The opening of the Three Kingdoms is Gatling

Chapter 276 A Woman Without Talent Is Virtue

"Husband, are you talking nonsense?"

Huang Yueying stammered and said.

"Yeah, how could sister Yueying go to a place like the Ordnance Department?"

Da Qiao also had a look of surprise on his face.

Although the atmosphere of the Han Dynasty was not as strict as that of the later Ming Dynasty, women could show their faces at will.

But it has never appeared that a woman can serve as a court official.

That's why they were so surprised after hearing Hua Xiong's words.

"Why can't she go?"

Hua Xiong asked back.

"Uh, because Sister Yueying is a woman."

Big Joe explained.

"Then why can't women be court officials?"

Now Da Qiao couldn't answer, so he could only look at Huang Yueying.

"But since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be a court official."

Hua Xiong suddenly laughed,

"Since there is no precedent before, it will be a precedent starting from you."

Huang Yueying was speechless.

She felt that what Hua Xiong did was absolutely astonishing.

"Yueying, don't think about other things.

Just tell me if you would like to enter the Ordnance Division and use your talents. "

Hua Xiong looked at Huang Yueying with piercing eyes and said.

Huang Yueying hesitated for a moment, and finally her love for mechanism art overwhelmed her worries.

She nodded heavily.

"I am willing."

"That's good, leave everything to me."

Hua Xiong laughed.

At this moment, Zhou Cang hurried in from the outside.

"My lord, Ding Shuai, the director of the Ordnance Department, and several military advisers and generals are already waiting in the front hall."

"understood."

Hua Xiong nodded to him, turned around and said,

"Yueying, you just wait here for my good news."

He stood up and walked towards the front hall with Zhou Cang.

lobby.

Ding Shuai, Guo Jia, Xu Huang and other generals are waiting patiently.

Seeing Hua Xiong coming, they all stood up and saluted him.

"Meet the lord!"

"Let's be flattered."

Hua Xiong waved his hand and sat down on the chief seat.

The others also took their seats.

"My lord, you called me here today, do you have any orders?"

Ding Shuai was puzzled.

"I called you here today because I want to introduce you to an expert who is proficient in mechanics."

Hua Xiong laughed.

Ding Shuai's eyes lit up, and he said quickly,

"That can't be better, my lord. What I lack most here is the master of mechanism."

"Then let's talk about it first, you are not allowed to refuse."

Hua Xiong pretended to be mysterious and authentic.

"How could I refuse? It's too late for me to be happy."

Ding Shuai smiled nonchalantly.

"Okay. The person I'm going to introduce to the Ordnance Department is my wife Huang Yueying."

As soon as this remark came out, the front hall suddenly became quiet, as if a needle could be heard.

Everyone looked at Hua Xiong with surprise on their faces, and their eyes were a little puzzled.

"My lord, are you kidding me?"

Ding Shuai said cautiously.

"You look like I'm joking with you."

Hua Xiong rolled his eyes at him.

"But the mistress has a noble status, it's against the rules to ask her to go to the Ordnance Department."

Ding Shuai stammered.

Although he spoke tactfully, the meaning in his words was very clear. There was no way for Huang Yueying to join the Ordnance Division.

First of all, Huang Yueying is a woman, and the Ordnance Department is a department of the imperial court.

From ancient times to the present, no woman can join the imperial court.

Secondly, Huang Yueying is Hua Xiong's woman with an extremely noble status.

If she joins the Military Intelligence Department, Ding Shuai doesn't even know what to do.

"Etiquette, you don't have to worry about it."

Hua Xiong waved his hand.

Ding Shuai looked embarrassed, so he had to look at Guo Jia and the others beside him for help.

Guo Jia, Li Ru, and Jia Xu exchanged glances.

Then Guo Jia coughed lightly, stood up,

"My lord, I think this is inappropriate."

"What's wrong?"

"Since ancient times, a woman's lack of talent is virtue. No woman has ever been able to show her face and even become a court official.

This will inevitably lead to criticism.”

Guo Jia said softly.

"That's right, such a shocking move will definitely make those admonishers seize the opportunity and attack the lord wantonly."

Li Ru also kindly persuaded him.

Hua Xiong smiled, pointed at Ding Shuai beside him and said,

"Ding Shuai was a lowly member of the army before. Didn't I just single-handedly promote him to be the chief of the first division?"

"Although he came from a lowly background, he is a man after all"

Jia Xu sighed.

"Don't say any more."

Hua Xiong shook his head and said,

"I've made up my mind. Let my wife report to the Ordnance Department tomorrow.

At that time, you can just treat her as an ordinary subordinate and order her as you like. "

Ding Shuai had no choice but to nod in response.

"Okay, you all go back first."

Hua Xiong immediately stood up and walked away.

Looking at his back, Guo Jia and the others looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.

"Tell me, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, my lord?"

"I don't know. But what I can be sure of is that if my lord's move is known to the world, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among those old scholars in the court!"

"Forget it, we can only take one step at a time."

The next day, under Hua Xiong's arrangement, Huang Yueying came to the Ordnance Department and took office smoothly.

The position Hua Xiong arranged for her was Ding Shuai's deputy.

Huang Yueying is very satisfied with her new job.

Report to the Ordnance Department on time and on time every day, and even take the unfinished drafts back to the room for research.

A few days later, Hua Xiong got up on a whim and went to the Ordnance Department to see how Huang Yueying was doing.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Ordnance Division, he saw Huang Yueying discussing something with Ding Shuai and the others.

In front of them was a strange-looking chariot.

It looks like a wooden cart with a huge box on it.

In the direction facing the front of the car, dozens of arrows gleaming with cold light protruded from the box.

"What is this?"

Hua Xiong asked.

Seeing Hua Xiong's arrival, everyone present hurriedly saluted Hua Xiong.

"Meet the lord!"

Huang Yueying also bowed to Hua Xiong imitatively, and when she saw Hua Xiong looking towards her, she showed a mischievous smile.

"Reporting to my lord, this thing is called a shooting machine, and it can shoot dozens of arrows continuously.

Compared with the commonly used ballista, the transfer machine is more flexible and can adjust its direction. "

Ding Shuai replied.

Hua Xiong circled around the transponder, and couldn't help but nod his head.

To put it bluntly, this thing is a large Wenhou Liannu, but compared to the Wenhou Liannu, it is much more powerful.

Moreover, being able to shoot dozens of arrows in a row is something Wen Hou Liannu can't match.

"This thing is so powerful and cleverly conceived that it is truly breathtaking."

Hua Xiong praised, and noticed with his eyes that Huang Yueying beside him had a smug expression on his face.

He sneered in his heart and asked intentionally,

"Ding Shuai, could it be that you developed this?"

"No, it was invented by Deputy Director Huang. I just offered some suggestions for improvement."

Ding Shuai said quickly.

"Oh I got it."
