Of course it is not the main courtyard of the plum garden, but the backyard of the plum garden!

The dry well is next to the big-leaf banyan!

Li Chenan just came here a few days ago, so of course he would not remember it wrong.

"Sir, it's in the plum garden."

"Where is Xuanjia Camp?"

"Thirty miles outside the city."

"There are craftsmen from the Ministry of Works outside."

“We don’t go out through the main entrance.”

“…from where?”

"back door!"

...

The backyard wall has an inconspicuous door that is exactly the same as the blue bricks, and is also covered with moss!

If Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong had not pushed the door open, Li Chenan thought that even if he had lived here for many years, it would have been difficult to find it.

Passing through the door was a drainage ditch about three feet wide, and opposite there was a wall and a door.

After crossing the ditch, Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong pushed open the door.

Behind the door is a clean yard.

There was an old man in the yard, a dog, a stable, and a dark carriage outside the stable.

When Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong appeared here, the old man just looked up and the dog looked up.

The old man stood up silently, took off the whip from the wall, and walked towards the stable next to which there were two horses.

He took out the two horses, put them on the carriage, sat in the front room, took out a brass bluff about the long side of his waist and held it in his mouth.

He took out a pinch of tobacco and stuffed it into the tobacco pot, ignited the fire stick, took a deep breath, and vomited a thick smoke.

The dog buried his head again and curled up in the grass nest in the corner of the wall, just in time to bask in the sun that was already setting in the west.

Wang Zheng Jinzhong opened the door of the carriage, "Sir, please get in the car!"

...

...

Li Chenan was quite surprised by the arrangement of the Imperial City Department.

But such cautious behavior is enough to prove the importance and mystery of Xuanjia Camp.

But the tunnel is connected to the plum garden, which is a bit weird.

The former owner of Meiyuan is Princess Yun'an Lu Ruyi. She and Ma Qiao Zitong of the county disappeared bizarrely in the event in the winter of the third year of Zhaohua...

Could it be that he left this tunnel?

Or maybe the backyard on this back door?

The Emperor gave this plum garden to himself...

"Does the emperor know this passage?"

"Sir, the emperor probably doesn't know."

"Does the emperor know Xuanjia Camp?"

"This emperor knows."

After a pause, Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong whispered again: "Maybe it is because of the existence of this Xuanjia Camp, the emperor... the emperor actually has some tricks on our Lord Changsun!"

Li Chenan was slightly stunned. In this way, the emperor wanted to dismiss Changsun Jinghong, the imperial city chief, but was afraid of the Xuanjia Camp that was only loyal to Changsun Jinghong?

Li Chenan didn't believe it very much because it was a society where imperial power was supreme.

"Who is the old man driving?"

"Old Wei."

"Let me tell me about the situation of Xuanjia Camp first."

"Okay, the current camp of Xuanjia Camp is named Zhou Zheng. He is 38 years old. I don't know the origin of the official, but he must have been born in the army!"

“Why?”

"Because Zhou Zheng is responsible for everything except the martial arts and marksmanship of Lord Changsun himself."

"And what Zhou Zheng does is to train them, no matter how rain, snow, wind and frost, no matter how severe cold and heat... I don't go to that place many times, but every time I go, I see them training!"

"The training includes riding skills, tactical cooperation, etc. These things are only available in the army. Now Ningguo's army... except for the Shenwu Army of the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion and the Chiyan Army stationed in Wuya Pass, the other border subordinates should not have said anything, they are all a group of people!"

Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong sighed suddenly and said, "Actually, I think it's no wonder that the border troops are empty and the treasury is empty. Those border soldiers can't even have enough food to eat. How about training? How about fighting?"

When Li Chenan heard this, he asked: "Where does the expenses of our Xuanjia Camp come from?"

Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong paused and suddenly grinned, "Sir, of course, Lord Changsun was thinking about a solution before, but now that Lord Changsun has handed over the Xuanjia Camp to you... You will have to worry about this in the future."

"Xiaguan is actually thinking that Lord Changsun is old, so he probably doesn't have the energy to find a way to get money!"

Li Chenan was shocked.

"How much does Xuanjia Camp cost per month?"

"Sir, Lord Changsun once said that he said that half of the older children would die of eating... Although those children are young now, their training intensity is greater and their appetite is probably greater than before."

"Mr. Changsun said that if you want to train a good soldier, you must first give them good food, so their food has always been very good, which is much better than the food in our seven places."

"Actually, what people eat is not much, the biggest expense is those war horses... Lord, those war horses are the best war horses that Lord Changsun got from Hongyuan!"

"A horse is worth three thousand taels of silver!"

"The number three hundred people are not only equipped with 300 war horses, but at least 600!"

This is not what Li Chenan knows. He asked Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong in confusion.

Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong explained: "Long-distance raids, let alone people can't stand it, so it can't stand it!"

"So you have to rotate!"

"In addition, horses also have birth, old age, sickness and death, so it is definitely not wrong to raise more."

"The war horse is different from mules and horses. It can't just eat grass. It needs to eat more food!"

"To put it bluntly, a real war horse can eat better than many people!"

"Now that the group of horses has passed their best condition, it's almost time to change them again... Sir, you have to prepare at least two million taels of silver!"

Li Chen'an's eyes suddenly opened wide, but Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong said again:

"There is another expense that is the armor of those warriors!"

"After all, the existence of the Xuanjia Army is not favored by the emperor, so Mr. Changsun is not very good at getting serious equipment from the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War."

"Then you have to find folk blacksmiths to smel."

"The price of a piece of full body armor is that even if it is a little rough, it will cost fifty taels of silver."

"And the price of a long knife is almost twenty taels of silver, and there are some miscellaneous things, such as bedding, shoes, boots, clothes, etc. they need to sleep."

After Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong said these words, he leaned back slightly and sighed: "It's not easy for Mr. Changsun over the years!"

"Luckily, you are here!"

He leaned over again and smiled very vulgarly:

"Miss Zhongli is a rich man!"

"In addition, you have the status of the eldest son of the emperor, so it is not difficult to come and get some cheap equipment from the Ordnance Department."

Li Chenan suddenly felt that he had become a sucker!

"Just because Lord Changsun can't afford to support this Xuanjia Camp, I'll take over?"

"Your Majesty is not completely correct. After all, it is really worth it to have the already formed Xuanjia Camp!"

While the two of them were talking, the carriage stopped.

Li Chen'an got off the carriage.

In front of me is a mountain that can’t be seen!

"This is the West Mountain."

"Xuanjia Camp is in the West Mountain."

"The carriage cannot move forward, please!"
Chapter completed!
