Wei and Jin cooks

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang opened his mouth, Tinghe came over with a money box with a worried look on his face, opened it and showed her the empty money box.

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't believe it, "Am I so poor?"

Tinghe said: "When I was in Xiping, because Zhenbao Pavilion was making money, Mr. Ji would allocate a sum of money to the inner courtyard every month. Since leaving Xiping, the expenses outside have increased, so Mr. Ji has not allocated any more money to the inner courtyard. ”

In fact, Zhao Hanzhang earns a lot of money every month. Zhenbao Pavilion, Paper Mill, Bookstore, Liulifang, etc. under her name are all making money, but the more she earns, the more she spends.

The money was only kept in the account books. Since leaving Xiping, Zhao Hanzhang had not seen the money she earned and could only look at the accounts.

But it made her even more distressed because she always spent more than she earned in her account books, so she needed to constantly replenish it from the property Zhao Changyu left her.

So Zhao Hanzhang developed the habit of not looking at the account books.

As long as she doesn't look at it, she's not a liability.

But she didn't expect that the debt had moved from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard. "Then what we spend on food and clothing now..."

Tinghe took out a big money bag, took out two slings of money and three strings of money and said, "That's all. Rice and noodles are enough for two months. These money are for buying vegetables and meat. It can still last for a while, but..."

Zhao Hanzhang became nervous, "Just what?"

"It's just that the weather is getting hotter. The girl, the eldest son, and the second husband all need to make new clothes. This money will never be enough."

Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "Why make new clothes? I still keep my filial piety. I won't make new clothes this year."

"..." Tinghe said, "I was about to tell the girl that you and Erlang are going to have a filial piety ceremony, and you need to buy new clothes."

"Just take out the old clothes and wear them," Zhao Hanzhang said, "I put the old clothes away without even wearing them."

"But the girl and Erlangjun have both grown taller, and even the eldest son is a little taller than last year. Those clothes no longer fit..."

In short, new clothes are a must.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at her with wide eyes, and it took him a while to come up with a good idea, "I remember there is a saying that when making new clothes for immature people, they would leave a section of it specially, and then let it go a little bit when they grow taller. Son, this way you can wear your clothes all the time."

Tinghe said speechlessly: "Girl, why is our family so difficult? In the past, when Mr. Lang was here, you had four sets of clothes for each season. In addition, there were also big festivals and banquets. Mr. Lang also I will give you cloth and let your slaves make new clothes for you. Now that you are the master, you can’t be worse than before, right?”

"If you don't know how expensive rice, oil, and salt are, I think my grandfather was too wasteful in the past, so I've decided that when I make new clothes, remember to leave a section and a little more," Zhao Hanzhang paused and said, "Yes. Yes, aren’t there pieces of cloth among my trophies?”

"Mr. Ji took them all," Tinghe interrupted her: "He said he wanted to buy grain, grass and linen."

Zhao Hanzhang:......

Zhao Hanzhang decided to visit her grain depot.

Mr. Ji also generously showed it to her, and it happened that someone from the logistics team of the three armed forces came to pull food.

She watched the soldiers load the trucks one by one, and then transport them away one by one. The originally full grain depot was mostly empty.

Mr. Ji stood by and said, "This is their food for five days."

Zhao Hanzhang's heart dropped: "Five days?"

"Otherwise, girl, where do you think all your money has gone?" Ji Yuan said: "An army is a gold-swallowing beast, and in addition to Zhao Jiajun, you also have Bei Gongchun, Xun Xiu, and Mi Ce, three gold-swallowing beasts. Now, Another expense has been added to Gucheng, and if it weren’t for the fact that the army Zhao Ju led was barely self-sufficient, you would have been even poorer.”

Most of the army led by Zhao Ju were refugees originally recruited in Xiping. After recruiting, they directly divided the land for farming and trained during the slack time.

So they can barely support themselves when they're not at war.

Zhao Hanzhang would only ask for food and grass when the troops were assembled, so the cost of their army was the least.

And now the several armies in Luoyang are all supported by Zhao Hanzhang. With so many people, it costs a lot of food every day just to eat without training, let alone the time to train and fight.

Zhao Hanzhang felt the pressure and immediately said: "Shi Le and Liu Cong are fighting for Shangdang at the moment. They will not go south to invade in the short term. Let Xun Xiu and Mi Ce lead their troops back."

She said: "Go back now and rest for a while to harvest the wheat."

Keep an elite force and keep training. For the rest, combine farming with training. Protecting the territory is important, but having enough to eat is also important.

Ji Yuan has no objection, but... "General Mi and General Xun are injured, can they set off now?"

Zhao Hanzhang was depressed. The injury was caused by her.

So she decided to visit the two generals.

Mi Ce and Xun Xiu both occupied the house, one on the left and one on the right, just adjacent to each other.

It's not that they have the same hobbies and visions, but that both houses are occupied by Xun Xiu.

However, Xun Xiu also knew that he would not be able to stay in Luoyang long, and he would not be able to take all the space he occupied, so he was very generous and gave a set to Mi Ce, who had not grabbed anything since he entered Luoyang. He also He wanted to give it to Bei Gongchun, but Bei Gongchun didn't want it, so he went directly to Zhao Hanzhang and asked for a set.

Zhao Hanzhang went to see Xun Xiu first, but one of the soldiers guarding the gate ran into the courtyard in a hurry, and the other stopped Zhao Hanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, our general said that we can keep the things we searched in Luoyang ourselves, right?"

At that time, there was nothing left in Luoyang. All they found were small things. Zhao Hanzhang still didn't bother to fight with the soldiers about mosquito legs. Even now, she was very poor and didn't even have mosquito legs.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, but her eyes followed the soldier who ran away. She saw him running to the wall, stepping on the wall, jumping up, and jumping to the next door with his hands.

The soldier holding Zhao Hanzhang continued to talk to her, but Zhao Hanzhang had already taken a few steps back, leaning back slightly to look at the door next door, "Is General Mi's house next door?"

The soldier smiled stiffly and said, "Yes."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and walked to the next door, "Then I'll go see General Mi first."

"No, Sir, isn't our general more meritorious than General Mi? How can you meet General Mi first before meeting our general?"

The soldiers quickly followed him to the next door, wanting to stop Zhao Hanzhang, but they did not dare to stop him.

When the guards behind Zhao Hanzhang saw him boldly following him, they glared at him and stepped forward with a knife.

As expected, the soldiers did not dare to follow, and could only watch Zhao Hanzhang walk to the next door helplessly, "Our general is seriously injured..."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "General Mi is older. I first visited General Mi and then came to visit General Xun."

A strange smile appeared on her face, "Or maybe I can meet two generals at once."

General Xun's residence was difficult to enter, but General Mi's residence was easy to enter. The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to stop Zhao Hanzhang. They asked Zhao Hanzhang to come in while letting people in to report.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't even go to the front hall, but strode directly to the main room.
