Not to mention that Xue Lian made that kind of indecent action to Xue Chenglin's children.

After letting Xue Lian be carried away, Wang Chengen returned to Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be thinking about something, and when he saw Wang Chengen coming in, he asked Wang Chengen: "Wang Companion, I received a piece of music a few days ago, and the minister who took the chapter suggested that the post stations in various places should be abolished. In this way, the imperial court can save more than 100,000 taels of silver every year. Wang Banban, what do you think about this? ”

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's question, Wang Chengen hurriedly laughed and said, "The emperor's question can kill the old slave." The old slave has this knowledge, how can he understand the major affairs of the country? ”

Emperor Chongzhen was quite satisfied with Wang Chengen's attitude, and he also smiled and asked, "It's okay." Tell us what you think. ”

Wang Chengen still replied with a smile: "Then the old slave is bold." The old slave estimated that the court policy proposed by those loyal and righteous old masters in the court would not be very wrong. ”

"The old slave only has the knowledge of a small family. In a small family, if a family wants to prosper, it is always inseparable from the words "diligence" and "thrift". Seeing that since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been busy with state affairs every day, and he can't even take care of eating. The emperor will definitely become the king of Zhongxing and the king of Yaoshun. ”

Wang Chengen's words obviously scratched the itch of Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen scolded with a smile: "You old thing." I want you to talk about something, you have to pat my ass. ”

Wang Chengen also said with a smile: "Actually, the old slave is also a little cautious. The old slave thought that when the old slave was old, he would not be able to serve the emperor. Please ask the emperor to allow the old slave to return to his hometown once. Let the old slave also shake his majesty in front of those mud legs in his hometown. Let them know that the old slave is also the one who served in front of the Lord of Yao Shun. ”

Wang Chengen's words made Emperor Chongzhen happily daxiao. Wang Chengen, who was laughing with him, thought to himself: "If the post station is abolished or not, take care of my." Serving the emperor is happy, that is our eunuch's job. ”

After Emperor Chongzhen's laughter ended, Wang Chengen continued: "But your majesty, you also have to pay attention to your body." You have worked so hard these days, and the old slave's heart hurts. ”

"Ahh Emperor Chongzhen let out a long sigh, "Wang Companion, I know that you care about me. However, it is difficult to deal with state affairs! ”

"After I ascended the throne, I realized that the Ming Dynasty had caused a lot of holes for Wei Zhongxian's dog. The household department could hardly come up with any silver taels. It's really the master who knows that firewood and rice are expensive. I've decided. Let's get rid of the post station. However, first of all, it is necessary to clear Wei Zhongxian's party. Look, we ......"

In the post station, Li Zicheng, who had been busy all day, returned home happily. When I was a post boy today, I happened to get a reward of more than 60 Wen. Li Zicheng happily went home with some food and drinks. He didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen was already going to abolish the post station. His days as a post boy will soon be over.

And Wu Shigong, who is in Guide, has not been idle these days. However, the first thing he did these days was to collect a dog's leg.

These days, Chang Meng followed Wu Shigong to run east and west, and saw Wu Shigong's majesty, and Wu Shigong gave Chang Meng a very generous reward. So one day, he knelt in front of Wu Shigong and kowtowed, asking to be a long-term follower of Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong thought to himself: I really need someone who is familiar with the local situation to run errands for myself. Therefore, Chang Meng was also accepted.

Then, Wu Shigong arranged affairs for Zheng Zhen. The fortress of a thousand households cannot be built by labor alone. There is also a need to hire some carpenters and plasterers locally.

With so many carpenters and plasterers, there must be no way to get together in a small town. So, Wu Shigong asked Chang Meng to lead the way, and asked Zheng Zhen to take Yinliang to the county seat about ten miles away from the town to be employed, and by the way, he also had to buy some building materials back.

But at this time, Xiaojie was sick. The little girl had traveled so long and was frightened on the way to Guide. So, as soon as I arrived in the town, I developed a high fever and fell ill.

Chang Meng was anxious to ask for credit in front of the new master, so he immediately found a ...... for Xiaojie Kamihan is coming!?

That Chang Meng said to Wu Shigong: That Shenhan's magic is very skillful, and he is a branch president of the well-known Holy Spirit Society in several nearby counties. As long as you have eaten his magic medicine, you can basically cure the disease.

Wu Shigong is a modern person, how can he believe these things? After the god man left, Wu Shigong threw away all the magic medicine. He also asked Chang Meng to go to the county seat to find a better Langzhong. Don't be afraid to spend money.

Fortunately, Xiaojie's illness is only a sudden illness, and the medical skills of Lang Zhong who was invited are also good. After drinking a few pairs of medicines, Xiaojie's high fever has subsided. Next, it's just a matter of recuperation. This made Zhao Ruya and Wu Shigong greatly relieved.

After the incident passed, Wu Shigong became curious, so he asked Chang Meng for the news of the Holy Spirit Society.

Chang Meng told Wu Shigong: The Holy Spirit will also worship the Bodhisattva. Leading the way are several masters dressed as monks. Their doctrine is to advocate poverty alleviation and mutual assistance. Therefore, there is a lot of relief for poor families, and they often send people to the doctor for medicine.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit will develop very quickly. It's better on Guide's side. On the side of Runing Mansion and Nanyang Mansion, there are many people who believe it. Almost every county has a branch, and even many large families donate money to the Holy Spirit Society.

Wu Shigong immediately understood. The Holy Spirit Society is also a reactionary Taoist alliance organization that cheats money and sex. However, this Holy Spirit Society has little to do with Wu Shigong, so Wu Shigong has no spare time to take care of those things.

And these days, the days of Yang Goudan are going to be at ease. Although, at that time, he was reluctant to leave the capital. However, Yang Goudan's nerves seem to be particularly large. After returning to Germany, you will be at peace when you have come.

Although Wu Shigong tied Yang Goudan to Guide, he did not treat him badly in terms of treatment. Moreover, Yang Goudan was also given a monthly example of forty taels of silver every month. Of course, the monthly allowance of Yang Goudan's apprentice also had to be paid from these forty taels of silver.

But even so, Yang Goudan can be regarded as stepping into the ranks of wealthy families. Moreover, now he doesn't need to work, that Yang Goudan drinks a little wine every day, and his life is beautiful, if it weren't for his wife's tight management, he would simply want to marry a concubine again.

Wu Shigong looked at Yang Goudan's appearance and felt that this was not good. However, now he doesn't have a blacksmith workshop, and he can't arrange Yang Goudan to work.

Knowing Wu Shigong's problem, the role of Chang Meng's dog legs was brought into play. He said to Wu Shigong: There is also a blacksmith workshop in that town, and the blacksmith Li of the blacksmith workshop, his ancestor was a blacksmith from Qianhusu, and later moved to the town to become a private household, and has been working as a blacksmith in the town.

However, strictly speaking, the Li blacksmith can also be said to be the military household of the Thousand Households, and the blacksmith workshop can also be said to be the blacksmith workshop of the Thousand Households.

And such a good thing? After Wu Shigong heard this, he didn't say a word, ordered fifty guards, and rushed to the blacksmith workshop.

He put two paths in front of the blacksmith Li: one was that the blacksmith Li, as a deserter from the Thousand Households, would be killed immediately; The other is that Li Blacksmith's blacksmith workshop, Wu Shigong bought it for the price. Blacksmith Li and his two apprentices will also follow Wu Shigong.

Is there any choice left for Blacksmith Li? However, the price given by Wu Shigong was also very fair, and he also gave Li Blacksmith a large number of monthly examples. This is still Wu Shigong's modern origin: the idea of attaching importance to jishu experts is at work.

After getting the blacksmith workshop, Wu Shigong visited it and was very satisfied with the blacksmith workshop. This blacksmith's workshop was already relatively large. In addition, it is close to the river, and it is convenient to expand the workshop area and get water when striking iron.

So, Wu Shigong arranged with Yang Goudan and Blacksmith Li and said: Let them focus on two tasks at present. One is that the original firecracker is still made. Another item is to create a prototype of a new firecracker.

Wu Shigong asked Yang Goudan to build a firecracker in the capital, which was built in the shape of a modern smoothbore shotgun. However, according to the level of craftsmanship in the Ming Dynasty, the effective range of such a firearm is only fifty steps. Therefore, Wu Shigong wanted to create a fire gun with a range of 100 steps on the basis of keeping the power unchanged.

After listening to Wu Shigong's request for the new model of firecracker, Yang Goudan reminded Wu Shigong that there was no problem in creating the new firecracker. But the size of the new firearm will be very large, and if one person holds it up and fires a few shots, he will not have the strength to use it anymore.

Wu Shigong told Yang Goudan not to worry about this problem. Now, Wu Shigong mainly wants to solve the defense problem of the fortress of Qianhusuo. No matter how heavy the fire gun is, isn't it okay to stand on the city wall and hit it?

After Wu Shigong and Yang Goudan finished talking, and Wu Shigong sent Yang Goudan back to the inn where he lived, Yang Goudan's eldest son, Yang Rusong, suddenly jumped to Wu Shigong and knelt down. He begged Wu Shigong: "Adults, small ones also want to be soldiers." Adults should take the small ones. ”

Hearing Yang Rusong's sudden vote, Wu Shigong was quite happy in his heart. He thought, "It's still the consciousness of the working class!" ”

It turned out that Yang Rusong was seventeen or eighteen years old, which was the age when he loved to dream of being a hero. On the way to Guide, I saw Wu Shigong and them, when they attacked Zhuangzi, they were so majestic, and their hearts were already itching.

But Yang Rusong's actions surprised Yang Goudan. Yang Goudan was trained by his eldest son Yang Rusong as his successor. Besides, Yang Goudan has been a blacksmith in Beijing for such a long time, is it still unclear what it was like to be a soldier in the Ming Dynasty?

So, Na Yang Goudan hurriedly went to Wu Shigong to plead and asked Wu Shigong to ignore the nonsense of the muddy boy. And not only Yang Goudan, but even Yang Goudan's wife heard that her eldest son wanted to be a soldier, and she also went out of the house to plead with Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong simply ignored the couple who were pleading. Finally, there is such a person who is willing to follow Wu Shigong to be a soldier, Wu Shigong is too late to welcome him, how can he let this mascot who has a good start escape?
