Lu Futai was half-joking, half-blaming, when even let Ge Laoliu, Jiulang and the other two laugh instantly, but Zhang Xiaojing stood in the center with a strange look and rubbed his left hand and his right hand was a little embarrassed.

"Old man Lu, I thought that you would not be able to transfer you from Beijing to this bitter cold land in Hubei, but now it seems that the water and soil in this land of Hubei are also very nourishing, your old majesty has not diminished, but I waited for a few stinky things when I was young, you don't want to be so anxious not to forget, now I wait for how to say it is also a prodigal son, what you just said is even involved with the saint, you can't afford to bear this big crime of disrespect...... At the beginning, I was playing behind his ass, and after all, it was the person who was taken to the case......"

"Sixth, sixth, if your grandfather knows that even the saint should joke with your mouth, I'm afraid that I will tear it up alive, don't talk about it, let's talk about important things, the saint asked them to escort the material, presumably it is not for you to wait to come to the mountains and rivers, since you have come, then in the future, you will not dare to come nonsense in this land of Hunan, even if this official can't help the prestige of your Chang'an Thirteen Taibao, but General Zhang's military law can be iron-faced and selfless!"

Lu Zhongtian moved Zhang Xiaojing out in a few words, because he was really a little apprehensive by these gentlemen, if he didn't suppress their arrogance first, he was really afraid that in the future, these people who didn't know what to do would cause a big disaster, after all, this place in Hubei and Hunan is the forefront of the war, and although the hundreds of thousands of troops are safe, they are also facing each other in a fierce manner.

And as soon as he said it, Ge Lao Liu immediately put away his jokes, and then took out the documents from his arms that he helped to transfer, but he directly bypassed Lu Zhongtian, the master of the house, and handed it to Zhang Xiaojing very respectfully. "General Zhang, in the future, my brothers and I will be on an errand under your command, you have to take good care of it!" Zhang Xiaojing was stunned at first, but after taking the document and reading it, he immediately nodded with a smile, because Li Mao brought these people over to be captains in the army, apparently to suppress the nobles in the land of Hunan, and was afraid that Zhang Xiaojing would not be able to handle it, but secretly Zhang Xiaojing also understood Li Mao's other intentions in doing this.

That is, he now has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and in this land of Hunan, he can be said to be a person who is not afraid of ten thousand people, and these people are not to say that they are from the martial arts hall, and the identity behind them is even more than a cow, if they are on the side to restrain themselves, then even if he Zhang Xiaojing is capable, he will not be able to make 300,000 big iron into his own private soldiers.

Of course, these things are tacit things in everyone's opinion, no matter how loyal a person is, but how can it be unpredictable, Zhang Xiaojing did not complain about Li Mao's behavior at the moment, but immediately felt a lot more relieved, because Li Mao's behavior is really for his Zhang Xiaojing's sake, otherwise in the long run, even if Li Mao doesn't say anything, those officials in the court will drown him Zhang Xiaojing with spittle.

So after some greetings, a few people were busy signing and putting away all the supplies, not to mention the hundreds of truckloads of explosives, which were checked by Zhang Xiaojing himself and verified into the warehouse, and everyone really put their hearts down. Taking advantage of the gap, Ge Lao Liu and Jiu Jiu Lang were still very mysterious, pulled Zhang Xiaojing aside, handed over a cigarette, and muttered quietly: "Brother Xiao Jing, before we came, we were called to the palace by the sage to talk for a while, he asked me to tell you, it's all your own brothers, don't think too much, you are now leading hundreds of thousands of troops on one side, and you will inevitably be feared, so this arrangement is also a last resort...... Then there is the matter of explosives, this land of Hubei is the front line of the war, and spies from all sides are indispensable, and the meaning of the saint is that you must take care of the sharp weapons of these countries......"

After listening to Ge Lao Liu's words, Zhang Xiaojing immediately took a few deep breaths, and then nodded slightly and replied with a smile: "Lao Liu, urge Jiu, you and the saint have thought too much, I was just a small flag officer who disobeyed the orders of the tall and handsome man, and I was able to sit in today's position step by step with the sage's care, not to mention that the army is not a big army, it is my life, the saint can take it at any time if he wants, I am a rough man, but the Tao in it is also clear, and it is difficult for the saint to do, but you are here to be the best, Won't the big guys discuss anything in the future? What generals, the handsome ones don't talk about this set here in our brothers, it's just that you still have to be wronged for a few days when you first arrive, the army is different from other places, it talks about seniority and military exploits, even if you are named by the saint himself, I can't be martyred...... The gang under my hands is not even convinced! ”

"Understand, I and Brother Jiu are both understanding people, these people still understand the world, we will be a captain under your Zhang Dashuai in the future, not even next, I was forced by the old man in the family to stay in the martial arts hall for three years and didn't learn anything else, those old miscellaneous experience and experience, we have learned and mastered, and in the future, we will follow Brother Zhang, you will mix, can you mix a few military achievements, don't you also glorify your ancestors? Ha ha...... But Brother Zhang, you can think like this, it is the same as the sage expected, he also thinks that it is too much for the brothers to say these words, but he is also afraid that you will not taste it...... Now that he is the emperor, he doesn't think about anything as much as before, but one thing is still as generous as ever! By the way, alcohol is forbidden in the army, but you, the handsome, should not be among them, let's have a good drink when we go back to rest......"

"Haha...... A few of you, you're still old, you don't have to guess that half of the good wine in Chang'an City has been brought by a few of you, right? "It's not just wine! We also do the same with other good things, and the devil knows when I will be able to go back to Chang'an City again! He knows all these saints, and many of the things are still purchased by a few mothers themselves? In addition, the dozens of cargo ships are the best things, go back, Brother Zhang, you will know how powerful they are if you order someone to pull them into Dongting Lake for a drill......" Before Ge Lao Liu finished speaking, Jiu Jiulang immediately took out a list of special materials from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xiaojing to see.

"Brother Zhang, these are all extra things, all of them are the hearts of saints!" When Zhang Xiaojing heard that it was Li Mao's personal gift, he immediately respectfully took the list and looked at it, but it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he was really taken aback when he saw it. "This ...... These 3,000 stainless steel armor, 5,000 Mo knives, and 10,000 thunderbolts are also intentions? This is not a ...... in the army"

"No, no...... What the sage means, your brother Zhang is also a member of the party now, how can you become a pro-army guard? These things are your personal equipment! As for the 500,000 stone grain and grass are all fishermen, Wang Niangniang's mind is regarded as the leader of the natural residence chamber of commerce, the land of Hubei is poor, and it takes a year and a half for the army to reclaim farmland, with these grains, at least the local people can reduce some of the burden! "Sixth, the saint is still thoughtful, and I'm worried about this matter? Hundreds of thousands of mouths eat and drink every day, and there are so many people who come to help spontaneously, they can't be asked to bring their own rations! With these 500,000 stones, I really solved the urgent need......"

"Haha...... Brother Zhang, what are you anxious about, look down! Not only food, but also money? The five million banknotes and silver bills that have just been printed, although these cannot be bought and sold from ordinary merchants, but the slightly larger ones can be used normally from next month, and you don't need to come forward in person without your brother Zhang coming forward, those well-informed clan giants will take the initiative to do business with you, and the business in the army is a million profits, and the meaning of the sage is also to hope that you can be flexible to revitalize the silver banknotes in the land of Hunan......"

Zhang Xiaojing looked at Ge Lao Liuhe with blank eyes, and hesitated for a long time before he suddenly understood the intention of their words, it turned out that Li Mao not only came to deliver materials this time, but also gave him such a big gift, because according to the usual rules, how can he not interfere with this military supplies as the commander of an army, and this time Ge Lao Liu and a few people will take the initiative to let him take care of it personally, so the use of this silver ticket and banknote should be very important in Li Mao's eyes, in other words, whether this material can be bought is secondary, What is more important is that silver bills and banknotes should be built up in Hubei and Hunan.

In this way, after both sides have figured things out, then the next thing is also very smooth, with the blessing of a large number of materials and money, the pace of construction in Hubei and Hunan has naturally accelerated a lot, and in just three months, the entire Hubei and Hunan regions have mobilized more than one million strong laborers to destroy forests and fields, open mountains and pave roads, especially after Yang Guozhong arrived in Japan, he quickly transported more than 300,000 low-cost laborers over in a steady stream. Many of the places where the construction of the project in Datang has been supplemented by more vitality like a tiger with wings.

And Zhang Xiaojing's Hubei and Hunan provinces were also heavily allocated to more than 100,000 Japanese laborers. "General Zhang, these young men and women of the Japanese Dao, what kind of identity do we want to manage with them, prisoners of war, or Fan clan labor, or my Tang Dynasty plundered ......"

As soon as Lu Futai's words came out, Zhang Xiaojing, Ge Laoliu and others all laughed together, after all, the hearts of people who read the book of sages are still a little softer, and they will more or less stick to the rules and be pedantic. "Master Lu, there are some things that can be done! These hundreds of thousands of Japanese Fan people say that they are prisoners of our Tang Army, which is indeed not very rigorous, because most of them are not soldiers on the battlefield, even if some are, but they are also people who take the initiative to surrender, in addition, the word plunder is too ugly for you to say, according to the news we received, these people are all called by Lord Yang Guozhong to take the initiative to work in my Tang Dynasty, of course, if they are compared with other Fan people, it may be a little different, Anyway, if there is any danger in the future, let them and Kunlun Nu go up first, don't we all have enough cornmeal, steamed buns, and bone and meat soup for one or two meals? What about three taels of silver tickets in a year? ”
