Great Tang princess

Chapter 803 Dating
After returning to the Ministry of War, Li Yuechen immediately called a meeting of high-level cadres of the Ministry of War.

"This meeting is mainly to discuss who can go to Kurt to establish a garrison. After all, it is outside my territory of Tang Dynasty. In order to ensure safety and stability, at least one brigade is needed! Artillery, grenades and muskets must be fully equipped!"

In the conference room, Li Yuechen sat on the main seat, with his left leg resting on his right, and said slowly.

Hearing her speech, the others immediately began to discuss.

Plans in this area have been in progress for a long time, but it's really hard for them to say for a while.

Li Yuechen picked up the teacup, leaned on the back of the chair and took a sip: "Li Chongrun."

"To!"

"Military registration is also one of the businesses you are responsible for, let's talk about it in detail." Li Yuechen raised his chin.

There are left and right servants in the Ministry of War, and Li Chongrun is the left servant. He is in charge of military registration, maps and other aspects.

He has all the list information of all the personnel in the major military regions of the country here.

Except for the personnel information of the internal guards and hidden guards in the hands of the emperor and empress, as long as the other people have military status, the information must be with him.

Li Chongrun nodded in agreement, and said, "For a brigade of soldiers, you only need to choose a battalion from the Northeast, Yizhou, and Qingdao military regions. In this way, you can also avoid the lack of manpower in a certain military region..."

After all, it is a foreign country, and there is no way to recruit troops from the local area, so we can only let our own people go first.

As for the military region here, just recruit troops again.

Anyway, the military pay is high now, and there must be no shortage of people who are willing to sign up.

Li Yuechen nodded slightly: "This time, we must choose good players. Their mission, in addition to establishing a military region, is also to assist in the construction of an oil refinery and maintain regional security."

"Yes, as far as the officers are concerned, I have compiled a list for your Highness to have a look at." Li Chongrun handed over the documents in his hand as he spoke.

Because Li Yuechen had clearly stipulated that no affectionate titles could be used on formal occasions, so at this time Li Chongrun would also call her His Highness.

After picking it up and flipping through it casually, Li Yuechen nodded slightly: "Are there any other problems?"

The servant on the right, Yao Yuanchong, also handed over the folder in his hand: "Your Highness, this is the number of weapons that this subordinate has discussed with the logistics commander..."

Because Li Xian is the emperor now, it is not suitable for Li Xian to be called Second Highness.

In order to make a difference, people in the Ministry of War now call his position, that is, the commander of the General Logistics Department.

Li Yuechen took a look at it, and couldn't help frowning: "No, this amount is too small! Double it!"

"Doubling it again?" Li Xian, who was sitting next to Yao Yuanchong, immediately stood up and said, "Where did you get so much money? Last time in the Chongrun war, more than 200 boxes of grenades, [-] boxes of shells, and [-] catties of gunpowder were used! "

"Commander, I..." Li Chongrun wanted to explain.

"you shut up!"

Li Xian interrupted him before he could speak.

Li Chongrun had no choice but to close his mouth and sit down.

There is no way, although he is older than Li Xian according to his official position, but he is his uncle after all, and he is suppressed by blood.

"Excluding these, plus other consumption, based on today's banknotes, the last battle cost a total of 20 yuan! Is this a war or a waste of money?"

Li Xian was obviously agitated, and his voice raised a few degrees unconsciously: "I just take 20 banknotes and burn them one by one with a lighter, so it can burn a few sticks of incense, right? That's good." , One battle will be over! You fought well on the front line, but have you ever thought about the manufacturing hours..."

Li Chongrun turned his head helplessly when he heard his uncle chattering and complaining.

There is no way, after all, what people say is the truth.

He was in charge of the battle at that time, and no one knew better than him how many shells and grenades were consumed. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed a bit too much.

Li Yuechen also felt a little helpless, she was also there at the time, and it was really dark.

Thinking about it now, I'm really sorry for him.

"Okay, okay, let's let go of the past. Next year, I will pay for it myself, and I will add an extra sum of military expenses to the logistics side! Closer to home, the weapons and equipment of the Kurt garrison this time are indeed less, and they must be doubled!" Li Yuechen said very seriously.

Hearing that next year there will be an extra military expenditure for logistics, Li Xian didn't continue to struggle with the previous issues, and nodded in agreement.

……

The meeting of the Ministry of War is different from the court meeting, the time will not be too long, as long as the problem is solved.

It took less than half an hour, and a meeting was declared over.

But after the meeting, Li Yuechen left his nephew behind.

There were no outsiders, and Li Chongrun also resumed his usual address: "Aunt, is there anything else?"

Li Yuechen nodded slightly: "The group of old officers who followed me back then are not too young now. This time when I go abroad, I plan to let young people serve as the commander of the local garrison. Do you have someone to choose?"

The purpose of doing this is not that Li Yuechen doesn't trust his old subordinates, it's really because they are old.

Geng Yunqiang, Niu Ermao and his group will be 60 years old, so it is not suitable for them to go overseas.

Coupled with this era, anyone who has a cold or a headache may die, and coupled with the local conditions...

So after comprehensive consideration, Li Yuechen decided to send young people there this time. This kind of credit is also the most suitable for young people to earn.

Li Chongrun thought for a while: "The position of the commander of the military region is not so easy to do. My nephew suggests that we should choose someone with experience...but currently it is more suitable..."

Hearing his nephew's answer, Li Yuechen thought for a while, the commander level of the younger generation basically couldn't get away now, if he had to choose...

Now the most suitable one seemed to be chosen among Li Shouyi, Li Linghui and others.

These people are now at the deputy commander level, and they are competent in this area.

Li Yuechen didn't choose by himself, but wrote to a few of them and asked the pilot to send them over, asking for their own opinions.

As for the other low-level military officers, the kids who graduated from the military academy can choose some suitable ones and send them over.

In particular, Li Tang should be able to focus on training, and he will be the commander there permanently in a few years.

Li Yu is the grandson of his uncle Li Chengqian. After graduating from the military academy, he worked as a grassroots officer in Liu Huang's side, and now he has become a brigade commander.

So Li Chongrun was asked to issue an order to set off for Qingdao, and set off after waiting for the large troops to gather.

……

On the sixth day of June, the people of the whole city basically ran out of the city in Wuyang Wuyang, and the hot weather couldn't resist their enthusiasm.

The reason is simple, the second World Cup opens today.

It happened to be Saturday again, and the military department was also resting. Li Chongrun directly asked Lu Yao to watch the game.

It’s a bit funny to say, but now only the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Accounts have started to operate the week system, and the same is true for banks, which only handle deposits and withdrawals on Saturdays and Sundays, nothing else.

So these two people went out on a date, which made the officials in other departments somewhat envious.

The reason why Li Yuechen didn't let the court enforce it was because he didn't want to be criticized.

After all, Yushitai's gang of old-fashioned feudal thoughts are deeply rooted, and they deeply believe that etiquette is the most important thing in the world.

But it doesn't matter, just like when the army cut their hair, they don't force it, and when they can't stand it, they will naturally ask for it.

The stadium was quickly filled with people, but there were not many people in the VIP stands in the South District.

Originally, Li Xian wanted to come and watch the World Cup kick off today, but was persuaded by Wei Lian'er.

She said that the emperor had not been on the throne for long after all, so even if he pretended, he should look more diligent.

This time, she, the queen, will attend the opening ceremony on her behalf. He will go there when the finals are held, and then I will take a look at the closing ceremony.

Although Li Xian was helpless, he still agreed.

After all, they are now emperors, so they really can't be as capricious as before.

Wei Lian'er is actually not interested in football. The main reason for her coming here today was because she heard that her son was going to bring Lu Yao to watch, so she also came to participate and took the opportunity to observe her future daughter-in-law.

The opening ceremony began soon, and [-] teams appeared neatly on the court.

Then, facing the open stands in the southern area, at the same time, saluted that graceful and luxurious woman with different etiquette in each country.

At the same time, the audience also stood up and saluted the Queen.

Wei Lian'er raised her hand lightly, gesturing for the audience to excuse herself, and then sat down on the sofa.

The game officially started, and the two teams on the field, Dashiguo and Loulan, soon began to fight.

Some spectators held the lottery tickets in their hands, watching the game while waiting for the result.

On a seat in the southern area, Li Chongrun and Lu Yao sat side by side, chatting while watching the game.

"I heard that this football was changed from Cuju by His Royal Highness, so did His Highness play it when he was in the army?" Lu Yao asked.

Li Chongrun nodded: "Well, but I'm not very good at technology, I don't play often, do you like to play?"

"It's fine to play by yourself. Although I have learned some martial arts, I am not physically strong and I am not good at running. But I like to watch it." Lu Yao replied.

"Then I'll bring you here next time. It's interesting to watch different countries compete." Li Chongrun replied.

"Well, good." Lu Yao smiled and nodded.

On the other side of the stands, Wei Lian'er was holding a telescope in her hand, and had been watching her son's situation the whole time.

Seeing the two talking and laughing, Wei Lian'er also showed a satisfied smile.

Of course she knew her son very well. Seeing the smile on his son's face, she knew that he must like this woman.

And from the performance point of view, the woman seems to have feelings for her son, so there should be some drama.

……

After today's game ended, Wei Lian'er returned to Jixian Hall and trotted in.

In the hall, Li Xian was talking and laughing with several other concubines while practicing calligraphy.

Seeing Wei Lianer's return, the other concubines saluted one after another: "Sister is back."

"Ah."

Wei Lian'er promised, and quickly came to the table: "Your Majesty, there is a show!"

"Oh, you mean Run'er and that woman from the Lu family?" Li Xian put down his brush and asked back.

"No, my concubine is at the stadium today, observing secretly. The two of them are talking and laughing, like an old married couple. Why don't your majesty just give us a marriage!"

As he spoke, he took the teacup from the concubine next to him.

Li Xian picked up the health care ball and started to play: "Since the two of you are interested, let them decide for themselves. I'd rather not participate."

In fact, over the years, Li Xian has been greatly influenced by his sister, especially in thinking.

I dare not say that I have completely broken away from feudal thinking, but at least among them, there are many relatively open ideas.

And when they heard that it was Li Chongrun's matter, the other concubines also started to gossip, surrounding Wei Lian'er and asking questions.

Wei Lian'er was obviously in a good mood today, so she smiled and began to explain to them.

It has to be said that Li Xian's harem is relatively harmonious.

The main reason is that there are not many people, except for Wei Lian'er, there are only three concubines, and they often play mahjong together, so it can be said that they are very familiar with each other.

In addition, on weekdays, everyone could tell that Wei Lian'er was the most important thing for Li Xian, and the queen's position was unassailable, so naturally there were not so many intrigues.

After thinking about it, Li Xian waved to Sun Jingbang: "Go and call Run'er."

……

After the game, Li Chongrun and Lu Yao parted ways outside the court.

The main reason was that he had been in the army for a long time, and he was not used to riding in a carriage, so he came here on horseback.

And Lu Yao is not very good at riding a horse, so they separated here.

He had just returned to his mansion, and before he had time to get off his horse, he saw Sun Jingbang coming out of it.

"Director Sun?" Li Chongrun looked curious, "Grandpa, what do you want me to do?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I just came here and saw that His Highness was not there, and I was about to go back to report. Since His Highness just happened to come back, let's go into the palace with this old slave." Sun Jingbang replied.

"Okay, let's go together!"

Li Chongrun changed his horse and followed Sun Jingbang into the palace.

Came to Jixian Temple, after entering, Li Chongrun saluted: "I have seen my grandpa and grandma, several aunts."

"Run'er, come quickly!"

Wei Lian'er beckoned and called him closer: "Tell me, how are you getting along with that Lu family girl?"

"Very good, we made an appointment to watch the game together next time." Li Chongrun replied.

"It's so good, why don't you ask your grandpa to give you a marriage?"

Hearing that his mother was so anxious, Li Chongrun smiled: "Mother, I don't think there is any need to worry. We have just met each other not long ago. Why don't we learn more about it. I want to know that she is older than me, so I might as well take another look. If my son I really have a destiny with her, and I will come to beg Grandpa."

Hearing the logical rules of his son's answer, Wei Lian'er nodded: "Forget it, since that's the case, I don't care about it as a mother, I think my son should be able to make his own judgment."

"Well, don't worry, Ma'am!" Li Chongrun agreed in a very sensible way.

Li Xian held the health ball and leaned on the back of the chair: "Run'er, since you have your own ideas, you won't say much about being a father. But don't be too slow. After all, you are 19 years old and have no children. It is indeed... ..."

"Grandpa, don't worry, how old is the baby." Li Chongrun laughed.

At this time, it feels like grandpa has become like my aunt, who always seems to want to see the children get married earlier.

But he also knew that adults had good intentions, so he didn't hate this kind of urging, but found it quite interesting.
