176. Surprise
"Steward Lin, don't worry! I won't delay, I'm going to urge them to hurry up and prepare. ”
"Okay, I know, then I'll go and see how the wine I prepared is going."
At the same time, at the gate of Zhuge Liang's mansion, Zhuge Liang was waiting anxiously at the gate of his mansion.
At this time, a carriage slowly drove towards Zhuge Liang's mansion.
And the carriage was followed by two men dressed as servants.
It is conceivable that the people in the carriage must not be simple, because the two servants dressed as men both had knives in their hands.
Soon the carriage slowly stopped outside Zhuge Liang's mansion.
Then the coachman came down a staircase, and the men in the carriage opened the curtain and walked down.
Soon the people in the carriage walked in front of Zhuge Liang, and then the people in the carriage said to Zhuge Liang with a smile: "Kong Ming, you are in such a hurry to send someone to invite me over, do you have something to discuss with me?" ”
"Let's talk about it in the house first, there are too many people here, I'm afraid that the matter will be exposed."
"You're going to talk to me about that, isn't it?"
"Yes, I invited you to come just to talk to you about that matter, and Your Majesty has already given your approval. So let's go in and talk, so as not to be heard by someone who cares. ”
"What you said is not unreasonable, then let's go in and talk!"
Then Pang Tong said to the two guards behind him: "You two are waiting for me here, I still have something to talk about with Lord Zhuge and I, so it is inconvenient to take you in, so you can move around here freely, but remember not to be too far away." ”
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will wait outside this mansion, and you will never leave half a step when you come out."
"Okay, you two can wait here if you want, I'll go in first." After speaking, Pang Tong followed Zhuge Liang into Zhuge Liang's mansion.
On the way, Zhuge Liang met the housekeeper in the mansion, and then Zhuge Liang said to the housekeeper with a smile: "You go and tell the kitchen to prepare some wine and food for the two people outside the door." ”
"Master, where are the two people you are talking about? I will tell the kitchen to bring it to them. ”
"Those two people are waiting outside the gate of my mansion right now, and remember that both of them have a knife in their hands, so don't send them by mistake."
"Master, don't worry, I'll go and tell the kitchen to prepare some good wine and food for them."
Then Zhuge Liang whispered in the butler's ear: "You go and ask the kitchen to put the wine and food I prepared in advance in the living room." I'll go over when I'm done talking. And ask them if my finale is ready? ”
"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely do what you tell me." The housekeeper said to Zhuge Liang in a mysterious tone.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Pang Tong was at a loss, not knowing what was going on.
Then Pang Tong asked Zhuge Liang curiously: "Kong Ming, what are you discussing with your housekeeper?" Why can't I understand a word! ”
"This matter cannot be said yet, not to be said." Zhuge Liang said mysteriously to Pang Tong.
"Can't you just tell me?"
"I can't tell you what it is, let's go talk about business first!" After speaking, Zhuge Liang took Pang Tong and walked towards his study.
Soon Zhuge Liang took Pang Tong to his study.
After the two entered the study, Zhuge Liang took out a wooden box on the shelf.
Then Pang Tong said to Zhuge Liang curiously: "What is in this box?" Why are you so mysterious? And I think the texture of this box is not ordinary, is it not possible to contain anything valuable? ”
After speaking, Zhuge Liang gently opened the lid of the box, and soon a booklet appeared in the sight of the two.
"You're not going to be that, are you? And I see that this small box still has traces of being sealed, which means that the contents must be very extraordinary, otherwise it would not be sealed so strictly. ”
"You're right, it's really that it's the twists and turns. His Majesty has given a clear reply. ”
"And what did Your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty's seal didn't say anything." Zhuge Liang said to Pang Tong with a smile.
"It seems that what needs to be done needs to be discussed. After all, His Majesty only gave us a clear direction, and did not specifically say how to do it, so it is up to us to decide. Pang Tong said to Zhuge Liang with a smile.
"Na Shiyuan, do you have any other opinions? Speak up, and we'll discuss it together when the time comes. Zhuge Liang said to Pang Tong with a smile.
"Don't worry, let me see your performance first! After all, how did you write it, I haven't read it, how do you know how to make a decision? If we make a mistake in deciding on the differences of opinion that arise when the time comes, it will be a great delay in our work. ”
"It seems that Shi Yuan is still thoughtful! In that case, let's take a look! After speaking, Zhuge Liang directly handed this recital to Pang Tong.
After Pang Tong took this note, he began to read it.
After a long while, Pang Tong finally finished reading this recital, and then said to Zhuge Liang with a smile: "Kong Ming didn't expect your writing to be so good, this matter is clearly written, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into this matter!" ”
"After all, this matter was personally explained by His Majesty, how dare I slack off!" Zhuge Liang said to Pang Tong in a flat tone.
"Do you have any other opinions, Shiyuan?" Zhuge Liang asked Pang Tong curiously.
"Now that your majesty has approved it, it's a matter of choosing a location. Choosing where to build these facilities and put them into production is a big problem, and it's a big project at the same time! After all, Your Majesty wants to arm our army to this extent within a year, and it seems that our mission is heavy and we have a long way to go. ”
"There are more ways than difficulties! Since the time is so short, it is necessary to issue a recruitment order to the world. At the same time, let the Ministry of Industry hurry up and make those trap beasts, so that even if there is a shortage of manpower, it can be filled. Zhuge Liang replied to Pang Tong in a flat tone.
"But we don't lack people, but what about the materials? Where do you go to find the materials you need? If you want to find these things, it seems that you still have to go to Your Majesty! I remember that His Majesty had a map in his hand, but I didn't know exactly what it was, but what I did know was that it recorded the distribution of many resources. ”
"If what you said is correct, then these problems will be solved."
"Although these problems have been solved, the most important thing is the location problem. After all, some of these things can't be solved by manpower. ”
"And where do you think these workshops should be built?"
"The first thing that must be possessed is to have the ability to defend easily and difficult to attack, if there is no such geographical advantage, then even if there are many defensive forces, it is useless."
"This first point does not need to have this ability, because we can build these workshops in uninhabited places, and even if anyone knows about it, it is only our people who can know about it, and the enemy will not be able to find these places at all."
"But have you ever thought about shipping? Although no one knows about the deserted land, the road must be rough. Then transportation will be a big problem, so it will be time-consuming and laborious, have you ever thought about it? ”
"Do you think those people in the Ministry of Industry are all dry food? If none of them can solve these problems, then there is no need for them to stay any longer. And since Zhen Yan can invent something with great lethality, it shouldn't be difficult to solve the problems of those roads. ”
"Shall we ask then?"
"I have another problem, and that is recruiting artisans. What do you think should be done to recruit those artisans? If we recruit craftsmen in a bright and open way, it will inevitably be found out by those who have a heart, then won't our affairs be exposed? ”
"Since the open can't work, then we'll come to the dark, and we can't recruit secretly. We can secretly recruit those capable craftsmen through His Majesty to have the Jinyi Guard. After all, Jinyiwei is all over the world, large and small industries, and it is inevitable that there will be one or two people who have the ability to deal with these things. ”
"But are you so sure that Your Majesty will solve it for us? After all, Jinyiwei is the trump card in the hands of His Majesty, how can he use it easily? ”
"Don't worry! Your Majesty will definitely agree. ”
"It seems that Kong Ming has a solution, otherwise you wouldn't be so successful in telling me this."
"Yes, I do have a solution and it's very simple, didn't Your Majesty say it? What we want to do, as long as it is powerful, he will definitely do his best to support us, then this plan is related to the overall situation, Your Majesty will definitely send the most elite forces to support us. ”
"Then these matters will be handed over to you Kong Ming, and as for the affairs of the defenders, I will solve them for you."
"I tell you that the defenders must be the most loyal, and that everyone must keep their mouths tight. Otherwise, the secret leaks out, then you should know the consequences. ”
"Don't worry! But you also have to solve the problem of site selection first, otherwise how can I arrange it? ”
"Looks like you've already chosen someone in mind, right?"
"In that case, let's act quickly!"
"Don't worry, I'll take you somewhere first. I've got a surprise for you, and I'm happy today, so you're in for a treat. ”
"What exactly have you prepared? Since I came to the present, you have been mysteriously refusing to tell me what it is, it seems that you have been prepared! ”
"What do you mean to be prepared? It's just that I'm happy today, that's why I'm ready. And you're my best friend. ”
