Chapter 70 Promotion
"The general is here!" Wang Wenzuo quickly bowed.
"You are adept at military affairs, well versed in the methods of attack and warfare, and good at managing weapons. Now I am serving as the military commander of Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, and you will be responsible for supervising the construction of this company of crossbows." At this point, he turned to Liu Renyuan and smiled: "The Governor of Xiongjin.
, what do you think?"
It is said that when Liu Rengui left the Tang Dynasty, he joined the army. However, he had the official position of inspector and governor of Fangzhou (the inspector had the meaning of temporary and trial). Although he won a great victory later, according to common sense, the court would definitely treat him as the governor of Fangzhou.
The "inspection" was removed, but after all, the journey was long and the imperial decree had not yet been issued, so his official position was still under Liu Renyuan. It was really rude to appoint and dismiss ministers first in the presence of a superior. Although Liu Renyuan was a little unhappy,
But he still didn't show it: "Mr. Liu's words are very suitable to my liking, so be it!"
"I obey your orders, thank you two superior officials for your support!" Wang Wenzuo hurriedly knelt down to thank him. He was very happy. The so-called Bing Cao joining the army refers to the officials in charge of military affairs. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, the ancient times were not far away, and states and counties were also regarded as
The king of a place has the authority to open a government, and has six departments: Gongcao, Cangcao, Hucao, Bingcao, Facao, and Shicao to assist the state and county officials, just like the six subordinate officials under the prime ministers in the Han Dynasty and the six tribes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
.Although the Ungjin Governor's Office currently only has Sixian City, if it can pacify Baekje in the future, it will at least be a member of the Central Governor's Office. Bingcao Junjun will be at least a seventh-rank official and someone close to the chief. Compared with
It can be said that Wang Wenzuo has taken a leap forward from his original official position.
Although Liu Renyuan was a little unhappy with Liu Rengui's decision-making without authorization, he did not offend Wang Wenzuo. After all, this person was a talent that he had long admired and had nothing to do with Liu Rengui before. He motioned to Wang Wenzuo to stand up: "What the governor just said, you also
Everyone has heard it. This is a weapon of the military and must not be leaked out. Let us know what your plans are!"
"Xiaguan didn't think carefully before. If he hadn't been reminded by the governor, he might have made a big mistake!" Wang Wenzuo quickly flattered Liu Rengui, and then said with a smile: "If possible, Xiaguan plans to go to the river
Let’s build a shipbuilding place first!”
"Where is the shipbuilding?" Liu Renyuan was stunned: "What does this have to do with shipbuilding? Aren't you going to build this repeating crossbow?"
"Duhu!" Wang Wenzuo walked to the crossbow and patted it gently: "Look at this repeating crossbow. It needs to be made of hardwood, beef tendon, hemp rope, copper, iron and other materials. It is cut wood, tanned, and made of rope.
There are many processes including forging, casting, and polishing of parts. It requires a lot of labor. There are Baekje people everywhere in Sixiang City. If you want to prevent the news from leaking out, it will be harder than climbing to the sky!"
"Then what do you mean-?"
"It's very simple. If you dismantle this part, divide it into dozens of parts, and let different craftsmen make them, as long as you don't tell them what it does, they won't know, right?"
"Wang Shenjun's plan is very clever!" Liu Rengui on the side had already reacted: "Liu Duhu, Wang Xiaowei is hiding something from the truth! He is building ships on the surface, but in fact he is letting those craftsmen make the parts of the repeating crossbow.
, Anyway, there are blacksmiths, ropemakers and other craftsmen in the cabin. As long as you don’t tell them, who will know what they are doing? Others think they are shipbuilders, but who knows that they are building crossbows? "
x63xs.
"Yes, it is indeed a good plan!" Liu Renyuan also woke up from a dream: "Tomorrow you will find a suitable place for shipbuilding on the bank of the Xiongjin River! The craftsmen's labor is also at your disposal, and we will report it later!"
Sixian City, wine shop.
The clear wine flowed from the mouth of the pot and fell into the cup, splashing with a little aroma. Cui Hongdu took a sip intoxicatedly and sighed: "I haven't drunk the best Lanling wine in a while!"
"Cui Shiyilang behaves like this when he sees wine, come on!" He Bayong, who was pouring the wine, pushed the filled wine glass towards Cui Hongdu: "Pinpin, how old is this?"
"It smells so good." Cui Hongdu took a big sip. This person never drank in small sips: "Fifteen years, I say fifteen years, if you miss one year, chop off my head!"
"And this bacon!" He Bayong put down the wine bottle, pulled out a dagger and cut the bacon for everyone. The sliced bacon slices slid tamely onto the wooden plate, with bright red muscles and fat interlaced to form a beautiful shape.
The pattern makes people salivate when they see it: "I found these in the Baekje people's cellar. They are all front legs. There are twenty of them in total. Come on, please try it when you join the army!"
"We are all brothers, there is no need to be so polite!" Wang Wenzuo was a little embarrassed by the subtle change in the attitude of his companions. He returned the plate to Liu An, who had been silent all the time: "I'd better invite Wu Lang to taste it first!"
"Sanlang is still the same!" Liu An smiled bitterly. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of bacon and put it into his mouth to chew carefully: "Well, this bacon is really good!"
Liu An started, and everyone stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the meat. Wang Wenzuo could feel the strange atmosphere. It seemed that the distance between him and other people had become farther. Only then did he notice that Liu An was sitting opposite him.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a strict hierarchy in banquet seating. The first person sat facing east, the second person sat facing south, the third person sat facing north, and the lowest seat faced west. After entering the door, I habitually chose to sit facing south.
Unexpectedly, everyone sat down in order, and intentionally or unintentionally, the most prestigious seat facing east was vacated.
"Brother Liu!" Wang Wenzuo coughed: "Why don't you sit in the east-facing seat today?"
Liu An was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Sanlang moved to the right (promoted) and joined the army as a soldier. The position to the east should belong to Sanlang."
"Brother Liu, why do you say this? When we gather together for a drink, we should be ranked by age. How can we use official position to determine seniority?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Besides, Bingcao is only in the seventh rank when he joins the army. Brother Liu is Zhechong in the mansion.
Captain Guo Yi is from the sixth rank, and even in terms of official position, he is above me!"
"Yes, what Sanlang said is, Brother Liu, please sit in the east-facing seat!" Seeing this, He Bayong hurriedly agreed. Others also offered words of advice and pushed Liu An to the front seat to sit down. Liu An surrendered to Wang Wenzuo.
With a grateful glance, he certainly knew that although his official rank was still higher than that of Wang Wenzuo, Wang Wenzuo, the soldier who joined the army, was from the Xiongjin Protectorate, while his Captain Guoyi was from Qingzhou Zhechong Prefecture, and he could manage it now.
He only has these hundreds or thousands of large-scale soldiers on hand, and Wang Wenzuo is in charge of the election of military attachés, armor and equipment, gate and camp keys, and the legend of beacon lords within the entire Xiongjin Protectorate (that is, the entire Baekje).
(Although there is only one Sixi city now). For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Ma Di's official position in the Shu Kingdom was Bing Cao Shenjun. He was just a Bingcao Shenjun in the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's mansion. His actual power and future were far beyond Liu An's ability.
