The statistical work is tedious and complicated. The main reason is that there are too many troops and horses to launch the Northern Expedition this time. Naturally, they cannot move quickly. Moreover, these troops and horses do not arrive in one day, but arrive in batches. This is for the Ministry of War. Statistical work caused delays.
Originally, this job was not Luo Zhang's business, but Li Ji insisted on asking him to come, saying that he was familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of War.
Luo Zhang even wanted to point his finger at Li Ji and scold him. Is this statistician also familiar with affairs? Anyone who has read some books can make statistics. Asking him to come here would be overkill.
But he couldn't help it. The official level was overwhelming. The other people's officials were higher than him, so he could only listen. Fortunately, he didn't need to do everything himself. There were people below to do it. He only needed to check the people's health. Quantity is sufficient.
In this way, three days passed by in a flash, and Luo Zhang finally completed the statistics of men and horses.
After handing in the job, Luo Zhang naturally had his own affairs to be busy with. After being delayed for so many days, he didn't go to the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty to see the situation. He didn't know how the training of the new army he had just recruited was going.
When Luo Zhang rode his horse to the dock, he heard shouts and saw many people standing on the warships above the river. These people gathered around the deck and seemed to be looking at something.
When Luo Zhang got closer, he saw that on top of the warship, it seemed that veterans were talking to the new recruits about how to control the warship. They were talking in detail and seriously, and the people listening were also attentive and understood the essentials.
Seeing this, Luo Zhang nodded with satisfaction.
On the river, heads were rising and falling in the river, and beside these heads were small boats. Standing on the small boats were some veterans, shouting instructions and telling the new recruits who were learning to tread water in the river. How to tread water most effectively and with the least effort.
"Yes, it seems that Master Sun Ren and Du Shuang are not lazy, and the training is still very effective!" Luo Zhang looked at all this and said with a smile.
"How dare they be lazy? If they are lazy, they will be laughed to death by Liu Rengui. Liu Rengui went south before them. If their recruits cannot be trained, they will have no chance to go to sea, let alone go south. Your move is really good!" Wu Shaobin! commented on the side.
"My uncle, you don't understand this. This is called competition. Only in this way can we stimulate their enthusiasm!" Luo Zhang said with a playful smile.
"I really don't understand, but I know it's useful!" Wu Shaobin replied.
Seeing that the training was quite effective, Luo Zhang did not go to the military camp to disturb Liu Renyuan's plan. Instead, he rode back to Chang'an. After so many days of busy work, Luo Zhang no longer knew the taste of meat.
As soon as he returned to Chang'an, Luo Zhang changed the carriage and asked Wu Shaobin to go back first. Wu Shaobin knew this well and didn't say much. He just told Luo Zhang to go back as soon as possible.
Luo Zhang smiled helplessly. This matter could not be hidden from anyone. I am afraid that His Majesty had known about it for a long time and just turned a blind eye. After all, Princess Changle ran away every two days, and where she went Luo Zhang also Just run away, it's weird if nothing happens.
It was still that small courtyard, and it was still that beautiful figure. After seeing that beautiful figure, Luo Zhang felt that the fatigue of the past few days had been wiped away, and his mood improved a lot.
The two of them didn't do anything, but sat in the yard drinking tea and chatting, as if they had endless things to say. Most of them were Chang Le talking and Luo Zhang listening. What they said was not a big deal. It was some daily trivial matters, but Luo Zhang listened to them with great interest.
Perhaps in this way we can better understand a person, her life, and her habits!
In Luo Zhang's view, Changle has long been his family, and it is a very happy thing to accompany his family. Luo Zhang still owes Changle a little in his heart. Until now, he has not been able to give Changle a status, and he still has to be secretive. It's really a bit unfair for a princess.
Fortunately, Changle doesn't care about this. What she cares about is that Luo Zhang's heart for her has not changed.
The joy of fish and water, the harmony of water and milk, emotions also need lubricants. Only by being honest with each other can the hearts be closer together.
After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Luo Zhang hugged Chang Le and talked about what happened to him in the past few days. Naturally, he was dissatisfied with Li Ji. However, Luo Zhang said it in a joking tone, and Chang Le couldn't stop laughing. Seeing that sweet laughter, Luo Zhang felt that everything was worth it.
This time, Tubo took advantage of the opportunity of the Turks to attack Xue Yantuo and also took the opportunity to sneak attack on Xue Yantuo and gained a lot of benefits. This made Luo Zhang curse Lu Dongzan. If Lu Dongzan had not facilitated this matter, Tubo would have been There was already a turmoil inside.
After this sneak attack, Tubo could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The people would naturally not make trouble if they had surplus food. This hindered Luo Zhang's previous plan to some extent.
According to Luo Zhang's previous thoughts, some people in Tubo should have started to rebel at this time. After all, there was no food to eat. What could they do if they didn't rebel?
The direct consequence of the rebellion is that the big landowners and high priests can no longer hold their positions, which will cause Tubo to fall apart and begin to disintegrate. Even if Lu Dongzan is afraid, he will not be able to recover by then. In this way, there will be no need for the Tang Dynasty Raising troops to attack, fearing that Tubo would disappear, Luo Zhang would have fulfilled His Majesty's agreement and be able to marry Changle and go home.
But things are not always so smooth sailing. Now that Tubo is once again stable, he can only slowly try to make it happen, and the matter of marrying Chang Le back home can only be delayed again.
Luo Zhang talked to Chang Le about this matter, and Chang Le did not ask for anything. He only told Luo Zhang not to be too tired for this matter, which made Luo Zhang feel pity for Chang Le.
It was not until the afternoon that Luo Zhangcai broke up with Changle and left the small courtyard. Before Luo Zhangcai's carriage could leave, he was blocked by a group of Jinwu guards. Luo Zhang poked his head out of the carriage and saw Eunuch Huang smiling. He walked out of the sedan and looked at Luo Zhang.
Seeing Eunuch Huang, Luo Zhang's face turned bitter. He knew that His Majesty was afraid that he had already known about his affair with Changle. Being blocked by Eunuch Huang here today proved what he was thinking. He just didn't know what Eunuch Huang wanted to do with him. Could it be that he came to hold him accountable for his affair with Chang Le?
Not daring to be negligent, Luo Zhang hurriedly walked out of the carriage, came to Eunuch Huang, bowed and saluted: "I didn't know Eunuch Huang was here, Luo Zhang was abrupt!"
"Okay, why are you being polite to me? Let's go. Your Majesty asked me to invite you to the palace. I have something to tell you!" Eunuch Huang said concisely and concisely.
Luo Zhang raised his eyebrows. His Majesty wanted to tell him something. Could it be that he was really talking about Changle? This made Luo Zhang feel uneasy. After all, he secretly ate his daughter and kept eating it for so long. As a father, If you don't get angry, there will be ghosts.
Seeing Luo Zhang's look, Eunuch Huang was a little amused. He shook his head slightly and said, "It's not what you think. You will know it when you enter the palace!"
Hearing Eunuch Huang's words, Luo Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't Changle's business, what else could it be?
When Luo Zhang arrived at the palace, he found that the place he went to was not the familiar Imperial Study Room, but on a hill behind the Imperial Study Room. This was a man-made mountain forest with some rare birds and animals in it. It was usually for Li Shimin. It's for viewing, but most of the time, Li Shimin doesn't come here, and he doesn't know what he is doing here today.
Outside the hill, Li Shimin was sitting on a stone chair drinking tea. When he saw Luo Zhang coming, he just glanced at him and ignored him.
Of course, Luo Zhang couldn't let Li Shimin come to greet him, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward to greet him and said, "See your majesty!"
"Okay, let's sit down, drink a glass of water, and take a look at something!" Li Shimin raised his hand and motioned for Luo Zhang to sit down.
Luo Zhang was confused. He didn't know what His Majesty wanted to show him. After Luo Zhang drank a cup of tea, he saw a Jin Wu guard wearing golden armor walking over. He was holding a box in his hand and placed it in front of Luo Zhang. on the table.
"Let's take a look!" Li Shimin said lightly.
Luo Zhang reached out and opened the box in front of him and almost sat down on the ground. What His Majesty showed him was actually a strange thing in the shape of three wooden sticks with a ball on top.
But it was this weird thing that made Luo Zhang so frightened that he even swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
If nothing else, he is too familiar with this thing. In later TV series, we often see our army using this thing. This thing is called a grenade!
Let me choke, who is this? Who is this? He actually made a grenade. There really is a time traveler who came here with me on this horse.
