Chapter 44: The Good Life (32)
Two consecutive drunkenness made Zheng Yu, who woke up, have a splitting headache, poured a big bowl of sobering soup, leaned on the side of the bed for a while, and the discomfort was reduced.
Liu Bao walked in from outside the door with a piece of paper in his hand, saw Zheng Yu awake, and asked with concern: "Master, are you okay?" It doesn't look very good, why don't I go find a doctor? Zheng Yu waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. Liu Bao continued.
"The owner, this is what the yamen just sent to you, I heard that you haven't woken up yet, and the public who came here put down this and left, you can take a look." As he spoke, he raised the paper in his hand.
Zheng Yu took it and rubbed his head, which was still a little dizzy, and looked at it with a strong spirit. It was an approval issued by the Ministry of War, which gave Zheng Yu's bodyguard team the establishment of a militia group, allowing Zheng Yu's bodyguard bureau to increase the upper limit of armed personnel from 150 to 500, and the equipment was not restricted, but any bodyguards or other paramilitary operations needed to be reported to the local government.
The more Zheng Yu watched it, the more excited he became, and his physical state had returned to normal when he finished watching it, and he even began to walk back and forth on the ground excitedly. This document means that you can develop the game openly in the future. Weapons and armor, and even a team of bodyguards in the nature of a private army no longer need to be hidden. In this way, the use of powerful and effective force can beat the reputation of Tianxiong Dart Game in a short time, and it is a big step closer to his ideal plan.
Who's this? Did his second uncle exert his strength suddenly, or did Huang Gongzi use his family's network? The Ministry of War issued a document, this is likely to be the relationship between his second uncle, no matter what, the two of them are friends to make, and they must be grateful if they find an opportunity in the future. The most important thing now is to get back to the lodge as soon as possible and arrange the next step. Thinking of this, he immediately said.
"Liu Bao, hurry up and pack up your things and prepare your horses, and let's go back to the villa." Ying'er, you also go and pack your things, the accommodation in the villa has been completed, you go and take a look, live over there first. Feel free to come back whenever you want. The two of them nodded and turned away.
Five days later, the Early Dynasty, the Imperial Palace, the Golden Luan Palace.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the idea that this temperature change may cause a catastrophe and then a war has been discussed for several days, do you have any conclusions?"
There was a burst of voices from the ministers to each other, most of them questioning the idea. When the noise gradually quieted down, Wang Qi, the first assistant of the cabinet, stepped forward, leaned over and spoke.
"Your Majesty, according to the changes in temperature submitted by Qin Tianjian in recent years, it is indeed declining every year, and the winter is getting colder and colder than in previous years. However, if you want to cause a disaster because of this, the possibility is still very small. Even if there is a disaster such as a snow disaster, as long as the harvest of grain in autumn is guaranteed, it will not have a great impact on my Daming. But the impact on the Mongolian and Jin kingdoms in the steppe was fatal. In order to survive, it is inevitable that the two countries will attack each other. At that time, we only need to guard the major passes of the Great Wall and not give the two countries a chance to take advantage of it, so that we can protect ourselves. At the same time, when the two countries are exhausted, they can also reap the benefits of fishermen. So why worry about anything else? ”
After listening to Wang Qi's words, there were many ministers who seconded the proposal. As a military strategist, Tang Wentong has to think more and see farther than other ministers here. I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, but I can't say it. When he had no strong evidence to convince everyone, he chose to remain silent.
Zhu Zuochang frowned and fell into deep thought. According to what Wang Qi said, the worry now is indeed superfluous. But he believes that with Zheng Yu's insight and talent, he will not talk about this kind of thing, so where did he come to the conclusion? It seems that the bell must be tied to the bell, so find an opportunity to ask him in person.
"Wang Qing is reasonable, then this matter will be like this first." Wang Qi saluted and returned to the court, and Zhu Zuochang continued.
"Tang Aiqing, what has your nephew Tang Zhangjing been doing lately?"
Tang Wentong heard the emperor call him, hurriedly stepped forward and replied with a salute.
"Back to Your Majesty, the foolish nephew was punished by his brother after he was drunk last time, and he was grounded for a month, and now he is studying at home every day."
Tang Wentong was beating the drum in his heart after answering, why did the emperor suddenly ask this? The abrupt behavior of the three people on the day of drunkenness is indeed enough to ask for guilt, this is to settle accounts after the autumn? The ministers who didn't understand the situation were also asked by the emperor, why did the emperor care about the son of a businessman?
"I remember that he already has a reputation for talent, right? You're going to take the township exam this year, right? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, so the grounding is on the one hand so that he can concentrate on his studies." The emperor suddenly asked why this is the reason? Is it to break off an abrupt career? Tang Wentong beat the drum in his heart.
"In my opinion, this grounding is not necessary. I still have some understanding of this abruptness, and with his talent and learning, he should be on the township test list. I gave him a palace to walk, and after that, every day after the morning court, he came to the study room to accompany me to study, so it was decided, retreat"
"Buzz ....." There was another surprised noise in the class, what kind of luck did this suddenness hit? To get such an honor from the emperor? The emperor said that he was on the list of other places, so who would dare to let him fall off the list? Isn't it because the emperor doesn't know anyone if he falls off the list? Who would dare to bear the responsibility of losing their heads? This is the fame that is directly given! Moreover, he walked in the palace with a show of talent and fame, and accompanied the Son of Heaven to study! This shows that as long as you are decent in the future and do not make big mistakes, you will inevitably have prosperous official fortunes and soar in the future. It seems that this Tang family is about to develop! At this time, the eyes of the ministers looking at Tang Wentong changed.
Tang Wentong was even more shocked, did his nephew eat shit directly? After a big drunk, don't smash the pie from the sky! Unexpectedly, the emperor is so important! didn't have time to think about it, and the three rings of "dong dong dong" knocked their heads on the ground to thank the emperor.
The extensive application of concrete has made the infrastructure construction of the villa progressing rapidly. At this time, the old appearance of Tianxiong Villa has been renewed, and there are many new changes compared to before. The road in Shonai has been fully hardened, and there are public restrooms at intervals, and two large public baths have been built. With the newly promulgated hygiene management regulations and ubiquitous inspectors, the whole Zhuangzi will no longer be the scene of sewage flowing and stinking in the past. The villagers and the workers from outside the village were also neatly dressed and clean. The operation of the factory and the construction of Zhuangzi have brought a large number of employment opportunities, making the surrounding villagers flock to the village, and the relatively high income has made everyone's face full of happy smiles.
The new village wall is still under construction, but the barracks of the bodyguard team have been erected. In order to be able to respond quickly to emergencies, the barracks were placed next to the new industrial area. At this time, in the camp, the newly recruited team members are training in full swing under the leadership of the old players.
Black smoke billows from the huge chimneys of the steel mills, and the molten steel from the furnaces is injected directly into the molds, formed and cooled, and then sent to the tool factory and the ordnance factory for further processing. A highly efficient agricultural implement, a sharp blade is constantly produced, and then sealed and stored.
The original open space in the middle of Zhuangzi has been hardened and transformed into a central square for people to relax and gather. On one side of the square is the only three-storey building in the lodge, which occupies a large area and is magnificently built. This is Zheng Yu's residence and the official office of the villa, the first floor is the service hall for the villagers, the second floor is the office area for the management personnel, and the third floor is Zheng Yu's residence.
In the conference room set up on the second floor, Zheng Yu, Zheng Xing, Zheng Tai, Gou Chuanxin, Wang Ying, Master Liu and other stewards in the villa gathered together. Now, everyone's role is very clear, and Gou Chuanxin is in charge of all things in the villa. Zheng Xing is in charge of people's livelihood and the construction of the villa, and at the same time leads a team of people to maintain law and order internally. Zheng Tai is in charge of ordnance and the affairs of the dart bureau, and the next step is to lead a team of men and horses to be stationed in the city's dart bureau, and Wang Ying is in charge of the training of the bodyguard team and future combat missions. Master Liu is in charge of the production of the entire industrial zone, and at the same time takes care of the research work. The other masters are in charge of their own factories. Zheng Yu also ingeniously brought the political commissar system of the army of the later dynasty into the bodyguard team and set up the post of instructor.
At this time, Zheng Yu sat leisurely on the main seat, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, listening thoughtfully to Gou Chuanxin's report, and Zheng Ying was responsible for serving tea and pouring water for everyone.
