Chapter 200: Honoring the Father's Orders and Sons' Border Defense (XXII)

"That's it...... That's it? Garruk's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

The big flowers that children play with in later generations are more energetic than this, right?

The others were also confused, but Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, it was good to fight, safe!

"This ...... How long has this gunpowder been stored? "Even a fool can tell that there is something wrong with the gunpowder.

Wang Jian looked at Lao Qintou again, and Lao Qintou said: "I want to be younger than the villain, but this gunpowder is not because it has been left for a long time, but because it ...... I just sent it from the beginning. ”

Wang Jian looked even more relaxed when he heard this, this was the pot of his last few commanders, and it had nothing to do with him, a little Mengxin.

Jia Lu was shocked, the gunpowder sent to the front-line military city was unusable?

"No one reacted to their superiors at that time? Datong Mansion won't be replaced? ”

"I also changed it a few times, but the ones that were replaced back were almost the same, so I didn't change them, and gradually this firearm was no longer used." Old Qin Tou replied.

Wang Jian thought that there was nothing wrong with him, and said with a smile: "Then the ambassador will try slowly?" I still have some official business to deal with, so I won't accompany me for the time being. ”

Jia Lu said: "My lord, it is important that this gunpowder cannot be used, since my lord has appointed me to be in charge of the Wucang, I have to be responsible for the weapons stored in the warehouse.

My lord, do you think you should ask the convoy that came to deliver supplies this time to bring a letter to the envoy of Datong Jiedu, asking him to transfer some more gunpowder? ”

"This ......" Wang Jian couldn't help but look at Guo Cheng on the side.

Although Jia Lu was in a deliberative tone, Wang Jian was also unhappy for a while.

Since he arrived, no one has dared to dictate him so much and teach him how to do things.

But Jia Lu, a little kid, is the person the emperor asks to take care of, and he can't refuse yet.

Guo Cheng looked at the sky with an expression that didn't care about himself.

Wang Jian had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll mention this matter to the envoy of Jiedu......"

After that, he scolded in his heart.

Jia Lu looked at the gunpowder in the horn cartridge and was silent.

"Dare to ask who this little brother is?" Old Qin Tou obviously didn't understand Jia Lu's identity.

"I'm the new ambassador of Cang." As he spoke, Garlu poured out a little gunpowder on the ground and lit it with a fire breaker.

The gunpowder emitted a puff of green smoke and began to sizzle, but it did not have that kind of roaring effect, and it was as mild as a candle flame.

That's a match, isn't it? Low potassium nitrate?

Old Qin Tou said: "The ambassador doesn't have to try, there is too little saltpeter in this gunpowder, so it can only be like this." ”

Jia Lu frowned and said, "Since you all know that there is less saltpeter, why don't you rematch it?" ”

Old Qin Tou said: "Doesn't the ambassador know that saltpeter is a medicinal herb?" ”

Jia Lu was speechless for a while, what did Lao Qin Tou mean that the gunpowder that could not be detonated deliberately sent by Datong Mansion was because the saltpeter was sold as medicinal materials?

It's not new to deduct military salaries and drink soldiers' blood, and poor gunpowder dares to cheat military supplies, so it's a little bolder!

Have the border armies been rotted to this point? It's no wonder that last time, a few thousand people from the Tumut Department were able to drive straight into several county towns.

Old Qin Tou saw that Jia Lu frowned and was silent, and couldn't help but regret a little that he was talking too much.

A teenager can come to manage the warehouse, and if you think about it, there may not be any background behind it, these officials and gentlemen are all connected, and their nonsense may not be spread anywhere.

But think about it again, what can you do with him when you are old?

Immediately, he was relieved and was going to go.

Jia Lu stopped and said, "Hey, old Qintou, if you're okay, how about I invite you to drink at night?" ”

Old Qin Tou was startled, and hurriedly said, "What kind of person is the villain?" Where do you dare to eat and drink with adults? ”

Jia Lu said: "You are the old man here, I came out here just to hear the allusion of Xuande City, and tell me about it in a while." ”

Then he didn't care whether Lao Qin Tou agreed or not, and called Guo Chengdao: "Brother Guo, together~"

Guo Cheng also hurriedly said: "The master only arrived today, the villain should have set up wine for the adult to catch the wind and wash the dust, how dare you let the adult break the bank?" ”

He was ordered to protect Jia Lu closely, so naturally he had to get along with Jia Lu before the situation would be good in the future, and Jia Lu would still have to appreciate it for a meal.

Jia Lu had already taken out a dime of silver from his purse and said, "Then I bother you to buy some wine and food, and how about we have a few drinks in my yard?" ”

Early the next morning, Wang Jian, who hadn't slept well all night, asked someone to invite Guo Cheng over.

"What is Commander Wang's order for calling me?" Guo Cheng arched his hand and saluted.

Wang Jian smiled and invited Guo Cheng to sit down, and exchanged a few words of greeting, but the maid came up with a tray covered with a red cloth.

Wang Jian said: "Guo Guards came from afar, and there is nothing that can be done in the poor mountains of Xuande City. ”

Guo Cheng knew at a glance that there must be some gold and silver under the red cloth, so he pushed it away with a smile and said:

"Why is the king commanding you? The villain is not a guard now, but just a small officer under you, please be cautious.

No merit is not punished, you don't dare to receive it, please don't embarrass the villain! ”

Wang Jian didn't expect Guo Cheng to refuse so decisively, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Guo Chengyin thought that he would have to stay in the ghost place of Xuande City for a year or two before someone would come to replace him, and he didn't want to deal with Wang Jian too well.

Because of the smile: "Don't blame the king's command, the villain is also acting on orders, and he doesn't dare to make extraneous branches."

If you have anything to say, you just have to say it, you don't have to see it like this, the villain who can help will definitely help. ”

When Wang Jian heard Guo Cheng's words, he seemed to have room for reversal, so he smiled and said: "Although this official is also a eunuch here, he can be regarded as a landlord."

should have done a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, but I don't know what this Jia Gongzi likes, so he wants to ...... with Guo Brother Guo asks for an idea. ”

Wang Jian really didn't know what Jia Lu was doing.

If it was because the last time the Tumut Department committed the border court and wanted to rectify the corruption of the border army, why did he send a large internal guard to protect him?

Yawen Library

also deliberately told not to reveal the true identity of the guard, as if to hide something.

But as soon as Jia Lu came, he put on a businesslike appearance, which made Wang Jian a little scared.

Although the corruption of the entire Nine Sides is already a well-known thing to passers-by, how many festival envoys have come to the door, and which of the old men of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War of the DPRK and Central Committee has not received a piece of the pie?

Why do you want to send a child to this place?

At the beginning, Wang Jian spent money to donate an official, and it cost thousands of taels of silver to rank up such a poor mountain and bad water.

hasn't recovered the capital yet, but as a result, such a thing happened, and Wang Jian also lamented that he was not good for the year.

As long as he can buy off this unknown Jia Gongzi, Wang Jian is willing to spend some money.
