When Ye Youran and the other two walked to the entrance of the flower hall, the maid Liu Yulan sent to inquire about the news had already returned and was waiting at the entrance of the flower hall.

"Girl." The maid came over and said in a low voice, "I have already found out the matter clearly. The military rations sent by the court were less than 20% in the past. The 100,000 soldiers could only eat one meal a day, but it was still rare. The soldiers could hardly hold on. There was no food to sell in the grain shop. General Wei found the Wang family. The Wang family saved a batch of food in their hands last autumn. The Wang family was willing to give the food to General Wei, but the condition was that Major General Wei would marry the cousin of the Wang family. That batch of food was the dowry of the cousin of the Wang family."

Using food to seize the lives of 100,000 soldiers, no wonder Wang Bolai and Liu Manqin were so confident that Wei Zijin would agree to take Wang Qianlan as their concubine.

However, since ancient times, when a concubine enters the door, the legitimate wife must agree. The legitimate wife drinks the tea that the concubine respects and receives the concubine's kneeling ceremony. Only when the concubine's title is legitimate.

Without a legitimate wife, and without a legitimate wife, the legitimate wife did not drink tea. This concubine was not justified when she entered the house. She would attract laughter and make the servants at home look down upon her.

No wonder Liu Manqin was instigating her to take a concubine to Wei Zijin when she saw her. She was afraid that she would not agree or that Wang Qianlan would be injustice and dissatisfied when she entered the door?

"Is the court short of food now?" Liu Yulan was worried. She thought that there was only one Shiban Town that was suffering from a drought.

"I heard from the Wang family that the whole country is causing disasters. For example, our Shiban Town has caused a drought and less food is collected, and people cannot starve to death for the time being. But there is a flood in the south. I heard that many houses have flooded, many people have died, and many people have been displaced and homeless."

This year's disaster is nationwide, with rains in the south and drought in the north. The court was also dying of headaches because of this. It mobilized grain in various grain warehouses across the country, and some were saved and some were transported to the border for food to the soldiers.

But since ancient times, there have been too many corrupt officials. After layers of exploitation, there are not one ten left in the food.

The food that is distributed to the people is only enough to eat thin meals a day, which can maintain the amount of food for one month. If the military rations sent to the military camp are less than three left, it is enough to have a porridge meal a day for one meal for two months.

But the adults who were responsible for sending military rations told General Wei that before the new grain came down, the court could not raise food.

Without food and the soldiers are not full, how can they fight?

General Wei was anxious and sent people to buy food everywhere. Not only Shiban Town, but also the grain shops in the surrounding county and provincial capitals were closed.

Occasionally, one or two stores are not closed, and there is no food sold inside.

Some sellers are only 180 kilograms, which is three times the price before.

One hundred and eighty kilograms of food, one hundred thousand soldiers, was not enough to drink rice soup, which made General Wei worry.

Look, General Wei found out from somewhere that the Wang family saved a batch of grain and wanted to spend money to buy grain from the Wang family, but the Wang family did not sell it, and only made a dowry for Wang Qianlan.

After hearing the whole story, Liu Yulan was so angry, "It's so..." she was despicable.

She was a junior and couldn't scold her elders, so she gritted her teeth and swallowed the last two words.
