Chapter 286: Prince Long encouraged his soldiers and the elite meeting of Jingshuihe Painting Boat

Shi Yong, who smiled so hard that his eight teeth showed his eyes, did not speak up, but said loudly: "Welcome to the prince!"

Ten thousand people below the stage reflexed and shouted loudly: "Welcome to the prince!" Amid the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis, His Highness Longwei, wearing a scarlet cloak, appeared on the platform.

Qin Lei had just rushed back from Longyou Province, but his face was so bright that he could not see any fatigue. His eyes were around the scene and saw more than 10,000 soldiers looking at him with all concentration, then he shouted: "My soldiers!"

Under the leadership of the captains, the team shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Qin Lei held the knife in one hand and waved it with the other: "I want to congratulate you!"

The listless team was revived. They never knew that they were so eager for praise - perhaps no one had ever praised them before leaving Zhongdu.

"You have created two firsts! Unprecedented firsts!"

The field suddenly became very quiet, and the soldiers held their breath, wanting to hear what they had done.

Nodding and showing satisfaction with the effect he caused, Qin Lei continued to whisper: "First of all, you marched continuously for seven days on your feet for a total of 500 miles. This is the first time in history!" Qin Lei didn't know if there had been any similar marches in history, but he asked these people to get along with the best results in history without any burden and no concerns about supply.

Moreover, as long as it is needed by the Prince of Longwei, there is no need to care about so much historical data.

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that they could last for so long and walk so far. They couldn't help but whisper: "How far is five hundred miles?" The captain around them laughed and said, "It's probably the distance from here to the moon." As soon as this said, it immediately caused a lot of praise. The newcomers praised each other and said, "Okay, you can all walk up to the moon." "Where is, if you walk for a few more days, you might be the sun."

Qin Lei looked at the whispering audience with a smile. Shi Yong was stopped by him when he wanted to scold him. He chuckled and said, "Moranna is available." Shi Yong nodded and retreated, muttering, "What are you doing on the moon? You are on the first and thirty years of the lunar month, and you have no place to stand."

Qin Lei couldn't help but smile, but he didn't intend to expose Shi Yong's beautiful fantasy. Maybe Sister Chang'e would be the target of a secret meeting in his dream.

When the audience was quieter, Qin Lei coughed lightly and continued, "This is even more amazing." The audience immediately became silent. "You are marching for a hundred miles in one day today, which is definitely a feat!" Qin Lei waved his left hand suddenly and shouted: "Young men, you have done something that other troops have never done before. You are the best, cheer for yourself!"

The audience suddenly became boiling, and everyone screamed and laughed, patted each other, twisted, and vented their joy in their hearts madly and... the depression that had been afflicted for a long time.

Qin Lei chuckled softly at Huangfu Zhanwen and a few others standing next to him, "I guess they will have a lighter resentment towards Gu." Yang Wenyu and Shen Qing, who were unaware of the situation, nodded in agreement, but Huangfu Zhanwen and Shi Yong looked at each other with strange expressions. The two of them thought to themselves: "The evil people are all the people, but you are just good people, so why are you still trying to distinguish here?"

After a long time, the noise in the audience gradually subsided. Qin Lei raised his right hand and the crowd completely quieted down. He nodded and continued: "Eight days ago, when you were in Zhongdu City, did you think you could surpass your predecessors?"

Everyone in the audience smiled embarrassedly and said to himself: "If we knew that we were so powerful, we would not even stay in Beijing."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "Anyway, Gu Wang didn't expect it. You surprised me." As he said, he said, "You let Gu know why our Qin family army could become the number one army in the world back then..." The few people behind him all had goose bumps and shouted in their hearts: "It's so stingy!"

But the Qin family's children below like to listen. I don't know who was the first to shout: "The world's number one! The world's number one!" Soon, more and more people shouted, and finally formed a deafening voice: "The world's number one!'

Yang Wenyu had to admit that this prince was an inspiring master. He stirred up the empty fire of those who were originally tired and dying of death in just a few words, and his eyes were green. Looking at Shi Yong and the other Shi Yong around him, he looked like he was commonplace. Obviously, this was not a difficult task for the prince.

Huangfu Zhanwen suddenly chuckled and said, "If it weren't for the holiday tomorrow, the prince wouldn't have said this."

Yang Wenyu looked at him in confusion. Before Huangfu Zhanwen could answer, he heard Shi Yong whisper in a low voice: "I'm afraid no one will fall asleep tonight."

When the crowd calmed down again, he looked at Qin Lei's eyes, as if they could melt him. He enjoyed this feeling of being trusted by everyone. No matter when, no matter how tired he was, Qin Lei could always draw endless power from this gaze.

"But you have to be clear that we only have the potential to become the number one army in the world. The distance between us and the veritable "No. 1 in the world" is much longer than the distance from here to the moon."

Everyone in the audience was very energetic. When they heard this, they not only did not retreat, but instead said, "Didn't it just hold on for a while? You can walk to the moon and the sun. Prince, that distance has not been far from the sun, right?"

Qin Lei smiled and said, "As long as everyone can keep their energy in their current state, it is much closer than going to the sun!" The audience cheered, and these people seemed to have been opened by Qin Lei, and they would be very excited if they were slightly stimulated.

Qin Lei knew that when morale rises to a certain level, and further agitation will lead to the army being arrogant and being lazy in practice, which is the reason. As soon as he raises his hand and restores peace in the field, he changed his tone and said in a deep voice: "The next month, let us take the first step to become the world's number one - to become a qualified Qin soldier! Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" This time, no need to encourage, everyone shouted loudly with the power of feeding.

Finally, he alarmed Qin Qiuqiu who was sleeping soundly on the ground. He sat up in a panic and looked around and said, "Is it time to eat? Is it time to eat? No. 7, what should I eat for lunch today?"

On the second day, the Jingshan Camp was on holiday, including 3,000 officers and soldiers who had been building wintering houses. People were told that they could move freely within a radius of five miles of Jingshan Camp, but they were not allowed to cross the line, fight, tease women, rob wealth, kill people, and severe punishment for criminals.

But it seemed that the orders issued by Shi Yong seriously seemed a little unnecessary. No one was interested in traveling, and they all lie in a cave as warm as spring, covering their heads and falling asleep. The days of running around and working have made them too tired that they can't be interested in anything except sleeping soundly.

This also made the minds who left Jingshan Camp and sailed on Jingshui River secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Lei and his friends rode a pleasure boat and set sail quietly before dawn. Under the escort of black-armored knights on both sides of the shore, they floated aimlessly on the Jingshui River.

This pleasure boat has two floors. The lower floor is a black-clothed guard, which is covered with the front and back of the pleasure boat, and strictly guards the second floor prince and all the lords.

Qin Wei carried a large copper pot and climbed the second floor along the only stairs. He saw eight people sitting around a long table covered with dark green tweed tablecloth. The prince was naturally rushing to the stairs on the head. He occupied one side of the long table alone. The first one on the left was Mr. Guantao; the first one on the right was Mr. Buyi. Below Guantao, the long-lost civil affairs department, sat under Guantao, Qin Qi, the long-lost civil affairs department, Hou Xin, the business department of the government affairs temple; everyone came to the boss Shi Wei; Shen Bing, the intelligence department of the government affairs temple; Shi Meng, the contact department of the government affairs temple; and Qin Xuanqi, the old clan who was invited to attend, were exactly seven people.

Le Buyi's heads are Huangfu Zhanwen, Yang Wenyu, Shen Qing, Shi Yong, Ma Ai, and Xu Tian, ​​and there are also seven people. In addition to Zhuang Dieer, who was inconvenient to attend due to his identity, and Shi Gan, who had no choice but to guard the Hot Spring Palace, Yu Qian and Bo Shang Saiyang, who were on duty in Jingshan Camp, Qin Lei's essence in Kyoto is here.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the ship is overturned, the story of Prince Longwei will end. Therefore, Qin Lei dispatched two thousand iron cavalry to protect both sides of the river, and there were iron locks in the river for dozens of miles in front and behind, so that everything was foolproof.

Calling these minds together, they are naturally talking about top-secret strategic topics. Since Emperor Zhaowu revealed that he had eyeliners under Qin Lei's hands, Qin Lei has been more careful. This time, he would just drive all the irrelevant guards down, so that they can avoid suspicion.

The poor Qin Wei became the only waiter. He kept running up and down with a large teapot and pouring water for the adults. He naturally lamented in his heart. He was Qin Qi's cousin, and he followed Qin Lei indifferently since Beishan. Of course, there was no problem with loyalty.

Because of the new faces like Le Buyi and Yang Wenyu, Qin Lei asked everyone to introduce themselves again and get to know each other. After the end of the day, Qin Lei cleared his throat and made his opening remarks: "Everyone, when was the last meeting we had? I remember it was the Lantern Festival this year."

The old ministers couldn't help but sigh, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost a year since.

Guantao smiled and said, "Time has been wasted. Fortunately, we have not been working in vain this year." Qin Lei glanced at him and saw that the old boy was quite different today. Not only did he change into the torn cotton robe with oily traces and put on the royal blue robe, but even his face, which was as poor as Li Yuan in late autumn, was clean and neat, and he looked ten years younger. 'Is this guy a tree blooming? He didn't even clean up during the New Year.' Qin Lei thought to himself, so he made up his mind to interrogate after the meeting.

But it was obviously not the time to discuss Guantao's lifelong affairs. Qin Lei said with a clear voice: "The tasks assigned to everyone during the Lantern Festival were all very good," he heard the prince say so, Gou Ji and others showed joy on their faces. Who would have thought that Qin Lei laughed and said: "But this is not the time to reward merits. When the twelfth lunar month comes, all the people from all over the world will come back for the New Year. Let's talk carefully, Gou Ji, don't be disappointed, then the Lone King personally wears red flowers for you." Gou Ji was embarrassed to smile and lowered his head.

Qin Lei smiled and said, "This time I called you generals not to sum up the year-end, but for the Jingshan Camp and our new army. Today we will discuss these two things into a charter so that you can all know what you are doing. Don't twist me when you are responsible for your strait in the future." Everyone responded with a smile.

Qin Lei nodded, pointed at Shi Yong, and smiled and said, "You are the one who presided over the meeting." He then ordered Xu Tian, ​​who was sitting at the bottom of the head, "You make the meeting minutes, the paper and sketch charcoal pens are in the hole of the table." Xu Tian scratched his head, reached out to dig into the hole of the table, and indeed took out a cowhide cover notebook and a box of charcoal pens, opened the notebook and picked up the pen, and said softly: "Sir Shi, you can start."

Shi Yong also opened a notebook and cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, according to the strategy agreed in the early stage, he will build a strong city that can accommodate an army of 100,000 according to the mountain of Jingshan. This is beyond doubt. There are several questions that everyone is very concerned about now. Commander Le needs to answer: What is the budget for building Jingshan City? How long is the construction period? What is the scale after completion, and whether the dredging of Jingshui River is synchronized with the construction of the city?"

Le Buyi's current official position is the commander-in-chief of the Jingshan City Supervisor. Although he is unwilling to be an official, he is quite fond of such a practical and temporary job. He heard Shi Yong's name, he smiled slightly and said in a clear voice: "The construction period of Jingshan City is three years, requires thousands of craftsmen and 30,000 civilians, and the cost is about four million taels of silver. After completion, it can surround the entire Jingshan Mountain back, and there are two matching cities on both wings to guard the left and right, echoing the main city. As for dredging the Jingshui River, there is no rush to be a moment. When Jingshan City is built, it will not be too late to do it after the naval army is trained."

Everyone took a deep breath and thought to themselves: "What kind of civil servant is so good at spending money, and they snatched all our budgets in one go." They were selfish and were all in charge of their own business and wanted to make their errands prosperous. How could they lack money?

Shi Meng relied on his relationship with Qin Lei, but had no friendship with Le Buyi. The first person raised his hand and said, "I have something to say."

Qin Lei glared at him, Shi Meng shrank his neck and was about to shut up and pretend to be hoarse, but he heard the Buyi say, "It is not clear that the truth is not clear. Shi Dusi has anything to do, please tell me."

Shi Meng thought to himself: 'But you, old boy, suffer voluntarily, now the prince is no wonder I am." So he smiled and said, "I dare to ask Mr. Le, if it is really as you said, and it will be enough to spend 4 million taels in three years, wouldn't it be enough to take out all the three-year flow of our palace? Then all the plans of the government affairs temple are stagnant, and even the original progress cannot be maintained. I wonder how you always deal with this conflict?"

As soon as he said this, Qin Lei looked at him with admiration and thought to himself: "Only two people can teach Shi Meng such harsh words." Seeing Guan Tao scratching his head slightly, Qin Lei knew that it was the boss of the Zhuang in Beijing.

Na Zhile Buyi didn't tell him apart, and laughed and said, "Le is just a person who cares about spending money. As long as the prince can give me enough silver, he will not get involved in other things."

Shi Meng's face was stunned. Although others were rough, they were naturally good at observing their words and expressions. How could he not hear Le Buyi implicitly mocking himself for meddling in other people's business? He couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "If the prince says to discuss this matter, then I won't be considered a mess."

Qin Lei gave Shi Ming a blank look, but did not stop him from talking.

Qin Qi next to him also said, "Mr. Le, Qin Qi is in charge of the People's Context Department. He can feel that the storm is coming and the wind is coming. Is it too long for three years to build a city?"

Le Buyi shook his head and smiled, "It took ten or eight years to build a castle in ancient times. Our Jingshan City is much harder to build than a castle." After saying that, he said seriously: "This winter, we will step up and build the exterior wall of the main city first. In the next year, we can withstand the wind and rain for the army. The rest will be slowly drawn."

Qin Lei interrupted with a smile: "Don't bother with this matter anymore. Mr. Le's plan is to be approved by the Lone King. You don't have to worry about the money issue. In short, as long as it is a legitimate request, it will not be short of you."
