Chapter 32 Preparations for Departure
"Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, will you follow me to the base or will you meet the Chamber of Commerce yourself?" Ling Yu asked, since he took over this matter, he naturally had to hurry up and prepare, two days were still relatively tight, and now the transportation was not as convenient as in his previous life, and it was estimated that it would take a short time to go from the capital to Kaifeng Mansion.
"Okay, I'll go to the base with you, after all, I still have to hand over things." Zhou Shaobin also accepted his fate, if he can't go, he can't go, but things still have to be done, not only to do but also to do well.
Soon, the two came to the barracks again, Ling Yu summoned the officers and the managers of the Academy of Sciences, briefly said the emperor's will, and then explained the situation and progress of Zhou Shaobin's current affairs, and then picked a company to set off with him, led by the company commander Luo Quan, in order to facilitate the departure, directly let them be stationed outside the city.
The selected sergeants were all smiling, and those who were not selected only had a bitter smile, Ling Yu saw this scene, so he had to appease and explain, the base still needs to be guarded, it is impossible to take them all out, everyone also expressed their understanding after hearing this, and they also swore that they must guard the rear.
Then Ling Yu asked the sergeants of the first company to check the equipment, and each brought 3 replacement barrels, 3,000 rounds of ammunition, and a number of spirit crystals.
Originally, according to the army establishment of the Great Zhou, only the officers and soldiers of the baggage team had storage spirit guides, and they were specially responsible for transporting grain and grass for the army, and followed the actions of the army.
They will not be like Ling Yu's ancient army in his previous life, because with such a thing as a storage spirit guide, they can also catch up with the speed of the army, so the combat efficiency is also higher, and the logistics baggage team of all countries in this world is almost the same.
And Ling Yu's new army, each person is issued a storage ring, it is more convenient, the food and grass materials needed before departure are distributed to individuals, each person's storage ring can basically be loaded with enough food and grass for 1 year, and weapons are carried as needed.
This time, Ling Yu didn't let them bring so much, after all, in the country, all localities can get supplies, so they can bring 1 month's grain and grass materials.
After the base was arranged here and all the things that should be brought with him, Ling Yu led the officers and soldiers of the company back to the city, while Zhou Shaobin stayed behind to take over various affairs without accompanying him.
After returning to the city, Ling Yu settled a company of officers and soldiers, and then returned to the Chamber of Commerce, hearing that the emperor sent Ling Yu to deal with the floods of the Yellow River, Zhou Ling's beautiful eyes were full of tears, and his heart was both reluctant and worried, Ling Yu had to comfort Zhou Ling when he saw this, invited her to the house at night to get together, and then explained some things about the Chamber of Commerce to Zhou Ling in detail.
stayed with Zhou Ling at the Chamber of Commerce until more than six o'clock, and Ling Yu asked the guy to close the shop and went home with Zhou Ling.
It is not the first time that Zhou Ling has been to the Ling Mansion, so everyone knows Zhou Ling, although they know the relationship between Zhou Ling and their young master, but after all, they are not married, so everyone respectfully calls Her Royal Highness Princess Zhou Ling.
When he arrived at the house, Ling Yu asked Xin Yue to call out as well, and then instructed his subordinates to prepare dinner.
When Xinyue saw Zhou Ling, she naturally saluted respectfully, Xinyue did a good job in this regard, and she also knew that Zhou Ling would inevitably be the eldest woman of the Ling family in the future, so she was very affectionate with a sister, and Zhou Ling was not as old as her.
Ling Yu saw that the two daughters were chatting about the same, so he told Xin Yue about going out, Xin Yue's reaction was similar to Zhou Ling, and Ling Yu comforted him again, and now the two women looked at him worriedly, making him helpless for a while.
"I said, you don't have to do this, it's not life and death......" Ling Yu was interrupted by Xin Yue before he finished speaking.
"Husband, don't say it so unlucky, if you really have a case, why not if Yue'er follows you." Xinyue choked back tears.
"Brother Ling, Sister Xinyue is right, Ling'er thinks the same way." Zhou Ling said with a firm look in his eyes.
Looking at the reluctant and worried eyes of the two beauties, Ling Yu was full of tenderness, but he was also helpless, things always had to be done by someone, Ling Yu had to swear that he would take good care of himself, not let himself be in danger, and come back well and never let the two daughters down, the beauty is gracious.
After some promises, the two girls were in a better mood, but the dinner table was still a little dull, and Ling Yu was also helpless, he had to say everything he had to say, so he had to find something to talk about awkwardly.
After a dull meal, Ling Yu originally planned to send Zhou Ling home, but he didn't expect Zhou Ling to be reluctant to go back, and wanted to live in Ling's mansion, which Ling Yu didn't expect, she was a royal princess, she didn't have any reputation, and it was easy to be criticized.
"Brother Ling, you have to be careful when you go out this time, you can't be careless in the wind and rain, you will definitely make meritorious contributions when you come back this time, then you will go and propose to your father." In the wing room, Zhou Ling blushed and said, the woman of this era has already mustered great courage to say this.
Ling Yu was very moved in his heart, took Zhou Ling's hand and said softly: "Ling'er, I swear that I will definitely come back completely, and then I will go to your father to propose marriage, marry you home, I will live up to you in this life, I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated." ”
Zhou Ling looked at Ling Yu stupidly, and then embraced Ling Yu with the boldness, hugging him very hard, as if he wanted the whole person to melt into his body.
Ling Yu also hugged Zhou Ling tightly, and said in his heart: "Let me meet you again in this life, I will never let go again, no matter how difficult it is, God blocks and kills God and Buddha and kills Buddha." ”
Both of them felt each other's heartbeats and hugged each other silently, neither of them wanting to spoil the atmosphere at this time.
After a long time, the two separated, Zhou Lingqiao's face was flushed, she didn't expect to be so bold just now, but this is also what she thinks in her heart, and she doesn't regret it, since she has known her, she has felt Ling Yu's meticulous care, and her heart has long been hanging on Ling Yu, and she is afraid that she will not be able to leave in this life.
"Ling'er, rest early, I will do what you think, and what you worry about won't happen, don't worry." Ling Yu said with relief.
"Well, then Brother Ling should also rest early." Zhou Ling said with a red face.
Ling Yu was about to turn around and leave, Zhou Ling rushed over, hugged Ling Yu and kissed him on the face, and then blushed and said, "Good night." ”
Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, smelling the body fragrance of the beauty, feeling the temperature of the beauty, and smiled: "Good night." ”
After speaking, he walked out, closed the door, raised his hand, touched the kiss marks left on the face of the beautiful woman, full of tenderness, and finally completely won Zhou Ling's heart again, and soon there will be a happy home, then he will have to work harder to guard this Great Zhou Empire in order to keep this home, there are no eggs under the nest, not to mention that the royal family is still Zhou Ling's maiden family, Ling Yu once again strengthened his confidence, Zhao family, Qian family, come on, one day let you be wiped out, only the Great Zhou is more stable and strong, and his wife and children can live better.
Ling Yu went to Xinyue's room again, and comforted him, although at present, Ling Yu pities Xinyue more than he feelings, but after all, she is the first woman to follow him, and now it is also his concubine's room, although there is no round room, the name is indeed there, Xinyue's sensible and housekeeper also makes Ling Yu very pleased.
After coming out of Xinyue's place, Ling Yu cultivated and rested as usual.
There was no word for a night, and on the second day, the emperor's decree was issued, and Ling Yu received the honor guard and seal letter documents sent with the holy decree, and after entertaining the eunuchs who announced the decree at home, he began to make various preparations under the guidance of the eunuchs.
On this side, Ling Yu was busy, and on the other side, a black hand slowly stretched out towards Ling Yu, and in an inconspicuous house in Baihufang, several middle-aged men in civilian clothes gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.
If Ling Yu saw them, he would recognize two of them as Zhao Zhengkang, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Qian Xunyan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the others were Jing officials who were attached to the Zhao Qian family, at least from the fourth grade.
Zhao Zhengkang glanced at everyone: "Colleagues, Grandpa Guo has been deployed in Henan before, but today Your Majesty unprecedentedly let that kid surnamed Ling go to Kaifeng Mansion, I'm afraid there will be variables, you all know that kid has made a lot of strange things, and they are all quite useful, we have long known that Your Majesty let that kid train the new army, but we don't know how strong their combat power is, and last time I took such a big risk but got back some useless things, Grandpa Guo is very angry." ”
The grandfather of the country in his mouth is Zhao Ritian, the head of the Zhao family in Beiping Mansion, because his ancestors followed Emperor Taizu to fight the world, and was awarded the title of Duke of Jin because of his merits.
"Hmph, that kid got angry when he said it, my Qian family looked up to him, that was his blessing, he actually pushed back for so long, and he didn't know how to lift." Qian Xunyan said, what he said was that Qian Ruomei wanted to find Ling Yu to act as an agent for the spirit guide before, Ling Yu never let go, this made the Qian family angry, but Ling Yu did not go out of the capital to sell, they were helpless, and they didn't dare to mess around in the capital, the Qian family has always been mixed with the Zhao family, except for being rich, the power of the court or the army is not very large.
"Lord Qian is angry, that kid is really hateful, the yamen who came to the lower official before dispatched people, and the lower official treated him with kind words is indeed very domineering." The one who spoke was Ye Ping, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, he was a member of the Zhao family, and in addition to Shangshu, other servants or officials of other functions in the various ministries of the court, all the forces had people installed in them, and they were complicated.
Of course, this matter was not said to him, Ling Yu asked for a decree to move out of the Academy of Sciences at that time, to build a base in the mountains, of course, he needed to go to the Ministry of Industry to transfer people, but the matter found Ye Ping, Ye Ping is a member of the Zhao family, he must not want to be as Ling Yu wanted, in fact, it was because of this that there was a skirmish, and in the end Ling Yu had to go to Shang Shu Tie Rusong.
Tie Rusong is a member of the Li family, and when Ling Yu went, he happened to meet Li Yun who was there, so Ling Yu directly told Tie Rusong about the matter, the Li family was a neutral force, and he had no ambition to live his own small life with peace of mind, plus Li Yun helped to say that the matter was solved, after all, it was not a big deal, and Ye Ping was not easy to refute Shangguan's face, for which Ling Yu also thanked Li Yun, but Li Yun still looked at him with a lot of resentment, which made him very helpless.
