Bo Jue's illness is not an incurable disease.

His illness can be cured, but it is not easy to cure.

Most of the medicinal materials used in the treatment are extremely expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot afford them.

Without Chen Wang's intervention, Bo Jue could only barely use cheap medicinal materials to continue his life, but in the end, he gradually exhausted his family wealth due to medical treatment, and died of poverty.

But now, with Chen Wang's interference, these things will naturally not happen.

Although Bo Jue has not completely recovered from his illness now, his condition has been relieved a lot.

Chen Wang sent more than ten people to Wumen to invite Bo Jue, bringing a total of more than 1,000 taels of silver, and the people sent were all cronies among cronies.

The person who led the team was Chen Guang, who was born in the Chen family of Guangning, and he could be called Chen Wang's cousin.

Chen Guang is not very old, only 20 years old.

and Chen Wang are brothers of the same ancestor and different fathers, Chen Wang's father is the third, and Chen Guang's father is the fourth.

The reason why Chen Wang let Chen Guang was because of this relationship, so he was relieved to let him invite Bo Jue with a lot of money.

A thousand taels of silver seems to be a small amount now, but in this year, many families only spend a dozen taels a year.

The soldiers of the nine sides are not deducted for a year, and the money for selling their lives is only eighteen taels a year.

It takes more than 50 years to save a thousand taels of silver without eating or drinking, how not to make people excited.

Except for Chen Guang, the rest of the people are basically people from the Chen and Hu clans, not only loyal and guaranteed, but also good at fighting.

After all, the threat is not only internal, but also more likely external, and it is difficult to guarantee problems all the way from Wumen to Hanzhong Mansion.

Chen Wang learned a lot from Cao Wenzhao, the most important of which was to plan and decide, so he considered everything comprehensively and acted extremely cautiously.

Chen Guang brought a total of thousands of taels of silver, no matter what kind of medicinal materials he bought or what kind of famous doctor he hired, it was already enough.

After arriving at Wumen, Chen Guang quickly found Bo Jue.

Wumen is not big, and Bo Jue is also a celebrity.

At that time, Bo Jue's situation was already quite bad, and seeking medical consultation had little effect, because of his illness, the family's already small assets went a lot, and he became more and more difficult.

Chen Guang first expressed his intentions, and then directly sent Cheng Yi a hundred taels.

At that time, the Bo family was almost at the end of the mountain, and the silver money sent by Chen Guang was undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow.

At that time, Bo Jue agreed to the solicitation and expressed his willingness to move into Hanzhong Mansion with his wife and children.

However, due to his illness, he still delayed a lot of time, and he didn't come to Hanzhong Mansion until the beginning of this year.

Bo Jue was placed in a three-hall mansion, in the southwest residential area of the city.

Tang Shiping originally wanted to send someone to summon Bo Jue to the official hall, but his actions were finally stopped by Chen Wang.

"Mr. Bo is not cured from a serious illness now, so there is no need to make him too tired."

Now there are not many technical talents that can be used under Chen Wang's hands, and the two craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau, Qi Zhengsong and Jiang Wanshan Calais, can be counted as two, and then there is no one.

Bo Jue can cast cannons, build telescopes, and also make waterwheels, firearms, mines, crossbows and other equipment, and is extremely proficient in civil and military equipment, and is a rare all-round talent.

If something goes wrong, there is no replacement at all.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the scientific and technological talents were basically either promoted or jinshi, and it was impossible for them to join Chen Wang's shogunate.

The most famous Xu Guangqi, he was a Jinshi in the Wanli period, an official to the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

The people who can make him a staff member can't find a single person in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Song Yingxing is not a jinshi, but he is also a lifter, and now he is serving as a magistrate in the Tingzhou Mansion of Fujian, a subordinate official under the provincial observation envoy, in charge of the prison of a government, and his status is not low.

During the Song and Ming dynasties, the status of military generals was extremely low.

As a lifter, how can he be a staff member for a military attaché?

Chen Wang knew where Song Yingxing was, but the reason why he didn't send someone to recruit Song Yingxing was because he knew that it was impossible to solicit him.

Bo Jue is not a person, just a talent, and he doesn't have any official status.

His identity is much worse than Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing, and he happened to encounter difficulties, which is why Chen Wang sent someone to recruit him.

Chen Wang came out of the Qianhu Official Hall and walked quickly all the way to the front of Bo Jue's mansion.

There were several soldiers on duty outside Bo Jue's mansion, and these soldiers were naturally there to protect Bo Jue's safety.

The soldiers who protected Bo Jue had a total of three flags, and the three flags were on duty for twelve hours, day and night.

Chen Wang had been in Suocheng for a long time, and he was also in charge of the training at the beginning, so most of the soldiers knew Chen Wang.

When the soldiers on duty saw Chen Wang coming, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Chen Wang didn't rush in, but let people pass the news first, and then waited for a while before entering the mansion.

The courtyard is quite spacious, the courtyard is clean and tidy, there are several small trees, some flowers and grass, and a stone table is placed under one of the trees.

Chen Wang didn't bring a group of guards in, but just let Tang Shiping, Wang Yuankang and Chen Guang follow and walked in.

One of the two main houses at the back of the courtyard is a central hall, which is a place for receiving guests.

There are several wooden chairs and square tables in the middle hall, the tables and chairs are quite clean, and the inside is neat and bright.

When Chen Wang walked into the middle hall and was still looking at the surrounding furnishings, he heard a slight footstep in the room.

Chen Wang turned his head to look inside, a man in his thirties, with clear eyebrows and a slightly pale face, had already appeared in his field of vision.

"The chief soldier came to the cold house, but he couldn't greet him in time, and I hope you will understand."

Chen Wang's heart moved slightly, knowing that this person should be Bo Jue.

Bo Jue's beard and clothes are extremely neat, wearing a black gauze Tang scarf on his head, a light blue robe with a collar, a dark silk silk around his waist, and cloud shoes and silk socks.

He walked with a slight fuss and difficulty, and was supported by a scholar wearing a small hat and a blue trim beside him.

"Mr. Pu is sick, so there is no need to be polite."

Chen Wang returned a salute, he never cared about these false gifts.

"Wumen is thousands of miles away from Hanzhong, and Mr. Pu is willing to come from afar to do his best for the country, which is already very nostalgic."

Chen Wang paid attention to Bo Jue, and Bo Jue was also looking at Chen Wang.

He already had a general understanding of Chen Wang.

At a young age, he has made great achievements, and now he is the head of a town, and he should be very vigorous.

But seeing each other now is a bit unexpected by Bo Jue.

Chen Wang's demeanor is moderate, his speech is gentle, his face is handsome, and his appearance is majestic and dignified.

It was completely different from the military attaches he had seen under Zhang Guowei's account.

is not like a military attache who fights on the battlefield, but more like a civil servant who lives in the government and holds the power of life and death.

It's just that the sharp edge that is revealed from time to time between Gu Pan reminds people of his identity as a military general.

"The chief soldier invited him to save the students from fire and water, even if it is thousands of miles away, the students also have a vision."

Bo Jue bowed respectfully and said sincerely.

He originally cast artillery for Zhang Guowei and repaired the army, but he did not receive much attention from Zhang Guowei at all.

In the post-war period, most of the promises were not fulfilled.

Disheartened, he said goodbye to Zhang Guowei and returned to Wumen's house.

Soon after, he contracted an illness and was unable to be treated for a long time, and the family's money was spent like flowing water, and there was no way to borrow money everywhere, and Zhang Guowei did not extend any help to him......

Just when he was about to completely despair and made up his mind to commit suicide, he didn't want to drag down his family anymore, someone knocked on his door.

Bo Jue didn't know how his name was known by Chen Wang, and his cannon casting for Zhang Guowei was not hyped up.

Chen Wang was thousands of miles away, but he sent someone to invite him with a lot of money to save him from the fire and water, avoiding the end of his family being ruined.

Walking all the way from Wumen to Hanzhong, he was strictly protected by a group of soldiers along the way, and did not receive the slightest danger.

After arriving in the city, he directly got a ready-made mansion, and everyone respected him, and even the soldiers of the Three Banners directly obeyed his command.

This kind of treatment is enough to see that Chen Wang attaches great importance to him.

"The courtesy of the chief soldier is really terrifying."

To be honest, Bo Jue felt that he was not worth the thousand taels of silver, nor did he deserve such a high treatment.

"Mr. Pu, don't be presumptuous."

Chen Wang saw Bo Jue's thoughts and said immediately.

"Now the Quartet is in turmoil, there are captives in the north and Kou in the south, and national affairs are difficult."

"Mr. Pu will cast cannons, make waterwheels, and build dams, all of which are in short supply in our army at present."

Chen Wang's face was solemn and he sighed lightly.

"The Ministry of Industry is seriously greedy for ink, and most of the firearms and armaments provided by military equipment in various localities are useless."

"The gun is shoddy, the explosion rate is extremely high, and the armor inside the armor is not even more than a hundred pieces, so it can't prevent the knife from slashing the gun, let alone the gun."

"Mr. Pu once cast a cannon in Anqing, and he should also know the inside story."

Bo Jue's expression was slightly dark, he was casting cannons for Zhang Guowei at the beginning, and the craftsmen in the workshop were naturally under his control.

Those craftsmen don't have enough to eat, and many of them can't make ends meet.

Officials at all levels are greedy for ink, and the rules and regulations in the workshop are often just a piece of paper, and the equipment made is rarely useful.

In order to be able to make suitable equipment, he even subsidized a lot of money himself, which was not compensated in the end.

"The wars in various places are becoming more and more frequent, the firearms in the Beiyu army are becoming more and more sharp, and there are a large number of rogues, and now there are only a few tiger squat guns and Francos in the army under my command."

"The northern captives are wearing heavy armor, the shield chariots are strong, the tiger squat artillery and the Francophone in our army can't penetrate at all, there are a large number of rogues, and the current firepower of our army is simply not enough to stop its onslaught."

"The purpose of inviting Mr. Pu over this time is precisely to cast guns and innovate weapons!"
