Chapter 321: Planning for the Future
Except for Pei Ju's post, which was sent by Xue Lang himself, the rest of the people's posts, Xue Lang was sent by Changjian, including the Wang Shilang. As for whether to come or not, that's someone else's problem, not his. Well, people with low emotional intelligence generally think so.
After reading the information in the classic room, Xue Lang also had a general impression of the overall work, although it was not easy to do, but it was not in a hurry.
The entire Ministry of Finance is like the cashier of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, managing all the money and grain exchanges. Looking at the mobilization of money and food in the past few days, the imperial court is indeed preparing for war. Thinking about it, Princess Pingyang should want Jiang Lin to go to the battlefield to make contributions.
The idea is not difficult to understand. The Tang Dynasty was still martial, Jiang Lin was a good martial artist, if he only stumbled in Beijing, he would not have any success in this life, if a person like him really valued him, he still had to send him to the battlefield, this is the treatment of reuse.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Xue Lang was not in a hurry to go home, but asked Wanfu to drive the carriage directly to send him to the camp of Youxiaowei, and when he arrived at the gate of the camp, he asked Wanfu to go up and talk to the soldiers who received the camp, and asked Jiang Lin to come out.
Probably Wanfu went up and reported to the house first, but the other party did not embarrass him, only asked him to wait at the gate of the camp, and turned around to find someone in the camp.
After a while, Jiang Lin hurriedly came out of it, saw the carriage parked at the gate of the camp, and strode over: "Big brother! But what's going on at home? ”
Xue Lang beckoned him to get into the carriage, poured him a cup of hot water, and said, "It's okay at home, don't worry." I asked you to come out because I wanted to ask you what you meant, you and my brother, so I'll just tell you. Yesterday, the princess told me that the imperial court wants to use troops against Tuyuhun, and if you want to go, you can join, if you don't want to go, you can continue to stay in the right guard. ”
After a pause, Xue Lang said again: "I have seen in the Ministry of Civil Affairs in recent days, the imperial court has been mobilizing grain and grass, and when the grain and grass are almost raised, it should be decided to lead the generals, listen to the princess's meaning, this time, Ye Qing and Ma Sanbao will also go." ”
Jiang Lin sat in the carriage with a contemplative look in his eyes. Xue Lang didn't rush him, just drank water quietly. Just like he said to Princess Pingyang before, on the battlefield, the sword soldiers have no eyes, and many heroes have been born there, but more people have died.
What kind of life Jiang Lin wants needs him to choose. When he goes to the battlefield to fight for his life and make achievements, he can only rely on himself; If he stays in Chang'an, Xue Lang will protect him and let him live comfortably.
After a while, Jiang Lin said in a deep voice: "Big brother, in the barracks these days, the younger brother often thinks about what would I have done if I hadn't met the eldest brother by chance!" Maybe he doesn't know where he died for a long time, not to mention that he is now connected with dyeing and dyeing and is in a military position. ”
Xue Lang said: "Everything you have now is obtained by your own ability, I at most provided you with a platform to show your talents, and I didn't do anything, two brothers in one world, why are you talking about this?" Get down to business! ”
Jiang Lin smiled honestly and said, "Little brother has decided to go!" ”
"Really? Doesn't change? ”
"No change!"
"Well, brother and sister, you go and tell me too, and I will have someone inform the princess of your decision, and ask her to help you move." The latest and fastest update Ah Lin, I have pressed you for a whole year, and now you are also the one who wants to lead the troops to fight, I only have one word, always be in awe, and act cautiously! Behind one of your orders is the lives of all the soldiers under your command, although there are no immortals in battle, but I hope their sacrifices will be meaningful. Do you understand? ”
Jiang Lin said seriously: "Little brother remember the teachings of the eldest brother!" ”
Xue Lang patted him on the shoulder: "Go back, in the barracks, the rules are strict, it's not good to come out for too long." ”
"Oh, big brother, take care."
"So are you."
After a short discussion, the two brothers separated, Jiang Lin returned to the barracks, and Xue Lang returned to the county mansion.
Jiang Lin's decision did not surprise him, but how could a man who had a little ambition in his heart not want to make a contribution? If he wants to go, he can go, as a brother, he doesn't need to say much, just give support.
Back in the house, Xue Lang was not busy eating, but called Hexiang: "Ask Ah Chen to buy some raw silk and come back, let the winter solstice use these raw silk, fine and dense weaving clothes, I will draw the style later, go buy raw silk first." ”
"Whoa."
Hexiang hurried away. This girl is getting older, but her temperament is becoming more and more calm, especially in the months that Xue Lang has been staying in the capital, she has grown more rapidly, and she has lived up to Xue Lang's expectations.
Xue Lang sent Changjian to the princess's mansion again, told Her Royal Highness the princess of Jiang Lin's decision, and then prepared for Jiang Lin's expedition in the mansion. Su Han saw that Xue Lang was busy, and asked the reason in passing, knowing that it was to prepare for Jiang Lin's expedition, and also joined in-
Give Jiang Lin an ointment to prevent frostbite.
The house was busy, and when I came back from work in the yamen the next day, I entered the inner courtyard to change my clothes, and as soon as I entered the door, I was startled by a person who suddenly appeared-
"Lady Ako? You're a cat, so quiet? ”
He patted his chest as he spoke. Ako looked at him expressionlessly, and if she screened it carefully, she could still discern a smile in her eyes...... Damn, she must have done it on purpose!
Xue Lang thought so in his heart.
Ako said indifferently: "The master is waiting for you in the study." ”
"What?"
Xue Lang didn't have time to change his clothes, so he hurriedly ran to the study-
In the study, there is a notebook that he has written silently in his spare time in the past two days, spread out on the desk, and has not yet been cleaned up. When I went in, I saw that Her Royal Highness the princess was dressed in men's clothes, sitting on his chair, holding the manuscript paper and reading.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up at him and smiled: "Back?" ”
Xue Lang's heart warmed and nodded: "Hey, I'm back." How did you get over today? That script...... I haven't finished writing yet, but I want to send it to you when I'm done, so I can pass the time. ”
Princess Pingyang's eyes welled up with warmth, and she didn't look at the manuscript paper in her hand, put it back on the table, got up and walked over to Xue Lang, stood opposite him, raised her hand and touched his eyebrows: "You are so ...... How is it good to call me? ”
Xue Lang was unclear and looked at her with questioning eyes. Princess Pingyang just smiled and shook her head, took his hand and sat down face-to-face on the chair, and said, "Tuyuhun has been moving frequently recently, and there seems to be an abnormal movement. Inevitably, Fu Yun was caught off guard when he moved, and preparations should have begun. ”
Xue Lang nodded, he was in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the imperial court wanted to prepare for war, so naturally he couldn't hide it. There is a saying that war is about logistics. Not to mention modern times, even ancient times.
When the army went out to fight, the grain, grass, soldiers, horses, and weapons had to be prepared, and these happened to be the heads of the six departments, so naturally the officials of the six departments were busy. In recent days, the money and food that has gone out of Xue Lang's men has been quite a huge data.
"You call Ah Lin, and I'll explain a few words to him."
"Okay."
Xue Lang went out and ordered someone to call Jiang Lin.
