Chapter 274 Fire, not noticed by the Ji family

Xiao Jinglan ignored him, but his face was definitely not good-looking.

It was snowing heavily today, and it was supposed to be a fire, but the fire not only started, but it was also extremely violent.

This fire burned at least 80% of the food and fuel in it. The weather is so cold now that there are only these things left. How can we support Weiyuan to survive this cold wave?

"Prince, I'll go in and take a look." Feng Wuyou greeted Xiao Jinglan, and then took Nie Zheng and a few Yan Wei to the depths of the fire.

"Princess, what do we want to see?" Nie Zheng asked in a low voice.

"No matter how the fire is burned, there will be a fire point. We must find the fire point."

Feng Wuyou explained lightly, and then told Nie Zheng and the Yan Guards who were following him carefully about judging the fire point, so he let them scatter and search.

She talks about some simple methods, but at most fire scenes, it's enough to have these methods.

Soon, Feng Wuyou discovered a fire point, which burned more heavily than other places, and could be found with the surrounding fire.

She stopped there, observed carefully, and after a moment, she touched somewhere, then put it between her nose and smelled it.

Suddenly, a pungent smell came. When Feng Wuyou's face immediately sank.

At this time, Nie Zheng and several other Yan Wei called Feng Wuyou one after another: "Princess, please look at this place. Is it the fire point that the princess said?"

Feng Wuyou's expression frightened and soon returned to normal. He went to those places to see it, and then his expression became even more solemn.

"Princess, shouldn't there be only one fire point?" Nie Zheng said in confusion.

Generally, a fire must be caused by accident in one place and then spread to other places.

However, according to the method mentioned by Feng Wuyou, several places meet the characteristics of the fire point.

Feng Wuyou sneered slightly and said, "If you set fire, there will naturally be more than one fire point."

Nie Zheng's expression was stunned.

set fire?

Who is so bold that he dares to burn off supplies during a disaster?

What do they want to do?

"Princess, could it be Xi Qin..."

He suddenly became nervous. If Xi Qin took advantage of the disaster and burned their supplies, let them get in chaos first, and then sent a large army to attack, then they would be in danger.

Feng Wuyou shook his head: "Although Xi Qin did not lose any troops this time, he lost a large number of middle and low-level officials. There is not a newly promoted official for a year or two, and it is not so easy to get started. General Murong Yi will not send troops at this time."

She almost called out the word "General".

Habits are sometimes terrible.

But her judgment was fine.

In war, it is not only about human life, but also about logistics, economy, and national strength.

Although there is no problem with Murong Yi in the war, those newly replaced officials may not be able to guarantee his logistics.

Moreover, the Western Qin has just settled down now, and it is impossible for him, the emperor, to leave the capital easily.

"Then..." Nie Zheng wanted to say something, but Feng Wuyou waved his hand and said, "Don't tell anyone about setting fires, you can just know."

Walking to Xiao Jinglan's side, Feng Wuyou nodded at Xiao Jinglan's questioning gaze.

They just rejected the requests of the wealthy businessmen today, and the granary caught fire at night. They knew who did it.

Feng Wuyou went to check it out, it was just to confirm it.

Xiao Jinglan's eyes suddenly became sharp.

This group of people is really useless to achieve their own interests.

Every household has sufficient reserves, but do they ignore the lives and deaths of Yan Yun and the hundreds of thousands of people?

After burning the granary, how do ordinary people live?

"Clean the site, sort out the remaining things, and find a place to resettle." After giving the order, Xiao Jinglan stopped staying and took Feng Wuyou back home.

The next day, news of the fire in the granary immediately spread throughout the city.

There were several people gathered in Wu Zi’s mansion, all of whom were well-known wealthy families in the surrounding cities.

Weiyuan Changshi Li Changsheng and Yiyang Tong Yuandao were all in it.

"Hmph, after burning Weiyuan's granary, I want to see how long he can hold on."

"We kindly sent our daughter to the door, but he refused to give us face, and now we don't have to give him face."

"We must let him know that in Weiyuan, without us, he will be unable to move forward."

They drank, ate, and talked about their actions last night.

"Okay!" Wu Zi suddenly shouted.

He frowned and said, "You are all rotten in your stomach last night, and no one is allowed to mention another word. Also, if I am not sure, the King of Qin will come to us again soon. At that time, I will take your attitude back and give me respect. If I really annoyed the King of Qin and use the Xiao family army to surround you, I will see that you have lost your life, so why are you still dreaming about spring and autumn?"

After saying this, these wealthy families were also shocked and sweated.

Yes, although the King of Qin needs their assistance in some aspects, he is the leader of the army after all.

If he was annoyed and sent someone to suppress them, they would really have no way to do anything.

Wu Zi said: "I heard that Princess Youlan of Donglin has sent someone to send food here, but I have sent someone to intercept him. Therefore, we only want to make the King of Qin surrender in the past few days. Moreover, we must not force the King of Qin to force him to surrender to Donglin. You must know that only Yan Yun is independent can we get the greatest benefits."

Yanyun almost covers all the borders between the Western Qin and the rest of the countries. If you want to sell your things to the Western Qin, you can only pass by them.

Although Yan Yun nominally belonged to the Western Qin Dynasty, because of the Xiao family army stationed, it was actually the same as independent. If Xiao Jinglan led his troops to Donglin and threw the Western Qin area to Murong Yi, then Murong Yi could have moved the front forward and went directly to trade with other countries.

Their advantages disappear and they will have no money to make.

So they had to force Xiao Jinglan to achieve their goals, but they would never dare to force Xiao Jinglan to be anxious.

Actually, they are also in trouble.

Wu Zi is still very authoritative among these people. After hearing his words, these people should be.

And Wu Zi stopped talking and started a banquet with them again.

While they were talking, a little girl outside the hall kept eavesdropping. After almost all of her hearing, she ran away secretly.

Run back to Wu Wanyi's pavilion and said everything he heard to Wu Wanyi, and Wu Wanyi's eyes suddenly shone.

"Hmph, Feng Wuyou, let's see how many days you can be powerful!" She said resentfully: "Miss, I want you to personally invite me into the Qin Prince's Mansion!"

In the Qin King's Mansion, Xiao Jinglan summoned a group of officials from the Xiao family army to urgently negotiate today's affairs.

After he arrived in Weiyuan, he would first allocate enough military rations. At the moment of Wei, he would probably take out part of the military rations to rescue him.

But how much military ration can be? What we have made up is still very limited.

Feng Wuyou did not go with Xiao Jinglan, but instead ordered Nie Zheng in the room.

"Have you heard everything I said clearly?" Feng Wuyou asked in a deep voice.

Nie Zheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, princess, I've heard it clearly."

What Feng Wuyou asked them to do was not difficult, but it was very urgent.

but……

Nie Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Empress, even if we do these things now, we may not let those people take out the food and fuel."

You should know that every household has its own secret warehouse for storing these things. Generally, there are very few things on the surface. Real large amounts of goods will be collected in secret places.

The current situation in Weiyuan must be solved by making out all the things in the hands of these wealthy families. Even if you find one or two, it will not be of much use.

Moreover, the location of the secret warehouse for a large number of people like Wu Zi and Li Changshi is even more hidden and cannot be found for a while. They have time to transfer or destroy these things.

If that were the case, Yan Yun's situation would still not be able to ease.

It’s so cold right now. If there is a big disaster, there will definitely be a big battle after that. Then there will be a big chaos after that.

They want to completely pacify these things, but I don’t know how much time it will take. By then, Xi Qin has already recovered its vitality. If things progress to this point, they will be in real danger.

"You don't have to worry about this, just do what I said. Remember, time is tight, and at the latest tomorrow and the morning of the next day, I must see something as detailed as possible."

This is not the first time Nie Zheng has followed Feng Wuyou. He is very convinced of Feng Wuyou's judgment and wisdom. Since Feng Wuyou said there is no problem, he just needs to do it.

Immediately bowed and said, "I'm going to leave."

Nie Zheng opened the door and ran out, and happened to bump into Ji Qing who was about to come in.

He had no time to say hello, so he just gave in a moment and left in a hurry.

Ji Qing walked into the door and pouted, "Miss..."

"No." Feng Wuyou knew what he wanted to say as soon as he opened his mouth, and asked directly: "Have you read the homework I assigned to you?"

Over the years, the contact between the Ji family and her has become increasingly distant. Even when she arrived in Yanyun, the Ji family knew that she needed money and materials in urgent need of support, but she did not express any expression, and even did not even come to write a letter to ask.

The Ji family's behavior has already given Feng Wuyou some opinions. After all, although she helped the Ji family withdraw from Anling, the Ji family was not worthy of their own.

Her master is nothing but a nameless person and is not taken seriously by the Ji family.

However, the Ji family is the original owner's mother's family, and Feng Wuyou cannot let the Ji family fall into the hands of others.

Ji Qing is the son of Ji Da’s shopkeeper. Feng Wuyou believes that he must have the talent for business, so she plans to train Ji Qing and let him help him take care of the Ji family in the future.

Therefore, since she returned to Beijing, she silently learned some of the business management teaching materials and accounting methods she learned in her previous life based on her memory, and asked Ji Qing to study. Xiao Jinglan also asked Ji Qing to hire two big shopkeepers to teach Ji Qing some things in the shop.
