two seven three homecoming
...
On the early morning of September 24th, the outskirts of Shendu...
The flags cover the sun and the wind is strong. Nearly 40,000 troops from the Far East lined up in front of the city. Under the leadership of officers of various flag regiments, they were waiting for Liu Ce's arrival and were about to embark on a journey to turn around the Far East.
It has been more than half a year since early March. Now, the soldiers who went to the war are eager to return home and are eager to go home to reunite with their relatives. Although Shendu is good, this is not their own home after all. Moreover, the constraints of the rules and regulations in Shendu City are far less comfortable than those in Jizhou City.
Soon, in the look of the expectant eyes of the soldiers of the three armies, Liu Ce, Jiang Ruoyan, Xu Wenjing and Wei Ji walked out of the city gate together and slowly walked towards the three armies.
"well……"
Stepping out of the city gate, Liu Ce looked back at the towering city wall and couldn't help but sigh. In just a few days, he saw clearly the crises and risks hidden behind the city. Under the prosperous appearance, there was a corrupt system. The building of Dazhou was already full of holes. Even if the gods descended to earth, they were powerless to turn the world back. Perhaps only a small change would collapse...
"Mr. Governor, it's time to set off..." Xu Wenjing urged in a low voice, "The soldiers are all waiting anxiously..."
As he said that, Xu Wenjing also looked back at the capital gate, and at the same time said in her heart: "Next time when I return to this city, I will definitely get everything I want. Wei Ying, you must be lonely, wait for me, I will fill your emptiness, I can give you everything that Li Suwen can't give you..."
Liu Ce responded, adjusted his mind, held the iron sword hanging on his waist with one hand, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then walked towards the military formation waiting for Jiang Ruoyan.
"Mr. Governor~"
"Hanling Hou~"
"General Zhendong~"
As soon as he entered the three armies, cheers suddenly rose, and the sounds penetrated through the sky, as if endless.
Liu Ce raised his hand with one hand to stop the noise of the three armies. Then he glanced at Jiang Ruoyan beside him, smiled slightly, and then turned around and said loudly: "Soldiers, follow our military commander and go back to the Far East. It's been half a year. It's time for us to set off home!"
"Go home~Go home~Go home~"
The soldiers of the three armed forces roared excitedly again, and their faces were filled with expectations and desires for going home...
"Beat the drum~"
"Dong~Dong~Dong~Dong~"
"Blow the trumpet~~"
“Woo~~”
Nearly a thousand drums and roars were ringing. Under the dazzling sunshine, the Jingwei Camp's flag was waving in the wind. The soldiers who were returning home were filled with excitement. With the order of the generals in front of each formation, they turned around and took neat steps, and the journey that had always been here slowly...
"Ruoyan, it's thousands of miles back, and you're going to be burdened again..." Liu Ce took Jiang Ruoyan to her four-wheeled carriage and said softly.
Jiang Ruoyan smiled and shook her head and said to Liu Ce, "Husband, as long as you are by my side, what is the hardship of my life?"
Liu Ce helped Jiang Ruoyan's hand and helped her into the car and said, "Get on the car, the weather is getting colder. I have prepared some velvet blankets for you in the car, so don't get frozen..."
Jiang Ruoyan nodded, looked at Liu Ce affectionately, and then got into the carriage.
After closing the door, Liu Ce turned over and said to Xu Wenjing and Wei Ji: "Let's go, I hope everything goes well..."
Wei Ji smiled and said, "Mr. Military Governor, you are returning home in glory..."
Liu Ce shook his head: "What a glorious return home? The road ahead is still long. I don't know how Jizhou is now..."
Wei Ji said: "Mr. Military Governor, you have agreed to me. Before entering Yanyun Pass, you must go back to Gucheng first and bring all my family to Yong'an, Jizhou..."
Liu Ce nodded and replied, "Don't worry, since this military governor has promised you, he will naturally not regret it. However, before this, I am very curious about something. Prince, how did you ask the emperor to agree to let you go to Jizhou?"
"Hehe..." Wei Ji smiled, "Mr. Military Governor, do you want to hear the truth? I'm afraid you'll be angry..."
Liu Ce replied: "Will the prince still not know about his military governor? If the prince is inconvenient to say, I will just not ask about it..."
After hearing this, Wei Ji said to Liu Ce mysteriously: "After returning to the palace at night and night, I went to see the emperor's brother. I told him that you are now in charge of the heavy troops and no one takes care of him. I am willing to ask for the order to supervise the emperor's boss for him. As a result, my emperor agreed without saying a word. Hehe, it seems that this trick is still good..."
Liu Ce suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, you are indeed different from ordinary people. This military governor has convinced you..."
"Go too much, too much..." Wei Ji quickly smiled and waved his hand to stop Liu Ce's compliment, then kicked the stirrup and walked forward slowly.
At this time, Xu Wenjing took out a booklet and said to Liu Ce: "Mr. Military Governor, these are the names and quantities of armies in the court that they want to ask you about the names and quantities of armies you purchased. What are you going to do?"
Liu Ce glanced at the corner of his mouth and said, "Selling, why don't we do such an easy thing to make money? As long as the money and food are in place, I will sell them as much as they want!"
Xu Wenjing frowned and said to Liu Ce: "But Governor, if there are too many weapons sold, aren't they afraid that their strength will expand and pose a threat to us?"
Liu Ce shook his head and said, "Xu Wenjing, you are from a merchant family. Can you not see through such tricks?"
"I am stupid, please give me the advice of the military governor..." Xu Wenjing said hurriedly.
Liu Ce did not directly tell Xu Wenjing the reason, but said mysteriously: "I Supervisor ask you? How is the quality of weapons produced in the arsenal of our Supervisor's Office compared to those produced in those worlds or royal families?"
Xu Wenjing immediately said, "Of course, our military governor's office is sophisticated. Those weapons are all kinds of, but they are not useful, just like a pile of broken copper and iron, and the price is still expensive..."
Liu Ce nodded and said, "That's right. Any weapon armor in my arsenal, regardless of size, thickness, and materials, has its own standards. The errors between them can be said to be insignificant. The most important thing is that the price is fair, and a large number of purchases can also give more discounts. Why don't they buy the weapons and armor produced by the military supervisor's factory?"
Xu Wenjing thought for a while, but still didn't understand Liu Ce's intention. Then he asked: "Mr. Military Governor, I still don't understand what you mean..."
Liu Ce smiled and said with a smile: "I Supervisor asked you, if you were a merchant on this list and after purchasing a batch of military ordnance from this Supervisor, you found that the quality was better than yours, and the price was even cheaper than yours. What would you choose if you were to make it yourself or continue to buy it?"
Xu Wenjing said without thinking: "Of course I continued to buy it. The ones I bought are cheaper than those born on my own and the quality is much better. Why do you spend your time doing it yourself?"
Liu Ce nodded: "Yes, since the ones you make are not as valuable as those you buy, then who would be willing to make them by yourself?
Over time, they will become dependent on our military governor and abandon the craftsman workshops they ruled. In this case, do you think our military governor will be afraid that they will threaten me?
Just imagine that all the weapons in their army are provided by our military supervisor. Once they get into evil, they will immediately stop supplying their weapons. What can they do? What should they use to fight against our military supervisor? What's more, how can I sell the best equipment to them?"
After hearing Liu Ce's words, Xu Wenjing was shocked and sweated. She never expected that there were so many tricks in the military transaction. And according to Liu Ce's words, it would be like completely dismantling the other party's military craftsman system. What would you use to fight the military governor's office?
However, Xu Wenjing thought about it and asked a question: "But Governor, what should we do if the enemy also starts to imitate the weapons of our Governor's Office?"
Liu Ce smiled and said, "Military advisor, this military advisor said, will they still make their own products by themselves if the cost of imitation is higher than the purchase price? You must know that all the military equipment in the military factory under this military governor have strict standards, and they will never imagine imitating it in a short time.
Of course, what you said by the military advisor is reasonable. After all, blacksmiths need to be strong himself. As long as our military governor continuously improves the quality of military industry and strives to ensure quality, I believe that we will always maintain an advantageous position. What's more, weapons in war are always only auxiliary roles, and those who play the key role are all human-made!”
"I've been taught..."
After listening to Liu Ce's words, Xu Wenjing benefited a lot and felt that she had learned a lot of knowledge. If these strategies only play a tactical role, then Liu Ce would be farther than he thought, and could be described by strategic perspective.
"Mr. Military Governor, please wait..."
Just as Xu Wenjing and Liu Ce continued to think about the sale of weapons, a burst of rushing shouts suddenly came from behind.
The two looked back and saw a carriage galloping towards them quickly. Looking closely, wasn't that Wei Ying's royal car?
After the carriage approached, the coachman stopped the horse, and Wei Ying poked his head out of the curtain and looked at Liu Ce and said, "Mr. Military Governor, I was punished by my father and was specially sent to the Far East Border to serve as a military force for two years. Starting today, I will go to Jizhou with you..."
When Liu Ce heard this, he and Xu Wenjing were both stunned, and then hurriedly said to Wei Ying: "Your Highness, Princess, don't joke with this military governor. He has always been exiled to the frontiers, so how could a woman be the one who is in power?"
After hearing this, Wei Ying handed a copy of the imperial edict to Liu Ce: "If the military governor doesn't believe it, you can check it out yourself..."
Liu Ce looked at the imperial edict in Wei Ying's hand, and turned over and dismounted with Xu Wenjing. After taking it, he opened it and looked at it. Sure enough, it stated that it would ask Wei Ying to go to the Jizhou Military Governor's Office to serve as a military officer for two years. The bright red seal underneath was absolutely impossible to fake.
After closing the imperial edict, Liu Ce bowed to Wei Ying and said, "I am willing to take the blame. How dare you ask what mistakes the princess has made? Will you be sent to the border as a military force?"
Wei Ying said: "I violated the national law and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the retribution for the prince, because Lingwu's private military field was all based on my idea..."
"hiss……"
When Liu Ce and Xu Wenjing heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath. They took two steps back together, trying to stay away from Wei Ying.
This girl's movie is less than 16 years old. She has such keen government skills, which makes Liu Ce and Xu Wenjing, who has always looked down on women, feel a little afraid.
Seeing Liu Ce silent for a long time, Wei Ying suddenly smiled at him: "Mr. Military Governor, do you still remember the agreement between you and me on the Yulongxuan Tower the day and night before?"
"Agreement? What agreement?"
Liu Ce suddenly remembered that when he and Wei Ying were watching the night market scenery that night, they seemed to have really agreed to her, but who would have known that it would come true so soon...
"This time I have experienced the style outside the border, and I will also disturb the military governor..."
After saying that, Wei Ying pulled off the curtain and ordered the coachman to drive past Liu Ce.
"Mr. Military Governor, what happened to you and His Highness the Princess that night?" Xu Wenjing asked Liu Ce with a despicable expression.
"I am the Governor and His Highness discuss how to sew your mouth on! Get out!"
