Chapter 423 Please take care of them
"I want to establish this place and make abundant resources."
Zhuang Yong pointed to the strange-shaped thing on the fruit plate on the table: "It looks strange, looks strange, but the taste is pretty good. You may not have tasted the fruit here. Last time I left in a hurry, I guess I didn't feel the exotic style."
Chen Leng glanced at the fruits on the table, and they all looked strangely long.
"All these are directly edible?"
"Um."
Zhuang Yong walked to the window and pushed the window open, trying to breathe in the room, then he heard a whine behind him, and quickly turned around and found that Chen Leng was holding a durian and nibbling it, piercing his lips.
"Uh...what did you ask me just now?"
"Are these eaten directly..."
"Absolutely, but the one you are chewing now is not."
Chen Leng put down the durian: "Punch your mouth."
Zhuang Yong: "Ahem... this is not what I eat. All the fruits can be eaten directly. At worst, peeling and shelling will make it complicated. This thing has to be roasted."
Chen Leng: "Grill like a skewer?"
"right."
Zhuang Yong ordered: "Put a stove for General Chen, I will go ahead and see if there is any military affairs. I will come back later to accompany you."
Half an hour later, when Zhuang Yong came back, he saw Chen Leng sitting in the yard watching the sky in a daze. When he saw Zhuang Yong come back, Chen Leng cried.
"I don't want to know anything else. Take me to see what kind of shit is on the tree."
It is unimaginable how terrifying the moment it sprays when it explodes and cracks, making people want to die.
Zhuang Yong laughed with a thunderous sound and suddenly became proud.
"Why don't you rest in the house?"
"I don't dare, I'm afraid that when the medical officer comes in to change the medicine, I suspect that I'm stealing shit and eating it, and it's heated up."
Chen Leng glared at Zhuang Yong: "I remember when I first met the general, I felt that the general was solemn and steady. He was the kind of serious person who was well-educated as a scholar and wore armor to break through the sky. Now I know that there is a devil in everyone's heart..."
Zhuang Yong sat down next to Shen Leng: "I haven't said you ruined my house yet, the smell will probably not be dissipated for days or nights."
Chen Leng: "You will kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of them. General, you are also cruel enough."
Zhuang Yong waved: "Get another durian and mangosteen."
The subordinates quickly took another durian and some mangosteens. Chen Leng didn't even look at the durian. He felt that the mangosteen looked red like a small lantern, and it looked delicious. He picked up one to eat. Suddenly he realized that Zhuang Yong was no longer the same Zhuang Yong as before, and there was still a pit, so he took the mangosteen that stuffed it to his mouth and took it back: "This is not something you can eat directly, right?"
Zhuang Yong nodded: "No, remove the shell."
I originally wanted to see Chen Lengjie and tell him, but Chen Lengxue became smart.
Chen Leng pinched a mangosteen and immediately smiled: "Hahaha... Do you think I have never seen garlic with shells? I have never seen it, but I can recognize it as garlic. Fortunately I didn't eat it."
Zhuang Yong burst into laughter, Chen Leng felt that he might have been cheated again.
"Your Majesty actually values not seeking a position. You can also see from Your Majesty's decree. When it comes to seeking a position, Your Majesty has no intention of raising the people and land. These are all obvious, and everyone can see clearly. But why does Your Majesty use the food from these places to establish the Southern Li to supply the battle of the Northern Xinjiang? It is too much to mobilize the troops, and it takes three months to travel from the Southern Xinjiang to the Northern Xinjiang fleet. This is still the waterway of Daning is well developed. If there is no Grand Canal, it will take the first half of a year."
Zhuang Yong looked at Chen Leng: "Why is it so harmful to money?"
"Because your Majesty is worried."
After a while of coldness, I stuffed a few mangosteens into my mouth, and felt it was so sweet and delicious.
"In the battle against northern Xinjiang, it is not comparable to fighting against Nanyue. Daning defeated Nanyue for less than a month, and destroyed Qiuxing for at most half a year. As for destroying a small country like Nanli, seven days are enough... But against the black warriors in northern Xinjiang, it will take a long time to fight against Daning's foundation and abundant treasury, no matter how much more than a year and a half, they will be dragged out by that battle. Once they reach that point, someone will make trouble."
Chen Leng said: "It is not scary to hurt money, what is scary is to waste the people."
He glanced at Zhuang Yong: "If the people of Daning complained, then the foundation of a powerful country for hundreds of years would be gone. Your Majesty would not drag Daning into the swamp just because he took a breath to seek a false reputation. Therefore, he would rather carry the infamy of a tyrant and ask for the search of Li Nanli."
Zhuang Yong nodded: "Is there any more?"
"besides?"
Chen Leng frowned: "I didn't expect anything."
Zhuang Yong waved his hand to signal the personal soldiers to withdraw, and only he and Shen Leng were left in the small yard.
"The reason why most of the supplies and transportation of the Northern Expedition to the Navy is that His Majesty trusts the navy and transports by land. If someone interferes with it, if the supply and food and supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Expedition Battle is cut off, do you think about the consequences?"
Chen Leng felt a chill when he heard this.
Queen?
He thought of that woman in his heart.
"I heard that His Majesty was taking Mu Zhaotong in the Eastern Tour?"
Zhuang Yong asked.
Chen Leng nodded: "I brought it with me."
"There are many people in the court who can see through the surface. Most people think that Your Majesty wants to give the Grand Secretary a decent attitude. In less than half a year, Mu Zhaotong will inevitably withdraw from the cabinet. It only depends on how he retreats. But few people can see through His Majesty's second meaning. If you fight in the north, who can cut off the supply of food and supplies for the army?"
Chen Leng's heart was a little colder, and he had indeed never thought about these things.
"Mu Zhaotongruo is still a Grand Secretary. If the man in the palace instructed him to do anything, he would not refuse. He only needed to delay the delivery of the army's food and grass for one month, or even half a month. The army would undoubtedly be defeated. If something happened to Your Majesty in the chaos, then someone would naturally be happy."
Zhuang Yong lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty trusts the Navy more than any combat soldier, so it's safe to hand over the logistics supplies to the Navy. Even if it's more laborious, it's safe. So you should know more about Your Majesty's love for you. He gave your life to you. Now you understand why Your Majesty insists on you going to Dongjiang to meet Peiting Mountain?"
Chen Leng nodded: "I understand."
"Your Majesty will not touch Pei Tingshan for the time being, even if many people think that."
Zhuang Yong said: "If Peiting Mountain is gone in the East Xinjiang, there will be at least three turbulent years. Moreover, no one can take over the military power of the General of the East Xinjiang, so Peiting Mountain cannot move. In the battle of the North Xinjiang, the Eastern Sword War is the backing of His Majesty. Once the war is unfavorable, the Eastern Sword War will inevitably go north. In this case, how could Your Majesty remove Peiting Mountain first? Your Majesty asked you to go to the East Xinjiang to meet Peiting Mountain, just to tell Peiting Mountain clearly that Your Majesty will hand over your back to you, this little guy. Peiting Mountain moved you, which means you are planning to your Majesty, and you are going to kill Your Majesty."
Zhuang Yong smiled: "Pei Tingshan is not a fool, he will understand."
Chen Leng nodded: "I didn't expect there would be so many things here."
"Your Majesty's strategy is in the future."
Zhuang Yong smiled and said, "The era of your young people is coming. After the war in Northern Xinjiang, it is estimated that young people will rise. What I can see now is Wu Xinyu of Northern Xinjiang to replace Tie Liuli. Although your brother Meng Changan seems to be more fierce, fierce and dazzling, he is not the candidate for His Majesty to replace the general of Northern Xinjiang. At least it cannot be Northern Xinjiang."
Chen Leng lowered his head: "How is that..."
"I just said that His Majesty plans toward the future and began to work on the current affairs a few years ago, such as Haisha."
Zhuang Yong leaned on the chair and breathed a long sigh: "Your Majesty gives me great honor. The Governor of the State of Tiaoguo seeks to establish the military and political affairs of the three places of Nanli. Since the founding of the State of Daning, I have never had such a powerful local official. My official path is at its peak. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful minister. So if Your Majesty handed over the navy to Haisha, I naturally would not have any resistance... Lengzi, how long do you think I will be here?"
Zhuang Yong was a little sad. Although he deliberately concealed it, his eyes still showed a bit of sadness.
"I have begun to get used to the food here, the climate here, the local language of the people here, and force myself to get used to it, such as the smelly durian. I really don't think it tastes good, but I still eat it because I know that I may die of old age here... There must be one person in these three places to suppress it."
Zhuang Yong smiled, a little helpless.
Chen Leng lowered her head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"I heard that you and Baobao Tang became sworn brothers?"
"yes."
"Good thing."
Zhuang Yong said: "The barrier in the northwest of Daning is the Tang family. Although the people of the Tang family have always been low-key, no one can ignore it. As long as the Tang family is still in the northwest, the northwest will be as stable as a mountain. If nothing unexpected happens, many men from the Tang family will go to war with His Majesty. If you become sworn brothers with Tang Baobao will be good for you in the future."
Zhuang Yong glanced at Chen Leng: "Mr. Chen asked me to send me a letter."
Chen Leng looked up: "What did you say?"
"nothing."
Zhuang Yong just smiled and didn't say anything. Mr. Chen's letter said something, so Chen Leng would not know for the time being.
Chen Leng naturally would not understand. Zhuang Yong said just now that he might have been asking for this place to be established until he was old, because he had just submitted a memorial not long ago, asking His Majesty to let him stay here, enlighten the people, teach the people, turn the barbaric land into the land of Daning, and make the three fertile and fertile overseas places the land of Daning's money warehouse, Daning's granary.
If nothing unexpected happens, Your Majesty will definitely report.
Many years later, if the crown prince ascended the throne was not good for Lengzi, it would be the least helpful, Lengzi still has a place to go.
Zhuang Yong let out a long breath and patted Lengzi on the shoulder: "Life well, work hard, and lead the troops well. Your Majesty's trust in you exceeds that of anyone of your age. Don't let Your Majesty down."
Chen Leng nodded: "I remember."
"Let's go."
Zhuang Yong looked at the cold eyes: "You have to go back quickly and take the naval commander north to Dongjiang. Your Majesty asked you to take the fleet over to everyone in Dongjiang. There is no doubt about the navy's ability to transport supplies. There is no worries in the battle of the northern border, and those unruly guys in the swordsman will be more confident. You can understand the way your Majesty uses people in the future."
Zhuang Yong stood up and said, "I won't keep you. In the future... if you have the chance, come here to see me. By the way, ask you something. If your aunt and Rong'er want to stay in Chang'an City or some other place, you should take care of you. If they want to come to me, you can send someone to escort them."
After saying this, Zhuang Yong strode out, his back was a little depressed.
It was obvious that Chen Leng could see that Zhuang Yong's shoulders trembled slightly.
