Standing in front of the gate and watching Chai Shaoyuan go, Xiao Han began to mentally plan this mission.
The task Chai Shao had just assigned him was very simple and important: to shoe all the horses in the army as quickly as possible, while keeping it as secret as possible!
"It's such a secret!"
In fact, after receiving the order, Xiao Han cursed in his heart. People can copy this thing at a glance. If nothing else, China has never lacked piracy for thousands of years! So Manager Xiao doesn’t ask for anything else, he only wants one word! quick!
Supervisor Chai Shao was kind and considerate, and gave Xiao Han more than thirty blacksmiths. When Xiao Han hurried to what Chai Shao called a secret workshop and took a look, he was immediately happy.
Who were the blacksmiths who laughed at him inside if they weren't the blacksmiths that night? Don't worry, they are all in the military, so they are loyal!
I heard from Chai Shao that in addition, there were about a dozen craftsmen and forty or fifty auxiliary soldiers, but due to identity issues, they were waiting in another courtyard.
With the blacksmith's bowl of old soup as a base, Xiao Han could more or less guess who the people with identity issues were. He went to another yard and took a look. Sure enough, most of the soldiers who were captured that day were there, squatting in the corner. Enjoy the cool air there!
They all probably knew that Xiao Han was in charge now. When they saw Xiao Han, they hurriedly stood up from the ground. None of them knew whether to call general or lord. In the end, they didn't even shout in order, so they just didn't care. Giggling!
But this silly smile, in Xiao Han's eyes, is undoubtedly the most beautiful smile!
In the past few days, the big stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground at this moment.
Really, Xiao Han never thinks that he is a gentleman, let alone a saint. Those people are too great and beyond the reach of a loser like him. But even so, he has not dared to think about these people at all recently, especially at night. , it seems that as soon as I think about it, I will be addicted to the bloody scene in my dream.
Xiao Han was afraid that they would be buried alive by the butcher named Ren Qing, so he became a bit like an ostrich, burying his mind in other things, trying to numb himself.
However, even if you do this, you can't deceive your heart. Until now, when you see everyone, you are fine, and your mood is more comfortable than can be described in words?
Looking at this group of people, Xiao Han was a little afraid that he would lose his temper if he got excited again, so he said hello and quickly left.
Standing at the door, he let out a long breath, feeling that the hot weather seemed to have cooled down. He was just about to hum a tune in his heart when he saw the ugly face that he least wanted to see.
Ren Qing stood in the aisle not far away, looking at Xiao Han's neck coldly with a dead face. The cold hair on Xiao Han's neck stood up instantly when he looked straight at it, so that Xiao Han couldn't help but stretch out his hand. He raised his collar, as if this could block Ren Qing's blade-like gaze.
Not daring to look into Ren Qing's eyes, Xiao Han glanced beside him. Next to Ren Qing, a group of soldiers in steel armor were wielding axes in their hands, cutting down all the trees and flowers around him. Even a few Taishan stones were dragged and thrown without knowing where they were going!
"Crazy!" Xiao Han cursed in his heart.
However, he didn't know that this was not Ren Qingxian's, but his special order.
Trees and flowers can easily hide people. Although there are not many spies in Chang'an, if an expert sneaks in, it will be an extremely dangerous thing. Ren Qing is now responsible for the last line of defense of this secret processing point. Not only must he ensure that the secrets are not leaked If it is leaked, Xiao Han’s safety must be absolutely guaranteed!
Because after passing the test of Fang and Du, Xiao Han's status in Li Shimin's heart has been infinitely improved! Just waiting for the time to come, Xiao Han will be recruited as a staff member immediately!
Seeing that Ren Qing had no intention of coming over to talk to him, Xiao Han didn't even bother asking for trouble and went to the blacksmith's yard without even saying hello.
After all, it's still comfortable here. As soon as he returned to the blacksmith's yard, Xiao Han didn't say anything. Immediately, a young apprentice diligently brought a small stool and tea. He didn't say anything and praised the young man. He was so happy that he was so big-mouthed. , even though this little guy is several years older than him...
The horses have not been delivered yet, but the blacksmith's stove has been set up early. Chai Shao's arrangement is quite interesting. The blacksmiths are all concentrated in this room, and the people in the yard next to the horseshoes are responsible for installing them, so outsiders only know that horses are coming in and out. As for what is done in this yard, you would never know it unless you get close.
Xiao Han had no objection to this model, but just re-optimized the process based on Chai Shao's.
"When I first saw the movie, there was a palace built on the top of a mountain that was built like a coil of mosquito coils. I always thought it was a spoof, but it turns out that this is real!"
After resting for a while, Xiao Han came to the only tall building in the compound. It was said to be a building, but it was actually a pagoda. It seemed that the original owner of the courtyard was a devout Buddhist, and the pagoda was built very * .
Standing on the top floor and looking down, the surrounding scenes suddenly came into view one by one. This tall tower is located behind the blacksmith's yard. It is all wooden and has four floors. According to the blacksmith, it is only three inches shorter than Daxing Hall. If it is compared with Daxing Hall, If it is the same height, it is over the limit, even if it is a pagoda. It will be demolished at the least, and the owner will be ruined at the worst! The strict hierarchy of etiquette is beyond the imagination of a newcomer like Xiao Han!
Think about it, in later generations, there will be countless skyscrapers with hundreds of floors. It is estimated that there are not one million but one hundred thousand taller than the Forbidden City. If they are all demolished... tsk tsk...
Thinking of tearing down all the high-rise buildings, Xiao Han took a general look at the square mosquito-repellent-repellent yard and already had some concerns in his mind.
He hurried downstairs, carefully avoiding Ren Qing, and immediately ran to the front yard.
In the front yard, the craftsmen were working enthusiastically. They did not slack off at all because Chai Shao returned to camp, but the atmosphere was obviously much more relaxed. They were still joking and joking while they were working, and they seemed to be more efficient than Chai Shao here. Time is much higher.
"Director Xiao, hey, what are your orders?"
Just as Xiao Han was looking left and right, trying to find a person in charge, a simple and honest voice came from behind him.
Xiao Han turned around, and a middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes was looking at him with a naive smile.
"Oh? Do you know me?" Xiao Han asked curiously.
The man shook his head and nodded again: "I didn't know you before. Just when you accompanied Manager Chai Shao in, someone told me that you..."
"Official? Are you still an official?" Xiao Han was surprised and looked at the man up and down, with his patched clothes and messy hair. If the man said that he was a farmer digging in the soil, Xiao Han would definitely believe it. He is also an official, so this is too miserable...
The middle-aged man was not angry at all because of Xiao Han's unintentional slight. Seeing that Xiao Han didn't believe it, he quickly took out his official certificate from his pocket and showed it to Xiao Han.
I don’t know who wrote the official certificate. The handwriting is extremely ugly. The first one is the man’s name and his hometown affiliation, and the second one is the eighth-rank secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
What does a secretary do? Xiao Han didn't know, but he thought that this person should be in charge. After returning the official certificate to others, Xiao Han thought about it in his mind. He was from the seventh grade, and he was the eighth grade. He seemed to have a higher official position than him...
That was enough. I immediately took the eighth-grade Sesame Officer and reorganized the yard. This Chai Shao was too stingy! For such a big project, demolishing a few walls is of no use, demolish them all! Anyway, the owner of this house had committed a crime and was executed!
"This, this! And this! I'll knock them all down!!!"
Once you have the power, you will carry out your orders! Don't look at how Xiao Han looks like he is fourteen or fifteen years old now. In today's world, anyone who is fourteen or fifteen years old may have been on the battlefield several times!
Moreover, because Chai Shao, the second-largest figure in the army, came specifically to support Xiao Han this morning, the auxiliary soldiers and craftsmen worked hard! There was no ambiguity about where to hit. When I was young, a huge yard covering an area of 30 to 40 acres was demolished and only a zigzag was left! The entire circle next to the outer courtyard wall has been cleared! But this courtyard is really too big. Even if so many walls and buildings are demolished, there are still many houses and courtyards left!
The blacksmith and a bunch of bushes are in the small courtyard in the middle. The corridor cleared around the courtyard wall on the left is used to enter the horses, and the one on the right is used to get the horses out. There is a row of fights at the back!
The auxiliary soldiers were brought out from the yard non-stop, and each person was assigned a job to perform their duties. Those who tied the horses tied the horses, those who shaved their hooves shaved their hooves, and those who nailed the horseshoes! Although the horse has not arrived yet, everyone is aware of their responsibilities, and they can't help but look at Xiao Han a little differently. The division of labor is so clear, and there is indeed a lot less wrangling and mischief. As long as everyone takes care of themselves, then This job will go on smoothly!
After all, there are more people than strength. By noon, everything was almost done. Even if it was not finished, there was only a little finishing work left. The eighth-grade Sesame Officer outside had already taken his craftsmen back to who knows where. For a moment, the huge courtyard was empty again, leaving only Ren Qing and his group of guards, and Xiao Han and the auxiliary soldiers and blacksmiths.
Directing the auxiliary soldiers to install the last wooden frame, Xiao Han sat on a stone and took a breath. Unknowingly, his stomach began to growl again. Xiao Han then remembered that he was so devoted to what he was doing that he even missed his meal. Got it!
After straightening his sore waist, Xiao Han stretched out his hand to call Feng Da who was following behind him. While stroking his growling belly, he asked: "Hey, Brother Feng, why don't you think no one has brought food to you yet?" ?Brothers have been busy all morning!"
Feng Da was originally a little dissatisfied with Xiao Han's achievement of an official position at a young age, but after this morning, he saw that Xiao Han had arranged the tasks properly and even considered some details carefully. He was suddenly surprised. No wonder He can become an official at a young age, but he is so old that he has not even become the head of the bodyguard!
Hearing Xiao Han's question at this time, Feng Da hurriedly came up to him and replied with some embarrassment: "In reply to Brother Xiao, don't you know this now? We are not in the military camp at this time, and the gang leader army will not care. For us, we need to take care of our own meals!"
"Come by yourself?" Xiao Han was surprised when he heard this. He looked up at the sky. It was already noon. Why didn't you tell him until now?
"Originally I wanted to remind you earlier, but later I saw that you were too involved and I forgot..." Feng Da said embarrassedly.
When Xiao Han heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. These two living treasures were too unreliable. He must ask Xiaodong over in the afternoon. At least he would not forget such an important thing as eating!
"Where's the money? Do you have any money? Don't tell me, I won't give you any money!"
"There is money! There is money! There is still a lot!!!"
When Liu Er heard this, he quickly came up and pulled Xiao Han to a surviving house. When he opened the door, there were two wooden boxes side by side in the room. They were big or small. The hemp rope tied to the lock nose, It is very eye-catching in the room!
"Look, this is what my eldest brother and I watched them move in this morning!" Liu Er said, stepping in first, looking at one of the wooden boxes, using a horizontal knife to cut the hemp rope on the box, and then turned his wrist , the lock flew up, and under the power of the horizontal knife, the heavy box lid flipped up!
Suddenly, there was a box of copper coins, mixed with silver cakes, and even a few gold ingots! Just appearing naked in front of a few people!
To be honest, Xiao Han only really saw what it means to be generous! What does it mean to be a rich person! Don’t use pockets to carry money, use boxes!
"This is...gold!!!"
After opening the wooden box, Xiao Han and his wife stared at the wooden box in shock for several seconds! Just when Feng Da Liu Er was about to praise him for his determination, Xiao Han suddenly let out a strange cry, and pounced on him like a hungry tiger pouncing on food!
I was used to being poor in my previous life. This was the first time in my life that I saw so much money. Xiao Han's performance was even worse than that of a beggar!
Feng Da Liu Er watched with black lines on his head as Xiao Han desperately packed the gold and silver into his arms without fear of bursting the clothes! The respect that had just risen in the morning suddenly disappeared without a trace!
"Brother Xiao, be steady, be steady!!!"
The two brothers stared at each other in stunned silence for a long time before they realized what they were doing. They quickly stepped forward and pulled the red-eyed Xiao Han down with great effort. Seeing that Xiao Han seemed to be crazy, Feng Er quickly closed the box. ! It wasn't until he couldn't see the gold that Xiao Han gradually returned to normal...
"Brother Xiao? Brother Xiao?" Seeing the redness in Xiao Han's eyes fade away, Feng Da tried calling twice. Seeing that Xiao Han didn't respond, he stretched out his big hand and waved it twice in front of Xiao Han.
"What...what are you doing?" Xiao Han's eyes gradually returned to clarity, but his heart was still beating as fast as a drum. It felt like a battle. He remembered what happened just now clearly, but he didn't understand why he was so impulsive. , does a person’s mental age follow his physical age? Why do I feel like I’m going further and further down the wrong path lately...
He tried hard to restrain his eyes from looking at the box, but this damn box was like a big magnet, firmly attracting his eyes!
