Chapter 491 Insert two green onions
Zhao Yulin said: "He disappeared, so that Shi's son would be afraid. All the officials in the Central Court who were at home should go and hold a large welcoming banquet to give this person some face. Let the Chengdu Weekly report it publicly, so that everyone in the world will know how magnanimous our New Song is."
The woman fell into his arms and hummed twice, saying that she would convene the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to discuss the plan to recover Shandong and Hebei.
He leaned over and kissed Feiyan on the forehead, calling her "Lord King", saying, "We can do whatever we want, don't ask him about everything, okay?"
Feiyan was delighted and sat on him to practice artificial respiration.
This scared Zhao Yulin, and he whispered in her ear that they were in the imperial city and she should be more reserved.
The woman didn't care when she was in the mood, she whispered in his ear: Stop talking nonsense, the important thing is to serve me.
As soon as the fairy Banban said she was a female elephant, he immediately stuck two scallions in her nostrils.
On the Cunjin Dike north of Kaifeng Prefecture, Li Dagui's troops of the Shenwei Army had completed the dike-building task, and the brothers were packing up to return to their base.
Up and down the river, the water mixed with ice debris was flowing.
Mengge and Hubili saw the rushing river water and angrily scolded Zhao Yulin for being so cruel that he actually thought of using such a trick to compete with them for Shandong.
Hubili said that Zhao Yulin was very smart. He did not completely block the Cunjin Dike, but buried several huge holes at the bottom of the dike to divert water, thus ensuring the smooth flow of the main channel under the Cunjin Dike.
They call this kind of hole a prefabricated reinforced concrete pipe, and it was made before they built the levee.
Meng Ge's mind was in a daze for a moment, and he began to doubt whether Zhao Yulin was a human or a god. How could he do everything so weirdly?
After thinking about it again, I felt relieved. These stories must have been made up by Zhao Yulin's people to deify him.
What is reinforced concrete pipe?
Isn't it just a hole made of iron bars woven into a cage and mixed with sand, other soil and cement? Do you think I don't understand? Humph.
Haha, this thing is simple to say, but it is really not easy to do well, especially to make super-large concrete pipes.
Hubili had known for a long time that Shandong was in danger, and he began to gather the seal-holding officials to prevent Li Quan from rebelling.
Zhao Yulin had no time to guess what they were doing. He and Feiyan were talking to his mother-in-law Kuang Sisi.
Zhao Feiyan officially became the ruler of the new Song Dynasty. Lady Danfeng Kuang Sisi was in a good mood, and she exuded a refreshing aura. She happily invited her son-in-law to have tea and taste her Longjing tea.
Zhao Feiyan asked him to taste it and told him that it was this year's new tea, which had just been sent by the pacification envoy of Liangzhe Road through Shunfengsi.
Fairy, these two really know how to enjoy themselves. They even asked Shunfengsi to quickly pass them tea leaves. Zhao Yulin pretended to be cool and tasted the pre-rain Longjing tea properly, but he kept shaking his head in his heart.
He really wanted to criticize Feiyan for using people from Shunfengsi to do these non-military matters, but when he saw that both mother and daughter had happy faces, he held back and exclaimed, "The fragrance is so refreshing, it's really an excellent tea."
Kuang Sisi said happily that this was the first tea of the year. Only the New Song Dynasty could eat the first tea so quickly in Chengdu.
Zhao Feiyan said proudly: "It's easy, it can be done as fast as you want. There is nothing that Shunfeng Company can't do." Sister Yuqi said that when the lychees in Lingnan are ripe, she will send some to Chengdu for tasting.
Damn, I want to eat fresh lychees.
If she really became the ruler of a country, she would be better than Yang Guifei.
However, Chengdu is much closer than Chang'an, and the road from Guiyang to Guangnan West has been repaired. If our King of Feiyan wants to eat fresh lychees, he can certainly do so, and the postmen who deliver the lychees don't have to work so hard.
Zhao Yulin smiled and nodded, telling them that the road to Xin Song would become easier and easier, and that many new things would be sent to Chengdu in the future.
At Jiuzhouba in Xuzhou, Shi's son arrived with his family and a group of officials.
The prefect Lu Youpeng received them in accordance with the requirements of the Chengdu Central Court and took them to Jiuzhouba for sightseeing and eating. When these officials saw the prosperous Jiuzhouba, they praised it repeatedly. They were unbelievably surprised to see the streets crowded with people and the shops filled with diners.
It was also the first time for Shi’s son to visit Sichuan, and it was an eye-opener to see such a bustling city.
In his opinion, Lin'an was prosperous, and it was only crowded during the Spring Festival temple fair. He never imagined that the small Xuzhou was like this every day.
The officials looked around excitedly and asked questions.
Lu Youpeng didn't like what Shi's son did, and he didn't like this group of people. He said indifferently that Xuzhou was just like this, and there were better ones. You will know when you go to Jiading or Chengdu. Chengdu is a big city with a population of more than two million.
Then he told his subordinates to arrange lunch and everyone went to the dock to eat firewood chicken, and then they could get on board and leave.
Lu Youpeng entered the store and ordered his subordinates: There will be enough grain.
The officials of Liangzhe were very happy to hear that Wugufeng was very expensive. Damn, Wugufeng is very expensive. We must have a good meal before leaving. After saying this, they all supported each other and left, praising Xuzhou as a good place.
In Danfeng Garden in Chengdu, Zhao Yulin was also accompanying Kuang Sisi to eat firewood chicken.
This woman did not like to show up in public. When Luo Mingqiu knew that she wanted to eat firewood chicken, he built a firewood stove with colored glaze in the backyard to fulfill her wish of eating firewood chicken.
Seeing that most of the food was cooked in the huge pot, Zhao Yulin asked Luo Mingqiu to invite the two fathers-in-law to join him for the meal.
Luo Mingqiu said in fear and trepidation that they were all slaves and how dare they dine at the same table with the king.
Zhao Feiyan immediately said that Eunuch Luo had forgotten that everyone in the New Song Dynasty was equal. When I was doing things in Guanzhong, I relied on Eunuch Luo's protection. In the end, Eunuch Luo was my benefactor, so why not?
Everyone is invited to dine.
Kuang Sisi also wanted to talk to Luo Mingqiu, so she laughed and shouted: Come here.
The three eunuchs then sat down tremblingly, and Zhao Yulin asked Ke Zhenxie to open a jar of daughter's red wine and start eating.
Luo Mingqiu told him that the chef was invited from Xuzhou and the food he cooked was authentic Yibin cuisine.
He laughed. These people always care about authenticity, but it is actually useless. If a dish is cooked in another place, how it tastes still depends on the taste of the locals and the changes in ingredients. It must be unique and cater to the tastes of the locals.
After dinner, they said goodbye and went back. Feiyan got in the car and fell into his arms and said that her mother had finally let it go. She looked very happy with a smile on her face.
Zhao Yulin scratched her waist and said with a smile that Madam Danfeng was not happy to have such an intelligent daughter of the state, so he didn't know how to make her happy.
The little woman enjoyed lying in Zhao Yulin's arms and let him tickle her. His claws began to explore upwards, upwards, and upwards continuously. Feiyan couldn't stand anymore, so she turned over and pressed him down...
In Shunfeng Division, the manager Dongmei was busy. A secret agent outside the city reported that eight fast horses had suddenly gathered in the small Wenjia Farm, which immediately caught her attention.
Shunfengsi had already received a secret report that the spies of the Grassland Empire had a secret hideout in Ximen, and Hulan's family letters were still delivered through this hideout. Although they had been doing things harmless to people and animals, there was no guarantee that they would not do something bad.
Wenjiachang is close to Huaxi Village where Zhao Yulin is currently conducting a pilot project, and has long been included in the monitoring scope of Shunfengsi.
Dongmei was very worried, in case these people were going to do something bad.
She asked her subordinates who were in charge of surveillance how the Ministry of Justice’s patrol and surveillance were going.
The report from my subordinates was quite thorough, and we even placed secret sentries around Huaxi Village at night, so it should be safe.
Dongmei said that they must not be careless, because the wives of Hulan and Aqian were in Huaxi Village, and they were the families of two important officials of the Central Court. She asked her subordinates to continue to monitor and respond, and to report the news secretly to the Ministry of Justice.
Meng Gong didn't dare to be careless when he learned that the Ministry of Justice wanted to strengthen the security of Huaxi Village. He hadn't seen his concubine for more than half a month, so he immediately packed up and left the city and headed straight for Huaxi.
As soon as Zhao Yulin and Feiyan arrived home, Lao Cao came to visit them.
As soon as they sat down in the small living room, Lao Cao couldn't wait to say that he planned to go to Guanzhong. The grassland empress's own son Guiyou will soon be back from nomadic travel.
Zhao Yulin said it was still early, and Guiyou would have to argue with his mother for a while when he came back. If they really wanted to go south to rob, it would definitely be after autumn. His troops had marched thousands of miles, and the men were tired and the horses were thin. They would not dare to start without eating some tender grass to replenish their bodies.
When Lao Cao heard his teasing, he immediately burst out laughing and told him that he didn't want to see Shi's son and his gang, and that out of sight, out of mind, he wanted to leave early.
Zhao Yulin said that they should meet each other before leaving. Last time, he had promised Ding Gong and the others to go for an outing in Qingcheng Mountain. It would not be too late to leave after the outing.
Lao Cao asked him: What happened to Li Yunqing on Tubo Road? Cao Yong escorted him to Queer Mountain and there was no news of him. What happened to this man?
Zhao Yulin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Yes, he hadn't heard from Cao Yong and his team for a while. Li Yunqing was suffering from tuberculosis, and Wang Hanchen went to replace him and returned under Cao Yong's escort. There was no news when the team reached Queer Mountain.
Zhao Yulin knew how difficult the journey was and it was winter, so he thought they would have to wait until winter before continuing their journey and didn't pay attention. But Lao Cao's words reminded him.
He told Feiyan: Ask Shunfengsi to contact Cao Yong and ask where they are.
Feiyan nodded immediately and said: I’ll arrange it right away.
Lao Cao was a little worried, afraid that something might happen to Li Yunqing.
Zhao Yulin assured him that Cao Yong and Yun Qing were brothers who had been together all the way to Tubo, and nothing would happen to them. Perhaps it was because the snowstorm in Queer Mountain was too heavy last year that they were unable to set off.
Old Cao asked him: How do you plan to place Cao Yong?
He said: It depends on Brother Cao's physical condition. If he is still able to work, I suggest that he be appointed as the deputy envoy of the Logistics Department of the Ministry of War, specializing in logistics planning in the Western Regions.
Lao Cao nodded and said that the brothers had survived a near-death experience in the battle against Tubo, and had suffered a lot, so he couldn't bear to let them go to the front line to lead troops to fight again.
Zhao Yulin told him: That's what he meant. He asked Lao Cao to go to the Ministry of War these days and give them some further advice.
Lao Cao said happily that with his brother who was as good as Zhuge Liang guarding the place, why would he need any advice?
Zhao Yulin quickly waved his hands and said: Thank you, Lord Cao, for your praise. I can't praise you enough. If you praise him any more, he will feel dizzy.
Both of them burst into laughter.
