Evergreen Immortal.

Dazzling.

January passed.

Qinghe New City is still under construction, and the General's Mansion has been completed.

Only the imperial court could complete such a huge project in such a short period of time.

It's above the level official road.

An extremely long queue moved slowly.

There wasn't a caravan around.

Of course, the only way for the Yu State to monopolize official roads was the army. Official roads were originally used to transmit information and prepare for marches.

"General Cao, we are almost at Qinghe."

A middle-aged general said excitedly.

The city walls of Qinghe can already be seen in the distance.

An Ning Guard General Cao Wei, who was riding in the front, nodded.

"Has Jiang Linxian arrived in Qinghe?"

The middle-aged military general replied: "I heard yesterday that we just set off from Anning Mansion. It is estimated that it will take at least three days to arrive."

"Um."

Cao Wei hummed casually.

In the entire Anning Guard, there was only one Jiang Linxian that he could fear.

"Jiang Linxian"

Cao Wei whispered these three words.

He was not from Yunzhou, or even from one of the states within Annan Town, but from the capital city.

Originally a Yuanwailang of the sixth rank of the Ministry of War, under the instruction of the fifth prince, he was sent out to serve as a general of the fifth rank this time.

The officials in the capital are half-level senior.

But the pressure of competition is also great, and his status as the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry is not enough.

Strong generals must be born in the ranks of soldiers, and prime ministers must be sent to states and counties.

Cao Wei has always been an official in Beijing.

This time the fifth prince also had the intention of cultivating him. Only by supplementing his military experience would he be able to take the position of Minister of War one day.

That’s the benefit of having someone behind you.

Otherwise, how would a stupid boy know these twists and turns?

For truly powerful people, their promotion trajectory has been planned long ago, and every step is calculated.

So there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials.

Before leaving Beijing.

The fifth prince specifically told him to be wary of the Jiangdong Sword Immortal.

As far as he knew, Jiang Linxian had met the current emperor once.

This alone is enough to make him afraid. Not everyone is qualified to meet the Holy Emperor.

A quarter of an hour later.

Cao Wei led more than a thousand men and horses to the gate of Qinghe City.

There was already a large group of people waiting in front of the door.

Ning Zhongtian was on the guard, with the highest official position, standing at the front, followed by Wei Ming and Zhang Zhixian, then Yizhong officials from Qinghe, and officials from the Anning Guard such as Li Rui and Ge Hong were behind.

"General Cao."

Ning Zhongtian took two quick steps and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Um."

Cao Wei got off his horse, nodded slightly to Ning Zhongtian, and walked past Ning Zhongtian towards the county magistrate Zhang Rinkang.

What kind of person is Zhang Linkang?

He has been a county magistrate in Qinghe for more than ten years.

It was immediately understood that Cao Wei was deliberately snubbing Ning Zhongtian and wanted to give him a blow.

"Oops."

Zhang Zhixian's forehead was already sweating slightly.

I remember some rumors.

He understood that he had fallen into a dispute between big shots, which was an unreasonable disaster!

Ning Zhongtian looked at Cao Wei and smiled faintly.

This had long been expected by him.

"County magistrate, Zhang Linkang?"

Cao Wei asked.

Zhang Zhixian nodded repeatedly: "It's the official."

Cao Wei used to be a doctor in the Ministry of War and a serious official in the capital. He was a person who could not even be found in the capital when Zhang Zhixian went to the capital. Now he is a general in the fifth rank. He would never dare to offend him.

Cao Wei put his hands behind his back:

"Come on, show me how the new city is being built."

"Yes, yes."

Zhang Zhixian bowed his waist and nodded flatteringly.

There is no trace of Mr. Qingtian anywhere.

after.

The newly appointed General Cao inspected the new city before returning to the general's residence with satisfaction.

Send this uncle away.

Wei Ming then breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "What a great official power!"

Ge Hongshen thought so.

With a boss like this, life will not be easy in the future.

Ning Zhongtian patted Wei Ming on the shoulder: "We should feel more comfortable when Master Jiang comes."

He is Lei Yong's man.

Based on the relationship between Lei Yong and Jiang Linxian, in Cao Wei's eyes, he automatically became a member of Jiang Linxian's faction.

It's weird to be nice to him.

There will definitely be more trouble in the future.

Of course, with Jiang Linxian as a check and balance, it would be difficult for Cao Wei to go too far.

Their roles are just exercises for the adults behind them.

Li Rui didn't speak.

All in my mind was Cao Wei's golden appearance.

Originally, he thought that Jiang Linxian was already a money-making boss with his equipment, but compared to Cao Wei, he was even a bit weaker.

"It's no wonder he's from the capital city."

He secretly sighed.

"Let's go."

Ning Zhongtian was generous and sent Cao Wei away, and calmly led Wei Ming and others toward the military camp.

Said it was a military camp.

In fact, it is a large residential area.

These are places where the soldiers of the Anning Guard live.

There are more than a thousand people in the Anning Guard. There are five ordinary soldiers in one room, and officers above the flag are in one room. The higher the official rank, the larger the area of ​​​​the house.

Li Rui is in charge of food and is in the eighth rank.

The house he was assigned was smaller than when he was assigned to Qinghe in the Tiandi Alliance. After all, his official position here was the smallest.

Manage food.

As the name suggests, they are officials who are in charge of food and grass.

In ancient times, when marching and fighting, food and grass were the top priority. How could you win the battle without enough food?

This food and grass is not just wheat and soybeans, but also elixirs, exercises, weapons. There are so many oil and water that it is scary.

Of course.

These have nothing to do with Li Rui, a small food manager.

In short.

He is still a warehouse manager.

The right to distribute must at least reach the level of garrison to be qualified to make the decision. He is only responsible for registration. There are still a few food managers like him in Anning Guard.

Each of them is in charge of a warehouse, some are in charge of elixirs, and some are in charge of weapons.

Li Rui happens to be in charge of exercises.

"Could it be that I am destined to be the librarian?"

After saying goodbye to Ning Zhongtian and others, Li Rui returned to his house. Today was really a tossing day.

He just walked into the house.

"Old Li, you're back."

He heard Yang Yong's voice.

Li Rui moved to the new city, and Yang Yong and Wang Zhao naturally followed him.

Different from the border army.

There are only more than 20,000 people in Annan Town, and each garrison has about 1,000 people. This number is very different from the garrisons in the border counties, which have tens of thousands of people.

Of course, this is also because of different functions.

So although the Annan Army has a small number of people, they recruit elite soldiers.

It is not like the border army where anyone can join the army as long as they are willing to fight.

The treatment is naturally not ordinary.

Some senior officers are even allowed to keep concubines in their own houses.

As long as they don't interfere with their work, generally no one will care.

Life is very comfortable.

In addition, the reserves of elixirs and skills are even stronger than most sects.

If not, why would those people want to join the Annan Army?

It's because the treatment is too good and the status is high, which is the mother-in-law's favorite.
