After Li Yue casually said a few perfunctory words, he hurriedly rushed back to the house.

One night, I didn't even eat, I washed four times just in the shower, and I didn't stop until my body was swollen at the end.

"Oh my God, I'll never do this kind of thing again next time, I hope these people can't be stupid enough to go home and forget about it all after teaching it once."

Li Yue said with a sigh.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

"Childe, are you still bathing? I've brought you an aromatherapy to help you get rid of the odor. ”

There was a knock on the door and Chen Lingyue's voice outside the door, and Li Yue, who had finished taking a bath, still felt that the smell on his body was strong.

Hearing this, he immediately walked out of the inner hall wrapped in a coarse cloth.

The moment he opened the door, Li Yue saw that Chen Lingyue had just finished freshening up, and her face was still full of moisture.

However, the faint fragrance of the incense burner in his hand made him a little curious.

"Miss Chen, can this aromatherapy really remove the odor from this body?"

Li Yue said excitedly.

"Yes, Childe, but can Childe not call me Miss Chen? It's okay to call me Yue'er or Lingyue. ”

Chen Lingyue said shyly.

"Although Yue'er is good-sounding, I have a maid who is also called Yue'er, so I'll call you Lingyue!"

Li Yue smiled indifferently.

"Whatever you call your son, just don't call me Miss Chen."

Chen Lingyue said with satisfaction.

Li Yue took the incense and looked at his body, which was already a little soaked, and could only rely on the faint fragrance emitted by the incense burner to get rid of the odor on his body.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yue, who woke up, felt all his body stretched.

And the moment she walked out at this time, she found that Chen Lingyue was already waiting in the courtyard.

"Lingyue, why did you come here so early? Is there something urgent? ”

Li Yue asked with some concern.

"Childe, it's not a big deal, but I just want to ask, what I'm going to today is Huaiyuan City, where the Qin family makes firearms and red-clothed cannons, is there anything that needs to be brought in advance?"

Chen Lingyue obviously looked excited, but she still deliberately suppressed it.

"There's nothing to prepare in advance, let's go there and have a look, after all, the Qin family has no armory in the city of Huainan, which is ours."

Li Yue was unusually satisfied, hurriedly finished freshening up, and immediately headed towards Huaiyuan City with Chen Lingyue.

Huainan has seven counties, with Huaiyuan County being the richest.

The reason for this is mainly because it undertook the manufacture of firearms from the imperial court in the coastal area.

Li Yue rode his horse, set off in the morning, and arrived at the boundary of Huaiyuan County after noon.

The accompanying guards went to Huaiyuan County to inform first.

Li Yue took Chen Lingyue and began to look around at the terrain and landforms, which looked like they were playing in the mountains and rivers, but they were actually investigating the terrain.

"Childe, this place is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains and rivers are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is an excellent treasure place to retreat by waterway."

Chen Lingyue said with a sigh.

"Yes, I also feel that this place is good, and as the manufacturing bureau of firearms for the entire army in the future, it should indeed be built here."

Li Yue looked around with a satisfied face, accompanied by the rivers, and could transport firearms to several counties in Huainan Province mainly by waterway.

"Childe, this place is really good, so if it is transformed here, it can be used as a hinterland fortress."

Chen Lingyue said confidently.

"I think so too, after all, there are still tens of thousands of captives, let them come and rebuild this place for me."

Li Yue was extremely excited, looking at the entire terrain, as if he already had a plan in his mind.

"It turns out that Gongzi has already planned to let these soldiers be used as labor and rebuild this place."

Chen Lingyue looked at Li Yue with admiration on her face, and she had been secretly sighing in her heart, the man in front of her was very thoughtful.

Hearing this, Li Yue also smiled a little embarrassed.

"Haha, I didn't think about it so much at the beginning, who let such a large number of surrendered troops be captured!"

Li Yue said helplessly.

"Childe, your current food is enough to feed an army of 100,000, but there are only 20,000 in the three prefectures, why don't these troops expand the army?"

Chen Lingyue looked at Li Yue in front of her with a puzzled expression.

I was thinking in my heart that in such a troubled time, tens of thousands of surrendered troops were not recruited, but turned into hard labor, which is incomprehensible.

"Don't understand? Then let's talk while walking, it's not too early, and we must rush to Huaiyuan County in the evening. ”

Li Yue looked indifferent, and waved his horse to spur the horse away.

The guards who followed him were all very strong and mighty, and the chain mail they wore was even more majestic.

More than 30 guards were guarding the left and right, and it looked like Li Yue was patrolling like a general.

On the way, Li Yue began to explain his thoughts on the road of elite soldiers, and Chen Lingyue was also full of praise after listening to it.

In this way, the two finally arrived at Huaiyuan County before dark.

As soon as he arrived in the far city, Zhang Zhihai, the county leader of Zhang County, had been waiting outside the city for a long time, and the people in the city also spontaneously came out to greet him.

When Li Yue saw this posture, he immediately frowned and hurriedly stopped.

"In the past, the two of them, talk to the county magistrate, let the people in the city disperse, each performing their duties, where is there so much attention at this time."

Li Yue said angrily.

Hearing this, the two guards around him immediately rode away.

When the guards explained the matter, Zhang Xiancheng was so frightened that he even bowed in the direction where Li Yue was and apologized, and then dismissed the surrounding people.

Seeing that there were no more people outside the city, Li Yue ordered everyone to continue to move forward.

Huaiyuan County originally belonged to the two major forces of the Zhao family and the Qin family, and the Zhao family and the Qin family at this time had long ceased to exist.

There was an undercurrent surging throughout the city, and small forces began to spring up like mushrooms.

"Zhang Xiancheng, I heard from them that you are not very orderly here, and there are always bandits running rampant at night, what kind of governance and law enforcement do you have?"

Li Yue rode his horse and looked at Zhang Xiancheng who was following him.

"Lord Li, forgive me for my incompetence, this matter is really difficult to solve, the bandits you mentioned are all attached to the Zhao family and the Qin family, but now that the two major families have declined, these people have become rogues."

Zhang Xiancheng said with a bitter face.

"Now that Huaiyuan County has no county order, you are the biggest official here, so there is no way to govern this matter?"

Li Yue grabbed the reins suddenly, and the war horse immediately stopped, and at this time, Zhang Xiancheng knelt directly in front of him with a panicked face.

"Lord Li, this can't be blamed for being despicable! At present, there are only a dozen officials in the entire county government yamen, and I can't move the rest of the people at all. ”

Zhang Xiancheng's face was full of grievances, and it seemed that there was endless suffering.
