Chapter 170 Manager Xu

Li Meng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, thinking that Huang Ping could see this, which was really not easy, but he didn't answer openly, just smiled and smiled.

Where are the outposts and sentries? Although there are clear texts on the military books and scriptures, the applications of each army are different and are confidential. Li Meng smiled but did not answer, and his identity was valuable. Huang Ping couldn't say anything, but just murmured and continued:

"According to the subordinates, there should be no less than three swimming secret whistles. This military camp is like a downtown city, but hundreds of soldiers are silent. The guards of the adults are so powerful!"

Hearing the other party's praise, Li Meng nodded and didn't say much. In fact, there should be six secret whistles outside. Four of them were discovered by this man, which was considered to be keen. Moreover, Huang Ping obviously regarded these 200 people as Li Meng's personal guards. Among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, those who were interested in training soldiers were usually given hundreds of personal soldiers.

However, according to the standards of this day, it is indeed unusual for hundreds of people to be as powerful as a military spirit. What people at that time saw were all the personal soldiers of the generals and generals. They were brave and brave, but they were also boundless and were difficult to restrain except for their own generals.

Since seeing that his sons had settled down, Li Meng gave up his worries. Li Meng really had no intention of continuing to watch such a casual military camp. He just felt that many thoughts suddenly burst out, and greeted Liu Qian and went back to rest together.

Before leaving, Mr. Qian saw that Huang Ping had a bad vision. He knew his own shortcomings, so why should he spread it to outsiders? Huang Ping seemed to have no feelings. His etiquette was quite solemn, which made Li Meng a little careful.

After resting overnight and dissipating his fatigue, Li Meng thought that since the matter was settled, there was no need to delay here and go back as soon as possible. But it was less than a day since he came to the guard house, so he was inevitably too rude to say goodbye. When he was about to say a word, Eunuch Liu sent someone to see him.

It was still the small courtyard yesterday, but this time there were more people in the main hall than yesterday. Judging from the appearance of the costume, he was also a eunuch. He was a round and fat man standing there smiling. When he saw Li Meng coming in, he bowed and said hello.

Li Meng was a little confused. He didn't know what the eunuch was. He nodded and went up to greet Eunuch Liu first. When Liu Fu saw Li Meng, he was completely the same attitude as the elders saw his nephew. His face was as smiling as a flower. When Li Meng sat down, he smiled and said with a smile:

"You are with me, and our family is always happy. I have been lonely all my life. When I get old, I still have a nephew. I really don't know if it was the blessing I had made in that life. But Xiao Meng, you are a general who leads the army and is too taboo to leave your post without permission. It's better to go back as soon as possible."

Li Meng was still worried about something, but he didn't expect the old eunuch to tell him. He quickly stood up and said a few polite words. Liu Fulai smiled and nodded, continuing:

"The place in Shandong is not rich, and you have a lot of expenses. But when you are in a military war, you always pay attention to armor and weapons. Otherwise, you will suffer losses when you go into battle. I guess your children are not rich either!"

In fact, I am quite ample, but at this time, don’t open your mouth and talk, and I heard the old eunuch continue to say slowly:

"There are several arsenals in Nanjing that support the supply of several provinces in the south. However, some of the households have been stored in the warehouse for a long time and are always rusted and worms that are unbearable to use. Our family thinks that there is always a use for you, Mr. Xu, do you think?"

But he asked the chubby eunuch directly. When the eunuch heard Liu Fu's question, he quickly stepped forward a few steps, bent his body, his face full of flattery smiles, and said:

"What the guard said is that those ragged goods are also wasteful when placed in the warehouse. They are all military supplies, and they can only be so rotten there. It would be better to use them for Mr. Li to do their best for our Ming Dynasty."

Eunuch Liu nodded gently, with a complimentary expression on his face, and said:

"Mr. Xu's thoughts are really loyal to the emperor and the country. This is the true nature of us as slaves!"

Turning his head and introducing to Li Meng:

"This is Xu Xiaochu, the chief supervisor of the arsenal of the arsenal. Today, some matters here need to be discussed with the Minister of War and the garrison. I'll ask General Xu to lead you to the arsenal to see what kind of use of scrapped armored weapons are there, and just take them back to Shandong for use."

The President Xu smiled and greeted Li Meng again. Li Meng was very surprised. He went to the arsenal to transport rags. Even if it was a worn-out product, there must be good things in it. If he spent some money here, he might get even greater gains. He immediately stood up with surprise on his face to thank him.

Eunuch Liu smiled and said a few words, then went out. Manager Xu waited for Eunuch Liu to leave, and hurried to Li Meng's side and spoke to greet him:

"It turns out that he is the nephew of the governor. With such a brave face, it will be guaranteed to be appointed as a marquis in the future!"

Li Meng hurriedly clasped his fists and said a few words of politeness. Manager Xu continued:

"If Lord Li is not busy, what can we do now? If the arsenal is completely transferred, would it take a lot of effort?"

"Then please wait for a while, and Li will be ready to come soon."

Li Meng hurriedly returned to his house first. Li Meng had heard about the arsenals in various places. For example, the eunuchs regarded the weapons in the arsenal as private property. If each military camp wanted to get weapons, they would not give you any money. If the money was not enough, they would give you any money.

Moreover, the maintenance measures in the arsenal are extremely poor, with rusty clothes and armor, poor weapons, etc., which are also one of the important reasons for the low combat effectiveness of the Ming army. However, it is a great opportunity for me now. I believe there are types of weapons I lack in the arsenal, and with the face of Eunuch Liu, I am spending more money here and I will get good things.

When he went out, he called Liu Qian and asked him to arrange people to go to the military camp to relocate his subordinates and then arranged for these subordinates to go to the place where he lived to get five thousand taels of silver and pulled them in a carriage and horse.

After finishing these things, it took half an hour to make a fuss. Li Meng and Mr. Xu were drinking tea and chatting without saying a word. Xu Xiaochu had a good temper and always had a smile on her face. In her words, she could tell that this fat eunuch was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, which made Li Meng amazed.

However, there was no friendship between the two parties, and everyone would not talk too deeply about issues. When the preparations were made there, the two of them set out from the guardian mansion.

Behind the guard house are the Imperial Guards and the dilapidated Nanjing Imperial City, which is the center of the entire Nanjing city. This arsenal is also an important place, and it needs to be in a relatively convenient place to transport, and the location is still a bit far from the guard house.

Li Meng was mentally prepared for the pace of life and work efficiency of the ancients. He said he set out early in the morning, but he rushed to lunch time. It was almost time for lunch. It was close to dinner. The world was the same as the world. Li Meng still understood it and asked with a smile and invited him:

"Mr. Xu must have not used wine and rice. Why not eat before leaving?"

Nanjing City is prosperous everywhere. They have only been away for half an hour. There is a very prosperous place in front of them. Looking at it, I don’t know whether it is the tributary of the inland river. This is somewhat similar to modern real estate speculation. Modern people claim to be river view and sea view, while Nanjing City has restaurants and brothels next to the river, which is also a modern concept.

On the other side, Mr. Xu's face twitched a few times. Li Meng could see this expression clearly. It was an expression that was reluctant to give up the pain of silver. Li Meng brought dozens of people, and Mr. Xu also had more than a dozen people. These people were eating in this restaurant that looked quite high-quality, which was not a small amount of expense.

Li Meng felt a little relieved. Since he was afraid of spending money and was so round, he must be a greedy and loving person. The more he did this, the greater the benefit he would have to go to the arsenal here. He had tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hand and had not spent it!

Thinking of this, Li Meng smiled generously and said loudly:

"Li is a crowded person and does not take advantage of Lord Xu. This meal is all made by Li. Come on, you can't rush to go hungry, right?"

When Li Meng said this, the embarrassing expression on Mr. Xu's face suddenly disappeared, and he just smiled and said politely:

"How can this make it happen, how can this make it happen, so many people."

However, there was no push. Fortunately, it was a little earlier at this time and there were no customers in the restaurant. When the restaurant owner saw that there were nearly a hundred people outside, he was happy that there was a big deal and greeted him repeatedly. Li Meng also "rudely" paid the money in order to awaken Xu Xiaochu's heart, which made everyone even more happy.

Before entering the restaurant, Li Meng felt a rare good mood. Looking at the scenery of this ordinary street in Nanjing, the weather was sunny and it was very comfortable for people to be on this street.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the house next to the restaurant. First, he ran out alone, and saw more than a dozen people chasing him. The man running in front was tall, wearing a short-clad blue cloth dress, running fast, and the people behind him were also not slow, and they were still shouting loudly:
Chapter completed!
