What happens if the food is lacking oil? Xu Ping had no intuitive impression in his previous life. Only when he arrived in this world did he understand the importance of oil. Because he usually lacked oil, people in this era had a lot of appetite. Especially for the worker, farmers, and soldiers in the army, it was common for him to eat more than one pound of rice for a meal, which was unimaginable in his previous life.

In terms of transportation capacity, adding high-calorie food to food can reduce the logistics burden, and the most suitable ones are naturally fat and fat. Unfortunately, productivity has not yet developed to that point in this era, and there is no rational understanding. The main military ration is rice and wheat. Xu Ping had not yet started to reform, but Wang Gongchen thought of it by chance.

While the two were chatting, Zhong Shiheng hurried in and said to Xu Ping: "Jie Shuai, Liu Tuntian, who was on the mission to Qingtang, has returned. He is resting at the post station. There is also the commander of Lu, so he will come back together."

Xu Ping asked hurriedly: "Is their journey going smoothly? Are there any accidents? Have you seen a friend?"

"When I saw it, the sage was very respectful to them and agreed to the court to ask him to send troops to attack Yuanhao. Everything went smoothly on the way to Liu Tuntian and his party. However, when they came back, they encountered a surge in the Wei River outside Qinzhou City and encountered a small accident. Fortunately, they were in danger and returned safely. Now they are resting in the postmaster and will come to the commander's mansion to visit the commander's house in a while."

Xu Ping nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, just go well. As for the attack on Yuanhao by the side, just listen. He is still too busy to take the initiative to attack. The key is that he expressed his attitude to the court, and we will be able to handle the subsequent things. By the way, what about Master Qisong? How do the people from the Fan tribe treat him?"

"The master is a Taoist monk and a magical name given by the court. The purple robes are worshipped by the foreign tribes like gods. The foreign people believe in Buddhism and especially the Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. The Dharma name of Master Qisong is indefinitely, which is exactly the same as the appetite of the foreign people. On the way back, because the foreign people insisted on keeping him, he had no choice but to stay in the Guomen Temple in Hezhou and preached the Dharma for several months."

The Qiang was a Buddha, and there were quite a few monks. However, although those monks knew the Buddha, they did not know the precepts. In the words of this era, it was "the wife had sex and killed her lustlessly, and the mouth was so ungrateful that she never got tired of her flesh and blood, which was not the teaching of the Middle Land." A ascetic monk like Qisong was like a god compared to the local monks there. In addition, he was proficient in Buddhism and was also a number of monks in the Central Plains. No one was his opponent when he identified Buddhist scriptures. This trip to the west caused a great stir in Hehuang.

Xu Ping nodded repeatedly: "Very good! Very good! Although Buddhism has come from the west, it has already taken root in the Central Plains, just like his own. The Central Plains restrict Buddhism and preaching Buddhism to the outside world is also correct. The saying goes: Is it true to use Xia to transform into Yi?”

Qi Song came to the northwest alone. All his disciples were sent by Xu Ping's army. If they could take root in the hinterland of the Fan Qiang, they would have a fixed source of information. For external affairs, intelligence is particularly important. If they do not talk about whether the Buddhism he preached can be turned into Xia, they would just provide a foothold for the people who collect information and make great contributions.

After asking Zhong Shiheng about Liu Huan and his party about the general situation, Xu Ping ordered Tan Hu to call Wang Kai, Li Zhang, Tian Kuang and others, and send people out of the city to let Sang Yi, Zhang Kang and Gao Daquan, who were stationed outside the city, return to Qinzhou tomorrow. Liu Huan and others have a general idea of ​​the foreign feelings in the Hehuang area, and the major policies to explore the west must be decided. According to Xu Ping's habit, it is better to have their subordinates discuss and understand them in a unified manner.

Tan Hu Yingnuo turned around and was about to leave, but Xu Ping called him again and said, "By the way, the new Qin Fenglu Zhaima was called together by Wang Shougui. He was involved in military aircraft. He would not let him know about these things."

The last man, Zouma, was borne by returning to Beijing to report his duties, and Wang Shougui arrived in Qinzhou at the end of April.

In name, Zouma was under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Office, but in fact Bians could not control them, they just had a name. This position was somewhat similar to the military supervisor of the Tang Dynasty, but it did not have that much power. According to their duties, they could not interfere in specific military and political affairs, but only reported the information from the border areas independently to the emperor. However, most of the people who served as Zoumama were eunuchs, and their relationships were close to the emperor. Secret comments often influenced the court's evaluation of the border general, and Bians had to flatter them.

Of course, with Xu Ping and Zhao Zhen’s relationship, Li Zhang’s supervisor Jiyi is around him. No matter who is going to take it, it will not affect his status. Zhao Zhen sent Wang Shoujie to come because of this position.

Wang Shougui was the younger brother of Wang Shouzhong, the chief of Shaanxi Road. He entered the palace because of his brother's grace. One night in the palace, he caught fire. He first discovered that he guided Zhao Zhen and the Empress Dowager to a safe place, and thus promoted his merit to the head of the inner palace. Zhao Zhen sent him to remember his old merits and gave him a chance to make meritorious contributions. The most important thing is that he is cautious and has a proper attitude in his work.

Although there are many eunuchs who work outside, there are many domineering people, and there are many people who are cautious in their duties, and they cannot be generalized. Especially when they come to ministers like Xu Ping, there are no shortage of channels for communication with the emperor, and domineering people are seeking death.

The rain kept raining, and there was water accumulation on the ground of the Shuaiya, and the raindrops hit it and there were water splashes everywhere.

The public officials of the General Administration hurriedly packed up the official hall and prepared hot tea. Xu Ping and Wang Gongchen sat in the official hall and talked about gossip.

Not long after waiting, Wang Kai, Li Zhang, Tian Kuang and others arrived first. As soon as they sat down, Liu Huan and Lu Fang arrived.

Xu Ping stood up and greeted them and said to the two: "It's hard to go to Qingtang this time. Come on, you drink a bowl of hot tea to warm your body."

Liu Huan hurriedly bowed: "What is the identity of the manager? How can the subordinates afford such a tribute? The manager's position is settled."

Xu Ping sat down, everyone greeted the ceremony and sat down together.

After the tea was served, everyone had a drink. Xu Ping asked Liu Huan: "Is it going to Qingtang smoothly? How is Yu Siluo's attitude towards the court? It is said that the situation in the Hehuang area is extremely chaotic now. What kind of chaos is it?"

Liu Huan put down the tea and said, "Xiaguan went here mainly to announce the imperial edict to the sage. The matters of the Qingtang and the tibet tribe were told by the Xiaguan. The situation in Hehuang was still under Luti's jurisdiction. It was his own people to find out the news. When I saw the sage, I realized that because he was forced by Miaochuan and Zong Ge, he could not stay in Qingtang City. He had already arrived in Lijing City and was with the Qiao family. He was very happy to learn that the court had granted him a title and was very respectful to the court. When we came back, he also sent a thank-you envoy and tributed fifty horses. Now the envoys and horses were in the inn outside the city, and they came to visit him after they had the orders of the magistrate."

According to the rules set during the Tiansheng period, the envoys from the West came to Qinzhou first, and generally no longer advanced. The magistrate of Qinzhou was received and sent back on behalf of the court. Their tribute was no longer allowed to be transported by themselves or by people, but were escorted by the troops of each state. The cost of foreign countries was quite large, and the court did not want to be a sucker, so it was generally not allowed to enter the capital.

However, the sage is different in the end. Xu Ping still needs him to manage Hehuang, so it is still necessary to enter Beijing to win over.
