In the evening, Zhang Juzheng deliberately got off work early and set up a family banquet to see Zhao Hao off.

In fact, according to Zhang Xianggong's original intention, Zhao Shouzheng was invited to be together. After all, it was Zhao Zhuangyuan who went to take office, not his son.

But now who knows, where is Zhao Shouzheng?

The day after tomorrow is about to leave, and it is still a question whether he will be able to return home in time......

Zhao Hao had no choice but to refuse Zhang Xianggong's invitation on behalf of his father on the grounds that his father's buttocks injury had not healed and his behavior was not good.

Fortunately, what Zhang Juzheng wanted to see was not Zhao Shouzheng, because Zhang Xianggong was used to keeping a distance from people who couldn't see through.

At present, Zhang Xianggong always has a feeling of seeing flowers in a fog for this new champion, saying that Zhao Shouzheng is old and serious, he can beat Xiaoge Lao on the street.

Let's say that he has no city in his chest, but it can be seen that what he has done since he entered Beijing has been targeted step by step, and he has gained great fame and status unconsciously.

Is it really as Pang Shangpeng said, this fang's heavy sword has no edge, and it seems to be loyal?

So it's better not to contact him first, and when he becomes an official outside for a few years, he will naturally 'know the horsepower from afar, and see the hearts of the people over time'.

So, Zhang Juzheng only invited Zhao Hao and Wang Wuyang to a banquet.

The reason for inviting the senior brother is that he will succeed Zhao Hao as the science teacher of the Zhang family.

Zhang Xianggong respected his teacher, so he naturally wanted to give Wang Wuyang a glass of wine.

~~

After the family banquet, Wang Wuyang went to explain the test papers to the Jingxiu brothers, and Zhao Hao and Zhang Xianggong entered the study three times.

After serving tea, Zhang Juzheng stroked his long beard and asked softly, "Have you decided to go to Suzhou?" ”

"Yes. The official complaint of the magistrate of Wu County has been sent to his home. Zhao Hao nodded. Of course, he also collected it on his behalf.

"Wuxian ......" Zhang Juzheng groaned slightly, and then said slowly: "Taihu Lake, weavers, and giant rooms, if you can do two of these three questions well, Ling Zun's answer sheet will be considered qualified." ”

"The juniors remembered." Zhao Hao nodded hurriedly and firmly remembered the mention from Zhang Xianggong.

"Hey." But I heard Zhang Xianggong sigh quietly: "Actually, Ling Zun went to Suzhou at this time, which is not a safe choice. ”

"Why did Xianggong say this?" Zhao Hao asked softly.

"There are some things that I can't tell you clearly, I believe that with your ability, you will understand when you arrive in Suzhou." Zhang Juzheng groaned slightly, and said after considering the sentence:

"Bugu can only tell you that a storm is about to sweep the entire southeast, and Suzhou, as the center of the southeast, will undoubtedly become the center of this great change."

"Scientifically speaking, the center of the storm is clear." Zhao Haoxin said that this son is also a person who goes to stir up the wind and rain, so let the storm come more violently.

"Oh, really?" Zhang Juzheng saw that Zhao Hao was full of confidence, thinking that this kid dared to bully even the elder of Xiaoge, and naturally he was also a master who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

The so-called arsenic of the other, my honey, maybe the more chaotic this kid will be.

Maybe we can fight poison with poison." Zhang Xianggong shook his head and said no more.

~~

Under the orange palace lamp, Zhang Xianggong's body shone brightly.

Zhang Xianggong picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "In addition, I received a letter from General Qi in the morning, saying that you want to contribute to the improvement of firearms for Daming?" ”

"It's some ideas, but I don't have a place to put them into practice." Zhao Hao nodded.

"There are a lot of problems with the Ming ordnance, you must be useful." Zhang Juzheng expressed his plan.

"But Bugu thought about it for a while, with your status, it is not suitable to serve in the Ministry of Industry. If you look at this, you should ask Lei Butang of the Ministry of Industry to give a copy to the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, and say that you will supervise the work of the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau on behalf of the cabinet. ”

"This ...... Isn't that a bit of a fuss? Zhang Juzheng's method avoided the cumbersome official process and gave him a very high degree of freedom, which Zhao Hao of course couldn't ask for.

It's just that the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau has 2,000 craftsmen to supply the weapons and equipment of the entire Jinling garrison and the provinces of the southern Zhili, so how heavy is the responsibility?

I just want to find ten or eight gunsmiths like high-speed railsmiths to help me do research together.

I didn't want to carry the entire Nanjing Ordnance Bureau on my shoulders.

"It's the right thing to do." saw Zhang Xianggong wave his hand and cut the railway:

"Since Bugu was in charge of the military, he has long hated the low production level of the Ordnance Bureau and the Military War Bureau!"

"I went to inspect the previous time and let them fire their guns continuously, but the seventh shot exploded! I tried seven more birds in a row, and half of them had the same problem. This is still carefully selected by them and shown to Bugu! I only heard Zhang Juzheng say heartbreakingly:

"Can you imagine, what are those birds that I haven't seen before?"

Zhao Haoxin said that his son was still smart, and he only let Qi Dashuai shoot once.

"What's even more ridiculous is that after firing one shot, you have to wait ten breaths before you can fire a second shot. The range is no more than 150 paces. Ten breaths, the Tartar cavalry has already been pasted to the face! ”

I only heard Zhang Xianggong say angrily:

"For each production of a bird's gun, it costs 20 catties of Fu Tie, 170 catties of charcoal, and more than 3 taels of silver. When you go to the battlefield, you can only shoot once, and you miss nine out of ten shots! What kind of war is this? This is to play with the silver of the imperial court! Judging by the valley, it is better to cancel the fire gun and restore the bow and crossbow! ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Juzheng was so angry that he slapped the table, and his beard exploded.

"It takes three years to train an archer, and it only takes one month to train an archer, so it's still cost-effective."

Although Zhao Hao persuaded Zhang Juzheng like this, in fact, he still praised the idol in his heart.

In the long initial stage of the development of muskets, they were not as lethal as skilled archers.

But the problem is that with the low level of training of the Ming Dynasty army, it is simply not possible to cultivate as many marksmen as the Tartars.

That's a guy who eats, can there be a Fabi?

Therefore, it is still a simple and easy-to-use musket, which is most suitable for the Ming army.

What insight does Zhang Juzheng have? Nature knows this. After complaining, we still have to face reality.

He looked at Zhao Hao with blazing eyes and said:

"I believe that science can help the Ordnance Bureau greatly improve these problems. With the ingenuity of you and your disciples, you will definitely be able to develop faster and better firearms! ”

Saying that, he smiled faintly and said, "Besides, it's just for you to supervise, and it's not for you to put the Ordnance Bureau under your control." It's like a provincial patrol, it's all done by young people, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Zhang Xianggong said lightly, and decided this matter, and Zhao Hao was not allowed to shirk it at all.

This made Zhao Gongzi inevitably give birth to a feeling that the two idols joined forces to calculate themselves.

But when the words came to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The younger generation does his best." ”

"Haha, don't worry, Xiaoyou, Bugu won't let you work in vain." Seeing that Zhao Hao was finally set, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand happily and said: "Just let Ling Zun be an official in Suzhou with peace of mind, and help him take care of Beijing's affairs." ”

Zhao Hao's heart was overjoyed when he heard this, today he came to Zhang Juzheng, the main purpose is not to be a craftsman who makes guns, but to deal with the situation after Gao Gong returns!

With the words of Zhang Idol, you shouldn't have to worry about the tall beard anymore...... Right?
