Yuanjiang County Ya.

Zhao Kang heard that someone was looking for him, and he was even more curious when he heard Zhang Long say that the person who came should be a big official.

After Li Yuan arrived, Zhao Kang recognized the military boss.

There is no controversy about the important ranking of the six ministries, the first ministry, and the ministry at the end.

After all, one is personnel appointment and dismissal, and the other is engaged in construction, and it is obvious who has more power.

And who is second in the household department and the ritual department has been debated since ancient times.

The Ministry of Rites is engaged in face-saving projects, while the Ministry of Household exercises financial power, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.

The military department is particularly special, and the presence of the military department during the Taiping period was very low.

But if there is a fight, it will be different, even if it is a small military officer, he dares to point at the head of the household boss and scold his mother.

for they are in charge of the war.

Seeing that it was Li Yuan looking for him, Zhao Kang didn't dare to slack off.

Remember https://m in a second.

Li Yuan took the lead in saluting and said with a smile: "Meet the national teacher." ”

Zhao Kang smiled heartily: "Lord Li is scolding me in a different way." ”

"How dare you."

"Please take a seat, Zhang Long will let you serve tea."

The two were polite, Zhao Kang invited Li Yuan to sit down, and Zhang Long withdrew with tea.

Zhao Kang poured two cups of tea and looked at Li Yuan: "I don't know if Master Li has any advice when he comes to visit?" ”

Zhao Kang also knows a lot about Li Yuan, and knows a little about it, but he just knows it.

The most impressive thing was that on the night of the auction in the noble hall, this guy didn't pay a penny.

Not to mention the glass diamonds that are used to trap people, even tea and soap are not bought.

I gave two hundred taels of opening gift money, and I had a good time.

slipped under his pig-killing knife, so Zhao Kang paid extra attention.

"Don't dare to advise."

Li Yuan drank a cup of tea, then went to pour the tea again, thinking very simply, can this guy drink simple tea?

It's cheap, it's not white!

Li Yuandao: "This time I came to Yuanjiang County, it was really an eye-opener for Li, Yuanjiang County is far more fertile than ordinary state capitals, and even the imperial capital is not as good as it." ”

"All of this is the work of the national teacher, and Li Mou's trip is actually not for anything else, I just want to ask the adult."

Li Yuan's eyes became serious as he spoke: "How many things like gunpowder that can produce powerful destructive power are there in Yuanjiang County?" ”

Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows: "Lord Li is here for the war?" ”

"So to speak."

Li Yuan nodded, sighed and said, "We have been weak for too long, and we are surrounded by strong enemies. The matter of Yunshan Iron Mine has been settled, but the three countries will definitely not sit idly by and watch this huge vein fall into the hands of our Qianguo. ”

"I have a hunch that in the near future, we will inevitably fight a big war. Don't hide it from the national teacher, Xia Guan and His Majesty discussed a lot some time ago, and mobilized a few soldiers and horses, just to keep an eye on Zhou and Qi. ”

Zhao Kang listened carefully: "Lord Li, to what extent has the gunpowder of the military department been used?" ”

"The department in charge of ordnance in the army is researching and has been able to control the time of the explosion of gunpowder, and the current method is nothing more than tying gunpowder to arrows or throwing spears and throwing it to kill and injure the enemy."

Li Yuandao: "But the distance of this kind of killing is limited after all, and a soldier who can't control us well will also be affected." ”

Zhao Kang hummed and offered a few ideas: "What if you bury the gunpowder in the ground and wait until the enemy's cavalry charges and detonates?" ”

Li Yuan's eyes lit up: "This idea is good. ”

Zhao Kang said: "In addition, it can be used to defend the city when the enemy army is attacking the city. ”

Li Yuan nodded again and again, exclaiming in his heart, this guy's idea is really strange!

After talking about the use of explosives in succession, Zhao Kang said: "Lord Li, there is nothing more powerful than black powder in Yuanjiang County now. ”

"However, the insiders are also studying, and when there is progress, the two of us will discuss it."

"That's very good."

Li Yuan nodded with a smile, and then said: "The national teacher is now a marquis and worships the prime minister, and he can be hereditary, it is foreseeable that after the news of returning to the imperial capital spreads, there will not be a few people who want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix." ”

Zhao Kang smiled bitterly: "I'm the most troublesome headache for this kind of thing, they are all characters with heads and faces, and it's not good to refuse anyone." ”

began to muttered in his heart, it seems that this is Li Yuanlai's true purpose.

Li Yuan snorted: "The situation of the national teacher is very similar to that of Li Mou, once he doesn't grasp it well, it is very likely to offend a large number of people invisibly, but I didn't have such a high authority as the national teacher back then." ”

"Then according to Master Li, what should I do?" Zhao Kang said in obedience.

Li Yuan smiled and looked at Zhao Kang: "Then naturally if you want to offend, you will offend them all, and if you want to take advantage of one, don't think about running away." ”

"Taught." Zhao Kang nodded.

The two of them, one old and one young, were a little forgetful, and after chatting for a while, Li Yuan got up to say goodbye.

Walking out of the county government and looking back, when he returned to the imperial capital to see Zhao Kang's attitude, he almost knew what His Majesty was going to do.

If that's what you think, that's interesting.

Li Yuan left, Zhao Kang sat on the chair and recalled what Li Yuan said earlier, this guy is not a simple person.

I came to test myself, or Her Majesty's thoughts.

Zhao Kang has never regarded others as idiots and fools, especially old fritters like Li Yuan, who have been in the court for more than ten or twenty years.

The qualifications and knowledge of the other party are not something he can take lightly.

But judging by the previous conversation, this guy won't be an enemy at least.

Looking up at the sky, night was gradually falling.

Zhao Kang smiled, now that he has walked out of Yuanjiang County, the future will not be as leisurely as before.

But this kind of taste, it's also pretty good.

"Zhang Long!"

"I'm here, sir."

Zhao Kang: "You go and invite His Royal Highness the prince to me, and say that my old Zhao wants to do great things with him." ”

If you want to rectify the clan, how can you do it without a master who can resist it?

Although he is a national teacher, he is also a lonely person!

Soon, Zhang Long found His Royal Highness the prince who was wandering around the street, and this lord had a good time in the past two days.

I don't know what to do in the city all day long.

I heard that Zhao Kang was going to do big things by himself, so he came to the county office without saying a word.

After Zhang Long left, before Zhao Kang could speak, Xiao Xuance said mysteriously: "Lao Zhao asked you something." ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Zhao Kang looked at Xiao Xuance in some surprise.

Xiao Xuance: "Where did you go to that little bookstall in Yuanjiang County?" ”

"What little bookstall?" Zhao Kang was stunned.

His Royal Highness the Prince's face was slightly red, and his voice was even lower: "It's just, it's the little bookstall in the corner of West Street when I came last time, what kind of big dry goddess records are being sold, why is the young Akang and the like missing this time?" ”
