The couple took Brother Xu to Fang's house for dinner.
The Fang family cook was also good at cooking. He bought two legs of lamb, marinated them and smoked them with pine wood. After they were cooked, the aroma spread for thousands of miles. The children all ate a lot, even Feng Shaojun also ate a lot.
After eating the roasted leg of lamb, a bowl of sweet pear syrup is also very moist.
Lei Xiaoxue asked casually with a smile: "Fourth brother and sister, what have you been busy with these days? I went to find you twice in a row, but you were not there."
Living so close to each other makes it easy to come and go, and we are as close as one family, but there are also many inconveniences. For example, Feng Shaojun often goes out, which cannot be covered up.
Moreover, it is not convenient for Jixiang to pretend to be her anymore. After all, Jixiang is already quite old. He will be twenty-two years old after the Chinese New Year and needs to find a suitable marriage.
Therefore, Feng Shaojun had already thought of the reason from the beginning: "I'm really bored after being idle all day. I'm thinking of buying a shop, doing some random business, earning some money from makeup, and passing the time."
Lei Xiaoxue and Mr. Li were not suspicious.
It is not unusual for a man to work hard for a career outside, and for a woman to be her husband, teach her son, take charge of the family, and run a business. It is not unusual for Feng Shaojun to grow up in a foreign family. It is normal for him to like running a business.
Lei Xiaoxue smiled and said: "I can't do it. I have loved dancing with guns and sticks since I was a child, and I am most afraid of abacus and account books."
Li pursed her lips and smiled: "That's better than me. Not only can I not settle accounts, I can't even wield a sword or a gun. In my free time, I like to buy jewelry, clothing materials, and rouge. I am not good at making money, but I am good at spending it."
Talking and laughing, everyone returned home happily.
A separation between husband and wife is better than a wedding.
Shen You was particularly happy tonight.
Feng Shaojun was a little tired and stared at him with a smile: "What happened to you tonight?"
Shen You's black eyes shone brightly: "Shaojun, let's have another daughter!"
Feng Shaojun softened his tone: "I'm much more free now than before, I can think about it."
Shen You was overjoyed and held her tightly in his arms. It wasn't until both of them were exhausted that they hugged each other and whispered. Feng Shaojun picked up the things he had done in the past few days and talked about a few things. He also reminded Shen You to be wary of Zhao.
Participate in this person.
Shen You raised his thick eyebrows and said calmly: "Don't worry, I have been prepared for it. If he dares to take action, I will take this opportunity to sort out the people in the cavalry camp."
Righteousness does not control wealth, and kindness does not control soldiers.
A person who leads an army must never be merciful. He should kill people and establish authority when he should.
Feng Shaojun knew Shen You's abilities, so he didn't worry about him much. After talking for a while, he fell asleep.
Shen You pondered silently for a long time before closing his eyes.
…
Early the next morning, Shen You returned to the military camp.
The cavalry battalion was first established not long ago, and now there are only 5,000 cavalry, all of which are in training and have not yet become cavalry. By next year, another group of new soldiers will have to be recruited. It is estimated that it will take three years to recruit and train 20,000 cavalry.
A cavalryman needs at least two horses, and raising tens of thousands of war horses costs much more money than raising 20,000 soldiers. The imperial treasury is not abundant, and it is not easy to squeeze out millions of taels of huge military pay every year.
Shen You deeply felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders and took the initiative to shorten the two-day holiday into one day. No one complained about Shen Jia, Fangpeng and others, and followed Shen You into the military camp.
General Meng has already submitted a memorial requesting a new military camp. To build a camp suitable for cavalry training, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. However, this is spent on the cutting edge and cannot be saved.
Only when the imperial court issues an official document and allocates money can we officially start building the military camp. There are a lot of things that can be done now. Choose a suitable military camp address, design and plan the new army barracks, and outline the regulations for training cavalry.
In short, Shen You was busy as soon as he entered the military camp.
He dispersed Shen Jia and others, and each of them temporarily received a hundred recruits. The original generals in the cavalry camp were not moved for the time being. After all, new soldiers would have to be recruited next year, and there was no reason to have too many generals. While training the troops, they were slowly eliminated Just make a substitution.
General Shen You made dozens of copies of the military training strategy formulated by General Shen You. Each general in the cavalry camp was given a copy to study carefully. Then each person led his own soldiers to train. After every five days, they would gather together All the cavalrymen practiced military formation for a day.
Shen You ate and lived with the soldiers, and trained together every day. Whether it was riding a horse or shooting an arrow, he could outperform all the soldiers. This alone quickly impressed the soldiers and gave rise to their respect and love. .
General Meng had been paying close attention to the cavalry camp. After hearing this, he secretly nodded in approval.
No wonder Emperor Qing'an was so fond of using Shen You.
With Shen You's abilities, he will definitely become a famous general in Daqi and a good minister in the future!
General Zhao Shen was in the cavalry camp and felt this very deeply.
That night, Lieutenant Cui and General Ma quietly sneaked into General Zhao's camp and whispered: "Brother, has His Highness's reply arrived?"
General Zhao Shen nodded and gave them the letter from King Zhao.
Lieutenant Cui and General Ma put their heads in one place, read the letter carefully, and then their eyes lit up.
"Fortunately, my second brother came up with this idea." Mr. Ma slapped his thigh hard and said with a grin: "Look, His Royal Highness King Zhao is so wise. He has no intention of letting us take action. If we take action rashly, not only will we not be able to protect ourselves, , it will also implicate His Highness. Now, with this letter from Your Highness, we don’t have to be in a dilemma."
Lieutenant Cui also breathed a sigh of relief and laughed in a low voice: "The prince has made his own decisions. After returning home, he will inevitably be reprimanded by His Highness."
Zhao Shen flashed his eyes and opened his mouth: "You all keep this matter deep in your heart and you are not allowed to mention it to anyone."
Captain Cui and General Ma nodded solemnly.
General Zhao Shen took the letter, moved it to the candlelight, and burned the letter to ashes.
…
Prince Zhao naturally didn't know all this.
He is still having sweet dreams that Shen You is about to fall from power!
The group of people returned to the capital slowly and went to the palace to resume their duties.
Over the past month or so, Emperor Qing'an had been in a bad mood, his face had become thinner, and his eyes had become deeper and colder. As soon as he glanced at him, the three princes and princes of Zhao felt cold in their hearts, and no one dared to look at the emperor.
"You three went to the border army camp on my behalf. If you saw something and thought something, you might as well tell me." Emperor Qing'an's voice was light, and there was no hint of happiness or anger.
Prince Zhao finally wasn't that stupid. He cheered up and praised the border army, and even pinched his nose and praised Shen You a few times.
Zhu Yang and Ding Lang opened their mouths to agree, choosing to say something nice.
Emperor Qing'an glanced at the three of them and thought of Shen You who had to leave the capital. His mood suddenly became gloomy and his voice became colder: "I ordered the three of you to go to the border army with Shen You. You and Shen You left the capital halfway. Yu moved his hands. You guys are really kind."
The three princes and princes of Zhao had no choice but to kneel down and apologize.
Emperor Qing'an snorted coldly: "Are you unconvinced?"
