Unparalleled Concubine

While the two of them were talking, they had already reached the back door. On the street outside the back door, there were 28 carts parked. Next to each cart, there were about a dozen black-clothed Habayashi guards. , walked to the side of one of the carts, pulled out a standard long knife from it, and threw it to Zhongheng.

Young Master Zhong pulled out the long knife with a "clang", first tapped the blade with his hand, heard the sound in his ear, then looked at the blade against the light, and then said something with a sigh.

"Good knife."

After finishing speaking, Young Master Zhong climbed onto the cart by himself, pulled out six or seven carts in one go, and looked at each of them. Then he raised his head and smiled at Li Xin.

"Hou Ye is right. The Military Supervisor is very willing to use materials. These knives are very good. Compared with the current sabers in Yunzhou City, they are a whole grade better."

Lord Jing'an smiled and said: "When they delivered things here that day, I was so drooling that I almost wanted to buckle dozens of them."

Li Xin was also a military commander. He has been in the army for many years, so he naturally loves knives.

Zhong Heng hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why don't I leave fifty for Lord Hou tomorrow?"

Li Xin smiled and shook his head.

"It's just a joke. You don't want to harm me. After all, I'm also the Secretary of the Ministry of War. I have these things in my hands. If some of them are left behind, I will be indisputable if the people from Yushitai pursue them. "

Young Master Zhong grinned at Li Xin.

"Are you still afraid of the people from Yushitai?"

"Why not be afraid?"

Lord Jing'an said solemnly, "As long as you are an official in the court, you will be afraid of Yushitai."

Zhong Heng didn't say yes or no, just smiled: "I'll take a look at the armor, bow and crossbow again."

Originally, he was just a delivery man and had no right to inspect it, but because this batch of ordnance was delivered to Yunzhou City, that is to say, to his family, this young master was so concerned and came to inspect it in person .

Like an old man, Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves and said calmly.

"It's just random."

Zhong Heng also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he was very agile in reaching out his hands. He jumped up and down on several carts a few times, took out some armor and a few crossbow bolts to look at, and then jumped down, facing Li Xin grinned.

"The sword armor is very good, but the crossbow arrows are almost useless, but there is no need to break the armor in Yunzhou City, this kind of crossbow arrows is enough."

During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Yuwen tribes still had a lot of armor, but after they retreated to the Guan, because of the extreme lack of iron, the armor was almost all leather armor, and there was no more iron armor.

This young man is very happy.

"Thank you, Lord Li, for being busy."

After arriving in Yunzhou City, these things went into the pockets of the Chong Family Army, and they could even be regarded as his private property of the Chong Family Army. He couldn't help being unhappy that he got so many good things for nothing.

Lord Jing'an said with a smile: "These things were ordered by His Majesty himself, and almost all of the 300 million yuan allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs was actually used. Even if these things were sold at the market price, they would at least double the price." Well, the Zhong family has made a fortune this time, and if you are young, you have to find a chance to treat me to a meal."

There was a smile in the corner of Zhong Heng's eyes, but he shook his head with a serious face.

"Your Majesty is wrong. This was given to the soldiers of the Yunzhou Army by the imperial court. The Yunzhou Army is an army of the imperial court. How can my family get rich?"

Lord Jing'an smiled slightly.

"Then, would you please treat me to this meal?"

"Please, please, of course you must."

Zhong Heng smiled and said, "It's just that I'm going north tomorrow. If Master Hou is not free tonight, he can only wait for me to come back."

Lord Jing'an said with a smile, "Young Master Zhong has to go on his way tomorrow, let's forget about it tonight, let's talk about it when Young Master Zhong returns to Beijing."

Zhong Heng nodded readily.

"Then it's settled."

Chapter 689

The next day, Zhong Heng arrived at Jing'an Hou's Mansion early in the morning and took over the 20-odd vehicles of supplies.

He didn't even count them.

Because Li Xin said that he had already counted them, he did this to save face for Li Xin, meaning that no matter whether the batch of goods was enough or not, the planters would regard it as enough.

This is a certain degree of respect, and it can be regarded as a kind of flattery, but Li Xin is not bored to the point of withholding things from it, he did not withhold any of these things.

It is impossible to say that you are not greedy. These things are considered to be the top products in the Dajin Military Supervision. If you can send [-] to [-] sets to the Hanzhou government, it will improve the combat power of the Hanzhou army. Soldiers are huge.

But at least [-] to [-] sets are needed. Dozens of sets or one to two hundred sets are irrelevant, and Li Xin doesn't like it either.

These twenty or thirty large carriages lined up from Desheng Street and slowly drove out of Yonglefang. After the last carriage left, Mr. Zhong came to Li Xin who was seeing him off, and bowed his head respectfully: "Master Hou, sir, this is it!" went."

Li Xin smiled: "Nine years ago, I also sent things to Yunzhou City. The journey was exposed to the sun and rain, and it was quite hard work. Take care of yourself along the way."

Zhong Heng said with a smile: "Grandfather mentioned this to me. At that time, Lord Hou was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was able to take four hundred guards across mountains and rivers to send things to Jimen Pass and Yunzhou City. Beheaded and killed [-] remnant Zhou thieves near Xiaochenji, at that time grandfather said, Lord Hou will have great achievements in the future."

Li Xin was silent for a while when he mentioned the old story of Xiao Chenji, and then he showed a smile on his face: "At that time, it was just sending some medicinal wine, which was nothing, and what was given away was military equipment. If the news leaked out, someone might red eyes."

This batch of ordnance is 300 million guns, and it is close to the cost price of 300 million guns. If these high-quality sword armors are sold on the black market, the price will be doubled, or even tripled.

If the news leaks out, the road may not be smooth.

Young Master Zhong smiled and said: "I took half of the Habayashi guards on the road, a total of [-] elites. It's good not to rob others. How can anyone dare to touch my brow?"

Lord Jing'an smiled and nodded.

"It's kind of rare to say."

The two of them spoke a few more words before Zhong Heng hugged Li Xin and left.

Li Xin looked at Zhong Heng's leaving back, and at the mighty black-armored feather guards following behind him, with a complicated expression.

After a while, Li Xin turned around and went home. After hugging the baby in the backyard for a while, he smiled at the eldest princess who was breastfeeding: "Tomorrow is Master Ye's [-]th birthday. Don't you want to prepare some gifts for the old man?"

The eldest princess covered her skirt, raised her head and gave Li Xin a white look.

"You have always been in contact with Teacher Ye, so there is no need for me to prepare anything."

Li Xin squatted down, put the eldest daughter in his arms on the ground, and said with a smile: "Then I will prepare it myself, but tomorrow, Your Highness, you have to go to Ye's house with me to wish the old man a birthday."

The eldest princess nodded and said: "It should be, I will go with you tomorrow."

Speaking of this, she paused, and continued: "Didn't you say that the old man likes Ping'er, and bring him there tomorrow, and it will be lively."

Lord Jing'an smiled and said, "Your Highness Duyi."

"Chen Guogong's mansion has been preparing for the birthday banquet these days. I'm busy with other things and I can't help much. I'll go to Ye's house later."
