Chapter 769: Official Business and Gambling
Merton walked out of the palace and did not go to repair the bridge as soon as possible, but came to the back mountain of Xuandu Guan, and personally investigated the operation of the firearms supervisor, after all, he had been away for a month, and the firearms supervisor was very important, and there was no room for the slightest mistake.
"Don't worry, the firearms supervisor is all business as usual!" Seeing Merton appear in the firearms superintendent, Xue Rengui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, since Merton was on vacation, he had taken on the heavy responsibility of the safety of the firearms superintendent, and this month could be said to make him fearful, like sitting on pins and needles, and the strength of the patrol was several times stricter than usual.
Merton looked at the safe and sound firearms superintendent, and then looked at the progress of making gunpowder, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"The military academy raised by the DPRK is about to be completed, and this sacrificial wine has already given you a place, so you can report at that time." Merton said towards Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui is a famous general in later generations, and his future achievements are limitless, although because of Merton and his historical trajectory turned, but how could Merton selfishly keep him under his command, maybe the military academy is his best platform, and with the training of the military academy, he believes that Xue Rengui's achievements will shine more brightly than later generations.
Xue Rengui was immediately ecstatic when he heard this, and solemnly saluted: "Thank you for the sacrificial wine cultivation." ”
The recruit plan has long been rumored in the army, and the military academy is a place for training officers in the recruit plan, and there are even rumors that anyone who enters the military academy will be promoted to a higher rank as soon as he returns from his studies.
Xue Rengui couldn't be moved, but anyone knew such a good thing, and the disciples of the generals with backgrounds and backgrounds were probably already targeted, he Xue Rengui was a commoner's child, and he didn't have much expectations for a long time without a background and no background, but he didn't expect that Morton would give him such a big surprise as soon as he returned.
You must know that the recruit plan was proposed by Merton and Li Jing together, and since Merton said that he promised him, he naturally would not deceive him, and this matter must be nine times out of ten.
Merton waved his hand indifferently and said: "This is what you deserve, no matter what your future holds, you must remember that firearms are the strongest class of troops in the future." ”
"Subordinates obey!" Xue Rengui said solemnly.
After Merton made another round of the firearms superintendent, he left under Xue Rengui's grateful gaze.
After returning to Mofu, Fu Bo immediately stepped forward and came to report on Li Yun's repair of the bridge.
"Back to the young master, the location where Li Yun repaired the bridge is also Qujiang, the Qujiang Bridge built in Mojia Village is four miles away, there was no bridge repair there before, and it is very inconvenient for ordinary people, once the bridge is completed, the people on both sides of the strait will travel greatly conveniently, and Li Yun also has some skills but chose a good place."
Merton almost forgot about the bet with Li Yun, but Fauber kept it in mind and had already found out about Li Yun's condition.
Merton nodded, Li Yun can crack the principle of atmospheric pressure, naturally he is not an ordinary person, as for the gambling contract, it depends on the bridge is really repaired before it can really be seen.
"And Li Yun has already come to advance three thousand guan, and according to the young master's orders, he has already paid him in full." Fauber suddenly remembered this and reported it.
Li Yun has actually won the wealth of Wanguan, but he did not have his own selfishness, and took it all out to repair the bridge, so Mo Dun naturally would not be stingy, but directly ordered Mojia Village to pay this money at any time.
"Three thousand!" After Merton silently calculated, he couldn't help but sigh for a while: "In this way, the foundation of the bridge built by Li Yun has been completed!" ”
There are quite a lot of materials that can be bought with 3,000 yuan, and according to the process of repairing the bridge, the foundation of this bridge has probably been completed, and this most important step has been completed, and the rest is logical.
"What about the Qujiang Bridge that the Mo family majored in?" Merton frowned.
Fu Bo suddenly said with a bitter face: "Back to the young master, the young master is far away in Luoyang, and Mojia Village is only doing a good job in the peripheral work, and the foundations on both sides of the strait have not been built too much." ”
"So, Mojia Village is already too far behind?" Merton rubbed his brows in annoyance and said.
Fu Bo nodded solemnly, and looked at Merton with a worried face, you must know that repairing bridges is the strength of the Xiangfu family, and now Li Yun has an advantage in engineering, and Mojia Village is already at a disadvantage.
"It doesn't matter! Young Master Ben wants to go to Qujiang Bridge to take a look in person. "Princess Changle can't return home for a short time, and Merton has nothing to do, just to personally investigate the enemy's situation.
Qujiang River, is the largest river in Chang'an City, although the achievement of the beautiful scenery of Qujiang Pond Hibiscus Garden, but for the people on both sides, it is extremely inconvenient, coupled with the original bridge, in disrepair, there has long been an appeal to build a bridge.
In the middle of the Qujiang River, a huge construction site has risen from the ground, hundreds of workers are working in full swing, and Li Yun, who is dressed in white, is scolding Fang Yu in high spirits.
At his feet, the foundations of a bridge had just been built. This will be the first bridge he Li Yun majored in, and when he thought that the ambition in his heart was about to be realized, he couldn't help but feel proud.
"Young master, there is a letter from home, and I want the young master to go back as soon as possible." An old servant hurried with a letter.
Li Yun didn't look at it, and said proudly: "Tell the family, just say that I will naturally go back after repairing this bridge." ”
This bridge is not only the capital for him to defeat the Mo family, but also the place where he can show his ambitions, how can he give up easily.
When the old servant heard this result, he was not surprised, the young master had always wanted to preside over the repair of the bridge, but unfortunately he was soft-spoken, although he had participated in the construction of many bridges, but he did not have the opportunity to be in charge, and now he could finally show what he had learned.
Li Yun was in high spirits, looked at the workers who kept at his feet, and said in his heart: "I'm afraid this is the fastest bridge repair speed in the world!" ”
With a budget of 10,000 yuan in his hand, it can be said that he is extremely wealthy, and with the support of sufficient money and food, Li Yun's speed of repairing the bridge can be said to be quite fast, and the quality and quantity are guaranteed.
"Although the Mo family is arrogant, he has one advantage, that is, he keeps his promises, as long as he needs money and food to build a bridge, Mojia Village will pay the money unconditionally, and there will be no delay at all." Li Yun looked at the advancing construction period, and couldn't help but feel a little more good for Murton, but then put this idea behind him, Morton leaked the secret skills of the Mo family without authorization, changed the concept of the Mo family, he was a sinner of the Mo family, how could he be grateful to him!
Suddenly, Li Yun's eyes swept away, and he couldn't help but be stunned, I don't know when, a four-wheeled carriage was already parked on the side of the road, the window was open, and a familiar figure was staring at the bridge repair site, who was it not Merton?
Next to the Mo family is a familiar figure of Fu Bo, Li Yun has been to the Mo family village several times to pay money, and he is very impressed by this kind old man of the Mo family, so he naturally will not admit his mistake.
"Mo Jiazi!"
Li Yun couldn't help but be stunned, he knew that the honeymoon trip of the Mo family, even if he was in Chang'an City, was a sensation, even if he was a man, he couldn't help but eat a wave of dog food.
Of course, this was not enough to make him soft-hearted, but he continued to work overtime mercilessly, turning all the resentment of eating dog food into motivation, and making full efforts to repair the bridge, which is the speed of this bridge.
