Chapter 050
As soon as Chen finished speaking, Qiao Rui immediately answered in the affirmative.
"Wu'er is right, I really want to ask Yun Qi."
"What? Is the general making fun of me?" Mrs. Chen's expression immediately changed.
Qiao Wei in the hall also frowned, wondering what happened to this world? Why has it become so "topsy-turvy"?
Qiao Rui's face was serious, he stroked his beard and explained: "Madam, I don't know the rules in the camp. Luo Yicheng is Tang Hui's column leader, and Tang Hui is a life-and-death friend of Long Yuan. There is a long distance between Wei Hu and Luo Yicheng.
Where are Xiang and Tang Wei..."
"Father is right, they are all fellow villagers, and they only listen to their fellow villagers' orders..." Qiao Miao echoed excitedly.
Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan understood Qiao Rui's sentiments, but when Mrs. Chen saw Qiaorui nodding, she suddenly realized that her youngest son had grown up.
Qiao Rui praised: "It seems that I didn't let you go to the military camp in vain. You know a lot of things..."
"As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog sons. The general has always taught him well. You should teach him more in the future." Mrs. Chen complimented with a smile.
Qiao Rui frowned and took a sip of wine, and said solemnly: "This tragic defeat at the hands of Lu Bu has brought disgrace to Your Majesty. I'm afraid there will never be peace in Huainan. As a general, I have to run the military and may not have the time to teach you..."
"Then find someone to teach you." Chen responded quickly and asked Qiao Qiao: "Who did you learn the idea you just had?"
"Guard Li."
"If the general is too busy, you can ask Li Tun to teach you. Anyway, we are all familiar with it..."
Qiao Min interrupted Chen: "My child wants to learn from Luo Yicheng."
"He's not bad. Wei'er is getting older and needs to walk around the streets more frequently. Anyway, Long Xiang's troops can't handle big things. The general might as well send Luo Yicheng to serve as a guard for Wei'er?" Chen struck while the iron was hot.
Make suggestions.
"When I see Your Majesty in court tomorrow morning, I will go to Yun Qi to ask for advice. Don't all look at me. Eat early and rest early."
After Qiao Rui said this, he waved his hand. Seeing that he was a little tired, Mrs. Chen and her children stopped asking questions.
After dinner, everyone went back to their respective rooms.
Qiao Wei sat alone on the couch, recalling today's events, and it seemed that the topics were all related to Long Xiang.
On the way back to the dormitory just now, Qiao Wan, who had always talked a lot, didn't say a word. She was supposed to talk to him about Long Xiang, but why did she change her temper today?
Or is it that Qiao Wan has guessed in advance that Long Xiang did all this?
"Weier, have you fallen asleep?"
While Qiao Wei was thinking hard, her mother Chen's call suddenly came from outside the window.
"No." Qiao Wei quickly went to open the door.
Seeing Qiaowei dressed neatly, Mrs. Chen asked curiously: "It's late at night, you haven't planned to sleep yet?"
Qiao Wei shook her head: "My child is getting ready to go to bed, don't you need to wait on your father?"
"General, he may be tired. He started snoring without washing up. I had something on my mind and couldn't sleep. I saw the lights on in your room, so I came over to check on the situation..."
"Mei Wan is asleep too?"
"The lights have been turned off. You should have gone to bed."
"It's really strange..."
"What did you say?"
Qiao Wei lowered her head and muttered to herself when she was discovered, then she immediately raised her head and changed the topic with a smile.
"My child just wanted to say... Why can't my mother fall asleep? Why don't you let me help you find out the details..."
"I saw you at the banquet just now. Your father treated Long Xiang with kindness and kindness. How could a general consult with a soldier? Mother has no opinion on Long Xiang. Everyone has their own wells and rivers, but now.
..”
Mrs. Chen suddenly stopped talking, as if she felt that the Qiao family had lost face.
Qiao Wei and Chen had similar personalities. They quickly understood each other's thoughts and comforted each other: "Since it is a favor, let's return it. Long Xiang was defeated and punished for committing crimes before, and my father also tried his best to deal with him..."
"One code equals another. How can Long Xiang's life be compared with that of the general? Furthermore, Miao'er rarely makes requests. Now that he is actively asking for Luo Yicheng, I don't know if Long Yunqi understands the situation."
"My father has given him enough face by leaning over to discuss with him. With this man's intelligence and talent, he will not refuse his father. If my mother feels that she owes a favor, she might as well send some property and hold a banquet to express her gratitude. This can also be considered as a thank you."
It’s over…”
"It makes sense. I have been feeling unwell for the past two days. I have troubled Wei'er to prepare the banquet. I can try to make it as grand as possible..."
"Don't worry, mother, your child will be well prepared."
"Then I'll go back to my room first, and you should go to bed early."
"OK."
Chen and Qiao Wei discussed the results and returned to the bedroom to rest with satisfaction.
Seeing Qiao Rui shouting on the couch, a terrible thought suddenly flashed through Chen's mind.
What would happen if the general failed to come back?
Miao'er has just turned eleven, and it seems that she is not as capable as Sun Ce. Will the Qiao family just decline?
At this moment, Mrs. Chen thanked Luo Yicheng from the bottom of her heart and thanked Long Xiang for his unintentional intervention.
At noon the next day, the sun rose to the middle of the sky.
Long Xiang leaned against the corner of the tower and closed his eyes to rest. Although he was used to the routine of this world, he still missed the three meals a day in the future world.
In the future world, this point is lunch time after get off work.
Although Longxiang can fish now, he must not have lunch. Only wealthy families can afford to eat three meals a day.
Long Xiang thought about it and then went to Hefei. If he had three meals a day with one hundred thousand dendrobium, he didn't know how long he could last.
Long Xiang quickly denied himself. Although he had never been in charge of food and grass during his time in the army, he had commanded thousands of migrant workers on projects.
For physical work, the food must be good. Not only must meat be included in three meals a day, but enough rice must be provided. Extra meals must be provided during construction periods or special weather conditions.
Logistics expenses are like opening a floodgate and letting out water, which flows out every day.
Including those resettled in Hefei, Long Xiang's troops had a total of 400 soldiers. Counting their family members and orphans from the Kuangting Battle, the total number could reach 3,000 to 4,000, which was comparable to a large construction site.
How much do thousands of mouths need to eat every day? Long Xiang thought to himself that it was not enough to sit back and eat nothing. When he got to a place, not only could he not waste his food, but he had to increase revenue and reduce expenditure in order to survive.
While he was closing his eyes in deep thought, the conversation between Tang Yui and Qiao Rui interrupted Long Xiang's thoughts.
"General, why are you here? Yunqi is taking a nap. I'm going to wake him up."
"No, I guess he's tired from the patrol, so let him sleep for a while while I look at the scenery on the tower and talk to him later."
"How does this work?"
"It doesn't matter."
How could Long Xiang sleep when he heard Qiao Rui being so polite? He quickly stood up, dusted himself off as he walked, and saluted with his hands clasped in fists.
"General, the general is on guard duty and cannot leave without permission. I planned to pay him a visit at a break..."
Qiao Rui nodded slightly and responded with a hint of self-deprecation: "You don't have to be so polite. Without Yun Qi's unintentional arrangement, I might not be able to come back..."
"The general is blessed with great fortune. Even without Luo Yicheng, he will surely be able to turn danger into good fortune."
Qiao Rui waved his hand and said: "It's true that good luck brings great fortune. I know that good fortune can be turned into good fortune. I'm here today not just to chat and reminisce about the past, but because I have something serious to do."
"Business?"
