Wang Wei returned to the door and met a group of people approaching. The driver slowly stopped the carriage, turned around and opened the curtain and made babbling gestures. Wang Wei got out of the carriage and saw Sun Ming, the doctor of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel.
"Dr. Sun, what are you doing?"
Wang Wei was the minister of the Ministry of War, and his official title was higher than that of Sun Ming. However, the Literature and Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel was in charge of the promotion and transfer of officials, and his position was very important, just like the Organization Department of modern society.
Therefore, although Wang Wei had a higher official rank than Sun Ming, he still wanted to give Sun Ming face.
Sun Ming got off the horse with a smile, holding an appointment document in his hand, and said: "Congratulations, Wang Shangshu!"
Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "Could it be that..."
Sun Ming smiled and said: "Yes, with the approval of the Holy One, the Ministry of Personnel recommended Mr. Wang to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. This is the appointment document."
Such an important position as Shangshu can only be determined by the emperor's decision, but Sun Ming said that it was recommended by the officials, which was asking for credit.
Wang Wei received the appointment document and bowed in the direction of the palace: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
After praying, Wang Wei immediately took Sun Ming into the mansion. When his family got the news, they immediately killed the sheep to celebrate.
Wang Wei gave Sun Ming five hundred taels of silver as a thank you gift for the good news.
When the family was celebrating, Wang Wei immediately changed into court clothes and entered the palace to express his gratitude.
Because he had just been appointed minister, he did not have time to make new court clothes, so he could only enter the palace wearing the clothes of a minister.
When I arrived at Fengming Palace, I saw Di Waner and informed me to go in. The empress received me in the imperial study.
Wang Wei entered the imperial study room, sweat was pouring from his forehead and back, and his legs were shaking.
He knew in his heart that all this was arranged by Long Chen and the empress was cooperating.
This minister was not given for nothing.
"The humble minister Wang Wei, pays homage to the Holy One."
Wang Wei bowed deeply, not daring to look directly at the empress.
There were only the empress and Wang Wei in the royal study, and the maids were all dismissed.
"Without further ado, Long Cheng'en has made it clear to me that he will concentrate on working for Dazhou and I will not treat you badly."
"Let the past be bygones; and the future will be subject to Long Chengen's arrangements."
The empress' voice was cold, and Wang Wei shivered.
"Wei Chen accepted the order and expressed gratitude."
Wang Wei bowed again and then exited Fengming Palace.
From the beginning to the end, Wang Wei did not dare to look at the empress.
After leaving the palace, Wang Wei's inner clothes were soaked with sweat.
Wang Wei was very happy to be promoted to Minister of War, but he also felt that he had boarded Long Chen's pirate ship and would be at Long Chen's mercy from now on.
Seeing that Wang Wei was sweating profusely, the coachman immediately opened the curtain and Wang Wei got into the carriage.
"Hey, it's a hot potato. Let me deal with Sedum Lie."
Wang Wei sighed deliberately.
This groom is a spy from the Imperial City Department. Wang Wei is sweating profusely and it is abnormal. He must give an explanation.
The carriage's ears twitched, it waved its whip slowly, and drove the carriage back.
....
The news that Wang Wei took over as Minister of War quickly spread throughout the capital, and everyone said that Wang Wei had followed the path of Gongsun Yun of Lao Zhuguo.
After the Minister of War was decided, the Ministers of the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Industry were also decided.
The Ministry of Household Affairs was taken over by Vice Minister Duan Shuangshuang, and the Ministry of Industry was taken over by Vice Minister Xu Ming. Long Chen was completely out of the picture.
....
Qiuxing Hall.
Wu Jian, Dugu Jiali, and the Wu sisters entered the courtyard, and Long Chen was writing a book in the pavilion.
"grown ups."
"Sit down."
The four of them sat down, and Fei Linai walked over with small steps to pour tea.
"Tell me about the military training."
Long Chen put down his purple pen and distributed tea to several people.
Wu Jian said: "My cavalry here has been expanded to ten thousand. The problem now is that the quality of the horses is not good. We need to buy some from the north."
The horses of the northern barbarians are the best, but the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the northern barbarians have always been hostile, so it is difficult to get good horses.
The barbarians are uneducated, but they are not stupid. The advantage of the barbarians lies in their powerful cavalry. If the horses were given to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, their advantage would be gone.
They and Dong Zhou protect the market, and the things they trade are only furs, medicinal materials, cattle and sheep, and war horses are absolutely not given.
Because Xixia had the same religious beliefs as the Northern Barbarians, they obtained many war horses with good bloodlines and formed a powerful cavalry with strong combat effectiveness.
Xixia's national strength is not strong, but its combat effectiveness is strong. This is the reason.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "The Northern Barbarians will not give it so easily. We cannot rely on others. If we can't get the war horses, we will start from other places."
"Where are the crossbow and infantry battalions?"
Dugu Jiali said: "My number has been expanded to 20,000, and I am training."
Wu Chuchu said: "The number of infantry has been expanded to 30,000. Basically, the people from Qianjiang County are still training."
There are a total of 60,000 troops and horses, which is enough to fight a big battle, but if the equipment is not good enough, the casualties will be huge.
"Let's put aside the matter of the war horses for now. This matter cannot be rushed. I will think of a way at the bow and crossbow camp. Strong bows and hard crossbows can also restrain the cavalry."
As long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more methods than difficulties.
If Long Chen couldn't find a good war horse, he would make a good crossbow.
"I wrote a military book. Take it back and every general must read it, including you."
Long Chen gave Wu Jian his copy of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
Several people came together to read, there were thirteen articles in total, and the opening chapter read: Soldiers are a major event of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival, and must be observed.
Wu Jian exclaimed: "Sir, you wrote this treatise on war, right? It is better than Master Wei's treatise on war."
Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu also praised: "Your Excellency is really amazing, capable of literary, military and military skills."
Long Chen hooked his fingers and said with a lewd smile: "Do you only know this?"
Sisters Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun slept with Long Chen last night. As for what they did, everyone can guess...
Wu Xiangyun was thin-skinned and immediately blushed and said, "Sister, he is so annoying..."
Zhang Qian complained: "You took advantage of others and still talked about it everywhere. It's so shameless."
Long Chen smiled dryly and said: "We are all our own people."
Xiang Ning hurried over and said, "Sir, Hong Qi from Sifanglou is here."
Long Chen's Minister of Industry was removed. Hong Qi was afraid of supply problems and came to Long Chen to discuss it. This was normal.
"Look at it, make a copy for all the generals in the army, and study hard."
Long Chen took Zhang Qian to the reception room outside.
This is the harem, outsiders are not allowed in or out.
Arriving at the outer courtyard of the palace, we entered a secluded courtyard, which was a place specially prepared by Long Chen.
The secret guards and people from the Imperial City Department are all-pervasive, and he must ensure that no one eavesdrops.
In ancient times, there were no bugs, just to protect against people.
After entering the courtyard, Zhang Qian stood guard at the door. The courtyard was surrounded by high walls and no one was allowed to approach.
Long Chen slowly walked into the main hall, where Hong Qi, the owner of Sifang Building, was pacing anxiously in the room.
"Master Hong, long time no see."
Long Chen walked in with a smile.
When Hong Qi saw Long Chen, he immediately asked: "Master Long, why were you dismissed from office?"
Long Chen smiled awkwardly and said: "Hey, it's gone. I thought Wang Wei was a softie, but I didn't expect him to be a turtle shell. What I didn't expect the most was that the old Zhuguo Gongsun Yun stepped in and forced the Holy Lord to deal with me.
