Chapter 144: I Want Guards Too

The teacher just calculated the amount of money that the shop could collect, and planned to turn Xiao Jiu and Grandma's bed into a place to store their money, so that they could hold on for a while. The next day, the ancestor took Xiao Jiu out of the house, and the grandmother and everyone began to clean up their own residence, the original grandmother wanted to live directly with Xiao Jiu, but the teacher begged the grandmother to live with them, when the grandmother saw that the bed of the two people was full of silver, the grandmother was shocked and speechless, and finally heard the two of them say that they also had to put silver under their own bed, and the grandmother agreed to live with the two, and as a result, under the command of the teacher, the grandmother's bed was built into a huge bed that could sleep four people. Grandma couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "This is building a bed for silver." ”

Xiao Jiu and the old ancestor came to the barracks, and saw the general standing at the door of the big tent waiting for the two, the two came to the big tent, and the general said: "During this time, I have purchased several shops in the imperial city, and now they have all been cleaned up, I don't know what the son's plans are." ”

Xiao Jiu looked at the position pointed by the general on the map, thought for a while, and said: "This one specializes in porcelain, and the price is positioned according to the price of breaking the loss." The name is called porcelain and residence. Then he pointed to another one and said, "I'll open a pharmacy here to sell all kinds of medicines, and when I'm done, I'll bring the pictures of the things I need and make them ready before opening them." Let's call it Ciheju. What is the situation in other cities? What is the purchase of the shop?"

The general said: "There have been more than 20 restaurants and residences in China, and the operation is very good, and there have been many letters saying that they have purchased real estate, waiting for us to arrange." As long as this place moves, the rest of the world will follow suit. In addition, the personnel that Childe asked me to select have been selected, and I don't know what arrangements Childe has. ”

Xiao Jiu took out a bunch of cans and said, "This is the ingredient in the back." Tell the people who are going to send them to find some wood nuts, and I'll make them a dish and let them pass it on. Then he asked, "How are the houses and things built in my big yard, and how long will it take to complete them?" said the general that it would be ready for use in five or six days.

The general thought for a moment. Finally, he made up his mind and asked: "I have seen some of the drawings you asked the sergeant to take, and they can be used to make compound bows, but there are still many things that I can't understand, and I really can't think of the use of the small iron pieces that I made, so I can tell me first, so I can understand first." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu didn't speak, he took out a few pieces of cloth directly from his bag, looked at it, and picked out one from it. Put it on the table and said: "This is the most formable thing of the small iron piece, you look at how handsome and majestic this looks." As he spoke, he opened the diagram.

When the old ancestor and the general saw it, the renderings of a complete set of armor were drawn on the picture, which was made by Xiao Jiu according to the equipment of the Song Dynasty and made some modifications, which looked mighty and beautiful, especially the more the general looked at it, the more he loved it. I can't wait to pull the pickpocket off the picture and immediately get on the body. After being greedy for a while, he shouted: "I'm urging them to speed up the progress now, and make a set for me first." I've got over the cravings first. It's so pretty, I don't know what it's like to wear it. ”

The old ancestor asked, "Is this set of armor too heavy?" ”

Xiao Jiu said: "Now I don't know how heavy Lu Dao actually is, but one thing is certain, it will not be heavier than the current equipment, and the defensive strength will be stronger than the current one." ”

The old ancestor said: "As long as it is equal to the current weight, it has been successful." ”

Xiao Jiu asked, "I seem to have heard that we are all equipped with our own guards, why don't I have them." Why don't you have any old age, do you want to say anything about the guards?"

The old ancestor smiled and said to Xiao Jiu: "You want to match the guards, and you will not be matched until you are adults and graduate from the Royal Academy." For example, your eldest brother can have five thousand guards, and you will only have a maximum of a thousand in the future. I didn't ask for a guard because I was too troublesome, and there is no limit to the number of people I have, why do you ask this?"

Xiao Jiu said: "I want 5,000 guards, and I want to train my own troops." I don't care about it anymore, grandpa, you always have to find a way, and I have to choose the personnel myself. ”

The old ancestor said: "This matter is easy to do, now the two of us will enter the palace, let your Lao Tzu write something out, and hand it over to your second uncle in the military department, and the matter will be over." If you follow the normal rules, there is no way to do it, so let's go now. ”

The general said: "You haven't taught the back dishes yet, everyone is waiting here outside, this is not a joke." As he spoke, he pulled the two of them out, and saw a cart full of wooden nuts that were pulling things, and asked the sergeant: "The shell of this wooden fruit is very hard and big, and we all use it as utensils for holding things in the barracks, and we usually put a lot of them." After the sergeant finished speaking, Xiao Jiu asked the sergeant to hug two and walked towards the cooking place.

When he came to the cooking place, Xiao Jiu asked the sergeant to completely break the two big heads of wood nuts from the middle, take out more than half of the flesh inside, and then bake the wind howl in the dinner prepared for the general, take two and put them into the shell of the wood fruit, and then close them and seal them with the peel, let the sergeant put them on the fire and roast them again, and so that the shell of the roasted wood fruit has dried thoroughly, let the sergeant take it down and open it, and suddenly the original aroma plus the fruity flavor of the wood fruit shows another fragrance, and everyone is drooling and sucking. Xiao Jiu said: "After coming out, you still have to put it in the porcelain plate, which is more attractive, and tell them that if it can be sealed better, you can add some water to it, and then put it in the porcelain basin, and put a little green vegetable shreds, which is even more beautiful." ”

Everyone said: This has made us salivate constantly, what else do we want to look at. Xiao Jiu asked everyone if they understood, and everyone nodded. Xiao Jiu then left with the old ancestor. The two of them took the car directly to the palace to find Xiao Jiu's father, and according to the place pointed by the forbidden army standing guard, the two came to the emperor's chamber. This is the place where the emperor usually works, and it is also a place to discuss important confidential matters. At this time, there was a quarrel from inside. Xiao Jiu signaled to wait, the two of them pricked up their ears and listened for a while, and the old ancestor snorted angrily: "These families are becoming more and more presumptuous, and they have even begun to pinch the emperor in major matters, and they are openly bargaining for the interests of their own family. The forbidden army standing guard was also as if he hadn't seen it.

The father of Xiao Jiu in it, the current emperor, was bargaining with the people who held the real power in front of him with a headache, and suddenly saw a person standing in front of him, blocking in front of him, raised his head and was about to scold, when he saw that it was the old ancestor and hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandpa, why are you here." Is there anything urgent?"

When the ancestor came in, everyone closed their mouths neatly, although the ancestor abdicated and gave way, but the iron and bloody wrist of the reign is still being talked about. Seeing that the face of the old ancestor was not good, he stood dumbly in his respective positions.

The old ancestor whispered his intentions, and the emperor was stunned, what kind of thing did this grandfather do. When the old ancestor saw that his grandson was slow, he couldn't help but stare at him, and the frightened grandson hurriedly took out the scroll that had been framed and pasted for the emperor, and when the scroll was opened. Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly reached out to grab the scroll, the old ancestor was startled, and hurriedly hugged Xiao Jiu to see what Xiao Jiu was doing. Xiao Jiu just eagerly grabbed at the scroll. The old ancestor unceremoniously grabbed the scroll and put it in Xiao Jiu's arms. The emperor's father didn't know what was wrong with his son. Just as he was about to stand up and retrieve the emperor's scroll from his son's hand. The old ancestor glared at him and said, "Take something, take another one out and write it." Seeing that Xiao Jiu deliberately compared the paintings on his body, he said: "This is to make clothes for my great-grandson." After speaking, he waited for his grandson to write, stamped his seal, took the scroll and left the place of discussion.

Walking on the road where there was no one, the ancestor was just about to ask. Xiao Jiu said: "Grandpa, where did the silk silk in this scroll come from, is there a place for weaving this kind of silk silk, and how many such silk silk can be produced every year." As he spoke, he carefully looked at the thin layer of silk fabric covering the cloth again. Definitely.

The old ancestor said: "This is a few special things for the emperor, you ask what this is for, because its output is very low, and the practice is not passed on, so it is only used for writing, and nothing can be used." As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Jiu with puzzled eyes.

Xiao Jiu said: "I just want to look at the tools they use, not the methods." ”

The old ancestor said: "This is also simple, I once brought a person who knows the utensils used by the Dao, and has made this utensils with his own hands, and will come to him one day." ”

Saying that he came to the military department, there was a guard standing at the door, and the one standing guard was still very bullish, and he was the second eldest of the big me, and when he saw someone coming, he hummed with his nostrils facing the sky. The ancestor looked like a child of the family, and he walked in through the back door to mix the army's salary, and walked into the door without paying attention. Who knew that this guy didn't know what medicine he had taken, so he took a step across, blocking the way that the old ancestor was going to go, and shouted in his mouth: "Heh, you old man is really too old, the old man is so dazzled that he can't even see people, I didn't see your uncle I was standing guard, I didn't even say hello and wanted to go in, you thought this was a casual stroll on the street, and hugged a little cub, old man, you went to the wrong place, get out." ”

The old ancestor was angry that his eyes were shining with blue light, and he didn't speak anymore, but just raised his hand to "snap" and slapped his face, and planted the guard to the side, and then walked into the gate of the military headquarters with one step. At this time, the pig who stood guard shouted like a pig: "Someone, someone slanders the emperor and tries to rebel, hurry up and arrest the assassin." ”

With the shout, Hu Lulu rushed out of the room on both sides of the gate more than a dozen sergeants dressed as forbidden soldiers, and at this time, there were already two in front of the old ancestor, ready to move. At this time, there was a loud shout: "Stop, who dares to do it." At this time, a very strong man hurriedly came to the old ancestor and saluted: "Old ancestor, why did you come here, what is the urgency that let you come here in person." As he spoke, he was about to let the old ancestor inside, and the old ancestor looked at the strong man, and he didn't say a word, just looked at it coldly.

The strong man said helplessly to the old ancestor: "This is the person who was arranged by the Shangtu family, who is usually very horizontal, and no one dares to take care of it, so that it has become this virtue." ”

The old ancestor said: "Isn't there a rule that no one in the family is allowed to enter the forbidden army?" ”

The strong man said: "It used to be like this, but now the people in the family are trying to find a way to arrange the people in their own family, and there is no one in the way." ”

The old ancestor sneered and said, "Go and cut off his head." ”

The strong man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said I can't afford to mess with them, the old ancestor said: "Do you want to disobey the order, do you know your own results?" (to be continued......)
