"How about it, nephew? Isn't Brother Hu's letter well written? I see you are fascinated by it. I told you a long time ago that Brother Hu and Brother Xia are both talented people, and their abilities are comparable to mine. A simple official document should be a piece of cake for them." Uncle Zhu Shouren said with a chuckle.
"Mr. Hu's document has a slight flaw in the format, but it's not a big problem. However, the amount of food and grass was calculated incorrectly." Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly, handed the document to Hu Wei, and said, "Please calculate it again, Mr. Hu, and make corrections."
"Ah?! I calculated it wrong? How could it be?" Hu Wei looked incredulous and doubted three times, unable to accept it.
"Wrong calculation? No way, could it be that my nephew made a mistake? Brother Hu just used an abacus and checked the calculation on straw paper, how could it be wrong? My nephew only calculated mentally, I wonder if my nephew was the one who made a mistake?"
Uncle Zhu Shouren touched the back of his head and questioned Zhu Pingan.
In his opinion, Hu Wei used both an abacus and straw paper to calculate, while Zhu Ping'an only calculated mentally for a few seconds. If someone had to make a mistake, it should be Zhu Ping'an.
"Uncle, you can do the calculation with Mr. Hu and then tell me the result." Zhu Ping'an said to his uncle Zhu Shouren.
"Since the adults have given the order, Brother Xia and Brother Zhu will just do the calculation." Xia Qiang said on the side.
At this moment, Xia Qiang was in a good mood.
Zhu Shouren stayed in bed in the morning and did not join the morning run. He said he was doing morning reading. However, the guards in the tent must have known when he came to the tent to do the reading, and Lord Zhu must have known it too.
How can someone who sleeps in the morning win the trust and favor of Lord Zhu
Now, Brother Hu's document requesting grain has miscalculated the grain again, and it must have left a negative impression of negligence and worry on the adults. Hahaha, isn't it time for me, Xia Qiang, to step forward
Being one step ahead means always being ahead. This is a universal truth.
I'm the one who has taken the lead this time, and I'm going to lead the whole crowd, hahaha, I didn't expect that this much troublesome visit would actually help me, Xia Qiang, hahaha, thank you Brother Zhu, thank you Brother Hu.
The more Xia Gaoxin thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed. She became happier and happier, and she could hardly hold back the smile on her lips.
"Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia, let me see the document you drafted." Zhu Ping'an called out twice before waking Xia Qiangcong from his sweet dream.
"Oh, this is the official document I drafted, please take a look at it, sir."
Xia Qiang then woke up from his sweet dream and quickly handed the official document he had written to Zhu Ping'an with both hands.
Zhu Ping'an took the document from Xia Qiang, opened it, and read it carefully. However, after reading only the beginning, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help frowning.
Zhu Ping'an's frown never relaxed until he finished reading the official document drafted by Xia Qiang.
After reading it, Zhu Ping'an placed the document drafted by Xia Qiang on the table and placed the paper with the place name on it next to it.
"Mr. Xia, take a closer look. Do you find anything wrong?"
Zhu Ping'an pointed at the place name with his finger, then pointed at the official document drafted by Xia Qiang, and asked Xia Qiang.
"There are mistakes in my official documents?" Xia Qiang opened his mouth in disbelief.
Zhu Pingan nodded.
"But, Master Zhu, the reference document you gave me was also sent to the local area to request cooperation in the march. My document only changed the place name. The rest was copied from the reference document. There shouldn't be any mistakes. If there are any mistakes, it may be that the reference document you gave me is wrong."
Xia Qiang argued reasonably.
"Brother Xia's official document is also wrong? It just changed the place name, and the rest is basically copied, how can it be wrong?" Uncle Zhu Shouren looked at Zhu Ping'an suspiciously and whispered, "My dear nephew, you won't blame me for everything, right?"
Zhu Pingan pulled the corner of his mouth speechlessly, stretched out his hand and pointed at the paper with the place name again, "Uncle, Mr. Xia, what is the place name I left?"
"Qiuxia County." Uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang answered without hesitation, and then uncle Zhu Shouren smiled and said, "My dear nephew, it's not like we can't read. Besides, the three characters Qiuxia County are undoubtedly rare characters."
Zhu Pingan shook his head speechlessly, "Uncle, Mr. Xia, please take a closer look. Where is this place?"
"Qiuxia County, no problem."
Uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang took another look at the paper with the name on it and answered in unison again.
"Uncle, Mr. Xia, please look carefully." Zhu Pingan rolled his eyes helplessly, pointed at one of the characters, and asked the two of them word by word, "Is this 'gorge' or 'rai'?!"
"'Gap' or 'Rai'? Ah!
! 'Lai'! This word is 'Lai', it's Qiulai County, not Qiuxia County... "
After Zhu Ping'an's blunt reminder, Xia Qiang finally reacted. His face turned red instantly and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"'Lai'? 'Qiu Lai County'?"
The uncle was stunned for a moment, picked up the paper with the place name, looked at it for several times, and then smiled awkwardly, "Uh, it really is Qiulai County, ahem, this Lai and Xia are too similar, the place name written by my nephew is too easy to make mistakes. However, it's not a big deal to make a mistake in one word. Although Brother Xia mistakenly wrote Qiuxia County, maybe those who read the official document know that it is actually Qiulai County."
Uncle Zhu Shouren's specious words made Xia Qiang nod his head as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
My mother tongue is speechless, really speechless.
Zhu Pingan was amused by his uncle Zhu Shouren's words. He wrote it as Qiuxia County by mistake, but others also knew it was Qiulai County? !
"Uncle, Mr. Xia, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is not only Qiulai County, but also Qiuxia County. The two are located in the south and north, more than 180 miles apart. Qiulai County is named after the Lailing Mountains; Qiuxia County is named after the Qiushan Grand Canyon. In military affairs, there is no room for carelessness. This is a training exercise, but what if it is a war?! Originally, the troops were to be sent to Qiulai County to wipe out the Japanese pirates, but because of an official letter, the soldiers were sent to Qiuxia County, more than 180 miles away. Have you ever thought about the consequences?!"
Zhu Ping'an looked at his uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang with a serious face and asked slowly.
Uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang looked confused.
"If there is a Japanese invasion in Qiulai County, the people of Qiulai County will be in danger and look forward to our Zhejiang Army's support and rescue. However, our Zhejiang Army went to Qiuxia County, which is 180 miles away, because of an official letter. When we arrived in Qiuxia County, we found that we were in the wrong place. It was too late. The two places are 180 miles apart. When we rushed back to Qiulai County, we could only see the broken walls and corpses in Qiulai County..."
"As for my Zhejiang Army, uncle, Mr. Xia, do you know what the consequences will be if my Zhejiang Army goes to the wrong place? Uncle and Mr. Xia know the story of Feng Tang getting old easily but Li Guang being difficult to be promoted. During the Han Dynasty's Battle of Mobei, an army led by General Li Guang got lost in the desert and failed to reach the main battlefield in time to participate in the battle. Afterwards, Li Guang was punished by Emperor Wu of Han and committed suicide to apologize. Do you, uncle and Mr. Xia, also want me to be punished by the emperor and commit suicide to apologize?"
Zhu Ping'an looked at his uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang with burning eyes and explained the seriousness of the problem to them one by one.
Uncle Zhu Shouren smiled awkwardly.
Xia Qiang lowered his head.
