Although Chen Ying did not open a government, he also had the power to directly appoint officials. However, Chen Ying only has the right to recommend, but not the power to directly appoint officials. Officials with more than seven grades need to be reviewed by the Ministry of Officials, which means that Chen Ying can be recommended, but whether to use it or not, the decision is not made by Chen Ying, but by the Ministry of Officials.
The governor of Lingzhou did not have the establishment of the camp at all, and in the official structure of the Tang Dynasty court, there was also no official position of the camp supervisor. This official position is a private affair and will not be recognized by the imperial court. However, the court of the Tang Dynasty had generals as supervisors, with two supervisors, from the third grade, and two young eunuchs, from the fourth grade. He is in charge of the administration of civil craftsmen, the chief left school, right school, middle colonel, Zhen official and other offices, and the supervisor of 100 workers.
The official appointed by Chen Ying belongs to the school inspector. It is of a temporary nature, as long as it is outside the jurisdiction of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, no one will admit it. The official positions of people like Zhao Haoxin, Xu Yiming and others belong to the auxiliary official position, which is not a seal official, but only a ministry official, which needs to be recommended by Chen Ying and reported by the imperial court.
After taking a bath, Ge Tong put on a black soft-footed hood that only officials are qualified to wear, a cyan round-necked official robe, and black boots. In fact, whether it is the hat worn by Ge Tong, the official robe, or even the boots, they are all Xu Jingzong's, but fortunately, the two are almost the same, and they can be worn directly.
At this time, Ge Tong's face was beaming, his apprentice Zhao Wuxian scolded the craftsmen for their work, and saw this scene The black-faced man named Wei Meng, who had just slapped Ge Tong, felt very uncomfortable.
Wei Meng was an excellent blacksmith. is good at building swords, guns and blades, and when it comes to striking iron and steel, Wei Meng can throw off Ge Tong ten streets, but at this time Ge Tong has become an official.
It is not so much that Wei Meng is jealous of Ge Tong, in fact, it is better to say that Wei Meng is more envious of Ge Tong.
"Ah...... Daddy, this is a good opportunity, there are few people like General Chen who attach importance to hundreds of work! Wei Meng's son, Wei Qiang, carried a piece wrapped in black kudzu cloth, which looked like a flat pole at first glance, about six feet long and four fingers wide.
Wei Meng was silent, his face was entangled, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
"Daddy?" Wei Qiang hated iron and said: "Daddy, then Old Man Guo asked me for ten taels of dowry, you take this blade and dedicate it to General Chen, it shouldn't be a problem to exchange ten taels of dowry, right?" โ
Wei Meng was still silent.
Wei Qiang said with a bluffed face: "Daddy, I am your only son, and I will not marry Guo Hongying." If I don't marry a daughter-in-law, don't you want to hold your grandson, our Wei family has cut off the incense, and we can only blame you! โ
"What nonsense!" Wei Meng said unhappily: "What's so good about Guo Lao's daughter, her face is full of pockmarks and gongs, and I don't know what you like about her!" โ
Wei Qiang said stubbornly, "I don't care, anyway, it's not Guo Hongying's marriage." โ
Wei Meng pointed at Wei Qiang and said: "You don't know, your father and I can't deal with Guo Lao, Guo Lao's daughter is not made of gold, why does he want ten dowries?" What is he thinking, haven't you seen it yet? He's forcing your dad to bow his head and give him a soft face. โ
"Okay, you don't want to give in, do you?" Wei Qiang said: "I'll go to the head of the family, and when I attack Yanmen Pass, I will be a jumping soldier......
The Jumping Soldiers are almost death squads, and as long as they participate in the Jumping Soldiers, they are basically nine deaths.
"Alas...... You can't make it yet! Wei Meng stretched out his hand to carry the long stick wrapped in black kudzu cloth and walked in the direction of Chen Ying's big tent. came to Chen Ying's Chinese army tent.
However, Wei Meng came to the big tent of the Chinese army and found all acquaintances. The blacksmith Guo Laojiao, who is the most disagreeable with Wei Meng, is a strange thing among blacksmiths, and everyone makes iron as hard and sharp as possible, but he accidentally found soft iron that is as soft as a soup cake, so he is happy to create countless soft iron. If you want soft iron, you can't even cut vegetables.
But Guo Laoli still regards his soft iron as a treasure.
It is precisely because of the problem of soft iron that Wei Meng and Guo Laojiao usually quarrel a lot, otherwise the two of them would have already formed a family, and their grandson would have played soy sauce.
Seeing Wei Meng's arrival, Guo Lao picked his nostrils and turned his nostrils into the sky, and he didn't look at Wei Meng. Wei Meng was so angry in his heart, he really wanted to use the clapper in his hand to hack Guo Lao to death.
Zhao Haoxin, who temporarily served as the secretary of Chen Yingzhong's army, walked the big tent and shouted loudly: "Guo Dahai, Guo Dahai, it's your turn!" โ
Guo Lao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's here!" โ
Watching Guo Lao walk into the big tent uncontrollably, Wei Meng saw Wu Zhichao, a celebrity crossbow master in Shuozhou, Wu Zhichao not only came by himself, but also brought more than a dozen apprentices and carried a Wanjun crossbow. It is said that this Wanjun crossbow is made according to the ancestral secret method. (A type of bed crossbow)
Of course, there is also Yan Shihu, a armor maker familiar to Wei Meng, in the crowd, Yan Shihu's ancestor was the crossbow workshop order in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and later there was a negligence in armor making, and he was ordered by Yuwen Yong to be hammered to death with a golden gourd, and the whole clan was assigned to Shuozhou. I don't dare to say it elsewhere, in Shuozhou, if his armor made of strict masters and tigers is recognized as the second, absolutely no one dares to recognize the first.
At this time, Yan Shihu was actually like Ge Tong, wearing a soft-footed hood on his head and holding a pair of black boots in both hands.
Wei Meng walked up to Yan Shihu and arched his hand towards Yan Shihu: "Master Yan has already seen the general?" โ
Yan Shihu's eyes smiled into a line and said, "Of course." โ
Wei Meng asked, "General Chen has appointed you as an official?" โ
"It's nature!" Yan Shihu said with a smile: "Brother is not talented, now he will be added to Lingzhou as the camp armor order!" โ
"How many officials?"
"It's on the seventh grade!"
"How is it under Getong?" Wei Meng frowned.
Each line has a scale for each line, and although Ge Tong is somewhat famous in Shuozhou, he is definitely not as good as Yan Shihu.
Yan Shihu didn't get angry, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Wei, you don't understand this, right?" Although Deputy Governor Ge is the deputy capital eunuch, from the sixth grade, he is nominally bigger than me, have you seen that the main Bo can order the county lieutenant? In Kofang, I'm this! โ
As he spoke, Yan Shihu stretched out his thumb to himself.

Inside the big tent, Chen Ying looked at the tinplate in front of him excitedly. Chen Ying really couldn't believe that in the Tang Dynasty 1,400 years ago, tinplate was discovered.
The so-called tinplate, also known as tinned iron, is a kind of soft iron, which is resistant to corrosion and rust, which is the best raw material for making cans.
When Chen Ying vigorously promoted fire pits and fire walls in Lingzhou, he found that there was a problem that could not be solved, that is, the problem of smoke exhaust pipes. Although the clay pipe can be used as a chimney, the pottery pipe is not as good as the white iron sheet. Especially the small briquette stove, this thing, it is precisely because there is no such highly malleable tinplate, it has to be postponed to promote, and now there is such a good thing.
It is already possible to let the briquette furnace enter the world.
Chen Yingdao: "The general appointed you as the commander of the Lingzhou Battalion Soft Iron Workshop!" โ
