Chapter 540

When Zhou Ping returned home, it was dark, and the door of Zhou's house was still surrounded by people who wanted to see the new Zhou Shangshu.

The sedan bearer directly carried the sedan chair into the door and stopped in the yard.

The housekeeper stood beside the sedan chair and said respectfully:

"My Lord, there are Yang Zong, the assassin of Shazhou, Shi Gu, the governor of Jiangzhou Weifu, Wen Jiang, the governor of Luojiang Navy, and 12 officials at the county level. My Lord, this is a prayer."

Zhou Ping took the worship note, glanced at the three copies of the worship notes of the officials of the frontier officials, and ordered in a tired tone:

"These three people all return their thanks. Sir, I'm busy. I've been involved in major events in the army recently. I have no time."

The housekeeper took the invitation and bowed down and said, "Wenjiang is the general valued by the Lord. It is said that the Lord contributed to Wenjiang's defection."

Zhou Ping picked his eyebrows and thought carefully:

"Then pick out the posts in Wenjiang alone. You can meet me in person and mention my difficulties."

The housekeeper answered. Zhou Ping went into the bedroom with a tired body and saw his wife and daughter whispering.

"The master is back."

"My father is back."

The two of them asked about it. Mrs. Zhou Ping sat down and poured him tea. She complained:

"The master is now six books of history. You can't just focus on business, but don't be tired."

Zhou Ping drank up the tea, looked at his daughter, and thought of Dani's offer when she discussed the establishment of the ordnance mansion today. She was unbalanced in an instant.

"Zhiqing, you're old enough. Haven't you ever thought about joining the army or becoming an official, just thinking about getting married?"

Daughter Zhou Zhiqing looked at her father in amazement. She didn't understand why her father suddenly wanted to join the army. Is that what girls can do? General Xie Wan forced it out. Now there are no people.

The lady was immediately dissatisfied: "what's the matter with you again? How can you just think of pushing your daughter into the fire pit."

Zhou Ping said about Dani and propped up the whole family with her weak shoulders. Even the LORD was amazed. Now she was allowed to act as the chief officer of the ordnance mansion. Later, she will be general Mingwei from the fourth grade.

"The ordnance mansion will not only be the current grade, but I guess the Lord wants to completely separate the ordnance mansion, or the same grade as the Taixi Academy of Sciences, subordinate to the Secretary of the army, but naturally independent."

"The chief officer of the Academy of Sciences, second only to the half grade official of the Secretary of the army, has reached this point with a woman. Colonel Wang is the first person."

The lady listened to Zhou Ping's remarks and her eyes began to glow.

"Doesn't the ordnance mansion need to go to the front? If so, we can let our daughter in. Even if we marry someone, we don't have to teach our husband and children at home. Our daughter can't be an ordinary family if she marries someone."

Zhou Ping snorted coldly: "what ordinary people, I Zhou Ping started from humble beginnings. What's the matter with ordinary people? Ordinary people can't enter the ordnance mansion as officials. The Lord has said that in the future, these officials should pass the examination, and women can also participate in the examination."

Zhou Zhiqing listened to her father's words, and a light flashed in her eyes. Her Majesty, general Xie Wan and school captain Dong Ling were all examples she admired. According to the meaning of her father's words, it seems that the Lord will open a new exam again. She must participate in the exam and become a court official.

Holding a wrinkled arm, Zhou Zhiqing said with Jiao: "father, what exam, what content are you going to take..."

At the same time, similar to the scene at Zhou Ping's home, it began to be staged in the homes of officials everywhere in the capital. They were all concerned about the content of the examination and the grade after passing the examination.

In the palace, Su Yun was telling Su Lu what he had seen and heard in the north. What happened during the elimination of the remnants of Rouran, the performance of your generals.

"It's inconvenient for us to transport our baggage. Although there are sleds and skates proposed by your brother, the weather is too cold and the horse can't stand it."

"Fortunately, there are large birds, which solves some of the problems of baggage transportation. If there is no transportation of birds, I really don't know what the result will be."

When the war entered the final stage, it was to calm down bandits and deserters everywhere and appease the herdsmen. There was a large amount of food, grass and baggage needed. Old fan of the baggage camp almost cleaned his hair.

Su Lu nodded: "now we lack the tools to transport luggage. Carriages can't run. Although sledges can run, they are a great test for horses. If only we could develop trains."

"Train?"

Su Yun looked at his brother in amazement. What's new.

Su Lu said casually, "a means of transportation, walking on a specific track, can transport a large number of luggage and materials day and night. As long as there is a specific track, this car can travel all over the world."

Su Yun glanced: "what you think is very beautiful, brother. Let's think of something practical, such as offering horses that can pull sleds in extremely cold weather, or letting the ordnance mansion develop new and bigger birds."

Su Lu asked Gao Dabao nearby, "Dabao, your family is from Jiangzhou. How long does it take to go here from Jiangzhou?"

Gao Dabao carefully calculated, "it will take 20 days to return to the Lord. Unless I whip my horse quickly, I can be faster."

Su Lu shook his head. He just went to Jiangzhou. Later, he will destroy the state of Tang and occupy the land of Southern Tang. It will take longer from the south to the north. I'm afraid it will take three months to go north and south.

"We still have to get the delivery equipment out."

"By the way, I'm discussing with the people of the military headquarters to reform the military system. I'm going to set up a staff office in the military headquarters and mobilize young front-line generals to serve in the staff office. Are you interested?"

Su Lu looked at Su Yun and asked.

Su Yun's eyes lit up: "how many products are the staff general?"

Su Yun smiled: "the five grades start, the highest is the three grades, and the rest are the general staff of the flying bird army, the general staff of the crossbow artillery and the general staff of the infantry army."

Su Yun's eyes dribbled and whirled: "brother, who do you prefer to be the staff general of these three grades?"

Su Lu shook his head: "I haven't thought about the candidate yet. Of course, Dong Ling is the most suitable candidate, but she has insufficient qualifications. She just leaped the rank and promoted the general. Now she has suddenly reached a high position, which is not suitable."

Su Yun said with a smile, "if I take the princess as the staff general of these three grades, I should have no problem."

Su Lu looked at Su Yun, "the grade is enough, but you can't suppress the young generals transferred from the front line to the staff office."

Su Yun didn't care at all and said, "let Dong Ling come too. She will serve as the general staff of the infantry army. Without my help, she can clean up those pricks."

Su Lu took a look at Su Yun: "then you have to think about it. The grade of the staff office must not be so high. The highest is only from the fourth grade, and it will rise slowly behind."

What has the final say of brother Su? "I know, brother, you have the final say, yes, brother, if you have that car, how many days do we need to go back to our hometown?"

"Half a day"

Su Lu said casually. He used to take the high-speed railway for hundreds of miles and finished it in a few hours. He still said more in this half day.
