“Brother Zhu, besides the blacksmiths and supplies, we also bought a cart of mutton and a cart of chickens, ducks, and geese along the way in the town to reward the generals of your battalion. In addition, all the horses and also the wagons have been left for you, to make it easier for you to haul provisions in the future. We won’t go in, so as not to break the rules of your battalion. I don’t want to see a bunch of brown men. You’ve just recruited new soldiers, and you’re placing craftsmen, so you must be very busy, so we won’t take up any more of your time, we’ll be heading back now.”
Li Shu knew that Zhu Pingan had a lot of affairs in the camp, so after explaining, she reluctantly bid farewell to Zhu Pingan.
Apart from the three carriages that Li Shu and her girls were travelling in, Li Shu left all the remaining horses and carriages to Zhu Pingan, there were thirty-eight high headed stallions and thirty-eight larger carriages for hauling goods.
Zhu Pingan was also reluctant to part with them, but it was true that as Li Shu had said, there were too many matters in the barracks.
Cotton armour, placement of new recruits, selection of officers, and also the smiths and apprentices that Li Shu had sent in the snow also had to be placed ……
“Sister Li, slow down on the road, Qin’er and Painting’er you take care of your lady on the road.”
Zhu Pingan explained again and again.
“Don’t worry, Auntie.”Painting and Qin’er nodded with a smile, “We will definitely take care of the young miss as well as the young son.”
“Cough cough, are you still coming back at night, there’s nothing important, it’s just, it’s just that your waifu is actually still a bit misbehaved today, if you have the time, come back at night to educate and educate them again.”
On the way out, Li Shu who was boarding the car under the assistance of Qin’er and Painting’er, turned around to face Zhu Ping An, her pink face containing spring, her pretty face blushing, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, pretending to ask casually.
This turning back, not to be outdone by the shyness and flavour.
“Back, back, of course, education is important, children can’t be spoilt, only filial sons come out from under the stick.”
Zhu Pingan immediately swallowed a mouthful of water and said without hesitation.
“Then we’ll go back and wait for you, dinner will also be good to come home and eat together.”
Li Shu’s pretty face turned even redder, her slender jade hand holding her pregnant belly, she fled like a quail into the carriage.
“Good, take care on the road.”
Zhu Pingan waved goodbye, stopping to watch the carriage drift away, eventually disappearing at the end of the path at the corner of the mountain field ……
“Gongzi, Gongzi ……,” Liu Da Gang’s voice rang in his ears.
“Oh.”Only then did Zhu Pingan come back to his senses from his children’s love, turning his head and asking, “Have the smiths all been placed?”
“Back to my lord, the smiths have all been placed according to your instructions and are all very satisfied.”
Liu Da Gang reported.
“Very good, go, accompany me to check on the smiths and see what they still lack.”Zhu Pingan nodded his head in satisfaction, and then explained to the soldiers guarding the gate, “The mutton and the chicken, duck and goose meat are all given to the catering battalion, so that they can make a good meal at noon to reward the whole army.”
“Promise.”The gatekeeper soldier happily led the order.
As the gate guards pulled the two large carts of mutton and chicken, duck and goose into the barracks and sent them through the group of generals who were competing to the head of the army camp, the news of the general’s wife – Li Shu’s arrival also spread quickly throughout the barracks.
Our general’s wife is really like a heavenly fairy, our general is really blessed, “I tell you, our general’s wife looks really like a heavenly fairy, our general is really blessed, our wife’s heart is good, remembering our generals, enough to send a large carload of twenty heads of mutton, a large carload of two hundred chickens, ducks and geese, thanks to the blessing of our lord, we also have a mouth to feed today. ”
“Our general’s wife is still pregnant, or twins, our general can really have the ability to kill two birds with one stone ah ……”
“Our general and his wife is really a match made in heaven, I dare to put this sentence: to say that a match made in heaven, in addition to the emperor and the empress, it is our lord and his wife.”
The gatekeeper soldier’s immersive description, told vividly, made people also as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.
Especially that large cart full of mutton and a large cart full of chicken, duck, and goose meat, but it was real, everyone could have witnessed it with their own eyes, so everyone was convinced of the words of the gatekeeper soldier.
“Brothers, thanks to the blessing of our general’s wife, we can have a lamb, chicken, duck and goose feast at noon after the competition.”
Hearing that they would be able to eat a big meal after the competition, the crowd of generals were filled with strength and the camp was filled with voices thanking Li Shu.
Liu Dagang, on his way to take Zhu Pingan to place the smith’s tent, scratched his head and smiled as he said to Zhu Pingan, “My lord, the thirty-eight horses left behind by the madam as well as the thirty-eight carriages should be given to our logistics battalion. Our Logistics Battalion has to manage the logistical provisions for the entire battalion, and we can’t do it without horses and carriages.”
“Leave the carriages to you, forget about the steeds, although I don’t know anything about horses, I can tell that the thirty-eight steeds left behind by Sister Li are good horses, more than enough to be war horses, leaving them to your logistics battalion would be a waste of talent.”
Zhu Pingan smiled and shook his head, only agreeing to allocate the carriage to Liu Dagang, the steeds would have to be kept as war horses.
“Your Excellency, only the carriage without horses won’t do.”Liu Dagang did not give up and was very greedy for the thirty-eight horses.
“Then allocate the battalion’s mules, donkeys, and pack horses to your logistics battalion for you to drive.”Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
“Er, well, it’s better than nothing.”
Liu Dagang nodded helplessly, he is a person who understands horses, he knows that these thirty-eight steeds are the best horses in the north, more than enough to be a warhorse, in his heart it is clear that this kind of steed is really too talented to be a packhorse in their logistic battalion, he is just happy to see so many top quality steeds, his eyes cannot stand it, and he is not fighting for a handful of them, how can he not be willing, and now, after listening to Zhu Pingan’s words, he understands that there is no chance, and so he didn’t insist any more.
“My lord, this is the tent of master craftsman Ou Zhiguo.”Liu Dagang guided Zhu Pingan to a tent and introduced it to him.
The tent that Ou Zhiguo lived in was a battalion commander level tent, much wider and tidier, Zhu Pingan saw this scene, nodded his head in satisfaction, said “Very good, go, go in and take a look”, and took the lead to step into Ou Zhiguo’s tent.
“Herborist Ou Zhiguo meets Lord Zhu.”Ou Zhiguo had only met Zhu Pingan at the gate, and now seeing Zhu Pingan’s arrival, he was too busy to go forward and salute.
“Master Ou is exempt, no need to be formal, just treat it like your own home.”Before Zhu Pingan waited for Ou Zhiguo to bend over, he stepped forward to help Ou Zhiguo up.
“Master Ou, take a look at your daily life and what else is missing from the forge, feel free to ask, I will have someone send it.”
Zhu Pingan asked with concern.
“Thank you for your concern, your tent is so spacious and your living utensils are all complete, it’s already very good and favourable to us, we don’t lack anything for the time being.”
Ou Zhiguo was touched and said. Being valued so much, it was the first time he
