After saying that, he whispered: "It's just that my legs hurt a lot sometimes!"
Liu Haojia sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it! But I see that Eunuch Zhang's face is rosy, and he should be living a very comfortable life!"
When Zhang Jia heard this, his face fell and he said, "Forget it! Mr. Liu, when will your plan start to be implemented? Long Live Master is already extremely anxious! He hasn't seen a penny in more than half a year. The palace’s expenses are no longer enough, and now we are resting on our laurels! Even our family is being blamed!”
Liu Haojia said with a smile: "Don't worry, father-in-law, if you keep persisting, it can take as long as five months or as short as three months, and you will definitely get a lot of money!"
Zhang Jia could only shake his head helplessly when he heard this. Liu Haojia whispered, "Eunuch Zhang, I asked you to find someone you can trust, have you found one?"
Zhang Jia whispered: "Found them! There are three of them. Our family has investigated them and they are all honest and responsible children! And one of them has been adopted into our family's name!"
Liu Haojia patted his arm and said, "Nacheng, let them come to me later!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "I understand. But let's hurry up and go to the palace! I think Long Live the Lord is already waiting impatiently!"
When Liu Haojia followed Zhang Jia into the palace, he unexpectedly found Emperor Wanli standing in front of the palace door to greet him! This made him so excited that he hurriedly paid homage at the foot of the steps! After Emperor Wanli called him, he walked up the steps and bowed and said, "I have returned with my people in accordance with the instructions of Lord Wan live!"
Emperor Wanli said: "I have worked hard for you, my dear, during this time! I watched you going south and north in the memorial, and my heart was also hung up! Fortunately, my dear, you are back safely!"
Liu Haojia cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Long Live, for your love. I am very grateful!"
Then Emperor Wanli brought Liu Haojia into the palace. After the two of them sat down, they said, "My dear, tell me in detail what you have done? Those memorials can only show a general outline. Many things are like seeing flowers in the fog." Usually you can’t see clearly!”
In desperation, Liu Haojia could only start from the beginning. He knew that Emperor Wanli especially liked to hear stories about wars, so he focused his story on the battles. He even told the story of being ambushed in a very ups and downs, and the expressions of the master and servant of Emperor Wanli were constantly changing following his words!
When he heard Liu Haojia training his troops, Emperor Wanli interrupted and said, "Liu Aiqing, are the soldiers you brought this time trained in Tianjin? Can they be considered an army?"
Liu Haojia said: "Don't worry, Long Live Lord, it is definitely available! Well, let me tell you this, when I got rid of Cui Junyong, I selected some trustworthy people as the main force!"
Emperor Wanli immediately became excited after hearing this. He stood up and said, "Liu Aiqing, let me tell you the rest slowly. I will change my clothes and go out of the palace with you to see them!"
In fact, Liu Haojia had this plan for a long time, but seeing that Emperor Wanli was interested, he had no choice but to advance the plan. So he simply said: "Long live my lord, don't worry, the soldiers we just trained are definitely elite soldiers and can be tested at any time!"
After hearing this, Emperor Wanli happily waved his hand to help him change clothes. He hurriedly called someone from outside the door to come back and change Emperor Wanli's clothes, while he ran out to arrange for guards.
After a while, Emperor Wanli put on the clothes of a noble prince again and left the palace gate under the protection of his guards. Along the way, he complained about the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp countless times. It seems that during the time Liu Haojia left, the little emperor also made a lot of effort to inquire about these things.
When a group of people arrived at the small teaching ground in the west of the city, Emperor Wanli opened his eyes in surprise! Because he had visited here when Jingshi Bank opened. At that time, this place was really just a dilapidated school ground, and Jingshi Bank was also pitifully simple!
But now it is completely different. The original humble facade of Jingshi Bank has been renovated, and now it is a facade with three doors! The whole door is decorated with cornices and brackets, which is extremely gorgeous! The few copper nails on the red painted door were polished and shined brightly in the sun!
Moreover, Emperor Wanli also saw people coming in and out of the three gates from time to time. All the people coming in and out of the middle gate are officials. Even if they are wearing casual clothes, the aura of officials cannot be concealed! Left side access
The ones on the right are all officials and merchants at all levels, while the door on the right is for ordinary people and small traders.
This is not Liu Haojia's purpose to distinguish the levels of personnel, but purely to improve work efficiency and service attitude. But the results are very good, making people who feel they have status feel that they are greatly respected!
In addition, the fence of the school grounds has also been renovated. All the damaged areas have been repaired, and the outer walls have been sealed with mud. It is very grand and tidy! The turrets at the four corners and the arrow towers on the city wall have also been repaired, and the figures of patrolling soldiers can be vaguely seen shaking on them. As for the camp gate that had disappeared, it was also replaced with a new one. The thick wooden board was stretched with iron bars, which was very strong!
Liu Haojia knew from Emperor Wanli's expression that he had been here once and never again. But this naturally cannot be broken. So Liu Haojia walked to the camp gate first, showed his waist badge, and asked the soldiers to open the camp gate to welcome Emperor Wanli and others in.
After entering the door, Emperor Wanli looked around curiously and saw many trees planted against the wall of the school grounds, including old trees with lush branches and new seedlings with only a dozen branches. There are many soldiers resting below. There are also people exercising on some strange-shaped equipment, and some people get together to wrestle and compete, and do whatever. It seems that it should be rest time.
Emperor Wanli looked at it with a disappointed look on his face. This was not the same as the military camp he imagined! However, his thoughts were still seen by Liu Haojia, so he whispered: "Long live Lord, it should be the rest time for the soldiers, but I will let you see something fresh right away!"
Emperor Wanli heard this and said with great interest: "What are you looking at?"
Liu Haojia said: "To test whether an army is elite, just watch their emergency gathering! I will conduct an emergency gathering in a while, but I still have to trouble Eunuch Zhang to count and see how long it will take to complete it?"
Emperor Wanli nodded happily and signaled Liu Haojia to hurry up. With Emperor Wanli's permission, they went directly to the Dianjiang Platform. After everyone stood still, Liu Haojia said to the officer on duty: "Bang the drum!"
The officer waved his hand, and the drummer who had been standing aside immediately started beating the drum hard! As the drums sounded, the originally quiet school grounds immediately became excited!
