"Why did Li Ling really say that?" Dong Xiangping, the Transportation Si Zhengqing, spoke with a gloomy expression. When he glanced at him, Liang Siping felt cold. He hurriedly lowered his head and responded softly, not daring to look at him.

At this time, there were five or six senior officials from the Transport Department sitting in the hall. Since Yuan Yunjie, the chief official, the newly appointed Shaoqing Li Ling has not arrived. Of course, today's small meeting was also caused by him, so he would not be included. When he learned that Li Ling was acting so unscrupulously, everyone in the yamen was naturally disgusted, and several senior officials had to take an attitude and idea.

Yuan Yunjie's eyes slid over the two Zhengqings and asked, "How do you think you should deal with this?"

Dong Xiangping immediately replied: "Sir, this wind must not be long. It must be punished to suppress his arrogance. Otherwise, Li Ling will only become more and more unscrupulous."

"What Mr. Dong said is that the officials also thought that they should be punished by the big commandments. Li Ling was not from my Transportation Department, so he dared to do this as soon as he arrived here. It was really unruly. If he did not punish him, he would be afraid that the people would be unable to convince him. The whole Transportation Department would be suppressed by him alone."

"The officials also think so..."

The other two Shaoqings, who were on the same position as Li Ling, immediately expressed their position. Seeing that Liang Siping was actually suppressed by Li Ling, it was false to say that they were not panicked, and they did not have the confidence to dare to confront this colleague who was determined, so they could only seek the protection of their superiors.

Yuan Yunjie ignored it and looked at Feng Lan, another official who had the calmest expression, said: "What do you think?"

"The officials thought it was better to put the overall situation first, and it would be okay to make a little compromise." Feng Lan carefully gave his own opinions, and then he saw that the others frowned, especially Dong Xiangping: "Mr. Feng is so tolerant. Will our Transport Department have any rules in the future? I'm afraid that he will dare to ride on your and my head by then."

"Don't be impatient, be calm and listen to me slowly." Feng Lan still looked slow, "I know everyone was unhappy. Since Li Ling was transferred to our Transportation Office and took the errand that should belong to us. We just think he is not going well. You are like this, why am I not?

"But this is by no means a reason for us to be angry with it, and it cannot affect the war in the northern border, the victory, defeat, life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops, and even the stability of the entire national destiny of our Great Yue, we must not be negligent in this battle.

"It's not only what I think, but also what the government and the government think. If there is a mistake in the supply and transportation of military rations because we are restricted from the side and fight with them, you think that Li Ling will be punished, but what about us? Do you really think he will take all the blame and not involve us?

"It is obvious that he is not such a person. Li Ling is a man of wisdom, aptitude and ambition, but he is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses. He is not afraid of fighting with others or fighting with others. If we really do things too much, we are afraid that he will fight back immediately. With the responsibilities he is carrying now, he will be able to move his whole body. As long as he tells His Majesty the Transshipment Department, let alone you and me, even Lord Yuan is afraid that he will not be able to bear it.

"And, in this way, he will give him an excuse to escape from sin. By then, his credit will be his own credit and has nothing to do with us; if he cannot do it, he will have reason to say that he will blame us for a large part of his sins. Don't think that I am exaggerating. Judging from what this person has done over the years, he is very likely to do such a thing."

After saying this, the faces of the few people changed a little. From the resentment just now, I wish I could settle accounts with Li Ling immediately, to the deep thoughts and retreats now. They have been people who have been ups and downs in the court for many years, and I can still figure out the importance of this in my heart.

In fact, they didn't really want to confront Li Ling head-on, and at most they could use some of their subordinates to use some tricks. Today, they just wanted to use this matter to put pressure on Li Ling, but now it seems that this method is not useful.

Yuan Yunjie nodded to Feng Lan with satisfaction: "Feng Zhengqing is the old saying, both of whom serves as the emperor and the court, and is a subordinate of the same yamen. Why do you have to make enemies like this? Moreover, don't think that Li Ling has turned his face this time, but he still saves face for Liang Shaoqing."

Seeing that the few people were puzzled, he smiled again: "Do you know that after this decision, does Your Majesty have another guarantee besides promoting Li Ling to the fourth-rank Shaoqing? That is a gold medal. When you get this gold medal, you can let the local officials act according to their orders without any conditions, and everything is based on military rations.

"Do you think this gold medal can only be used locally, not Luoyang, or in my Transportation Office? If he really makes a fuss, he will lit up the gold medal. Not to mention you, even if I see you, I can only obey the order.

"So, please accept all the previous ideas. As long as it is something Li Ling ordered, everyone will help you, so that we can share some credit. If we don't help, we can buy one. There is a harmonious atmosphere in the court, and multiple friends are much better than multiple strong enemies."

At this moment, there was silence in the hall. After looking at each other, several people finally looked at each other and didn't plan to fight against Li Ling anymore. Some things may not be able to figure out. Even if they figured it out and were encouraged, they might want to do something again, but now it is easy to accept it if they say it out on the spot.

"Okay, the matter has ended here, it's all over." Yuan Yunjie waved his hand, and then everyone stood up to salute and slowly retreated. He shook his head slightly with a laugh.

In fact, from the beginning, he didn't think he was really embarrassed with Li Ling, so he put on that look, one to make Li Ling know who is the master and who is the second, and the other to appease the hearts of the people in the yamen. Only after they hit the wall themselves can they make the wisest choice.

Since these senior officials have reached an agreement and Liao Tongzhi, the killed chicken, was stabbed there, the officials of the Transport Department finally came to normal for Li Ling and the others. Perhaps it was not very enthusiastic, but at least their needs could be met one by one, including account books, maps, files... As long as they need it, they can hand it over to them within half an hour.

With this cooperation, Li Ling and his colleagues made great progress in their desk work. After more than ten days, they quickly decided on three plans. Then they invited the senior officials from the Transportation Department to discuss together to see which route is the most suitable and safest.

The people who came in to discuss this are naturally because they are familiar with the methods of transporting money and grain, and with them being on the side, it is better to achieve twice the result with half the effort and be more secure. But in fact, everyone knows it well that this is Li Ling's repaid, and at least they can get some credit.

It was precisely because of this that everyone in the Transport Department, who came from Yuan Yunjie, also made full use of their talents and knowledge, constantly discussing the pros and cons of each route with them, and really doing their best to do their best.

After such busyness and discussion, time has come after the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. The front-line war has undergone new changes, and the transportation of food and grass is already in a state of being forced to fire. Today is the final time limit.

A huge map is hung on the wall, marked with the terrain and cities of most of the Central Plains and Northern Xinjiang. It is the most exquisite terrain map of the Great Crossing half of the wall in this era.

After many days of discussion, several people were already familiar with this picture. They could summarize the entire grain transportation route by a little finger at the same time. At this time, Feng Lan was standing in front of the picture, with his hands lit a small town and said, "This Desheng Town is not big, but its location is extremely critical. At least two lines must pass from now on. But here is limited by the terrain and cannot be stationed too many soldiers, so there is a problem. Do we need to give up those two lines because of this?"

"No, there are too few towns along the third line, and the supply station advocated by Lord Li is even more difficult to lay, so it is better to think that the two lines in the past are better. As for the problem of Desheng Town mentioned by Lord Feng, it is easy to deal with, such as not garrisoning military rations and only garrisoning troops to defend the rush." ​​Lu You immediately opposed, he was the one who firmly opposed the third line.

"I also think what Lord Lu said is right. You can't just cancel two lines just because of one shortage. If you want to do this, there are too many variables on the third line, and you should have lost them long ago." Dong Xiangping also spoke, but he supported Lu You.

After several days of discussion, the relationship between the people has become much closer. When discussing the matter, they can do things and not people. Yuan Yunjie likes such a scene quite well, and smiles even more. He glances at Li Ling who is not talking much, "Li Shaoqing, what do you think?"

"I thought we could see things on the map, and people were afraid that they could see more clearly on the ground. If it were just Gui Rong, I wouldn't worry, but with the Luo Tian Sect that had been hiding in the dark, the situation would be subtle." Li Ling pondered, "So whether or not hesitated is likely to really affect the overall success or failure."

His words made everyone feel even more nervous. Yuan Yunjie squinted his eyes and stared at the area again: "The key is that this Desheng Town is at least three days away from Shuozhou and Yunzhou. Once it is really besieged by the enemy, it will be too late to rescue."

"There is no danger to defend, and it is located at the rush, but it has to garrison troops and release food there..." Li Ling's fingers kept knocking on the table, and his thoughts kept rising and falling in his heart. After a while, his finger turned into a fist and slammed it. "At this point, I can only take risks. The second route is the most stable, so choose it. At least in this way, there will be dangers in the place where Shengzhen is in danger, and we can still be prepared, although it may be two or three days later than the first one."
