Chapter 61: The Lion Opens His Mouth

Besides, he was slaughtered again, but this time it was lighter, not because these people were soft-hearted, but because the price of this restaurant was much lower than the last time, and it only cost five hundred taels of silver.

Besides, he didn't intend to bribe these executioners, so he didn't give them any credit.

When he returned to the yamen, he saw a luxurious carriage parked outside, surrounded by some sturdy wrestlers, each armed with sticks.

"Besides, my lord is full of wine and food, but our family is here to drink the northwest wind." Out of the car came a man in a python robe, not tall, with a white face and beard, and his hands were caged in his sleeves.

"Who are you?" Besides, I don't know this person, but I know that this is a eunuch in the inner court.

"Our family is Zhang Whale, the master of ceremonies, we haven't seen it, but our family has admired the reputation of the adults for a long time." The person who came said in a non-yin and non-yang manner.

He didn't mean to make a tone, the eunuch basically had this voice.

But besides, he didn't smell any rancid smell from these eunuchs, he stayed with Huang Jin for a long time, and he didn't feel any strange smell on the eunuchs, and later understood that he had read too many ancient novels and was fooled by that imaginary hero.

In fact, if you think about it, if the eunuch has a bad smell, how can the emperor stand it? There were nearly 10,000 eunuchs coming and going in the palace.

Except for the mutation of the voice and the absence of a beard, the eunuch is no different from normal people, and later generations say that they often have a distorted psychology and character, and they don't find it, but they feel that the people he comes into contact with are normal, and the sun can't talk about it, at least there is still righteousness.

He didn't want to rehabilitate the eunuchs, he didn't like the eunuchs, not that he hated them, but that he felt pitiful, and from the doctor's point of view, he sympathized with them very much. The inhuman suffering suffered by the eunuchs, and the psychological variation that resulted from it, is understandable, and the fault is not for them.

However, the eunuchs he came into contact with were quite normal, at least they had a strong psychological self-repair function, and the impression left on him was not too bad.

"My lord, then I would like you to have something to eat first." Besides, he said courteously to the other party.

He is nominally under the direct management of the emperor, but in fact, he is under the management of the celebrant and the celebrant superintendent, how can the emperor have so much time to pay attention to his affairs.

Thinking about this, he didn't dare to snub the eunuch at all, and would rather be good than offended, this is his philosophy of life.

"No need, the palm print eunuch is urging tightly, saying that the Lord of Long Live has spoken, our family will quickly complete the handover with you, and then return to the palace to resume his life."

Zhang Whale said, took out a large piece of yellow paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Besides, this is the first batch of things, which is basically enough for you to use now.

Besides, looking at the words on the yellow paper, there is no format, just a list of goods listed in a row.

At the beginning is a variety of office supplies, and they are all indicated to be royal supplies, the worst is also rosewood, beds and bedding are readily available.

Besides, I wondered, the emperor was urging himself to work overtime and stay up late? Why don't you even have enough bedding?

When he saw the next line, he was a little in a daze, it was actually ten royal horses.

"My lord, isn't there too few horses, only ten." Besides, he asked.

"Oh, this is a personal gift from the emperor, and when you have a hand in the future, you will have as many horses as you want, but they are all ordinary military horses, by the way, can you ride a horse?" Zhang Whale asked.

"No, it won't." Besides, answer honestly.

"Then you hurry up and learn, in the future, you may have to lead troops to fight with people, how can you do it if you don't know how to ride a horse, in case you lose the battle, you have to run fast when you run for your life, right?"

"My lord, are you encouraging me or beating me, I haven't officially opened here, so you tell me about the defeat of the army."

"I'm telling you the truth, boy, remember, it's always the most important thing to save your life, understand." Zhang Whale said coldly.

"Well, that's what I listen to you."

Seeing those four treasures of the study, he couldn't help but light up his eyes, and said, "My lord, bring me another hundred sets of these pen, ink, paper, and inkstones." ”

"Boy, you think it's cabbage, just open your mouth for a hundred sets, tell you, the emperor uses these, and the celebrant uses these things, do you think these things grow in the palace." Zhang Whale sneered.

"My lord, I will be busy with military affairs here in the future, and this bit of stationery is not enough at all, and the amount of paper is even more insufficient, and I have to add a thousand catties. In addition, I had to bring in another 500 brushes. Besides.

Zhang Whale jumped to his feet angrily: "You still want to paint, the emperor asked you to train here to become an army, but you didn't ask you to paint." ”

"My lord misunderstood, I didn't draw the wind and snow, but the battle map."

"The map is ready-made." Zhang Whale scolded him stiffly.

"Those don't work, there are no details such as mountains, rivers and villages, and when you really want to use them, you have to draw a map by hand." Besides.

"Okay, even if you kid is reasonable, if it's really useful, let alone five hundred, even five thousand is fine." Zhang Whale had no choice but to agree.

He wasn't stingy, but he was almost mad.

The emperor trusts him so much that he doesn't hesitate to pay out of his own pocket to let him do things, this kid is still worried about the wind and snow, and he has nothing to do with painting and playing, as for drawing maps or something, he doesn't believe it at all.

Besides, these are intentional, his favorite is the pen and ink inkstone used by the palace emperor, thinking that Zhou Ding became an inkstone for Emperor Jiajing, and he fought for his life, he had the opportunity not to be heavy-handed, but after this village, there was no such shop.

Not only does she need a brush or something, but she can also give it to Tang Bohu, Shen Zhou, and Wen Zhengming, it doesn't matter what the brush is, she can apply for it at any time anyway.

These things are difficult to buy outside, they are specially supervised by the imperial court, and they are not sold to the outside world, and it is difficult to buy them even if you have money.

Besides, he continued to look at the list, and asked for more if he liked it, and had the cheekiness to fight the famine with Zhang Whale.

Zhang Whale blew his chin angrily and stared, he had no beard, so he could only blow his chin. But there is no way, the emperor has explained, and what you need is given, as long as it does not exceed the total budget.

"Boy, you have to be scared, anyway, even if you have to be scared for half a year, you can go to heaven, but after half a year, if you can't get any results, how do you want to die." Zhang Whale sneered.

"My lord, death is like a lamp going out, what is the big deal about dying once." And shrugged.

"Boy, it's not easy to die, if you want to die cleanly and not affect your family, there are not many ways."

After speaking, Zhang Whale turned around and boarded the carriage and left, staying for a while, his stomach had to explode.

I've seen angry people, but I've never seen such angry people.

Besides, with an indifferent smile, his endurance has increased a lot now, and Zhang Whale's threatening words have no effect.

But he also wondered, what is the emperor going to do?

Before he officially started, the emperor sent someone to test first, and then used various methods to blow and destroy his heart, is this to urge him to speed up his work, or do you want to break him psychologically first?

"The emperor is really generous, those inkstones?" Zhou Dingcheng thought about the hundred inkstones he wanted, and the saliva water flowed to the ground.

"It's okay to be a little promising, you can pick any inkstone when it arrives, and there is no limit to the number. In the future, we will also be big shots, what the emperor uses, we will use. And he smirked.

"Yes, but the time is only half a year, how will it end then?" Zhou Dingcheng shook his head and said.

"Can you not mention this stubble?" Besides, there is no good airway.

"And firearms up there? The emperor asked you to set up a firearms battalion? Zhou Dingcheng was shocked.

Besides, when he was bargaining with Zhang Whale just now, Zhou Dingcheng didn't dare to come closer, and he was far away, and only then did he see all kinds of items on the list.

"What are firearms, and artillery. However, you can only receive it after you become an army, and now you can only watch. There are also five clippers, but they have to be picked up from the Fujian sailors. Besides, he pointed to a few lines of words.

"This is not bad, aren't you worried that you have no money to build a ship, the emperor gave it to you directly." Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"Two different things, this is what the emperor asked me to use to fight pirates, and I have to return it to the Fujian Navy Master after using it. Use and take now. In the future, I have to think of building my own ship. ”

"But in this case, you still have to build a naval army, where can you find these people?" Zhou Dingcheng was worried.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is no endless road." Besides, I can only comfort myself like this now.

Besides, these items have been put into the warehouse before they come back, and what they got is only a key to the warehouse, and he has no one in his hand now, so the warehouse is guarded by Liu Shouyou, but Liu Shouyou's people are only guarded, but they can't enter, and now he is the only one who can enter the warehouse.

As for the funds, the emperor allocated 40,000 taels of silver as the start-up funds, and the cost of recruiting training personnel in the future needs to be budgeted first, and then reported to the celebrant for approval before the silver can be obtained.

"Stingy, only 40,000 taels of silver." Zhou Dingcheng muttered.

"It's a lot, the emperor's family has a big business, but there are also many people, and there are more than 10,000 eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, not all of whom are raised by the emperor himself, not to mention that these people are not soft at all when they rub the emperor's oil, and they are more ruthless than Lord Liu's executioner."

This first batch of items is really a lot, involving all aspects, including strong crossbows, hard crossbows, bows and arrows, armor, horses are to be collected at the military horse farm, swords, guns, swords and halberds are also available, of course, there are also flying fish clothes embroidered spring knives These brocade guards are indispensable.

At the back of the yellow paper, he listed the establishment of the sixth guard, with two commanders and two commanders, five thousand households, fifty hundred households, and the rest of the general flag and small flag school captain Lux are not limited.

It stands to reason that this is a great thing, and if these places are auctioned publicly, they can make a lot of money, of course, they can't do this, so they are openly selling their official beards.

But accepting bribes by recruiting people is also the main way for officials to get rich, and he didn't even think about it, he didn't lack silver, what he lacked was real talent, not to mention cash, he would rather spend a lot of money to hire useful people, as long as they had the confidence and perseverance to follow him and do something new.

Besides, he made up his mind that among the people recruited, he must have both ability and political integrity, and virtue is put in the first place, and he has a new definition of virtue, that is, finally the career and ideals in his heart.
