Chapter 101: Disaster Falls from the Sky

Among the five eunuchs of the nine temples, there are clear water officials, and there are also fat dispatches who are bubbling with oil and water, and sometimes a small sesame product official has terrifying power.

The Metropolitan Water Superintendent is the management agency that manages the maintenance of mountains, rivers, gardens, ponds, rivers, lakes, springs, farmland irrigation, and canal embankments, including shipping, bridge planning, and construction. Don't look at the water supervisor is only a fourth-grade official, but the power in his hands is not small. Even if it is a small water breaker, as long as there is a shortage of projects sent abroad, you can make a lot of profits. The key is that the water supervision is a very professional functional department, but Chen Ying does not have professional knowledge in water conservancy engineering, and once there is a mistake, it is a major event that affects the national economy and people's livelihood.

But the weapons prison is different, the key is that when Chen Ying was at the Yanmen Pass, he housed more than 2,000 outstanding craftsmen and mastered a large number of techniques for pressing the bottom of the box. Chen Ying also has the confidence to make achievements in the weapons prison.

Not to mention anything else, just in the blast furnace steelmaking in Lingzhou, as long as it is put into operation, the annual output of hundreds of thousands of tons of steel is like playing, such a political achievement in hand, no one will be able to drive Chen Ying down from the position of weapons supervisor in the future. With the weapons in his hands and the use of the craftsmen and technical talents of the whole country in the Tang Dynasty, Chen Ying can have a way to achieve the rapid improvement in the quality of the Mo knife, if the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty can come out hundreds of thousands in advance, the Goguryeo problem does not even have to be delayed to the Gaozong period, and it will be solved directly in the Li Shimin era.

The second is that Ge Tong is now developing spring steel, although he has not yet gotten the trick, Chen Ying believes that as long as Ge Tong is given enough financial and material support, one day Ge Tong will manufacture spring steel. The Tang army swept the world, relying on nothing more than light cavalry, strong crossbows and Mo swords, if the Tang army's equipment was brought into full play in advance, maybe Li Shimin could solve the problem of Tubo. If there was no war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty that lasted for more than 40 years, the prosperous Tang Dynasty would be even more difficult to estimate.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying said solemnly: "You should be familiar with the hundred workers, if you go to the weapons prison, you can also make a few armors and a few horizontal knives for the Tang Dynasty." โ€

Regarding Chen Ying's words, Li Shimin didn't believe it at all. On the contrary, he was even more convinced that Qianli was an official only for money, and Chen Ying chose the official position of ordnance supervisor for the purpose of collecting money. The standing army of the Tang Dynasty at this time was about 150,000 or 60,000 horses, and only one horizontal knife needed to be lost one-tenth of it every year, plus a battle down, one-third of the loss was lost, in fact, the Ordnance Supervisor needed to build more than 100,000 horizontal knives every year.

There are five school offices under an ordnance superintendent, and the annual turnover is hundreds of millions, and Chen Ying only needs to deduct one or two from it, at least within 18 generations of food and clothing. Even if he guessed Chen Ying's intentions, Li Shimin did not break it. He raised the wine bowl and said, "As you wish, please drink, drink to win!" โ€

Chen Ying didn't expect Li Shimin to make such a promise, so he hurriedly stood up and thanked him: "Thank you His Royal Highness King Qin for rewarding him, Chen Ying should be a liver and brain to repay His Highness's kindness."

"You have this talent, this king should recommend you to serve the imperial court," Li Shimin smiled with a spring breeze on his face, he was very happy that Chen Ying did not refuse him, in fact, at this time, Li Jiancheng's real power in his hands was much greater than him, if Chen Yingzhen did not sell his face, Li Shimin would really not be able to help Chen Ying, who was in the limelight, for a while.

"You think about it carefully, don't be busy making a decision today" Li Shimin said pointedly: "The center is an official, no more than the border states, there are more people staring at it, once something goes wrong, it will be impeached by the imperial history." โ€

"Your Highness's lesson is that Chen should be saved!"

Chen Ying accompanied Li Shimin to drink, in Chen Ying's opinion, it was actually the most boring thing in the world, obviously both of them were a large number of people, but they had to pretend to be overwhelmed by alcohol.

made Chen Ying feel hypocritical to the extreme.

Fortunately, this meaningless feast has finally ended. As long as he can successfully become the capital supervisor of weapons, he can use the scientific knowledge he has learned to make a crazy leap forward in Datang's scientific and technological level.

If in the future, the soldiers of the Tang Army will have a Mo knife in their hands to form a Mo knife wall, where the Mo knife goes, who can reach it?

If in the future, the soldiers of the Tang Army have a scorpion crossbow, within a range of 300 meters, where to fight, a skilled crossbowman can fire two to three arrows within ten breaths, Chen Ying's head is endless, is the mood a cool word?

The wine of this era is not even as good as beer for Chen Ying, and after drinking a stomach of sour water, Chen Ying feels even more hungry. After eating some dry food for the march, Chen Ying returned to the bedroom to sleep.

However, a skinny girl appeared on his bed, Gao Wenjin, who had no flesh on his body. Although Gao Wenjin showed shyness on his face, Chen Ying was excited and quickly opened the distance between him and Gao Wenjin.

Just suffered an assassination, Chen Ying was still very sensitive at this time, Xu Jingzong led him to the Gao Mansion, this matter was full of conspiracy from the inside out, before the matter was completely clear, Chen Ying did not dare to be careless, Chen Ying retreated to the door, ready to seize the door at any time. Chen Ying asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" โ€

Gao Wenjin's eyes showed a hint of imperceptible struggle, and he said in a low voice, "Why can't I be here?" โ€

"This is my room!" Chen Ying sighed and said, "You occupy my bed, how can I sleep?" โ€

"I'll sleep with you!" Gao Wenjin seemed to have plucked up his courage and said with difficulty: "Lang Jun is very kind to the Gao family, and now the Gao family has nothing else, only the body of the concubine is still clean......

Chen Ying waved his hand again and again: "Can't there be a little trust between people?" Originally, I wanted to leave you some money, but you orphans and widows, giving you money is equivalent to harming you, so I plan to take you back to Chang'an, anyway, Chen Mansion is not short of you four mouths to eat! โ€

The longing glint in Gao Wenjin's eyes gradually subsided, she didn't believe that a person like Chen Ying would be a gentleman with noble conduct. She believes that Chen Ying should be a well-dressed beast and a scum.

Gao Wenjin hugged his arms together and shrank timidly at the end of the bed.

Chen Ying saw the fear in her eyes, and said lightly: "Don't worry, although General Ben is not sitting still, nor is he Liu Shita Hui, but he really has no interest in it." โ€

Gao Wenjin looked at Chen Ying with a pair of frightened eyes, his eyes were full of doubts and puzzlement: "Could it be that you have hit the luck and met a gentleman with noble conduct?" โ€

Gao Wenjin suddenly twitched in a low voice: "No one will help us, the women of our Gao family were driven back by them as a mourning star, seven aunts, nine cousins, three younger sisters, and two younger brothers, either starved to death, or died of illness, and the younger brother was about to starve to death......"

Chen Ying sighed and said: "After all, the hard days have passed, in the future, you will follow me, ensure that you can eat enough, dress warmly, and no longer worry about being frightened, anyway, I Chen Ying is also alone, I have no relatives in this world, in fact, I am more eager to have relatives, you will be my relatives in the future, my sister, if anyone dares to bully you, I will kill him!" โ€

Hearing this, Gao Wenjin cried heartbreakingly.

provoked Chen Ying's guards outside the post station to peek sideways, and they all speculated how Chen Ying dealt with this poor little girl.

Nine times out of ten, things that don't go your way in life are as good as they should be.

For example, the Jinju Chae clan, the Chaye clan has begun to develop since the Chayeol era and has gradually become the middle class. However, compared with the traditional wealthy families, the Chai family still lacks heritage. At this time, Chai Heng, the head of the Jinju Chai family, was Chai Shao's uncle and Chai Shen's younger brother.

As the so-called disaster fell from the sky, a fatal ultimatum was placed in front of him, making Chai Heng feel cold in his hands and feet.

"Take out Chai Shao'er's head, or Chai's family is full of chickens and dogs."

Faced with this ultimatum, the old age spots on Chai Heng's face became more obvious. The encyclical did not leave a name on it, but drew a lifelike bloody handprint, for which such a bloody handprint had never appeared in the world for at least twenty years. But Chai Heng knew that every appearance of this bloody handprint was usually accompanied by a bloody rain.
