Chapter 152: Begging for gunpowder
At this time, the old man Gao Di saw that the steward came to report again, thinking that it was still a certain adult who came to give gifts, he was a little impatient and said: "Didn't the old man take care of anyone and never see him?" What are you doing here? ”
"Master, there is a person at the door who is not a gift, he said that it is an old acquaintance of the old master Jingshi, and Huang Sheng is a scholar of Guangning Mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Huang Sheng, the son of Guangning, oh! It's him, please come in. ”
Gao Di knew Huang Sheng, a talented man who was already a household name in Beijing, and was one of the most talked about officials in the officialdom.
Because this young adult is a controversial figure, many officials led by the imperial history think that the court is absurd, and even rewarded a gentleman who is looking for flowers and willows with military merits.
And with the Jingshi Xungui and some adults who are close to Mao Yuanyi and Sun Yuanhua, they think that the imperial court is happy and lucky.
No matter what the world is, controversial people will let others pay attention, and Gao Di and Huang Sheng have a relationship with him, of course, they remember him even more.
When he heard the news, this talented man with a mixed reputation asked to see him, and immediately ordered to be invited. This fully illustrates how important reputation is in a closed feudal society.
Huang Sheng swaggered into the Liaodong Economic Strategy Office, and the outside fell out of the eyeballs, Liaodong Wenwu couldn't understand it, this little adult seemed to be very open, he was actually an old friend of the Governor.
Master Gao Di's laughter came: "Guangning Shizi Huang Sheng, the old man remembers you, unforgettable tonight can be described as a swan song for the ages, you deserve the name of a genius." ”
Seeing that his adult had arrived at the door of the study, the steward quickly bent his waist and lowered his head to make a gesture of please.
Huang Sheng quickly stepped forward and bowed to the ground, and said: "Students meet adults, students in the spring in Beijing have the honor to listen to the teachings of adults, and they have been looking forward to the opportunity to get the guidance of adults again!" ”
After some polite words, an old man and a small talked about poetry and song for a while, and then talked about singing and dancing music, it turned out that the old man fell in love with ballroom dancing, and he told Huang Sheng that this dance was so good, he danced for half an hour every day, and he could eat an extra bowl of rice.
The two talked speculatively and happily, and Huang Sheng told Master Gao when he was about to say goodbye that he had made seventeen Jiannu step armor heads and three vest heads, and left them at the disposal of the Supervisor.
Gao Di, who was also about to serve tea to the guests, was surprised when he heard this: "Lord Huang, could it be that those rumors are true?" Do you really have the ability to take the head of the slave and come as soon as you go? ”
"My lord, the rumors are not credible, some are exaggerated, and the students just like to use firearms to make conspiracies and tricks, and they should not be in battle."
"Lord Huang is too humble! No matter what tricks you use, you always have to go deep into the tiger's den, it seems that although you are young, you are a tiger guts! ”
Lord Gao Di is worried about the people who have no henchmen to fight, and when he sees a civil official who can fight, he is naturally overjoyed, and of course he wants to win people's hearts.
can go from a scholar who has passed the imperial examination to become a scholar, and climbed step by step to a second-class member, how can there be a general, of course, they are all politicians.
Boss Gao Di was already planning to give Huang Sheng some benefits in his heart, so that he could work for himself in the future.
"Gao Jian, quickly order the back hall to set up wine, and the old man wants to accompany Lord Huang to have a few drinks." Gaudi said to the steward standing in the doorway.
"My lord, a few of the students' subordinates are outside with things, do you arrange for someone to go out and bring them in?"
After a while, the steward Gao Jian came to Gao Di's side and replied: "Master, the younger one has already taken the Huang family brothers to send the things to the firewood room in the backyard, do you want to see it for yourself?" ”
Huang Sheng hurriedly said: "My lord, the student suggests that you send a few family members who know how to check the authenticity of the first level to take a look, you must not check it yourself, it is too stinky." ”
"How's that going to work? It is not easy for a soldier to cut the head of Jiannu, how can this official not even stand a little taste. ”
Yes, this old man didn't know what to do, and Huang Sheng had no choice but to accompany him.
When he came to the firewood room, Huang Sheng hid far away and pretended to have something to say to Huang Dongshan, so that Gao Di took a few henchmen to suffer.
This adult was really able to bear it, and the twenty wooden boxes were opened one by one to admire carefully, and the sound of him laughing could be heard from time to time.
It turned out that Lord Gao Di had served in the military department for a long time, and it was commonplace to check his merits and look at the first level, and he had become accustomed to it.
He was an expert, and when he saw that the twenty heads were all men in the prime of life, all of them were real slaves, and there were all kinds of physical evidence such as weapons, armor, and waist cards, and he looked at this Lord Huang again in his heart.
In the past, the first level of merit was verified and reported in the Ministry of War, and the following was reported to the 20th level, and half of them could stand the inspection, and it was impossible to be so full of real gold.
It can be seen that this young Lord Huang is an honest gentleman!
When Lord Gao Di came to the back hall of the official office refreshed after bathing and changing clothes, his attitude towards Huang Sheng was much kinder.
It's still a truth, only with strength can you have face, and you are not afraid that the leader will use you, but you are afraid that the leader will not know you at all.
After three rounds of drinking, Gao Di took the initiative to say: "Lord Huang sent a twenty-level real slave to come here, but he didn't want any reward, how should the old man deal with it?" ”
"The student has already prospered, the last time for the student's reward, the Beijing teacher has made a storm in the city, and now the student must not be mentioned again, people are terrible!"
Gao Di valued Huang Sheng more in his heart, this young man has the ability and knows that advance and retreat is a material that can be made.
"Lord Huang, it's not easy for you to support your family and fight for the country, the old man can help with some military supplies."
"The students are grateful, can you ask the adults to allocate 50,000 catties of gunpowder and 300 guns, the students' ability to use soldiers is limited, and most of them use gunpowder to blow up Jiannu."
The infrastructure of Huangjiawan Island is all in the mountains, and the land is leveled by gunpowder blasting, and the limited arable land is reluctant to be used to build houses.
Therefore, there is a great demand for gunpowder, and Huang Sheng has asked Huang Mingli to use the waist card given by Mao Yuanyi to go to the arsenals of Ningyuan and Juehua Island to collect it, and now there is not much gunpowder left.
The newly appointed Liaodong Jingluo opened his mouth to make a request, if it was too easy, wouldn't he look down on Lord Gaodi? Huang Sheng came and opened his mouth.
Gao Di thought for a moment and asked, "Lord Huang, why do you need so much gunpowder?" ”
"My lord, do you know that every time the students attack Jiannu, they use hundreds of catties of gunpowder mixed with broken iron to make bombs, and they budget the way for Jiannu to pass, and adopt the stupid method of planting and harvesting to sneak attack Jiannu, and sometimes thousands of catties of gunpowder are spent before one or two are blown up."
"I see." Lord Gao Di didn't understand how Huang Sheng arranged it, so he didn't ask, and promised: "Yes, it's just that the Shanhaiguan inventory can't be given to you, the old man can issue documents, you can send someone to the arsenal of the Beijing Division and the Military Department to collect it directly." ”
"My lord, the two sons of the student's family have been promoted, and the students are not worried that they will lose the military department recklessly, and they are afraid that something will go wrong, so they want to take a leave of absence for two months to accompany them to the Beijing Division."
Such a bullshit thing, of course, Lord Gao Di took care of it, and gave him a two-month vacation.
It also means that Huang Sheng is no longer afraid of impeachment in the imperial history when he appears in Beijing this time.
Lord Gao Di instructed Gao Jian to go through the formalities, and said to Huang Sheng: "Since Lord Huang has gone to Jingshi, why don't you bring more people and horses and transport back the gunpowder and Lu Mi gun you want." ”
"The students obeyed." Huang Sheng smiled and got the official document with the Liaodong Scripture and the Great Seal, and pretended to go to Beijing on a business trip and vacation, and took out a little wife to marry.
