"Dong Weng, there are children in the market recently, Dong Weng wants to listen to it?"

On October 20, Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry, seemed to have completely calmed down, and called that Qian Chunping to play again.

This time, Qian Chunping spoke more bluntly, and after dozens of hands, he suddenly raised this question, Zhang Han did not move, looked down at the chessboard, and said in a deep voice:

"There are always foolish people who take advantage of such a season to make up rumors, what a song, Mr. Qian read it and listen to it."

"It is appropriate to lose his wife, the east building is ambushed, and the evil is eliminated."

Falling lightly, Zhang Han shook his head and chuckled:

"The story of the previous dynasty, the story of the previous dynasty, it's just outside Beijing, do people in Beijing still think that Yan Fenyi relies on Yan Donglou to sit for more than 20 years."

Qian Chunping looked at the board, clicked a piece casually, and just sealed a piece of live chess on Zhang Han's board, and said with a smile:

"Dong Weng, the student thinks that those few lines of ballad don't seem to be talking about Yan Song, but Yan Shifan!"

Zhang Han didn't answer this sentence, but looked at the chessboard and shook his head and exclaimed:

"Mr. Qian's move is really wonderful!"

It is appropriate to use it to call Yan Song, and the East Building is used to call Yan Shifan, Yan Song has been the first assistant in the Jiajing Dynasty for more than 20 years, and he is unprecedentedly superior in the Ming Dynasty, and his son Yan Shifan, although he is a prisoner, has also achieved such a high position as a waiter in the Ministry of Works.

Yan Shifan is conceited that he has the talent of the world, he is indeed extremely smart, the errand of the Ministry of Industry is extremely good, and his speculation about Emperor Jiajing's mind is extremely accurate.

Therefore, Yan Song and Yan Shifan's recitals and strategies are very in line with Emperor Jiajing's thoughts, so close to the holy will, natural grace is unlimited, forty years after Jiajing, Yan Song is already eighty, his old wife died, Yan Shifan returned to his home in accordance with the rules to mourn.

Without Yan Shifan's staff and support, the old Yan Song gradually lost his former favor in the court, and Yan Shifan was also attacked by the imperial historian in the court because he returned to Jiangxi, but he had no way to respond effectively, and was executed on the charge of being a convict.

At this point, the incomparably illustrious Yan family's power collapsed, and the cause of the incident was nothing more than Yan Shifan's mourning, which caused a series of reactions.

Perhaps the fall of the Yan family is due to other reasons, the successes and failures of Yan Shifan and Yan Song, people who have been in the officialdom for a long time are more clear, but what these words of Wei Wei said understands.

After this game of chess, Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry, lost five sons, but Qian Chunping, who was playing against him, knew that if he followed the two of them in Pingyue, I am afraid it was possible to lose twenty sons.

Zhang Han's mind was already in turmoil......***** it was not too early to finish playing chess, Zhang Han sent his family to send Qian Chunping home, if there was no servant of the Ministry of Shangshu to send him, in case he was touched by the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses who patrolled the night, it would be really a trouble.

Qian Chunping's house was in Dongcheng, looking quite magnificent, and bidding farewell to the person who sent it at the door, Qian Chunping turned around and entered his own house.

There was already a servant waiting at the door, this servant was quite tall, and he was not very respectful to Qian Chunping, the door was closed and he took a few steps forward, Qian Chunping walked a few steps, looked left and right, and said in a low voice:

"I've said that, can you let me take a look at the fat dun, my kid is timid, and he can't eat when he's scared......"

Although his voice was calm, there was a slight tremble, and the tall servant behind him laughed a few times and said in a rough voice:

"Master Qian wants to see his son, no one will stop him, how many times can the master believe it, the master's outer house still doesn't know that anyone is staring, as long as the old man is obedient, they won't have anything, Master Qian's big fat son can eat and play, and yesterday he had to buy him wood, knives and guns."

Hearing this, Qian Chunping's demeanor immediately disappeared, his body also fell down, and he walked towards the house in silence, and the tall servant followed behind him in silence.

"When Zhang Han was a waiter, he was already equal to several other books, and his status was noble, but he was not as majestic as before, and his heart was inevitably uneven. ”

One of them held the scroll, said with a smile while reading, and the butler bowed down and said:

"The master's calculation is unparalleled, if it is normal, Zhang Hanwan would not dare to think about Zhang Taiyue, if there is no Zhang Taiyue, he would not have today's position, but people are not as good as the sky, and now a good opportunity has fallen from the sky to him, and Ding is in mourning."

"Zhang Taiyue is the best in the world, he also expected this, I am afraid it will be difficult to come back after leaving this position, we know, he also knows, Feng Bao also knows, this matter, there is a chance that it will become an order. In the matter of seizing affection, according to the convention, the opinion of the official department should be consulted first, and Zhang Han's statement is very important. ”

After hearing what the man said, the butler hurriedly replied solemnly:

"Don't worry, master, Qian Chunping married six rooms, gave birth to eight daughters, raised a woman outside but raised a son for him, he was very nervous, when he reported the place of the house and the woman's name in front of him, Qian Chunping immediately softened."

The man known as the master put down the book and said indifferently:

"Tell this person, as long as he says everything that needs to be said, the next thing has nothing to do with him, his family is not short of silver, and there is still an errand for Changlu Yanzheng."

The butler wanted to say something, but he kept his mouth shut, and the old man glanced at him, shook his head, and said:

"Kill people and kill people, those fans of Dongchang and Jinyiwei are very smart, and it is troublesome to get out of trouble by provoking right and wrong, and arrange to go to Changlu Yanzheng, who doesn't want such a good errand, if you want to do it for a long time, then you have to shut up!"

The fattest errand in the world is the salt administration, which is not to mention the two Huai salt industry, it is said that in Haicheng salt government yamen for three years, even ordinary officials can be rich for several lifetimes, and this Changlu salt field, is the largest and best place in the north, although the income is too far worse than the two Huai, but the victory is less low-key, for people who are familiar with the inside, this is a good place for the first class.

On October 21, when lunch had not been eaten, Emperor Wanli came to the Huwei Martial Arts Hall early, and he naturally had no interest in listening to any lessons on marching and arranging formations, so he had to find Wang Tong for recreation.

Wang Tong was carefully inspecting a short firearm in the hall, and the blacksmith on the side was the leader in his forties, named Qiao Da, Wang Tong had studied blacksmith work in Macao for more than half a year, and he could see the doorway if he studied it carefully and carefully.

Although the appearance of the newly built firebolt is similar to the original one, the differences in details are too great, such as the linkage between the beak clamp and the trigger clamped with the firewire is not smooth, and the chamber is not completely straight, but the polishing is quite smooth.

I'm afraid that this kind of firearm is a burden on the battlefield, the linkage is not smooth, and the end of the fire rope burning is not in the medicine pool, and the gun is not straight, and when the ammunition is fired, there is a good chance that it will explode.

Other places are passable, the tenon of the barrel and the wooden support, the medicine pool and the trigger device, etc., can be seen to be attentive, Wang Tong put the short gun on the table, looked at Na Qiao Da and said:

"There are no burrs in the pipe, and the tenon is still regular, if it weren't for these places, the official would still think that you were cheating the silver?"

Wang Tong said indifferently, but Qiao Da's face turned pale, from Wang Tong's action of checking the fire gun, it can be seen that this young man is very expert, and these two sentences prove this point, Wang Tong did not get angry, just looked at him like that, Qiao Da's face became more and more pale, and sweat gradually oozed from his forehead.

It's been a long time, don't look at the age, Wang Tong also has a kind of majesty, just looking at Qiao Da, the blacksmith who has never seen the official much also felt the pressure, and finally couldn't bear it, knelt on the ground with a plop, and pleaded with a cry:

"Master, the little ones really tried their best!!"

Wang Tong was puzzled, and said:

"Of course this official knows that you have tried your best, isn't there any way to improve, what's the use of not doing your best!"

Na Qiao Da knew that he had misunderstood, wiped his face and stood up, coughed and said:

"Don't tell the master, the key is that the measuring tool is too bad to use, and there are mistakes in the things that are measured.

Wang Tong nodded, the tool for measuring the size is not easy to use, and the data obtained from the short firearm must also be full of errors, this replica is naturally problematic, and it can't be expected that a few blacksmiths who make blade farming tools privately will have any earth-shattering skills, to put it this way, this rough replica of the short firearm seems to be reasonable.

The problem was on the measuring tool, and Wang Tong opened his mouth and said:

"Measuring tools and scales, buy them if you need them, and although the silver needs to be spent, it should be."

Qiao Da rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment:

"If you want a good house, you have to use good measuring tools, such appliances, shops and anything are not sold, and the small ones know that there are two places, but I'm afraid it's not easy to get?"

Saying this, Wang Tong became interested and asked:

"Where?"

"There is a craftsman department in the Ministry of Industry, and there are also workshops in the palace to make utensils for the emperor, but the lord also knows that these two yamen are too big to deal with."

As he was talking, the gate of the courtyard outside was pushed open, and Zou Yi, who was wearing civilian clothes, shouted at the door:

"Brother Wang, Young Master Huang is here."

Young Master Huang, Wang Tong reacted immediately, waved his hand at Qiao Da and said:

"The Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Supervisor two measuring tools, I'll find a way for you, you go back and sort out the method from beginning to end, and see what you can improve yourself, go down!"

Qiao Da wondered in his heart, how did the master know the name of this "what prison", and said that he could get a measuring tool, did the Jinyi Wei Baihu have such a great ability?

He retreated while pondering, and Wang Tong had already strode out.
