Li Yuan will turn 60 in three months. This is great news that Li Jing told Xu Yunyan.
In ancient times, emperors usually gave gifts to officials with status and status in various places on such a major festival. Euphemistically called birthday wishes.
This time, Li Jing was afraid that he would lose etiquette, so he asked himself to donate his movable type printing technology, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But when Xu Yunyan heard this, the corner of her mouth cracked.
"In addition to this movable type printing, I have other projects. The first thing I have to do after returning to Yancheng is to dry sea salt. If this plan of drying sea salt can also work, it will be another great achievement. Wait until I give it to Li Yuan When giving a gift, should it be sea salt or movable type printing? Or both, let’s see the final result.”
Thinking of happy things, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but laugh here, and Li Jing looked at Xu Yunyan who was smiling here and thought again.
"Don't think too happily. This movable type printing may cause an uproar after being presented."
This was like a slap in the face to Xu Yunyan. He had just said that dedicating this movable type printing might offend many people. Now Li Jing was here to remind himself again.
Li Jing is indeed very thoughtful, but you have been very thoughtful about this matter. Why do you basically have no say in other matters in the court?
However, having been reminded here, Xu Yunyan was not a fool and easily understood what Li Jing meant.
After giving a respectful junior salute to Li Jing again, Xu Yunyan said again, "What's next for the soldiers trained by Master? Although I will return to Yancheng, Chuzhou soon, the training of these soldiers has not been completed yet."
Li Jing sighed, "I also know that the training of these soldiers has not been completed, but now that His Majesty has ordered the training of soldiers, we can no longer train here. But on the way back, I also understand the training methods you mentioned. I will Teach them.”
Xu Yunyan would not distrust Li Jing, and he also knew that Li Jing would not take credit for his own achievements. He just did not want this powerful army that was taking shape to be buried.
After everything was arranged, there really wasn't anything left to do here.
Xu Yunyan here respectfully worshiped Li Jing as he returned with his army. When he turned around and saw Chuzhou's newly appointed Captain Pan of Zhechong Prefecture, he was still there leading the team waiting for him. Xu Yunyan couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Master Pan, why is this happening? The war has been resolved. Why not take the soldiers back to Zhechong Mansion to disperse and let them go home to rest? Why are you still here?"
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, the newly appointed Deputy Lieutenant Pan hurriedly handed over his hand, "What did Master Xu say? Didn't I become the captain of the Zhechong Mansion after following Master Xu and receiving military exploits? I owe everything to Master Xu." Fu, I have to go back with Master Xu and listen to Master Xu’s teachings. I wonder what Master Xu wants?”
As the saying goes, you can't hit someone with a smiling face. What's more, he settled in Zhaojia Village, Wanghai Township, Yancheng, Chuzhou. This Master Pan is the most powerful person in Zhechong Mansion in Chuzhou, and he and he are both fifth-rank officials.
It's just that this fifth-rank official is a real fifth-rank official, which is two levels higher than his fifth-rank official.
Although he has one less title than himself, to be honest, he should salute him himself instead of this person saluting him.
"Master Pan is so polite. How dare you trouble Master Pan to say this? Now Master Pan is my superior officer. Since the superior officer has a request, Xiaguan must carry out what Master Pan said. Does this sound good to Master Pan?"
When Xu Yunyan said this, Lord Pan hurriedly waved his hands in fright, "How did this happen? How did this happen? Lord Xu is also a lord after all."
After Master Pan finished speaking, he turned to look at the Zhechong Mansion army behind him. More than half of the army commanders and brigade marshals here were Xu Yunyan's men. Even if he became the captain of Zhechong Mansion, what big mistake would he make? How could it be possible to replace these people, not to mention that Mr. Xu silently accepted Li Jing as his disciple? This is the nerve of the Tang Army. If he really offended Xu Yunyan, he would not be saved from death?
After the army returned, they did not go to live in the nearby county town as Xu Yunyan thought. Instead, they disbanded on the spot according to someone's style, letting the soldiers go back to their homes and do whatever they needed to do. This made Xu Yunyan Not expected.
After disbanding the nearby soldiers and letting them return to their hometowns, Xu Yunyan, the newly appointed Master Pan of Zhechong Mansion, and the remaining less than 300 people walked slowly towards Chuzhou. Master Pan kept greetings and greetings along the way. .
Mr. Pan was so kind that Xu Yunyan was a little overwhelmed. However, just as Mr. Pan kept asking after him, among the less than 300 people following him, those who were against the commander-in-chief and so on were still here. He is more polite than Master Pan.
When setting up camp, they rush to help Xu Yunyan set up camp, and when hunting, they leave the best to Xu Yunyan, which gives Xu Yunyan a bit more face.
The soldiers were like this, and Lord Pan was even more cautious here. He was afraid that Xu Yunyan would be unhappy one day and that he would no longer be the captain of the Zhechong Mansion.
But just as this group of people quickly returned to Chuzhou, a group of robbers appeared in the Chuzhou boundary, where everything was peaceful.
"Master, the Tang Army won't let us live, and we won't make it easy for them. They actually came to raid the master's yard. Should we find a way to retaliate against them?
There are only a thousand people in this camp now. Which of us brothers is not delicious and well-served by Master Liu? There is no problem if one is worth ten, let's attack them? "
Sitting in the main seat, the robber who was called the leader was actually Liu Ziming's dog-headed military advisor. He couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw his subordinate saying this.
"Did your head get caught in the door? We used to say that one is worth ten just to be nice. Now you can try it for me and see if you can beat one of the people in Zhe Chong Mansion by yourself. If you can If I can beat them, I’ll write my name upside down.”
The head of this family said that he could not defeat the soldiers of Zhe Chong Mansion, so why did this little brother feel so embarrassed?
Then he looked at his boss in embarrassment and said, "What are we going to do, boss? There is no place to eat now. Are we just waiting here? There is no food and grass on this mountain."
"Why are you so stupid?"
Seeing his younger brother being so ignorant, the leader couldn't help but said, "We won't grab anything if there's nothing to eat. We don't dare to go to Zhechong Mansion camp. Don't we dare to go to ordinary villages?"
