Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Chapter 318 General Gu is resourceful

"Besides, the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin are strong. If they have weapons again, won't they attack us in turn?"

"This approach was not a wise move. Instead, it only focused on one thing and lost the other. Although we got war horses, it put the Yu Dynasty in danger."

"Besides, that King of Jin is not a fool. He knew that our Yu Dynasty was short of war horses, so he still used war horses to replace them?"

"Isn't he afraid that we have war horses and attack them?"

Xia Zian saw that his wife's patriotic feelings and enthusiasm were stirred up, and she quickly explained the reason, fearing that her wife might have fetal gas again.

"Miss, don't be angry, just listen to what I have to say first."

"What General Gu wants to trade for weapons is not horses, but cows and ewes."

"The weapons traded with the Jin Kingdom are also scrap metal that was eliminated by our Yu Dynasty."

"Broken metal? Cows and ewes?" Wen Yunyun stared at him in confusion.

"Well, General Gu presented some weapons blueprints to the emperor, which are a hundred times more powerful than the previous weapons."

"So in the eyes of the Jin people, what they exchanged are sophisticated weapons from our Yu Dynasty, but in fact we have been secretly building new and more powerful weapons for a long time."

"When a war actually breaks out, they will fight us with the weapons we have eliminated, and they can only fight with an egg against a stone."

Wen Yunyun nodded, so that's what happened.

No wonder he didn't explain it in detail in front of everyone before. It involves a secret weapon, so naturally everyone can't get it.

"What about the cows and ewes?"

Xia Zian smiled: "This is the brilliance of General Gu."

"General Gu used the scarce weapons of the Jin Kingdom in exchange for cattle and sheep all over their land. The wealthy businessmen of the Jin Kingdom would naturally be willing to exchange."

"If he hands the weapons to the King of Jin's court, it will be a great achievement."

"So, the gold man traded all the cows and ewes within his sphere of influence."

"After all, a cow is exchanged for a weapon, and three ewes are exchanged for an armor. This business seems to be extremely cost-effective."

Wen Yunyun was still a little dizzy when he heard this: "You suddenly purchased a large number of cows and ewes, what would the other party do if they are not curious?"

"The reason is naturally well thought out. There was a great disaster in the Yu Dynasty last year, and there was a shortage of food, cattle and sheep. However, there is no shortage of rich people in Jinling City. If they want to eat cattle and sheep, they have to pay a high price to buy them. As long as these cattle are You can make a lot of money by transporting sheep to Jinling.”

Wen Yunyun nodded. This reason was very easy to convince. Even she felt that there was no flaw in it.

"No, why can't we only eat cows and ewes, but not bulls and rams?"

Xia Zian smiled: "Young lady is still smart, the golden man asked the same question."

"General Gu said that ewe beef is delicious and the fishy smell is not that strong."

"And the female eats less than the male, which saves some food and grass during transportation."

Wen Yunyun nodded, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.

"So, why does Gu Hanzhou only want the female child??"

"What does the acquisition of these cows and ewes have to do with war horses?"

Xia Zian looked at his wife's confused look and said, "Because mothers can give birth to cubs."

"What do you mean?" She still didn't understand.

"Animals are just like humans. There are only males but no females. How can we reproduce the next generation?"

"The Kingdom of Jin is a nomadic country. They do not rely on growing food, but rely entirely on grazing. If the herdsmen lose their cattle and sheep, it will cost lives."

"General Gu took away all the cows and ewes from one of the tribes. Only the bulls and rams are left. They will not continue to give birth. When they are eaten and sold out, their tribe will be wiped out."

"It's the same as our reduction in grain production. Reduction in production will cost lives."

Wen Yunyun's eyes widened in surprise: "Can it still be like this?"

Xia Zian said with admiration: "How else can I say that General Gu is smart?"

"It's just...don't the Jin people understand such a simple truth? Don't they know the importance of cows and sheep?"

"Of course I know, and every household has one or two left."

"But it will still have a great impact on next year's reproduction. If we encounter another natural or man-made disaster, the consequences will be disastrous."

"It's just that the uncivilized herdsmen lived too hard and didn't understand what ecological balance was. When they learned that someone was willing to buy them at a high price, they sold everything they could."

"The wealthy businessman from the Kingdom of Jin was eager to make contributions. He was afraid of missing a good opportunity and made the deal directly without considering the seriousness of the matter."

"It's just that he reacted right after the deal was made. Thinking about the disaster of massive production cuts next year, he turned pale with fear."

"It's just that it's not that easy for him to exchange those cows and ewes back."

Wen Yunyun's eyes lit up: "Gu Hanzhou asked him to trade his war horse?"

"Miss is still smart."

"That person's name fell into our trap. Are you still willing to change it?"

"You have to be willing if you don't want to. If this matter is brought to the Jin King's court, it will be a serious crime of genocide."

"So he could only secretly collect war horses, and even took the initiative to find ways to help us transport the war horses out of the border of Jin Kingdom."

“This way we can hide everything and restore everything to its original state!”

After Wen Yunyun heard Gu Hanzhou's entire plan, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "High, really high!"

"It's just that as soon as we sent the war horses to the border of Dayu, the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin chased us. General Gu was arrested in order to take care of the overall situation."

"General Gu fell into the hands of the Jin people and suffered a serious crime. He narrowly escaped death. His ability to come back alive was all thanks to Miss Chen's rescue and treatment."

"It's not General Gu's fault that things are in this situation today. Don't make things too difficult for him."

"He is not merciless towards Ms. Lin. He always reads the letters Ms. Lin gave him over and over again."

"If you are really heartless, why would you care about her letter?"

"Although General Gu is taciturn, I know he has Mrs. Lin in his heart."

After Wen Yunyun heard the whole story, he sighed helplessly.

No matter who this happens to, there seems to be no solution.

It can only be said that God’s will plays tricks on people!

I wonder how Shuang'er will handle it?

"You've been tired for so many days. You should rest early. I'll go check on Shuang'er. Maybe she will feel better if she knows the truth."

Xia Zian stood up immediately: "I'll go with you."

"No, it doesn't matter if you stand aside while we women are talking."

"Then shall I go see General Gu?"

"What's so good about him? He's accompanying Miss Chen. Who cares about you?"

"..."

"That's fine."

Now he helped Wen Yunyun to the kitchen, where Qing'er had already prepared the food.

"Leave some for my uncle and put the rest in the food box."

"Yes."

Xia Zian felt indescribable warmth and satisfaction in his heart when he heard her take the initiative to leave food for him.

It seems that the young lady still has him in her heart, and she is not forced to be with him just because they are married.

Wen Yunyun took the food box to the old house, where Yang and Wang were comforting and persuading Lin Shuangshuang.

Lin Shuangshuang sat still and said nothing.
