Rumble!

On the edge of the Xuanfu school field, there was a special 800-step field for the artillery team to practice, the artillery exploded, Zhao Shizhen looked forward with a torch, and urged left and right: "Charge charge." ”

After a while, the rider galloped back, and said loudly: "Missed, biased!" ”

Zhao Shizhen patted his turban, the gunners of the three artillery pieces in front of him were waiting for him to give orders again, he shook his head, and was about to adjust the gun position again, when he saw General Zhenshuo's rider running on the school field, and Le Ma ordered: "Mr. Zhao, the general invites you to go home." ”

The torch was handed over to someone else and asked the soldier to pull the cannon back, Zhao Shizhen took the order and turned over his horse with the depression of hitting the absolute dodge, and returned to the general's mansion with the rider.

He kind of understood the reason why Chen Mu's handwriting was not good-looking, maybe it was like he couldn't play accurately, it was something that required talent.

"How's the record today?"

As soon as he returned home, he saw Chen Mu stretching out his two arms, and the two maidservants beside him were wearing red lion pattern scarlet robes, two maidservants, potatoes wrapped the general's rhinoceros horn belt, and sweet potatoes gave the general's waist a tooth tag.

Zhao Shizhen tilted his head and felt uneven, and said, "None of them hit." ”

Chen Mu nodded, before he asked Zhao Shizhen, he knew that this was the result again, he had studied for more than a month, and Zhao Shizhen was proficient in playing the drill code, but for some reason, the same action and the same rules, Zhao Shizhen just couldn't beat it.

Ni Shangzhong, who learned artillery with Zhao Shizhen, is different, after studying for more than half a month, he can already shell 500 steps away, and when he was happy, he also carried two waist knives and danced on the school field for a while. As for Zhao Shizhen, the more he practiced, the more depressed he became.

But fortunately, Xiao Zhao can distinguish between work and entertainment, and whenever he walks into General Zhenshuo's Mansion, he is not affected by the things outside, and asks Chen Mu: "How is the general dressed neatly today, is he going to meet guests?" ”

"It's not a reception, it's a greeting to the governor."

The potatoes and sweet potatoes retreated, Chen Mu sat on the chair with his long sleeves folded, shook his head and said: "The new governor of Xuanfu has arrived, Chen doesn't feel very good, no one has come to deliver the newspaper in the past few days, it seems that someone deliberately did not let Chen know who the new governor is, but now he suddenly notified the governor to take office and asked Chen to go to greet him." ”

"It's not a bad thing to be cautious."

While speaking, the entourage outside the mansion had already prepared their horses, and Chen Mu took Zhao Shizhen and Long Junxiong to rein in their hems and turn over their horses, heading all the way to the east.

Chen Mu felt that the new governor was coming at him, and his deeds were secretive, but when he arrived at the Xuanfu, he sent a message to ask him, General Zhenshuo, to go to the Ordnance Bureau to greet him, which was obvious.

When the governor takes office, he must first check his work!

Chen Mu was indignant about this, and immediately complained to Zhao Shizhen all the way: "Chang Ji, you said, now that the elder of the high pavilion has ordered all localities to check their performance every year, this governor is here, is it that Chen Mou definitely gave him a big gift in terms of political performance?" That's it, and you're going to check me mysteriously! ”

What was Xuanfu like last year? What will Xuanfu look like this year?

That is the world of difference between before Chen Mu took office and after taking office. Military spending is 120,000 taels a year, and self-made ordnance and artillery can be used, although the number of troops has not increased, but the combat strength of the banner army has reached a higher level.

In all aspects, the new governor and Wang Chonggu don't have to care about anything about the Xuanfu, and this year's Xuanfu's political achievements are ironclad and will be ranked among the top of all the governments.

Not to mention, Wang Chonggu is building a horse market in Biansai, and when the horse market is completed and the court deliberates and passes, the tax will be higher.

"Chang Ji, who do you think the candidate for the governor of Xuanfu will be this time?"

Zhao Shizhen followed the trend on the horse, and immediately replied when he heard Chen Mu's question: "I don't know below, but there are traces to follow in front of the ministers, and they should be selected from the squire of the military department." ”

Gao Gong mentioned in the song some time ago that in the future, it is necessary to form a system in which the military department will release the soldiers to the local areas and the local governors will return to the military department, so as to avoid the dilemma that the local governors do not know about the military affairs and will not use the soldiers.

"I'm the same as you think." Chen Mu also guessed the candidate for the governor of Xuanfu based on this recital with the emperor's permission, but he thought about it, "Although Tan Butang and Wu Shilang have all returned home now, and Chen's acquaintances in the military department are gone, the rest such as Liu Tao and others will not be so targeted at Chen." ”

That's what he couldn't figure out.

Among the six departments, Chen Mu also has acquaintances in other places, but the most familiar ones must be the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, even if Tan Lun and Wu Guifang are gone, the others will maintain a similar relationship, and they will not be as responsive as Tan Lun, but they will not block themselves.

"Look, it's for Chen."

Chen Mu led people to the Ordnance Bureau, the Ordnance Bureau was peaceful, and asked the superintendent, no one had come to other officials of Xuanfu, as usual on a peaceful day, the new governor of Xuanfu did not notify other officials to come here, only let Chen Mu come here to greet him.

What is he going to do?

Money or death?

"Why is General Chen here!"

Chen Muzheng was looking forward to it, and sent Long Junxiong to take the detective to the official road to post a sentry, but saw Wu Dui walking out of the blacksmith workshop of the Ordnance Bureau with a pole and a bird, and walked over in surprise and arched his hand to Chen Mu: "The Ministry of War asked Wu to come to inspect the ordnance sent to Qi Shuai, and it is an eye-opener!" ”

"Brother Wu is here, why don't you send someone to tell Chen."

Chen Muman's mind was full of thoughts about the governor of Xuanfu, and he was also very surprised to see Wu Dui, and asked, "Can the bird gun still be used?" Chen's weapons are inspected by a special person, and the sampling will be sent out only if they pass the inspection, Qi Shuai wants a thousand bird guns It will take a few days, and the craftsman has just reported to Chen yesterday that the guns have been made, and the wooden guns will take a few days. ”

Wu Dui nodded again and again, and said: "The guns of others are all drilled slowly, and the guns are made quickly, but Chen Shuai's Ordnance Bureau is just the opposite, and carpentry takes more time." Is Chen Shuai also here to inspect the ordnance? ”

"You don't know?" Chen Mu didn't look like Wu Dui was pretending, and said: "The governor of Xuanfu is here, and he sent a message asking Chen to come to the Ordnance Bureau to greet him, but I don't know which military department official will come to check how much Chen can do for him in the future as soon as he takes office...... Eh, Brother Wu, when you come here, what about the dispatch of the military department? ”

"Does Chen Shuai still want to see Wu's appointment?"

Wu Dui was stunned by Chen Mu's question, and was very surprised, and said: "Since you first went north, you have partnered with Wu, can't you still trust Wu?" ”

Chen Mu shook his head slowly, looked at Wu Dui from top to bottom, and said suspiciously: "The new governor of Xuanfu, it won't be you, right?" ”

Wu Dui's eyes widened, trying his best to pretend to be innocent, but in the end, he couldn't pretend under Chen Muhu's suspicious gaze, sighed, raised his head and laughed: "I can't hide it from Chen Shuai!" Yes, Wu was ordered by the imperial court to inspect the Xuanfu, Chen Shuai is willing to give this achievement to Wu? ”

Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed at Wu Dui very rudely, shook his head and laughed, "The old man of the Gao Pavilion knows people, and with Brother Wu as the governor, the Xuanfu will never let the imperial court worry again." ”

Saying that, Chen Mu solemnly bowed his hand and said, "General Chen Mu in Xia Zhenshuo, meet the governor!" ”
