As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

46. ​​I'm still a child

The so-called "husbands who have meritorious service must be rewarded, and the richer the jubilee, the more persuasion" means that those who have made merit will be rewarded, and the more generous the salary, the more encouraged they will be.

People in Guochao would not use allusions indiscriminately, so it can be understood from the words of Emperor Guangxing that he will use Huamanlou again.

Generally speaking, if you want to employ people, you will be honed, suppressed and suppressed, and then suddenly raised to a high position, which will make you confused and grateful at the same time-isn’t this how the ups and downs of the officialdom come about?Even some business leaders in Huamanlou's previous life will use this method, such as a certain pearl...

In fact, Emperor Guangxing planned this way from the beginning, so he never mentioned the matter of the Tweeting Order before, and just gave Huamanlou a verbal order for him to contribute.

In addition, throwing the prince in front of Huamanlou was not only to influence the prince, but also because he felt that the two of them were of the same age, and that in the future the prince would have a capable assistant minister or something.

The so-called emperor and courtier, in order to let Huamanlou work hard for the prince, then Guangxing will not rise to a high position, and Emperor Guangxing will definitely find a way to suppress him, and after the prince ascends to the throne, he will not be promoted to a high position. If he pulls it up with one hand, can he not swear allegiance to the death?

That's why I said that being an emperor has a dirty heart...

But everything is never going to be absolutely right?

Although Huamanlou was a bad gambler in his previous life, his image is not bad, and before that, he unconsciously had wave after wave of favors in front of Emperor Guangxing—the last time Emperor Guangxing rated him as a 'Not self-righteous, not self-righteous, not self-defeating, not self-confident', how can this favorability be worse?

By the way, these four are not derived from the "Tao Te Ching". The general idea is that if you don't praise yourself, you can show it; if you don't think yourself right, you can show right and wrong; …

To this day, looking at Hua Manlou's image and demeanor is completely unnecessary, because his ambiguous commandment has been painstakingly worked out here, which directly exploded Emperor Guangxing's favorability, and the impact of iron smelting is too great, so He suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with breaking the rules and being promoted.

After Hua Manlou heard what Emperor Guangxing said, his first reaction was this: Uncle Zhao, you are an official of the Great Zhao, a solid supporter and beneficiary of Confucianism, it’s okay to read the books of the Legalists. Okay?

But anyway, he is also a liberal arts student, and he can't be considered illiterate these days. After he realized what Emperor Guangxing meant by "meritorious meritorious service", he was in a bad mood: Uncle Zhao, is it really okay for you to repay your kindness like this?

Just looking at the fact that this uncle brought the emperor's oral order not long ago last time, Hua Manlou felt that as a big man in the court, he had a profound influence on the emperor. It's just a promotion - it's highly unlikely to be promoted, after all, military merit is required to be promoted.

But Huamanlou doesn't want to be promoted at all...

How can Xuanwuwei's title be promoted?

Now he is a general flag, and his goal is still small. There is a high probability that no one will use this to talk about it when he takes the scientific examination. Did a high-ranking military officer like myself mix into their circle as a second or fifth boy?

As soon as Hua Manlou thought of this, he immediately said: "Don't tell me! Uncle Zhao, don't mention the credit or anything, this matter... yes! This matter was done under the guidance of your boss and the two princes." , so what credit can I have? I will supervise the work!"

But Emperor Guangxing was even more satisfied when he heard the words. He looked at Huamanlou with a half-smile: "You said that you started it under the guidance of me... ? I still need you to tell me what is a blast furnace and where is iron smelted?"

After a pause, he glanced at Duke Ying and Duke Ning again: "What do you two say?"

"This...Lao Qi and I have been deducing the situation of the Datong battle, but never guided..." Ning Guogong looked at Huamanlou with a complicated expression, and fumbled out this sentence.

Ying Guogong is even more bachelor: "Your Majesty ordered to fully cooperate with Hua Zongqi, so I assigned a group of people to him, but he can't guide him, even if he doesn't understand, how can he guide him?"

According to common sense, this old man should get some credit for the iron smelting.

This is not because they are greedy for merit, but because of officialdom rules - you have a subordinate who overwhelms the light of your immediate boss, what do you want to do?Besides, the sedan chair is being carried by someone, and the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and you will have to work under others in the future, how dare you take all the credit for yourself?

In Huamanlou's previous life, someone summed up this kind of human sophistication and attributed it to two words: emotional intelligence.

But is now the time to play emotional intelligence?

The big boss personally gave orders, ran down to inspect it himself, and saw with his own eyes that Hua Manlou had done such a big thing, not to mention that Ning Guogong and Ying Guogong didn't have the intention of taking advantage of the juniors, they just thought, at this time Do they dare to take it?

Hearing what the two said, Emperor Guangxing nodded in satisfaction and said to Huamanlou: "Here, we have no guidance, what do you say?"

Hua Manlou wanted to cry without tears: "Then...then there is also the help of Huang Zichao, the general manager of Shenjiying,... and that one, Xuanwuwei Xiaoqi Peng He, and the craftsmen are also busy day and night, anyway, no matter what Who is it, I really have no credit for it..."

Peng Guang, who has been busy with Huamanlou these days, is now timidly looking at the big bosses not far away. Hearing Huamanlou mentioning him, he burst into tears: "Master, mark These days, being called around by you like a dog, you can remember me and I appreciate it, but at least you can remember all my names...

And Emperor Guangxing nodded slowly: "They certainly have merit, and I will not forget them... I will ask for credit for them."

Hua Manlou defended weakly: "It's not that I have merit...it's..."

Emperor Guangxing squinted at Hua Manlou: "Why, you are still excited to say that you have merit?"

Hua Manlou immediately shook his head: "No, no, it's just that there is only so much food in my stomach, and you see, I am still a child! It is already very...well, I am ashamed to live my emperor, although I am still a child! I can't report it if I'm so dazed..."

As he said that, Hua Manlou continued to randomly find a direction and arched his hands to express his respect for the emperor. The two princes had black lines on their heads: "What the hell is the south side over there...

Emperor Guangxing didn't care about it: "You are young? Gan Luo worshiped his prime minister twelve years ago, and Xiang Lu (tuo) became a holy man at the age of seven. Are you fifteen now?" , Confucius once asked him for advice and respected him as a teacher, and later generations called him the Holy Duke and the teacher of the sage)

Hua Manlou continued to defend weakly: "Gan Luo...Gan Luo didn't die well, and Xiang Luan seemed to have died quite early..."

Emperor Guangxing laughed angrily: "Get out! I don't need you to look at this place, go back to rest early today! Get out, get out, don't block your eyes here!"

(Some complained that Huamanlou doesn't look like a person's name... this, Mr. Gu Long, I'm sorry...)

47. What kind of human suffering is this?

Hua Manlou walked home in a daze, all the way he was thinking about one question: Which step was wrong, which led to the current bad result?

This must be a bad result!

Hua Manlou didn't know what kind of official he would be promoted after Uncle Zhao reported the incident, but he knew that a 15-year-old boy would rise like a comet within a few days, which is definitely not a good thing.After all, officialdom is the place where seniority is the most important. If you are promoted to a hundred households, you don't have much confidence that you can hold down the two or three hundred people in the hundred households. If you are a thousand households...

Oh, it's impossible for Qianhu, and the 15-year-old who actually granted the fifth grade is too shocking.

At the thought of this Hua Man Lou, my heart finally let go: Bai Hu is also the military officer of Sesame Mung Bean, so it’s not enough for the scholars to rise up and attack him... right?

All in all, Xuanwu Wei is difficult!

Sighing, Hua Manlou walked all the way into the city, feeling the prosperity of the capital, his eyes were moist: What kind of life do you spend in Shenjiying these days?The agreed-upon decadent life of the feudal aristocrats, how can I always feel that it is not right to live it?

Walking all the way to the door of the house, Hua Manlou's eyes were moist again: a little loli sat on the steps of the gate, this loli rested her chin on her two small hands, staring blankly into the distance... …

Women are not allowed in the barracks, not even loli, so Huamanlou hasn't seen Qin'er, who is cute and heart-piercing, for six days.

What kind of human suffering is this if you have to smelt iron before the great cause of copper smelting is finished?See what the loli at home are like?

When Hua Manlou walked up to him, Qin'er was stunned when she saw him, then stood up abruptly: "Young...Master?"

Before Hua Manlou could answer, Qin'er's face suddenly changed, and she stomped her feet fiercely: "Where did the young master go to fool around again?"

"I..." Hua Manlou suddenly felt a little dizzy.

When he started working in Shenji Camp a few days ago, he remembered that he sent someone to deliver a letter to Daddy Cheap, but now it seems that Uncle Huai'an didn't say hello to the rest of the family after returning home?

But having said that, with Huai'an Bo's feudal patriarch's beating nature, he probably wouldn't bother to talk to his servants.

It's just that others fall, but Qin'er can't be regarded as others...

Seeing Hua Manlou's current state of distress, Qin'er grabbed Hua Manlou's sleeve and dragged him towards the mansion, but said: "Young master, just wait, the master will definitely deal with you when he comes back! What should I do next time, the young master has been out for six days, a full six days! If you don’t stay at home all day, the master will not beat you to death? By the way, how much money did the young master lose this time? People thrown into the river?"

Such a small mouth, so fast that Huamanlou had no time to explain, finally waited for her to breathe a sigh of relief, Huamanlou said weakly: "I didn't go out to gamble, I'm busy in Shenji Camp."

Qin'er rolled his eyes at him: "Even I don't believe such lies, can you deceive the master in a while?"

Hua Manlou was dumbfounded: "Do I have to lie to you? I'm really busy in the Shenji Camp!"

Qin'er didn't listen to his explanation at all, and pushed him into the room, and then first asked the rough envoy to bring water to wash Hua Manlou's face, and then pushed him into the bathroom, saying, "Take a bath first and change your body." The clothes are making up nonsense, so I can fool the master by then!"

"I really didn't..."

"Come in!"

After Huamanlou entered the bathroom, Qin'er squatted outside the door and sighed, "The master didn't beat the young master when I came back last time, so the young master went too far. In the past, I still knew how to go home... Sigh, what if the master loses his temper?" Life is good, last time the young master was beaten for half a month and couldn't get out of bed, this time I'm afraid he will really break his leg..."

It can be seen that the little girl is really angry this time, but she magically mixed anger and worry together. These two completely different emotions made the little girl's thinking a little short-circuited, so that she can't handle it at all now side information...

When Hua Manlou got into the bathtub, Qin'er said again: "No, I have to put more clothes on for the young master, preferably wrapped in a piece of cooked cowhide, and the family law in the hall has to be hidden... No, no, if it is The master can't find the law, what should I do if I raise a stool and smash it?"

Huamanlou took a bath in the bathroom for a quarter of an hour. During this quarter of an hour, Qin'er didn't stop talking. While scolding Huamanlou, she thought about using her way to resolve this big crisis for Huamanlou. There is a whimsical part: she wants to make up Hua ManLou to be punished for him...

But when Hua Manlou walked out of the bathroom with a smile, Qin'er became even angrier: "Still laughing! Still laughing! Young master, let's laugh when he survives today!"

But before Hua Manlou could say anything, she said worriedly again: "Master, why don't you run over the wall for a while? Go to Xuanwuwei to be on duty for a few days, and come back after the master's anger subsides? These days, master Don't mess around anymore, lest you add fuel to the fire..."

Hua Manlou walked up to her and stretched out his hand, gave her a chestnut, and then said with a smile, "Can you calm down first?"

Qin'er screamed in pain, then covered her head and looked up at Huamanlou with tears in her eyes: "Master..."

"It was agreed a few days ago, right? Master, I promised you that you will change your past mistakes and do your best. Didn't you forget?" Hua Manlou pinched her small face to feel the familiar touch, and then continued. : "When I am a young master, I don't count what I say or what?"

Qin'er pouted: "Young Master, don't you just keep talking for nothing..."

"Now it's the word, believe it or not." Hua Manlou put down his hand, lamenting his lack of credibility again.

Let's see, how many crimes did the predecessor do to make a 12-year-old girl not believe him?

It has to be said that most of the people he came into contact with these days were people who hadn't had much contact with each other before, so much so that he himself forgot that among the people around him, the only one who seemed to be fooled by him was that unsmiling father, and everyone else was very serious about his own. There is no concept of change—it’s just that Hua Er, who was guarding the door when he came home, and the old butler he met in the front hall looked at him with complicated expressions, as if his death was about to turn black...

Qin'er looked at Hua Manlou blankly: "Could it be... the young master is really busy in Shenji Camp?"

Hua Manlou rolled his eyes: "When my father comes back, you can see if he beats me up or not, so I'll know?"

Qin'er looked worried: "Then... what if you beat me up?"

Hua Manlou just turned around and left: "Let the kitchen make some food and bring it here. You can arrange tea, snacks and fruits. The food in Shenjiying is too bad... Go, no matter whether my father comes back or beheaded It doesn't matter if it's too late, you must let me have a meal on the road, right?"

Qin'er stomped her feet: "Master, don't say such crazy things!"

After scolding, the little girl went to the kitchen half-believingly, while Hua Manlou entered the room and slumped on Luohan's bed: "It's still comfortable at home!"

48. Is it not good to punish without teaching?

The words are divided into two parts.

After driving Huamanlou away, Emperor Guangxing nodded to Ning Guogong and Ying Guogong: "Let's go with me."

The three of them walked around the Huamanlou cast-iron camp, and then returned to Shenji Camp to watch the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion practicing bombing. During this process, Emperor Guangxing remained silent.

When he arrived, Duke Ning looked at the sky, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, shouldn't it be time to go back to the palace?"

Emperor Guangxing nodded slowly, but he didn't answer Ning Guogong's words: "Zhang Qing's family, in your opinion, can the Shenji Camp be able to fight?"

Hearing Emperor Guangxing's question, Duke Ying couldn't help turning his head and staring at Duke Ying fiercely, for fear that he would say something like 'Shenjiying is trash'.

But Ning Guogong ignored him at all, coughed and said slowly: "Your Majesty, since the old minister has been in the army, he has never brought firearms in all previous expeditions."

It has to be said that people who can make a name for themselves in the court are not low in IQ, what the old man said is extremely clever.

This can be understood as: I have never led soldiers similar to the Shenji Battalion, nor have I seen how they fight, so I don’t understand; it can also be understood as: I don’t bother to bring firearms when I go to the battlefield, because I know they are useless ...

From the point of view of personality, if Xu Dacheng's personality is "loyalty", then Ning Guogong's personality is "uprightness". Honest people will naturally speak straightforward words. Anyway, you can't understand it too much.

But when Ying Guogong was gnashing his teeth in anger, Ning Guogong added: "However, if there are enough Purdues in the Shenji Battalion, then I really can't imagine what kind of army can defeat them."

As a general of the country, Ning Guogong knew that Emperor Guangxing wanted to reform the military system a few days ago, and he also knew that he wanted to start from the Beijing camp and plow through all the guards in Da Zhao, so the Shenji camp would bear the brunt of it.But if the Shenji Battalion was restructured first, then the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion would not be much better off, so the old man would not do anything to add insult to injury to Ning Guogong.

Besides, as far as Ning Guogong is concerned, the Beijing camp is under the eyes of the emperor. Although he has not fought much in 30 years, he will not be too slack in daily drills. This alone is enough to crush the local government. The guard is gone, so why not start with the guard first?

Emperor Guangxing nodded, and fell silent again.

In fact, Emperor Guangxing was a little worried about reforming the military system.

Issues left over from history such as the military system often affect the whole body at a whim, and they cannot be moved at will, nor can they be implemented regardless of 21. This will cause a big mess, after all, it involves The million-level military households in Dazhao have to be cautious.

Compared with the various intertwined localities, at least the Beijing Camp could not make big waves under the eyes of the emperor, and its composition was simpler, so Emperor Guangxing turned his attention to the Shenji Camp, which had never made any achievements.

But there is a terrible question, who can guarantee that the new army will be more effective under the new system?

This is why Emperor Guangxing has been hesitant.

However, the appearance of Huamanlou not only brought him a surprise, but also brought a new idea to Emperor Guangxing: If the Shenji Battalion is really capable of fighting, then why start reforms from places that still have fighting power?

Moreover, after estimating the price and combat power of Purdue, Emperor Guangxing had another idea: if it is true that the entire army can deploy Purdue, then at this time, any one thousand households can crush the previous ten thousand households. Therefore, in this way, there is no need to set up so many guards in the local area, and only a few people need to be left to maintain the stability of the local area. In this way, the saved expenses can allow the imperial court to raise more elite soldiers, which is simply not beneficial. Fee.

So where did the elite soldiers come from?

For some reason, Emperor Guangxing has been obsessed with the new type of firecracker that Hua Manlou said that day that can be fired a mile or two away.

I thought that Huamanlou was bragging, and Emperor Guangxing just let him tinker with it with an attitude of giving it a try. I never thought that Huamanlou would actually tinker with the new iron-making technology. Why did Emperor Guangxing worry about the guard?

At this time, Emperor Guangxing suddenly felt that since he had won the bet once, why not bet again?

In this way, Huamanlou's settlement needs to be carefully considered.

Thinking of this, Emperor Guangxing smiled and said, "What Zhang Aiqing said is that now that there is Pudu and the three-stage attack by that kid Huamanlou, why worry that the Shenji Battalion has no combat power?"

After a pause, Emperor Guangxing said something pointedly: "It's just that the Shenji Camp hasn't made any progress in more than a hundred years. Qi Aiqing needs to pay more attention."

Ying Guogong hurriedly said: "I obey the order."

Emperor Guangxing gave a few more words of encouragement, and returned to the palace after some idle talk, leaving the two dukes standing there in a daze: "What does Your Majesty mean?"
