The entire court was in a mess because of this little selfishness of Servant Xiao. However, these disturbances didn't spread much to Jing Shao's military camp, because he was going to leave for the army in a few days, and the camp was busy organizing its internal affairs.
The court because the case is not finished investigating, the first confiscation of the family property of that group of officials are only small minions, can not plug the gap in the army, Hongzheng Emperor and let the treasury to allocate another silver to fill the military vacancies.
The army's account suddenly has a lot of surplus money, someone needs to take over and reorganize in a hurry, but Mu Hanzhang is only the military priest, has no power to manage these.
Zhao Meng proposed Jing Shao to promote him to the military division general, Mu Huanzhang excuses that he has just entered the military camp, can not be this position. Finally compromise, sealed a military division general. Although it is the military division of the general, can manage military affairs can not command the military division, but now there is no other strategist in the army, the power given by this position has been enough.
The Ministry of households now have no time to send a new clerk to, Mu Hanzhang will promote a few literate soldiers as a clerk. A few days ago he asked clearly, those clerks are arrogant, soldiers are mostly looking for familiar people to write, he will be mentioned in those names one by one, now all called to the tent, out of a few topics for them to write, and finally left eight literate at the same time will be able to calculate the accounts.
"Do you understand the accounts that each of you is responsible for?" Mu Hanzhang put away the accounts in his book and asked the eight people under the stage. The accounts in the army were relatively simple, he had chosen a good and relatively detailed way of keeping accounts, and after teaching them for a whole day, he thought that they must have all learned almost everything.
"Understood!" The eight replied in a neutral voice.
"The military division taught this so well, illiterate can learn." Wang Er smiled and said, when the first carry rice to see the military division, but also think that this person is a flower show, in the army is not very useful, but now, but a few days, this Mr. Jun in the army has been a high reputation, and transfer him to do the clerk, you do not have to do that carry rice and burn the fire of the hard work, he is a hundred willing.
Mu Hanyang nodded slightly, "At the end of every ten days will be handed over to me to check the account book, what do not understand are also in that day to ask me, weekdays if it is not critical or matters of importance, do not have to come to ask, you can take their own ideas."
Several people heard the words, they are all happy, so, not only to avoid a lot of trouble, this little bit of small power can also bring a lot of benefits.
"However, the ugly words in front, if you dare to embezzle the military pay or the matter is important and hide not to report, all military justice, never mercy!" Mu Hanzhang cold face, said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Several people were busy saluting and answering yes, they couldn't afford to throw away this good job, naturally they wouldn't lose their heads for some small benefits.
When those people dispersed, Mu Hanzhang rubbed his brow with some fatigue, the expedition is imminent, the army has to deal with a lot of things, and these days there is no clerk, the accounts are confusing and very troublesome, he yesterday sorted out the accounts for a day to straighten them out.
"Is your son tired?" Yun Song came in to deliver the tea and couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw Mu Hanzhang showing his fatigue.
"There's no harm in it," Mu Hanzhang shook his head and handed a piece of paper to Yun Song, "These things, you go back to the royal residence tomorrow to fetch as much as you can."
"Yes." Yun Song put the piece of paper into his arms and retreated when he saw that Mu Hanzhang still had things to attend to.
"Yun Song," Jing Shao, who had returned from practicing, called out to his own boy, "You go to the other courtyard tomorrow and tell Ren Feng to bring all the people I want."
"Yes," Yun Song hesitated, "but Gongzi explained that I will return to the mansion tomorrow to pick up my things."
"In that case," Jing Shao mused for a moment, "then go fetch your things, and go to the other house the day after tomorrow."
"Yes," Yun Song responded, secretly saying that in the king's heart indeed the wangfei's affairs were more important than his own, so he said one more sentence, "Those newly selected clerks have already gone back, and the duke looks as if he is a bit tired."
Jing Shao sniffed, frowned, lifted the curtain and walked in, and saw that his own princess was still busy in front of the case.
"Why aren't you done yet?" Jing Shao walked over and wrapped the person into his arms.
Mu Hanzhang struggled, "Wait, I'll finish this." After saying that, he wrote a few more lines on the booklet before putting down the pen, rubbing his sore shoulders, glancing at the broad chest behind him, and couldn't help but lean on it.
Jing Shao hooked his lips, touched the person in his arms to show his tired face, and hugged him upwards so that he could lean comfortably, "The accounts are not all apportioned down, why are you still busy?"
"The soldiers in the army will send letters out every month, but these family letters will probably be used to deliver messages, even some of them are unintentional," Mu Hanzhang took a letter and showed it to him, it said that in the army camp on the outskirts of the capital, the food has gotten better in the last couple of days, and that they even ate beef, "If the enemy reads these contents, they will know the location of the army, and also find out the source of some special ingredients, which is dangerous."
Jing Shao nodded, the military letters will be more than a person to check before sending them out, but it is always inevitable that there will be omissions, things like beef will not usually be noticed.
"I wrote letters to review the charter, and listed all the ones that can't be written in, you see what else you want to add, write it all together, and turn around and have them transcribe it a few times and send it to the clerk." Mu Hanzhang just wrote the copy of the charter handed to him.
Jing Shao took the charter but did not read it, only looking down at the person in his arms.
"What's wrong?" Muhan Zhang looked at him in disbelief.
"I'm wondering what kind of blessings I accumulated in my last life that I could get you to accompany me." Jing Shao looked at him, without a hint of teasing in his eyes, he was seriously wondering what he had done in his last life that the heavens had treated him so favorably and allowed him to live again.
Mu Hanzhang looked at his serious eyes and slowly hooked his lips, "To be able to get a good man like you, I am the one who is blessed with deep fortune."
The two looked deeply at each other, and could see the other's cherishing and love from each other's eyes, and couldn't help but slowly move closer and gently kissed each other's lips.
"Warlord!" Zhao Meng violently lifted the curtain and called out in a loud voice before he even entered.
The two people who had just made contact panicked and separated, Mu Hanzhang sat up straight and looked down at the account book on the table, while Jing Shao gritted his teeth and stared at Zhao Meng.
"Your Highness is also here!" General Zhao raised his head in greeting and sat down on the chair next to him with a big grin.
"General how did you run so fast and didn't wait for me!" The right guard noisily ran in as well, followed by the left guard with calm footsteps.
"You guys came over at this hour, but what is it?" Mu Hanzhang put down the wolf brush he was pretending to hold in his hand and looked up at the three.
Zhao Meng stroked his bushy beard and winked at the Right Guard, "Speak!"
"Ah, we discussed that the days in the army have suddenly gotten better in the past two days, so we want to purchase some new things ...... What are you yanking me for?" The Right Guard was talking in a lively manner when he was suddenly yanked by the Left Guard.
"Hey, why are you so long-winded," Zhao Meng said in dissatisfaction, "It's better for me to say that it's really inconvenient for the military division to stay in the king's tent with the king all the time, and now that there's money in the accounts, we have to hurry up to buy the military division a better camp." General Zhao felt that the military division was now in charge of his own accounts and must be too embarrassed to offer to spend money on himself, so he pulled his left and right guards to persuade him.
Jing Shao heard, immediately alarm bells ringing, now live together are a few days can not eat mouth, if then separate sleep is not worse! The mood of the original was disturbed the pleasure of the mood suddenly became more bad, cold voice: "The military division will not martial arts, if there is an assassin will not have no power to fight back? This king thinks that living in the king's tent is quite good."
"Where can there be any assassins in the barracks, moreover, even if there are assassins, they are assassinating the king, which have killed the military division, if I say live in the king's tent before ...... Aiyo, what are you pinching me for!" The right guard said half, was the left guard violently pinched the waist nest, can not help but turn his head to yell.
"Tent since is to be equipped, since ancient times there is no military division to live in the king's tent," Mu Hanyang glanced at Jing Shao obviously become iron face, can not help but smile, "but three days after the departure, now then set up tents also have to other tents to move place, it does not pay for it, and so on the way of the march and then add it. "
When Jing Shao heard this, his face only got a little better, waving his hand to drive away the three people who had nothing to do with messing around with their ideas.
"Junqing, do we really need to build another tent?" When the crowd had left, Jing Shao reluctantly hugged his own princess.
"I'm your military advisor now, not the crown princess, if you don't want to be criticized, you still need to do enough on the surface." Mu Hanzhang patted the head on his shoulder.
"Then won't we have to sleep separately!" Jing Shao protested in dissatisfaction.
"Well," Mu Hanzhang nodded, looking at Jing Shao's crying face, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheeks, "However, Your Highness can go to my minister's tent at night to discuss the military situation."
"Right, why didn't I think of that!" Jing Shao sniffed and couldn't help but brighten up, pulling Mu Hanzhang up, "Come on, let's go back to the king's tent and explore for a while!"
The next day, Yun Song went back to the royal residence, will Mu Hanzhang want one by one to find all the things brought over.
There were quite a lot of things, but they were all small objects, so it didn't take much work. Curious, Jing Shao peered over and saw a jasper xiao at a glance.
"Jun Qing, you know how to play the xiao!" This thing hadn't seen him use it before, Jing Shao was a little curious as he held the blowjob and looked back and forth, the body was turquoise and warm in his hands.
"Learned when I was young, the zither is too heavy, marching in the way, but this xiao can be carried around," Mu Hanzhang explained, "if the road is short of money, you can also pawn it."
Jing Shao play jade xiao hand paused, literati not all very cherish their own qin xiao? Why is my own princess so special ......
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the expedition, and the generals were glowing and ready to go early in the morning. They were the elite in the hands of the king, and the rest of the army would be rushing to the southwest one after another from all over the country, and would finally converge at the border of the southwestern fiefdom at a distance of three hundred miles.
Yun Song said goodbye to the Mu Han Zhang back to the King's House, originally thought that after those daily chores have to personally do, but did not expect Jing Shao actually brought him a maiden, and this maiden is not someone else, it is followed by the ghost of nine knives to learn a few months of concealed weapons Ge Ruoyi!
