Even Tian Hailong only knew part of Chu Qing's plan.
This part of the plan made the generals' brains begin to congest.
From this moment on, they were more worried about Chu Qing than the people in Wangyuan City.
There is no other reason. Chu Qing gave too much!
After Ma Rujing wrote down everything, he was silent for a long time and asked an extremely critical question.
"I would like to ask you, if Chu Qing really has a problem, will those people, His Royal Highness King Langya, Tao Weiran, Squid, and Nangong Ping, leave the border?"
"meeting!"
"Why are you so sure?"
"These talents are all brought by Mr. Chu. When Mr. Chu first fell ill, everyone was still performing their duties, but until the night before, everyone put down their work and stayed outside the bedroom."
Xiao Zhi asked in confusion: "Even if something happened to Supervisor Chu, they have spent a lot of money and energy, why don't they stay? This has been Chu Qing's plan all along."
"Originally, I thought so too. These people are all Lord Chu's close friends. Logically speaking, this should be the case. But the night before, Tao Weiran said that if Lord Chu doesn't get better, he will forcefully take Lord Chu back with a carriage. In the capital, the last general suggested that if this was the case, we should take care of things as soon as possible. After all, the border conditions are so painful that it is not suitable to recuperate. It is better for Mr. Chu to return to the capital to recuperate first, while they stay and continue to do what they should do."
"What did Tao Weiran say?"
"Fatty Tao said, if Chu Qing is not here, there is no point in doing anything they do. In this world, there are too many rules and places that need to be changed. Wherever Mr. Chu goes, they will go. If Mr. Chu is not at the border, , No matter what they do, it will be a castle in the air, and without Mr. Chu, it will come to nothing sooner or later."
Ma Rujing asked with a complex expression: "What do other people say?"
"They were all silent, but it seemed to me that they all thought like Fatty Tao."
Looking at Ma Rujing, Tian Hailong said seriously: "Commander, what Fatty Tao said is absolutely true. Now the border changes are not because Mr. Chu does not hesitate to spend money, but because...because..."
After thinking about it, Tian Hailong said decisively: "Because he is Mr. Chu!"
Ma Rujing fell into silence again.
Yes, originally, everyone thought that the changes in Border Pass and Wangyuan City were due to Chu Qing's lack of money.
But this is not actually the case. The Sandao family, which used to always make things difficult for the border troops, now dares not to let out a single fart and hides in the mansion every day. I heard that many of the family's children have been sent away, and the head of the family has already written a suicide note. , just waiting for Qianqiying to raid the house.
In addition to the aristocratic families, the Ministry of War also did not send military reports from time to time like in the past, asking about border defense.
There was also the imperial court. Every January, officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs would come to the border to chat. The former asked about people's livelihood management, and the latter asked about money and food.
Now, I am here. I came here a few days ago. A doctor from the Ministry of Rites came. After he came, he gave money to the generals. He hoped that they would find Chu Qing to say something nice to these officials. After giving away the money, he gave it to Yazi. Just ran away.
Officials from the Ministry of Revenue also came, and did not ask where the money sent by the court was spent. An old man in his fifties or sixties, calling himself a disciple of Chu Jianzheng, warned the border troops to take good care of Chu Qing, otherwise the capital All colleagues in the Ministry of Revenue will kill them!
Even the local officials from Sandao were running to the border all day long. They could not see Chu Qing. They could only look for the generals, laugh with them, fawn over them, and ask the border officials what they needed. Wherever they encountered difficulties, they would just sell them and cut their waists. I also want to help solve it.
At first, the generals were still puzzled. Why did they change their attitude? As for them, they still had to cut their waists?
Those veteran officials in the officialdom replied with a wry smile, helping the frontier soldiers who were now protected by Chu Qing to solve the problem, but they only had no money, but if the problem was not solved, it would be easy to lose a household registration book.
It was only recently that Ma Rujing and the generals discovered something.
Bian Guan has really changed. Bian Jun no longer has to look at anyone's face. On the contrary, they originally needed to look at the faces of the people, but now they have to look at their faces. The reason is just because of two words---Chu Qing.
"This can't go on like this!"
Ma Rujing finally made up his mind and glanced at the more than ten generals in the tent.
"There hasn't been any disturbance in the grassland recently. Although the military affairs are heavy, there will be no mistakes. From tomorrow on, the generals and the commander will sit in Wangyuan City. What Tian Hailong just said is a top priority. , that damn Fatty Tao and the others are ignored, but we can't just watch indifferently. We can't delay the construction of houses, clearing forests, workshops, horse farms, etc. We will take over for the time being. After Chu Qing recovers from his illness, we will return the errands to them. .”
Upon hearing this, the generals were dumbfounded.
Tian Hailong grinned, feeling that Comrade Lao Ma has been a little drifting lately.
Ever since Chu Qing arrived at Wangyuan City, Aluo has been following Chu Qing like a follower every day. Even so, let alone the errands Chu Qing gave him, he often couldn't understand what Chu Qing said. It's hard to listen to all kinds of professional terms, such as sleeping in the grass, hiding in the sand, marrying your horse brother, let alone doing it.
Looking at the generals, Ma Rujing forced his face and said with a smile: "We are guarding the border. We have never seen anything like this. We are just managing people's livelihood. What's the difficulty? I will leave the job to you. How can we, veterans of the battlefield, Are they worse than a group of teenagers with hairless mouths?"
All the generals nodded.
Yes, we are really not as good as those hairless teenagers.
Ma Rujing continued to boost morale: "As long as the Chu family boy is in Wangyuan City for a day, the people's wages will still be paid. Tian Hailong also said just now, there is no need to worry about money, there are people, and we can still mobilize it. The frontier army, the right time, the right place, and the right people, we all occupy... Maybe, if we take over, we can do better than Chu Qing and others."
After finishing speaking, Ma Rujing suddenly felt that this was really the case.
Don't worry about the money, Tao Weiran distributes it on time. As for the people, seeing that there are so many people in Yuancheng, it's okay to mobilize some border troops.
Thinking of this, Ma Rujing suddenly had a damn desire to win, and grinned happily: "Okay, our frontier army will impress that Chu family boy and let him know that our frontier army is no better than these people from Beijing." The rich young master is much different."
Tian Hailong hesitated for a moment: "Commander, I feel that it is necessary to take over. Mr. Chu has long said that the border is our border. We cannot rely on him alone. If all the major The battalion general is willing to lend a helping hand, which is the best thing, but...it’s just a lot of work that even the junior general can’t understand.”
"It's a joke, why can't I understand it? It's not like I'm asking you to take the imperial examination." Ma Rujing showed a strong and trustworthy smile: "I have been both civil and military since I was a child, and I know everything about astronomy and geography. You are also fierce generals in the army. We are all people who are willing to be civilized and military. How can it be difficult for a trivial matter? Everyone can rest assured that if it cannot be done, I will be handsome..."
The sixteen generals in the tent shouted in unison: "Commander, be careful what you say!"
Ma Rujing was not embarrassed at all and laughed loudly: "What I said is that it can't be done. I write my last name backwards. You are really stupid."
The generals were all stunned, followed by a flood of flattery.
"The handsome and wise man!"
Tian Hailong glanced at Ma Rujing, who was not ashamed but proud, and was becoming more and more out of character, and sighed silently.
Just looking at your current state of not slipping away, I feel a little bit embarrassed.
In addition, Tian Hailong thinks that the great prophecy technique should not be triggered automatically, right?
