spend time

As soon as the princess said this, Qin Zhan and the other two people were not uneasy, and each of them cheered up: "Don't worry, princess, the general will train his troops with all his heart."

"Princess, just wait and see! Our second battalion will definitely take the lead in the next martial arts performance."

Liu Hengchang, who has always been reserved and low-key, also made a high-profile statement today: "In addition to military formations, the third battalion will not lose to the first and second battalions in individual performance of martial arts and cavalry."

Qin Zhan and Meng Dashan both looked at each other with disdain.

Liu Hengchang raised his eyebrows and smiled, answering calmly.

Jiang Shaohua saw it in his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

As a lord, you have to control a group of arrogant soldiers. How can you do it without thinking about it?

After Qin Zhan and the others left, Song Yuan whispered: "The princess has conquered Liu Hengchang."

Jiang Shaohua thought for a while: "It doesn't count now. When one day, he takes the initiative to fight for it, he will be completely satisfied."

Song Yuan laughed: "That day won't be too far away."

Jiang Shaohua's eyebrows curved and he also laughed.

She patrolled the counties in Nanyang County, and she was domineering and unfavorable. First of all, it was because of her status as the princess. The second and most important thing is that she has two thousand loyal soldiers under her command. Wherever she points her hand, the guards will swarm forward and flatten the front.

Therefore, the Tang family and the Ma family quickly knelt down, and the eminent monks of Baiyun Temple also took the initiative to bow their heads.

The Nanyang Army is now back under her control. In the future, as the army is slowly being trained and expanded, she will have more people available for her use.

However, raising so many soldiers is also a heavy burden for Nanyang County.

Thinking of the drought, locust plague and famine that will come in the next two to three years, Jiang Shaohua couldn't help but sigh. Song Yuan's mind was sharp and he immediately guessed what Jiang Shaohua was thinking: "Is the princess worried about the money and food for raising soldiers?"

"Silver is not a problem." Jiang Shaohua whispered: "We can send more people to the silver mine. However, in a year of famine, no amount of silver is useless."

After all, food must grow in the ground to survive.

Song Yuan said: "Every county is building granaries, and the next step is to buy and store grain. The princess has already ordered the Tang family to buy grain. No matter what, it is always a good thing to prepare more grain."

Jiang Shaohua nodded.

Moving a military camp is quite complicated. You have to bring bedding and luggage, weapons, horses and armor, and the kitchen and military doctor have to be divided into three.

Sun Guangbai, Sun Zelan's brother and sister stayed together, and in the kitchen, newly married Bao Er and Fang Niang also stayed.

Speaking of which, the Third Battalion, which remained unchanged, took advantage.

Liu Hengchang's subordinates all smiled happily, and his confidant Huang Xin smiled beamingly and said: "The princess treats our third battalion really well. I always thought before that our third battalion must be moving away! I never expected that the princess would let us We stay.”

Liu Hengchang glanced at Huang Xin: "The princess treated the Third Battalion so favorably, do you know what to do in the future?"

"Of course!" Huang Xin straightened his back: "From now on, we will listen to the princess in everything. If the princess asks us to go to the mountains of swords and seas of fire, we will not hesitate."

Civil servants pay attention to character, while generals pay attention to loyalty.

Half a year ago, when everyone mentioned the young princess, they all felt unconvinced and murmured to themselves. It's different now, every princess is one of us.

Liu Hengchang glanced around and laughed.

Not only them, but also himself, he is also very motivated now!

……

A few days later, the princess led two hundred soldiers back to the palace.

It only takes half a day to travel from the Guards Camp to the Royal Palace. Everyone in the palace had already gathered at the main entrance to wait. Seeing the flying dust and the sound of horse hooves in the distance, Feng Wenming and Feng Changshi were the first to relax their brows and turned to Yang Zheng, Chenmu and others: "The princess is finally back! "

Yang Zheng, who was picked up and ran away twice, laughed and said, "The princess has been patrolling the counties for the past six months. It's been really hard."

Chen Mu, who had lost weight again, remained silent as usual.

Beside Chen Mu, stood a handsome young man of short stature, it was Cui Du.

In the past six months, Cui Du has become taller, his face is slightly plumper, his dark eyes are smiling, he is easy-going and lovable.

Waiting to welcome the princess back are Lu Junma and Aunt Mei's mother and son. Since returning from Ye County, Junma Lu has rarely been seen in front of people. I didn’t even go to my favorite literary gatherings and stayed in the study every day.

When he appeared today, Lu Junma's skin was much whiter, with a gentle and decent smile on his face.

"Mom, is the Princess Princess back?" Lu Ruohua raised her head and asked Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei hummed, stretched out her hand to touch her daughter's face, and whispered: "You must bow and greet the princess later."

Lu Ruohua nodded obediently.

There is no need for Lu Ying to give instructions.

Lu Ying is very smart and precocious. After returning from Ye County last time, I was keenly aware of the subtle changes in my father and mother. My father didn't like to see people, and the number of times he lost his temper suddenly decreased. My mother is much more calm.

First, a dozen horses stopped, and then several carriages came slowly.

Jiang Shaohua got off the first carriage.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Changshiwen, Chief Secretary Chen Sheren and Ma Sheren got off the carriage one by one, and together with Song Yuan, they surrounded the princess to the main entrance.

"I respectfully welcome the princess back." Feng Changshi led the crowd to welcome him.

Jiang Shaohua chuckled lightly and reached out to help Feng Changshi up: "In the past six months, my princess has been away from the mansion, and all the trivial matters have fallen on Feng Changshi. Thank you Feng Changshi for your hard work!"

Feng Changshi endured the excitement of meeting again after a long separation, and responded with a smile: "It is really hard for the princess to be away from home. It is also right for me to share the princess' worries."

Then, he said to Chen Changshi: "Chen Changshi has lost some weight."

Chen Zhuo said with a self-deprecating smile: "A handful of old bones can hardly bear the bumps on the road. Next year, we will let young people patrol with the princess."

Feng Changshi had actually noticed the two young men beside the princess.

Chen Jinyu is a familiar face, and the other handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen years old should be the Mashe man mentioned in Chen Zhuo's letter.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and greeted Shen Mu, who had been busy in the workshop: "In the past six months, Engineer Shen has been busy making new shaft plows. Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Mu held up his hands and said, "The Princess' words are serious. The workshop has lived up to the Princess's high expectations. In the past six months, it has produced 500 pairs of new shaft plows. They have been distributed to various counties according to the Princess's arrangement."

Five hundred pairs is certainly not enough. However, there are only so many craftsmen in Nanyang County. If we want all the people to use the new shaft plow, the workshop will have to be busy for another year or two.

Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly, then suddenly turned to ask Chen Changshi: "The new shaft plow has been sent to the court. Has the court begun to promote it?"

Chen Zhuo sighed: "It can't be that easy. I heard that the Ministry of Industry has been studying the drawings after getting the new shaft plow. It will take at least two or three years to wait for manufacturing and promotion."

There is no doubt that this is the efficiency of the court's work.

If you want to do something, you must first suppress all objections and cut off the hands that are stretched out overtly and covertly.

This is how the party's struggle harms the country.
