The cold winter has finally passed, and the spring of recovery has quietly arrived.
In the early morning of this ri, Li Qi rushed to the ordnance superintendent with a full body of confusion, and now the Bureau of Commerce has stabilized, and the ordnance superintendent has begun to get busy again, after all, after receiving so many orders, the workload has increased several times in a row, and things have naturally increased.
"Bu Shuai, isn't that Deputy Supervisor Yu?"
Ma Qiao led Li Qi's horse, suddenly raised his head to the left, and said.
Li Qi turned his head to look, and saw Yu Qi riding this donkey towards this side, now that the ordnance supervisor has made money, the treatment is naturally rising, as a deputy supervisor, it is normal to use a donkey to travel.
"See the supervisor for the next officer."
When Yu Qi saw Li Qi, he hurriedly got off the donkey and saluted.
"Wow! Deputy Supervisor, what did you do last night, how did you get this way? Li Qi looked at Yu Qi's eyes, a pair of panda eyes, stains on his official uniform, and his hair was scattered, not at all like the usual meticulous, clean and tidy Yu Qi.
Yu Qi sighed lightly and said, "The supervisor doesn't know, the Xiaguan's house caught fire last night. ”
"Fire?" Li Qi couldn't help but be shocked and said, "What's the matter?" How is your family? ”
Yu Qi said: "Thank you for your concern, fortunately, the fire is not big, and the family is fine." ”
"It's okay if people are fine, and as for money, if you need it, just come to me." Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "But well, how can it catch fire?" ”
After hearing this, Yu Qi looked angry and said, "This is all provoked by that evil son." ”
"Yunwen?" Li Qi wondered, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Yu Qi sighed: "Last night, on the third watch, Xia Guan had just fallen asleep, and suddenly heard the son of a sitch shouting in the house that it was on fire, and he hurriedly ran out, and saw a stream of smoke coming out of his room, and he could hear the sound of crackling. The fire was quickly extinguished, but the black smoke could not be dispersed for a while, and the inner son was sick, where could he stand the black smoke, and the lower official had to take the inner son to a friend of mine, and after settling the inner son, he turned back and asked about it. ”
Li Qi was also frightened when he heard it, and said, "Yunwen is tinkering with gunpowder in the house? ”
Yu Qi nodded and said: "He used to do it outside the house, but Neizi saw that the weather was cold, and he was afraid that he would freeze, so he asked him to go back to the house, and it turned out to be such a fuss, which really me off, but I have already told the son of a bad man, and he will never be allowed to tinker with gunpowder from now on." ”
Li Qi frowned and said, "Then how can it be done, if so, what should I do with him as an apprentice?" ”
Yu Qi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Qi blankly, as if to say, you are using our family's life to accept apprentices!.
That's right, too! If this continues, if there is a big explosion one day, then my beloved disciple will not fall before he leaves the school. Li Qi felt scared when he thought about it, and suddenly said, "Deputy Supervisor Yu, what are your expectations for Yunwen?" ”
Yu Qi was slightly stunned, and blurted out: "Of course, he is an official in the court." ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "In that case, why not let him embark on this path in advance." ”
Yu Qi was surprised: "What do you mean by what the supervisor said?" ”
Li Qi said: "I want to let Yunwen enter the military weapon prison now." ”
"What? This- how can this work? ”
"Why can't it?"
"Yunwen is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has not yet gained fame."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "I'm not asking him to be the prime minister, why do you want to get fame, it depends on whether you agree or not, if you nod, then it's not a problem." ”
"This-?"
Li Qi looked at him with a look of embarrassment, didn't he understand, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that someone will gossip?" ”
Yu Qi nodded awkwardly.
Li Qi said: "Don't worry, if you agree, I plan to let Yunwen enter the most mysterious department of our ordnance superintendent, so few people will generally know, of course, I will give him a formal establishment." ”
As the deputy superintendent, Yu Qi naturally knew that mysterious department, and also knew that the mysterious department specialized in firearms, and thought to himself, this was indeed a great opportunity for Yunwen. nodded and said: "The supervisor looks up to the child so much, that is the blessing of the child, and I am also happy as a father, and it is all up to the supervisor to decide." ”
A scholar like him will naturally put the country at the forefront.
Li Qi raised his hand and said, "Don't be busy promising me first, you also know the system of the mysterious department, once Yunwen enters, it will be difficult for you to see him, are you willing to do it?" ”
Yu Qi said: "The man is ambitious in all directions, if he has a career and can contribute to the country, it is too late for the officials to be happy, how can he be reluctant." ”
"You don't have to discuss it with your wife and Yunwen."
Yu Qi shook his head and said, "No, the officials can still call the shots in this little matter." ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "No matter what, you should go back and discuss, if you decide, bring Yunwen to me." ”
"Yes." Yu Qi sang and said, "By the way, supervisor, there is news over there, the latest bed crossbow has been studied." ”
Li Qi sighed and smiled: "This is really good news!" Let's go inside. ”
As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly came from behind, shouting: "Bu Shuai, please stay." Then there was the sound of horses' hooves.
Li Qi turned his head to look, and saw a pair of people and horses rushing to the future, the first one was Na He Chong, followed by a carriage, and subconsciously said: "Mu You?" ”
"Huh?"
Yu Qi was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Supervisor, what did you say?" ”
Li Qi was slightly stunned, and said with a straight face: "I didn't say anything." ”
While speaking, He Chong had already come to Li Qi, only to see Liang Shicheng lift the curtain and stretch out the only remaining head.
"See the lieutenant." Yu Qi hurriedly saluted.
Liang Shicheng ignored him, and said directly to Li Qi: "Economic envoy, you come into the palace with me, the emperor has summoned you to the palace for discussion." ”
Li Qi saw Liang Shicheng's anxious face, and hurriedly asked, "Taiwei, what's going on?" ”
"Hurry up, let's talk as we go."
Li Qi knew that something must be wrong, so he answered, and ordered Yu Qi a few more words, and then hurriedly got into the carriage. Before he could sit down, Liang Shicheng told the coachman to set off quickly.
Li Qi was curious: "Captain, what happened?" ”
Liang Shicheng said bluntly: "There is a rebellion near Fengxiang Mansion. ”
Fengxiang Mansion belongs to Qinfeng Road, in the northwest, relatively close to Western Xia.
Li Qi sighed, his expression a little stunned.
Liang Shicheng frowned and said, "What do you mean by this expression?" ”
Li Qi was puzzled: "The northwest is where my Great Song Jingrui is located, except for the war against the Western Xia, the internal has always been very stable, how could there be a sudden rebellion, could it be that the Western Army itself did it?" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sweat coldly, he still had to rely on the Western Army to save his life!
Liang Shicheng waved his hand and said: "You think too much, this matter has nothing to do with the Western Army - no, it still has something to do with it, in fact, to put it mildly, the whole thing is because of the Western Army." ”
Li Qi said blankly: "Tai Wei, you are about to confuse me, what is going on?" ”
Liang Shicheng said: "Here's the thing, about half a month ago, the 20,000 stone military rations transported from Jiangling Mansion to Weizhou were suddenly robbed by someone when they passed through Fengxiang Mansion. ”
"What? Looting military rations? This- how is this possible? Li Qi exclaimed. If you want the territory of the Western Army to rob the Western Army's military rations, it doesn't make sense!
Liang Shicheng said: "Not only that, but none of the 2,000 soldiers who escorted the military rations escaped. ”
Li Qi was shocked and said: "It won't be the annihilation of the whole army, right?" ”
Liang Shicheng said: "At present, it seems that there is only this one possibility. However, a few businessmen happened to be passing by at that time, and they said that they saw a group of villagers with their heads pushing carts of grain and walking quickly, about a few hundred people. ”
Li Qi almost didn't widen his eyes when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Hundreds of villagers robbed the military rations escorted by 2,000 people, wow! Could it be that those people are all martial arts masters? ”
Liang Shicheng shook his head and said: "Our family is not very clear, but those merchants only saw the villagers and military rations, and did not see the soldiers escorting the military rations, so our family guessed that what they saw was only those villagers transporting the looted grain." ”
Reasonable. Li Qi nodded slightly, and said, "Captain, don't you think this thing is very weird?" Even if two or three thousand soldiers face several times as many villagers, even if they can't be defeated, it is impossible to wipe out the whole army! ”
Liang Shicheng said: "And do you know that the Western Army is transporting military rations?" ”
Li Qi shook his head.
"Folded Family."
Li Qi took a sharp breath of cold air, and then asked, "Folding the family army?" Isn't it amazing? ”
Liang Shicheng was surprised: "As the commander of the three yas, you don't even know about the folding army? ”
"Well, I like to use the term Western Army." Li Qi said embarrassedly.
Liang Shicheng was completely speechless to Li Qi, he was too derelict in his duties, but not long after he took office, he didn't say much, and said: "This Zhejia Army is the most sharp unit in the Western Army, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and has made great achievements, and is as famous as the Yang Family Army and the Chongjia Army, and even better. ”
The reason why the Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty is so good is because they have been passed down from generation to generation, and there is no such thing as "the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals".
Li Qi covered his mouth and said in surprise: "So powerful? "I was very depressed in my heart, you know, there is only Yue Jiajun in his heart!
But in this way, the question arises, the most sharp troops in the Great Song Dynasty were wiped out by the villagers, so how many villagers rebelled? Dense beads of sweat oozed from Li Qi's forehead, and he said, "Captain, this-that-isn't the entire Fengxiang Mansion reversed." ”
Liang Shicheng nodded and said: "Originally, the emperor also thought so, but the problem is that the governor of Fengxiang Mansion sent a letter, saying that Fengxiang Mansion was all right, and there was no rebellion." ”
How is this possible? Is it a ghost? Li Qi only felt that his scalp was numb, and said, "Taiwei, do you think it will be the head of Fengxiang Mansion who took the lead in rebellion." ”
Liang Shicheng shook his head and said: "How do we know this, and now we haven't found out yet." ”
Li Qi sighed, suddenly his face tightened, and said: "The emperor summoned me to the palace so urgently, wouldn't he want me to lead the troops to quell the rebellion?" ”
Liang Shicheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The emperor didn't say it, and our family didn't dare to speculate on the holy will." ”
What are you kidding, you dare to change the holy decree, and you don't dare to speculate about the holy will, who will you get? Li Qi secretly despised Liang Shicheng, but this thing was indeed too weird. (To be continued.) )
