Chapter 51 The New General
What the emperor thought was that Huo Rong would be relieved to go to Huzhou to watch the water transport, but what Huo Rong thought was to meet Shen Changying again...

As for the fact that I had just planned to go back to the road with her, and then I was going to be a colleague with her again in the blink of an eye——

Originally, in his opinion, the grievances and grievances between the two were wiped out after parting in Changxing, and parting ways from now on was the final outcome. Who would have thought that——

But this matter was decided by the emperor, and he really couldn't push it away.

The story of Changxing has been circulating in the guard for almost half a month, and various speculations have been circulating.

Changying's voice was indeed a bit loud, especially after Tan Shao had come back and recorded the credit for her, and Shaoqing and Zhou Liang and Huang Ji who had gone with him also recorded a sum of money, the Shen family's daily tea for guests was even worse. Usually doubled.

However, she had expected this, and had never been affected by it.

Then there was new news from Changxing, the emperor had sent an imperial envoy to escort Cheng Xiao, and it was said that he would enter Beijing in ten days or so.

The letter asking Shaoqing to send it back was also sent that night, so the capital thinks there will be no problem.

But she was still a little uneasy in her heart, always felt that once Cheng Xiao tore apart her life experience, some things were always not so secure.

If by any chance Ling Yuan finds out... Questions like these are really troublesome, and I can't help but spend some time thinking about them.

This day, after finishing military training in the school grounds, I went back to the government office to rest. Just as I sat down on the bench with a cup of tea, a soldier came over and said, "General Shen, General Xu sent me a message, please go to his office." go there."

She paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Xu Lan seemed to have said before that she was looking for something, but she had completely forgotten about it.

All the generals from the fifth rank and above in the guard had a place in the government office, Xu Lan was not a low-ranking general, and the office was located between the low-ranking generals like Tan Shao and Changying, and Su Huan and the others had a place.

When Changying arrived, Xu Lan was looking at the weapon in front of the weapon rack.

After the long entourage in front of him reported, he turned his head with a smile: "Come in and sit."

Chang Ying sat down at the desk and looked at him suspiciously: "What's the matter with General Xu looking for me?"

Although he is her superior, he is not directly subordinate in terms of military affairs, so there is basically no possibility of discussing normal official affairs.

"It's really important." Xu Lan poured a cup of tea for her and said, "A few days ago, there was news from the former military governor's mansion, have you heard about it?"

Chang Ying didn't hear, Fu Bei shook his head.

"The Ministry of Households allocated a sum of money a while ago. In order to transport more grain and grass, several water transport terminals on Jiangnan Road needed to build a batch of water ships. The former military camp ordered Nankang Wei to form a team to take charge of this matter. I was fortunate to be selected by General Tan. As one of the commanders.

"And now I need to pick a few lieutenants. I came to you just to ask if you have the willingness to work with me in the Supervisory Department?"

Xu Lan, who was opposite the desk, smiled slightly, with a little narrowness in his eyes.

Chang Ying did not hear the news.

"When did it come?"

"Just in the morning, when you went to the Qianhu Office to train soldiers." Xu Lan held up the cup, "This errand doesn't involve any danger, and you don't have to leave home. Once you do it, you can still get credit for it. If you don't go, it will be a waste of money." Chance."

Listening to his words, it seems that she is eager to make contributions and no one knows...

Changying responded with a dry laugh.

But having said that, water transportation is related to the transportation of people's livelihood such as grain, grass, silk and satin from the north to the south, and because it occupies a favorable position, it has played an important role in past wars and has always been an important military position.

There is not a small amount of money spent on water transportation every year, and the generals of the guards in various places also make achievements through water transportation from time to time. There is indeed no reason to refuse such a good thing now.

But she is waiting for the promotion opportunity in May. As far as she knows, the promotion span of that time is the largest to allow her to be promoted to a general - of course, this possibility is relatively weak.

But it is absolutely no problem to be promoted to the fifth-rank Qianhu, and if you don’t do it, you can be a guerrilla general or something. If you go to the Supervision Department, the promotion in the Qianhu Office has nothing to do with her...

"Changying, after the Changxing case, I believe you don't need me to tell you how important the Water Transport Wharf is. Do you think it will be difficult for you to get promoted if you get things done at the wharf?"

When Xu Lan said this, his expression was serious. "I can see that you are ambitious in this regard, such a good opportunity, why don't you give it a try?"

Chang Ying raised her eyebrows with her chin propped.

The Water Transport Department is now controlled by relatives, so the East Palace can be like a fish in water.Even if the emperor can't pick up the prince this time, the water transportation side will definitely be used to scare the chickens and monkeys.

Under such circumstances, the emperor wished he could bring a few more people out as benchmarks, so that any small meritorious service could be doubled.

What's more, this is still doing things according to the emperor's will - no matter what, the one sitting on the dragon chair is still the prince's father, not the prince.

Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed far more far-sighted than entanglement with a guerrilla general or even a small fifth-rank.

In this way, she put down her hands and said with a smile: "Thanks to General Xu's support, the last general is willing to wait for orders."

Xu Lan smiled and said lightly, "You."

After finishing talking about the scene, Chang Ying thought for a while, and then asked again: "I just heard what you said, it seems that there is more than one supervisor and commander, who else is there?"

"Indeed there are more than one." Xu Lan nodded, "Besides me, there is also General Li from our guard.

"In addition, there is a new transfer from the former barracks. It is General Zhaoyi who has made great achievements in Dongningwei. It is said that he is also a prominent general."

In order to prevent military generals from raising private soldiers, the court often transfers positions.

The construction project is huge, and it will take at least a year or two to build a tank boat. It is inevitable that such generals will be promoted and transferred. In order to take over the business smoothly, it is necessary to assign a few more supervisors to follow up.

Changying didn't expect that there would be a supervisor transferred from outside, and asked him, "When will this General Zhaoyi arrive?"

"It is said that we are already on the way." Xu Lan tapped his index finger on the rim of the cup, "I will arrive at the camp in two days."

... Sure enough, in the afternoon, there was a lot of news about the shipbuilding at the dock.

There were also quite a few people who came to ask Changying about the news, but since Changying hadn't announced it yet, he couldn't disclose it for the time being.

Although the construction of the wharf is not as fast as the credit for suppressing the bandits and driving the enemy, it is stable, and it is generally a good thing to be transferred to the construction supervision department.

Mama Wu and the others were all happy, but because it was a good thing, naturally many people also stared at this post.

Su Xinrong heard the news from Su Huan that evening.

"Brother Lan wants to be the supervisor?"

She expressed surprise in Su Huan's study.
