the people and call on the powerful families, gangs, and officials in the city to use their own channels to raise grain and make contributions to the country."
Zhao Ya frowned and said, "This will work? They didn't listen to my orders, so if I issue a notice to reassure the people, it will work?"
Zhao Ya looked puzzled, but Chen Jie said, "Hahaha... Princess, you don't know that sometimes, this notice is more useful than your order."
After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "These two things are easy to do, are there any others?"
Chen Jie said: "Not for now, but in the future I will definitely need the princess's help."
Zhao Ya heard this and said, "Hey, Jiusi, since the notice is useful, why don't I hold a banquet tomorrow and invite the city's leading figures. I will call on everyone, and then you can give me the ninety second-grade Tai Sui pills and say that you are helping me raise food. How do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said, "The princess is wise."
"In this way, I can give the Tai Sui Pill to the princess in public without anyone noticing it, and at the same time, I can let others find a way to accept the notice. Wonderful, wonderful!"
Zhao Ya said: "Haha, of course, the solution I come up with is not ordinary. By the way, how are you going to raise the remaining 150,000 shi of grain?"
Chen Jie said: "The hermit has a clever plan."
Zhao Ya said: "Humph, who cares to know? I'm telling you, if you mess up, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya who suddenly became arrogant and knew that she was throwing a tantrum.
However, Chen Jie was not ready to say it clearly, so he collected all the other things on the table and left the princess's residence directly.
Watching Chen Jie's departing figure, Zhao Ya looked at Ah San and said, "What do you think Chen Jiusi has come up with?"
Ah San said: "I don't know, but if he says he can do it, then he can definitely do it."
Zhao Ya was stunned and looked at Ah San and said, "You seem to trust him quite a lot."
After saying that, he rested his chin on his hand and asked, "How on earth is he going to fill this huge hole?"
…
It was dark at night. Chen Jie left Zhao Ya's residence carrying a bag of things. He found a deserted place and threw the things in the bag directly into the iron ring. Then Chen Jie walked around in circles and finally came to a wonton stall.
Someone was already waiting for him. Chen Jie sat down, looked at the three empty wonton bowls on the table and said, "Old Zhou, you must be a starving ghost."
Zhou Chu said: "Fuck, who knew that Yelu only ate raw fish? That thing didn't satisfy his hunger, so he ate more."
Chen Jie heard this and asked, "How is your injury?"
Zhou Chu said: "Okay, Gang Leader, after taking your Tai Sui Dan, not only did your injury heal, but your strength also increased, hehe..."
"That's good."
Chen Jie nodded, and Zhou Chu said, "Boss, let's talk business. Yelu asked me to burn down the granary of our fishing gang."
"Burning food?"
Chen Jie was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Did he get the food?"
Zhou Chu said: "Well, he said he got a large amount of food, but he didn't say where he got it from or how much he got."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Haha, knowing that he got the grain makes things easier. I was just worried that no one would fill the gap, and it's just right that he came. As for where he got it from, a small amount won't solve the problem, and a large amount is probably from the government warehouse. If Huangzhou Prefecture has no grain, then it must be Yong'an Prefecture, or Xiaogan Prefecture. We'll know once we check."
Chen Jie analyzed.
Zhou Chu heard this and said, "It's good that the gang leader knows what's going on. By the way, he asked me to burn the food?"
Chen Jie said: "Burn it, haha, you must burn it. If I don't burn the grain, how can I plan? Go and burn the east warehouse tomorrow."
Zhou Chu heard this and asked, "What about the food?"
Chen Jie said: "I have already switched the food. Food is so precious now. Can I just leave it there and wait for others to destroy it?"
Zhou Chu heard this and said, "Then I will really burn it tomorrow."
Chen Jie said: "Burn."
"If we don't burn it, how can Yelu get involved?"
Chen Jie raised his head and looked up at the sky and said, "Haha, Yelu, this time I want to see who is the hunter and who is the prey!"
Chapter 218 Chen Jie: Laugh, you are almost unable to laugh
In the evening, Chen Jie dragged his tired body back home, but he didn't expect that his wife was still awake.
She was sitting there with a bowl of noodles she had made in front of her.
It was covered with a lid, and she had her hand on her chin and closed her eyes, looking sleepy.
Seeing this, Chen Jie walked over gently. As soon as he approached, Su Yunjin woke up with a start. She looked up and saw Chen Jie and said, "Husband, you're back."
"Well, you've been waiting for me for a long time."
"No, I haven't."
Su Yunjin quickly denied it, and then looked at Chen Jie and said, "Have you eaten? I made noodles for my husband."
Hearing this, Chen Jie smiled and said, "No, I'm just hungry."
In fact, he had already eaten. He had eaten wontons at the wonton stall, but his wife had waited for him for so long that even if he was full, he still wanted to eat some more.
Chen Jie opened the lid of the noodles in front of him. The noodles were still hot. His wife said, "Oh, these noodles are a little lumpy. I'll make another bowl for my husband."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Haha, it's okay. As long as it's made by my wife, my husband will love it."
Chen Jie took the bowl of noodles and started eating with a slurp. Although the noodles were clumping together, his heart was warm.
"Husband, please slow down, slow down."
Su Yunjin was happy at this time, but on her face she was complaining that Chen Jie ate too fast and choked.
Chen Jie said: "Yes, okay lady."
Watching Chen Jie eating, Su Yunjin said, "Husband, I want to discuss something with you."
"Um?"
Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin. She had never spoken to him like that before.
"What's going on?"
"Husband, please promise me first."
Su Yunjin said, Chen Jie looked at his young lady and nodded, "Okay, I promise you, go ahead."
"I have been counting the days at home these past two days. Sister Huang is five months pregnant now. This is the time when the miscarriage is most likely to occur. She lives alone in the side yard. I am afraid that an accident may harm your husband's offspring. She is also very pitiful. How about you bring her over to live with us, husband?"
"Hasn't Nan Batian also been dealt with by my husband? Now I don't have to worry about Sister Huang being in danger."
Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this and looked at Su Yunjin and said, "My wife, she is your love rival!"
Su Yunjin smiled and said, "What love rival? She's just a miserable woman. My husband, please promise me, okay?"
The lady looked at Chen Jie with a pleading look on her face.
Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin's expression and felt only warmth in his heart. He understood that his wife said this with two levels of thinking. First, she was thinking for himself. Huang Wan'er was outside and he was indeed always thinking about her. His wife said this because she wanted to share his worries.
She was afraid that it would be difficult for her to bring up the matter of bringing Huang Wan'er here.
Secondly, Su Yunjin is indeed a kind person, and she really feels sorry for Huang Wan'er.
She was also pregnant and could feel the little life in her belly. She could also feel her body getting weaker and weaker. She knew how difficult it was to be pregnant and raise a child alone.
She needs the love of men.
So Su Yunjin felt sorry for Huang Wan'er living alone in a small courtyard in South City.
Moreover, Su Yunjin has also felt the strange atmosphere in the city recently. For example, Zhou Chu suddenly became indifferent, and there was a food shortage and unrest in the city. It was said that there were many more thieves in the city than before. These were what Su Yunjin was worried about.
What should we do if a thief breaks into Huang Wan'er's residence?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but worry, so she said these words to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie frowned slightly and said, "I asked her to come, but she refused."
Su Yunjin smiled gently and said, "Husband, if you ask her to come, she will naturally not come, but if you agree, I will go tomorrow."
