Chapter 809 The Emperor allowed Shen Zheng to train as a private soldier
A compound bow shocked everyone present, and even Yi Qun joined the chat.
Shen Zheng's mouth dried up and he sighed in his heart - without carbon fiber, the bow would definitely be heavier.
However, the characteristics of saving tension and high precision are still perfectly retained by the system.
The system even thoughtfully provides a sight diagram to facilitate "fool-style" aiming for bow users.
General Lin took a while to digest Shen Zheng's words, then asked her awkwardly, "Little Master Shen, how long will you stay in Shangjing this time?"
Before Shen Zheng could answer, he looked at the emperor again: "Your Majesty, I feel that it is a waste of talent for such a talented person like Mr. Shen to be placed in the local area. I heard that Tongan County is now on the right track, otherwise..."
"Do not......"
"no!"
Shen Zheng's words were immediately answered by Yu Shizhang.
She was in Tongan County because it was not prosperous enough, so she had to stay in Tongan County to make some money, and Yu Shizhang...
"Your Majesty, Shen Zheng almost lost his life during the encounter on the way..." Yu Shizhang said.
In fact, ever since Shen Zheng showed up, several people subconsciously avoided mentioning this topic.
But the first thing Yu Shizhang said was "death", which made the emperor and the empress feel upset and panicked.
General Lin was also frightened.
If something really happened to Xiao Shen...
What a huge loss that would be!
He frowned and began to debate with Yu Shizhang: "This place is dangerous. For the safety of Little Shen, she should stay in Shangjing! With this general here, who dares to touch Little Shen in Shangjing?!"
Yu Shizhang was unhappy when he heard this and changed the subject directly: "Who needs your protection, old man! In Shangjing, I will take care of Shen Zheng's safety and will not let her get hurt!"
When General Lin heard that he wanted to kidnap people, he became even more unhappy.
"Then why did Master Xiao Shen get into danger and disappear? It's because you didn't protect him well!"
With just one sentence, Yu Shizhang's raging arrogance was completely suppressed.
His face was gloomy and he moved his mouth several times, but he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.
Yes.
Shen Zheng is so smart. If it wasn’t for protecting herself, she would be fine.
During the days he was looking for Shen Zheng, he didn't know how he got through it.
Can't sleep, can't eat.
Even though my eyes were dry and sore, even though my stomach was growling with hunger, even though I was seeing stars just by standing there.
But he didn't have any other thoughts at all.
His mind was full of scenarios that Shen Zheng might encounter.
Was she drowning and being swept away by the water?
Would she fall into the hands of thieves, be bullied, beaten, or even...
When Yu Shizhang thought about this at that time, he felt like he was going crazy.
He felt sorry for Shen Zheng. If something really happened to Shen Zheng, she would never forgive him.
He didn't want to live either.
Yu Shizhang stopped talking, and General Lin became uncomfortable. "Hey..."
Yu Shizhang lowered his head.
Shen Zheng felt very uncomfortable seeing him like this, so she quickly took two steps towards him and tugged at his sleeve.
"I think it's worth it... Don't be sad."
What do you think it's worth?
Yu Shizhang subconsciously raised his head to look at her.
Do you think it's worth exchanging her life for your own life as an old man?
What's the value!
He already had one foot in the coffin, so why would he need Shen Zheng to exchange his life for his own?
Yu Shizhang moved his lips, "You can't be in trouble..."
"Isn't that all right?" Shen Zheng smiled at him, then turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I...have not yet made plans to return to the capital to take up my post."
There was also surprise in the emperor's eyes, "Why? Tongan County is already good enough."
To be honest, he had originally wanted Shen Zheng to return to the capital, and after seeing these colored glass products, this desire became even stronger.
Shen Zheng thought for a moment and came up with the most tenable reason: "Cloth shops, bookstores and clinics have not yet spread throughout the Great Zhou. And the roots of these shops are still in Tongan County. I want to watch over them myself."
The emperor frowned slightly.
He thinks these are no big deal.
Wouldn't it be fine if we just move all the people and things to Beijing?
"Gone?"
Seeing the emperor's expression of "I am not easy to convince", Shen Zheng paused, "Tong'an County has taken shape, and I am worried about handing it over to others. And for me, Tong'an County is very special. At that time, I... always have some wonderful ideas."
How can system rewards not be considered a brilliant idea?
In addition to the system and the prosperity of Tongan County, Shen Zheng actually has his own considerations.
If she returns to Beijing to take up the post, she will definitely have to face more people and things.
Right now, she still needs to work hard quietly for a while before returning to Beijing to surprise everyone.
The emperor could neither be convinced nor dissatisfied with her reason.
He was silent for a while, then managed to say, "Anyway, it's impossible to serve for the full three years. As for the rest, we'll discuss it in detail later."
Shen Zheng's eyes lit up slightly, and she heard the emperor say, "This time you will stay in Shangjing for a while. When you return, I will send people to you. In the future, they will protect your safety."
The emperor knew that the current Tongan County was no longer the Tongan County when Shen Zheng first went there.
After Shusi came into being, how many people were secretly watching her and waiting for an opportunity?
"Your Majesty, I feel that just sending people is not enough..." General Lin thought for a while and said boldly: "Today's Tongan County is called a county town, but in fact it is no longer comparable to a county town. I think, since the prefecture has soldiers and garrisons, why not let Tongan County also..."
Shen Zheng opened her eyes slightly when she heard that.
How come the strong old man is so smart?
She was worrying about how to improve the military strength of Tongan County!
She suppressed her excitement and quietly observed the emperor's expression.
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Okay. You can have county soldiers, but they must be directly under the command of Mr. Shen. No one else can be mobilized, including the prefect and the governor."
Directly under?
Shen Zheng looked at the emperor in astonishment.
Does this mean that the soldiers she trained belong only to her and only obey her?
Isn't this equivalent to raising private soldiers?
The emperor actually trusted her so much.
But...how will the system judge?
Shen Zheng was a little unsure.
But the pie is already in my mouth. I have to take a bite to know whether it is salty or bland, right?
"I will not let your majesty down!"
Fearing that the emperor would go back on his word, Shen Zheng was the first to shout.
"You..." The emperor smiled helplessly and said, "Let's talk about it in detail."
Shen Zheng nodded repeatedly.
"There is also a telescope." The emperor raised the telescope, "I will not show it to others today, after all, there are foreigners present."
Shen Zheng nodded.
She had thought so before.
The emperor thought of something else and asked, "What are the pieces of glass left in the box for? Are they also placed on the telescope?"
