Chapter 61 Blame Tema's Wind
Liu San'er's appearance is undoubtedly a timely blessing for Shen Pei.
What a coincidence. Liu San'er was bringing a group of college students to escort the fine iron to the arsenal today. More than 20 carriages came. After unloading the fine iron, they happened to load the spurge there.
The camp was fully stocked with supplies and set off.
Taking advantage of this momentum, Shen Distribution directly moved out the remaining space. Training equipment and furniture tents from the craftsman's workshop, clothes and quilts from the weaving factory, etc., all supplies were purchased.
"Thank you so much, Third Young Master, for your help today. I really can't thank you enough!" Shen Pei said this with sincerity. He was just memorizing it, but when it was carried to the extreme, good luck would come. There were ups and downs, but that's all.
"Okay! Invite me to drink another day!" Liu San'er waved his hands indifferently, and a group of academy students turned around and drove away.
The judge stood and watched the students go away. Endless thoughts came to his mind: His Highness really has many caring and righteous people under his command. Such young students can help each other out of kindness, and such help is just a drink.
How chic!
However, what the judge did not expect was that the meal Liu San'er mentioned was ridiculously expensive!
After a bumpy journey, he finally got all the military supplies. Although he made mistakes, he was able to make up for it in time. Shen Pei was relieved, and then he turned around and walked towards the military camp of Camp Euphorbia.
As soon as he stepped into the camp, the judge was stunned immediately. Zhang He led five thousand soldiers to stand neatly, their formations were parallel, and they were full of energy.
Zhang He did have some skills in training troops. After some time of training, these five thousand recruits became more energetic and energetic than when they were in the recruit camp.
The judge was a little confused at the moment. He really didn't know what Zhang He was going to do. Just when the judge was confused and wanted to ask, Zhang He suddenly shouted: "Thank you, Lord Sima, for preparing the supplies. You have worked hard all the way!"
"Thank you, Lord Sima, for preparing the supplies. You have worked hard all the way!" Five thousand soldiers shouted in unison, with great momentum and momentum!
At this moment, Shen Pei's heart seemed to be touched by something. He unconsciously had the urge to cry. He was probably moved! Shen Pei also couldn't explain his emotions at this moment, looking at the faces of all the soldiers.
, those are cold and sincere faces.
Probably, this is the human touch of Bingzhou!
Shen Pei suddenly seemed to feel a strong wind, and tears actually flowed down.
Zhang He was extremely excited at the moment. He had been away for many days, but the military supplies were still not coming. Zhang He was anxious and worried. He was worried about military supplies and the safety of Hemp.
Shen Pei went to look for Xun You and others alone, but he left without leaving a word to Zhang He. Zhang He only found out the news after asking for more. A scholar took great pains and traveled hundreds of miles. How much courage does this take?
It would be easy for a martial artist to do this kind of thing, but it is different for a weak scholar, whose body and bones would definitely not be able to bear it.
Today, Zhang He saw the military supplies being transported to the military camp one after another. Zhang He's worried mood for many days finally relaxed. He seemed to be cheering and excited.
The military supplies have arrived, so Sima Shenpei has also returned, right? Lord Sima is really a capable person. Although it has been a little longer, the supplies are not bad. The five thousand soldiers are fully equipped, with all kinds of clothing, food and grass.
Great kindness!
It was with such excitement that Zhang He saw Shen Pei again, but he saw that Shen Pei was dusty with work, his face was thin, and his body was weak. At this moment, Zhang He understood that Shen Pei had put in so much effort to win the prize.
After getting the military supplies back, a feeling of admiration arose spontaneously.
"Lord Sima, why are you crying?" After all, Zhang He is a young man under twenty years old. He speaks straightforwardly and without thinking. To put it simply, he doesn't.
Emotional intelligence.
The always polite Shen Pei also had a strong urge to swear at this moment. He had been in contact with many Bingzhou officials and generals these days, and he had heard a lot of their verbal swearing. Now Zhang He said this embarrassing thing.
At the scene, he actually cursed, "Damn it! The wind must have blown the special horse so much that it caught my eye!"
Zhang He was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "It's all because of the strong wind in Tema!"
"Yes, it's all because of the strong wind in Tema!" Shen Pei echoed the previous sentence.
"Lord Sima, let's go, follow me into the camp quickly. The military supplies are all ready, and your worries are gone. Let's have three drinks!" Zhang He said and took the hand of Shen Pei.
Shen Pei suddenly broke away from Zhang He, wiped the tears from his face and said seriously: "How can you drink alcohol in this important place of the military camp?"
Zhang He was stunned again when he heard this. He smiled coquettishly. Zhang He still remembered the last time he made trouble while drinking.
"Tomorrow is a holiday, you have to treat me to a drink!" Shen Pei pointed at He's chest, and he laughed narrowly again.
Zhang He suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, tomorrow is scheduled for Mr. Sima to get drunk before resting."
"Don't call me Sir Sima, my name is Shen Pei, with the courtesy name Zhengnan!"
"Oh! I know that."
"Um?"
"I wonder if Lord Sima would show more respect by shouting!"
"But I'm still unfamiliar!"
"That's it, Judge Sima, I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow!"
"Great kindness!"
People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and Zhang He is in such a mood now. With the military supplies complete, the training of the soldiers of Euphorbia Camp can be officially put on the agenda. This is a very important thing for Zhang He.
What Zhang He fears most is to live up to Liu Bian's kindness. How important is the successful establishment of Euphorbia Camp? Maybe it is nothing to others, but to Zhang He it is everything to him.
On the holiday, Zhang He resolutely did not break his promise. He bought three jars of good wine with his own money, which cost Zhang He more than ten taels of silver.
When Zhang He first arrived in Bingzhou, there was still some time before his salary would be paid out. The money he spent now was all his savings, more than ten taels of silver, which was enough to make Zhang He feel hurt. But when he thought that this was to thank him for the review, Zhang He felt
I think it's worth it. After all, he is the commander of Euphorbia Camp and he is assigned as Sima. The two of them need to work together and work together to make Euphorbia Camp perfect day by day.
Zhang He also had this intention to take this opportunity of drinking to promote the relationship between the two of them. In the military tent, Zhang He and Shen Shen were drinking and sitting together, chatting and complimenting each other, and they were in harmony.
"Our Highness is really powerful. I saw those weapons yesterday, Huo! That dagger is quite sharp, and the forging technology is definitely up to par!" Zhang He gave a thumbs up with a look of admiration on his face.
"The scale of the arsenal is so huge that each battalion headquarters sends people to guard it every day in order to receive the quota of military supplies as soon as possible. We also have to send people there. The Euphorbia Battalion is newly established. Your Highness will take care of it.
, other battalion headquarters will let me wait, but remember not to be arrogant because of favors. We are newcomers with no connections and no achievements. If we offend others on these matters, the gain will outweigh the losses." Shen Pei warned.
"I took care of this, but there are not enough manpower in the camp. Tomorrow I will go with Coach Wang to ask for more people." Zhang He nodded in reply.
"Well!" Shen Pei drank a glass of wine. Zhang He seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Shen Pei with interest and asked: "Sima Shen, how do you think His Highness's brain grew? Why did he think of building a large-scale army?
What about the factory? I also heard that in addition to the arsenal factory, there are other workshops in Zhongyang City, with hundreds of thousands of workers. Zhongyang City is even more prosperous.
It’s time to catch up with Luoyang.”
"Have you been to Luoyang?"
"That's not it!"
"Then how do you know?"
"That's what I heard!"
"To say that the prosperity exceeds that of Luoyang is a bit flattering, but it's almost the same. I dare to conclude that His Highness is planning to develop industry and commerce in Bingzhou, and his plans are certainly not small."
"How not to be too small?"
"The picture is not small, the intention is for the world!"
"Huo! That's really His Highness. His ambition is so great that I can't match it!"
While Zhang He and Shen Pei were chatting, a man suddenly walked into the military tent. Before Zhang He and Shen Pei could react, the man spoke first and said, "It's a mistake for you to slander Master Bian in private.
The crime of disrespect is to seek death, right?"
The person who came was none other than Liu Bian's close minister, Xia Yun. He stepped forward and reached out and slapped Zhang He on the back of the head, causing Zhang He to stagger.
When a person is attacked, his anger level will increase.
When Zhang He was furious, he suddenly saw Xia Yun's old face with a narrow smile. Zhang He immediately changed his attitude and said with a smile: "Xia Changshi has wronged me. How can I dare to slander His Highness?
I am praising His Highness!"
"I'm sorry you don't dare!" Xia Yun glanced at Zhang He angrily. He turned to the judge and said, "A new transfer order has arrived, so go get it done as soon as you have time!"
Shen Pei quickly took the transfer order and said, "Thank you for your busy schedule. Xia Changshi is here."
"We work for His Highness, so there is no need for this." After all, Xia Yun is an old man next to Liu Bian. His official position is not high, but he has great power. The officials and generals of Bingzhou are more respectful to him. But under Liu Bian,
It is forbidden to be arrogant based on favor. After experiencing what happened in Luoyang, Xia Yun has opened up a lot of things. Unless necessary for government affairs, Xia Yun usually hardly even leaves the gate of Bingzhou Palace. He is a low-key person.
He refused many things, even ordinary social interactions, if he could.
He An had the biggest objection to Xia Yun's sudden change in behavior. After all, he couldn't afford to eat and drink casually, and he would suffer huge losses!
"Five thousand halberds, eight feet long, how could they be made so quickly?" The judge only glanced at the order, and then he showed a look of extreme shock.
Weapon making is complicated and cumbersome. It takes a long time to make an exquisite weapon. It has to be repeatedly hammered and refined by the blacksmith. For example, it takes at least five or six days for a blacksmith to make a halberd to reach the level of the Euphorbia Camp.
request. And how long has it been since Liu Bian ordered the establishment of the Euphorbia Camp? Less than half a month, excluding the delays in various trivial matters. After all, the arsenal has not produced halberds before. This is the first time.
Production, mobilization of fine iron, personnel arrangements, modeling and forging, etc. all require a lot of time.
Xia Yun seemed to be very satisfied with the reviewer's surprise. He couldn't help but smile and said: "This is already quite slow. There are more than 2,000 formal blacksmiths registered in the arsenal alone, and more than 10,000 apprentices.
With such a scale, only five thousand halberds are nothing. The difficulty is the large halberd that is twelve feet long. The longer the iron tool is, the easier it is to crack. The tempering process is very complicated and takes some time."
Hearing Xia Yun's explanation, both Zhang He and Shen Pei showed expressions of surprise and admiration.
Under the rule of His Highness, the scale of military equipment has become so terrifying!
"Huh? Are you drinking? I haven't drank for a few days, let me have a try!" Xia Yun ignored the reactions of Zhang He and Shen Ping. He poured a glass of wine to drink, but the wine had just entered his mouth.
He spit it out all at once and said with an unhappy expression: "What kind of wine is this? Why does it taste so bad?"
"This..." The judge looked puzzled, and Zhang He even looked shy.
Chapter completed!
