What about the soft and cute bamboo horse I am a freshman?

"Autumn tour?" Xu Zhang looked at the kneeling boy, "At this time?"

"Nan Ya also conducts autumn inspections at this time in previous years," Jin Shi said with a calm expression, "It should have been Xia Xun, after all, this is the first year that I have served as the right envoy of Nan Ya, so I must know who I have under my command."

Xu Zhang picked up the white jade cup and shook it lightly, and the clear tea soup in the white jade cup swayed a little. He looked at Jinshi's expression, tapped his hand on the imperial case, and said: "Ai Qing, you can rest assured that the painting array The capital affairs of the company are temporarily handed over to others? Isn't Ai Qing worried about Liang Fang who hasn't arrived in the north yet?"

Jin Shi smiled lightly: "After being instructed by His Majesty last time, I went back and thought about it, and I figured it out."

"Oh?"

"Liang Fang Yu Your Majesty, blood is thicker than water, you will definitely not harm Liang Fang," Jin Shi said, "Liang Fang has been to the northern border many times, he must be familiar with the road, and the two gold seals accompanying him Painter, and on this journey, Shanghai Yanhe is clear, and the world is peaceful, so the minister naturally does not need to worry about his safety. In addition, my master... Yuan Jiuyao's new big formation of mountains and rivers really needs Liang who is in charge of fighting formations It will be more reassuring to go to check, "Jin Shi said with a helpless smile, "After all, I am the right envoy of the Nan Yamen, and I have been busy with the formation of people's livelihood, and I am really unfamiliar with the battle formation."

Xu Zhang looked at him for a long time, weighing whether these words came from his sincerity.

Jin Shi maintained his calm appearance, and continued: "And...you are right."

Xu Zhang lightly placed the white jade lamp on the imperial case: "Is that right?"

Jinshi lowered his eyes: "Liang Fang has indeed stayed in the position of the national teacher for a long time."

A gleam flashed in Xu Zhang's eyes: "How to say?"

"Since I left that day, I have been working in the Department of Painting Array," Jin Shi said, "I have checked a lot of the accounts of the Department of Painting Array. I found that since Liang Fang returned the power of self-revenue from the Ministry of Finance, The division of money and money is very biased towards the Beiya, and the people's livelihood formation is very tight. However, as the right envoy of the Nanya, I deeply understand the importance of the people's livelihood in the country. In this age without war, there is no need to give The northern government has such ample expenditure. On the contrary, for the southern government, which has a great income advantage, not only should it not be stuck in expenditure, but should increase its expenditure, so that the southern government can better build people's livelihood and protect the lives of the people. The foundation of benefiting the people."

After Xu Zhang finished listening, he clapped his hands and said, "Well said! Keep talking."

"Besides," Jin Shi raised his head with a smile, "I thought it would be better for the Department of Painting and Expenditure to go back to the Ministry of Accounts. I did a simple calculation of the accounts last night, and the income of the Nanya was far greater than the expenditure. Said that if there is no need to add money to the Beiya, the Department of Tuzhen can completely charge the extra money into the treasury under the condition of realizing self-revenue and self-expenditure. unified arrangement."

What Jinshi said made Xu Zhang nod repeatedly, then he stood up, helped Jinshi himself up, and patted him on the shoulder: "I just said, my vision is fine, you can have such an idea and make such a plan, very good!"

Then he turned to sigh and said: "I have really seen Liang Fang's hard work in the past few years, including when he wanted to get back the power of the Tuizhen Division to collect and support himself. I fully supported him. But after so many years Come down, he is really... oh, too stubborn! He is a powerful array painter, but he is not a good Jiuyao Guoshi. In the era of war, people like him are needed, but there is no war now, he... It’s better to take care of his own Beiya! And you—”

There was a look of approval on Xu Zhang's face: "You are worthy of being Yuan Jiuyao's apprentice. I have traveled with Yuan Jiuyao since I was a child, and I know the importance of people's livelihood. Compared with him, you are more suitable to be the national teacher of this painting array division. You this time It’s also good to go on an autumn tour, let the pen and ink booths everywhere recognize you, after all, you are not only the right envoy of Nanya, but also the national teacher who will lead them in the future! When Liang Fang comes back, I will let him start the matter of abdicating! "

Jin Shi knelt down respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Long En!"

"However, if we go at this time, the Su Shang Pingfeng in Jingjiang should be able to accept it." Xu Zhang said with a smile, "There is a century-old tea garden in Shijin Town, Jingjiang, and the Su Shang Pingfeng there is very good."

Jin Shi said lightly: "I will take care of your Majesty."

Mo Fu had already come out, and the autumn tiger in the summer heat made people very uncomfortable. When night fell, the outside quickly cooled down.

There were only three people in the autumn patrol team of Nanya Youshi, and Jinshi took the letter and fish charm of the Tuzhen Division on the road.

In an inn in Zhuoping County, Jinshi and Liu Song carefully set up formations in Yage.

"How did you convince the emperor?" Lu Niannian disguised herself as a man and poured tea for the three of them, "He actually let you out?"

"He thinks that I read the accounts of the Department of Painting, and then, as the right envoy of the Nan Yamen, I became resentful about the distribution of money, and thought that I had succeeded in estrangement." Jin Shi said calmly.

"However, the National Teacher is really stuck on the distribution of money in Nanya," Liu Song said. The law is also quite understandable.”

Jin Shi had no choice but to say, "Didn't Tao Baiyang be there? Liang Fang gave them an extra penny and they were greedy for ten cents. Even if they didn't give them extra money, they would dare to cut corners. Otherwise, where did the previous dam collapse come from. "

Liu Song looked at him: "You are called—"

"-Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Lu Niannian continued.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed from tense to relaxed.

In the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, his whereabouts were unknown, Liang Fang went to the north with illness, and mediation with the emperor. These days, Jinshi's nerves have been tense. Just like Lu Nianli said, Jinshi has changed a lot in a short period of time.

Now Liu Song and Lu Niannian are singing together, which makes Jinshi relax a little bit from those things.

He laughed a little: "No, how do you all know that Liang Fang and I are together?"

Seeing Jinshi's face finally showing a little smile, Liu Song heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, sat down and said mysteriously: "You know that on the seventh day of July, the national teacher called me over to inspect the underground secret road formation and guard Big formation?"

Jinshi nodded.

"Then it was the seventh day of July. When the national teacher and I were inspecting, there was some interference in the river channel. After seeing those lotus lanterns, we realized that the formation above would cause some illusion of interference. Then we set another one. I had time to do another inspection. I thought it was over. When I was about to leave, I bought some materials and planned to go back and make one for Niannian. Who knew he stopped me and said that he had a question to ask me. You know he asked me what?"

"Don't sell the lawsuit, please?" Lu Niannian pinched him, "Say something quickly!"

Seeing Liu Song rushing to please begging for mercy and Lu Niannian's pampered look, Jinshi sighed in his heart that it was really the two appearances before and after the relationship was confirmed. Before the relationship was confirmed, it was obviously a shy and timid younger sister and a stable brother.

"The national teacher has an expression that I have never seen before... that kind of... that kind of..." Liu Song tried hard to pick an adjective, "tweaked? Shy? Anyway, it's an expression of embarrassment but wanting to know, Ask me what to do for that lotus lantern!"

Jin Shi was taken aback, it turned out that Liu Song taught Liang Fang how to make lamps?

"I was so stupid at the time!" Liu Song sighed, "Do you know what it means to make a lotus lantern? Only when you like someone, you will choose to make a lotus lantern for him. Then I thought about it There were countless candidates, but I couldn't figure out who it was. Later, I taught the national teacher, and when I was looking for Niannian with the lotus lantern I made myself, I was still a little dazed."

"When he found me that day, he was absent-minded," Lu Niannian said angrily, "It shows that his heart is not serious! I was about to cry at that time!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Liu Song quickly apologized, "But I was very serious when I confessed my love..."

"If it weren't for the auspicious wishful formation that suddenly rose, your soul would never come back!" Lu Niannian snorted coldly.

"But I'm really curious about who the national teacher likes. Aren't you also curious?"

Jinshi was a little dumbfounded: "Then you guessed me through the auspicious wishful array?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Song and Lu Niannian shook their heads.嚢沷

"We don't have such sensitive aura perception as you," Liu Song sighed, "We... saw you and the national teacher."

Jin Shi was startled, then blushed involuntarily: "Look... did you see it?"

Lu Niannian nodded: "I just...saw you and the national teacher by the river, and then fell into the water..."

Lu Niannian has been with Liang Fang for a while, and she has never known who Liang Fang likes, but she still has some clues about who Liang Fang likes, such as "leaving temporarily", such as "will come back", and Jin Shi was at the door of the Empress Dowager's bedroom at that time, and Liang Fang didn't even let her see him like he was protecting some treasure.

She thought that Liang Fang liked a woman, so she couldn't think of the answer, and then found the answer from Jinshi all at once.

Thinking of what happened after the river, Jinshi felt his mouth dry, he picked up tea to cover up his embarrassment: "Well, let's talk about it for a while."

The topic turned too bluntly, but seeing that Jinshi's face was no longer as gloomy as before, Lu Niannian and Liu Song achieved their goal, they smiled at each other and let him go.

"The National Teacher has brought a team of troops. Both the Northern Wolf Guard and the National Teacher are familiar with the road and travel quickly, but those two golden seals should be the first time to go to the northern border." Liu Song unfolded the map and pointed to the dots on it. , "If you follow the footsteps of ordinary people, you should be in Jiangfengling now, but if the national teacher didn't bring those two golden seals, now he should be able to reach Mo County between Jiangfengling and Qinya Mountains."

"They brought supplies for the labor force," Jin Shi said, "they won't go so fast."

"But," Lu Niannian said worriedly, "Even if it's Jiang Fengling, how are you going to catch up with him?"

Jin Shi pointed to several positions: "Here, and here, there are two teleportation arrays."

Liu Song was surprised when he saw where he was pointing: "How do you know? Those two teleportation arrays have been abandoned for a long time!"

"Liang Fang once asked Tao Baiyang to sort out a map of Damu's formations in Nanya," Jin Shi said, "That map also includes the landforms near where the teleportation formations are located, and it has been done in the past two years."

This is what Liang Fang told him when he created the Jingbitang small formation.

"However," Liu Song looked at the two formations, "these two teleportation formations are very unstable due to long-distance transmission, and the environment there is a bit complicated, so it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to repair them every time. The distance is far, but there are not many people and things to transmit, so it was abandoned."

"I have seen the repair records of these two formations in Sikuo Hall," Jin Shi said firmly, "but obviously they haven't found out why the formations in those two places need frequent repairs. But back then..." He paused, then continued, "I went there with Master Yunyou back then, and now that I think about it, I probably know the reason. One of these formations is near Zhuoping County, and I went there secretly just now I've seen it, it's connected to that formation, it's connected!"
