The autumn wind suddenly picked up.

Inside the camp, Zhuo San looked at the banner of Huya Pass: "The seven famous checkpoints in Subei are arranged from north to south and west. Each pass is heavily guarded. The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is an important natural and dangerous place. Subei's vast territory and climate are also changeable. The climate has advantages and disadvantages for marching and fighting, so there is a saying that the time and place are beneficial to people."

Jiaqingguan was planted a second banner.

Lu Chengfeng looked calm, Zhuo San followed her movements, paused, and continued: "Miss Cheng Yao is playful and playful on the surface, but in reality she is decisive when encountering problems. This patrol seems to be to check the defense line of the checkpoint, but in fact, the master has a deeper meaning."

Lu Chengfeng said, "What's the deep meaning?"

"Ms. Cheng Yao is no more talented than Master. She has not been successful in the military camp these years. The inspection is very important. In the past, the four camp owners will go there in person. This time, it is all handed over to Miss Cheng. The master has already intended to hand over the North Camp to her. This is the attitude of the master. I also take this opportunity to avoid more people's doubts. I guess the master will go through with Miss Cheng Yao, and she will solve all the moths that came out during the inspection process."

Lu Chengfeng said: "You see more clearly than Qingfeng, it really takes years to experience this kind of thing."

Zhuo San shrugged, jokingly said: "Master, I am old with old arms and legs, how can I compare with Qing Feng and the others."

Lu Chengfeng smiled, twirling the third banner in his hand, and looked sideways: "I'm boasting that you are poor."

Lu Chengfeng said again: "You guess other people's thoughts are accurate, why don't you guess why I let you go together?"

Zhuo San paused, thought for a while and remained silent.

Lu Cheng didn't raise his head, and followed the route of the sand table to glance at the place, and another flag was inserted: "Why? Can't guess?"

Zhuo San looked hesitant for a while, and said with a slight hesitation: "The master asked me to follow, so that I can familiarize myself with the terrain of the Subei border, and also have an understanding of the generals and troops stationed at the checkpoint—"

And it all points in one direction.

Zhuo San said: "Master wants me to enter the military camp."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Although the imperial court's criticism has not yet come down officially, Cheng Yao and Du Rufeng are already the sure leaders of the camp. Two thousand Qingqi need a captain. You are familiar with military books and have extraordinary skills. You have followed me through life and death for more than a year. There is no one more suitable than you."

Zhuo San waited for this day for countless years. From the day he followed Hu Rong, he knew that he would never be able to join the battlefield like his father again in this life. However, the word fate has infinite magic power. When he saw Lu Chengfeng many years ago, he was shocked by the proud girl. He was depressed for many days, but was sent to Lu Chengfeng by Hu Rong many years later.

Seeing that Zhuo San didn't speak, Lu Chengfeng looked at him and saw that his expression changed repeatedly, his face was sad and joyful, and it was a little complicated. He didn't know whether he was willing or not, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "If you don't want to—"

"Yes!" Zhuo San suddenly bowed his hands, "Zhuo San thanked the master for his great kindness!"

Seeing his big gift, Lu Chengfeng laughed and said, "If you want to, why do you do such a big gift? I can still go back on my word."

Lu Chengfeng put down his things and said, "Go."

Zhuo San went out and went straight to the martial arts arena.

After a while, an order from Yanjing arrived. When Lu Chengfeng was injured, he proposed to submit a memorial, asking the court to allocate 30 taels of military supplies. The memorandum did not state the real intention. It only said that dredging the river and repairing the camp required silver taels. This proposal was opposed by many courtiers in the early court.

"However, the manpower and material resources required to dredge the river are only ten thousand taels of silver. The excuse of resting the camp is somewhat vague. According to Yi Chen, I would like to ask Mr. Lu to submit another copy in detail, and it will not be too late to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to review it carefully."

This is the common excuse of the Yanjing court when asking for money from various places. This time it took more than a month, and then it was submitted to the Ministry of Households to pick up such and other problems and suppress the money. Under the reform of the new law, everything has to spend money, and increasing income and reducing expenditure is a big deal.

Some people speak up, and others have seconded their opinions to express their attitudes.

Hu Rong is at the top of the list, and on his right is Tan Chengyi, who is now proud of the spring breeze, and to the right is Qiu Qionglin, Minister of the Ministry of War. He lowers his eyes slightly, which means that some things have nothing to do with himself.

Suddenly Tan Chengyi said: "What does Qiu Shangshu think?"

Qiu Qionglin subconsciously frowned, not quite understanding what Tan Chengyi meant, and answered after a moment of deliberation: "The old man thinks... thinks... the Holy Majesty's opinion shall prevail."

Hearing that he moved out of Qin Zhiheng, Tan Chengyi didn't care, and said gently: "Lord Qiu is the head of the Ministry of War. Although the allocation of military supplies is a matter of the Ministry of Households, it is related to the soldiers at the border, and it is also a matter of the Ministry of War. It shouldn't be a problem for Shangshu Qiu to discuss his opinions, right?"

Qiu Qionglin was not sure what Cheng Yi meant, nor what the person in the high seat meant. What kind of answer do you want him to give?
Do you nod or shake your head?
If he nodded, those few people had already taken the lead, so why bother to pull him in again?Does that mean he should shake his head?

Qiu Qionglin tilted his head slightly to look at Tan Chengyi, raised his hand up in a thoughtful manner, and said, "I think the 30 taels should be allocated!"

After a few glances.

Tan Chengyi said: "Please ask Qiu Shangshu to say something."

"Subei is originally a battlefield, and the loss is naturally higher than that of the other three places. In addition, the heavy rains and rivers have skyrocketed, and the construction of embankments is also a major event, and there is the matter of light crossbows—"

When Qiu Qionglin mentioned the light crossbow, everyone had different opinions. The emperor didn't ask about it, and no one mentioned it, so all kinds of speculations came.The new emperor seemed to be tolerant of Lu Chengfeng. From the fact that Lu Chengfeng dealt with Li Zhaozhong after a few words, it can be seen whether the emperor wants to punish him or not?Or who opened the mouth first to pierce this layer of window paper?

Qiu Qionglin said: "Lord Lu has returned to Subei for nearly a year. He has quelled the banditry and solved the displaced people in Subei because of the previous defeat, allowing them to make a living. Last month, he exposed the conspiracy of Li Zhaozhong and his gang. What he did was neat. It seems unreasonable for her to make such a contribution, and let people pay for it herself. Besides, the light crossbow was originally used for the military camp. The people of Subei will definitely say that the court does not welcome Subei. Complying with public opinion is also a big deal, and the Ministry of Finance should give it!"

Tan Chengyi smiled slightly, followed by saluting: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

Qin Zhiheng thought for a moment, looked down, and said, "Are there any opponents?"

Both the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War have let go of the word, Tan Chengyi is now receiving the grace of God, and no one wants to get into trouble with him, so everyone hangs their heads in silence.

Qin Zhiheng then said: "Since all the ministers have no objection, this proposal will be approved, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate the payment within two days."

Tan Chengyi came out and accepted the order with a respectful expression: "This humble minister accepts the order!"
