His Majesty's chariot had to travel for a month to reach Yangzi City, but His Majesty's decree arrived in less than half a month.
After receiving the order, Ning Weimo felt extremely complicated.
Because he was thinking about how badly he should be injured to reach the standard.
His Majesty said that he should recover from his injuries and not need to pick up the driver, so the injury would at least prevent him from getting out of bed, because with Ning Weimo's past behavior, even if he could barely crawl, he would crawl to pick up the driver.
He looked at Lin Ye who was sitting leisurely drinking tea, and for the first time he felt that practicing martial arts had such benefits.
He had to pretend, but Lin Ye didn't have to pretend even if he was injured by an arrow.
"When His Majesty arrives, if he asks you how I am injured, you'd better send someone back to tell me after you answer."
Ning Weimo said: "I can pretend as you said, at least it can't be too different from what you said."
Lin Ye looked at him and then asked: "Isn't it tiring to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts?"
Ning Weimo: "Do you think I am you?"
He said: "Some people can act unscrupulously based on His Majesty's favor, but for me, I can only walk on thin ice by guessing His Majesty's intentions."
Lin Ye: "A scholar is a scholar. If you don't mention anyone by name, it doesn't sound like you are scolding me. It sounds more like you are scolding His Majesty."
Ning Weimo said: "Shut up! You want to kill me?! You are so good, although I don't know why His Majesty thinks you are so good."
Lin Ye: "Are you angry?"
Ning Weimo glared at him.
Lin Ye said: "Then let me ask you a question. In Jiangshan State, which is more important, your civil servants or our generals."
Ning Weimo: "Just as important."
Lin Ye shook his head: "You are important."
He said: "When it is our turn to be important, there are only two conditions. One is that the country and the country are good, and the other is that the country and the country are not good."
If it's good, you'll have the desire to expand your territory; if it's not good, you'll want to protect your homeland.
He looked at Ning Weimo: "Since we only have these two important moments, you are the one who dominates us on weekdays. You are so jealous."
Ning Weimo: "Who said I'm jealous? I'm just jealous."
He said: "Of course I know that civil servants are more important, because what we do well is to ensure that the people live well, and what you do well is to ensure that the people do not die."
Lin Ye: "You can write this sentence down."
Ning Weimo: "Remember it."
Lin Ye: "You are a gentleman."
Ning Weimo: "Huh? What I'm talking about are the notes you took down, not...forget it, don't get angry with vulgar people."
Lin Ye: "I mean you should write it down and think about it again when conflicts arise in the future."
Ning Weimo glared at Lin Ye again.
Lin Ye took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Ning Weimo: "What can I help you with?"
Lin Ye said: "Looking at how hard you are pretending, I can save you from pretending. Breaking two legs is just a piece of cake."
Ning Weimo: "Send off guests."
Lin Ye: "Stingy."
He asked: "Last time you went to my house, you brought me some new tea sent from Dayu to Yangzi. Do you still have it?"
Ning Weimo: "Yes."
Lin Ye: "I'll take some with me when I leave later."
Ning Weimo: "I'll send someone out to buy it later. After all, I just bought it casually on the way."
Lin Ye: "..."
Ning Weimo said: "Even you don't have anyone to send you new tea. Why do you think that someone will care about me? When Dayu's new tea comes, someone will fawn over me and send it all the way."
Lin Ye said: "Because if you flatter civil servants, you will be able to rise to prominence if you are successful. If you flatter military generals, if you are successful, your family will be confiscated and your family will be destroyed."
Ning Weimo: "..."
Ning Weimo said: "I thought I was stingy, but I really didn't expect you to be stingier than me."
Lin Ye: "Why do you say that?" Ning Weimo said: "As long as you are willing to go out and buy some tea, you can't help but know that I bought it from the tea shop not far from your home."
Lin Ye: "If you don't spend money, it's not picking."
Ning Weimo: "Ah..."
Lin Ye shouted towards the door: "We are waiting outside, come in."
Ning Weimo's servants came in from outside immediately, leaned over and asked, "What orders does the general have?"
Lin Ye said: "Your master said that he wanted to give me some good tea. You go and buy it now. He said that I saved his life and had to repay him, so he wanted to buy the best tea."
The servant looked at Ning Weimo.
Lin Ye said: "Look at what he did, do you think your master is the kind of person who is not willing to spend money to repay the kindness of saving his life?"
The servant looked at Lin Ye with a look that was a little innocent, but also a little acknowledging...My lord, he is, he is.
Ning Weimo sighed: "Go buy it."
The servant asked: "How much...?"
Lin Ye: "There's no need to have too much tea. Just pick the best one and buy it. Four or five kilograms is enough."
Ning Weimo: "Four or five pounds! Do you want to drink tea or make eggs?"
Lin Ye: "It makes sense..."
He looked at the servant: "Buy some not so good ones, maybe four or five kilograms. I want to make some tea eggs to eat."
Ning Weimo: "!!!!!"
The servant had no choice but to turn around, thinking that this time the adult would be in pain. It was the first time he saw the adult and he was deflated. Not to mention, it was quite fun.
From what he saw, General Lin Ye was the first person who could make Master Ning pay.
Lin Ye waited for the servant to come back from buying tea, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Ning, for your generosity. I will take my leave and go back. You can take good care of yourself."
"I'll see you off, General."
Ning Weimo got up.
Lin Ye said: "No need to send it away, don't forget that you are still recovering from your injuries."
Ning Weimo said: "It doesn't matter, let the general's carriage come directly to the backyard. I will get on the carriage in the backyard, no one can see it."
Lin Ye: "Why do you insist on sending me away?"
Ning Weimo: "My life-saving grace, if I don't even give it to you, it would seem that I don't know etiquette and I'm not sincere."
Lin Ye said: "You can send it if you want. I won't stop you. If your Majesty scolds you, you can carry it yourself."
After saying that, I went out carrying the tea leaves. They totaled nearly ten kilograms of tea leaves, which was two huge bags.
Ning Weimo really followed him and got on Lin Ye's carriage directly in the backyard. Lin Ye said that it was okay to just send it to the door. Ning Weimo said that he must be sincere.
So he sent it to Lin Ye's general's mansion, and he stopped leaving.
Lin Ye seemed to understand something when he looked at the guy who sat down carelessly and ordered Lin Ye's soldiers to make tea.
Ning Weimo ordered Lin Ye's soldiers: "Go make tea, take the bag on the left. I remember, that bag is expensive, don't put too much tea in the bag. I have a heavy mouth and like to drink stronger tea.
"
Lin Ye sighed softly.
Ning Weimo looked at another soldier: "Go and arrange the meal. I want to have two drinks with your general today. Your general is generous and hospitable. Go buy some good wine and pick the most expensive one."
Buy it, or you will lose the face of your general."
The two soldiers looked at Lin Ye at the same time.
Ning Weimo said: "Look at what your general does. Is your general the kind of stingy person who is reluctant to entertain his friends when they visit him?"
The two soldiers looked at Ning Weimo again, with a look that was both innocent and acknowledging... Yes, my general, he is.
Lin Ye sighed: "Go."
Ning Weimo sat there, picked up the tea that had just been brewed and smelled it.
"fragrant!"
Lin Ye: "Shit, is it different from what you brought to me last time?"
Ning Weimo pointed to the cheaper bag: "It's the same as that one, but it's different from this one."
Lin Ye: "..."
When Ning Weimo saw Lin Ye like this, he suddenly felt comfortable.
It really hurts to ask him to spend some money. If he doesn't get back this loss, he may not be able to sleep well tonight.
I tossed and turned over and over, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I would probably come to see Lin Ye all night and have a late-night snack to solve it.
Lin Yewen: "I heard that when you were an official in the Geling Household Department, you were a fat employee."
Ning Weimo: "You have never seen so much money in your life, I see it every day."
Lin Ye: "Well, so?"
Ning Weimo: "So I know the benefits of money, and I can't spend it carelessly."
Lin Ye: "I heard that you were later transferred to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, and you doubled the money allocated by the court. The court set ten taels of silver per household, and you gave fifteen taels, and you also asked the court for a sum of money.
In order to rebuild, I also asked for a sum of money to be kept as a backup."
Ning Weimo: "First of all, it's not my own money, and secondly, it's not my own money. What's wrong with spending more? Save money that should be spent."
Lin Ye: "I heard that after you came to Yunzhou to become the city lord, you were particularly frugal with your three meals a day. Only the lunch meal included meat dishes."
Ning Weimo: "What do you want to do!"
Lin Ye: "I think Master Ning should like that..."
Ning Weimo: "I don't like it!"
He glared at Lin Ye: "If you give me only one or two vegetarian dishes today, I will go and tell you how stingy you are tomorrow, and the whole world will know!"
Lin Ye: "But you should be recuperating today, and you shouldn't be eating at my house."
Ning Weimo: "!!!!!"
"The two of us..."
Ning Weimo put on a smile and said, "Don't be like this. I'll finish today's meal and I'll feel better. You won't feel grateful. We'll get along well in the future."
Lin Ye: "Not good."
Ning Weimo: "What else do you want?"
Lin Ye suddenly became serious and said: "I plan to recruit troops in Guzhu, but I don't have enough money. You are in charge of the local power in Guzhu, so it shouldn't be a problem to allocate some to me."
Ning Weimo: "Why are you recruiting troops in Guzhu? Your Majesty has no such intention."
Lin Ye: "Then guess why His Majesty asked me to come to Guzhu?"
He said: "More than half of the soldiers I have now were recruited from Dongbo. I will recruit another group from Guzhu, and I will have to make up at least 50,000."
He looked at Ning Weimo: "These fifty thousand soldiers are not from Dayu. They will be useful when needed in the future."
Ning Weimo's expression kept changing.
He was thinking about why Lin Ye did this. It was a gamble.
If Lin Ye's bet is right and His Majesty feels happy, then everyone will naturally be happy.
But if Lin Ye was not right in his bet and secretly recruited troops in Guzhu, then when His Majesty was angry, he, the person who allocated funds to Lin Ye, would not be able to escape.
"Afraid?"
Lin Ye asked him.
Ning Weimo frowned and did not immediately answer Lin Ye's words, but was thinking deeply.
Lin Ye went to see him today, whether he wanted tea or entertaining him, it was all for the purpose of recruiting troops.
Lin Ye didn't say anything anymore, just waiting for the border official's decision.
After a while, Ning Weimo looked at Lin Ye and said seriously: "You should understand that if you bet like this, once you lose the bet, His Majesty will think that you are recruiting troops to do evil, and you will lose your head. I will give it to you."
If we allocate funds, I will lose my head."
Lin Ye: "I understand, but I think I can still take a gamble."
Ning Weimo: "You understand, you still bet?"
Lin Ye: "Gamble."
Ning Weimo let out a heavy breath.
He said: "Then make a big bet!"
He looked into Lin Ye's eyes: "I will allocate enough money for you to recruit 100,000 soldiers. You don't have to worry about not having enough money and food. I will ask those rich guys in Guzhu for it. If they don't come, I will rob them. You just need to raise 100,000 yuan."
I have enough money and food to take care of the tens of thousands of dollars, so I can save the money and spend it in the province!”
Lin Ye's eyes widened.
Then he turned back and shouted: "Add two more meat dishes."
