"Why is the door open? Aren't you afraid that someone will suddenly come in?"
Lao Pu's voice came from outside the house, and Equation, who was standing at the door, opened the door and said, "Lao Pu, why are you here?"
"It's okay, I just came to see you. Are you going out? Where are the Li brothers?" Lao Pu untied his cloak and glanced across the deserted courtyard.
"There are so many questions in a row, which one do you want me to answer first?" After choking Lao Pu, Fang Fang immediately replied, "Old man Xia arranged the matter, and the Li brothers were arranged to go to the bus to pick them up!"
"Why are you so angry? It seems like you are really lacking in strength!"
Lao Pu took out a few banknotes from his pocket, "Your sister asked me to give them to you for the Chinese New Year. We can't get together this year, so you can have a good time with Xiaohu by yourself. Besides, the Li brothers, no matter what happens, don't make all the arrangements. When you go out, leave at least one person with you!"
"The war is about to begin, and bull-headed and horse-faced faces will emerge. Warriors will not surrender to the enemy and betray their country, but they cannot stand up to those who are willing. Smart people know that taking shortcuts will make them dependent, but there are smart people in this world, and there are also stupid gamblers. People have arranged for you. , just to protect you!"
"If you are really short of people, you still have a few trustworthy people at home!"
Deep worry came over him, and Fang Fang felt warm in his heart, and said sincerely, "No, I won't do this kind of thing again!"
"The inner city is relatively peaceful. You just need to know what's going on. What does Old Man Xia want from you?"
There were a lot of things going on in the palace. Lao Pu was planning to come as soon as he left the Fengluan Palace, but he didn't expect something to slow him down. As a result, Fang Fang didn't even know when he sent the Li brothers out, and he didn't even know what Xia Abacus was doing. .
No problem, the equation explained the sleigh thing once.
After hearing this, Lao Pu was silent for a moment, "I think the idea is fine. You can take the money. But next time, don't ask Lao Xia for money. Don't think that guy is an imperial businessman. In fact, he is just a poor guy. I'll give it to you." He will not pay for these one thousand one hundred taels, and there is no name for the payment. He can just pay it himself, but what about his family and descendants? If you are really short of money, you can ask me or your sister! "
Everyone in the Wu Dynasty was poor, but the powerful clans had large stalls, many ways to make money, and a huge annual income. They could ask for money from peers, and there were more people waiting to feed.
Xia Dachuan, Xia Abacus, among the first-level ministers of the Wu Dynasty, had a lot of income, but their family background was really not much.
"I know, I will pay it back later!" Fang Fang smiled.
In the Wu Dynasty, the world was a society of poverty, and the landlords really had no food left.
"It's okay if you know. I won't stay any longer. After you finish your work, enjoy your New Year. I've left four people for you outside the house. If you have any direct instructions, wait until you finish your work and let them come back!"
The sled should really be worked on.
If a few hounds can really drag four or five stones of baggage on a flat surface and run at a speed of hundreds of miles a day, then the logistics problems of the Wu Dynasty in autumn and winter will be solved.
This means not only a significant reduction in logistical pressure, but also a greater space for strategic activities.
The greater the space for strategic activities, the stronger the strategic initiative.
"who?"
There was a shout, and two rays of cold light flashed and reflected into the small courtyard.
"I am Huang An, a man in the manufacturing department of the Ministry of Industry, and this is a document jointly signed by Da Sikong and the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
"They should be here to find me!"
Hearing the movement outside the house, Fang Fang knew who was coming.
Da Sikong, in charge of the military engineering ordnance construction of the Wu Dynasty, is nominally the same as Da Sima, and theoretically belongs to the three bosses.
In fact, because the Wu Dynasty had no money and there were not many construction projects of various types, the rank of Da Sikong remained unchanged, but he lost the dignity of his official position.
"Since you're here, you should go first. I'll close the door!" Lao Pu stepped through the door and left. He didn't want to see Huang An yet.
The power of Da Sikong has shrunk, but the Ministry of Works has created a treasurer. The position in charge of the military achievements of the Wu Dynasty is constantly rising. He seems to be the eighth or ninth figure in the Ministry of Works, but his chances of being recognized are not as good as those of the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Works. less.
…
"please!"
Huang An was silent along the way, and didn't speak until the carriage stopped. He didn't know whether he was in a hurry or impatient, so he filled all the equations in the manufacturing library.
"This is the Manufacturing Cunei Castle. The main thing we do here is research. All the things and people we need are here!"
"This leader, Liu, was just rated as a fifth-level carpenter half a month ago. He is a first-class expert in building the archery chariot. He is also very familiar with this place. If you have any questions, just ask him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Leader Liu could speak, Huang An stretched out his hand and pulled a scholar-looking man in front of Fang Fang, "He Yi, clerk, if Leader Liu can't solve the problem, just ask him to come to me!"
"I still have something to do, let's go first!"
Seeing Huang An disappearing quickly, not to mention Equation, everyone present who was familiar with Huang An was also dumbfounded.
Those who don’t know him don’t know, but those who know him know that Huang An is a naturally talkative person. He was locked up in the manufacturing warehouse. He just hoped that his mouth could be polished and he would stop talking nonsense all day long. But no one expected that Huang An was a talkative person. Although he is a talkative person, he is down-to-earth and gets along well with the craftsmen.
"These gentlemen, Mr. Huang may really have something going on. After all, there is some chaos outside right now. Why don't you let me take you around for a while?"
When Huang An called out to this gentleman, Leader Liu naturally followed suit. Of course Leader Liu was not stupid either. Huang An was either running or escaping.
Knowing Jue Juezi in my heart, what can Equation say, "My family is ignorant and frightened Mr. Huang. The manufacturing warehouse is an important place for ordnance. It's too troublesome to go around and I won't go there. Please, Leader Liu, please invite some big guys." Master, come out, let’s talk about things first!”
The men brought by Lao Pu said that they were actually drawing knives. Huang An's face was white when he went out.
Just running away like this is really beyond Equation's imagination.
"Okay, sir, what did you say, what should we do?" Team leader Liu would retort, no matter what the person in front of him was doing, he would just do his job well and not think about more.
"This Huang An is really interesting, but if I was scared, I would probably do the same thing!" Xiaohu added.
He is a fifth-grade manufacturing officer. He has no military merit on his body. How could he have no martial arts on his hands? Rather than being frightened by the light of the sword, it is better to say that he was frightened by Lao Pu.
Fang Fang rubbed his fingers, "That's a smart man, how could he be scared so easily, but this doesn't affect our work!"
Looking at the manufacturing warehouse in front of me, I can still see something in the equation.
First of all, the yamen is old but tidy. It is not the kind of tidiness that is just for the sake of appearance, but the tidiness of the heart. This is completely different from the impression that the feudal manufacturing warehouse should be messy.
The other thing is the human spirit. Team leader Liu is a craftsman, and the eight-level labor system is implemented. Money, food and welfare can change a person's appearance, but it cannot change a craftsman's attitude towards the bureaucracy in the short term, let alone a third-grade manufacturing warehouse assistant.
If Huang An usually did well and got together with the craftsmen, these people would not treat Huang An the way they do now.
Since people are skilled and capable, how can they be frightened by a few knives?
…
"Xia, where did I find my ancestor?"
West of the city, young man, Lao Pu...
He, Huang An, is not deaf or blind. He can't hear the slightest bit of wind. He patted his chest and said, "If you can't afford to offend me, why can't I hide? Anyway, as long as I don't want to be promoted, I will be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. If I have the ability, I can do it." I!"
Huang An shook his hand with a gloomy look on his face, took out the wine bottle and drank a few sips before lying down in the carriage.
