Chapter 249

"Why, you can't delay the things that your father told you, so can you delay the affairs of this princess? Your heads are heads, so the heads of the other soldiers who are fighting bloody battles in front are not heads?" Princess Anle hated Looking at the officials of the supply battalion kneeling in front with hatred, he said coldly.

The officials of the supply battalion glanced at each other, and finally the chief officer gritted his teeth, looked up at Princess Anle and said, "Return to the princess, the prince's explanation is a military order, so we naturally dare not delay. We usually give orders to the princess. Things like this are always handled by others without saying anything, but this time..."

"There are priorities. The officials and the others are just focusing on business and have not done anything wrong. Please calm down the princess and forgive us."

"The bamboo craftsman was recruited by the order of the princess. If you need it, won't you recruit people yourself? Is it reasonable for you to stop the people recruited by the princess and go to your business?" An Le County The Lord snorted twice, looked at the supply camp in front of him and said about it.

"Princess Rong Rong." The chief officer of the supply camp gave a wry smile and said, "If the princess hadn't recruited all the skilled bamboo craftsmen in the vicinity, and the ordinary bamboo craftsmen's skills can't meet the requirements, we wouldn't have made such a bad move. "

After hearing the chief officer's words, Princess Anle was at a loss for words for a while, and Qing Zhu couldn't help asking: "You guys have to pack pine needles and send them to the front, I can understand, but can you only choose bamboo baskets? Isn't it the same for sacks?"

The chief officer of the supply battalion smiled wryly again, and said: "Over there in Yizhou City, all the cotton, linen, silk and other cloth from the public treasury have been sent to the Hongzhuang Camp. If you want to adjust it in a different place, there is too little time, and it is okay to spend money to buy sacks, but those of us who stay here are just picking pine needles, and there is really no money other than food and grass for chewing..."

"Uh..." Qingzhu was a little speechless, turned to look at Princess Anle and asked: "Princess, this time, have you really even collected all the linen?"

"I don't know too much." Princess Anle shook her head, and said, "I just ordered them to send all the strong cloth. I really don't know exactly what they sent. I haven't seen anything either. .”

"Why don't you ask someone to take a look? If it's true, princess, you can walk around them for a while." Qingzhu approached Princess Anle and said in a low voice.

"Okay." Although Princess Anle was a little unhappy, she didn't mean to refute Qingzhu after all. She just waited for a glance at the row of kneeling people, then recruited a personal guard, told her to go back and check, and then turned around and left. Go back and sit down.

Seeing that Princess Anle didn't ask people to burn those bamboo baskets again, the people in the supply camp also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Princess Anle didn't speak, but no one dared to stand up on their own.

The personal guard rode a horse back and forth quite quickly, but after more than a quarter of an hour, he came back and reported, saying that even the linen was indeed delivered.

Now Princess Anle believed that these people really had a last resort, but she was still unhappy in her heart, and said to the chief officer of the supply camp: "Since you have difficulties, why didn't you report to the princess earlier? Why do you want to do this secretly?"

What use can you do?Don't you want to focus on your playfulness, if you use those sackcloths, why would you give them to us...

The chief official had a slander in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he just said with fear and sincerity: "It's the lower official who got confused in a hurry, and I ask the princess to forgive me."

"Now that the matter has been clarified, this princess is not the kind of unreasonable person. Since you went to the Red Makeup Camp to get the sackcloth, you just let someone make it into a sack." Princess Anle thought for a while and said.

"Princess Princess, in fact, those bamboo baskets are almost enough, there is no need to make sacks..." The chief officer looked at Princess Anle cautiously and said.

Princess Anle's complexion changed, and just as she was about to speak, Qingzhu said first: "Princess, since this is the case, anyway, the bamboo baskets are ready, so just give them to them, and it would be a pity to burn them."

According to Princess Anle's original intention, the bamboo basket should be burned, so she didn't nod immediately after hearing Qingzhu's words.

Naturally, Qingzhu knew what Princess Anle was thinking, so she hurriedly leaned into her ear and said, "Save if you can. If there is not enough winter clothes at that time, those linen cloths can come in handy."

"Huh, it's cheaper for them." Princess Anle snorted, looked at the chief officer of the supply camp and said, "Well, since you are also loyal to the errands assigned by your father, and Doctor Xia is pleading for you, then these bamboo baskets This princess will not burn it, but next time if you dare to say hello and don’t call a single one, and recruit people from this princess casually, this princess will not forgive you so easily.”

"Yes, thank you, Princess Anle, and Doctor Xia." The head of the supply battalion took the lead, thanking Princess Anle and Qingzhu repeatedly.

"Forget it, get up, those over there, let's send them down for healing too." Princess Anle said, regardless of the expressions of the people in the supply camp, stood up and said to Qingzhu: "Let's go, let's explain to those bamboo shoots. A few words from the craftsman."

"Yes." Qingzhu nodded in agreement, and walked into the camp with Princess Anle.

As for the personal guards, Princess Anle didn't bring so many, and left everyone behind, only Sun Xiang and Feng Zhen followed.

The bamboo craftsmen had long known that Anle County Lord was coming, and all of them knelt outside in fear and fear. Looking at the group of ragged people, Anle County Lord extinguished his anger and asked everyone to work harder and work harder. Get things done, and when they are done, they will give everyone money and let them go home.

After hearing Princess Anle's words, those bamboo craftsmen were naturally grateful, but their faces were more or less hesitant to speak.

Seeing Qing Zhu, he asked, "But what's the problem?"

"Yes, this female general, in fact, we didn't delay the matter of the princess. It's just that no matter how hard we try, no matter how strong we weave those bamboo baskets, we can't make the bamboo baskets weighing no more than ten catties A stone of three hundred catties can be hung overnight without deforming at all." The old stripper in the lead looked at the green bamboo and said with a sad face.

Qingzhu felt a little embarrassed when he heard the old bamboo craftsman's words. This request "I really can only ask you to think of a way, no matter who it is, as long as you can think of a way to weave this bamboo basket, then the princess and I, They will not be stingy with rewards."

"That's right." Princess Anle nodded aside, expressing that she agrees with Qingzhu's words.

"Female general Mingjian, my old man has been weaving bamboo baskets all his life. Your request is really helpless. Otherwise, can you put less stones and weave more baskets?" The old stripper looked at the green bamboo. , said tentatively.

"Old man, it's not a question of how much, it's basically the minimum requirement." Qing Zhu shook her head with a wry smile.

The frame weighs ten catties, plus three hundred catties of stones, converted into a modern weight, that is about five hundred catties, which is exactly the weight that the hot air balloon they prepared can carry.

There must be at least one person on top of the hot air balloon, and with the specially made copper furnace, basically there is not much kerosene that can be carried. If there is less, then more hot air balloons will be made. Not to mention the time, it is also a waste thing.

The face of the old bamboo craftsman became more and more distressed, while shaking his head, he said: "It's really too difficult, if it can be done, then we have already done it..."

The posture of the old stripper made Princess Anle want to get angry. Before he could speak, a weak voice reached everyone's ears.

"Isn't it okay to replace the bamboo basket with something else?"
