Ping An Biography

Ma Tiju kept talking: "My lord, please give me some more time. I will spare no effort to make usable things as soon as possible." When he saw Zhang Ning, he came to see him from time to time, so he naturally felt that he was urging them.

But Zhang Ning didn't blame him, instead he said a few words of relief, and casually praised Ma Dapeng for his hard work.Then he walked into the office where the appointment was made, and asked for some files to read.

The first is the rules and regulations of the internal management of the Arms Bureau.The newly promulgated rules adopt a positive incentive system. From officials to craftsmen, in addition to the normal post salary, there is also a kind of "merit". With an annual income of 120 taels, when the salary of magistrate officials is only equivalent to more than 40 taels of currency, this kind of senior technician is undoubtedly a high income.

The promotion is in full control of the school's grades; then the promotion is controlled by the budgetary amount; at the same time, the department that pays the Weapons Bureau's funds is directly allocated from the Ministry of the Interior, and then the Ministry of the Interior sends people to check and monitor the accounts.

Decentralization and restraint exist at the same time, but the early technological achievements are undoubtedly more important than the input of money and food, so Zhang Ning adjusted the policy by relaxing funds. [

This kind of rules is certainly not comparable to the more detailed and rigorous modern management system that Zhang Ning has seen in his previous life; but at the current social level, it is already very advanced and more reasonable.

Ma Tiju took out another set of drawings and asked Zhang Ning to have a look.

But Zhang Ning didn't look at the drawings for the time being, and directly asked him to come over to observe the finished product.Two officials came in with two firearms from outside. Zhang Ning immediately felt that it was too heavy after taking one. He also looked at the mechanism of the firing mechanism, which was too complicated. He thought: There must be many unreasonable things in the design. The flintlock gun is not such a big pile of parts piled up in the back.

Ma Tiju explained: "In the beginning, we only paid attention to how to fire reliably, and it has not yet reached the time of practical experimentation, so it looks like this..."

"How about the fire rate? Can the gunpowder be ignited effectively?" Zhang Ning asked.

Ma Dapeng hurriedly said: "After adding the reed and gear mechanism, the force will become stronger, and it will be a problem to get angry, but if the reed is slightly ground, there will be risks. If you don't pay attention, it will easily go off."

Zhang Ning immediately said: "You can add a tip mechanism to block the flint, and then open the safety before firing to solve this problem."

After hearing this, Ma Dapeng slapped his forehead: "By the way, why didn't I think of this?"

Zhang Ning didn't answer. Of course, it is easy to think of it after seeing similar things. Otherwise, who has so much inspiration?He exhorted: "Last time, that person nicknamed Daxian proposed uniform dimensions and the tolerance rules I mentioned. We must step up and implement them; otherwise, even if the flintlock is tested, it will be very troublesome. If the mechanism is broken, how to replace it and repair it?" ?”

"Yes, yes." Ma Dapeng replied.

Zhang Ning stood up, took away the blueprints, and prepared to go back to take a closer look, and said to Ma Dapeng, "Huguang is in short supply of military funds, but I won't make things difficult for you. Just do your best, and I will find a solution for what you need."

After all, he didn't want to stay longer, and everyone around him here would affect the normal work of the Weapons Bureau.

After leaving the Weapons Bureau, Zhang Ning got up and went to the Cabinet Office to stay for a while.The cabinet is the former official office of the Senate, just a different brand.At present, the various yamen are still in preparation and cannot work normally. The official offices of the Senate Department continue to operate according to the previous rules.

In the afternoon, there was nothing important to do, so Zhang Ning changed into a robe at the official office, and then sent someone to the Yang Mansion to deliver the post.It was said that Luo Yaoniang had just arrived in Wuchang, and he chose a restaurant to treat her to dinner and let her taste the local dishes, as a kindness to the landlord.It just so happened that he could take this opportunity to see if he could repair his relationship with her.

Originally thought it would not be difficult to invite Luo Yaoniang, since Yang Shiqi has come to Wuchang, she has no reason not to show face.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yaoniang really didn't give face.The entourage came back and reported: "Miss Luo is too airy, and none of her subordinates have seen it. She just called a maid to come out and spread the word, saying that the lady of her family has tasted several major cuisines, and there is nothing rare. Unless she has never She has seen the delicacies before, so she agreed to the prince's banquet... If I dare to say something, Miss Luo probably intends to politely decline; the lady of Yang Shiqi's family is really well-informed, and besides, we can't find any delicacies from mountains and seas for a while. How can I follow her conditions?"

"Since there is nothing to say, there is always a way." Zhang Ning mused.

This lady is different from the "women" of ordinary families, and is very difficult to deal with. Zhang Ning has known her for several years, and already knew... But since Peach Blossom Fairy has taken care of all the incidents a while ago, it is easy to guess Luo The relationship between Yaoniang and herself is not yet completely broken, as long as she is willing to put in some thought and have a thick skin, it should be able to handle it.

He paced back and forth in the study for a few times, and he had an idea in his mind, so he ordered the guards: "Go to Chu Palace to tell Xin Wei to come, and then you can go straight down." [

……

Shahufang Zuixianlou, a restaurant with a large ostentation and good business, naturally there are girls who sing songs to accompany the wine, it belongs to the place of eating, drinking and having fun.However, the skin and meat business is legal everywhere, so it is not surprising that there are such activities in restaurants.

In a separate room, Zhang Ning looked down from the door and saw the carriage sent to pick up the people downstairs.The sky outside was getting dark, and lanterns were lit everywhere on the long street, but in the room there was only a pair of lamp stands with candles on the table, the light was dim, and even the pattern on the screen could not be seen very clear.

After waiting for a while, Xin Wei walked in with Luo Yaoniang.I saw that Luo Yaoniang was wearing a light silk skirt with light makeup on her face, but she deliberately dressed generously and decently, and she didn't seem to take this rendezvous lightly.However, this girl's figure is like a plump waist and buttocks, she really doesn't look like a lady who has never left the court.

She performed the ceremony gently first, and when Xin Wei retreated, she lightly raised her slender eyebrows and asked: "The king of Xiang chose this restaurant, does it have some unusual delicacies?"

"Miss Luo, please take a seat. I'll find out later. I guarantee you haven't tasted it." Zhang Ning said with a smile.Looking at her pretending appearance is a bit self-deceiving, because in this era, when an unmarried girl goes out to meet a man alone, the matter itself is not clear.

After Luo Yaoniang sat down, he said casually: "A lady went to the temple to burn incense and pray for the Buddha, and the Buddha really appeared. The lady asked the Buddha, what is the relationship between a man and a woman..."

"Say such frivolous words when we first met." Luo Yaoniang said angrily.

Zhang Ning didn't take it seriously, so he pointed to the pears and sweet oranges on the table to tell her not to be polite, and said, "But make up a joke, how can it be frivolous? You just don't want to listen to me."

Luo Yaoniang said: "You have already finished half of the talk, let's finish it."

Zhang Ning nodded: "Of course the Buddha is going to relieve her worries, so he took her to a flower field and asked her to go through the flower field to pick the best flower; but she couldn't turn back, and she could only pick it once. Walking through the flowers once, but returning empty-handed. The Buddha asked her: How did you get nothing? She replied: I saw a few good ones at the beginning, but I always felt that there were better ones in the future, so I continued to look for them; Later, I found that the few flowers I saw before were the best. The Buddha said: This is the love between men and women."

Luo Yaoniang turned her head to ponder for a while, but said: "Is the Buddha's meeting like this? It really is a nonsense."

Zhang Ning said: "This is how the Buddha came to China. By the way, the lady asked another question, what is marriage..."

Luo Yaoniang pondered for a moment, then said: "Most likely the Buddha told her to go through the flower field to do the same thing again, and because Miss missed it once, she hurriedly picked one."

"Haha, you are right, this is marriage." Zhang Ning laughed.

Luo Yaoniang deliberately lowered her face and said: "Fortunately, the person who went to pray to the Buddha to inquire about the mystery is a young lady. It would be different if it were a young master."

"What's the difference?" Zhang Ning asked with great interest.

Luo Yaoniang said: "You can pick a few more flowers."

Zhang Ning: "..."

At this time, two maids knocked on the door and came in, putting down two plates of dishes.When they opened the lid, Luo Yaoniang looked surprised, because there was a whole piece of fried meat on the plate...the soup was poured on it, and there were some fine noodles and a fried egg beside it.

"This is?" Luo Yaoniang said.

Zhang Ning replied: "We can also call it Teppanyaki, which is a dish of the western [Semu] people. This is a recipe far away overseas. I believe Miss Luo must have never seen it before." The cook did what he said, as long as enough money is paid, the problem is not too big.It is of course a thousand times easier to ask a cook to make a new dish than to ask people to make a new firearm. [

Luo Yaoniang tried to pick up the small knife and wooden fork next to her, and said, "Should we use this knife to cut meat and eat it? How is that different from uneducated barbarians eating meat?"

"The unkingned barbarians in the far west have gradually surpassed our dynasty." Zhang Ning said, "This is a kind of their culture, let's treat it as something new and rare, and this is what you asked for. "

Luo Yaoniang slightly shook her head and sighed: "Then...call the maid over and chop up the meat first, otherwise it would be a bit vulgar to eat like this."

"No, I'll teach you." Zhang Ning stood up and walked behind her.Carefully pick up the knife and fork, then hold her hand.As soon as the fingers of the two touched, Luo Yaoniang evaded slightly, but the reaction was not violent, and soon her cheeks also turned red.

Seeing this, Zhang Ning took an inch and directly held her hand in the palm of his hand, and then let her hold the tableware.

"Relax your wrist. Focus on your left hand first. By the way, fix one piece... Don't move your left hand. Now put your mind on your right hand and cut it. You don't need to use too much force. Just saw it slowly."

A gentle voice rang in Luo Yaoniang's ears, she didn't understand why she stopped making trouble, and suddenly became very obedient.

"Open your mouth...you only need to open your red lips lightly, and the barbarians don't need to eat in a vulgar way."

Luo Yaoniang suddenly had the illusion that Zhang Ning was feeding her... Could such a thing be too intimate?
