Chapter 427 Preparations

Mrs. Zheng gave Zhang Changzong a magic needle and gave him two courages. Then, he was completely out of trouble and no longer angry. He went back to sleep for a while, got up in the morning and practiced martial arts with his wife and daughter, and after she paid tribute to her mother-in-law, she went out and didn't even eat breakfast at home.

When Princess Taiping used food, she knew that her son-in-law had gone out, so she summoned her daughter and granddaughter to have dinner together. She asked casually: "What are Liulang busy with? She went out on the first day after she came back, and she didn't even have food for food with me, so she was so busy?"

Xue Chongxiu knew that her mother was either really angry or used to teasing Liulang for casual words, and smiled and said, "After all, she has not been in Chang'an for many years. Everyone in Chang'an needs to do everything, and the palace... In the past few days, letting her daughter not care about it even if she is a daughter. She asked her mother to help me hand in the words and signs, waiting for the imperial concubine in the palace to summon her."

Princess Taiping heard that she was going to hand over the sign to the palace, but she didn't say anything. After nodding, she said, "Although Brother Liulang returned to her hometown to mourn because of Ding You, Zhang has other tribesmen in Beijing. As the eldest wife of your room, you have to be more busy these days. I originally wanted to keep you for a few more days. Since that's the case, I'll send someone to clean up the house first. After everything is done, come and stay for a few days."

"Thank you for your kindness, mother."

Xue Chongxiu accompanied his mother to eat court food and sent his daughter to Mrs. Zheng's place, and then began to work hard on his own. The couple had not been in Chang'an for many years. Now that Wei is gone, the Zhang family brothers set up separate households, and Zhang Changzong has a mansion from Yu Ci. This time when he comes back to Chang'an, he does not need to go back to the mansion from Zhang's family in the capital, but can move to the mansion from Yu Ci.

After everything was busy, the couple was busy with the male protagonist and the female protagonist inside, and it took several days to pass. This was because Zhang Changzong and Xue Chongxiu had many people in Beijing, and many things did not need to be temporarily purchased. They just needed to move them directly into the house.

After moving, Zhang Changzong took his wife and children to his second uncle's house for a day, and then went to his third and fourth uncles' houses, and the relatives of the Western Palace were gone. It was the turn of the commander. Before the palace could send a summoning word, Zhang Changzong went to visit Chen Zi'ang first. After Zhang Changzong finished walking, his relatives went to his house to visit him, carrying wine, and also brought his wife and daughter.

Originally, he was going to visit Li Qinrang, but a few years ago, when Zhang Changzong was still in the northern border, he finally passed the imperial examination and was in the Hanlin Academy for two years. He went to the relationship of Princess Taiping and went out of Beijing to become an official. However, Chen Zi'ang never became an official and married a wife. His son is currently six years old and can make a fuss.

When he saw someone, he saluted and called his junior brother to a six-year-old kid. Chen Zi'ang pulled Zhang Changzong to the study and asked him first: "I have been waiting for you for eight years in the past when you fooled me, are you still serious?"

That expression and tone made Zhang Changzong laugh. After laughing, he bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Chen Shi, waiting for a long time, the fleet is not formed and the staff is immature. How dare I let Master Chen board the ship? Fortunately, after a few years of experience, I finally looked a little bit. The disciple came to the door today just to ask Master Chen, are he still ambitious?"

Chen Zi'ang looked unhappy before, but when he heard this, he was stunned: "Is it done?"

Zhang Changzong was calm and composed: "It's done! In recent years, everyone around Fusang, Baekje, and Silla have been traveling all over the world. Champa and Tianzhu are also familiar with me. My Wenying has also been trained, which is enough to lead troops to protect the fleet. If Chen Shi boards the ship, the matter will be done!"

The maturity of a large fleet requires not only the support of mature and advanced shipyards, but also the maturity of navigators and sailors with rich navigation experience, as well as sufficient number and powerful guards. There have been rumors in the world that a century-old navy has never been easy to go to sea.

Zhang Changzong did not need to build a navy, but it was not easy to build a fleet sailing on the sea. And neither Zhang Changzong nor Xue Chongxiu were experts in these things. They had nothing but money, and they could only cultivate everything from scratch. Fortunately, after so many years, they finally became.

Zhang Changzong smiled and looked at Chen Zi'ang with a surprised face and asked, "Where are you, Mr. Chen? Are you ready?"

Chen Zi'ang Siwen wiped his face and slapped the table: "Do you still need to ask? I was ready many years ago! You asked me to learn swimming, learn; learn all kinds of knowledge about navigation, learn..."

By counting his fingers, he counted them all, all of which were stuffed by Zhang Changzong over the years. Comrade Chen was a talented man, but Li Bai would be a rare talent in a thousand years in the future. However, Li Bai would not be able to manage politics and country.

Comrade Chen was familiar with military affairs on land, but the matter on the sea was not accurate. Zhang Changzong hesitated for a moment and stuffed a lot of things to Lao Chen in order to be responsible for the entire fleet. Fortunately, although Lao Chen was arrogant, he could still distinguish the priorities and learned everything without saying a word.

Zhang Changzong looked at Lao Chen's fingers and counting, and smiled with a smile on his face. After Lao Chen finished counting, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, spread it gently in front of Lao Chen, and said, "Sir Chen, please look."

Chen Zi'ang lowered his head and saw that it was a thing with many curved thin lines. It looked like a picture, but he had never seen the painting method before. He said it was a painting, but there was no layout. Chen Zi'ang asked in confusion: "What is this?"

Zhang Changzong said: "Maps, or maps, are all the same."

As a soldier, remembering maps and drawing maps is a necessary skill. As the top soldier, Zhang Changzong has a higher diploma and is even more expert. When he was a soldier, he could draw maps with extremely small errors with his hands. Now, although many years have passed, for a soul from later generations, that map has long been hidden deep in his heart and will never be forgotten. It is his origin and his roots.

"Maps? This... I have never seen such a picture. It seems to be more refined, faster, and in detail."

At that moment, Zhang Changzong pointed at Chen Zi'ang and explained in detail. The two of them had questions and answers. One taught me carefully and seriously, and the other learned carefully. He was very excited and had not seen him in the study for several hours.

Xue Chongxiu still has affairs, and Baoning is young, so she can't rest assured that she left Zhang Changzong in the Chen Mansion. She went back first. She had just returned to the princess's mansion. The house orders of the mansion came to report. The palace sent someone to say that Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine summoned the wife of Peiguo, the princess, and the county horses tomorrow.

Xue Chongxiu sighed and had to ask someone to report to Zhang Changzong, and then asked someone to find Princess Taiping to find Jinwu to make a note, so that Zhang Changzong could come back overnight.

Zhang Changzong rushed back after receiving the news, and felt a little apprehensive: "What trouble is causing now! I don't want to deal with the affairs of Beijing at all."

Xue Chongxiu took off his clothes and said, "You have the credit for sanctioning the northern border. You are famous all over the world. Although you have been in the midst of three years, you have reputations in the court and the country. If you can get you to serve as an official, Your Majesty will not be controlled everywhere as you are now."

Zhang Changzong frowned and remained silent for a while. He took his wife's hand and sat down. After thinking for a while, he said, "I know it myself, but it's not the time yet. Besides, I still have something to do here."

"What's the matter?"

Xue Chongxiu asked curiously: "I see you being busy these days, so I don't have time to ask you, what are your plans?"

Zhang Changzong paused, bowed his head and whispered in a low voice. Xue Chongxiu looked surprised: "Is this... sure?"

"Only 50%."
