After Chen Fei finished dealing with these craftsmen, they all continued to study how to make artillery, so that they would be completely free of trachoma. These guns must not have any trachoma, once there is trachoma, the nearby artillery must be dead. Once there is a sand hole, the air tightness is wrong, and it is very easy to explode when it is launched. Once it is blown up, the next nearby artillerymen will be either injured or killed. If you are unlucky, then once a series of artillery ammunition is caused to detonate, the artillery is in danger of being wiped out. Therefore, this kind of trachoma is absolutely inadmissible. Of course, Chen Fei knew that the quality of artillery was the lifeline, and the Ming Dynasty had actually reached the peak of firearms in terms of technology, the only pity was that those fools were actually corrupt, and the quality of firearms continued to decline, and in the end, soldiers would rather hold cold weapons than fight with firearms. In the end, they lost their advantage in firearms, and the Qing army defeated them easily. Therefore, the military industry is one of the lifelines of the army, and this is definitely not nonsense.

"Chen Langzhong, Chen Xiande of the Ministry of Water is ready to come to visit!" Yang Jiaxiang said.

Now Yang Jiaxiang has been recommended by Chen Fei and Du Ruhui and has become the main person under Chen Fei. And Yang Jiaxiang became Chen Fei's "secretary", and he specially obeyed Chen Fei's arrangement to do some sundries. However, at this time, there was no such title as secretary, but there was a "record office". However, the scope of authority of the bookkeeper is much smaller than that of the secretary, but Chen Fei asked this Yang Jiaxiang to help him do things, obviously using him as a secretary. But it's ridiculous to say that his secretary is older than himself, which has to be said to be a speechless situation.

"Mizube Langzhong Chen Xiande, who is it?" Chen Fei asked.

And Yang Jiaxiang immediately said with some joy: "Chen Langzhong, this Chen Xiande is Chen Shizhong's son." ”

"Chen Shizhong?" Chen Fei still didn't know anything.

"Chen Shizhong is also Chen Shuda's Shizhong, although he has been dismissed by the emperor now, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, so he is also the queen of the royal family! At that time, the Chen family was also the royal family of Nan Chen. After being destroyed by the Sui Dynasty, he was still one of the nobles in the south. And it just so happened that Chen Langzhong, you are also surnamed Chen, maybe it was a family five hundred years ago! Even, the Chen family has a lot of family members outside, and Chen Langzhong, you have been wandering outside since you were a child, so maybe you are still a member of the Chen family. If it's a member of the Chen family, that's great, then maybe you can climb the big tree of the Chen family! Yang Jiaxiang said.

Chen Fei shook his head, of course he knew that he couldn't be a member of the Chen family. Chen Fei didn't have the idea of clinging. He is a physical crossing, and it is not the so-called soul piercing or reincarnation, so he knows that he cannot be a descendant of the Chen family. Even in later generations, he is an orphan, and it is unlikely that his surname is Chen, so naturally he cannot be a member of the Chen family at all. Chen Fei also disdained to cling to the Chen family, and it was useless to cling to it. There are more people in this world who want to climb the dragon and the phoenix, but how many can succeed?

"Since people are also here, let's see them!" Chen Fei said.

Soon. Chen Xiande, who was in the Ministry of Water, also came from the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Water is responsible for the work of water conservancy, rivers, boats and bridges, customs and river customs across the country, which is equivalent to the combination of several departments in later generations. Such a person can be regarded as a high-powered person, Chen Fei can't ignore it. and he is also the son of Chen Shuda, who was the original servant. But one of the prime ministers. Even if he is removed from office now, he is still the former prime minister, and his status is very high. What's more, they are also former royals, and they can't be underestimated!

And this Chen Xiande is probably a middle-aged man in his forties. It looks like he's quite energetic. However, Chen Fei estimates that he has climbed to the ceiling, and I am afraid that in this life, at most, he will be able to be promoted to become a squire again, and he wants to ascend to the position of prime minister. That's harder, I'm afraid. Because according to the unspoken rules of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to have two successive generations of father and son who can become prime ministers. This is also because of the fear of forming a family of powerful ministers and then threatening the royal family. And Chen Shuda is already the prime minister, and it is difficult for his son to be the prime minister in this life. In addition, his age has no advantage, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive until Li Shimin's death. As long as Li Shimin is in this world for a day, it will be difficult for the Chen family to have a prime minister.

"Chen Langzhong, hehe, I heard that there is another surnamed Chen in our twenty-four Cao, what a coincidence! Originally, there were already two Lang Zhong surnamed Chen in our six departments and twenty-four Cao, one is me, and the other is Chen Dade, the staff of the same military department as you, and now there is another one surnamed Chen, it seems that we really have fate! Chen Xiande said.

"The staff Lang Zhong is also surnamed Chen, I really didn't expect this!" Chen Fei thought to himself.

If you include yourself, then among the six departments and twenty-four Caos in Shangshu Province, there are three Lang who are surnamed Chen, which is really a large proportion. The surname Chen was not an absolute surname in ancient times, so there were actually three Lang surnamed Chen in the twenty-four Cao in the center, which was a lot.

And Chen Fei has also seen the staff Langzhong who belongs to the same military department as himself, but that Chen Dade is very taciturn, he doesn't like to say a word, Chen Fei greeted him several times, he just nodded, and didn't speak. So Chen Fei didn't know that he was also surnamed Chen.

"Chen Langzhong, you are also surnamed Chen, maybe you are also a member of our Chen family!" Chen Xiande said.

Chen Xiande's words are not wrong, because the most famous branch of the Chen family is the Southern Chen royal family. After all, the Nanchen royal family is a family that created a dynasty, and the royal family is very capable. You don't see the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, wasn't it a small surname when it was not a royal family? After the Liu family became the emperor, the fertility continued to improve, so that the branches and leaves spread very quickly, making the Liu family a big family. And the Li family also created the Tang Dynasty, which allowed the Li family to rise.

However, at this time, it has not been long since the demise of Nan Chen, and the vast majority of people surnamed Chen in the world are probably related to the Nan Chen royal family.

"Oh, I really don't know. I was far away from my biological parents since I was a child, so I'm afraid I really don't know this! Chen Fei said with a haha.

Chen Xiande then took a serious look at Chen Fei, and then said, "Chen Langzhong, you seem to be very similar to my twenty-third uncle!" ”

"Hmph, the play meat is finally here! I'd like to see what you can say today. Chen Fei complained in his heart. (To be continued......)
