"This person's thing is really interesting, we can't use the corona without the sun, this little ornament can know the time, oh, and often twist it in this eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Emperor Wanli stared at a box about a foot high on the table, full of interest, and although Zhao Jinliang was standing next to him, although he lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, he couldn't help but be curious and looked up a few times.

"It's said that people are crude, but this kind of mechanism is quite ingenious, and it can be calculated to an eighth-of-an hour, and it can be gone!"

"Long live the lord, Wang Tong sent this into the palace, although it is a piece of loyalty, but after all, it is not the right way, it must be known by the queen mother, and it is a plaything to lose his mind, and Wang Tong will be reprimanded if he is not good."

"Okay, okay, Xiaoliang, you send the things to Zheng Shufei, and say that Lian will teach her how to play at night."

Zhao Jinliang hurriedly responded, the book case was quite high, he was still a little out of reach, Zhang Cheng stepped forward and put the clock in Zhao Jinliang's arms, Zhao Jinliang took it out with some difficulty, and someone came up to help outside.

At this time, there were already grandfather clocks in Europe, but at most they could measure the moment and were not very accurate, but this purely artificial device was much stronger than the drip and the corona.

European merchants often used this to curry favor with nobles from other places, and Abagun also brought this when he saw Wang Tong, but Wang Tong didn't think it was rare, and sent it to the palace as a tribute.

This kind of fresh item is very popular with Emperor Wanli, and he studied there for a long time, and he was very happy, but Zhang Cheng, who was serving him closely, had to say a word.

Watching Zhao Jinliang go out, Emperor Wanli picked up a piece of music on the table and glanced at it casually, then dropped it irritably, and said boredly:

"It's all something that Mr. Zhang can call the shots, why bother to watch it, it's better to waste all this effort every day, it's better to accompany your mother more and go over there............"

Halfway through the talk but stopped, everyone knew that the emperor was talking about Zheng Shufei's side, but Zhang Cheng lowered his head and didn't make a sound, Emperor Wanli seemed to remember something, and said:

"The Imperial Horse Supervisor is really a widow and confused, it's not enough to toss Wang Tong's side once, and you have to get it a second time, this matter, Zhang Ban will accompany you to spread the widow's will today, don't do such a senseless thing that costs the people and money......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Cheng coughed dryly, but he flipped out a book on the side, sent it over with both hands and said:

"Long live the lord first, read Zhang Ge Lao's recital."

Emperor Wanli also knew that there were other hidden secrets in the matter, so he didn't say anything, and after taking the twists and turns, Zhang Cheng explained on the side:

"At the beginning of the year, a general under the command of the chief of the captive fled with thousands of horses, and now he is entrenched in a river loop hundreds of miles east of Miyunwei, colluding with the Tartar Horqin Department in the north of Jizhen, and several tribes attached to the Ming Dynasty on the Duoyan side have been squeezed and bullied.

Looking at the fold and listening to Zhang Cheng's explanation, Emperor Wanli waved the fold in his hand, frowned and said:

"There is a peace discussion with me over there, and if you start such a rash provocation, those people in the DPRK and China will make a lot of noise."

Zhang Cheng took a step forward and said with a smile:

"Long live Lord, according to the news from Lord Qi, the general under me has already betrayed, and he can't be regarded as a person under my hand, this is not under the control of the discussion, what Lord Qi means is that I am now stationed on the side of Tubo, and the news may not be able to come back for a while, and when I know the news, I will recruit the rebel to go back."

Having said this, Emperor Wanli naturally knew every and said with a smile:

"Take this opportunity to cripple this one first, and in any case, it will be weak."

"Long Live Lord Shengming"

Zhang Cheng flattered him, and Emperor Wanli frowned again and said:

"The Ministry of War is doing so much this time, Li Rusong will also use it when he goes to Xuanfu, there are so many soldiers in the two towns, why do you want Wang Tong to go, is it not pleasing to look at this bit of Lian's belongings?"

Zhang Cheng sighed in his heart, but when he talked about this, he had to explain:

"Long live Lord, although this matter is said to be the idea of the Ministry of War, but how do those people know that marching and fighting, it is not the strategy of Lord Qi in Jizhen, Zhang Ge Lao nodded and did it, the left and right are the strategies of Lord Qi, and it is clear after the excerpt that Wang Tong's Huwei Battalion won the battle on the grassland last year, how familiar it is, and it can also help."

Seeing that Emperor Wanli's face was still a little gloomy, Zhang Cheng turned his head to look outside the door, stepped forward and whispered:

"Although Qi Jiguang is close to Gonggong Feng and Zhang Ge, he can be loyal to the country, the first emperor and the queen mother have said it, besides, Long Live Lord is not willing to give up Wang Tong, and he is also afraid of any damage on his side, but the book doesn't say that the sword must be sharpened, and the soldiers must fight, if Long Live Lord wants Wang Tong to be of great use in the future, go outside to experience and fight, whether it is for Long Live Lord or Wang Tong, it is good."

Emperor Wanli's expression changed, and at the end he threw away the fold in his hand:

"It's difficult for Wang Tong, hard work to earn money in the palace, and I have to go to the north to fight in this New Year's Festival, so many things in the Ming Dynasty, how can I press so much on him."

………… Wang Tongshi has a lot of experience in how to build a group of people who do things, and in the current situation, even if he leaves it alone, it can operate normally for a period of time. However, Wang Tong will not let himself be idle, in this era, he has too much wealth and happiness that can be enjoyed, and his current net worth is not exaggerated to say that he is rich and rivals the country, saying that he is powerful, he has the Son of Heaven as a backer, and there are several errands with real power in his hands, as long as he does not make a big mistake, who can move him. Don't be busy, go to enjoy, not only for your own good, I'm afraid that many people inside and outside the palace, inside and outside the court, will be happy to see him like this.

But you can't be idle, you can't enjoy it, Wang Tong is afraid that he will indulge in it as soon as he relaxes, and in the current situation, looking at the wealth and peace, there are too many hidden dangers, and he really can't relax.

He thinks so, but others don't see it this way, and now Wang Tong's subordinates are complaining about it everywhere except for the Huwei camp.

Wang Tong is not idle, staring everywhere every day, others naturally can't be idle, busy all day long, although the income is good, but too tired, it is inevitable to say some gossip, they thought that their complaints Wang Tong would not know, but they didn't expect that Zhang Shiqiang's detailed work placed everywhere was a report of 1510. Left and right is what someone has said, simply write it, list a list and report it to Wang Tong, usually sent it at night, but Wang Tong looks at it during the day, saying that this kind of thing is not worth the trouble of seeing it at night, and after reading it, it is directly put in the brazier and burned.

"When I invited them to come, I was happy one by one, and at that time I had a job that was already satisfied, and now I have earned money for a year or two, my identity is also there, and my family background is also there, and one by one I can't stand it, and I want to enjoy it, and I think it's good, and if the newcomer doesn't add in, then what is the opportunity to enjoy happiness."

Wang Tong only has this evaluation, although all business schools and translation schools are training manpower, but there are still not enough people to do errands in the two inspections.

It is also the prosperity of Tianjin Wei that is expanding too fast, and the newcomers recruited from all over the world often do not give the old man apprentices step by step, and slowly adapt, but adopt the way of promoting half of the people who are capable, and directly take a group of newcomers to manage things.

But manpower is so tight, it's good to be able to ensure that someone should be in charge, don't think about rotating substitutes, and it's no wonder that the following are tired and tired.

Wang Tong is also helpless here, the people who came out of the business school and the translation school, not only Wang Tong's family wants, Tianjin Wei's commercial store, all the businesses also want to buy and sell, and the salary given is not low at all, this person can use it when he comes, he knows the rules, and he can help a big guy immediately, and he doesn't need to apprentice for too long, who doesn't like it, not to mention that Tianjin Wei is so busy, and many top people are to earn an extra piece of silver, and everyone will naturally grab such a person.

According to the judgment made by Yang Sichen and a few shopkeepers, when Tianjin Wei can be called fully manpowered, at least in two years, this is still judged according to the scale of Tianjin Wei's current exhibition, if there is any growth, I am afraid it is still not enough. It was not easy to make such a situation, but there were too many places to keep up and pull back, and it could only be considered in the long run.

Although the people below have complaints, they can take enough money and have dignity on the ground of Tianjin Wei, so they don't have to worry too much, they just can't hear and leave.

There are not enough people below, and there are not enough people above, and most of the backbones under Wang Tong are generals in the Huwei army, who are proficient in martial arts, but they are not so useful in civil affairs.

Sun Dahai, Zhang Shiqiang, and Tang Shan, although they each have their own errands and do their best to be conscientious, but at best, they are just decent and barely observed. Looking at the exhibition of Tianjin Wei at this time, Wang Tong's future future needs some talents who dare to open up. However, for so many years, people with ability and talent have been turning around in the imperial examination, who will come to Wang Tong, who has no reputation and is despised by the world's scholars to do things.

Yang Sichen and Cai Nan are compatible, but Yang Sichen is lonely, Cai Nan also has an errand to supervise the army, Wang Tong needs to do too many things himself, and he is the busiest person in Tianjin Wei who should complain the most.

There will be no delay in the things that the bigwigs on the side of the Beijing division have agreed upon, so Li Wenyuan personally led people to send them down, and after Wang Tong received the will, he began to summon his subordinates in the palace to convey the order.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Lord Wang suddenly closed the door, and there may be some things, according to the convention, rumors began to appear. On the fourth day after receiving the secret message, that is, on the third day of the first month of November, an unexpected guest came to the door and asked to see him.
