Chapter 70: Peeping

Zhang Wenyi has always given the impression of being a very well-behaved and helpless girl. So people ignore her feats of escaping from the encirclement of the official army, traveling 400 miles alone, and killing people in the palace.

Even if she could escape after being sunk by Princess Pingyang Zhao, no one noticed this except for Li Shimin, Li Yirou, and Li Ji.

In the past, although Chen Juan knew that the crown princess had escaped death, she just felt that she couldn't think of who saved her. But today she realized that she might be wrong, maybe this crown princess was saving herself at all.

If the crown princess is saving herself, Chen Juan asked: If you get along with each other, you will definitely not be able to do it. Now that her crown princess's eyes had changed, Zhang Wenyi saw awe in her eyes.

This is what Zhang Wenyi needs, and there is a lack of people around her who can be used. I don't know what happened to the five girls in the clothing shop now, maybe they have been abolished.

Now that this Chen Juan can be used to win over her, Zhang Wenyi decided to let her be a help for herself.

"The servant doesn't dare." Chen Juan said timidly.

Zhang Wenyi held up Chen Juan's chin and said coldly: "This world is already harsh on women, and I don't want women to embarrass women." But some people are happy to do it, always thinking that they can take advantage of it to get into the position. Maybe I can't play tricks, but I can't make her play! ”

Chen Juan believes that the princess's words are true, and the princess's ability will definitely be able to do it. Before, she thought that Princess Pingyang Zhao could protect her, but now if the enemy is replaced by this crown princess, Chen Juan feels that it is difficult for Princess Pingyang Zhao to even protect herself, let alone protect them.

"Yes, the servant understands."

Looking at Chen Juan, who didn't even dare to look at herself, Zhang Wenyi knew in her heart that she had now taken the first step to ambush her.

Zhang Wenyi wrote some items on a piece of paper and gave them to Chen Juan for her to purchase.

Chen Juan looked at the items written on the paper, and said in her heart: "Is the crown princess going to alchemy?" ”

Zhang Wenyi watched Chen Juan's back disappear at the door of the camp tent, and wanted to go back to bed directly to continue sewing underwear for Li Zhi, but finally after thinking about it, he got out of the sleeping tent, pretended to have nothing to do, and came to the artisan camp of the rear army.

Xu Tiezhu is the actual head of the artisan battalion and is a blacksmith. The craftsmanship is superb, and he is a recognized master of the craftsman battalion, and when he farts here, the entire craftsman battalion will tremble.

Because of his superb skills, people gave him the nickname "Xu Tiehammer" at the beginning, but later he was called too much, but they forgot his real name.

Xu Tiehammer, who was rotating the hammer, saw Zhang Wenyi coming, he hurriedly handed the hammer to the apprentice, and walked out of the shed to greet Zhang Wenyi: "Why did Your Highness come here, there is ash everywhere here, don't stain your skirt." ”

The current Zhang Wenyi is the most popular person in the artisan camp, because some time ago, when distributing rations, Zhang Wenyi found out that a warden of the ordnance supervisor had deducted the craftsmen's rations and brought him to justice. As a result, the artisan camp was renovated, and it was very happy.

This man not only withheld the artisan's rations, but also often used shoddy iron to collect some rotten iron as good iron. Accepting bribes to hand over some unqualified weapons as qualified weapons, and also letting some people who can only shoot whiskers and horses as foremen to squeeze other craftsmen.

That day, the crown princess Niangniang cut down this ceremony in front of all the craftsmen battalion. He also ordered a thorough investigation of the officials of the artisan battalion, and ordered these people to report the situation of self-correction and return the bribes within three days. After three days, he will personally bring someone to inspect it, and if anyone is found to be concealing, he will be guilty of the same crime as the beheaded pawn.

Three days later, the crown princess really brought people into the ordnance prison and thoroughly investigated all forty-seven officials. Seventeen officials who were found to be concealing were immediately beheaded, and the remaining 30 were reprimanded and temporarily retained their posts for meritorious service.

At the same time, a document was issued on the place of residence of the beheaded officials, and they demanded that the homes of those people be raided.

Through the purge of officials, the re-evaluation of the foremen of the artisan battalion, and the re-election of those who do not meet the requirements are all recalled on the spot, and those who became foremen by bribery are now starting as apprentices.

Those craftsmen who have been squeezed for a long time are all thunderous, and the completely renovated craftsman battalion reformulates the work process, whether it is manufacturing or repair, the craftsmen are in full swing.

"Master Xu, I have something for you to help build," Zhang Wenyi said with a smile.

Xu Tiehammer rubbed a pair of big hands, smiled toothlessly, and said continuously: "Zhong, Zhong, what does His Highness want to do, just let someone inform you." ”

Zhang Wenyi drew a drawing of what she wanted, and then she took out the drawing and handed it to Xu Tiehammer. Then he explained in detail the requirements of size, material and process.

Xu Tiezhu was secretly frightened when he heard this: What does this female doll want these things for, it is not like the girl's items in the boudoir, but like a hidden weapon and a crossbow.

When I returned to the dormitory from the craftsman camp, I found that Cheng Chubi had been waiting for a long time. Let him into the sleeping tent, Cheng Chubi reported: "Your Highness, there are really people peeping in the dark. ”

Voyeurs were spotted in the direction where Jajay was going, and those people were very alert and noticed Jay's approach very early. As a result, Jay only killed one during the pursuit, and the rest all fled.

According to Jayjie, these people have all been soldiers, and there are scouts in them. They are very cunning and leave no traces on their bodies.

Zhang Wenyi asked, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know?" ”

Cheng Chubi replied: "Someone has been sent to inform you, and the prince should know at this time." ”

Zhang Wenyi thought for a while and said, "Where do you go to the prince, ask the prince to come over and discuss." ”

Cheng Chubi agreed, turned around and walked out of the bed.

After a while, Li Zhi followed Cheng Chubi back to the sleeping tent, and he asked with a calm expression: "What's the big deal to let Gu have to come?" ”

Zhang Wenyi first moved a stool for him to sit on, and then said softly: "Your Highness, General Cheng was patrolling outside today and found that someone was spying on our rear army camp. ”

In the past few days, several convoys have not arrived on time, and according to the previous emergency plan, Li Zhi is using the grain stockpiles and requisitioning grain in the predetermined prefectures and counties, and sending the grain to the combat troops in the front.

These tasks are complicated and cumbersome, and it is easy to make a big mistake if you are not careful, so Li Zhi has been in a state of high tension for the past few days.

Someone reported the appearance of suspicious characters around the camp, but Li Zhi didn't pay much attention to it. Although the rear army was small in number, it also had 10,000 troops to defend. It is also located in Dingzhou, the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is mountain bandits or some big thieves, they are not able to pose much threat to the rear army.

Even if there is a rebellion in the state capital, the number of troops is enough to resist, so there are people peeping around, Li Zhi does not feel that there is any problem, on the contrary, he feels that Zhang Wenyi is making a fuss.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "A little bit of a thief is not enough to worry about, the concubine is too worried." ”

With Cheng Chubi in front of him, Li Zhi did not call Zhang Wenyi "wife". This is an agreement between them, "husband" and "wife" can only be called in private, and they still have to follow the rules on formal occasions.

Zhang Wenyi thought about it, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Maybe the concubine is too worried, after what happened last time, the concubine always has some cup bow and snake shadow." If His Highness is very busy, it is better to leave the matter to the concubines and General Cheng, so as to ensure the safety of the camp, and His Highness does not have to be too distracted. ”

Li Zhi felt that Zhang Wenyi was always nested in the sleeping tent during this time, and she might be bored, and it was not bad for her to do something.

So he agreed: "That's fine." As he spoke, he turned to Cheng Chubi and said: "The big camp is you patrolling, since you have found someone snooping, then find a way to catch someone for me, so as to save Luo Ji every day." If you find anything, you can directly communicate to the crown princess, and you don't have to go through the lonely king again. ”

Cheng Chubi agreed to retreat, and waited for Cheng Chubi to go away. Li Zhi hugged Zhang Wenyi and said with a smile: "To be honest, has Jing Ji been thinking about it these days?" ”

Sitting on Li Zhi's lap, Zhang Wenyi couldn't cry or laugh. But she suddenly remembered something and said, "My husband has something important to discuss with you!" ”

Li Zhi smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" You can't do it right now. ”

Zhang Wenyi blushed and gently punched him, and said, "It's not serious, people are telling you business." ”

Li Zhi hurriedly held back, and said with a straight face: "You say." As he said this, a pair of hands were dishonestly exploring Zhang Wenyi's body.

Enduring the discomfort on his body, Zhang Wenyi gently pressed Li Zhi's hand that was making a mistake on his body, and said: "The place where you are collecting grain now is gradually approaching the land of Dongqingji, and there are many heroes here, but I am afraid that everything may not go well." It's a good idea to find a more reliable place in case you need to respond. ”

When Zhang Wenyi said this, Li Zhi stopped. After thinking for a while, he said: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are known as the land of fish and rice, but the road is far away, and it is possible to take the canal, but it is the autumn season recently, and the canal is only afraid that it is also overcrowded." ”

Zhang Wenyi smiled and asked, "Why doesn't Your Highness try shipping?" ”

Li Zhi hesitated for a long time and asked, "Sea freight?" ”

Zhang Wenyi stood up from Li Zhi's body and walked to the side, found a pen and paper, and sketched the outline of the eastern coastal area.

In front of Li Zhi, he said: "Your Highness, you see that sea ships can be transported directly to the front line from near Qiantang through Yangzhou, Haizhou, and Dengzhou. Although the wind and waves at sea are relatively large, the speed of sea ships is also faster than that on land. You can run 230 or 40 miles a day, and you can reach it in only 11 or 2 days from Qiantang to the front line. ”

After a pause, Zhang Wenyi continued: "There are some things that can't be done on land with sea ships, a sea ship can carry almost 400,000 catties of weight, and more than a dozen sea ships can transport four or five million catties of grain and weapons. One shipment can solve the big problems on the front line. ”

Li Zhidao: "Although the idea is good, there are so many sea ships there? ”

Zhang Wenyi said with a smile: "I heard my father say that Quanzhou in southern Fujian is full of maritime merchants, and there are many cargo ships, so it is not a problem to get a dozen ships from where." ”
