"Husband, you ...... You're talking nonsense, aren't you? ”

Huang Yueying stammered.

"Yes, how could Sister Yueying go to a place like the Ordnance Division?"

Da Qiao was also surprised.

The atmosphere of the Han Dynasty, although not as strict as the Ming Dynasty in later generations, women can also show their heads at will.

But there has never been a woman who can be a court official.

That's why after hearing Hua Xiong's words, they were so surprised.

"Why can't she go?"

Hua Xiong asked rhetorically.

"Uh...... Because Sister Yueying is a woman. ”

Big Joe explained.

"Then why can't a woman be an official of the court?"

Da Qiao couldn't answer this time, so he could only look at Huang Yueying.

"But since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be a court official."

Hua Xiong suddenly smiled,

"Since there is no precedent before, it is a precedent starting with you."

Huang Yueying was speechless.

She felt that Hua Xiong's doing this was absolutely shocking.

"Yueying, don't think about anything else.

Just tell me if you'd like to join the Ordnance Division and use your talents. ”

Hua Xiong looked at Huang Yueying with blazing eyes.

Huang Yueying hesitated for a moment, and finally her love for the technique overwhelmed the concerns in her heart.

She nodded heavily.

"I do."

"That's good, I'll take care of everything."

Hua Xiong laughed.

At this moment, Zhou Cang hurriedly walked in from outside.

"My lord, Ding Shuai, the director of the Ordnance Department, and several military advisors and generals are already waiting in the front hall."

"Got it."

Hua Xiong nodded at him, turned around and said,

"Yueying, you are waiting for my good news here."

He stood up and followed Zhou Cang towards the front hall.

Vestibule.

Ding Shuai, Guo Jia, Xu Huang and other military generals are waiting patiently.

Seeing Hua Xiong coming, they all stood up and saluted him.

"Meet the Lord!"

"Excuse me."

Hua Xiong waved his hand and sat down in the main seat.

The others also took their separate seats.

"My lord, do you have any instructions for calling me here today?"

Ding Shuai said suspiciously.

"I called you here today to introduce you to a master who is proficient in mechanical arts."

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

Ding Shuai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said,

"That couldn't be better, my lord. What I'm lacking the most here is a trap master. ”

"Then let's talk about it first, you are not allowed to refuse."

Hua Xiong pretended to be a mysterious tunnel.

"How could I excuse myself? It's too late for me to be happy. ”

Ding Shuai smiled disapprehantly.

"Good. The person I am going to introduce to the Ordnance Department is my wife, Huang Yueying. ”

As soon as these words came out, the front hall suddenly fell silent, as if a needle could be heard.

Everyone looked at Hua Xiong in surprise, and their eyes were a little confused.

"Lord, aren't you joking with me?"

Ding Shuai said cautiously.

"You think I'm joking with you."

Hua Xiong gave him a blank look.

"But...... The status of the master mother is noble, let her go to the Ordnance Department, it is not in accordance with the etiquette system......"

Ding Shuai slurred and said.

Although he said it tactfully, the meaning of his words was very clear, and there was no way to let Huang Yueying join the Ordnance Division.

First of all, Huang Yueying is a woman, and the Ordnance Department is a department of the imperial court.

From ancient times to the present, no woman has been able to join the imperial court.

Secondly, Huang Yueying is Huaxiong's woman, and her status is extremely noble.

If she joins the Military Intelligence Department, Ding Shuai doesn't know what to do.

"You don't have to pay attention to this thing."

Hua Xiong waved his hand.

Ding Shuai looked embarrassed, so he had to cast a look at Guo Jia and them next to him for help.

Guo Jia, Li Ru, and Jia Xu exchanged glances.

Immediately, Guo Jia coughed lightly and stood up,

"My lord, I don't think it's appropriate."

"What's wrong?"

"Since ancient times, a woman's lack of talent is virtue. No woman has ever been able to show her head or even become a court official.

This will inevitably attract criticism......"

Guo Jia said softly.

"Yes, such a shocking act must have made those counselors seize the handle and attack the lord in a big way."

Li Ru also persuaded with good intentions.

Hua Xiong smiled and pointed to Ding Shuai on the side and said,

"Ding Shuai was a lowly member of the army before, didn't I just pull him up and serve as the head of the first division?"

"Although he is from a low background, he is a man after all......"

Jia Xu sighed.

"Say no more."

Hua Xiong shook his head and said,

"I've made up my mind. Tomorrow, I will ask my wife to report to the Ordnance Department.

When the time comes, you can treat her as an ordinary subordinate and give her orders at will. ”

Ding Shuai looked helpless, so he had to nod his head.

"Alright, you all stand down first."

Hua Xiong immediately stood up and walked away.

Looking at his back, Guo Jia and the others glanced at each other, all with helpless expressions on their faces.

"You say, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, lord?"

"I don't know. But what I can be sure of is that if the lord's move is known to the world, I am afraid that it will cause the dissatisfaction of those old pedants in the imperial court! ”

"It's okay, you can only take one step at a time."

……

The next day, under the arrangement of Hua Xiong, Huang Yueying came to the Ordnance Department and took up her post smoothly.

The position that Hua Xiong arranged for her was Ding Shuai's deputy.

For her new job, Huang Yueying is very satisfied.

I went to the Ordnance Department on time every day to report, and even brought the unfinished manuscript back to the room for study.

A few days later, Hua Xiong got up on a whim and went to the Ordnance Department to see Huang Yueying's situation.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Ordnance Division, he saw Huang Yueying discussing something with Ding Shuai and the others.

In front of them was a strange-looking chariot.

It looked like a wooden cart with a huge box on it.

And in the direction of the front of the car, dozens of arrows with a cold light poked out of the box.

"What is this?"

Hua Xiong asked.

Seeing Hua Xiong's arrival, everyone present hurriedly saluted Hua Xiong.

"Meet the Lord!"

Huang Yueying also saluted Hua Xiong in the same way, and when she saw Hua Xiong looking at her, she showed a mischievous smile.

"Returning to the lord, this thing is called a retort machine, and it can shoot dozens of arrows in a row.

Compared to the commonly used repeater car, the transfer machine is more flexible and can adjust the direction. ”

Ding Shuai replied.

Hua Xiong circled around the machine and couldn't help but nod.

To put it bluntly, this thing is a large Wenhou repeater, but compared to the Wenhou repeater, it is much more powerful.

And it can shoot dozens of arrows in a row, which is also incomparable to Wenhou's crossbow.

"It's powerful, it's cleverly conceived, it's breathtaking."

Hua Xiong praised, his eyes noticing, Huang Yueying on the side showed a smug expression on his face.

He snickered in his heart and asked deliberately,

"Ding Shuai, could it be that you developed it?"

"No, this is a research and invention by Deputy Director Huang, and I just provided some suggestions for improvement."

Ding Shuai hurriedly said.
