Lan Yu walked in front of Xu Da with a respectful expression.
Although Lan Yu respected Xu Da very much previously, there was still a trace of unwillingness in her heart.
After this day, Lan Yu saw that Xu Da was like an iron man and was finally completely convinced.
The Duke of Wei is not old yet…Lan Yu felt emotional, so she asked,"
"General, what are in these boxes? Also, why did that floor keep producing these boxes?”
Xu Da glanced at him and said without changing his expression,
"This is not a suitable place to discuss this matter. Don't think that our work is done. We still have to count all the boxes.”
"Yes, sir!" Lan Yu cupped his fists and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Xu Da thought for a moment and was about to leave when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind. He paused for a moment and turned around. Then, he saw a young man walking out from inside.
"State Preceptor!" Xu Da was stunned, and his entire person became excited. This was a god-like existence.
"Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!" Xu Da clasped his hands in a respectful manner. Lan Yu, Geng Bingwen, and the others looked at each other and also clasped their hands in greeting.
Although they didn't know who this kid was, since the Duke of Wei had already bowed, how could they, his subordinates, not bow?
Lu Ya glanced ahead and smiled.
"You've all worked hard."
"It's not hard, it's not hard!" Xu Da hurriedly said,
"Thank you, Imperial Preceptor, for your gift. Xu Da is extremely grateful!”
Lu Ya walked forward and patted Xu Da's shoulder. He said meaningfully,""Old Xu, you have to do a good job of counting and controlling the canned food. Don't let some people with ulterior motives…take it for themselves.”
Xu Da's expression changed.
After Lu Ya finished speaking, he moved closer to Xu Da. His lips moved, and he said in a voice that only Xu Da could hear,
"22.4 million."
This was the total number of cans. Lu Ya only told Xu Da about it. As for what it meant, Lu Ya believed that Xu Da would understand.
As long as the number of cans did not match this number during the inventory check, it meant that…someone had pocketed it!
Xu Da naturally understood Lu Ya's meaning in an instant. His expression did not change, but he glanced at the generals from the corner of his eyes.
After Lu Ya finished speaking, he didn't say anything else. With his hands behind his back, he walked out of the Stargazing Tower. He was going to complete the second mission.
After Lu Ya left, Xu Da glanced at the generals behind him and said indifferently,""Someone, go and call the comptroller over.”
Not long after, the comptroller was brought over. Xu Da stared into his eyes and questioned,
"Let me ask you, how many boxes did you move?”
Cold sweat broke out on the comptroller's forehead as he stuttered,"
"General, General, there are too many of them. I'm not too sure. General, please order a new count.”
Xu Da's expression did not change as he nodded and said,
"Alright, I'll give you one more chance. Tomorrow at this time, give me an exact number, do you understand?”
"I understand!" The comptroller was relieved.
Xu Da stepped forward and said calmly,
"Remember, you have to count everything.”
"Yes, sir!"
……
In the Imperial Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang finished dealing with the government affairs for the whole day and went straight to the Yi Garden in the harem.
Empress Ma had not slept yet. She was doing needlework with a few palace maids. Even though she was the Empress, she did not put on any airs.
Ma Xiuying followed Zhu Yuanzhang through the wind and rain, experiencing countless life and death tribulations. Her dignified face was filled with vicissitudes of life, and she was dressed very simply. She was only wearing ordinary silk clothes and did not have any jewelry on her.
"Sister, I'm here to see you." Zhu Yuanzhang walked in from outside in a hurry.
Seeing this, Empress Ma was no longer surprised.
If it were anyone else, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be so rude. He would always have a dignified appearance. Only in front of Empress Ma could he tear off his disguise and be at ease.
"Chongba, it's so late. Why haven't you rested yet?”Empress Ma asked while doing needlework.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved at the palace maids, signaling them to leave. Soon, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were left in the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang moved a chair for himself and sat opposite Empress Ma. He said mysteriously,"
"Sister, I'll treat you to delicious food today.”
Empress Ma was not interested at all. She curled her lips and said,"
"It's late at night, don't tease me. If you want to take the opportunity to talk to me about national affairs, forget it. I'm not interested in listening.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was strong and decisive in court politics. Whenever he encountered something that did not go his way, he would come to Empress Ma and confide in her. He would also talk to her about this minister's waste and that official's incompetence.
Empress Ma didn't want to hear him say this now.
Especially since there were many things in the harem recently. She was too busy to deal with them. How could she have the time to listen to Zhu Yuanzhang talk about national affairs?
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"
"Sister, don't worry. We won't talk about those annoying things today. We really have something delicious to share with you.”
Empress Ma bit off a thread and rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang. She said in a bad mood,
"You're already the emperor, and we're also the empress. What delicacies have we not eaten? I think you've been too tired recently and have tormented yourself.”
"I've told you long ago not to tire yourself out and do everything by yourself. If it's not important, you can leave it to the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister to handle, but you just don't listen.”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled foolishly and did not refute.
P.S. Are there flowers? Do you have tickets? Give it to me.
Waiting online, quite anxious!
