Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 253 Amazing Discovery

Although Chen Ying did not establish a government office, he also had the power to directly appoint officials.However, Chen Ying only has the right to recommend, not directly appoint, the official seal officials above the seventh rank.Zhengyin officials of the seventh rank and above need to be reviewed by the Ministry of Officials, which means that Chen Ying can recommend them, but whether to use or not, the decision-making power is not with Chen Ying, but with the Ministry of Officials.

The general manager of Lingzhou didn't have the establishment of the commander of the battalion at all. In the official system structure of the Tang Dynasty court, there was also no official position of the supervisor of the commander of the battalion.This official position is private, and the court will not recognize it.However, the Tang Dynasty court had generals as supervisors, with two supervisors, from the third rank, and two young supervisors, from the fourth rank.He is in charge of civil engineering and craftsmen, and is in charge of the left school, right school, lieutenant colonel, Zhenguan and other departments, and the supervisor of Baigong.

The official appointed by Chen Ying belongs to the prosecutor.It is temporary in nature, as long as it is outside the jurisdiction of Lingzhou General Manager, no one will admit it.The official positions of Zhao Haoxin, Xu Yiming and others belong to the auxiliary official position. This kind of official position is not a seal official, but a ministerial officer. It needs to be recommended by Chen Ying, and the court can report it.

After taking a bath, Ge Tong put on a black soft-footed toe that only officials are qualified to wear, a blue round-neck official robe, and black boots.In fact, the Futou, the official robe, and even the boots that Ge Tong wore were all Xu Jingzong's. Fortunately, the two of them are about the same in size, so they can be worn directly.

At this time, Ge Tong was beaming, his apprentice Zhao Wushang yelled at all the craftsmen for their work, seeing the black-faced man named Wei Meng who had just slapped Ge Tong, he was very upset. taste.

Wei Meng is an excellent blacksmith.He is good at making swords, guns and weapons. When it comes to making iron and steel, Wei Meng can beat Ge Tong by ten streets, but at this time Ge Tong has become an official.

Rather than saying that Wei Meng is jealous of Ge Tong, it is actually better to say that Wei Meng is more envious of Ge Tong.

"A... Father, this is a good opportunity. It is rare to see people like General Chen who value all kinds of crafts!" Wei Meng's son Wei Qiang carried a thing wrapped in black cotton cloth. At first glance, it looks like a shoulder pole, about six feet long and four fingers wide.

Wei Meng remained silent, with a troubled expression on his face, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

"Father?" Wei Qiang said bitterly, "Father, that old man Guo asked me for ten loads of betrothal gifts. You can offer this paddle blade to General Chen. It shouldn't be a problem to exchange ten loads of betrothal gifts, right?"

Wei Meng remained silent.

Wei Qiang said with a bluffing face: "Father, I am your only son, and Guo Hongying will not marry me. If I don't marry a daughter-in-law, you don't want to have a grandson. Our Wei family has lost its incense, so we can only blame it." Blame you!"

"What are you talking about!" Wei Meng said in displeasure, "What's so good about Mr. Guo's daughter, her face is full of pockmarks, I don't know what you like about her!"

Wei Qiang said stubbornly, "I don't care, anyway, it's not Guo Hongying who doesn't want to marry."

Wei Meng pointed at Wei Qiang and said, "It's not that you don't know, your father and I are at odds with Guo Laojia, and Guo Laojia's daughter is not made of gold, so why should he ask for ten loads of gifts? What is Guo Laojia thinking about? Don't you see it yet? He is forcing your father and me to bow down to him. "

"Okay, you don't want to give in, do you?" Wei Qiang said, "I'm going to find the Patriarch right now, and when I attack Yanmen Pass, I'll be a jumping soldier..."

The jumping soldiers are almost death squads. As long as you participate in the jumping soldiers, you are basically close to death.

"Alas...you can't do it!" Wei Meng stretched out his hand to carry the long stick wrapped in black cotton cloth, and walked towards Chen Ying's big tent.Came to Chen Ying's big tent of the Chinese army.

However, when Wei Meng came outside the big tent of the Chinese army, he found all acquaintances.The blacksmith Guo Laojiao who has the most trouble with Wei Meng is a strange work among blacksmiths. He makes iron as hard as possible to make steel as hard as possible. He accidentally found soft iron that is as soft as soup cake, so he is happy. Without getting tired, countless soft irons have been created.If you want soft iron to be useful, you can't even cut vegetables.

However, Guo Laojia still regards his soft iron as a treasure.

It is precisely because of the problem of soft iron that Wei Meng and Guo Laojia often quarrel, otherwise the two of them would have formed a family long ago, and their grandson might be soy sauced.

Seeing Wei Meng coming, Mr. Guo picked his nostrils and turned his nose to the sky, without even looking at Wei Meng.Wei Meng was so angry that he really wanted to hack Guo Laogou to death with the blade in his hand.

Zhao Haoxin, who was temporarily acting as the clerk of Chen Yingzhong's army, left the big tent and shouted loudly: "Guo Dahai, Guo Dahai, it's your turn!"

Guo Lao said with a smile on his face, "Here we come!"

Watching Mr. Guo enter the big tent in awe-inspiring manner, Wei Meng saw Wu Zhichao, a celebrity crossbow maker from Shuozhou. Wu Zhichao not only came by himself, but also brought a dozen apprentices, carrying a Wanjun crossbow.It is said that this Wanjun crossbow is made according to the ancestral secret method. (a kind of bed crossbow)
Of course, there was also Yan Shihu, an armor maker Wei Meng was familiar with, among the crowd. Yan Shihu’s ancestry was the order of the Nufangfang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.I dare not say it in other places, but in Shuozhou, if his armor made by strict masters and tigers is recognized as the second, absolutely no one will dare to recognize the first.

At this time, Yan Shihu was actually like Ge Tong, wearing a soft-footed toe on his head, and holding a pair of black boots in both hands.

Wei Meng walked up to Yan Shihu, cupped his hands towards Yan Shihu and said, "Master Yan has already met the general?"

Yan Shihu's eyes became a line of laughter and said: "Of course."

Wei Meng asked, "Did General Chen appoint you as an official?"

"Naturally!" Yan Shihu said with a smile: "Brother is not talented, now Tianwei Lingzhou will be in charge of Yingjiafang!"

"How many officials?"

"On the seventh grade!"

"Why are you under Ge Tong?" Wei Meng frowned.

Each line has the scale of each line. Although Ge Tong is somewhat famous in Shuozhou, he is definitely not as good as Yan Shihu.

Yan Shihu was not angry, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Wei, you don't understand this, right? Although Deputy Metropolitan Ge is the Deputy Metropolitan, from the sixth rank, he is older than me in name, you have seen that the Lord Bo can make people move County lieutenant? In Jiafang, this is me!"

Saying that, Yan Shihu gave himself a thumbs up.

……

Inside the big tent, Chen Ying looked at the tinplate in front of him excitedly.Chen Ying couldn't believe that tinplate was discovered in the Tang Dynasty 400 years ago.

The so-called tinplate, also known as tin-plated iron, is a kind of soft iron, which is both corrosion-resistant and not easy to rust, which is the best raw material for making cans.

When Chen Ying vigorously promoted fire pits and fire walls in Lingzhou, he found that there was a problem that could not be solved, and that was the problem of smoke exhaust pipes.Although pottery pipes can be used as chimneys, pottery pipes are no match for tinplate.Especially the small briquette stove, this thing, it is precisely because there is no such highly malleable tinplate that the promotion has to be delayed, and now there is such a good thing.

It is already possible to let the briquette furnace enter the world.

Chen Yingdao: "This general appointed you as Lingzhou General to be the commander of the soft iron workshop!"
