Chapter 188: Family Misfortune
The sentence that people are in good spirits on happy occasions is a good confirmation of Pang Xiaobei at this time. Under Xiao Meow's angry gaze, Xiao Pang shamelessly sucked the noodles, while still dancing with Lu Chen to report the details of educating Cai Zhaoji last night, completely ignoring the murderous gaze of Liu Bao, who was standing guard a few meters away.
Lu Chen saw that Liu Leopard's teeth were bulging, shaking and shaking, full of rhythm, it seems that this is the so-called gnashing of teeth.
At this time, Liu Bao's little brother, the absolute large intestine, small intestine and duodenum were all repentant, and he couldn't wait to immediately pull out a knife and chop this ugly thing alive, and then looked up to the sky and yelled: "That's the inheritance left to me by my father!" Actually ruined by your fat dog! ”
Pang Tong didn't have a glance at Liu Bao at all, I have to say that Brother Tong is really a rare talent, and his skin is thick enough to make the city wall of Ma Yi ashamed of himself.
Stacking the five licked empty bowls into a high stack, crumbling, Pang Tong glanced at the last small bowl of noodles that Xiao Meow was holding onto, and then stretched out his hand. Seeing that Lu Chen's eyes were not good, and he seemed to be about to poke him with chopsticks, Pang Tong reacted quickly, and the fat claws that stretched out to Xiao Meow's noodle bowl drew an arc, circled around Xiao Meow's head and patted it, and then retracted. Then, Pang Tong swallowed his saliva and smiled at Lu Chen.
After taking a sip of the yogurt that he usually didn't dare to touch, Pang Tong suddenly sighed.
Lu Chen, who was a little disgusted by Pang Tong's overly detailed description of the goods, couldn't eat anymore, and when he saw Pang Tong suddenly sighing, he couldn't help but wonder: "You just won a lot of battles in the city, what kind of anger are you sighing?" ”
"It's stressful!" Pang Tong came up with such a sentence without a head or a brain. Then he put out a signature cheap smile with a shy face, and asked Lu Chen, "Xiao Junhou, Yanmen is also on the right track, you see, are you giving me a boost?" ”
"Humph! Rising profits? How's your job going? ”
Although Lu Chen didn't have any evil thoughts about Cai Zhaoji, he respected her knowledge and cultivation very much, at most, he just wanted to use the influence of the Cai family to attract more talents for Yanmen. That's all. But for Pang Tong, this obscene goods. The almost insulting act of forcible occupation still made Lu Chen very uncomfortable, and the most disgusting thing was that this product actually reported to Lu Chen with a little ostentatiousness. Choosing the cruel and wicked. Although Lu Chen also likes to listen to it. But I always feel a little sick.
"Hey, little gentleman, I have only three tasks. It's all done successfully! Pang Tong argued, "First, I am in charge of intelligence and plus the management of the Flying Dragon's secret spies, and the intelligence of the Xiongnu, Xianbei and even Yuan Cao's battles, all of which are well known, very successful!" Second, the iron-smelting plant, the Ordnance Bureau, and the Shenhuo Battalion have been managed, the iron-smelting plant has been basically completed, the blacksmiths and workers have been replenished, the production efficiency of stirrups and horseshoes of the Ordnance Bureau has been greatly improved after the use of new charcoal furnaces, and the improved design of artillery projectiles has also progressed rapidly, and the improvement of gunpowder, artillery, and mines in the Shenhuo Battalion has also been very effective and quite powerful. If you don't believe it, ask Liu Bao, he has the most right to speak! ”
As he spoke, Pang Tong pointed to the side matter-of-factly, and Liu Bao, who was vivisecting Pang Tong in his mind, was stunned for a moment, then his face was slightly red, and he turned his head away.
Pang Tong is a human spirit, of course he knows that Liu Bao is very unhappy with him, so he doesn't forget to tease Liu Bao in addition to this thing.
Of course, Lu Chen wouldn't ask Liu Bao how he felt, this guy was already very pitiful, and he probably felt cold in his heart after losing his father's "inheritance". Although he is still in the internship period, no matter how he says it, Liu Bao can be regarded as taking refuge in Lu Chen now, and he can't be too biased in his decision.
Pang Tong also snorted obscenely, and continued to get to the point: "The third one is more relaxed, isn't it just for me to fool some young and brainless scholars to come to Yanmen?" The first wave of more than a dozen has arrived, right? The second wave is also fast, and the quality is obviously much higher than the first wave, one of them is named Li Rui, and there is also a child of the clan, who seems to be called Liu Wei. I called these all! So, little gentleman, I've done a good job! Besides, being an official in other places does not rely on money but oil and water, but you also know our Yanmen......"
"Alright, alright! I won't say anything else, as far as the efficiency of your Wyvern spy is concerned, you are embarrassed to boast? It takes seven or eight days to send a piece of information from Beihai to Yanmen, where is the information of this meow? It's clearly historical data! "Regarding Pang Tong's boasting, Lu Chen naturally wants to curb it and want to raise his salary? No way!
"Boss, are you kidding me? Beihai to Yanmen more than 1,000 miles! Being able to deliver a message in a few days is already the limit! "I've been with Lu Chen for a long time, and Pang Tong's language is also very modern.
"Really? So I asked you to train the pigeons, and what was the result? ”
"It's stewed."
"What?"
"It's stewed. Those pigeons are too stupid to teach, and then I stewed him. I'm going to go to Jiangnan to find some smarter pigeons, there are more pigeons over there. ”
“……”
Lu Chen is very, very unhappy, this Pang Tong is too unreliable, and the stewed pigeon soup is not called Lao Tzu! Is it tolerable or unbearable! For this reason, Lu Chen resolutely will not give Pang Tong a salary increase.
To say that the history of carrier pigeons is very long, both China and the West have experience in raising and sending letters in BC, but the spread is not widespread, and Lu Chen did not find that there were pigeons in the late Han Dynasty to send letters, so he had to send people to study it.
In the end, Lu Chen denied Pang Tong's request for a salary increase, and Pang Tong sighed.
Lu Chen thought for a while and asked, "Is it that your two concubines are coming from Xiangyang?" ”
Pang Tong shook his head: "No." ”
"Didn't you say you're going to pick them up?"
"Well, it's almost winter, it's cold in the north, I'll write to them to come back next year."
"Isn't this going to be heated by a kang in your house soon?"
"Uh...... Anyway, I'll come back next year. Ay? Are my two concubines coming, and you will give me a raise? ”
"Didn't think about giving you a raise. They didn't come, is it because of Cai Zhaoji? ”
"That's not it, the main thing is that I suddenly have three sons, if they let them know, they won't have to tie me up? The stakes are significant. ”
"Oh, huh? That's not right! Lu Chen first nodded in understanding, after all, there was such an inhumane tendency in Zhen Mi, but then Lu Chen was surprised, tilted his head and asked, "Didn't Cai Zhaoji only give birth to two sons?" ”
"Yes! One is three years old, and the other is one year old. Pang Tong replied.
"Where did the three sons come from?" Lu Chen said in surprise.
"Hey......" Pang Tong shook his head and sighed.
"Isn't it, you've sown seeds after working hard all night?" Lu Chen asked, "That's not counting, why are you so sure that this seed can take root and sprout?" ”
Pang Tong shook his head again.
Lu Chen wondered: "Where did the extra one come from?" ”
"Pang Tong, your uncle!"
At this moment, a burst of shouts came, but Liu Bao, who couldn't bear it anymore, was angry, and there was quite a force that wanted to come up to overturn Pang Tong's posture, but was stopped by the other two Lu Chen's personal soldiers. Rao is like this, he is still flying and kicking in the air, not discouraged, as if he is ready to use internal force to kill Pang Xiaopang from a distance.
Pang Tong glanced at Liu Bao and smiled at Lu Chen: "The family is unlucky!" ”
Lu Chen's heart suddenly a million grass and mud horses galloped by, and his expression was slightly frightened: "I, I, I am speechless......" (to be continued......)
