Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Feng Ran stroked his beard and said, "A flintlock gun, is it a gun?"

Tang Jian said angrily, "What do you think?"

Feng Ran stared back without hesitation, this bastard is getting smaller and smaller.

In Honglu Temple, he was just Shaoqing.

His immediate boss is himself!How to speak!

Tang Jian ignored him, but looked at Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun pondered for two seconds and said: "There is another thing, the flintlock gun, which was developed by me. Your Majesty should have known about this thing and its power, so he thought about letting me be the captain of Zhechong. .”

"That's a good thing!"

Feng Ran enviously said: "Young Minister of Honglu Temple is a civil servant. Now you have transformed yourself and also served as the captain of Zhechong. Now you have military power in your body. No matter how many people envy you, you will not be envious."

Zhang Dun looked at him and said: "Feng Siqing, are you envious? If you are envious, let's enter the palace now, and I will ask His Majesty to give you the captain Zhechong of Pingkang Zhechong Mansion."

Feng Ran laughed dryly and said, "That won't work. His Majesty asked you to be Captain Zhechong, obviously because he has high hopes for you. I'm not that material."

Hearing this, Zhang Dun became even more worried.

The words in the imperial decree are very clear, let him serve as the captain of Zhechong, or second.

The real purpose is for him to develop flintlock guns and explosive kits.

Zhang Dun wondered, should he take over this kind of thing?

Shouldn't it be done by the Ministry of Industry!

Why did the craftsman's job fall to me?

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Tang Jian holding back a smile, and said angrily, "Brother Tang, what are you laughing at?"

Tang Jian looked serious, "Did I laugh?"

"Laughed." Zhang Dun said with a straight face: "You almost couldn't hold back your laughter, don't pretend I didn't see it."

"Aren't I happy?" Tang Jian said cheerfully, "After all, you are Captain Zhechong now!"

"It's better to be alone than to be happy."

Zhang Dun hehe said: "Brother Tang, come with me! From now on, you will be Captain Guo Yi of Pingkang Zhechong Mansion!"

Tang Jian: "???"

Captain Guo Yi, in Zhechong Mansion, is second only to Captain Zhechong.

But Tang Jian couldn't be happy no matter what, and said sadly: "I can't do it, I'm not the material to lead the army."

"You can be my deputy, and I don't want you to go to the battlefield to fight."

Zhang Dun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This is a good opportunity, don't miss it."

can i miss it

Tang Jian laughed bitterly, but he also knew that Zhang Dun was determined to pull him into the gang, so he could only sigh.

Feng Ran looked at the two with great interest, and suddenly saw Zhang Dun looking at him, his face changed, and he hurriedly said: "There is still something to do at the Honglu Hotel, I'm leaving first!"

After speaking, he ran away quickly.

Zhang Dun shook his head, just now he really wanted to pull Feng Ran in, but this girl who belongs to the rabbit can run faster than anyone else!

Zhang Dun took a deep breath, put the two imperial decrees on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Since His Majesty has established the Pingkang Zhechong Mansion, we must not lose the chain. The most important thing right now is to expand our manpower."

Tang Jian nodded in agreement, and asked, "How many people do you think are enough?"

Zhang Dun pondered: "To make explosives and flintlock guns, manpower is not much needed, but now time is running out, so the more manpower the better."

"I plan to recruit 2000 people first, and then divide them into four batches of 500 people each, and manufacture them in shifts. It should be possible to let everyone in Pingkang Zhechong Mansion have a flintlock in the shortest possible time."

Li Er's mind can be guessed from the imperial decree.

The reason why he wanted to set up the Pingkang Zhechong Mansion was to equip all the staff of the Pingkang Zhechong Mansion with flintlock guns and explosive packs, so as to form a fighting force in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, the first step to create a flintlock gun in a short period of time has become the most critical step!

Tang Jian smiled and said, "These people are easy to deal with, I'll take care of it for you."

Zhang Dun asked curiously, "What can you do?"

"Recruit directly from Pingkangfang." Tang Jian blinked and said: "You forgot, you are Pingkangbo, the easiest way to recruit people is from Pingkangfang, that is your fiefdom, who dare not listen to you if?"

"The most important thing is that they have money!"

rich?Zhang Dun's heart moved, he nodded slightly and said: "What you said makes sense, then I will leave this matter to you!"

Tang Jian said briskly, "No problem!"

Zhang Dun continued: "Then, it is the manpower for training soldiers. It is definitely not enough to train soldiers in Honglu Temple."

After all, Zhishi Shanguang is in the Honglu Guesthouse.

If he was training here, wouldn't he know everything?

Moreover, Honglu Temple looks big, but it can't accommodate 2000 people!

Tang Jian nodded, then hesitated and said, "But if you are not in Honglu Temple, what should you do if something goes wrong?"

Zhang Dun lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes!"

"Brother Tang, let's go to Jingzhao Mansion!"

Chapter 448 Recruiting Soldiers in Pingkangfang

Chang'an City, Jingzhao government office.

Holding the wine glass in one hand and the rabbit brush in the other, Chu Suiliang leaned over to write on the case.

After a long time, when he finished writing, he drank the wine in the glass, stroked his beard and looked at the words on the paper with satisfaction.

"Today's words are better than those of the past."

Chu Suiliang looked at Bantou Yang who was standing aside with a smile, and said, "Boss Yang, what do you think of the old man's writing?"

Yang Bantou was a little embarrassed and said: "How can a humble job know calligraphy."

Chu Suiliang shook his head, or how can you say that you are just a team leader, not Shaoyin.

Culture determines the future!

Chu Suiliang sighed, then poured a glass of wine on his own, holding the glass and sipping it lightly.

At this moment, a yamen servant walked in quickly and said loudly: "Master Chu, Zhang Shaoqing and Tang Shaoqing from Honglu Temple are here!"

"puff!"

Chu Suiliang spit out all the wine that he had just drank into his mouth.

"Cough cough!"

Chu Suiliang coughed twice, and said in surprise, "Why are they here again?"

The yamen servant looked at him in embarrassment, how do I know this kind of thing?

"Just say that the old man is not here!"

Chu Suiliang waved his hand and said decisively.

It must be no good for Zhang Dun to come to Jingzhao Mansion. He still remembers the headache that Zhang Dun gave him on the first day he took office.

"Brother Chu, you are not authentic."

A faint tone resounded outside the lobby of the government office.

"You are clearly in the government office, but you say you are not there, so you don't want to see me?"

Chu Suiliang stared blankly at Zhang Dun and Tang Jian who came in, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he looked at the yamen servant, did you report when everyone came in?How to do things!

He waved his hand to let the yamen servant back down, and immediately put a smile on his face, and said: "How is it possible, you are the old man's old friend, can the old man avoid seeing you?"

"Tell me, what are you doing here? Don't say you miss the old man, so come and see!"

Zhang Dun said seriously: "I'm here to ask you for help."

Chu Suiliang looked at him vigilantly, and said: "My old man told you that there are not many yamen servants in Jingzhao Mansion, and they are still in charge of Chang'an City, so there is no way to spare any manpower for you."

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you can expand your manpower."

"..."

Are you really here to ask for someone?Chu Suiliang clicked his tongue, shook his head and said, "Expand if you say expand. You are the one who opened Jingzhao Mansion? Your Majesty, don't you want to nod?"

"Yes."

Zhang Dun nodded.

Seeing that Zhang Dun was very sensible this time, Chu Suiliang's face suddenly eased.

At this moment, Zhang Dun reached into his arms, took out a copy of the imperial decree, and said, "This is His Majesty's imperial decree."

"..."

Chu Suiliang's face froze immediately, he looked at the imperial decree in his hand, then at him, the corner of his mouth twitched and said, "Where did you get it?"

Zhang Dun smiled, "It must have been given by His Majesty, why can't I make it out privately?"

Chu Suiliang snorted softly, "That's not sure."

It is not impossible for Zhang Dun's calligraphy to produce a fake imperial decree.

What others can't do.

He can do it for sure!

And he dared to do it!If you do it, you may not be severely punished, after all... the father-in-law is the emperor!

Although he said so, Chu Suiliang still took the imperial decree in his hand, opened it and looked at it, frowned and said, "That's not right."

"In this imperial decree, His Majesty did not agree to let Jingzhao Mansion expand the yamen servants. It is clearly written to let you lead the army."

As he spoke, Chu Suiliang's expression became serious, and he secretly clicked his tongue.

His Majesty set up the Pingkang Zhechong Mansion?

Let Zhang Dun be the captain of Zhechong?What is this for?

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "I will lead the army, where will the soldiers come from? They are not allowed to be recruited? My enlistment words are too eye-catching, so I have to use the name of your Jingzhao Mansion to expand the yamen servants."

Chu Suiliang closed the imperial decree, looked at him speechlessly and said, "Is the co-author a tool man?"

Zhang Dun said seriously: "How about I give you a job?"

Chu Suiliang said in a bad mood: "Is it okay if I don't want it?"

There are hundreds of Zhechong mansions in the Tang Dynasty, and I have never heard of any Zhechong mansion that wants an old man.

Most importantly, this is obviously not a good job!

Wouldn't it be nice to be the Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion?

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "Brother Chu, how can you say that he is also Qu He's wife, or my year-end friend, you don't want to do this?"

"..." Chu Suiliang sighed, "Okay, okay, isn't it just to expand the government servants, so let's do it."

"With your words, I am relieved."

Zhang Dun smiled, then gave Tang Jian a look, and left Jingzhao Mansion with him.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Chu Suiliang sighed quietly, why did he feel that he was on a pirate ship?

Come out of Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhang Dun and Tang Jian came to the Zuixian building in Pingkangfang together.

At this moment, in the Drunken Immortal Building.

Hu Guangzheng stood leisurely behind the counter, dialing the abacus casually in his hand.

Zhang Dun walked in and asked curiously, "Brother Hu, why didn't you go to Honglu Temple?"

Seeing that it was him who came, Hu Guang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not needed there, Liu Liang and the others can just keep an eye on it. I'll continue to open my Zuixian Tower when I come back."

Zhang Dun looked around and said, "Where's Qu He?"
