Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

"Your Highness! Isn't Kirin Ten responsible for managing food? Why do my duties as Kirin Two overlap with those of Kirin Ten? Why is Kirin Two's position the core of your framework?"

Kirin II asked in confusion.

Responsible for growing food, vegetables, and fruits, would he be the core of the Zhenbei King framework?

Hong Xuan said: "The food of Qilin Ten comes from the people or the imperial court. They don't produce food. They just store and protect the food they get and distribute it to various parts of the army."

"However, food is the most important strategic material for the army. Without food, the entire army will be unable to move forward, and there may even be serious consequences."

"My king! I don't want to hand over this hidden danger to others, so I must personally form a food army that belongs entirely to me."

"Fighting a war is not just about numbers, it also requires sufficient food. Qilin Er, you are more important than you think now. It is not an exaggeration to compare the food army to the lifeblood of your army!"

"And when your army, Qilin Er, recruits more people, I will put you in charge of the animal husbandry as well."

Qilin Er was stunned when he heard this, and so were the others.

The minds of these Dafeng Kingdom’s personal soldiers have not been opened.

Of course I don’t understand Hongxuan’s cross-era thinking.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand.

Hongxuan only needs them to obey.

Does the grain depend on the taxation of the farmers in Dafeng? If so, Hongxuan has no qualifications to compete with the army of Beishang, nor can it face the pressure brought by the capricious Emperor Wen of Dafeng.

Now, the imperial court of Dafeng State was already short of food.

How could there be enough food transported to Zhenbei to feed the soldiers guarding the northern border?

Food is the most important pillar of the entire army.

All actions must be based on having enough food.

Whether it is training strong soldiers or launching a war, if there is not enough food, then the game is lost, let alone recruiting more soldiers and expanding the army.

"Qilin II obeys the order!"

Qilin II only realized after hearing King Zhenbei's explanation that his Qilin II unit was so important.

King Zhenbei personally organized the grain production.

"Qilin obeys orders!"

Qilin couldn't wait any longer.

"Qilin Yi, your existence is the product of my, the King of Zhenbei, across the ages in this world! Qilin Yi is responsible for the construction of the equipment!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Hongxuan.

Construction technique?

"Your Majesty! Qilin One is responsible for building siege equipment to attack the city, right?"

"It's not a siege weapon. As for what it is specifically, it's a tool for improving weapons and productivity equipment."

Only Hongxuan understood what he was saying.

Others simply don’t understand.

"You just need to obey my orders. I will tell you what to make when you return to the Northern Yan Palace."

Even if he talked to Qilin Yi now, it would be useless. Hongxuan couldn't possibly tell Qilin Yi to make a compound bow and arrow that was as good as a pistol.

In fact, on the way from the Kyoto Imperial Palace to here, Hongxuan had thought about it.

Based on the current productivity, what kind of epoch-making weapons and equipment can he produce?

It's not a musket.

But it is a double-check lever bow and arrow with great lethality.

As for gunpowder and firearms, it was not that Hongxuan didn't want to use them, but that he himself didn't know how to use them.

If Hongxuan knew that he would travel to this world, he must have done enough work, especially intensively studying chemistry and gun manufacturing knowledge.

Now he also vaguely remembers a little bit of the periodic table of chemistry.

"Hydrogen Helium Lithium Beryllium Boron

CNOF Ne

Sodium magnesium aluminum silicon phosphorus

Calcium Sulfate, Chlorine, Argon, Potassium

Scandium Titanium Vanadium Chromium Manganese

Iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, and then! What’s next? ”

Hongxuan has completely forgotten about it.

"Forget it! With my current knowledge, it should be enough. I'll go back and study it carefully to see if I can figure out black powder directly."

Hongxuan was not discouraged at all.

After finishing all this, Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan stood behind the high platform.

"The team is moving! Leave Wutonggang!"

At Hongxuan's order, the team began to leave Wutonggang.

The Imperial Palace,

Eunuch Wei, a young eunuch from the Imperial Household Department, prepared a pot of Longjing spring tea.

All of these spring teas were specially presented as tribute to Emperor Dingwen for his enjoyment, and they were specially supplied with West Lake Longjing.

Even princes and ministers were not qualified to enjoy it.

Several ancient trees that produce Longjing spring tea have long been guarded by Emperor Dingwen's personal guards.

Even under normal circumstances, ordinary people cannot get close to those ancient tea trees.

Drinking tea was one of Emperor Dingwen's favorite things.

The rich aroma of tea permeates the Qianqing Palace.

The young eunuch Wei Peichu steadily placed the fragrant tea on the coffee table made of golden nanmu wood.

Eunuch Lu knelt before him.

Reporting his own experiences and the information he got from Hongxuan

Emperor Dingwen picked up the fragrant tea and took a sip.

"Were all the one hundred assassins in ambush killed? Xuan'er still suffered no losses?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! The first time I saw the King of Zhenbei commanding his army, I was extremely shocked. At Wutonggang, all the guards treated the King of Zhenbei with deep respect. Even now, the King of Zhenbei's majesty still makes me tremble."

"It seems that with the presence of the King of Zhenbei, this army is fearless and invincible!"

This is the true feeling in Eunuch Lu's heart.

"Why! Xuan'er found the traces of those killers so easily?" Emperor Dingwen said with some confusion.

"Later, I learned that the King of Zhenbei had set up a special reconnaissance team, so the surroundings could not escape the reconnaissance of the scouts, and those killers naturally had nowhere to hide!"

Emperor Dingwen's eyes flickered.

"Xuan'er! You are truly my Qilin son!"

"Not only that, Your Majesty, the five hundred young guards that Your Majesty bestowed upon the King of Zhenbei were quickly absorbed by the King of Zhenbei and became his trusted personal guards, called the Qilin Guards! As for the role of the Qilin Guards, I don't know, because Teng Wanzhi, the captain of the Suzaku Squadron of the King of Zhenbei, took me away from Wutonggang. It should be the King of Zhenbei's instruction that he didn't want me to know too much."

Eunuch Lu should not know too much, and the emperor himself should not know too much either.

"Xuan'er's talent is a hundred times better than when I was the crown prince! And hundreds of times better than Hongze!"

Emperor Dingwen came to this conclusion.

Then he said with a cold look:

"Who ordered those assassins in black to be sent out?"

Eunuch Lu's body trembled noticeably. He returned to the palace. Some words cannot be spoken casually, and some words cannot be spoken at all. If you say the wrong thing, you will lose your life.

Although the King of Zhenbei had promised before that the commander-in-chief Wang Jianxiang was in collusion with the black-clad killer, all of this was instigated by the prince, or at least the prince was involved.

However, Eunuch Lu could not say these words.

"Your Majesty! I don't know! I dare not speak nonsense!"

Emperor Dingwen took another sip of the fragrant tea and said leisurely: "Haha! Let them go and assassinate Xuan'er! He won't be lonely in Yandi in the north!"

Would Emperor Dingwen not know about the shadow of the crown prince or the shadow of the second prince Hongxuan? They were the two who wanted Hongxuan dead the most.

Emperor Dingwen obtained information that Hongxuan's growth rate was much faster than he expected.

This doesn't look like a young newcomer who needs to grow up.

Instead, he looks like a shrewd chess player.

Therefore, Emperor Dingwen naturally did not worry about Hongxuan's safety.
