"Replying to Your Majesty, the training of troops cannot be underestimated.”
"As for the specific training plan, according to His Majesty's wishes, it is currently being formulated by the Wing Country Duke.”
Li Jing quickly said.
The Duke of Lu was Cheng Yaojin, and the Duke of E was Yuchi Jingde. These two were famous generals of the Great Tang, their reputations spreading far and wide.
Li Jing was more at ease to leave the training to these two.
If he could pick out a few good seedlings and nurture them, he might be able to add a few more tiger generals to the Great Tang.
Wing Country Duke Qin Qiong had the final say in the military training plan.
Originally, Qin Qiong had already started to gradually leave the royal court and prepare to live a retired life. However, the imperial edict had come down and he had no choice but to continue his career.
But fortunately, it was only a plan. Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde still had the final say in supervising the training of soldiers.
"Oh, it is indeed more suitable for Yaojin and Jingde to do this. Apothecary, I have something to tell you.”
Li Er nodded and looked at Li Jing.
"Your Majesty, please instruct me!"
Li Jing's expression turned serious. This was the first time he had heard such a formal arrangement. He hurriedly replied.
"Hmm…choose twenty or so experts from these soldiers and horses, and two or three centurions. Send them to a place called Little Qin Village to protect the village!”
"Remember, this matter has to be carried out in secret. Just ask Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde directly for the person. There's no need for selection or anything, understand?”
Li Er organized his words in his mind and said with a serious expression.
What?
Li Jing subconsciously thought that he had misheard.
Sending troops to protect the safety of a village?
Moreover, the name of this village seemed to have been heard in the morning court. It was the small Qin village that His Majesty wanted to build a road out of?
Could it be that there was something important in this village?
"This subject obeys the decree!"
"Your Majesty, there is one thing I don't understand. If we want to protect the Little Qin Village, twenty people…is that enough?”
Li Jing quickly agreed to this matter and then asked the question in his heart.
In his mind, what he was thinking at this moment was, could it be that the Little Qin Village had discovered some strange object that His Majesty wanted to send people to protect?
"Cough cough, that's all for now. When the road over there is repaired, Zhen plans to build a large military training ground.”
"When the time comes, let Cheng Yaojin and the others train there. What do you think?”
Chang 'an was a prosperous place after all. The place where Li Jing had arranged for Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde to train their troops was also outside Chang' an, in the open space between several villages.
In any case, they were training their troops. It just so happened that the area around Xiaoqin Village was desolate, so they could use a large area of land.
One was to train the soldiers, and the other was to protect the safety of the rhinoceros.
"Ah?"
Li Jing was stunned for a moment. Then, he thought for a moment and said," This…is not a problem. I just heard from Minister of Works Duan Lun that Xiaoqin Village is still some distance away from Chang 'an. If our army goes there, it will inevitably attract the attention of some people…"
Hearing this, Zhangsun Wuji, who was beside him, had already understood Li Er's meaning. He smiled and said,"Duke Wei, you don't have to worry. There's no need to bring them all at once. It's fine to bring them in batches for training.”
Li Jing hesitated and wanted to say something.
Li Er waved his hand and said," Alright, this matter is settled. Apothecary, pick out twenty agile ones first. Let them go over tomorrow morning."”
"As for the rest, we'll talk about it after the road is repaired.”
Seeing that the matter had been decided, Li Jing was puzzled, but he still said respectfully,""This subject obeys the decree!"
Not long after, Li Jing also left.
Looking at the sky, it was already dinner time.
Glancing at Zhangsun Wuji, Li Er had a strange expression.""Fuji, aren't you going home to eat? Is there anything else you want to say?”
At the side, Zhangsun Wuji let out an "uh" sound. Seeing that there was no one around, he laughed awkwardly."Your Majesty, after returning from the little doctor's place today, did the little doctor give you the recipe for the oil doused noodles?”
Good fellow!
Li Er cursed in his heart. So this old fellow was planning to make Oil Doused Noodles!
"Hmm, you have sharp eyes. That's right, the recipe for the Oil Doused Noodles has already been handed over to the royal chef. What do you want?”
Li Er snorted and looked at Zhangsun Wuji with interest.
"Then…this old minister will freeload a meal at Your Majesty's place. If Your Majesty can give this old minister the recipe of the Oil Doused Noodles, this old minister…"
Zhangsun Wuji said in embarrassment.
It couldn't be helped. The Oil Doused Noodles was too fragrant!
Even though he had just finished eating at noon, Zhangsun Wuji was still salivating when he thought about it. Many of the delicacies that he had eaten before were no longer fragrant.
"Haha, you're quite cunning. Since that's the case, then stay and eat together. Later, I'll get the royal chef to copy down a copy of the recipe and you can bring it back to study!”
Li Er laughed and didn't say anything else.
Not long after, a palace maid brought over two steaming hot bowls of noodles.
The tender green onions, the green cole, and the oil floating in the bowl emitted waves of fragrance.
At this moment, there were only two people in the royal study. Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji couldn't care less about their image. They picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
However, after taking a small bite, the two of them stopped at the same time.
