Chen Mu said in a sad mood: "Zhang Han, if you go to spread the news, just say that you want to take slaves, as many as you want, regardless of men and women, regardless of old and young, everything will be collected." Remember, don't overprice, and be clear about the price. Otherwise, it will disrupt the market and be even more troublesome. ”

"Whoa."

Zhang Han turned around and left, and Hanxiang walked over lightly and said, "Uncle, the more you are like this, the more fierce the business becomes." ”

Chen Mu nodded and said, "I know." But I don't buy it, there are slaves starving to death every day in Dunhuang City, and I, as a parent official, can't bear it. In addition, I don't lose money when I buy them. Men can join the fan soldier sequence, and women are sent to the textile factory. In this way, it is better to do the work of confidentiality. And the wages are also low. Although there are many child laborers, which is very unkind, it is better than starvation. ”

Hanxiang didn't say much, but took a document, and her face was difficult.

Chen Mu signaled that Hanxiang didn't have to be embarrassed, just say it.

"The above table applied for the king, but the paperwork was returned when it arrived at the Ministry of Rites, and there were bad comments." Hanxiang said with an embarrassed face: "The comments are very unbearable, so don't read it." ”

"Read."

"The ...... that is hard to pronounce"

"It's okay, you read."

Hanxiang pursed her lips, pulled out the reply document of the Ministry of Rites, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Meng Ding, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said that you are not ashamed to boast of your own merits, and you are shameless to covet the prince, which is against virtue and ethics, and you will be dismissed today, and you are not allowed to express it again, otherwise you will be severely punished." ”

Chen Muyi smiled and said: "Since the Ministry of Rites doesn't work, then go to the Ministry of War, just say that the border pass is urgent, and go straight to the emperor's imperial study." ”

Hanxiang wanted to persuade Chen Mu to say a few words, but when she saw Chen Mu's resolute attitude, she withdrew again.

As soon as I went out, I saw Xiaomei coming in with a stack of financial statements, with a happy face.

Hanxiang reminded: "The general may not be in a good mood. ”

Xiaomei said: "Then I'll come back in the afternoon." ”

Xiaomei was just about to leave, when she heard Chen Mu shouting in the house: "Xiaomei come in!" ”

Xiaomei shrugged her shoulders and smiled silently.

"Last month, all revenues were increasing, even the income of car manufacturers was increasing." As soon as Xiaomei walked into the house, she said something.

Chen Mu waved his hand and motioned for Xiaomei to sit down.

The girl is slim and elegant, loves accessories, and makes a ring dingling, Chen Muda heard it from afar, didn't read the report, but chatted with Xiaomei.

Chen Mu plans to let Xiaomei be the secretary of the "Special Supervision Office", and replace Hanxiang to inspect the work everywhere, especially the special management office, which is the top priority.

Xiaomei said that Han Jianniang was not easy to deal with, so she went to check on her for fear of causing disputes.

Based on Xiaomei's words alone, Chen Mu felt that he had found the wrong person, so he asked Xiaomei to continue to do his old job, and called the old secretary Lang Qin Qingquan and Li Shan, who was not smiling at any time.

"Now Li Shan is still a third-level secretary, right?"

"Yes, General." Li Shan said respectfully.

"Then Qin Qingquan, are you the second-level secretary?"

"Yes, yes." Qin Qingquan smiled respectfully.

"From today on, Qin Qingquan will be the head of the Special Supervision Office and the first-level secretary. Li Shan is the deputy director of the Special Supervision Office and the second-level secretary. Lao Qin, you don't have to come forward usually, just let Li Shan go out to check all kinds of accounts, if Li Shan can't solve it, you can come forward again. How's that, can it be done well? ”

"How dare you not do your best when a general is raised." Qin Qingquan immediately straightened up.

"Hehe, okay."

The people prayed that the east wind would not blow, otherwise the scorched yellow smoke would drift into the west city with the wind and fall on the roofs, courtyards, and women's clothes.

Inadvertently, people have already called the old city the west city, and at this time, the outline of the east city has begun to take shape, and the construction of the city wall is in progress.

The construction of the city walls was slow, and the main reason for the speed restriction was the transportation of stones.

Chen Mu came to the secret sapper factory with a drawing, this time the drawings he brought looked complicated, but it was the most bottomless drawing in his heart. He told the sappers to develop a steam engine.

The theory is relatively simple, but the development and manufacturing is not so easy, Chen Mu does not know much about the metal process, and feels that there are bottlenecks everywhere, Chen Mu feels that the success of research and development within three years is considered fast.

Therefore, Chen Mu was not in a hurry, but only sent ten craftsmen to concentrate on research, while the stone transportation on the other side of the city wall still relied on animal power.

I once asked the sappers to look for soil suitable for making bricks, but after searching for more than two months, they finally found clay, but the distance was relatively long, and it took a day to transport it once.

But even so, it was still more convenient than transporting stones, so the brick factory was born.

Chen Mu was busy all day long, running around, accompanied by Zhang Han and Zhong Lixiang, but Hanxiang felt a little cold.

Especially when I saw Zhong Lixiang's white camel, I was even more envious. Xiaomei ran over to Hanxiang and said that the white camel is worshipped as a sacred object by some herdsmen tribes, such as the people of the Gulan country, who have to kneel down and salute when they see the white camel. but was ridden under him by the shameless woman.

Hanxiang said, we are not Gulan here, you should chew the root of your tongue less. I told the general not to let Zhongli ride a white camel to Quran.

Xiaomei said that Hanxiang was too stupid. Hanxiang was silent but silent.

Seeing that Chen Mu's clothes were a little thin, Hanxiang stayed up late at night to make sweaters for Chen Mu, but when he gave it to Chen Mu, he found that the weaving was small.

"Uncle looks quite thin, but I didn't expect to be able to support clothes so much." Hanxiang smiled shamefully.

Chen Muhan said with a smile: "It's all my fault that I have gained weight and wasted your hard work." ”

"If it doesn't matter, I'll change it again." Hanxiang said with a red face.

Chen Mu waved his hand: "No need, knitting sweaters is too hard, I have been watching you lose your energy recently, don't exhaust yourself." Oh yes, I asked Yuan Hong to keep an eye out for the white foal for you when she bought the horse. Now I finally bought it, but it's a little smaller, and I can't ride it yet. ”

Hanxiang surprise: "Where?" ”

Chen Mu smiled: "It's tied to the gate." ”

Han Xiang smiled and said embarrassedly: "It's a pity that I don't dare to ride a horse." ”

Chen Mu waved his hand and said: "The big dog is psychic, raised since childhood, and is intimate with you, and will ride it in the future to ensure that it does not deceive you." ”

Hanxiang suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh yes, my uncle promised to arrange an eight-grade official for Yuan Hong's son, but I don't know if my uncle has arranged it." ”

Chen Mu patted his head and said, "You really forgot about it if you didn't remind me." When I met Yuan Hong, I just happened to talk about it. I'll write a letter to Childe first, and see what kind of official position Childe can arrange for him. If Gongzi doesn't make arrangements, I will let him come to Dunhuang. ”

Chen Mu picked up the pen and brushed a little bit.

Hanka couldn't wait to run out to see the white horse, but when she saw the foal, she was not very satisfied, because the horse was not white, but light yellow. Horses are small, smaller than donkeys. It also doesn't look very human, as soon as it gets close to it, it looks up vigilantly, and even turns around and tries to kick people with its hind hooves.

At this time, Yuan Hong walked over, seemed to see the girl's thoughts, and laughed: "Baima was yellow when he was a child, just change his hair twice." It had just left the mare, so it was scared to see anything. You will be familiar with it in the future. ”

The first is the latest.
