After chatting with Sun Dayan for a while, Zheng Peng comforted him a few words, and then went to Jin Mingyu.

Jin Mingyu felt that Sun Dayan must have said a lot of things behind his back, because Zheng Peng had a cold face when he was inspecting the work and various experimental records, and the tea and pastries carefully prepared on the table did not move at all, and he wanted to talk about the old and ask what Sun Dayan said, but seeing Zheng Peng's more and more serious face, the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.

After the establishment of the Firearms Department, there has been no achievement, and it can be said that it is still the old book when it was in the fourth battalion of Ximen.

After Zheng Peng looked at the assembly department, he didn't say anything, and checked the R&D department non-stop, and spent most of the day inspecting the workshops.

It is a rule that people in meetings sit in different areas according to the color of their clothes, and people of different types of work are not allowed to communicate at any time.

The entire Firearms Department, with a total of nearly 200 craftsmen, apprentices and handymen, was densely divided into four areas, and no one spoke, because everyone could see that Zheng Peng's face was not good.

"Meet General Zheng." As soon as Zheng Peng appeared, the people present bent down and saluted.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, sit down." ”

After everyone sat on the futon spread on the ground in advance, Zheng Peng didn't bother to rub his tongue with them, and said straight to the point: "Everyone, I am very dissatisfied with your performance over the past year or so. ”

As soon as they opened their mouths, Jin Mingyu and Chen Jiu's faces were sudden, and the two glanced at each other and found that there was a trace of panic in each other's eyes.

The craftsmen sitting below sat down one by one, for fear that they would be lifted on Zheng Peng's anger because of their improper sitting.

Jin Mingyu looked left and right, and said stiffly: "The little one is guilty, and I ask the general to forgive me." ”

The official level crushed people to death, Zheng Peng was the general of Yunlu, the champion candidate and the secretary of the armament, and the people present were all craftsmen at the bottom, compared to the two, it was simply the difference between cloud and mud, although Jin Mingyu said that he was a little resistant to what he did badly, but he still stiffened his hair and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

You must know that Zheng Peng's mood when he first arrived at the Firearms Department was still very good, but after he saw Sun Dayan, he became a little elusive, no matter what, this General Liu was unhappy in the assembly department, Jin Mingyu felt that it was better for him to take the initiative to come out and admit his mistakes, and when Zheng Peng pointed it out, there would be no mercy to give.

"Jin Mingyu, tell me, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Peng asked expressionlessly.

Just as he was about to lecture, he asked him to interrupt the conversation halfway, Zheng Peng was secretly a little unhappy in his heart.

Jin Mingyu had thought about these two problems for a long time, and immediately said when he heard the words: "The little incompetence not only does not care enough about his colleagues, but also does not improve the work he does. ”

This Sun Da is good-eyed, he actually won the trust of General Zheng so much, he didn't ask anything about it, and he didn't let himself explain and justify, and he directly began to hold him accountable, Jin Mingyu was so nervous that his back was sweating.

put colleagues who don't care about it in the front and put it in the back if he doesn't do a good job, Zheng Peng knew that he was unconvinced when he heard it, thinking that he was biased against Sun Dayan, and this meeting was to build momentum for Sun Dayan.

Zheng Peng wants to stand out for Sun Dayan, but not for personal feelings, but for official business, his task is to lead these people to make achievements, as for what the following people think, they can be ignored.

"Dare to admit your own shortcomings, it's good, Team Kim, you sit down first."

"General Xie."

As soon as Jin Mingyu sat down, Zheng Peng stood up and said with a straight face: "You are all craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, and when you work here, you are to contribute to the country and win glory for the family. ”

After a pause, Zheng Peng continued: "There is no disadvantage now, just now I took a look at your treatment in the Firearms Department, there is meat every day, there are holidays in October, there is money every month, there are refreshments at noon, there is supper late at night, there are special people responsible for eating and laundry, new clothes do not fall in all seasons, and the reward is continuous during the festivals, the emperor treats you very well, I just inspected it and found that the department is very bad, not to criticize a certain person by name, but the entire Firearms Department is this attitude. ”

"Many people have the attitude of doing more wrong, doing less wrong, and not doing anything wrong, and there is no mistake in making a fool's errand, with low work efficiency and conservative awareness of research and development, especially the research and development progress of a single item.

After saying this, the audience was silent, and many craftsmen blushed.

The secrecy of the Firearms Department is too thoughtful, except for Zheng Peng, few people in Datang understand, Li Longji also put them under house arrest, let them develop on their own, eat and live well here, and everyone's enthusiasm is also consumed by brocade clothes and jade food, no one thinks about making progress anymore, either thinking about wearing that new clothes and being comfortable, or imagining what kind of food there is today, and they are afraid of danger and mistakes, so most of them have become bastards.

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and didn't speak, Zheng Peng said directly: "How it was before, I don't care, from now on, move me one by one, get serious, starting tomorrow, the Firearms Department will cancel the team leader and team leader system, and implement the craftsman rating system, which is divided into apprentices, ordinary craftsmen, skilled craftsmen, first-class craftsmen and special craftsmen, different craftsmen are also treated differently, the level of craftsmen is linked according to personal skills and contributions, the better the performance, the greater the chance of promotion; In addition, colleagues can form a group to study together, in a word, speak with strength, and achieve high or low grades. ”

"One more point, don't think that you can sit back and relax when you enter here" Zheng Peng said loudly: "The Firearms Department will conduct performance evaluations from time to time, do you know what performance is, that is, whether you do well or not, those who have not met the standards for a long time or whose performance has been counted down for a long time will be expelled from the Firearms Department, there are so many excellent craftsmen in the world, who does not cherish the opportunity, then let the people who cherish the opportunity go." ”

The last sentence was like a bolt of lightning, which made all the craftsmen and masters present feel excited, and they were secretly wary that they could no longer mess around.

If you are expelled from here, for the sake of secrecy, there are about two options: one is to be driven to the dark mine to mine, and die of exhaustion and whipping, or to be imprisoned or extinguished.

Just when everyone was secretly vigilant in their hearts, someone suddenly asked loudly: "General Zheng, can the little one ask a question?" ”

When everyone heard the sound and looked over, when they saw the person who asked the question, the eyes of the people present were a little surprised: The person who asked the question was actually Sun Dayan, who was forced to work as a handyman after a mistake in the operation of the Firearms Department, and now General Zheng is angry, isn't he afraid?

Jin Mingyu looked at Sun Dayan with some complexity, just now he thought that Sun Dayan was complaining behind his back, so that General Zheng was dissatisfied with himself, but what General Zheng said just now was not aimed at himself alone, but with the entire Firearms Department, and he didn't know what Sun Dayan said to General Zheng.

Didn't you say enough just now, and now it's popping up again.

"Yes, just ask." Zheng Peng said quietly.

Sun Dayan stood up, first respectfully saluted Zheng Peng, and then said loudly: "General, the little one is called Sun Dayan, in an operation error, he lost a right hand, the small hand is disabled, fortunately, the person is still alive, and the heart is unwilling, I don't want to be a handyman from now on, I still want to be a craftsman, and I want to be a special craftsman in the general's mouth, dare to ask the general, can you give the small one a chance to prove himself?" ”

After saying his discovery, Zheng Peng was very happy and encouraged Sun Dayan to continue his research, he would give his full support, and his words brought the original disheartened Sun Dayan's mind to life, Sun Dayan got Zheng Peng's promise, and now he is asking in public.

I'm afraid that Zheng Penggui has a lot of people, and if he forgets about it, it's better to be stable, anyway, he has become a waste, and he is not afraid of anything, so he will go out and fight.

Of course, Zheng Peng agreed in his heart, but in order to show his fairness, he asked: "The craftsman here, no matter which one has an idea, I will give him a chance to prove himself, Master Sun, you were blown up when you were doing the test, speaking of which is to contribute to Datang, and it can be regarded as dedication to Datang, please rest assured, this opportunity will definitely be given, but you only have your left hand, it doesn't matter, can you do the test smoothly?" ”

"It's just that there is only one hand left, and it can also be tested, at most it is slower, and it can't be missed, and there are a few colleagues who are very good at research, you can find them to form a group, it must be no problem." Sun Dayan hurriedly said.

"It's good to be able to find like-minded people to work with, and if you can't form a group, you can pick someone from the pool of apprentices." Zheng Peng said.

Sun Dayan was overjoyed, and immediately gave Zheng Peng a salute: "General Xie is complete." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first" Zheng said without changing his chest: "The opportunity is given to you, whether you can succeed depends on whether you can grasp it yourself, if you don't succeed and be expelled from here, don't resent me." ”

"The little one doesn't dare, General Xie will do it." Sun Dayan trembled a little when he spoke.

I thought that I would be here in my life, and I would be depressed for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect General Zheng to go to the ordnance supervision to preside over the ordnance superintendent, and personally grasp the firearms department, seeing that he was down, not only did he not dislike it, but also gave himself a chance to turn over.

The general trusted himself so much, Sun Dayan secretly swore in his heart: In order not to disgrace General Zheng, he let himself out.

Zheng Peng nodded, and said to the craftsmen below who had their own thoughts: "Okay, the meeting is over, you go back and think about what you should do, remember to start implementing the new rules tomorrow, that is to say, from tomorrow onwards you will be in the same position, and if you want to be reused, you will work hard if you want to be reused." ”

One of the special things about the Firearms Department is that it never works overtime at night, for fear that the gunpowder will spontaneously combust and explode when it hits an open flame.

After the training, the other craftsmen have to stay in the firearms department, if there is no particularly important matter or be expelled, they can only live in the firearms department for the rest of their lives, but Zheng Peng does not need it, because the gunpowder is made by Zheng Peng, if Zheng Peng has the heart to give it to others, just don't say it.

In the final analysis, it was Zheng Peng who gained Li Longji's trust.

As soon as he came out of the Firearms Department, the cardinal who was waiting on the side had a bright eye, and hurriedly led the horse over, and whispered: "The sun is about to set, if my uncle doesn't come out again, the cardinal will leave, this is a forbidden garden, it's okay for my uncle to stay here, but not for the slave family." ”

Zheng Peng turned over his horse very skillfully, and said disapprerovingly: "The ordnance supervisor is my own decision, only I keep others, others can't keep me, it's a good time in the morning, rest assured, I will definitely be able to go home before the night fast." ”

After a pause, Zheng Peng said a little proudly: "Even if it's late, I'm not afraid, the emperor said that if the time is missed, it will be escorted back by the Yulin Army, and those martial artists will not dare to be embarrassed." ”

"Understood, uncle," said Cardinal, turning on his horse and riding with Zheng Peng towards the exit of the Forbidden Garden.

Riding and riding, Zheng Peng suddenly slowed down the horse, turned his head and said to the cardinal who came up: "Cardinal girl, the Firearms Department is in a mess, my new official has to burn a few fires when he takes office, after all, the emperor is staring at the back, and I forgot to arrange lunch for you, are you hungry?" ”

The inspection and inspection took most of the day, Zheng Peng was busy and didn't care about anything, he just ate some snacks casually, forgot that he couldn't go in, and could only wait for his cardinal outside the door of the Firearms Department, and he was ashamed for a while.

The personal guard is his second life, thinking that the army saved himself many times, and the cardinal did not let much, in Tubo repeatedly resolved the crisis for himself, under the dedicated protection of the cardinal, Zheng Peng did not suffer any injuries in Tubo, but more than ten scars on the cardinal's body, the most serious one was to block an arrow for Zheng Peng, the arrow was shot in the cardinal's right leg, at that time it was with the Tubo people near the lake in Nacuo, the cardinal dragged the injured leg and ran on the horse's back for a few days, because the horse was very bumpy, the wound was scarred and cracked, cracked and scarred, Repeatedly, the culottes were stained red with blood at the end of the day, but the cardinals were slightly injured and could not get out of the line of fire, and the quality of defense was not compromised in the slightest.

Although the two are of different genders, they can be regarded as friends of life and death.

"Aunt Xie is worried that a team from the Flying Dragon Army is sending a lunch box over, and the dishes are still rich." Cardinal said with a smile.

Zheng Peng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "That's okay, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers." ”

"Listening to my uncle's words, it seems that the inspection of the Firearms Department is not going well, is it that the predecessor deliberately stumbled and made those henchmen deliberately not cooperate with the uncle?" Cardinal asked, somewhat curious.

The Firearms Department is too tightly guarded, even the cardinals are not allowed to enter, and the more they are not allowed to enter, the more interested the cardinals are inside.

This is the psychology of a normal woman.

"There's a fart ex" Zheng Peng said angrily: "I also came to the emperor in order to accommodate me, transfer others, let me replace, just asked only to know that since the increase of the Firearms Department, the Secretary of Ordnance Supervision has been vacant, even the Department of Firearms is also empty, dare to leave a good position for me as soon as it was established, and wait for me to get a firearm for him here." ”

Thinking that he had become a "coolie" in Li Longji's heart early, Zheng Peng had a strange feeling.
