Relying on Han Gang's prestige among the Tibetan people, SF Express has made a lot of money over the years, and Feng Congyi has a net worth of more than 100,000 yuan. Coupled with the cotton cloth workshop, the wealth gradually accumulated by the Han family is enough to support the lavish expenses of Han Gang and Li Xin, the children of officials who are outside the country.

Especially Li Xin, he was promoted faster than Han Gang, and he even had a knighthood, which was the first baron of the founding county that Han Gang refused. Civil officials have to be at the level of Shaoqing Supervisor, who generally has to be the sixth grade, and the military generals are knighted from the deputy envoy of the palace of the seventh grade. Li Xin now happens to be the last deputy envoy of the palace department, and he has the title.

Li Xin's rise so fast in Jingnan was mainly due to military merits. He is the number one general under Zhang Dian and Liu Zhongwu's name, and every time he rushes to the front, he makes one of the best contributions. A general, if he takes the lead in a big battle, is directly seven turns and three officials, and one jump is several levels. The speed of his promotion cannot be compared with that of civil officials. From the small envoy of the ninth grade to the deputy envoy of the seventh grade palace, Li Xin only took three years.

Han Gang hoped that Li Xin could continue to advance in the army, so he didn't want him to make any mistakes financially. In addition, Wang Sunchen, Zhao Long, and their close friends, Han Gang all have funding.

He will make money, and he will spend money even more.

"Speaking of Cousin Xin, my uncle wrote a few days ago that Cousin Xin had two concubines in Jingnan, one of whom was pregnant, so my uncle can rest assured."

Han Gang nodded, Li Xin also mentioned this matter in the letter he wrote, but it was not a big deal, just remember to give a gift at that time. He asked, "Is my uncle's health okay?" ”

"Uncle is very tough, and Lao Feng Weng is doing it. Now in Fengxiang City, who doesn't respect him? When passing Fengxiang, the younger brother also went around to the state city to meet and gave the gifts of his uncle and aunt. I have been saying that I want to move to Longxi, just to guard my grandfather's tomb, and it is not easy to move. ”

Speaking of the grave, Han Gang remembered something: "Have you seen the grave of the fourth aunt?" Is there any damage to the grave soil? ”

"No, no," Feng Congyi shook his head, "Uncle has been staring, and the tomb and tombstone have been rebuilt. ”

"How are your three brothers doing?" After leaving Fengxiang Mansion that year, Han Gang never asked the third son of the Feng family who was sent to prison by him, thinking that he would not be released from the prison without being knocked out of the bones.

"The remains of my mother's relatives have been examined, and there are no poisonous spots or external injuries. So two years ago, the younger brother bought more than 100 acres of land and asked them to guard his father's grave. Feng Congyi said in a hurry, for fear of causing Han Gang to be unhappy.

"Done right." Han Gang nodded, "No matter what, it's your brother." Since the matter of the fourth aunt has nothing to do with them, there is no need to kill them all, and it is also a good thing to leave a way back. ”

With Han Gang's approval, Feng Congyi relaxed and said gratefully: "Thanks to my cousin, otherwise my younger brother would not have today." ”

"You've been kicked out of the house, can you sit back and watch as a brother? Don't talk to a family. ”

Feng Congyi nodded heavily, sighed a few times, and let go of the knot in his heart. turned his head around, as if he remembered something: "By the way, when the younger brother came out of Luoyang the day before yesterday, he met Guo Xianggong, but he didn't dare to go up to talk." Seeing that he was in a hurry to go to Tokyo, could it be that he was going to be transferred? ”

"Is it Guo Kui?" Seeing Feng Congyi nodding, Han Gang said, "Guo Kui is going to be transferred to Taiyuan Mansion." Although the land has been cut, the Khitans are satisfied. But it is still necessary to prevent them from plotting against misdeeds and causing trouble again. With Guo Kui sitting in Taiyuan, Kaifeng can feel at ease. Not only that, but he is also going back to Yanyanlu, staring at the party members. ”

"Could it be that this time you really cut seven hundred miles of land?!" Feng Congyi immediately leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

"Seven hundred miles south from Daizhou, we are almost on the edge of the Yellow River. Do you say there are 700 miles? Han Gang asked with a smile.

"Sure enough." Feng Congyi clapped his hands, "I'll just say it's impossible." also made a bet with the fourth brother of the Lin family and gambled on a fifty-pound burning knife. ”

"I'm afraid you're going to lose." Han Gang smiled, his smile was cold: "Actually, it depends on how these seven hundred miles are calculated." Although the border was only a few miles back to the south, to the watershed. However, the border between Song and Liao is long, and if the land area is calculated, it is indeed 700 li. ”

Feng Congyi nodded: "If it's just these seven hundred miles, it's not bad, if you lose, you lose." ”

"Okay?!" Han Gang's face suddenly showed anger: "The land cannot be made by people, and even the Huns know about this matter." The Khitan obtained 700 miles of land with a single blackmail, which was a humiliation for our courtiers. ”

Feng Congyi was taken aback, looked at Han Gang, and asked cautiously: "My cousin abandoned the Chinese book and went to the ordnance prison instead, do you have this in mind?" ”

Han Gang sighed: "There is also a reason for this. He smiled, "I'm going to take up my post tomorrow in the Ordnance Superintendent, and I don't know what kind of reception banquet the officials in the Ordnance Superintendent have prepared for me." ”

……………………

The ordnance supervisor yamen is located in the Xingguofang, the first compartment of the right army in the old city.

Since the beginning of the former dynasty and the later Zhou period, Xingguofang, which is located near the left side of the imperial city, is the place where the forbidden army was built. The fang area is now divided into two workshops in the east and west, with 51 workshops under it. Such as gunpowder, green kiln, fierce fire oil, gold, fire, large and small wood, large and small furnaces, leather, hemp, kiln and so on. In the words of later generations, the group company was divided into two branches, and 51 factories were set up below, each of which was responsible for the manufacture of different ordnance equipment and parts.

"The main frame of the thunderbolt cannon and sleigh is made of large and small wood, the iron nails are made of gold, the rope is made of rope, and the lacquer is painted, and the decoration is painted with paintings." The ordnance supervisor Cheng Bai Zhang led Han Gang through the alleys of Xingguofang, and in the surrounding courtyards, the sound of axes and saws and grinding was endless, and they had to keep their voices loud to hear each other's words.

After listening to Bai Zhang's introduction, Han Gang felt that this should be regarded as a division of labor and cooperation, producing different parts and components one by one, and then assembling them.

"With so many workshops involved, there won't be anything wrong with the weapons made?"

"Just in order to make the world's armor sharp and sophisticated, that's why there is today's ordnance supervisor, how can there be mistakes?" Bai Zhang said proudly, "In the past, there was no ordnance superintendent, and when the East and West Second Workshop was still part of the Third Division, the sword was extremely brittle, and the bow and crossbow were folded. But since Lu Dashen and Zeng Bachelor began to take charge of the weapons superintendent, it only took one year, and they were all complete. ”

Bai Zhang suddenly stopped, pointed to a compound on the left-hand side, the sound of clanging thrashing continued to come out from inside, and there was a circle of forbidden guards in front of the door, which was heavily guarded, "This is a horse chopping knife bureau, specializing in the manufacture of horse chopping broadswords." Today, the Kansai border army uses a broadsword that is made in this. ”

Han Gang walked in with Bai Zhang, watching him just make the big knife from the craftsman's hand. The heavy blade has a three-foot blade, a one-foot-long hilt, and an iron ring inlaid under the handle. With a slight wave of his hands, he whistled. Bai Chang showed the knife to Han Gang, "I can really cut off the horse." ”

Han Gang said to Zhang Dian that he wanted Xiao Gui Cao to follow, but it didn't mean that he would ignore all the things in prison, always take a look, take a look, if there is really something wrong, you have to have a number in your heart.

However, after walking around, Han Gang really admired Lu Huiqing a little, he could arrange the military weapons up and down in an orderly manner, no wonder he was able to create a high-quality weapon in a short time, making it difficult for him to pick a thorn. And seeing Bai Zhang's speech, full of pride in his current work, even if he wants to improve the system of the ordnance superintendent, I am afraid it will not be so easy, and he will inevitably be greatly resisted.

Back in the yamen, Zeng Xiaokuan was drinking tea slowly.

Although he was also sentenced to the Privy Council, his main work was in the Privy Council. Tsang Hsiao-kuan is holding the position of Privy Councillor and will soon be promoted to a Privy Councillor - also because he is in charge of the new law. is no better than Han Gang is a full-time weapons supervisor. Although he has to overpower Han Gang in terms of ranking, he still has to be Han Gang to actually preside over the work of the prison.

Seeing Han Gang recently, he smiled and asked, "Yukun, how is it?" ”

"Participating in politics and inheriting all kinds of things in prison make it easier for Han Gang to do nothing, and he can sit back and enjoy it."

Zeng Xiaokuan said with a smile: "When Lu Jifu was still in the Ordnance Prison, he had already begun to compile and revise the "Ordnance French Style" as the standard for ordnance manufacturing. At present, 110 volumes have been revised, including 1 volume of "Identification of Materials", 74 volumes of "Weapons", 21 volumes of "Miscellaneous Things", 4 volumes of "Miscellaneous Things", and 10 volumes of "Addition and Repair" and "Making Bows and Crossbows". If Yukun has leisure, he can take it for a look, but he must not pass it on. ”

"It's nature." Han Gang nodded, turned to the subordinates of the Yazhong listed in the hall and said, "Everything in the prison system is the same as before, Wang'er and the others are diligent and cautious, and follow it as before. ”

Bai Chang led the bow down. Zeng Xiaokuan smiled slightly, and Han Gang was also laughing.

For the next period of time, Han Gang did not interfere with anything, and every day after going to the court, he went to work on time in the ordnance superintendent, and in the evening, he got off work on time, and his calm actions made many people who wanted to watch a good show feel disappointed.

It's just that Lu Huiqing knows Han Gang's personality, and he knows that his silence at this time must mean that he is ready to make a splash. Therefore, the more there is no movement in the ordnance supervisor, the more bottomless Lu Huiqing's heart is. He was thinking about how to deal with Feng Jing now, and he definitely didn't want to have a fire behind him at this time.

"The bird will strike, and the wings will be low; The beast will fight, and the ears will fall down. Han Yukun's plan is not small. ”

"Han Gang is only supervising day by day now, why should Ji Fu be so worried. If there is real movement, it is not too late to pay attention to it. ”

Although Zhang Dian said this in front of Lu Huiqing, he was worried about Han Gang in his heart. Han Gang didn't get along with Lu Huiqing, and there was no movement at all, which was a good thing for Lu Huiqing, but Han Gang himself was not easy to do, and the Son of Heaven was waiting for his return.
