Seven days have passed since Lu Bu last looked for a drink, five days have passed since Lu Lingqi went home to complain, and more than a dozen hours have passed since Zhang Chunhua's father and Zhang Yang's brother Zhang Wang and his wife entered the palace for a family banquet......

At this time, Bai Tu was being interrogated by the four halls, and at the round table for dinner, Lu Lingqi, Xiahou Juan, and Xu Rong ...... And Zhang Chunhua, who usually doesn't appear here, is sitting on the side, and after Bai Tu saw this layout, it was already late!

Originally, Bai Tu thought that today was Lu Lingqi and the three of them, and they wanted to have a good talk with Zhang Chunhua, who knew that as soon as they entered the door...... Something seems to be wrong with this time?

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu sit down, do you want the concubine to move a chair for you?" Lu Lingqi rolled her eyes and said.

"Stand down! The king moved by himself. Bai Tu said very majestically.

However, at this time, there were no other guards to follow, including Sun Shangxiang, who was also guarding outside, and Lu Lingqi and the four of them...... Originally, no one had the intention of helping him move.

Originally, Bai Tu thought that Lu Lingqi specially asked Zhang Chunhua to come over today, and asked herself to come after she was busy, in order to "train" Zhang Chunhua.

Of course, Bai Tu also knew that since Lu Lingqi nodded, she would not embarrass Zhang Chunhua much, at most she would just "intimidate" - after all, Zhang Chunhua had not been liked by Lu Lingqi before because she had too many "thoughts".

Even Bai Tu is ready, ready to intercede for Zhang Chunhua and let Lu Lingqi not scare people very much, who knows...... The reality is that it's going to be the other way around!

Sure enough, after Bai Tu took his seat, Lu Lingqi began to criticize Bai Tu's bad behavior in recent years, and what made Bai Tu depressed was that not only Xiahou Juan and Xu Rong were just watching the excitement from the sidelines, occasionally winking at themselves, and even ...... Even Zhang Chunhua, who has always been intimate, didn't say a word at this time!

In vain, the king valued you so much, and wanted to intercede with you before......

Bai Tu was a little indignant and aggrieved and gave Zhang Chunhua a look, but Zhang Chunhua ignored it completely, and even occasionally gave Lu Lingqi help.

Zhang Chunhua naturally figured out Bai Tu's character a long time ago......

At this time, helping Bai Tu speak, offending Empress Lu with nothing, and these small help are not enough to make Bai Tu favor her in the future, but if she has the intention of being pampered and arrogant, Bai Tu will definitely be the first to be dissatisfied!

In contrast...... Bai Tu will not "hold grudges", not to mention that he has just entered the Chu Palace, so he naturally has to have a good relationship with others!

Lu Lingqi talked for a long time, and after drinking all the tea that Zhang Chunhua poured for her, it finally came to an end temporarily.

Then entered today's topic, Lu Lingqi looked left and right, and then said: "In order to avoid any unexpected behavior in the future 'His Royal Highness the King of Chu', several sisters unanimously support the palace and formulate the highest code of conduct of the Chu Palace to restrain it!" I saw that Xiahou Juan and Xu Rong were just embarrassed to acquiesce, while Zhang Chunhua nodded very positively.

White Picture: ......

After a series of "nonsense", Lu Lingqi mentioned the core of the norm - the number of harems should not be unrestrained, and in the face of the ministers, especially a privy envoy who did not want to be named, Bai Tu, as the king of Chu, should take a firm stand!

"So...... His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that if he set an upper limit for himself......" Lu Lingqi said as she looked at Bai Tu.

"I've always been a proponent of monogamy! Even now, I ...... It's enough for the four of you! Bai Tu said immediately.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness the King of Chu thinks twice." Lu Lingqi pouted when she heard this.

In fact, last night, when Lu Lingqi first mentioned this matter to Zhang Chunhua, she really thought so - there is a fifth, she is responsible for beating to death, Xiaojuan is responsible for writing death, Rong Rong is responsible for counting death, and Zhang Chunhua is responsible for dying of anger......

However, Zhang Chunhua gave different conditions.

According to Zhang Chunhua's analysis, four people ...... The vows will definitely be broken, and once the covenant is broken, it is meaningless.

And when is it? Although the people are seeking stability and accumulation as much as possible, the DPRK and the central government and the local government offices have made all-round preparations for war!

The focus of preparations for war is nothing more than logistical reserves, the army, and the government.

Needless to say, the logistics of the Chu State now can allow the soldiers to eat dried meat, salted fish, and compressed dry food at the level of dragged to the armies of other princes, and they don't even have to gnaw on the bark of grass roots - provided that the supply line is not stretched too long, or through some sections that are difficult to transport!

As for the armed forces, it is nothing more than thoroughly implementing the new military system, and at the same time ...... The mystery of training grassroots fighters "real air guns".

Now that the captain-level officers have basically been trained, the rotation training has basically been completed, as long as the time is ripe, the comprehensive popularization of training to lieutenants, ensigns, and naturally the following Ji Zao soldiers can command the battle and conduct preliminary training - after all, the use of "real air guns", compared with bows and arrows, is known for its simple training and easy operation.

And the current breech gun doesn't need to practice too much target shooting, just shoot a salvo forward......

The "difficulty" is more reflected in the fulfillment of orders on the battlefield.

For middle-level generals, the main thing is to train some tactical command and coordination, and the actual use of guns is actually very easy to train......

It's just that once the lieutenant and second lieutenant are fully trained, there is no need to think about keeping the matter of the "real air gun" secret, even now, there are already a lot of rumors, saying that a powerful "marble" has appeared in Chu State, and it must be fully equipped!

Of course, many people don't believe this kind of words, although everyone has never seen a marble crossbow, but since it falls on the "crossbow", then everyone's first impression of it is that it is expensive - how can it be fully equipped with an army of more than 100,000?

However, in fact, after the ceiling of steel production was pierced, the cost of guns and the speed of mass production were much cheaper and faster than "crossbows", and bullets were even cheaper than crossbow arrows, after all, one was a metal with a large knuckle, and the other was a collection of wooden poles, arrowheads, and bird feathers......

Judging from the present, Chu Guoshi is preparing to officially start comprehensive training by the middle of the year, and will no longer keep his hands for secrecy.

As for the war preparedness of the DPRK and government, at the local level, the two-tier system of prefectures and counties is in full swing, while in the DPRK and China, it is ...... Some important positions will be prioritized for "stability".

For example, the scholars of the palace who have a tendency to change people are bound to complete the substitution within a few months, so as not to change the "appearance" in the battle, such as Lu Bu and Huang Chengyan.

The former is because he will be on the front line at that time, so it is naturally not suitable to serve as a central and important position that needs to stay in Jinling at the same time, and the "wired fine report" can only be useful when defending, and when attacking...... Laying takes time.

The latter is because he will personally sit in Nanjun at that time, so as not to give birth to other chaos in Jingzhou......

And the successor is also a person with a little official and a half-position, which can be guessed.

Succeeding Lu Bu will be Chen Gong, who has returned from the south - after his "Ming Ce" has a new use and sets an example in land reclamation, the value of Chen Gong has shifted from battlefield command to policy planning.

And in addition to being Chu Chen, Chen Gong is also Lu Bu's "retainer", and he still perfectly continues the previous factional mission.

Huang Chengyan's successor will undoubtedly be Jiang Wan, and he is likely to take over with the "Ministry of Officials" at that time.

Jiang Wan is also from Jingzhou, but ...... It is more inclined to the cold door, to meet the requirements of both intersecting with the Jingzhou scholars, and at the same time inclined to Chu Xue, Chu Wang, and Chu State!

Not long ago, Huang Chengyan began to take him around to visit his "old friends" in Jingzhou.

And when it comes to Huang Chengyan's words......

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, don't forget that when Huang Lao resigns from the position of a scholar of the palace, he may mention some 'idle things'!" Lu Lingqi said and gritted her teeth at Bai Tu.
