Chapter 782: Arranging troops
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's words full of helplessness, Wang Xinran smiled and said, "You have been bitten by a snake for ten years and are afraid of the ropes."
"This is not a snake bitten by a single moment. This debit note has already tricked me..." Wu Zhongyuan stopped here. He said this. It seemed a bit arbitrary. Although the Northwest Ancient Tomb hidden in the wormhole and the underground illusion transformed by Zisu's spiritual energy indirectly caused him a lot of trouble, it was not like a trap deliberately arranged by the enemy.
After pondering, Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and said, "Let's wait for this matter first. Now you don't have time to do that. Don't rush to the arsenal. You have to hold a elixir distribution ceremony the day after tomorrow. You must not be absent."
"Okay." Wang Xinran nodded in agreement.
"Let's go, it's getting late, go back to the harem for dinner." Wu Zhongyuan stepped towards the palace gate.
Wang Xinran followed Wu Zhongyuan out of the Zhongtian Hall. When Jiang Dahua and others, who were in charge of security outside the Dan Hall, saw the two of them coming out, they all came forward to greet each other and greeted each other.
Wu Zhongyuan told everyone about his hard work, and then exchanged a few greetings with the two elderly couples who were waiting outside the Dan Hall who borrowed the Dan Hall, and then entered the Dan Hall to inspect the cracks on the Dan Hall.
In modern terms, the air pressure inside the Hunyuan tripod is very high. If it is in a high pressure state for a long time, cracks on the body of the tripod are inevitable. As long as there is no air leakage, you can continue to use it.
After inspection, I felt that the alchemy cauldron should be able to last until the remaining few pieces of materials were refined, so I left the alchemy palace and went to the harem with Wang Xinran.
When he arrived, Wang Xinran said, "Don't eat in the Central Palace, go to the East Courtyard. You haven't been there for a long time. Go and say hello."
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer the conversation immediately. He did not answer the conversation because he did not want to go, but because he was not sure whether Wang Xinran's words were sincere.
Wang Xinran guessed what Wu Zhongyuan thought and said casually, "It's not easy for Wu Qing. She is very virtuous and understands the rules. As long as I'm in the palace, she will come to pay her respects every day. She is very good at it. Don't ignore others."
"Is Wu Di and Jiang Nan good?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.
"These two are OK," said Wang Xinran. "Wu Di is very smart, but she never plays tricks on me. Jiang Nan respects me very much. None of the people you are looking for are disgusting, pretentious, and intrigue-making. I don't hate it."
While the two of them were talking, Wang Xinran raised his hand and pointed to the East Courtyard, signaling Wu Zhongyuan to go there, and then continued to go north to the Central Palace.
Wu Zhongyuan was about to go to the east courtyard, but Wang Xinran turned around again, "Wu Qing's spiritual cultivation is too low. You have so many elixirs in your hand, so you might as well give her one."
"She is different from you. If you don't like to participate in these things, it's a waste to give it." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said.
"That's not necessarily. You didn't give her a chance to participate," Wang Xinran said, "You go, I'll go to the Yichang to see my dragon horse after dinner."
After Wang Xinran said that, he turned around and left. Wu Zhongyuan turned to the East Courtyard. On the way to the East Courtyard, he considered what Wang Xinran said before. What Wang Xinran said was not without reason. He should consider promoting Wu Qing's cultivation. Even if she did not need to participate in the war, she could at least protect herself in an accident.
When he went to Hyundai last time, he possessed a pug. After he came back, his soul returned to his original body. The pug has been adopted by Wu Qing and started in Daze. After entering the palace, he brought a bear. As soon as Wu Zhongyuan entered the gate of the East Courtyard, the pug shook his tail and greeted him.
If conditions permit, you still have to keep a dog. If there is a dog, you will be able to keep theft. It not only prevents theft, but also feels very good when you are greeted when you go home.
There is no gong hanging at the entrance of the East Courtyard. If there is no gong hanging, it means that Wu Qing is not convenient for him to take over and sleep. Wu Zhongyuan doesn't feel disappointed. After he becomes Taiyuan, his desire has not disappeared, but his self-control ability is getting stronger and stronger, and he will never be in a state of passion, irritability and anxiety.
Wu Qing was having supper when he heard the barking of the pug. The maid opened the door to check the truth. While the maid opened the door, Wu Qing saw Wu Zhongyuan and hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks and came out.
She didn't see Wu Zhongyuan often. When she saw Wu Zhongyuan coming, she was very surprised and squatted and saluted with a little shyness.
Wu Zhongyuan helped Wu Qing up and took her hand into the main house. There were bowls and dishes on the table. In addition to rice porridge, there was also a plate of sunflower and a plate of sauce-fried beans. It was very simple and there was no meat.
In ancient times, there were very few varieties of vegetables, with only five common ones: sunflower, aquamarine, scallion, onion and leek. Sunflower was not modern okra, but a green leafy plant, which was somewhat similar to spinach. At this time, there was no Chinese cabbage, and sunflower was the main vegetable.
Agastache is the leaves of beans, and Agastache is the beans, and you can pickle them and serve them with rice.
Shrimp is a bit like modern wild garlic, and to be honest, it is not very delicious.
Onions and leeks are modern onions and leeks, but the taste is different from modern onions and leeks. They are very spicy and spicy. If you eat them raw, you can only eat them with fried food.
Wu Zhongyuan is here, and he must have added dishes. Wu Zhongyuan ordered it himself. At this time, there was already tofu, but it was not the white and tender tofu in later generations, but it was between bean paste and tofu, more like fermented tofu, not a regular piece, but a jar, dig a spoon when you want to eat it.
Wu Zhongyuan ordered tofu, venison and a plate of purple sweet potato. In ancient times, people were used to drinking porridge. Wu Zhongyuan retained the eating habits of modern northerners. He liked to eat dried ones, so he asked for scones.
Although Wu Qing was virtuous and gentle, he was not the kind of weak and sick little woman in later generations. When the meal was delivered, Wu Zhongyuan asked her to eat it with her, and she ate it. She was neither chewing it carefully nor swallowing it voraciously. It was very ordinary and comfortable.
During the meal, Wu Zhongyuan asked Wu Xuan about the situation. Wu Xuan was Wu Qin's son and his brother-in-law. This little guy liked to pretend to be a tiger. According to Wu Qing, Wu Xuan was very familiar with Jiang Dahua's son in school. He was not too arrogant, but he must have been arrogant.
Wu Zhongyuan was not disgusted with this, at least not very disgusted with it. The royal relatives are royal relatives, and they cannot act recklessly, but there is no need to approach people.
It is already late autumn and the weather is getting colder. Wu Zhongyuan rewarded some leather and cloth and silk to Wu Qing, and also rewarded two thousand coins. In fact, the concubines in the harem all have basic support. Wu Zhongyuan rewarded them as additional gifts. Wu Qing can give them to relatives and friends, or to his servants.
Wu Qing was a little nervous about Wu Zhongyuan's reward, and Wu Zhongyuan did not hide it. He only said that he had been busy with government affairs recently and neglected her, and felt so guilty.
Wu Qing said that he was mediocre and incompetent, and he would only increase his burden and not share his worries.
Wu Zhongyuan remembered Wang Xinran's previous words, so he rewarded Wu Qing with a Taixuan Ling Pill and assigned an errand to supervise the Academy and Fushou Academy.
This errand seems simple, but it is actually extremely trivial, because the elderly and children are the most difficult to manage, especially these elderly and children are relatives of the lords of various Dayuan City.
When he came, it was time to enter the update. After dinner, he had a cup of tea, and left after less than the second update. After a while, he came back. He went to Xinyue Island and brought some fruits back. At this time, the supplies were scarce. There were fresh fruits on Xinyue Island all year round. After the monkey died, Xinyuehu also had very little food. He would occasionally pick some to give it to others, so it was more convenient to be able to teleport and come and go.
Leaving some fruit for Wu Qing, Wu Zhongyuan went to the Central Palace again and sent some to Wang Xinran, and finally took the rest to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
During the day, his conversation with the old blind man was interrupted by Wang Xinran. He came here to continue to discuss government affairs with the old blind man. In addition to the three hundred purple air spirit pills needed by the Golden Bear Wizard, the Taurus Warrior and the Golden Crow Warrior, there was still a lot of purple air spirit pills left in his hand. What he asked the old blind man to discuss this time was how to distribute the remaining purple air pills to the seventy-one walled cities under his jurisdiction.
Seventy-one walled cities need to be discussed one by one, and all aspects need to be weighed, which is extremely cumbersome.
The old blind man first proposed to add an auxiliary city to the west of his own Bear City. As the name suggests, the so-called auxiliary city is an affiliated city of Youxiong. Youxiong was originally the capital of the Bear tribe. After the three tribes were unified, various institutions were added in large quantities, which seemed very crowded. Some people and some not very important functional departments, as well as the residences of middle and lower-level officials of each department could be transferred to the auxiliary city.
The vacant places were built to build three barracks, located in the south, west and east of the palace. They could guard the imperial city in normal times, and could gather quickly during wartime, or go to the battlefield in person, or run by Wu Zhongyuan for a thousand miles to teleport soldiers from afar.
Wu Zhongyuan agreed to the suggestion of the old blind man, and the name of the auxiliary city was directly designated as the Dafu, and Wu Ji, an assistant to the Ministry of Justice, also served as the city lord.
In this way, the cities of the bear clan expanded to eighteen, twenty-four bird clans, and thirty-four cattle clans, totaling seventy-two.
In addition to these seventy-two walled cities, there must be added mermaid clan, the barbarian clan in Yu Qingdu, the high-sported werewolf clan, and the black widow's Yinmahe tribe. These tribes have actually joined the Central Plains and have to be considered when distributing elixirs, otherwise they will appear to be favored by one and the other.
Governing the country is the most laborious. These seventy-two walled cities must be equipped with main and deputy city lords. Especially when the war is about to come, the deputy city lord is particularly important. If the city lord dies in battle, the deputy city lord can also perform his duties as a substitute.
Since the three tribes were originally hostile to each other and had deep grudges. Although the conflicts eased a lot after he ascended the throne, there were still more or less old grudges between the major city lords. Before this, a large number of city lords were killed in battle. At present, two princes temporarily appointed warriors as substitutes in the city. Since he had not received his official appointment, these people could be adjusted before the official appointment. At this time, Wu Zhongyuan and the old blind man discussed this matter. It would be difficult to make the city lords of the three tribes unite and be in harmony in a short period of time, but at least they cannot be allowed to be in the same power and fire, and they will not be saved in a critical moment.
The focus of the negotiations between the two was the distribution of the purple Qi Spirit Pill and the appointment of the city lord. In principle, respect the opinions of the two princes Li Tai and Jiang Zhen. Their proposed that the city lord should not be changed as much as possible, but the ones that must be changed can only be changed, because the personnel arrangements made by the two at this time were to arrange troops and arrange troops soon, which will soon be the upcoming six melee.
In addition, the two princes, the barbarian tribe, the mermaid tribe, the wolf tribe, and the Yanmahe must also give a certain amount of spiritual pills to the people below. These people are more special and must give them a certain degree of autonomy.
It was not until the fourth update that the tone was roughly set. Wu Zhongyuan stood up and said goodbye, and the old blind man sent him out in person.
"I want to go out. I can't get back in the morning court. You can do political advice on your behalf." Wu Zhongyuan said.
The old blind man nodded and agreed, not asking him where he was going.
It is wise for the old blind man not to ask, because even if he asks, Wu Zhongyuan will not tell him the truth. The old blind man has always tended to use troops to the beast tribe, while he wants to go to the beast tribe altar to have a head-on contact with the beast king.
