The two court presidents, Shi Xianyang and Fan Qiuming, collectively approached Wang Jian and Wei Yang, and Fan Qiuming wanted to send Lin Yingrui to the Constitutional Court as a judge.

Lin Yingrui has followed Lin Zhaolong to Yulin Bay since the fall of Yanchang County, and has been staying in Yulin Bay for several years. The imperial court did not investigate it carefully, but ordered Lin Yingrui to be commended.

In the past few years in Yulin Bay, Lin Yingrui has always been very interested in the Crossing Court and the Yulin Bay Court, except for sometimes going to the Yulin Bay Academy and Wanzhou Academy to give lectures, most of the time he soaked in several courts.

Shi Xianyang found that Lin Yingrui seemed to have a natural advantage in the judiciary, and many legal provisions and legal principles were not understood by others, but he only needed to explain to Lin Yingrui once or twice to get the essence.

Pham Thu Minh is now the chief justice of the Constitutional Court, but Pham Thu Minh is a physics student and does not know much about the law, so he does a lot of work in a less detailed manner. So Shi Xianyang hopes to let Lin Yingrui help Fan Qiuming.

Wang Jian was quite hesitant about Shi Xianyang's suggestion: "Justice Shi, according to our system, the Constitutional Court can only have seven justices, and it is full now. If you get Lin Yingrui to the Constitutional Court, first, there will be no vacancy, and second, he will be a Ming Dynasty after all. ”

"One more point." Wei Yang continued, "I heard Lin Zhaolong and Gu Yunkun both say that this Lin Yingrui is greedy enough, can he be a justice?" ”

"Don't get me wrong." Shi Xianyang explained, "What I mean is that Lin Yingrui first went to serve as an ordinary judge, in fact, he was an assistant to Lao Fan. Now we are only the director of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Chao, and we also stipulated that there was a one-year probation period. If there is a change in the provisions of the General Assembly in this regard next year, the issue of Lin Yingrui being the chief justice will be considered. As for whether he is greedy or not, I think there should be no problem if you pay more attention. Two, talents are rare, and people like him in the Ming Dynasty are really not easy to find. ”

Several people discussed it again, and decided that Fan Qiuming would submit this bill to the crossing conference, and it would be decided by the crossing conference after the year. Speaking of Lin Yingrui, Wei Yang thought of the other two people, Lu Mian, the garrison of Kuandian Fort, who was brought back from the two surprise attacks on Shengjing, and Tuktan, the prisoner of war of the Eight Banners. These two men have been held in the Tiandu Mine, and they were not included in the last amnesty for prisoners of war.

At present, Tian Dukuang has accepted another batch of rogue prisoners of war, so Wei Yang wants to give a one-time amnesty to all the remaining prisoners of war, but how to deal with these two people, Wei Yang didn't come up with any good ideas, because the identities of these two people are somewhat special.

The result of the discussion was the same as that of Lin Yingrui, Wei Yang first went to consult the opinions of the Military Commission, and then the two committees came up with a final method for the placement of prisoners of war and reported it to the conference.

The General Staff of Xu Lang began to work again, and the Military Commission gave an order to the General Staff to come up with a plan for the spring offensive of Annam before the Spring Festival, make all preparations, and take Vietnam in one go next spring.

Gao Chen finally returned to the General Staff. News came back from Yazhou, and the woman's family proposed to withdraw from the marriage, on the grounds that Gao Chen had dragged on for too long, and the woman's family was unwilling to wait any longer. After getting this news, Xu Lang did not have any delay, and the General Staff immediately issued an order, the previous treatment of Gao Chen was wrong, the previous order was revoked, the officer was reinstated, and he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Xu Lang set up a family banquet at home to invite the three brothers of the Ye family, Gao Chen and Ye Jie. Xu Lang looked at Ye Jie, who was snuggled up by Gao Chen's side, and the corners of his mouth went up: "You two are also a good thing, it's not easy." ”

"Thanks to the good idea, sir." Gao Chen hurriedly thanked.

"What a good idea, I think it's a bad idea." Cheng Yiyi sneered, "It's just the two of you who can come up with such a solution." ”

"It's really nothing to do with Gao Chen." Xu Lang pointed to Qingwen on the other table and smiled, "This is all Qingwen originally came up with." ”

Qingwen heard Xu Lang mention her name, and hurriedly turned around and responded, "Mr. Xu, what is the matter with calling me?" ”

"It's fine." Xu Lang shouted, "Sister Yiyi praised you for your good idea." ”

Cheng Yiyi glanced at Xu Lang and asked Gao Chen, "Gao Chen, have you proposed marriage to the Ye family?" ”

Gao Chen replied a little embarrassed: "Sister Yiyi, I haven't gone home yet." The General Staff is very busy these days, and I want to go home during the Spring Festival to discuss with my parents and come to propose marriage after the Spring Festival. ”

Xu Lang shouted: "What kind of relatives do you mention, just do a happy event directly after the Spring Festival." ”

Zhao Zhiruo pulled Xu Lang: "There must be something that should be there, Miss Ye Jie is also a beautiful girl, so she can be so sloppy." Gao Chen, don't listen to Xu Lang about this. ”

Gao Chen smiled: "Sister Zhiruo, I know. I will definitely marry Miss Ye Jie home beautifully. ”

Ye Yan suddenly felt a little reluctant in his heart, and said to Gao Chen with a cup: "Gao Chen, I won't say anything else." Our Ye family is such a sister, you have to treat her well in the future, and you can't be wronged at all. ”

"Big brother, I understand, don't worry, big brother, I will be good to Miss Ye Jie."

Bihe also shouted: "Gao Chen, although you have been promoted to lieutenant colonel, Ye Zhan is a colonel, and you are one level behind him." If you dare to do anything bad to our sister, I will let Ye Zhan rectify you. ”

Xu Lang picked up the wine glass with a smile: "Bihe, Ye Zhan will not be a colonel soon, and he will be a brigadier general after the New Year." The Military Council has already approved it, just waiting for the crossing congress to pass it. ”

"The second brother is going to be a brigadier general, and our Ye family also has a general."

"Second brother, let me congratulate you first, our father will definitely be happy."

There was a lot of chatter in the room, and Lu Tianxiang clapped his hands: "Children, don't quarrel first, there are so many happy events today, everyone has a good drink." ”

The next day, everyone went back to work and continued to work. Not long after Xu Lang arrived at the General Staff, Leng Tianbing knocked on the door and came in.

"Xu Lang, I have something to tell you, I'm afraid we have to prepare in advance."

"What's the matter?" Xu Lang asked, "Is it about the Spring Offensive?" ”

"Almost." Leng Tianbing rummaged through the folder he was carrying and found a document, "It's about food." ”

Although Yulin Bay has been working hard to develop agriculture in recent years, it has not been able to achieve self-sufficiency in food due to rapid population growth. Up to now, half of the annual food consumption still needs to be imported. Leng Tianbing roughly calculated, according to the current population of 250,000 in Yulin Bay, more than 30,000 tons of rice need to be imported a year. Yulin Bay has always imported rice from Vietnam through Mu Suide, but Leng Tianbing is worried that grain imports will be interrupted when the war breaks out next year, so he has to rush back this batch of grain before the war breaks out.

But the problem is that it is now the end of the year, not to mention the problem of transportation capacity, in Vietnam to purchase more than 30,000 tons of grain at once, I am afraid that Vietnam will not have so much.

Xu Lang was also a little confused after hearing this, the food problem is a big deal, and if there is a food shortage in Yulin Bay, it will immediately be chaotic.

"Don't we have strategic grain reserves, can we use them?"

"Our strategic reserves are only so small, and they are not enough for the army to consume." Leng Tianbing said, "We have not established a complete strategic storage system, whether it is food, cotton cloth, materials, including guns, we all use what we buy and make what we make." Don't play this score, it won't solve the problem. ”

"TechnoAlpin, do you have any good ideas?" Xu Lang couldn't think of any ideas for dealing with it for a while.

Leng Tianbing looked at Xu Lang and laughed.

"What are you laughing at, is there a way to do it. You kid is holding back something bad? ”

"It's not like I'm holding back any bad stuff, but I'd like to get you another errand." Leng Tianbing said with a smile, "I think it's best for you to go to Shenglong Mansion a year ago, and then look for Mu Suide." On the one hand, it is a matter of buying food, and on the other hand, Mu Suide is prepared, and it is best to evacuate Thang Long Mansion in advance. ”

Xu Lang snapped his fingers and calculated: "There is less than half a month before the New Year, you want me to celebrate the New Year in Vietnam, right, can I rush back, can't I let He Chaoyong go, isn't he in Jinpu." ”

"They can't say clearly, and besides, they have a lot of things to do now, so it's better for you to go in person." Leng Tianbing said, "Isn't it just a New Year, why can't you celebrate the New Year, you can also experience how the Spring Festival in Vietnam is celebrated." Don't worry, just come back before the meeting on the eighth day of the first lunar month. ”

"I said TechnoAlpin, why do you always arrange for me to go out, can't you go there yourself?" Xu Lang really didn't want to go, "You haven't been to Vietnam either, so you just took this opportunity to go around Vietnam, and it should be a Spring Festival tour." ”

"I really can't go." Leng Tianbing seemed to have something unspeakable, "I won't hide it from you, there is an accident at home, and I can't leave during this time." ”

"What's going on in your family again, does Li Lin want to divorce you again? Or do you kid want to take a concubine again? ”

"If only that were the case." Leng Tianbing smiled bitterly, "Xiaojun and Autumn Leaves have an accident. ”

"Damn, something really happened." Xu Lang shouted, "Xiaojun is only 15 after the New Year, and now he is going to be a father?" But you don't need to be in a hurry, it's not too early to be a father at the age of 15 in the Ming Dynasty, the key is what does Li Lin mean? ”

"It's a lot more complicated than you think." Leng Tianbing really didn't know how to say to Xu Lang, "Those two little rabbit cubs don't understand anything, Autumn Ye is almost 2 months pregnant, and she doesn't know at all." Li Lin didn't pay attention either, but a few days ago she fell while fetching water in the yard, and the child was gone. That's what we know. Now Akiba's mother's family is not finished, so I have to ask for an explanation. ”

"What else can be said about that?" Xu Lang said puzzledly, "Wouldn't it be okay for Xiaojun to marry Autumn Leaves?" ”

"The problem is that Li Lin doesn't want Qiu Ye to be his wife, so she can only be a concubine. They don't seem to agree very much, their conditions are either to marry the media, or they can be concubines, but they have to pay silver. Anyway, I'm really annoyed right now, I really can't go to Vietnam. ”

Xu Lang pointed at Leng Tianbing and smiled: "Okay, I'll go as long as I go, you still have to deal with your housework." But don't arrange Gao Chen, he has to go to the Ye family to propose marriage during the Spring Festival, let Li Wenqing come with me, and just go back to his hometown to have a look. ”

"No problem, you can take whoever you want." Leng Tianbing pushed the document in front of Xu Lang, "The detailed plan is all in it, you sign it after reading it, and I'll report it to the Military Commission." Try to leave early, not late. ”

Xu Lang thought about how to tell Cheng Yiyi about going to Vietnam on the way home from work, although Cheng Yiyi would definitely not stop anything, but it was inevitable to lose his temper.

In the barracks of the North Korean New Army in Busan, Tao Min had a huge map in front of him, and the map was full of colorful flags. Tao Min was holding a box of cigarettes produced in Yulin Bay, staring at the map silently.

Tao Gong pushed the door and walked in: "Brother, what are you thinking, why are you in a daze again." ”

Tao Min looked up and saw that it was his younger brother who came in, and put down the cigarette in his hand: "I didn't think about anything, it's about the New Year, I'm thinking about next year." ”

Tao Gong walked over and stared at the map for a while: "Brother, do you have any plans for next year?" ”

Tao Min smiled and asked rhetorically, "What do you think Yulin Bay will do next year?" ”

"Them?" "According to the intelligence analysis we have now, they are likely to attack North Vietnam next year and unify the whole of Vietnam." ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too." Tao Min said silently, "Yulin Bay now controls the entire Hainan Island, and if Vietnam is reunified, the two sides together will have a population base of more than 2 million, and they will stand on their own." ”

"Brother, do you think Yulin Bay will stand on its own?" Tao Gong shook his head, "I don't think it's possible, they won't have this plan until they destroy us and Huang Taiji." ”

"I know they won't have it, but can we find a way to make Chongzhen think they do." Tao Min said with a smile, "Yulin Bay is getting bigger and bigger now, and if they unify Vietnam, their army is likely to quickly expand to the size of 100,000 people, and their rifled guns are much better than ours." If that's the case, our new Korean army and Huang Taiji's Eight Banners together may not be able to defeat them. ”

"Brother, do you mean that we have to find a way to make Yulin Bay unable to unify Vietnam?"

"No, I mean exactly the opposite, let them unify Vietnam." Tao Min took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, "Brother, listen to me tell you slowly." Huang Taiji has wanted to carry out land reform in the Northeast for a long time, but because of the opposition of those Eight Banner Owners, it has not started until now. I want to go back to Shengjing after the Spring Festival to assist Huang Taiji in carrying out land reform. This has two advantages: first, land reform is indeed beneficial to the development of the economy of Northeast China; Second, we can use the land reform and Huang Taiji's hand to suppress those Eight Banner Banners, which is also beneficial for us to replace Huang Taiji in the future. ”

Tao Gong felt that his brother's words were not finished, and asked again: "Even if the land reform is carried out, what are you going to do next, our main enemy is still Yulin Bay." ”
