As soon as Qin Xiao entered the yamen the next day, he was summoned by Han Tian.

The scribe Xu Lang reported the things in the warehouse to the top, Qin Xiao had already guessed it, and he had already prepared in his heart, and when he arrived at Han Day's house, Han Sun had already greeted him, which was completely different from the cold face he had yesterday, and after letting Qin Xiao sit down, he smiled and said: "Qin Xiao, you went to the Jiazi library yesterday, how do you feel?" ”

"My empire is strong, and the weapons in the warehouse are piled up." Qin Xiao said respectfully: "I didn't have a chance before, and I couldn't imagine that the scale of the armory would be so large. ”

Han Tian said with a smile: "I asked you to go to the warehouse yesterday to let you know about the situation." Although you are an official of the A-word library, you don't have to go to the A-word library every day, unless someone comes to collect the weapon, you have to go over and deal with it. He clapped his hands and shouted, "Someone! ”

A small official immediately came in outside, carrying a large tray with robes and hats on it, Han Yan smiled and said, "You are already a commander of the A-word library, and this official uniform is indispensable." However, when you have just taken office, it usually takes three or five days to make the official palace, and your official uniform has not yet been sewn, so it will take a few days, but it is always misleading to enter and exit the yamen in such a cloth suit. This year's spring clothes have been sent a few days ago, and they haven't been sent yet, just so I see that the official clothes of the B-word library officials are thin, you will put them on first, and your official clothes will be sent over in two days. ”

"Thank you for taking care of me." Qin Xiao arched his hand.

"How about you try it?" Han Tian pointed to the screen: "You can change it behind the screen." ”

Qin Xiao didn't refuse, took the coat and hat behind the screen, and quickly changed it, it didn't fit very well, the clothes were not big, but they were a little longer.

"Sure enough, it's a young man." Han Tian smiled: "Let's just take a moment for the time being." He waved his hand to let people retreat, and then said softly: "Qin Xiao, you are on an errand in the Treasury Department, and if you say something that you shouldn't say, from now on, you will be regarded as a person of this official." The knowledge of officialdom is very deep, but if you really want to say that it is complicated, it is not so complicated, as long as you remember a few things, I will ensure that you are like a fish in water in officialdom. ”

"Please give me advice!"

Han Ri stroked his beard and said: "First of all, you have to obey the superiors, this is not because you are my subordinate, but in the officialdom, the upper level can determine your future, if you can't even get along with your own superiors, if you want to go down in the officialdom, there are thorns everywhere." ”

"That's what my lord said." Qin Xiao said solemnly.

Han Tian was still very satisfied with Qin Xiao's humble attitude, and continued: "This second case is to kowtow more and talk less. The old man has clouds, and disaster comes from the mouth, this is not a joke. Whether it is the auxiliary prime minister in the court, or the Jiupin sesame official, he must keep his mouth tight, if he accidentally says something that should not be said, it will be a catastrophe. Then he smiled faintly and said: "In fact, there are a lot of tricks in this officialdom, but the most important thing is to find the trick from the word 'official'." You see, there are two mouths for the official word, but there is a treasure cover on it, and under the treasure cover, it is naturally their own family, in other words, there are some things that are okay for their own family to say, but they must not go outside to talk nonsense, but if there is a mouth, this official word will not be done. ”

"Listening to the words of adults is really better than reading a book for ten years." Qin Xiao was in awe: "I have no experience in my humble position, I have the teachings of adults, I should be cautious everywhere, if I shouldn't say anything, I will never dare to say a word more." ”

Han Tian laughed and said, "I know that you have a very high level of understanding, and you can understand it at a point." Beckoning to Qin Xiao and signaling Qin Xiao to come closer, Qin Xiao got up and stepped forward, Han Tian asked in a low voice, "Have you entered the warehouse yesterday?" ”

"Returning to the adult's words, I've been in." Qin Xiao said sincerely: "Your Excellency will hand over the Azi library to the lowly position, and the lowly position will not dare to slack off, thinking that you must first familiarize yourself with the situation there, and then you can do things in the future so that you will not make mistakes, so as not to live up to the trust of the adult." ”

"That's right." Han Tian smiled and said, "What do you feel when you enter the warehouse?" ”

Qin Xiao wanted to speak and stopped, Han Tian raised his hand and pointed upward: "Above is the roof, below is your own person, you are my person, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"My lord's forgiveness, I opened a weapon box yesterday." Qin Xiao said in a low voice.

The corners of Han Tian's eyes jumped and he asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"This ......!" Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The lowly position does not dare to conceal it, the weapons in the weapon box are of very inferior quality, and the lowly officials have tried it personally, but they cannot be used at all, if such weapons are allocated to officers and soldiers, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Han Tian was very satisfied with Qin Xiao's honesty, and said with a smile: "Actually, if you don't talk about this, I will also talk to you." As you know, weapons are built by the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry, and sometimes there are some inferior weapons, which is inevitable. The imperial court did not allocate enough money, but it also asked us to ensure that the weapons in the warehouse could not be less than 100,000 pieces, and the Ministry of Industry could only keep everything simple, and we could only put some inferior weapons into the warehouse. The Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry is closely connected with us, and if they make some mistakes, we are officials in the same dynasty, so we naturally have to take care of them. ”

"I see." Qin Xiao had a look of sudden realization.

"But don't worry, none of these weapons will be set aside." Han Tianzheng said: "The soldiers are working hard for the country, if we allocate these inferior weapons to them, won't we lose our conscience?" Qin Xiao, you must remember this matter, the weapons allocated by our military department must be the best weapons, and they must not make the soldiers feel cold. Xu Lang knows the situation of the warehouse well, and he will allocate weapons in the future, and he will distribute them. ”

Qin Xiao arched his hand and said, "Remember the humble duty." ”

Han Tian smiled slightly, and took out a silver ingot from his sleeve: "This official has always been blessed and shared with hardships, you just came to Kyoto, and you can't live in an inn all the time, rent a private house in Kyoto first." This is five taels of silver, you take it first, with these five taels of silver, it is naturally not difficult to rent a good place to live. ”

Qin Xiao sneered in his heart, but there was a flattered expression on his face, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, this must not be." ”

"If you are a family, you don't have to be polite." Han Tian sent the silver to Qin Xiao: "You just take it." ”

Qin Xiao naturally knew that once his hand touched this silver, he was immediately pulled into the water, shook his head and said: "My lord, there are still some silver taels on my humble position, I really don't want my lord to break the bank." The adult's salary must also support the family, and the adult's care for the lowly duty is kept in mind, but the silver can never be collected. ”

Han Tian's mind naturally wanted to pull Qin Xiao into the water, but it was really painful to take out five taels of silver, but if Qin Xiao didn't take this silver, he would always be unsteady in his heart, and before he could speak, Qin Xiao said again: "My lord, when the lowly silver is not enough, I will borrow it from the adult when the time comes." ”

Han Tian hesitated slightly, then heard the sound of footsteps outside, and heard the humanitarian: "Report to the principal, the ministry invites you to come over." ”

"Lord Ministry?" Han Tian didn't dare to let people see it, put away the silver, coughed, Qin Xiao also took a few steps back with interest, and the person outside arrived in front of the door and said respectfully: "Lord Ministries is waiting." ”

"Do you know what?"

"I heard that someone from Yuzhou is here." The man said: "They captured Bi Junchang, the ticket commander under Wang Chao, and escorted him to Kyoto yesterday. ”

Han Tian's eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "Caught Bi Junchang?" ”

"Yes, it was personally escorted into Beijing by Xue Keyong, the commander of the Yuzhou battalion." The man said: "Bi Junchang has been escorted to Dali Temple, Xue Keyong came to the military department to report on his work, it seems that there are some things to discuss, and the lord of the ministry specially passed you over." ”

Han Tian didn't talk nonsense, hurriedly got up, and said to Qin Xiao: "You go and get busy first, I'll go see Lord Ministry." "Hurried away.

Qin Xiao went out and saw that the person who reported was about to leave, so he raised his hand and shouted, "Wait a minute." ”

"Your Excellency!" The man turned around and saw Qin Xiao's official uniform and immediately saluted.

"Who are you talking about?" Qin Xiao was puzzled: "Who is Bi Junchang?" ”

The man was stunned and said, "Your Excellency doesn't know? Then he felt that his words were very rude, and hurriedly explained: "Returning to the order of the official, Wang Chao is a bandit in Yuzhou, he is a smuggler of salt, is a native of Xiyang, Runan County, Yuzhou, last year there was a big flood in many places in Yuzhou, Wang Chao gathered hundreds of people to make a rebellion, in a short period of time, Xiao gathered thousands of people, called himself the general Haotian, there are six capable generals under his hands, known as the ticket commander, that Bi Junchang is one of the ticket commanders under him. ”

Qin Xiao was in Xiling, and he also knew if there was a strong rebellion in the pass, but he had never heard of the name of this king's nest.

"Wang Chao took four or five county seats in Runan County at the beginning, and he was extremely arrogant, and the Yuzhou battalion surrounded and suppressed the rebels, but he suffered several defeats." The man said: "However, Xue Ke used to buy a ticket commander under Wang Chao, Xu Rong and wealth, the ticket commander secretly informed Xue Keyong of the movements of Wang Chao, Xue Ke set up an ambush, and beat the main force of the rebel army of Wang Chao to the ground, Wang Chao lost his troops, and two of the six ticket commanders were killed, this Wang Chao broke out with a few people, Xue Ke used to recover the county town occupied by the rebels, and the sage issued a decree to praise. ”

Qin Xiao asked, "Where is the Wang Chao now?" ”

"No one knows." The man: "After escaping, he hid with the remnants, and there has been no whereabouts of them. Yuzhou is a heavy reward for Wang Chao and his subordinates, if you can catch Wang Chao, whether you live or die, you can get a thousand gold, and his ticket commander is also worth 500 gold. This time, Xue Ke personally escorted Bi Junchang to Beijing, which was to ask for a reward. ”

Qin Xiao bowed slightly, didn't ask too much, and motioned for the man to retreat first.

These things didn't have much to do with him, and he didn't worry much about it, so he went straight to the Wudefang Jiakula, Xu Lang was really a little apprehensive when he saw Qin Xiao, after all, he secretly told the secret and reported Qin Xiao's unboxing yesterday to Han Day.

However, Qin Xiao was kind and pleasant, and he didn't mention that stubble at all, so Qin Xiao was relieved.

Qin Xiao simply slept in the back room in the afternoon, he was the head of the Treasury Department, and he had his own separate room, and no one else dared to disturb him.

When I woke up, it was already dusk, full of energy, and as soon as I went out, Xu Lang had already bowed forward and said with a smile: "Adults are awake?" ”

Qin Xiao looked at the sky and said, "Is it about to be on duty?" ”

"My lord, there is still time for a stick of incense to be on duty." Xu Lang handed over a file: "Lord Fang just rested, didn't dare to disturb, just now the Lord in charge sent someone to inform him, three days later, the Yuzhou battalion will come to the warehouse to receive weapons, receive 300 shields, 200 longbows, 50 sets of armor, these weapons are received from other warehouses, on our side to receive a thousand barrier knives, 1,000 spears, the Lord in charge let us prepare first." ”

Qin Xiao immediately thought of Xue Keyong, the commander of the Yuzhou battalion today, going to the military headquarters, and it seemed that Xue Keyong went to the military headquarters to ask for weapons.

He exterminated Wang Chao's rebels, and this time escorted Wang Chao's ticket commander Bi Junchang, it can be said that he has made a lot of achievements, this time he entered Beijing to ask for some weapons, the court will naturally not be stingy, of course it will meet Xue Keyong's request.
