Chapter 82: The Return of the Treasure Hunt
[Thank you for the "Ten Less" tip!] Continue to ask for tickets \(^o^)/~]
"Your Majesty...... Emperor...... Something big is wrong! The Emperor ......"
A cargo ran on the road to the Vertical Arch Temple, sweating profusely while pulling the hem of his clothes, and shouting loudly at the same time, causing the surrounding guards to compete for attention.
Zhao Zhen: "Xiao Shunzi, go and see, who is making noise outside!" ”
Xiao Shunzi responded and ran to the door to look around, and then ran back to Zhao Zhen and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the master of the water division is the master of the Shiheng species, and he seems to be in a hurry, and he is running here!" ”
What's the matter with him? Could it be that something went wrong with his money? That's amazing!
Zhao Zhen thought of this, and hurriedly said: "Go and call the seed master!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Bang! There was a muffled sound, and Xiao Shunzi, who was running outside, played with Shiheng who came in a hurry at the door and collided with human flesh.
"Ouch! Forehead dripping waist! Ahh Junko lay on the ground, stroking his injured waist, and it was clear that he didn't get a good deal in this collision.
Chong Shiheng was fine, and hurriedly went up to pull him: "Oops! I'm so embarrassed! Father-in-law Xiaoshun, I didn't break you! Come, come, let me help you up! ”
Xiao Shunzi: "Ahh Adult, your body is really strong! ”
Chong Shiheng: "Where, where! ”
Zhao Zhen looked at the two of them and smiled, and walked over from the desk: "Chong Aiqing, you came in such a hurry, isn't there a problem with the money?" ”
"Nope! No! Chong Shiheng hurriedly denied it: "The money was transported smoothly, and the minister separated the Yangtze River River Defense Fleet and the Yellow River River Defense Fleet, and transported copper coins and paper money to the north and south respectively. So far, according to the queen's plan, a large amount of money has been escorted to the state capital along the two rivers. The next step was to transfer between state capitals, a task that was carried out by the Marine Corps and the local garrisons. Don't worry, we have suppressed bandits very hard before, there is no threat anymore, there will be no problem! ”
"That's good!" Zhao Zhen nodded: "Speaking of this question, I suddenly remembered something. You see, now Da Song Qianzhuang has set up offices in each state capital. In order to facilitate the people to withdraw money and save money, the next step will be to rely on various state capitals and then open money branches in the counties and towns within their jurisdictions. Therefore, in the future, the coin transportation business between the various money banks was ordinary, and it was impossible to rely on the army to escort them. Therefore, I have an idea, which is to reorganize the current army, those eliminated sergeants, plus the part of the garrison army that has been dismantled, and gather them for a little training, and become full-time money carriers. Anyway, your navy is basically on the right track, and there is nothing to do for the time being, so I will leave this matter to you. After training, these people are not attached to the military department, but as employees under the 'Golden Shield Security Company'. By the way, this 'Golden Shield Security Company' is also the queen's property, but it is hanging on her sister Zhang Qian's head, you can't be careless! ”
"Rest assured! The minister knows how to get up! Chong Shiheng nodded and replied: "Your Majesty, I don't know how many people you plan to train, and what standard will you train according to?" ”
Zhao Zhen put aside the map and took a look: "I see that first, let's configure it according to the appearance of 20 people in a state!" Anyway, the number of money banks is not very large now, and you will need to train later. As for the content of the training, it should be trained according to that of ordinary soldiers, and they should also be taught professional ethics in the future, and they must not be guarded and stolen by themselves. When selecting soldiers, try to choose those who have families and jobs, and it would be great if every state capital had soldiers. To be on the safe side, I will equip them with the same old crossbows and crossbows, and design a fully enclosed carriage for transporting money. Therefore, horseback riding is also a skill that must be mastered. If there is nothing else, you can go and meet the queen, she still has something to say! ”
Chong Shiheng put away the small notebook: "Your Majesty, your requirements are all written down, and you can do it when you go back!" The minister will go to see the queen, and the minister will retire! ”
"Wait!" Zhao Zhen shouted: "Have we forgotten something?" ”
"Yikes!" After Chong Shiheng exclaimed, he said with great interest: "The minister forgot to report a major event to you!" Your crooked building is getting bigger and bigger, and before the minister can say it, you are crooked 108,000 miles away. Your Majesty, I want to tell you good news! Our treasure troop team is back! ”
"Really?"
After waiting for more than a year, there has been no news, and now that there is suddenly news from them, Zhao Zhen is also very excited to hear the news.
Chong Shiheng: "Really! ”
Zhao Zhen: "Where are they?" Bring them to me...... No, I'm going to see them! Let's go, go now! ”
Chong Shiheng: "Your Majesty, you wait!" They haven't arrived yet! ”
Zhao Zhen: "What do you mean?" Didn't you say they came back? ”
Chong Shiheng: "Your Majesty, things are like this. The message from the watchtower of the river defense fleet along the Yellow River that the treasure team has arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River, and it is expected that it will arrive in the capital in half a month, please wait patiently! ”
"I see!" Zhao Zhen nodded slightly: "I know, you hurry up and arrange, make the pomp a little bigger, and the atmosphere a little thicker, and then I will personally greet them!" ”
Chong Shiheng: "The minister obeys the order!" Minister, let's arrange it! ”
……
At the mouth of the Yellow River, two large boats were parked on the riverside, and a large group of "madmen" on the shore were kneeling on the ground and crying, and even grabbing dirt and swallowing it in their mouths.
The people in the vicinity, looking at their ragged clothes, thought that they were fleeing from somewhere, and lamented the difficulties of the world!
"It's finally back!"
Even Qi Zhonghao, who is nervous, is not vulgar, although he did not gnaw on the mud, he still rubbed the fine sand by the river and sighed.
"Yes! It's finally back! Liang Shi, who followed Qi Zhonghao's side, also sighed: "Although the journey is a little harder, we finally live up to our mission, I hope these things we bring back are really as magical as the saint said!" It's not in vain for us to go through this experience! ”
Yang Sien patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "Two brothers, don't sigh, hurry up and go back, don't let the saint wait in a hurry." ”
Liang Shi: "Xiao Yang is right, the Jiangfang lookout post has sent a message just now, presumably the saint will know in a few days, let's hurry up and set off." Big brother, go and gather all the soldiers, clean up the clothes that should be washed, don't be sloppy and go back to see the saint, so that the saint and the people can see that the impact is not good! ”
"Got it!" Qi Zhonghao responded, dragged out an iron horn from behind, found a place on higher ground, and shouted at the crazy crowd: "Give me a little quiet!" Have you forgotten that you are a soldier? Look at you all like that, with unshaven beards, ragged clothes, and a stinking smell. Do you want the Holy Lord and my people in the Great Song Dynasty to see what you look like now? ”
"I don't want to!" "I don't want to!" "I don't want to ......," a group of soldiers replied in a row.
Qi Zhonghao: "Since you don't want to, then hurry up and wash yourself clean, cut off your hair and beard, and then change into spare new clothes, so that the saint and the people of the world can see the demeanor of your future navy!" ”
"Good Ratcha!" The group of soldiers rushed into the river with a mad scream, and in the icy water, they hurriedly finished their painful and happy bath.
Half a month later.
On the wharf of the capital, flags are displayed and colorful flags are fluttering. The emperor's dragon stopped in the center of the wide dock, the ministers surrounded it, and the soldiers of the forbidden army surrounded the entire dock, so that those ordinary people who were bored and had fun could only stay on the side of the hill, but fortunately, when the imperial power was at its greatest, no one dared to stand up and accuse Zhao Zhen of discordant behavior.
This time, the action was much bigger than when he set off, and even Zhao Zhen's mother, who usually only played mahjong and fought landlords in the palace, was picked up by Zhang Rou.
"Your Majesty, I wonder how long your treasure exploration team will last?" Liu E may have been a little tired of waiting, so she couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Zhen: "Queen Mother, please wait a while, just now someone came to report, the treasure team is only five miles away from here, presumably it will be half an hour before it arrives." Or, how many games of mahjong are you playing? ”
Liu E had no words, and directly answered Zhao Zhen's words with practical actions.
"Shuffle and shuffle! Don't be a fool of the queen, quickly give the bracelet that she lost to the mourning family just now to the mourning family, the mourning family has envied it for a long time! ”
Zhang Rou stared at her eyes and bent her mouth, and said in a cute voice: "Queen Mother, have mercy on me!" This bracelet is a promise given to me by the emperor! If I don't owe you first, I'll be fine when I go back! ”
Liu E: "Don't put aside the mourning family to come to this set, Concubine Li and Concubine Yang eat your set, the mourning family doesn't eat this set, selling cuteness is not good for the mourning family......"
The "dispute" caused by a bracelet is still being staged, one side is changing the law, and the other side is resisting to the death, until the figures of two large ships appear on the river surface as far as the field of vision, and several people have shifted their focus.
Zhao Zhen hooked his hand at Sun Fu and whispered in his ear, "Let's start!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sun Fu replied in a low voice.
Then, he walked to the side and faced a group of soldiers with trumpets and musical instruments, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Thunder drum...... Played...... Sing the national anthem! ”
Knock, knock, knock, knock......
The river breeze blows, the war drums beat!
The thunderous drums instantly resounded over the pier, and as the drums became more and more intense, the sounds of other instruments also floated in, creating a majestic, generous, and resonant atmosphere.
While everyone was still celebrating the heroic music, the sergeants holding the horns raised the horns together and sang in unison:
Go to my rivers and mountains, the blood will not be dried, and there will be no truce to die.
Go to my rivers and mountains, the blood will not be dried, and there will be no truce to die.
The Great Song Dynasty of the Central Plains, like the sun rising, a hundred years of national hatred, the sea is difficult to peace.
The world is in turmoil, how can Kangning, Song has a sharp soldier, who competes with him?
There is the Great Song Dynasty in the east, such as the sun rising, a hundred years of national hatred, and the sea is difficult to peace.
The world is in turmoil, how can Kangning, Song has a sharp soldier, who competes with him?
……
The majestic and heroic singing, brought together by hundreds of people, accompanied by the heart-wrenching music, aroused the hidden blood in people's hearts, as if they were in the midst of thousands of horses......
The lyrics were simple, very short, and easy to understand, and soon after, some young people who watched the excitement also joined the singing group.
Zhao Zhen looked at Sun Fu, and the two nodded heartily, showing a knowing smile.
The cyclic singing did not slowly subside until the two large ships came to the shore.
Liang Shi and the others hurriedly disembarked with the soldiers and assembled in front of the dock, and Zhao Zhen also came to them with the ministers.
Liang Shi came out of the column and saluted Zhao Zhen and shouted loudly and slowly: "Your Majesty, the treasure exploration team was ordered to visit the American continent, the whole process lasted 499 days, and now the task has been completed and the voyage has returned smoothly!" All the members of the treasure exploration team should be two thousand and fifty-six, but there are one thousand five hundred and fifty-two, five hundred and four sacrifices, and the rest of the team members are all here, please review it! Salute! ”
Whew!
The more than 1,000 soldiers of the treasure exploration team present raised their arms and shouted together: "Please review it!" Please review it! ”
At this moment, not only the surrounding people, but also the civil and military officials, there seemed to be an indescribable tremor in their hearts.
Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, slowly walked into the crowd, helped them lift their arms one by one, and patted them heavily on the shoulder.
Soon after, Zhang Rou also followed Zhao Zhen's footsteps and lowered the saluting arms for the soldiers.
Then, more and more ministers didn't know if it was for sycophancy, but they really understood the hardships of the soldiers, and slowly joined the ranks...... (To be continued.) )
