"You two wait for me!" Threatening weakly, Zhang Qian stopped abruptly.

After all, the ordnance supervisor is not his own home, and he, a young prisoner, has to pay attention to his image. Although the fight is noisy, it will not attract impeachment. However, it is inevitable that the craftsmen of the various departments will feel that the young prisoners are not stable enough, and they will gradually become slack, which will affect the normal operation of the affairs of the prisons.

When I return to Zhuangzi, I don't have this worry. Recently, combined with the gourd gourd hammer power skills taught by Wang Maobo, Zhang Qian consciously made rapid progress in the way of fighting. It can just be verified on the two junior disciples, so as not to practice for a long time, become unfamiliar with kung fu, and become an eighth-century master horse.

Just as he was gritting his teeth and being ruthless, the voice of Wang Jun of the Gunpowder Administration came from his ears again, "Young eunuch, I'm afraid this matter must not be sloppy." Although the message from the high prison is only a verbal message, the subordinates recommend that you report to the main supervisor in time. He has been up and down for many years, and knows better than most what to do about it. ”

This is an old and serious remark, which immediately made Zhang Qian stop thinking playfully and thank him seriously. Immediately, he arranged his daily work, jumped into the carriage, and went straight to the Yamen of the Military Department in Chang'an City.

It just so happened that Zhang said that he didn't need to go to the court today, and after hearing Zhang Qian's explanation, he immediately shook his head with a smile: "Yongzhao doesn't have to be so nervous, every year after winter and spring, the saint will go to the Forbidden Garden to review the Imperial Forest Army." This time, the Holy Driver came to the Ordnance Prison, but it was just because the Ordnance Supervisor happened to have moved to the Forbidden Garden. ”

"But, but the Holy One said that he was looking forward to a surprise at that time!" The tension in Zhang Qian's heart did not ease at all, hesitated for a moment, and cautiously reminded.

"Let the armor staff department, get a few sets of sturdy and good-looking armor, or the bow and crossbow department, and find a way to load the gunpowder on the crossbow rod of the bed, it's almost enough!" Zhang Shuo smiled, as if he was confident, "The Holy Lord only said that just to urge you to be motivated, in fact, he didn't expect you to really be able to come up with something refreshing in just a few days." Otherwise, what the High Prison Gate will bring you is not a verbal message, but a formal decree. ”

Seeing that Zhang Qian was still worried, after thinking about it, he lowered his voice and added, "The effect of alcohol, except that it can heal wounds, is similar to that fierce fire oil." However, the fierce fire oil is produced in the Western Regions, and it is only used when the Great Food Soldiers and Horses attack the city, and it is rare to see it on the market. Therefore, when I found that your alcohol burned so badly, the Holy One gave it the name of gunpowder. If you can think of anything other than to load gunpowder on a crossbow, you might as well try it. After all, it is good for the Holy Lord to feel that the whole of the Ordnance Prison is doing their best! ”

"Yes, Prisoner, I'll try to make a few of them as soon as I get back!" When Zhang Qian heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and immediately gave up his hand gratefully. However, deep down, there is always a feeling of apprehension lingering.

In the 21st century, alcohol will not be considered a weapon of war at all. Therefore, the solution he can come up with is nothing more than how to combine the flammable properties of alcohol with Datang's current weapons to exert greater power. These methods, basically, can be imagined by individuals with a little effort, and it is difficult to meet the standard of surprising the Divine Dragon Emperor Li Xian.

"You don't have to be too yourself!" Zhang said that he was a very kind boss, especially for the subordinates he admired, and he took good care of them, "You have made the weapons supervisor look new from top to bottom." In the past, everyone knew what the weapons prison was like. Although it can't be said that everyone is eating and waiting to die, it is basically a monk who hits the clock for a day. And although you have not been a young eunuch for a few days, you are setting up windmills, making hot pots, stoves, water stoves and other things, so that every moment in the prison is in full swing! ”

"It's the chief eunuch who has been supporting his subordinates, and if someone else is replaced, he will definitely reprimand his subordinates for not doing their jobs!" Zhang Qian was a little embarrassed to be praised, and hurriedly smiled and pushed the "credit" on Zhang Shuo's head.

The earth heater is still in the trial production stage, so it has not been handed over to an outside trading house for the time being. But for the hot pot and the stove, he had already transferred the technology to the firm under the names of the Guo family and the Ren family at a price that was satisfactory to both parties. Of course, he will not rigidly hand over all the money in exchange for these "technology transfers", and Datang has no precedent for handing them over to the treasury before. So, in recent times, the Ordnance Superintendent has been mainly busy moving. But all the prisons, every official, craftsman, and apprentice made a small fortune unexpectedly.

Money is the first magic weapon to mobilize enthusiasm, whether it is the 21st century or the 8th century, it is exactly the same. found that with the new young eunuch, everyone was not only expected to be promoted, but also had a rapid increase in income. The ordnance supervisor was up and down, and of course the morale was bursting. Not only did the overall relocation not cost Zhang Qian, the young eunuch, much effort, but even the daily production of bows, crossbows, armor and blades, both in quality and quantity, has risen a step higher than the original!

"Not doing your job? If the young eunuchs and young craftsmen of the five prisons are all like you, the other four old guys will probably have to wake up laughing from their dreams! Zhang said that he was a cool person, and he didn't waste his lips and tongue on polite words with Zhang Qian. smiled and waved his hand, and began to assign him tasks: "In the past few days, you don't just have to be busy making things, first comb through everyone in the ordnance prison from top to bottom." Those who brought the craftsmen in for leisure, those whose identities were not recorded, and those whose origins seemed to be in doubt, were all cleaned up and sent home. Whoever planted them in the first place, let them go home and rest for a month, and then make other arrangements after the Holy Lord's inspection has passed. In addition......"

This is a major event involving the safety of the emperor, Zhang Qian did not dare to slack off, promised to take a pen and paper, and recorded the other party's explanations one by one.

Zhang said that he was very satisfied with his attitude, and carefully instructed some details of etiquette when receiving the emperor, before standing up and personally sending him to the carriage.

And Zhang Qian's mood felt more apprehensive than before he came to meet this top boss. After closing the door, he immediately "collapsed" on top of his seat.

There are only eight days in total, and it is necessary to create gifts for Li Xian, prepare surprises for Li Xian, and arrange reception details to avoid people losing their manners because of excessive excitement!

In addition, he had to sort out the team, clear out hidden dangers, and ensure the emperor's safety. No wonder the grassroots cadres of later generations, no one is willing to lead the inspection, there are too many extra things that need to be done, which makes everyone annoyed!

But no matter how annoying it is, Zhang Qian doesn't dare to pick on it. Otherwise, Sensei said that he would help the ruby girl change her fate, and even the gate of the Yang family, he would want to go forward in the future.

Therefore, after leaving Chang'an City, Zhang Qian immediately struggled to sit up straight, and instructed Zhang Gui, who was in charge of the family, to drive the carriage to Zhang Ruoxu's house, in order to listen to some useful suggestions from different angles.

"It seems that it won't be long before the old man can say hello to Yongzhao again!" What made Zhang Qianyou a little disappointed was that after Zhang Ruoxu listened to his statement, his first reaction was to congratulate him on being in the emperor's heart, "The saint is rich all over the world, so he won't ask for something from a certain courtier casually." He took your hot pot and water stove for nothing, indicating that he didn't treat you as an outsider. Other courtiers begged the saint to find him for nothing, but they couldn't ask for this kind of favor! ”

It turns out that the emperor and his family run a pirated website, and they can afford to take anything from him! Zhang Qian secretly slandered in his heart, but he could only barely squeeze out a smile on his face, "What Uncle Shi said is very true. But the more this is the case, the more panicked the younger generations become. In case the saint came to inspect the day, where was there a mistake, or the things that the junior took out made the saint lose hope, wouldn't the junior live up to the grace of the saint's knowledge?! “

The Holy One just said it so casually, he didn't know what he wanted to see, so how could he be "disappointed" at that time? Zhang Ruoxu shook his head, and explained with a little hesitation, "According to the old man's opinion, you just need to do your best." But the people you can see on this trip, you have to choose carefully in advance. At that time, whether someone disturbs the holy driver, or the monarch loses his honor, in the end, you will have endless hanging! ”

Yes, this is exactly the same as Zhang Shuo's previous advice, except for the different tones! Therefore, after Zhang Qian heard this, he couldn't react at all except to say yes.

That Zhang Ruoxu saw his performance in his eyes, and he knew that he didn't help. He smiled and explained in a low voice: "You can only figure out this matter yourself." The old man is actually the same as you, he has no experience, and he may not even be as good as you. In short, put the safety of the saints first. Even if you rehearse it a few more times in advance, it is better than being caught off guard if something goes wrong at that time. Otherwise, just do your best, don't expect too much! You must know that no matter how big the surprise is, it can't withstand the sin of frightening the holy driver! ”

Although these words do not sound uplifting, they are heartfelt. Even in the 21 st century, when the leaders come up to inspect, the clever approach of the grassroots cadres is to seek no fault, not to seek meritorious service, and not to ask for on-the-spot performance. Therefore, when Zhang Qian heard this, he hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Uncle Shi is right!" The juniors will go back to sort out the team, and then arrange for people to conduct drills! ”

After that, he didn't dare to stay at Zhang Ruoxu's house longer, so he said a few polite words casually, and then said goodbye and went out.

"Alas-" When the body sat in the carriage again, Zhang Qian couldn't help but sigh.

That's the disadvantage of not having a huge family behind you. If he is also a child of a family like Lu Xuan, when he encounters such a thing as coming to inspect the above, there must be no number of people around him to help make suggestions. And now, the only two seniors he can find can't give him any good ideas, or the help for him is very limited.

When Emperor Li Xian of the Heavenly Dragon came to monitor and inspect the weapon, it was definitely not as Zhang Shuo and Zhang Ruoxu thought, but just a stopby. Zhang Qian could clearly feel this from Gao Yanfu's demeanor and tone when he conveyed the message.

Li Xian, the Emperor of the Heavenly Divine Dragon, must be looking forward to the Weapons Supervisor coming up with something new, and Zhang Qian can also feel this clearly. However, he couldn't guess what direction Li Xian was looking forward to, let alone how "advanced" what he had come up with in order to be on a par with alcohol, windmills, and machine shafts.

"Or shall I give him the black powder?" Thinking of the official name given by Li Xian, Zhang Qian's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

However, in the blink of an eye, he pinched the thought to ashes.

Black powder, he had indeed concocted. Moreover, it was also prepared with three or four hundred catties. However, this thing is the foundation of his life at a critical moment, and he shouldn't even let the second person know, let alone dedicate it to Li Xian!

The plan has not changed quickly, and Zhang Qian, who has already been a five-rank young eunuch, is no longer able to hide outside Chang'an City forever as he imagined when he first came to Datang, avoiding all the chaos before Li Longji came to power.

What kind of emperor Li Xian is, it is difficult for Zhang Qian to evaluate.

How long Li Xian has been the emperor, Zhang Qian is not clear.

However, how did Li Xian die in the history of another time and space. Zhang Qian vaguely knew a rough idea.

That hard-working man, the teenager was subject to his mother, and after middle age, he was subject to his wife and daughter. I'm afraid that he doesn't know what family affection is all his life, let alone really grasp his own destiny.

At the moment, no matter how much he appreciates Zhang Qian, he can't make Zhang Qian feel safe. On the contrary, the closer he gets, the more nervous Zhang Qian's heart becomes.

In Datang, Zhang has no family as a backer, and he doesn't know any peerless martial arts. In case of irresistible danger, black powder and a few gadgets made from black powder are his last killer moves.

These killing tricks are sacrificed, even if Zhang Qian can't get out of the way, at least he can fight with others. Whether the other party is a prince, a general, a princess, or a queen!

Chang'an in the eighth century was much warmer than Xi'an in the twenty-first century. Although the season is winter, the time is noon, and the carriage is still hot and stuffy by the sun.

Zhang Qian had something in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel irritable. The side door of the carriage was simply opened, and while ventilating the carriage, I enjoyed the winter scenery on the side of the road. (Note: In the Tang Dynasty, the earth experienced a warm and humid period, and the rise of Tibet was directly related to this.) The drop in temperature at the end of the Tang Dynasty was also one of the reasons for the demise of Tibet. ）

The trees on the side of the road have lost their leaves, and there is no grass on the ground, so the scenery is naturally not good. Fortunately, it was a sunny day, and the sky overhead was as blue as blue, and there was no trace of industrial pollution, which made people feel a little less stressed after a few glances.

"If only I could meet the young girl!" Human nature is always greedy and insufficient, recalling that he once met the ruby girl Yang Qingxin on this road, and knew each other, Zhang Qian's heart couldn't help but swell with a trace of expectation.

"Bang, bang, bang......" As if God heard his expectation, in front of the car, a series of crisp horses' hooves soon sounded, getting closer and closer, closer and closer, followed by, a familiar figure, flashed in front of him.

'Wang Maozhong? Zhang Qian's brows furrowed slightly, and the anticipation in his stomach quickly cooled.

Just as he was about to close the carriage door hard, the man on horseback had already pulled the reins hard, "Huh-", followed closely, turned the horse's head, and reached out to break off a dead branch the thickness of a child's arm from the wild tree on the side of the road, "Master Zhang, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Come on, come on, Wang will teach you a few more tricks today! ”

"Ignore him and go straight home!" If it were normal times, Zhang Qian might jump out of the car and solve the itchy skin for the other party. However, today, Zhang Qiancai didn't have time to deal with this reckless man, so he gave an order to his family member Zhang Gui and tightened the car door.

Where is Wang Maozhong willing to give up? He slammed the horse's belly, urged the mount, and chased after the car. "Come down, Young Eunuch Zhang, you are kind to your brother, and I will never dare to hurt you. However, who can't beat or run, the two of us must be clear today! ”

"I can't beat you, you're amazing, okay!" Zhang Qian disliked this person's trouble, and decisively separated the carriage, admitting that his martial arts were inferior.

If you don't say this, if you say it, it makes Wang Maozhong feel even more embarrassed. Unexpectedly, the branch raised high and smashed towards the carriage, "Come out, don't go down the turtle." There is a kind of you don't get out of the car today, otherwise, where you go, Wang will follow you today! “

"Knock, knock, knock!" The wooden carriages make a constant disturbing noise under the tapping of tree branches.

Even knocked more than a dozen times, but seeing that Zhang Qian didn't react, Wang Maozhong still didn't know how to converge at all. Unexpectedly, he pulled the reins suddenly, and rode his horse around the side of the carriage, "Young Eunuch Zhang, don't think you are an official ......"

"Thief, don't go wild!" A loud shout suddenly fell from the sky, suffocating his arrogant shouts directly back into his throat.

"Who?" The alarm in his heart rose sharply, Wang Maozhong gave up the pursuit of Zhang Qian, slowed down his mount, and quickly raised his head.

Before he could see what the binge drinker looked like, there was a long stick with white flowers, which had already volleyed into the air with a spinner, "Bang! With a bang, it smashed into his chest, smashing him so much that he shook his body and fell directly off the horse!
