Chapter 101: Fifty-Nine Lifts
Li Qing took the gold medal in Zhu Biao's hand with a smile and said, "Master, you are so powerful, and this good thing." Is this golden? Worth the money, right? Li Qing said that he was about to put it in his mouth and bite it, but Zhu Biao grabbed it.
Everyone is too lazy to pay attention to Li Qing, the speed of this change of face is fast, if you were wronged just now, you will not be happy. The gold medal is of course golden, and the word 'pardon' on Zhu Biao's piece was engraved by Emperor Taizu himself.
Li Qing and Zhu Biao laughed twice, put the gold medal in his arms, turned his head and continued: "I heard that the prime minister's door is a seven-rank official, and the nine-rank joined the army, I guess it is better than a gatekeeper, and the grass people thank everyone again." “
Everyone's faces couldn't hold it, and Emperor Taizu said: "The ninth rank is a little lower to join the army, but the highest in the army is only from the seventh grade." I'll give you a seven-grade to join the army. ”
Li Qing thanked Yushi and said: "We don't suffer a loss in this deal, this is called a win-win situation." Emperor Taizu likes Li Qing's words very much, it is not who takes advantage of whom, it is a win-win situation.
Emperor Taizu wrote a letter to the emperor, asking the emperor to canonize Li Qing of Lijia Village, Lin'an County, to join the army for the seventh grade, and the decree was directly issued to Yulin Pass, so that Li Qing could report directly to Yulin Pass. He also mentioned the matter of 3,000 stone soybeans, and asked the household department and the military department to arrange people to come over to collect and transport them.
Emperor Taizu asked Li Qing to prepare soybeans, and then rode to the border pass first. Li Qing directly said that he couldn't ride a horse, and finally Emperor Taizu agreed that Li Qing would go with them and let Zhu Biao teach Li Qing to ride a horse on the road.
Li Qing was about to pack up his things and go to the border gate, Li Taohua and Zhao Lian found Li Qing and said that they wanted to follow the master to take care of the master. Li Qing couldn't get angry when he looked at the sincere faces of the two, so he could only comfort: "Two sisters, have you ever seen that soldier go out on the expedition, and he still has a maid fan by his side to beat his back?" Li Taohua and Zhao Lian looked at the old man's indecent appearance, and laughed out loud, the two of them knew that it was impossible to follow the master, so they could only try to prepare all the things that the master used on weekdays.
The sisters filled five large boxes full of things, two large boxes of four seasons of bedding; Two large boxes of clothes for the four seasons; A box of fur cloaks, fur gloves, fur hats and boots, and even the tiger skins that Li Qing usually lay on were packed. The two of them were still discussing whether to bring the bath bucket that the old man bathed in on weekdays.
Wang Wensheng prepared a box of books for Li Qing, which was full of the art of war and tactics explained by Sima Yunyi and Li Jin back then; Wang Wensheng also specially asked the county magistrate to help find the map of Datang and the detailed map of the border pass.
Li Guihua packed a box of pots and pans, he thought that there must be no good food in the army, if the old man was greedy, he could go hunting and come back and make it himself.
Zhao Yushi packed a box of fine rice and white noodles, a box of seasonings and dried vegetables and jerky, and asked his son Zhao Xing to write on the box, 'Eat, put it in a ventilated and dry place'. Zhao Xing wrote all the boxes by the way.
Li Geng, Wu Shi and Zheng Lin packed the bows and arrows on the mountain, the trap tools for hunting, and the guns all down the mountain, and packed them into fifty boxes.
When Li Qing returned to Li Qing's house with a group of officials, and was about to pack up his baggage and leave, he saw the ten carriages parked at the gate of Li Qing's house, and Taizu and his party were also stunned, most of them were thinking, is this for one person?
When Emperor Taizu saw it, he asked Zhu Biao: "I don't know, I think it's a young lady who is married, this is much more than forty-eight lifts." The officials laughed when they heard this, Zhu Biao was really speechless, thinking that when he went to the battlefield, he was a suit of armor, a big knife, and a war horse. If the officials knew that there were fifty boxes of traps and hidden weapons, they would not know how they would feel.
Emperor Taizu said: "Li joins the army, give you half an hour, hurry up and deal with it, and we will set off in half an hour." “
Li Qing was furious and said, "Am I going to fight or marry, even the dowry doesn't need so much." Hurry up, pack it up, I can only catch a carriage and go. After Li Qing finished speaking, he followed everyone to the south hall.
Li Qing's family was like a war, and they heard this and said: "I must bring this box, which is used by the master on weekdays." The one said, "I eat these things, and the army must not eat well." In the end, they agreed that there was no need for the lord to bring so many weapons, and that their lord had donated so much food, so should they still donate weapons?
Emperor Taizu heard the movement in the courtyard next door and sent someone to inquire to see what Li planned to take with him. Li Qing saw that all the officials were very interested, so he followed them. A civil servant also deliberately copied a list of goods, and ran back to read: "One box of bedding in winter, one box of bedding in spring, summer and autumn, one box of winter clothes, one box of clothes in spring, summer and autumn, one box of fur products, one box of pots and pans, one box of grain, one box of materials, one box of books and maps, and one box of hunting equipment." There is also a wooden barrel for bathing. Everyone was really speechless after hearing this, and no one who saw it would say that he was going to join the army.
Li Qing felt that it was okay, most of them were used by him. By the time they got out, the ten boxes and barrels had been covered with oiled paper and tied. Li Qing drove the carriage and followed the inspection of the imperial history under the reluctant gaze of Li Qing's land boundary.
Emperor Taizu and his entourage stayed in the Li Qing realm for too long, and after setting off, Zhu Biao ordered to speed up and hurry. The officials followed Taizu to travel, not to mention civil officials, even the concubine was tired of sitting in the carriage, and she could go out to ride a horse, so everyone didn't feel anything, but Li Qing was suffering. He usually drove the carriage away, and there were not so many things in the carriage.
Zhu Biao had no choice but to unload a carriage loaded with grain and grass, and the carriage of Emperor Taizu was much better than Li Qing in terms of both horses and carts, Li Qing was overjoyed, and followed the soldiers to move ten boxes and a bath bucket to the carriage with a shed. The carriages used by Emperor Taizu to load grain and grass are all specially made, and the shed behind them is sealed, but the appearance looks like it is carrying people. The soldiers transporting the grain tied the ten boxes before handing over the carriage to Li Qing.
Li Qing drove the military carriage, which was slower than a snail, and Zhu Biao could only order Li Qing to take the carriage of other civilian officials and let the professional come to catch up.
The carriage was very bumpy, Li Qing didn't want to see the scenery on the first day, his internal organs were about to be displaced, not to mention, he vomited a lot. Although Zhu Biao felt distressed when he looked at his apprentice, as long as he thought that Li Qing would go north to the frontier in ten days, he could only be ruthless and pull Li Qing out to learn knives. Li Qing knew that Master's mind was very cooperative. Originally, Zhu Biao planned to teach his apprentice to ride a horse first, but Li Qing was unwilling, saying that he had to learn the knife first, and Zhu Biao wanted to sit for a day and move his muscles and bones, so he taught the knife first.
Zhu Biao taught Li Qing the knife technique, Li Qing's learning ability is not strong, and Li Qing memorized all the knife techniques a day. Emperor Taizu sighed and said: "It's like this every day, and you can still learn sword techniques, which is called practicing martial arts." ”
