After dinner, the family sat in the front hall of the inn to drink tea, and the shopkeeper was driven away.
There were only a few maids and soldiers around.
Zhao Ziliang said to a few women: "I will go on an expedition in three days, and I don't know what the battle is about."
The vaccination is over at that time, so you can only take care of yourselves here.
Send someone to confirm the midwife tomorrow, in case it is too late to find a midwife if you really want to give birth.
It doesn’t matter if you spend more money, the main thing is to make sure that both adults and children are safe. thing" Princess Xinping said: "Husband, don't worry.
You will be taken care of by the third sister.
You should be fine."
Mrs.
Meng said: "These two are about to have a baby.
The slave family originally wanted to wait for them to have a baby before you and your son go to war.
However, military and state affairs cannot be delayed just because a woman wants to have a baby.
If the slave family takes care of the family, the husband will do it."
Don't worry, tomorrow the slave family will send someone to find the midwives, find a few more, and buy all the things that need to be purchased, so as not to have nothing when the baby is born."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Okay, every woman in our family is also a heroine, not inferior to men."
At this time, a soldier from the front came in and announced: "Commander, a group of Jincheng officers and soldiers came outside the inn.
They said it was Zhang Boji, the governor of Jincheng County, asking to see him."
"How did Zhang Boji, the governor of Jincheng County, find this place?"
Zhao Ziliang asked in confusion.
Zhao Ting asked: "Father, when our army arrived yesterday, Zhang Boji went to the military camp outside the city to ask for an audience.
At that time, my father was inspecting the military camps, and Zhang Boji returned first.
I didn't expect him to come here again."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "When my army arrived, he did not go out of the city to greet us.
He waited until our army had set up camp before going to ask for an audience.
No wonder this man has been an official in Longyou for so many years and is still just a Jincheng County Sheriff."
Princess Yining asked curiously: "Father, who is this Boji?
Why did father say that?"
Zhao Ziliang took a sip of tea and said: "Zhang Boji has been an official in Longyou for at least twenty years.
When I was just the military envoy of Hexi Dadou, the envoy of Longyou was General Huangfu Weiming, and Zhang Boji was the envoy of Longyou at that time.
A judge is not a formal official, but an auxiliary official.
However, if the chief official recommends it to the court and the emperor, the auxiliary official is completely qualified.
Feng Changqing, who was promoted to chief official, was just a guard at that time.
Later, he was gradually promoted to be the judge of Anxi Jiedu, and was even recommended by Gao Xianzhi to be the judge of Anxi Jiedu.
However, Zhang Boji has been getting worse and worse over the years.
Among them, he is afraid that he has nothing to do with Huangfu.
Wei Ming's matter is not irrelevant.
We can't stop seeing him just because he didn't bring anyone out of the city to greet him.
Let's go and bring him in."
The soldier promised: "Promise" The openness of the Tang Dynasty was far less severe than the strict protection between men and women in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Now that guests are visiting, Zhao Ziliang will not let the two wives and daughter-in-law avoid it, and they themselves have no intention of avoiding it.
Zhang Boji was quickly led in by his own soldiers, and he bowed to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, Zhang Boji, pays homage to the king, princess, lord and lady, and has met the second young master."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said: "Prefect Zhang came here without courtesy and showed me his seat."
"Thank you, Lord Prince" After the maid brought tea, Zhao Ziliang invited him to drink tea.
After some polite remarks, Zhang Boji put down the teacup and said, "Your Majesty, when the army arrived in Jincheng yesterday, the lower official was in the process of raising arms, baggage, and food for the army, so there was a delay.
At that time, when the subordinate rushed to the military camp to ask for an audience, The commander-in-chief was inspecting the military camp again, so the official had to go back first.

Today, the official had to deal with official duties again during the day, so he could only go to see him after he was on duty.
However, he heard that the prince and the second son had come to the city.
After inquiring, he found out about the prince's family.
I’m staying at this inn, I came unexpectedly, I’m sorry to disturb you, please forgive me.”
Zhao Ziliang asked hurriedly: "Wait a minute, what did you say just now?
You said you were raising weapons, supplies and food for the army yesterday?"
Zhang Boji cupped his hands and said: "Yes, the commander-in-chief has received news a month ago that the imperial court has issued an order for the commander-in-chief to lead 200,000 troops to rush to Longyou to fight the Tibetan army.
The commander thought that the imperial edict was urgently urged. , the county prince is bound to set off in a hurry, ordnance, baggage and food It must be insufficient, and the Tibetan army is in a terrible position in Longyou.
After the county king leads the army, he must go into battle in the shortest possible time.
I am afraid that there is not enough time to wait for the court's follow-up supplies, so Xiaguan has been waiting for more than a month.
Raising these things” Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and looked at Zhang Boji.
He had only met Zhang Boji twice and was not very impressed.
Only then did he realize that this man was thin and frail.
Because he had been in Xiliang for a long time, the skin on his face was blown by the wind and sand like an old tree.
The skin is the same, but the eyes reveal stubbornness.
"Master Zhang, how much ordnance, food, grass and baggage have you raised?"
"Back to the king, I have raised a total of two million arrows, 50,000 stones of grain, 1.2 million bundles of fodder, 50,000 fur coats, 20,000 tents, and 5,000 cattle and sheep."
The women didn't know what the numbers Zhang Boji said meant, but Zhao Ziliang and Zhao Ting were dumbfounded.
Zhao Ziliang came back to his senses and asked: "Prefect Zhang, can you take me to see the supplies you have raised?"
Zhang Boji was stunned and asked: "Now?"
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Yes, right now."
"Okay, please, the prince," Zhang Boji stood up and said with cupped hands.
Several women stayed in the inn, and Zhao Ting also stayed with his wife, Princess Yining.
Zhao Ziliang and several soldiers followed Zhang Boji to a huge open space in the city, surrounded by Jincheng officers and soldiers standing guard.
When a guerrilla general saw Zhang Boji coming, he quickly came forward with a few soldiers to greet him.
He cupped his fists and said, "Sir, why are you here so late?"
"Come and take a look, is there nothing going on here?"
"Come back to my lord, everything is normal."
"Okay."
Zhang Boji nodded and introduced to the guerrilla general responsible for guarding: "The person next to me is the Prince of Jiangling County, the current Taiwei, and the Minister of the Ministry of War.
The Prince of Zhao wants to come and see the supplies we have prepared. , you take us around” The guerrilla general was very excited when he heard this.
He immediately clasped his fists and said: "I am blind and cannot see Mount Tai.
Please forgive me.
Your Majesty, please follow me."
In this wide open space, bags of grain were piled neatly high, just like bunches of fodder.
As everyone walked, Zhang Boji introduced: "Your Majesty, each bag of grain is worth one stone.
There are 50,000 bags and these fodders, a total of 1.2 million bundles.
In order to raise these fodders, I have ordered all the grains in Jincheng County to be collected."
The herdsmen collected all the fodder they had saved, and ordered the people in the county to harvest the fodder and send it to Jincheng, so as to avoid this year's corvee."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Prefect Zhang's method is good.
It is a good way to raise fodder in the shortest time."
Everyone walked to Lingyi area again and saw bundles of arrows stacked up to form a mountain.
Zhang Boji said: "Your Majesty, please see, there are arrows piled up here.
A small bundle contains fifty arrows, and a large bundle contains fifty arrows."
It's a thousand.

There are two thousand big bundles here, two million arrows.
To make so many arrows in such a short time is still based on the method used by the prince in Hexi. , we purchased raw materials and asked the common people to make arrow shafts and feathers.
The weapons supervisor used molds to make arrows in large quantities, and then completed the assembly.
The common people heard that these arrows were used to fight the Tubo people for the king's army, so they made arrow shafts.
He and Feather are very motivated.
In fact, the common people hope to help Master Wang as much as possible, and hope that the prince will lead Master Wang to drive away the Tubo people."
After visiting the grain and grass material storage area, Zhao Ziliang said to Zhang Boji: "Thank you, Mr.
Zhang.
I was still dissatisfied with Mr.
Zhang yesterday, so our 200,000 troops came to Jincheng to fight the Tibetan army.
Mr.
Zhang, as the governor of Jincheng County, did not come to greet him.
It's really rude.
I didn't expect Master Zhang to be busy raising food, grass and baggage for the army.
I wrongly blamed Master Zhang."
After saying this, he clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Boji.
Zhang Boji quickly stepped aside and said: "The king's words are serious.
I don't know how to be an official.
I knew that the king was coming with his army, but he didn't go to greet him.
It's really rude."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "No, you are doing the right thing.
If everyone in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was as pragmatic as you, how could the Tang Dynasty be reduced to this land?
With these grain and grass supplies raised by Prefect Zhang, our army can Don’t worry, you have fought against the Tubo army.
This is the first victory against the Tibetan army.
I will count you as Governor Zhang."
Zhang Boji quickly raised his hands and said humbly: "The prince has given you the award.
This is not the credit of the official alone, but the credit of all the officials in the Jincheng Prefecture and all the common people in the Jincheng area."
Zhao Ziliang thought that people like Zhang Boji should not be limited to a small golden city.
With his talents and temperament, if he was in a temple, the role he could play would be huge.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ziliang said to Zhang Boji: "Prefect Zhang, we are fighting against the Tibetan army this time.
I don't know how long the battle will last, but as the war continues, the army's demand for food, grass and baggage must be huge.
You are a local parent." , so I would like to ask you to assist in the transportation of food, grass, ordnance and other baggage, what do you think?"
Zhang Boji cupped his hands and said: "As the saying goes, the army goes ahead before the food and grass are moved.
Since the county king trusts the official, the official will do his best to assist in the transportation of food, grass and baggage."
"Okay."
Zhao Ziliang was very happy.
He remembered something and asked: "Prefect Zhang, you saw it at the inn just now.
My fourth wife, Princess Xinping, and my daughter-in-law, Princess Yining, are about to give birth.
As a local parent, do you know whether the local There are experienced midwives” Zhang Boji said: "Xiaoguan is usually busy with official duties and didn't pay attention to this matter.
However, since the county prince asked about it, I will ask someone after I go back.
I will definitely find some experienced midwives for the county prince."
Seeing Zhang Boji agree to help, Zhao Ziliang felt relieved, "In this case, finding a few midwives will trouble Prefect Zhang."
"The prince is polite, this is what a lower official should do":
