"I've read books, and I've also taken the Xiucai exam...... "As soon as Wu Chang finished speaking, Wang Xiucai, who was standing among the homeless, said with excitement on his face.

It is said that it is useless to be a scholar, as a scholar from a poor family, after listening to Wu Chang's words, Wang Xiucai felt for the first time that he had a place to use and could do something for the hundreds of homeless people who had helped him.

So, under the gaze of Shubaishuang, Wang Xiucai didn't care about the so-called identity of a scholar, in order to survive and eat a full stomach, he rushed directly to Wu Chang and volunteered......

Under the questioning of Mr. Wang, Wang Xiucai immediately revealed his identity. Then, he looked at the main thing in front of him with a full face of expectation, hoping that he could be reused by the other party.

did not disappoint him, after listening to his introduction, Director Zhang's tired face directly showed a feeling of heavy release. Then, he said with a satisfied face to Wang Xiucai: "Wang Daoguang, you came too timely, there are too many displaced people in the past few days, and I just lack a helper." ”

"I'm in our Haw Par Army and I'm the main business of Zhengbapin, from now on, you will follow me first. After that, I will recommend you to our Xuanfu envoy Zhou. I promise, at your level, Brother Wang, you will definitely get an official position of the same grade as mine......"

"The eight-rank official position of the imperial court, Lord Zhang, are you saying that I can not only eat a full stomach, but also be an official ......" Wang Daoguang Wang Xiucai asked rhetorically with a face full of incredulity.

"Of course......," Director Zhang said with an affirmative expression.

"You may not know it, but our Lord General Soldier values us as scholars very much. Just a few months ago, I was just like you. He is also an outcast. But. Since following the chief soldier-sama. Not only did he not have to go hungry anymore, but he was also reused, and under the promotion of the chief soldier, he became the head of an eight-grade product. ”

"Do you know what I just said about Xuanfu Envoy Zhou? He was also a talent who was not admitted to the Jinshi, and became a homeless because of the war. However, after following the chief soldier, he not only became an official, but also became the ambassador of the fourth grade of the imperial court in one fell swoop. Only in terms of grade. It's already at the same level as the prefect of Datong......"

"The chief soldier also told us that as long as we do things for him well, everyone can be a county commander in the future, and even a prefect ......."

Hearing this, the incredulity on Wang Daoguang's face was covered with excitement and anticipation. said loudly to Director Zhang: "Please rest assured, Director Zhang, I will do a good job..."

"I really didn't expect that I, Wang Daoguang, also have hope to be an official..."

When he said these words, Wang Daoguang said silently in his heart: "No matter what, I have to seize this opportunity and let those who look down on me." And those who have humiliated themselves look at it. Even if you don't have a background, you can get ahead as a scholar. You can be an official...."

Seeing Wang Daoguang in reverie in front of him, the first thing that came to mind was the shocked expression he had when he heard the chief soldier announce that he was an official.

Therefore, regarding the changing expression on Wang Daoguang's face, Director Zhang did not express any disdain.

However, when he saw the hundreds of homeless people staring at the food in front of him, he had to interrupt Wang Daoguang, who was in a reverie, and said calmly: "Wang Xiucai, the villagers are still waiting for us to hand out wooden cards to eat..."

Wang Guangdao reacted suddenly, and said with an embarrassed face: "Yes, my lord." The students will help the adults hand out wooden signs......"

When more and more displaced people converged in Datong, Wei Zheng, under the leadership of Zhou Shuyuan, walked into another place in Datong City that he valued very much, the Datong garrison craftsman workshop...

Before he actually entered the craftsman's workshop, the crisp sound of hammer striking reached Wei Zheng's ears.

However, when Wei Zheng saw the two sentinels at the door of the craftsman's workshop, he stretched his brows and subconsciously frowned.

In Wei Zheng's eyes, an army must have combat effectiveness, people are one aspect, and the weapons used by soldiers are also an indispensable aspect.

Therefore, since the Haw Par Army established its own weapons workshop, Wei Zheng has attached great importance to secrecy, and is deeply afraid that the enemy will probe the secrets of his superior weapons.

But the craftsman workshop in front of him, not only did he have no secrecy measures, but even the most basic sentries looked like this, which had to make Wei Zheng angry....

Zhou Shuyuan, who was standing behind the side, hurriedly stood up and explained: "General, when I just saw the vigilance of the craftsman battalion, I was also taken aback. However, after going in and taking a look at the specific situation and strength of the craftsman battalion, I immediately understood why the defenders of Datong Mansion did not pay attention to the secrecy and vigilance of the craftsman battalion at all..."

Wei Zheng said thoughtfully: "Since that's the case, then let's go first and have a look..."

After walking into the craftsman camp, Wei Zheng's first feeling was that it was hot, very hot.

As far as the eye can see, dozens of iron-striking stoves burning with blazing charcoal are very neatly lined up in the craftsman's camp.

Hundreds of shirtless blacksmiths, shouting trumpets, while beating the red-hot pieces of iron, or the broadswords and spears that were about to take shape.

To Wei Zheng's disappointment, on dozens of iron furnaces, Wei Zheng didn't see a single one that made a musket barrel.

At this moment, completely different from the ordinary craftsmen of the craftsman camp, the general manager of the craftsman camp, who was wearing gorgeous clothes, greeted him with a flattering smile on his face.

"Lord Commander, the last general is late, please forgive me for my sins......"

Wei Zheng nodded, and after motioning for the other party to stand up, he asked bluntly: "This is our Datong Mansion's craftsman battalion....Why haven't I seen a furnace for making muskets, and our craftsman battalion has never made muskets?" ”

"This...."Facing Wei Zheng's fierce gaze at him, Mr. Qian's heart couldn't help but feel weak for a while.

After a short hesitation, he replied without confidence: "Lord Commander, it's not that our craftsman battalion doesn't build muskets, but the muskets created by our craftsman battalion can't be used....After a long time, we will no longer build muskets, and specialize in building cold weapons..."

"You can't use it....that means that the musket you created is not up to standard in quality....tell me, is it a problem with the craftsman, or a problem with the material...."Mr. Qian, who didn't have a good first impression in front of him, Wei Zheng didn't give a good face, and continued to ask bluntly.

Seeing Mr. Qian, who was hesitant and unable to speak, Wei Zheng waved his hand directly.

Zhou Shuyuan asked behind him: "It seems that you can't give me an answer to this question, since this is the case, I will go directly to ask the craftsmen in the craftsman camp." ”

After speaking, Wei Zheng directly gave Zhou Shuyuan an inexplicable look. (To be continued......)
