Chapter Ninety-Two: Entering the Palace and Resuming Life
The days pass quickly, and now it is the beginning of April, and Zhou Shaobin's promotion of spiritual cultivators near Jingshi is also very smooth, and now farmers can often be seen in the field driving cultivators in the field.
Only Zhou Shaobin himself knows the bitterness in the middle, at the beginning, he went to the states and counties near Jingshi to promote the cultivator, but he suffered a lot of white eyes, but fortunately, in the end, it was Lijia Village, the old farmer in the village where Ling Yu grew up, who had more vision, first tried the cultivator and found it extremely easy to use, which spread around the Jingshi.
Since then, Zhou Shaobin's promotion has become very smooth, until later there are people in the state capital outside the Beijing Division who come to buy, Zhou Shaobin is so happy that he can't find the north, fortunately, there are people from the base workshop to help, otherwise maybe he can mess things up.
Zhou Zhengxiong naturally didn't know the situation, he only looked at the results, and it was a great relief to see that Zhou Shaobin finally had such a look, and summoned Zhou Shaobin and Zhou Ling to play cards a few times.
Things here in the capital are going well, Ling Yu in Shu has basically arranged all kinds of things, and also left a few accompanying craftsmen here to help, mainly responsible for cement production, not that he doesn't want to hand over the production method to Chengdu Mansion, but he is not at ease, if the cement is passed out, especially to the enemy, it will increase the difficulty of him to destroy the enemy at that time, so he has to control it for the time being, wait for the internal peace, and then promote it in Da Zhou is not too late.
Including the various technologies that Ling Yu is holding in his hands now, they are all because of internal insecurity and cannot be promoted in the territory of the Great Zhou, because they are afraid that they will be transmitted to the Zhao family and the Qian family to enhance their combat effectiveness.
On April 15, the sixteenth year of Chongwen, Ling Yu finally decided to return to the dynasty today, Helian Bing led the officials of Chengdu Mansion to the dock to see Ling Yu off, Li Hao also specially attended, for this son-in-law, Li Hao was very satisfied, looking at what he did in Shu during this time, Li Hao was also very pleased, having such a son-in-law finally did not insult the prestige of his Chengguo Mansion.
After saying goodbye, Ling Yu led the soldiers of the 1st Guards Division, who were already ready to go, on the way home.
Standing on the bow of the boat, Ling Yu looked at the sail shadows covering the river, he had been away from home for more than two months, and he also missed his wife and concubine very much, but it was a pity that the current traffic situation, when he returned to the capital, I am afraid that it would be more than five months, but it would not be possible to improve the traffic for a while.
Now he also looks at the situation after the road construction in Sichuan Province, if it is good, it can be regarded as a successful experience, the opportunity is suitable in the future, it will be promoted in the territory of the Great Zhou, in the previous life he knew a sentence "want to get rich first build the road", he deeply believes that although the business of the Great Zhou is still developed, but it is also limited to the areas along the river and the coastal areas, that is to occupy the advantage of the waterway.
The territory of the Great Zhou is very vast, so naturally you can't just take care of the places where there are waterways, so building roads is one thing, and on the other hand, it is in the air, with spiritual energy, of course Ling Yu doesn't have to follow various physical principles like another world, and gradually climb the industry, although the airship has not yet been designed, but it has provided convenience to a certain extent, Ling Yu feels that the airship will not be too far.
Now Ling Yu wants to get the hot air balloon out first, although it is not so easy to control, but with the help of spiritual energy and runes, it is also much better than the hot air balloon in another world, slow down, slow down, at least can control, can fly, this is already a great progress.
There was nothing to do all the way, Ling Yu quickly walked to Anqing Mansion, which was already very close to Jinling and stopped to rest twice on the way, but this time he did not stop at Kuizhou Mansion, although he knew that Huang Junda, the prefect of Kuizhou, had a problem, but he had no evidence, so he was too lazy to find it uncomfortable.
When I arrived at Anqing Mansion, it was already more than May, and the weather had become a lot hotter, but the river breeze was gentle, which made Ling Yu feel very comfortable, and he didn't even turn on the spiritual energy air conditioner, so he walked all the way.
After landing at Anqing Mansion and doing simple repairs, he set off again, perhaps because of his cowardice, Ling Yu was also a little emotional in his heart.
On May 16, after returning from Chengdu Mansion, Ling Yu took the fleet to float on the waterway for a whole month, and finally arrived at the dock of Jinling City, Zhou Shaobin was ordered to welcome Ling Yu who returned victoriously, of course, not only him, but also Song Qian, the first assistant, Zhai Qiande, the secretary of the military department, and others.
Ling Yu got off the boat, naturally it was another salute, he hadn't seen him for a few months, Zhou Shaobin also seemed a lot more capable, although Ling Yu didn't know what Zhou Shaobin did during this time, but he could still see that he had grown a lot.
"Master Hou, the old man congratulates you on your triumphant return to Beijing, this battle is beautiful, of course, your measures in Sichuan Province, the old man also agrees very much, I said that Hou Ye is talented, and now it is true." Song Qian smiled.
"Master Ling, the old man used to think that you were able to govern the army, and today the old man wants to apologize to you, it was the old man who was short-sighted before." Zhai Qiande also stepped forward and said, he was very single, but he also seemed to be frank with this old man.
"Two adults, don't praise the juniors anymore, the juniors will be embarrassed." Ling Yu smiled a little shyly, since he came out, he has been constantly praised by all kinds of praises, and he thought he was used to it, but every time he was praised by others, he was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, don't say it here, my father is still waiting for you to return to the palace." Seeing this, Zhou Shaobin hurriedly played a round game, he and Ling Yu were already very familiar, and knew that Ling Yu would always be a little embarrassed when dealing with this kind of scene.
"Oh, yes, this is the old man's, Your Majesty is still waiting for the Hou Ye, let's go quickly." Song Qian said with a smile.
Ling Yu nodded, turned his head and called Lin Qing, and asked him to lead the soldiers of the first division back to the base to rest, and then followed Zhou Shaobin, Song Qian and others to the palace.
"Wechen see Your Majesty, the war in Shu is over, and Wechen will return to Beijing to resume his life." In the imperial study, Ling Yu respectfully saluted Zhou Zhengxiong, and returned the talisman given when he set out for the expedition, as well as the guard of honor and other things.
"Well, Ling Aiqing, you did a very beautiful job this time, I am very relieved, have all the things in Shu been arranged?" Zhou Zhengxiong asked with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty, everything has been arranged, just wait to see how far Governor He will finally go, but this matter is a long-term project, I'm afraid it won't end so soon." Ling Yu said.
"I understand this matter, since you can arrange it, I am still very relieved that you can do things." Zhou Zhengxiong said to Yan Yuese, Ling Yu is back, and he is also very happy.
"Well, since you have returned to your life, I will allow you to go home and settle down first, and then enter the palace later, I still have something to ask you." After a pause, Zhou Zhengxiong said, there are more people present now, Zhou Zhengxiong did not ask about the airship, Zhou Shaobin was also relieved on the side, and finally had the opportunity to ask Ling Yu if he had any preparations.
Ling Yu heard Zhou Zhengxiong say this, he himself had long wanted to go home to meet his wife first, and hurriedly thanked him and retreated, while Zhou Zhengxiong smiled and watched Ling Yu leave, and then continued to discuss other things with Song Qian and others.
Zhou Shaobin saw Ling Yu leaving, so he also found an excuse and ran out to catch up with Ling Yu.
"Hey, Brother Ling, wait for me." Zhou Shaobin caught up after Ling Yu and said.
"Baked cakes, I said what are you good at, why do you have such a mouth, I don't know how many brain cells will die for your words." Ling Yu looked at Zhou Shaobin and scolded with a smile.
"What? What are brain cells? Alas, don't talk about this, Brother Ling, I was sorry for you last time, but I also wrote to you to prepare in advance, I don't know if you designed the airship? Zhou Shaobin wanted to ask what brain cells were, but immediately thought that this was not the point, so he changed his mind and asked. Beanie boxes
Seeing that Zhou Shaobin did not pursue the problem of "brain cells", Ling Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Shaobin's desire for knowledge sometimes really made Ling Yu very desperate, there are some things Ling Yu himself is not very clear, he knows a noun, let him explain it.
"No, you think the airship is a cabbage, and you say that there is one?" Ling Yu didn't have a good airway.
"Huh? No, what should I do, just now my father asked you to enter the palace later to talk about this, you don't have any preparation for how to deal with it then. Zhou Shaobin said anxiously.
"What are you afraid of, Your Majesty is not unreasonable, how can an airship be built so easily, I think I explain that Your Majesty can understand." Ling Yu didn't seem to care.
"Alas, my father is right, but ...... Alas, it's all my fault, if it weren't for my mouth, I wouldn't have so much trouble, what can I do, finally after these days of hard work, my father's impression of me has changed a little, and this is another incident, and I don't know what my father will think of me when the time comes. Zhou Shaobin said with a sad face.
"Okay, don't talk about these things yet, I'm still in a hurry to go home, do you want to go to my house or go back by yourself?" Ling Yu asked.
"Alas, I don't have anything to do, just go to your house, I haven't been to your house for a long time, and I miss your cook very much." Zhou Shaobin said with his lips.
"Oh? Won't my house let you in? Ling Yu asked puzzled, he said at the time, let Zhou Shaobin go over to see Zhou Ling if he is fine, after all, he is not at home, Zhou Ling can be better with his own brother by his side.
"Uh, I said Brother Ling, it's inconvenient for me to go when you're not at home, don't you know?" Zhou Shaobin was also very puzzled, Ling Yu was not at home, Zhou Shaobin was naturally not good and always ran to his house.
"Huh? What does it have to do with my absence? ”
"How can I go if you're not there, and the reputation of your wife and concubine is gone."
"Is there anything else you say?" Only then did Ling Yu realize that this was probably the kind of ancient ritual bondage again.
"Okay, let's go now, I was negligent." Ling Yu smiled apologetically.
"Alas, I really don't know what to say about you, sometimes you are very shrewd, and sometimes you seem to know nothing." Zhou Shaobin muttered a sentence and got into the carriage with Ling Yu.
Soon arrived home, Zhou Ling and Xinyue, who received the news, were already waiting for Ling Yu at the door, and when they saw him come back, they were all excited and burst into tears, Ling Yu gently hugged the second daughter, and comforted him with kind words, and now at the gate, there were guests, Ling Yu naturally couldn't say anything, so he entered the house surrounded by the second daughter.
Sitting down in the living room, Xinyue hid in the backyard as before, while Zhou Ling was on the side, after all, it was her own brother, and she was supposed to accompany her.
The servant served fragrant tea, Zhou Shaobin took a sip of tea casually, and asked, "Brother Ling, you tell me the truth, what are you going to do when your father summons you?" ”
Ling Yu smiled mysteriously, didn't speak, picked up the tea bowl and took a slow sip.
As soon as Zhou Shaobin saw Ling Yu's expression, he knew that Ling Yu probably had a belly case, and he became even more curious.
"Brother Ling, don't sell it, let's talk about it." Zhou Shaobin said hurriedly.
Zhou Ling looked at the two curiously on the side, I don't know why Zhou Shaobin is in such a hurry, since Ling Yu and Zhou Shaobin talked about things before, Ling Yu asked Zhou Ling not to avoid suspicion, after that, every time Zhou Ling was present, Ling Yu and Zhou Shaobin also talked about things as usual, and never mentioned avoiding suspicion again.
"Baked cakes, don't worry, I do have such an idea, it's simpler than an airship, but the performance is naturally inferior to an airship." Ling Yu said with a smile.
"Why not an airship? So you mean it's also a kind of flying machine, right? Zhou Shaobin quickly thought of it.
"Well, it's a kind of flying machine, but it's also the most primitive flying machine, its performance is not as good as that of an airship, and its natural use is not as good as an airship, so it can only be used to observe the enemy situation and command artillery strikes." Ling Yu told his estimate of the hot air balloon.
"Is that the ability to fly? Then there is no problem, my father must also understand that the airship is not that easy, now there are those who can fly, and they can also observe the enemy situation and command the artillery bombardment, which will also be of great benefit to the battlefield. Zhou Shaobin said excitedly, in fact, what he cares about most is that he will be able to fly soon.
"Husband, are you saying that people can fly to the sky?" Zhou Ling was very surprised when she heard the conversation between the two, can people fly to the sky? This is something that even a ninth-level spirit master can't do.
"Yes, Ling'er, when the time comes, it's no problem to test, I'll take you to the sky and see this Jinling City." Ling Yu said with a smile.
"Really? Husband, you're so nice. Zhou Ling's beautiful eyes narrowed into a line and said sweetly.
"Ouch, can you please be careful, don't have anything to do in front of me...... Well, the one Brother Ling said...... Show affection. Zhou Shaobin said dissatisfied.
"Okay, baked cakes, this thing is called a hot air balloon, which means that it flies through hot air, but it can be relatively difficult to control, and there is a certain danger, and it flies very slowly, wait for me to try to make it, the design drawings have been done, and I will go to the workshop to try it out after I rest for two days." Ling Yu said with a smile.
"Brother Ling, hehe...... Look at me...... Can you ......" Zhou Shaobin rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
"No, I'll wait until I'm okay with the test." Ling Yu decisively refused, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Zhou Shaobin wanted to be the first to fly, so he naturally disagreed, Zhou Shaobin's importance was self-evident, how could he let him risk his life.
Zhou Shaobin's face collapsed when he heard this, he knew that Ling Yu would not agree, every time, but he also knew why, but he would not complain about Ling Yu anything, but disappointment was inevitable.
