Chapter 460: Recognize the Horse, Not the Person

Six days later, Shen Zhiqiu came to Shuntian Prefecture again, riding a fiery little red horse and carrying a large package on his back.

Just on the road he took to the Ministry of Revenue, there was the Thousand Steps Bridge in the distance.

But now he couldn't get in. His previous pass token had been taken back and replaced with a token for entering and exiting the warehouse office.

As for his desire to meet Lord Mao.

But the patrolling soldiers were not pushovers. Seeing that he was carrying a lot of things and wandering around stealthily, they pointed their weapons at him and said, "What are you doing? Don't move."

Shen Zhiqiu quickly pointed at his face and said, "It's me, it's me. I've been here before and wanted to see Lord Mao. Can you please let him know?"

The patrolman looked at Shen Zhiqiu and sneered, "Do you think you can see Lord Mao whenever you want? Do you have an entry and exit token?"

“The token was there before, but it was returned later.”

"You've gone back, what else do you have to say? We recognize badges here, not people. No matter if you've been in before or not, you can't go in now without a badge. Hurry up and leave, or I'll arrest you."

As a result, another patrolman hurried over and winked at his companion, indicating that he should look at the flames.

It was only then that his companion noticed the horse that Shen Zhiqiu was leading: "Why does this horse look familiar?"

But, for such a good horse, why are the saddle and stirrups on it so shabby?

Lieyan raised his head and snorted, "Tsk, good horse, it doesn't matter what you wear, it depends on whether you are manly enough and can take on responsibilities."

Shen Zhiqiu quickly comforted Lieyan: "Be quiet, this place is not our home, don't act recklessly, or you might get captured."

But before he could calm Lieyan down, the trainee who had said he only recognized the cards but not the people said:

"Wait here. I'll ask someone to go in and ask if Lord Mao has time to see you."

"Thank you for your help, sir."

Shen Zhiqiu was just being polite and stroking Lieyan's fur, but he didn't expect that although this patrolman didn't recognize people, he recognized horses.

This time it’s really thanks to Lieyan, otherwise I don’t know what to do.

In fact, it didn't take long before the person who went to report came back. The training soldier pointed at Lieyan and said, "It can't go in. Since you've been here, you know where the stable is, right?"

"I know, I know!"

When placing Lieyan in the stable, Shen Zhiqiu did not forget to tell it not to act tough here, because Fu Huaian could handle it before, but he couldn't.

Then he carried the big package, straightened his clothes, and strode onto the Thousand-Step Bridge.

In the office of Mr. Mao from the Ministry of Revenue, it seemed that Mr. Mao was even busier today. There were so many people coming in and out that there was no place for Shen Zhiqiu to stand.

The same thing happened to those clerks. They had no time to greet him at all. They let him in during their busy schedule, which really showed that they valued him.

He also understood the situation and waited in the yard until noon.

After finishing his work, Master Mao rubbed his numb arms and drank some water to moisten his throat when he suddenly remembered, "Didn't someone just say that Shen Zhiqiu wanted to see him?"

One of the clerks hurried out of the room and greeted Shen Zhiqiu enthusiastically: "Come on, Old Shen, the master is looking for you."

Shen Zhiqiu said directly: "Let the adults come out. The yard is big here. I will show you something."

Although they were surprised by his actions, Mao Junyi and several clerks still walked out of the room and came to the yard.

Shen Zhiqiu took off a green backpack from his body and said to Lord Mao, "Sir, this time I will show you something we have newly researched. It is essential for marching and fighting."

Mao Junyi's mind moved: "How did this person know that there would be a war?"

But Shen Zhiqiu didn't give him much time to think and started to unpack his luggage.

He said: "Sir, this backpack is actually a sleeping bag. It has a plastic sheet on the outside and a quilt on the inside. When you go to sleep, you can open it and get in to sleep directly. It is warm and convenient.

It can also be used to carry things when marching.

Now I am the tent in it.”

As he said this, he began to unroll the rolled-up water bag. The sleeping bag was too long. The tent made by Shen Youyou only needed a little more than half a meter. The rest of the space was

Just wrap it up in circles. There are also straps sewn on the sleeping bag. When marching, you can just roll it up and carry it on your back.

When Shen Zhiqiu took out things from his backpack one by one, several adults couldn't help but blurt out: "It's quite a lot of stuff."

"Definitely. There are still a lot of empty sleeping bags rolled up. We are so tall that if we fill them up, it will affect our mobility. But if we roll them up to about half a meter, it won't affect us at all."

Mao Junyi nodded: "It's okay to put a little more in it. What do you put in it?"

"This is a tent, sir. It's made of plastic sheeting. Even if there's no fire inside in the winter, it can keep the temperature much warmer than outside. But I need you to find a few people to help me put it up."

Although the adults had seen many tents and did not think that the army was short of tents, since Shen Zhiqiu and his team had already made many novel things, they still took the attitude of taking a look and did as they were told.

However, during the process of setting up the tent, they kept exclaiming. It wasn't that they were making a fuss, but that the tent was too simple.

In the past, when marching, tents were transported by special vehicles. They were very heavy and took up a lot of space.

Even the things needed to build a large tent would require several animal carts to transport.

But the plastic sheet that Shen Zhiqiu brought was light, and the plastic tubes used to build the tent were also lighter than steel and wooden sticks.

It is also designed to be divided into sections. When in use, you can just connect them with special connectors. When not in use, you can just dismantle it, wrap it in a tent, and put it in the sleeping bag and take it away.

"Sir, there is more than that. See the fabric of this tent? There are small bumps on it. These small bumps can collect dew more conveniently at night. The dew will also flow along the curve of the tent into the bag below.

I heard that Duke Fu is stationed in the north, where there is a shortage of water and food. If this kind of tent is set up at night, a lot of dew can be collected at night."

Mao Junyi was really upset now. Others didn't know the real purpose of Fu Huaian's delivery of military rations, but as the Minister of Revenue, how could he not know? This tent was simply a powerful weapon for the Northern Expedition!

But he looked at Shen Zhiqiu suspiciously: "What do you know?"

Shen Zhiqiu also knew that he couldn't hide it.

The fact that he took this out showed that he already had some guesses, but he didn't intend to hide it at this time. Time was urgent:

"Sir, I have guessed something. General Fu and I had a good relationship before. He told me that I would be going to the border for two or three years.

In addition, I heard a few days ago that he had already left to transport grain and grass, so I guessed that if he was only transporting grain and grass, he wouldn't have to be gone for two or three years, and it was very likely that the Northern Yuan Dynasty was restless again. "

This time, not only Mao Junyi was amazed at Shen Zhiqiu's strong understanding of the current situation, but also several clerks looked at Shen Zhiqiu in amazement:

"You can guess these from just these two things?"

In fact, Shen Zhiqiu could think of more, but he was not going to say more.

Instead, they took out bags of vacuum-packed compressed biscuits, luncheon meat, meat stew, soy milk powder, cornmeal fire cakes, and self-heating hot pots in plastic boxes.

It was placed on the ground in the tent, and now they were experiencing the temperature in the tent.

"And these are all new military rations we made."
