Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Jiang Qiuming took a thick booklet and counted the supplies, and the more he became more shocked, the prince actually got so many and such a complete set of things in just half a day, and he had everything he needed for food and clothing. This must have been prepared long ago. of.

"Master Ji, when did your lord start preparing these things?"

Ji Hanyu also came together, and with him were two civil servants from the prefectural government, who were accompanying officials this time, responsible for calculating losses and counting casualties.

"Prepare for more than a month. Food is the most important thing. It just so happens that the grain merchants are releasing grain recently, and the price has dropped a lot. The prince buys some every day and hoards them for emergencies. He also saves up other things little by little. got up."

Especially the medicinal materials, which are indispensable but difficult to buy in bulk, Li Xu still asked the stewards in various places to buy and ship them back bit by bit.

"My lord is really far-sighted." Jiang Qiuming has never seen government relief even bring dozens of barrels of vinegar. "Is this a special dish for the victims?"

Ji Hanyu's face trembled when he heard his question, he wanted to laugh but tried to hold back, remembering that he had asked such a stupid question before, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Qiuming knew that he was thinking about it, and asked more and more curiously: "Does this vinegar have other magical uses?"

"Yes, this is for disinfection, in case there are casualties, to avoid the spread of the plague."

"Disinfection? Can vinegar also disinfect?"

"My lord said yes." Ji Hanyu replied affirmatively.

Jiang Qiuming hurriedly asked about the usage and dosage, otherwise General Kou would have taken the vinegar with him, and he might have poured it directly into the pot to make soup.

Not only vinegar, but also other things that Jiang Qiuming had never seen before, and he asked carefully, "What is this thing with five fingers separated? And this thick cotton thing with a few strings on it?"

"Those are disposable gloves and masks. If you want to check on patients or corpses, let everyone wear masks and gloves to avoid infection. There are only three medical craftsmen accompanying us this time. Please take care of Kou Jiajun." Ji Hanyu specially said Call Yan Chen over and let Jiang Qiuming recognize him.

Jiang Qiuming immediately realized that the youngest boy must be the most important and most protective member of the entourage. He wrote down Yan Chen's name and reminded General Kou when the time came so that he would not be negligent.

But this little doctor Yan knew that he came to South Vietnam from the capital with the prince, but he rarely showed up at ordinary times, and it was the first time he saw him.

"This car is a raincoat for the soldiers. It is light and convenient. The military division can distribute it to the soldiers." Ji Hanyu took a raincoat for him and opened it. The thin oilcloth was cut into the shape of a hooded gown and covered up to the calf , Wearing it on the body can really avoid getting wet.

And the color is actually a beautiful sky blue. Jiang Qiuming was very concerned about what he was wearing, touching the raincoat and asking, "Is this color also dyed by the Wangfu Garment Factory?"

Ji Hanyu didn't know this, "Probably so, Army Master Jiang can ask the prince."

Jiang Qiuming shook his head, thinking that it is better not to bother the prince with such a trivial matter, he will go to the garment factory some other day and ask if he will find out, if brocade robes can be made in this color, it must be very beautiful.

After counting the things and covering them with the tarpaulin, Jiang Qiuming took the list to Kou Xiao, who read it carefully and said with emotion: "It turns out that disaster relief is so important, no wonder civil servants and military generals are indispensable since ancient times. What this general is good at."

Jiang Qiuming comforted him, "Does the general think that apart from the prince, other civil servants can be so thoughtful? Throughout history, there is no other person."

Kou Xiao proudly said: "That's natural, my prince's talent is unprecedented, and he is unique in the world."

Jiang Qiuming really wanted to give him a mirror to see his expression at the moment, he was too flattering, almost like a flattering courtier.

He asked cautiously: "Your lord didn't look very well just now, but he was angry with the general?"

Kou Xiao gave him a sideways glance, rubbing his fingers on the table, wanting to beat someone up, really wanting to lift any pot.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

It was already noon after handing over these matters, so Li Xu stayed in the barracks for dinner. After a meal, his anger disappeared, and he grabbed Kou Xiao and told him repeatedly: "The situation in the disaster area is unknown, so be careful in everything. If you go on a mountain road, you must first Send people to scout the way, the safety of Kou’s army is paramount, you can’t sacrifice the lives of these soldiers just to save people.”

Seeing his sincerity, Kou Xiao was very moved, took the opportunity to grab Li Xu's hand and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely remember your teachings in the end."

Li Xu rolled his eyes at him, pulled out his hand, turned to Kou Jiajun and said loudly: "If any soldiers die in the line of duty during the rescue, I promise that I will take good care of the families of the martyrs. If there are orphans, they can be assigned by the palace after they reach the age of 15 , parents, wives and children can receive a pension every year."

As soon as this remark came out, all the soldiers were excited. A large part of them joined the army for military pay, and their families could receive a pension if they died in the line of duty. However, Nanyue was too poor and the pension was not high. Fortunately, General Kou was very loyal. Every time I personally urged the government to distribute the money in place, and even beheaded a few officials who dared to embezzle, it was considered that the sacrifices of the soldiers were not in vain.

But the meaning of the prince is that as long as someone dies in the line of duty, the palace will shoulder the lives of his parents, wife and children. If there is difficulty, as long as it is not too much, they will be satisfied. This is simply too preferential treatment. , may not be able to receive such preferential treatment.

It is conceivable how brave the soldiers who have no worries about the future will be on the battlefield, but it is a pity that this time they did not go to battle to kill the enemy, otherwise the morale would be enough to destroy the world.

"This king never speaks big words. As long as this king is in power for a day, the family members of the martyrs can be taken care of. The maximum convenience will be given on the premise of not breaking the law. The pension will be two taels of silver every year until the parents die and the wife remarries. When the children are grown up, this king can't replace the soldiers and charge forward, but he will definitely be able to stabilize the rear for you, so that you don't have to worry about it anymore."

This is the best promise to the soldiers standing at the forefront, and no one is not moved.

The scene was silent, and many people secretly wiped their tears. They thought that if they could fight for King Shun in this life, they would die without regret.

Kou Xiao thought it was over, even the general wanted to turn his back on the battlefield, the Kou family's army might lose their loyalty, so when it comes to buying people's hearts, he only obeys Li Xu.

Standing behind Kou Xiao, Jiang Junshi whispered: "General, you should take back your thoughts and stop harming the prince. The prince has no sons, so the master must not be cut off."

Kou Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Which side are you on?"

"The humble job has become a wall of grass now, and I wish I could go to the palace, and the prince is so good, the humble job feels that you are not worthy."

Kou Xiao gouged him out and said in a low voice, "This general is going to be a big sycophant who everyone scolds. Even if the prince has a son, he will send him back to the capital. How do you know that after a hundred years, the prince will not give away this great country?" Give it away in vain."

Jiang Qiuming lowered his voice, and said something rebellious: "Do you think it is possible? This country must belong to King Shun, and the future son of the prince will be the prince."

"You really dare to say it." Kou Xiao's heart is chilly, and the cold wind is passing through in the summer. It's not that he doesn't understand this. Li Xu's ambition is lofty, and he will help him wholeheartedly. If that day really comes, Li Xu will sit on the throne of the emperor , then it is impossible for me to have a chance.

Even if Li Xu agrees with him, it is impossible to fight against the whole world. If he does not build a harem, accept concubines and have children, is he still an emperor?

Kou Xiao suddenly felt disheartened. He admired Li Xu, but he was always hot and picky, and Li Xu would not respond at all. Being able to treat him with a normal attitude is Li Xu's greatest tolerance.

Where is the meaning of your persistence?

Kou Xiao is not a person who will restrain himself for etiquette. He once thought that even if Li Xu disagrees in this life, he will pursue it for the rest of his life. No matter what, he will not regret it.

But at this moment he is not sure, can he really watch Li Xu marry a wife and have children, and embrace his beautiful wife and concubine?Based on what he knew about himself, he might raise a gun and kill these women.

Then he and Li Xu are really beyond redemption.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Li Xu sent the team out of the barracks, but he didn't find a chance to talk to Kou Xiao. The other party seemed to be avoiding him all the time, not even looking at him.

How did the style change in just a short moment?Li Xu couldn't figure it out, but in the end it could only be attributed to his suspicion of buying people's hearts in his previous words, which may have touched Kou Xiao's interests. He probably thought he was seizing military power.

Li Xu didn't know how to explain it, it would be too false to say that there was none, he needed the support of Kou's army, so naturally he had to buy people's hearts, but he didn't want to seize power, Kou Xiao is the best general, he never thought of letting others replace him , let alone the idea of ​​changing Kou Jiajun's surname.

He worked hard to make money and give benefits to the big guys, but he just wanted to make everyone's life easier.

"Your Majesty, please stop." Kou Xiao sat on the horseback and looked at Li Xu for a long time, his expression remained unmoved, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking, but it was definitely not a happy mood.

Li Xu frowned and looked back at him, and said again to remind him to be safe, but the other party didn't answer, cupped his hands and shouted: "Let's go."

Looking at the departing team, Li Xu's expression was unclear, he lowered his head and rode his horse away from the barracks, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, if Kou Xiao disliked his actions, just put it bluntly, is there any need to be angry?

Sure enough, he was still a child, so it was really difficult to serve him.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Jiang Qiuming watched Kou Xiao's expression all the way, and only found him when he set up camp at night and said: "General, you don't have to worry about it, just treat it as a fart from your subordinates, and your subordinates still support you."

Kou Xiao waved his hands and didn't want to talk, he had been thinking for a long time, would he really be willing to give up Li Xu?The answer was no, he still couldn't dig this person out of his heart as he didn't like him.

That being the case, there is nothing to worry about in the future, what he values ​​is the present, not to mention he never expected Li Xu to respond to his feelings, did he?

Jiang Qiuming continued to persuade: "The boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge. According to the character of the prince, he is not an irresponsible person. If you can really climb into the bed of the prince, maybe he will be responsible for you to the end."

Why did this sound inappropriate, Kou Xiao glared at him and asked, "What do you mean? You don't think this general... what kind of eyes do you have?"

Jiang Qiuming was taken aback, "No way, General, do you want...to capture the prince?" This is impossible!

Has his general eaten the bear's heart and leopard's guts?Can Shun Wang's courage and methods be inferior to others?He originally wanted to suggest to General Kou to design an accident and let the uncooked rice be cooked. Maybe the prince agreed as soon as he felt guilty, but he didn't expect that the general wanted to occupy people.

It's okay, it's really going to happen, and they don't know how they died.

"General, you might as well think about it again. Actually, for two people who really love each other, it doesn't matter who goes up and who goes down, right?"

Kou Xiao wanted to strangle him to death, is this a question of who gets on and who gets off?He is a burly general, how could he be the one below?

Kou Xiao imagined that scene for a while, imagining the appearance of Li Xu pressing on him... I can't think about it, I can't think about it, as soon as this scene came out, he has automatically filled up countless unspeakable pictures, but he really can't imagine himself being crushed. Pressed screen.

This is another big problem, Kou Xiao is getting more and more lost, and he simply doesn't think about it anymore, since there are so many problems, let's wait until we meet them.

Old Gong: "Am I not worthy to be a Gong?"

Military Master Jiang: "Are you worthy?"

Li Xu: "You think so beautifully."
