Chapter 30 Embarrassment
"Half a month?" Liang Teng heard this and quickly came out and said, "Main Lord, the Arsenal Order has taken office and is not familiar with his position yet. What's more, the past Arsenal Order may not be completed in a month. Isn't this a embarrassment for him?"
"Lord, it's really difficult for the Arsenal Order to deliver so many weapons in half a month!" Liang Zhi also stood up, "The Arsenal may not be sufficient, and the materials are also a problem..."
Liang Chun was originally trying to make things difficult for Ning Ze, mainly thinking that he would not always sing the opposite tune, and it would be best to be honest. Seeing someone pleading for mercy, he said to him: "Arsenal Order, your task is to ensure that the army has sufficient weapons and armor, and you must do your job well first! In this way, I don't limit the time. I will find the chief clerk to collect money and food later. Don't be distracted from building weapons seriously, but are there any problems?"
Is this asking me to shut up? Ning Ze smiled and bowed: "Since the mansion master spoke, the lower official will be sure to complete the task within half a month!"
"Arsenal Order, this is not a joke!" Liang Teng said anxiously, "How could it be possible to create 5,000 bamboo crossbows, 5,000 spears, and 10,000 shields in half a month?"
"Yes! You don't understand the situation of the arsenal craftsmen and materials, right?" Liang Kai quickly came out and turned to his grandfather Liang Chun. "May Lord, the arsenal ruling should not understand the situation, so..."
"Stop!" Liang Chun narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to let Liang Teng and his son not speak. He looked at Ning Ze and said slowly, "Since the Arsenal Order has this confidence, I will see 5,000 bamboo crossbows, 5,000 spears and 10,000 shields in half a month! You don't need to issue a military order. If it cannot be reached, you don't need to participate in the political discussion in the future. If it is delivered smoothly, there will be many rewards! This official has always been fair in his work..."
"The emperor accepts the order!" Ning Ze smiled and nodded.
The civil and military officials on both sides were speechless, thinking that the young people were ignorant of the world. They had to make so many weapons in half a month, but Huajun Arsenal did not have the conditions! If the materials were sufficient and the craftsmen were enough, it would be fine. The problem was that these two things were missing, and we didn’t dare to make a promise. Didn’t you deliver them to your door by yourself?
Most people, including Liang Teng, shook their heads secretly.
Liang Chunxin said that he was indeed a arrogant guy. If you really could make these weapons in half a month, I would not be the prefect! What a joke?
But this is good. If you don’t suffer a little, young people will not learn to do things steadily: "Time is tight, only half a month. Arsenal Order, go to Arsenal to get familiar with the environment and think carefully about how to deliver it in half a month. Go down!"
Liang Chun obviously didn't want him to stay here to participate in the political discussion and find an excuse to chase people.
Ning Ze also felt that sitting here was extremely boring. He didn't want to listen to the opinions, and he couldn't listen to them. A bunch of officials expressed their opinions, but in fact, they were basically following Liang Chun's wishes, and they were basically irresistible. He bowed: "The official is leaving!"
After he left, Liang Chun continued to discuss the issue of sending troops with civil and military officials. After the decision, he immediately compiled a letter and recruited an envoy to tell him to tell Li Tong, the prefect of Tong County.
Civil and military officials have their own tasks, one is to speed up the recruitment, the other is to prepare military rations, and at the same time train new recruits.
At night, he finally got rid of official duties. After returning home, Liang Chun called his son Liang Teng to speak in the study, mainly targeting the general garrison of General Ridge in Tongjun County, which is very important after all.
The father and son chatted for a long time, and Liang Teng said, "Father, I know you don't like Ning Ze, but there is no need to make things difficult for him, right? It's impossible to make so many weapons in half a month!"
"Young people are arrogant and must be tempered." Liang Chun responded calmly, "You also see that the boy relies on his achievements to sing opposite me everywhere. He will be honest in the future! He is a little clever, after all, he is still too young and has insufficient knowledge."
"This is true." Liang Teng nodded.
"You don't have to worry too much," Liang Chun said, "As long as this kid learns his lesson and does things honestly, I don't have time to make things difficult for him! What did this kid do today?"
"It's probably just because I'm familiar with the arsenal?" Liang Teng shrugged. "After learning about the arsenal, I'll probably be very distressed."
"Send someone to call Arsenal over."
"yes!"
Liang Teng asked someone to pass the message, and soon after, a small official hurried into the Liang Mansion, came to the study and knelt down: "Greetings to the lord! I wonder what instructions did the lord summon the lord? "
"Just ask you a few words, don't be nervous." Liang Teng spoke on behalf of his father, "What did the arsenal of the arsenal have done today? Have you taken him to understand the situation of the arsenal?"
"Report to the young master!" The Arsenal raised his head and replied respectfully, "When the Arsenal Order came over, he simply asked me how much inventory, how many craftsmen, and the situation of the workshop. Then he took me out for a casual look and took me out for a drink..."
"What?!" Liang Chun's mouth twitched and he slapped his face, "It's so unreasonable!"
Liang Teng frowned when he heard this, thinking how could this happen? He looked down at Arsenal seriously: "What you said is true?"
"Young Master, it's absolutely true!"
"Roasted wood cannot be carved!" Liang Chun looked at his son with a squint eyes, "Can such a person be used?"
"I'll ask you," Liang Teng looked at Wu Kucheng, "What else has he done besides drinking?"
"Well... it's just a gossip, and after drinking, they go home."
"So he didn't do serious business all day?" Liang Chun's face felt a little angry.
"Report to lord, that's true!" Wu Kucheng nodded and replied.
"Go and call the Arsenal Order, I want to ask him in person what he is thinking!" Liang Chun slapped the table hard, his beard constantly shaking.
"Father!" Liang Teng's face was not very good, but he still took a step forward, "Isn't this the first day? Maybe the Arsenal Ling wants to establish a good relationship with his colleagues to facilitate future cooperation. You give him half a month, but if you can't deliver the weapons, it's not too late to question him in person!"
"Lord, the young master is right!" said the Arsenal quickly, "The Arsenal Order is not familiar with the situation, and I believe that the construction will start tomorrow."
Liang Chun had no hope for Ning Ze, and subconsciously hated him, but the other party was recommended by his son and made contributions before, so he took a deep breath to suppress his anger: "Okay! It depends on whether he can deliver the weapons smoothly in half a month."
"Actually... the Xiaguan believes that it is impossible to deliver 5,000 bamboo crossbows, 5,000 spears, and 10,000 shields in half a month." Arsenal looked up and smiled bitterly, "With the current craftsmen and materials, half of them are difficult to do..."
"Yes, Father!" Liang Teng said helplessly, "You are making things difficult for others. It's not surprising that you can't deliver it. Why bother to get angry?"
"Even if you can't do it, you must at least behave like this!" Liang Chun said coldly, "I took someone to drink on the first day of my tenure, and I didn't do anything at all. Did I know I couldn't do it and did it on purpose? He relied on his merits, so he was fearless?"
"I think Aries Ling is not such a person," Liang Chun sighed, "It's better to take a look and talk about it."
"Yes, lord, let's talk about it!" Wu Kucheng quickly agreed.
Liang Chun glanced at him: "For you, this kind of Shangguan is better, right? Please drink on the first day..."
"Lord, wisely!" Wu Kucheng was startled and kowtowed in a hurry, "The servant definitely has no such thought."
"Okay, you go back first! Remember to report what Arsenal Ling does every day!"
"Here!" Arsenal retreated tremblingly.
When he left, Liang Chun turned to his son: "I have to hurry up the recruitment in the past half month, and the food and grass must be ready. When the news is sent back from Tong County, the time for the dispatch of troops is agreed, and it will be about half a month. I must beat this kid before leaving!"
"Father, if he can really deliver the weapons within half a month..."
"Do you think it's possible?" Liang Chun snorted softly from his nose.
Liang Teng stopped talking, but in fact, he was talking to himself.
The father and son knew the situation in the arsenal better than anyone else. No matter how experienced people are, they have no time to expand the arsenal and complete the task within half a month.
"By the way! Tomorrow, I will send people to the counties under my jurisdiction to supervise the conscription progress, and at the same time, I will order each county to hand over 1,000 county soldiers to join the bandit suppression operation."
"County soldier?" Liang Teng asked in surprise, "Isn't this good?"
"What else? The recruitment progress is too slow!" Liang Chun sighed, "If the troops are insufficient, the prefects of other county towns may have ideas."
"I understand my father's concerns," Liang Teng thought for a while and nodded slightly, "but there are not many soldiers in each county, what if..."
"Now that the bandits of Pang Lishan have been wiped out, where are there thieves in the county? No need to worry!" Liang Chun sat back in his seat, gently lit the table with his fingers, "In addition, the number of recruitment places in Ju County has doubled, and the county soldiers mobilized 2,000 people!"
"Ju County Magistrate and Liu Baoyoujiu, are you deliberately hitting him?"
"Of course! Now that Liu Bao has lost power, he wants to let him know who is Princess Hua." Liang Chun said calmly, "It would be fine if he is obedient. If he still can't see the situation clearly, I will make him regret it!"
"Father, I actually think the magistrate of Ju County just made good friends with Liu Bao and did not assist Liu Bao in seizing power. Or hesitated for a few seconds and whispered, "Liu Bao lost power, and he must not dare to have any other intentions. Instead of pressuring him, it is better to win over the hearts of the people and make him sincerely accept him."
When Liang Chun heard this, he shook his head: "Teng'er, do you really think the other party is so easy to win over? My Liang family is so powerful in Huajun, far above Liu Bao. Why is he still leaning towards Liu Bao? You must remember that winning over people's hearts is important and letting people know that your strength is even more important! When you have enough strength, no matter whether the other party is sincere or not, you will eventually be impressed. Those who do not want to be impressed must be eradicated! You must be a little ruthless, do you understand?"
"Kids keep the teachings of fathers in mind!"
