Chapter 136: Black-bellied Boss

Li Shimin's tone today is very different from the past, and Li Su can obviously feel the condescension in his words. ∮ ∮ ∮ ∮ said, www.

At first, I was a little uncomfortable, but then Li Su gradually figured it out.

In the past, Li Shimin took the initiative to visit Taiping Village, whether it was to knight him, he had always been very polite, because Li Su was a talent and worth using, but when the emperor of Shengming met a talent, his attitude was very low, such as Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched house, Zhuge Liang did not wake up from a nap and waited honestly outside the grass house, without any boss style, Longzhong was right, Zhuge Liang, who had no work experience and no social experience, went out of the mountain to become Liu Bei's military advisor, Liu Bei was tender to Zhuge Liang, considerate, and shouted "like a fish in water" in his mouth all day long", also knitting straw hats for the military advisor, a clear-eyed person can not only see the full of feelings and the appearance of water **, but also see who attacks and who suffers......

Li Shimin is the same for Li Su, but from Li Su's standpoint, Li Shimin is obviously a little worse than Liu Bei, and after Li Su was given an official position and hired as an employee, the previous politeness was completely gone, and Boss Li's style gradually revealed, and the tone of his speech obviously changed to that of his boss.

Li Su's psychology adjusts quickly, officialdom and the workplace actually have many similarities, both are for the company, both for the boss, the only difference is that the consequences of offending the boss are not the same, the workplace is great, resign and leave, officialdom is not good, people can go, the head must be left.

Respectfully received the will, Li Su said goodbye to Li Shimin, raised his eyes and saw that Li Shimin's expression was very calm, Li Su took a piece of ice from the bowl and threw it into his mouth before leaving.

"Minister, retire...... Ka Ka Ka ......"

Oops, Meidi is very ......

**********************************************************

I have to sigh at the efficiency of the Tang Dynasty, as soon as Li Su walked out of the gate of Taiji Palace, there was an official waiting on the other side of the Longshou Canal outside the door.

The official's name is Chen Tang, a petty official of Qipin. In the past, it was Xuande Lang, there was no specific position, it was regarded as a civil and military officer, and there were many similar civil and military officials in Datang, which can be understood as an official reserve, and a vacancy in which position will be filled. There is no vacancy to lead the imperial court's Yulu only eat and do not work, because there are too many scattered officials and cause a lot of burden to the imperial treasury, Shangshu Provincial Servant Fang Qiao has given Li Shimin a lot of advice, Li Shimin has been abolished a lot in the eleven years since he ascended the throne.

Chen Tang was very lucky, after Li Shimin decided to set up a firearms bureau, the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Officials discussed the selection of officials for the firearms bureau, and decided that Chen Tang would be appointed as the supervisor of the firearms bureau, ranking below the supervisor and the junior eunuch, and in charge of specific affairs in the firearms bureau.

Li Su is the superintendent of the Firearms Bureau. The top leader of the unit, Chen Tang's top boss, although it felt a little weird for a teenager to be the top boss, Chen Tang's attitude was still very correct, he respectfully saluted Li Su, and began to report to work.

The Firearms Bureau had actually been established a long time ago, and at that time, Li Shimin had just seen the power of the earth-shattering thunder with his own eyes, and Li Su was still in Songzhou City. Li Shimin ordered the establishment of a firearms bureau on the land, but because of the great power of this object. The secret recipe is top secret, Li Shimin is not at ease to hand it over to anyone, this position was left to Li Su from the beginning, because he is the inventor, he can invent this thing and hand it over to the imperial court very quickly, Li Shimin is still very relieved of him.

Chen Tang's report was very detailed. From the inside out, from the software to the hardware, the introduction is meticulous and detailed.

The Firearms Bureau is located 20 miles away from the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City, covering an area of more than 40 acres. Neither big nor small, the houses are newly built by craftsmen, there are nearly 5,000 Jinwuwei soldiers stationed on the periphery, and the interior is three or five steps, one post and one sentry, the security is extremely tight, the wall is set up every few steps to set up lookouts, arrow stacks and crossbow arrow holes, any suspicious stranger approaching the firearms bureau within 100 steps, will be shot into a sieve by the soldiers of Jinwuwei.

Li Su was secretly frightened after hearing this, such a strict guard shows how much Li Shimin attaches importance to gunpowder, if one day Li Su is tired of being an official, he wants to resign and return to his hometown...... Will Li Shimin kill him?

Judging from Li Shimin's urine that he did not hesitate to knife his brother and younger brother eleven years ago...... Absolutely!

Li Su immediately made a decision...... In the future, I will be an official and try not to provoke the emperor of the Holy Ming and heroic Emperor.

After the work report, Chen Tang began to be courteous to Li Su, the officials of this year are still very honest, the sycophants are very mellow, not stiff at all, in short, the lower officials must work hard to do their own work under the wise leadership of Li Jianzheng and Li Xianzi, no matter how big or small, they must ask for instructions early and report late, and if there are difficulties, the officials will be invited first, and the meritorious leaders will be invited first, and you are happy is my happiness......

Li Su was very satisfied with Chen Tang's appearance, this eunuch looked very ordinary, and in this general environment where looking at the face was the condition for becoming an official, it may also be one of the reasons why Chen Tang was not promoted to a substantive position for a long time.

"Is Chang'an City ripe?" After Chen Tang finished reporting his work, Li Su asked coldly.

Chen Tang paused for a moment, and quickly replied: "Xiaguan is a native of Guanzhong and grew up in Chang'an City since he was a child. ”

"You lead the way to find a restaurant, let's have a meal first, I'll treat you, let's go." Li Su couldn't help but say and pulled Chen Tang away.

…………

The new official took office with three fires, and Li Su invited his subordinates to eat first.

Since being knighted, Li Su has always reminded himself to be mellow, whether it is to his boss or his subordinates, try not to offend people, no one knows if his former subordinates will be lucky one day and climb on the branch to become his boss, this situation is common in the workplace in his previous life, Li Su can't be careless.

Chen Tang is a very interesting person, his eyesight is very lively, the two of them walked from the gate of Taiji Palace, and when they walked to Zhuque Street only a hundred steps, Chen Tang saw Li Su's net worth from Li Su's dress and the mount Shenjun Cheng dù behind him, and then thought back about his identity, he knew what grade this top boss was about to treat, and quickly found a mid-range restaurant and walked in.

Li Su looked at Chen Tang seriously several times in surprise.

Looking for a restaurant is a very ordinary thing, but how to do it is very knowledgeable, it is too expensive The boss is not happy, and the boss feels that it is too cheap, but Chen Tang has done it perfectly, and his expression is very calm.

After ordering a pot of wine, a few kinds of meat and mixed wild vegetables, Chen Tang took the initiative to pour wine into the lacquered ear cup in front of Li Su.

Li Su snorted, well, the smell of wine is very familiar......

Chen Tang raised his wine glass with both hands and raised his eyebrows: "Xiaguan congratulates Li Jianzheng for making new contributions to the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty, please drink." ”

Li Su covered the cup noodles quietly: "I'm too young, you come first, you come first." ”

"In this way, the lower officials will do it first as respect."

Under Li Su's playful gaze, the lacquer ear cups of the two taels were stuffy......

As soon as the wine entered his throat, Chen Tang's face changed, he looked like "poisonous in wine", he suddenly opened his mouth wide, his face was flushed, and his throat clicked, I don't know whether he wanted to shout "good wine" or shout for help, a pair of dark palms sometimes turned into fists and sometimes palms, and finally became eagle claws, constantly scratching the table, scratching the table......

"Is it good?" Li Su looked at him with innocent and pure eyes.

Chen Tang grabbed his neck with both hands, as if he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't, his face gradually turned purple, he took a big breath for a long time, and finally barely recovered his strength.

"It's such a domineering wine, I heard that the so-called five-step pour has been popular in Chang'an recently, and Xia Guan has never had a chance to try it. Taste it today, sure enough, it is five steps, Li Jianzheng Haihan, Xia Guan has just lost his temper......" Chen Tang looked at Li Su, who had a very calm expression, and gradually showed a puzzled look: "Looking at Li Jianzheng's appearance, it seems that he has drunk this wine?" ”

Li Su honestly admitted: "I drank it." ”

Chen Tang suddenly showed a very resentful look, looking at him with a condemning gaze, Did you just remind me?

Only then did Li Su bring the lacquer ear cup close to his mouth, carefully took a small sip, bared his teeth for a long time, and exhaled a long breath.

"I have not only drunk this wine, but I ...... it" Li Su said without raising his eyebrows: "...... Moreover, this wine was made by my own hands. ”

Chen Tang: "............"

Li Su continued to blink innocently: "Is it delicious?" ”

“…… Delicious. ”

Most of the five steps on the low table fell in front of Chen Tang, and Li Su smiled: "It's all for you to drink." ”

"Huh? Xiaguan ...... This, what is Eunuch Li drinking? ”

Putting on a weak posture like a cool breeze again, Li Su sighed: "I'm so young, of course I drink mash, shop guy, come to a bowl of mash!" ”

…………

…………

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Tang's face was as red as Guan Gong, but he was still very conscious.

Li Su silently pit Chen Tang once just now, this note of Ma Wei was very effective, and Chen Tang's expression became more and more respectful.

"When His Majesty set up the Firearms Bureau, he said that the Firearms Bureau mainly focuses on the development of firearms, not only the earth-shaking thunder, but also the elite of my Tang Guanzhong in the future to attack the city and break the village, and the plains will use firearms, so it is necessary to produce firearms suitable for siege, suitable for plain warfare, suitable for cavalry, and suitable for foot soldiers, and so on......" Chen Tang looked at Li Su, and continued: "After the Firearms Bureau was established last month, His Majesty personally assigned more than 100 craftsmen, along with their families, to move into the barracks next to the Firearms Bureau, and they were not allowed to contact outsiders at will, including the 5,000 Jinwu guards stationed outside, everyone just waited for Li Jianzheng to take office. ”

Li Suqi said: "Why do you have to wait for me to take office? You can develop it yourself, and to be honest, I'll only make a thunderbolt. ”

Chen Tang smiled bitterly and said, "There are more than 100 people in the Firearms Bureau...... No one knows the secret recipe for gunpowder, His Majesty said that the secret recipe for gunpowder is only in the hands of Li Jianzheng alone, and if anyone dares to ask, they will be held accountable. ”

Li Su understood.

Firearms are only functionally different, but the most critical technical number is the secret recipe of gunpowder, and the ratio of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur is the core of the top secret number, Li Shimin will never let it be known to everyone, no one has it is the trump card killing weapon, the military and the people know it, and the neighboring countries know it, what kind of killing weapon is it?
