Hanxiang felt that Xiaohuan's personality was unstable, and planned to arrange a female secretary to Chen Mu's side.

But the three female secretaries under her look uglier than the other, for fear that Chen Mu will not like it.

In Chen Mu's own words, he is a member of the "Appearance Association", although Hanxiang can't figure out the source of this sentence, but she can still understand the meaning of her quick mind.

"Uncle, there are three people in your family now, all of them are women."

Hanxiang finished the work at hand and began to sort out the documents, saying that there was no match.

Chen Mu met with a few guys from the papermaking workshop in the morning, and later didn't know what means Hanxiang used to get the paper-making formula from them.

At this time, he was looking at the formula, and when he heard Hanxiang say this, he smiled and said, "There are ten guards standing at the door, and there is a secret sentry in the courtyard." There are quite a few men in my family. ”

Hanxiang pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Chen Mu shook the paper in his hand: "These recipes should not be easily passed on, how did you get them?" ”

Hanxiang smiled ashamedly and said: "Just say that the general wants it, who dares not to give it." ”

Chen Mu shook his head: "But in this way, it is very likely that the fake formula is coming." ”

Hanxiang smiled a little treacherously: "I asked the soldiers to go to them with the formula, and they said that they had seen that the formula was fake." Let them hand over the real thing, and if they don't, take them to jail. ”

Chen Mu waved his hand: "This trick is very your father's style, but I don't think it's appropriate, because I don't want to steal their technology at all, I just want to cooperate." Look at their workshops, how much wood is used. Now it seems that wood is one of the best materials for papermaking, and I think the biggest problem now is how to crush the wood. I need to build a heavy-duty grinder. ”

Hanxiang tilted her head slightly: "Is it just to increase the forage grinder?" ”

"It's not." Chen Mu said: "The principle is different. The forage itself is fragile, but the branches are different. It needs to be smashed first and then crushed, which are two steps. The efficiency of making pulp in the traditional process is too slow, and I need to start with this. Mass production is a matter of course after increasing efficiency. ”

Saying that he was playing here, Chen Mu stretched his waist: "Papermaking is a big deal, if it is only sold in the Dunhuang area, it is really a waste of technology." ”

"Uncle wants to go to the Central Plains to sell?"

"Maybe it's possible."

After winning a battle, it is inevitable to ask the superiors for the merits of the soldiers.

It is said that Wu Dong and Cao Sui are seizing the opportunity to move around and promote their own people.

Chen Mu will not miss such an opportunity, in addition to asking for money for the soldiers and improving the rehabilitation treatment, he also has to solve the problem of the number of the temporary fourth brigade, and take advantage of the situation to solve the problem of Hanxiang and Xiaohuan's military status.

Up to now, Hanxiang and Xiaohuan's identities are still slaves, although there is a military establishment, but it is not a regular establishment, and it cannot change their slave status.

But if you can join the military registration, it is different, and the previous slave registration will be automatically invalidated. In this way, each person can also save 1,000 taels of slave tax.

Hearing that Chen Mu handed over his personnel relations to the Ministry of War again, Xiaohuan seemed a little excited, waiting for approval all day long, perhaps because she was too nervous, she was even a little distracted, and she could even be in a daze halfway through eating the fruit.

If you join the army, you will have a minimum monthly salary of 3,000 in the future, and the big-eyed girl is full of longing for the future.

When I think about last year, I was still worried about whether I would fall into the Red Pavilion this year. The sinful days of the Red Pavilion simply make people not want to live. At the Xiusheng meeting, he and his sisters went to the street to look for Xiusheng, but they were unlucky and never found Xiusheng. She was so anxious that she went round and round.

In the end, I finally found a poor scholar, but he was also "robbed on the street" by the tall lady of Meixian Academy, and competed with him, but he hadn't robbed anyone yet. At this time, Chen Mu came out, not only did she help her a lot at that time to avoid being scolded by the old bustard, but also saved her for the rest of her life.

It is said that Xiaohuan can't remember what her parents look like, and she doesn't remember where her hometown is, she has no relatives, so she treats Chen Mu as a relative. So the possibility of the small ring mutiny is really small. In Chen Mu's words, she would not betray me unless there were very special circumstances.

She has a tricky personality and doesn't have any good friends. The only friend is the Hongguan Xiaoyu who rowed with her at the Xiusheng Meeting, and since she left Luoyang, she hasn't written a letter to her.

Thinking of my friend's hard life, I can't help but feel a little sad.

picked up the pen, wrote a letter to Xiaoyu, wrapped a few pieces of jewelry, and finally stuffed two taels of silver. These two taels of silver are half of the money of Xiaohuan's private house. For her, it's already very generous.

Put the letter and money in a small box, wrap it, attach the address, take it to Zhang Han for help, and mail it at the military post station.

Of course, Zhang Han didn't have to go in person, he just sent a cavalryman to do it.

Soon after, there were rumors that Zhang Han had a good relationship in Wanhualou.

As a result, rumors reached the ears of Mrs. Zhang Han.

Madame cursed those who had rotten tongues and did not die well, and said, "My husband is a gentleman and a gentleman, and it is impossible for him to do this."

Chen Mu sighed: "There is a good wife in the family, and at the same time, Zhang Han is not afraid of shadows. ”

Hanxiang came to Chen Mu with the documents of the Ministry of War.

Chen Mu also wondered, the efficiency of the military department this time is really high enough, it took more than two months to approve the document last time, why did it only take more than ten days to come back this time?

But when I opened the document, I saw that it was Tang Ning, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who severely reprimanded Chen Mu and Shi Jinchong.

In the letter, he scolded Shi Jinchong for being brainless, and at the same time scolded Chen Mu with a piggyback. In Chen Mu's own words, as a leader, if your subordinates make mistakes and you don't supervise effectively, you are also responsible. What's more, Chen Mu is also suspected of conniving and instigating his subordinates to insult and block the prison army.

Chen Mu asked Shi Jinchong to show the documents to Shi Jinchong of the copper mine, and punished him for plagiarizing three copies of the documents, and Chen Mu had to personally check the "homework" at that time.

It is said that after Shi Jinchong saw the letter, he scolded Tang Ning for being old and immortal, eating inside and out. Then he asked his secretary Lang to help copy the homework, and the matter was hasty.

Chen Mu pinched the homework of "Shi Jinchong" in his hand, and suddenly laughed: "It's also difficult for this secretary to deliberately imitate Shi Jinchong's handwriting and write crookedly." But in any case, it can be seen that this secretary Lang has been practicing calligraphy all year round, even if he writes indiscriminately, he is also a strong pen and penetrates the back of the paper. How can this be Shi Jinchong's word? ”

"This must be Wu Dong suing you from the Queen Mother." The lame man said in a deep voice.

Chen Mu snorted lightly: "What about suing." The Queen Mother now wants me to die, and it doesn't make sense for me to report criticism and fines. ”

The lame man lazily lay on Chen Mu's recliner: "Normally, you, the deputy general of the Anxi Army, should be taken down, since this matter is not mentioned in the letter, it means that Tang Qiong has spoken for you." ”

Chen Mu nodded.

The first is the latest.
