Chapter 50: Receiving Disciples (I)

Although Zhao Yunze has been awarded the official position of the Arsenal Special Administration by Li Shimin, because the Arsenal Special Administration is still just an empty yamen, and all matters are still being prepared, Zhao Yunze still does not need to call the board of directors every day like other officials.

But he can't go out at will, because the arsenal is being built, and Li Shimin or other officials in the DPRK and China may come to him at any time. Therefore, Zhao Yunze became an otaku at home. Even if he goes out, he doesn't dare to go out of Chang'an City, and he has to say hello to Wuhou on duty in the market and inform him of his whereabouts, so that others can find him.

In addition to official business, Zhao Yunze has also done a private matter in the past few days, that is, he has drawn several furniture patterns of later generations, including dining tables, chairs with backrests, low-legged chairs and matching coffee tables. Then I found a carpenter's shop to make it.

Zhao Yunze really didn't want to wronged his knees, he was used to the furniture of later generations, and the habit of kneeling and sitting at every turn in the Tang Dynasty was a punishment for Zhao Yunze.

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty at this time, some high-legged stools and tables had appeared among the people, but they were all simple in style. These new furniture are only used by the people at the bottom. The wealthy and the upper-class people regarded these furniture as vulgar things and would not use them.

But these furniture that Zhao Yunze found someone to create are different, they are all mainstream furniture in later generations, whether it is style or workmanship, it will never be regarded as a vulgar thing.

On this day, when the furniture was finished, the carpenter's shop brought it back in a horse-drawn carriage. After settling the completion money and sending away those craftsmen, Zhao Yunze immediately couldn't wait to feel the furniture.

Sitting on a backrest chair, Zhao Yunze squinted his eyes and let out a sigh: "Well, it's comfortable-"

Things in the world are often like this, when you are used to a thing or a certain person, you don't feel anything special, but after you lose it, you realize how important that thing or that person is to you. When I got it back, I was very excited.

Before Zhao Yunze could experience every piece of furniture, a very harsh voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard: "Wahahahaha...... Zhao boy, hurry up and come out to greet my old Cheng! ”

Cheng Demon King? Why is he here again!

Zhao Yunze hurriedly walked out of the living room.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin had already walked to the middle of the front yard. Behind him were a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy and two fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls.

Although the young man's face was still a little immature, his body was very strong. Look dressed up, not like a servant. And those two girls are maids at first glance, and they are still very pretty little maids.

"General Cheng, it's not too late, I don't have any wine here." Zhao Yunze arched his hand towards Cheng Biting Jin and made a little joke.

"Ahh I'm looking for you, is there nothing else to do but drink? ”

Cheng Biting Jin scolded, then pulled the young man over and said to him: "Little rabbit cub, I haven't seen your Uncle Zhao yet!" ”

Uncle Zhao?! Zhao Yunze almost made a mistake. My brother accidentally became an uncle.

The young man arched his hand towards Zhao Yunze, and said a little shyly: "Little nephew Cheng Chumo, I have seen Uncle Zhao." ”

"Who is this little ......?" Zhao Yunze looked at Cheng Biting Jin in confusion.

"My family, Cheng Chumo."

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Cheng Xian, I have been looking up for a long time." Zhao Yunze hurriedly returned the salute.

Cheng bit Jin's black face and said, "What kind of virtuous brother, this kid is only sixteen this year, so he should be your junior!" ”

That one...... I'm only twenty-five, right?

"It's not appropriate, I'm better with Brother Linglang." Zhao Yunze said to Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Biting Jin's eyes glared, and said, "Then don't you have to call me uncle?" I can't be old and immortal! ”

Zhao Yunze's head was full of black lines. If you don't become an old immortal, I will become an old immortal.

"That...... General Cheng, may I ask, what do you and General Wei Chi Jingde say about seniority? Zhao Yunze decided to attack in a roundabout way, anyway, he couldn't be this "uncle".

"Wei Chi Lao Hei is four years older than me, and he is naturally a brother to me."

"Isn't that over, I and Yu Chi Baolin are also brothers." Zhao Yunze laughed.

Cheng Biting Jin scratched his head, and suddenly said: "Alas, it's no wonder that I gave birth to this rabbit cub a few years later." Yes, you two are brothers...... No, he still has to call you uncle. ”

Zhao Yunze was speechless. How did this come back together?

"Forget it, I'm not going around the bush with you!" Cheng Yanjin waved his hand and said again. "I brought the boy here because I wanted him to worship you as a teacher."

"Huh? Apprentice! Zhao Yunze was taken aback!

Cheng Yanjin smiled embarrassedly and said, "Originally, I wanted you to recognize this nephew first, and then slowly mention the matter of apprenticeship to you later." But you kid don't get set, simply, I'll go straight. ”

"General Cheng, how can I make you think like this?" Zhao Yunze asked puzzled.

"You have great ability, both civil and military!" Cheng Biting Jin said with a thumbs up.

"There are not a few people in the Chinese martial arts, why did you pick me?"

"This ......" Cheng Yanjin hesitated for a while, and suddenly pulled Zhao Yunze aside.

"Hehe, let's be honest with you, I want the rabbit cub to worship you as a teacher, in fact, it is also for the sake of his future." Cheng Yanjin whispered to Zhao Yunze.

Zhao Yunze was surprised: "As a national prince, you shouldn't have to worry about the future, right?" ”

"It is precisely because I am the prince of the country that I have to think more about everywhere." Cheng Biting Jin said, "Chu Mo is the eldest son in the family, and he will be the lord in the future, I don't want him to be an empty grandfather who eats and waits for death." A meritorious child like him will be incorporated into the Medal of Honor when he becomes an adult. What is the future of that kind of place? To put it bluntly, it is a place where ordinary gentlemen gather to play. Even if there are a few people who are competing, the speed of promotion is not much faster. Like the kid named Baolin from the old Hei family of Yu Chi, it took six years to get mixed up from the seventh grade. If it weren't for following Yu Chi Laohei to Jingyang City to fight a battle and earn some credit, I don't know when I would be able to get through. ”

"Then what future can you have if you worship me as a teacher?" Zhao Yunze asked blankly.

"Hehe, your brother is now in charge of the Arsenal Bureau. If the rabbit cub could follow you, the future would be different. Cheng Yanjin said with a wicked smile.

"What's the difference?"

"What are you doing with the arsenal, others don't know about me, don't you know Lao Cheng? Tell me, aren't the firearms you built going to be used by the army? This army that uses firearms is definitely a baby bump, and His Majesty will definitely set it up in the future. Who will be the general...... Hey! ”

Zhao Yunze suddenly realized.

Cheng Biting Jin's idea is not shrewd. Since a special firearms army will be formed in the future, it is natural that the selection of generals must be proficient in firearms. If Cheng Chumo becomes Zhao Yunze's apprentice, is there a more suitable candidate than him? Even if you can't become the commander of an army, you can become a middle-level general. The fire-spirited army will inevitably be used more heavily than other armies, and the future will naturally be worry-free.
