Taikang Tianzi has been preparing for the Northern Expedition for more than three years, and today, this "project" has finally begun to operate.

The next day, the Ordnance Superintendent delivered 20,000 pairs of armor customized by the Ministry of War, as well as arrows, long knives, etc., to the Ministry of War.

To be exact, it was delivered to the Yulinwei Right Battalion, and the Yulinwei Right Battalion led by Xie Dai counted these things one by one, loaded a full twenty or thirty carts, and then drove to the gate of Jing'an Hou's Mansion.

There is no way, since these things have been delivered, they should have been sent to the military department, and then the people from the military department were responsible for distributing them to the local army, but this matter skipped the yamen of the military department from beginning to end, so these things could only be sent to the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Even if Li Xin's family was big enough, he couldn't let these carts into his house, so Li Xin instructed them to park the carriages on the street behind the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, and then he, together with Zhao Jia, went to confiscate the ordnance in person.

There were 20,000 sets of swords and armor, neatly stacked in carriages.

These things are not simple armor and long knives, in fact, everything in them is a forbidden item expressly prohibited by the imperial court.

Because a set of swords and armor can represent a combat power, any ordinary person, wearing this armor and carrying a long knife, will become a terrible killing god when he walks into the crowd, and a few knives at will will be a human life.

The Great Jin Dynasty banned swords and swords, there were many folk swords, but there were very few swords, and even if there were, most of them were related to the court.

Li Xin took out a long knife from a big cart, and after pulling out the scabbard casually, he saw the snow-white blade and the cold shining blade.

In order to prevent rust, a layer of oil was also smeared on the knife.

The Marquis of Jing'an knocked it with his hand, the long knife in his hand was loud, and he said with a smile to Zhao Jia behind him: "The things of this weapon prison are really not bad, the people's sword weapons are slashed by this kind of knife, even if they keep hurting." ”

Zhao Jia was still dressed in white, he took the long knife from Li Xin's hand, then found a tree on the side of the road and cut it down hard.

The long knife entered the wood half a foot, and the blade was almost completely submerged, Zhao Jia laboriously pulled the knife out of the tree, nodded at Li Xin and smiled: "It's good, I don't know how much better than the weapons of Hanzhou Mansion." ”

Marquis Jing'an glanced at Zhao Jia with an unkind expression, and said faintly: "Brother You'an, this is the door of the back door of my house. ”

Zhao Jia was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I know." ”

"So you just cut down the tree......"

"It's my family."

Zhao Jia glanced at the unlucky tree and said with a smile: "It's so stingy, tomorrow I will go to the street to buy some saplings and plant ten more for you." ”

When the two of them were talking and laughing, Xie Dai, who was dressed in black by Yu Linwei, appeared in front of Li Xin, and he said respectfully: "Li Shangshu, the 20,000 sets of swords and armor required by the Ministry of War, 50,000 arrows, etc., have been delivered by the Ordnance Supervisor, and the lower official and Yu Linwei's brother have been counted, please check it by Lord Hou." ”

Li Xin smiled and nodded at Xie Dai: "Hard work Xie Lang will be." ”

Xie Dai's face changed slightly, and he bowed his head respectfully: "The lower officials don't dare." ”

"If Hou Ye Li doesn't have anything else to do, Xia Guan and Yu Linwei's brothers, he will leave first."

Li Xin looked at this Empress Xie's cousin with a smile and said with a smile: "Why does Xie Lang seem to be a little afraid of me?" ”

Nonsense, you didn't say a word last time, you took our Yu Linwei to cut down someone, it seems that your majesty knows someone, can I not be afraid of you?

Gongzi Xie complained in his heart.

After what happened last time, he was no longer ready to hug Li Xin's thigh, and his only thought at this time was...... Courteously stand.

"The subordinate officer doesn't dare, but he has been busy with the military department these days, and there should be a lot of things piled up in the right camp of Yulin Wei waiting for the subordinate to go back and deal with it......"

Li Xin said lightly: "Your Yulin Weiyou camp has been temporarily lent to this official, and these things have to be escorted to Yunzhou City, and you can't escape." ”

"You still have to wait here first, and after Ben Hou goes to the palace and determines the candidate for the north, you can set off."

Although Li Xin has not been doing things in Yu Linwei for a long time, he is still very easy to handle Yu Linwei, not to mention anything else, Yu Linwei's current Zhonglang General, when he sees Li Xin, he has to respectfully call Li Xin Uncle Shi.

Xie Dai looked left and right, and finally bowed his head a little helplessly and said, "Xiaguan...... Yes, sir. ”

Li Xin and Zhao Jia looked through the things handed over by the ordnance supervisor, and after confirming that there was no problem with the quality, Li Xin went back to the mansion to change into court clothes, and then took Chen Sixteen's carriage all the way into the palace.

Since the new dynasty, in eight years, Li Xin has never been difficult to see the emperor, he just entered the palace not long ago, he was led to the gate of Weiyang Palace by a young eunuch of the inner guard, and not long after Xiao Zheng was under the leadership of Xiao Zheng, he arrived at the side hall of Weiyang Palace and saw Taikang Tianzi who was reading.

Li Xin saluted respectfully to the Son of Heaven.

"Minister Li Xin, I have seen Your Majesty."

Only then did the Son of Heaven put down the scroll in his hand and smiled at Li Xin: "It's Chang'an here." ”

"Xiao Zheng, bring a chair to Chang'an."

Li Xin shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister will retire after saying the matter, and he won't stay for too long." ”

The Son of Heaven sighed and nodded, "You say." ”

"Your Majesty, the ordnance delivered by the Ordnance Superintendent, as well as the spirits from the Imperial Wine Division, have been sent to the minister's mansion, please Your Majesty select the person who will transport the ordnance as soon as possible, and send these things to Yunzhou City as soon as possible."

The Son of Heaven smiled: "It's okay so soon, it seems that the ordnance supervisor is doing a good job." ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "Yes, the minister took a look at those standard long knives in the morning, and they were very sharp." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded with a smile and said, "Chang'an, who should you send?" ”

There is nothing taboo about this question, Li Xin answered very simply, he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, originally the ministers were going to use the right camp of Yulin Wei to send each other, so naturally Xie Lang will go to do this errand, but since Your Majesty is not worried about Xie Lang General, the minister has another candidate." ”

The Son of Heaven smiled and said, "I also have a candidate, why don't we write it on paper together and see if it's the same person?" ”

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "The minister obeys." ”

It didn't take long for Xiao Zheng to take the pen and hand it to Li Xin, Li Xin was not polite, and wrote two words on the note.

The Son of Heaven also picked up a pen and wrote two words, and then they were all held by Xiao Zheng and handed over to the Son of Heaven together.

The Son of Heaven slowly unfolded the two notes, only to see two words written on the notes.

Weighing ......

Not long after the formation of Qianniuwei, the grandson of this kind of Xuantong was a Zhonglang general in Qianniuwei, and later after Qianniuwei was barely formed, the Son of Heaven transferred his brother-in-law Xie Jing to Qianniuwei.

Today's Chong Heng, who works in the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses, is now a general soldier.

This person is the grandson of the seed family, and he has been in Yunzhou City for a while, so it is very suitable for him to go to Yunzhou City to deliver things.

The Son of Heaven casually threw both pieces of paper aside, and then smiled at Li Xin.

"Since Chang'an has given a candidate, then I will follow Qing's play."

"Xiao Zheng, pretend to give Chong Heng and let him prepare to go to the north."

Grand Duke Xiao bowed his head respectfully.

"Slaves obey ......"
