Because of the ironworks matter, Fang Jun kept putting off the date of "selling off the leave" until his father Fang Xuanling called him to give him a scolding, and finally he couldn't put it off any longer.
The thought of holding two jobs made Fang Jun very annoying.
Wouldn't it be better if I just stay in the Water Department and build a few new-type sailing ships for Datang? But going to the Ordnance Supervision was my father's suggestion and His Majesty Li Er appointed him, and it was also for the purpose
It's a good thing that he can get some military glory, but he really can't refuse it.
I don’t have the guts to refuse...
If I make my father and His Majesty Li Er angry, why don't I be beaten like a table tennis ball by the two of them in a mixed doubles match?
Fortunately, the Ministry of Industry and the Ordnance Supervision are both within Yanximen, separated by only one street. You can reach them just by turning a corner after exiting the door.
Compared with the Ministry of Industry Yamen, which has a low-key appearance and a luxurious interior, the Ordnance Supervision Yamen has a low-key appearance and an even lower-key interior...
Looking at the peeling paint in each room and the old blue-brick rooms and warehouses, Fang Jun was extremely speechless. This is no longer a question of low-key or low-key. The wealthier country schools are brighter than this one, right?
After all, this weapons supervisor is one of the five supervisors. It is a ministerial-level unit directly under the state. Why is it so shabby?
The doorman led Fang Jun to the duty room of the prison, bent down and backed away.
Fang Jun knocked on the door and heard a cough coming from inside. He couldn't help but curl his lips. He was just a weapons supervisor. Why did he put on such a big show?
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw an ancient door shaft that was probably left over from the Sui Dynasty or the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It made a tooth-aching sound, and Fang Jun's eyes twitched.
Even pretending to be honest is a bit too much, right?
I can't help but think of that sentence: The honest person in the world is either a great sage or a great traitor...
However, if someone is a big treacherous person, there is no reason to stay in the Ordnance Supervision, right? In a highly professional yamen like the Ordnance Supervision, there is very little communication between officials and other departments, and it is more like an independent
The small world is its own system.
Pushing open the old-fashioned door, Fang Jun stepped inside.
Therefore, it was three o'clock in the morning, the sun had risen high, and suddenly entered the room from the sun-drenched outside. My eyes could not adapt to the dim light for a while, and I actually felt a bit "blind"...
Mother!
Did you cover all the windows with brown paper?
It's really dark in this room!
Suddenly falling from light into darkness, Fang Jun blinked hard and couldn't see clearly what was going on in the room. He didn't even know which direction to go in to salute...
A voice came to mind: "Haha, you are the second son of the prime minister, the new ordnance inspector appointed by His Majesty, the late love of Fang Jun and Fang Jun?"
This voice is gentle and gentle, and he doesn't sound too old, and his tone is kind of friendly.
But Fang Jun was very unhappy.
I can't see your face...
He had no choice but to cup his hands at a vague figure sitting on a bench: "That's right, I've seen your superior..."
The man chuckled, stood up, walked towards Fang Jun, and said, "No need to be polite. I also worked under Fang Xiang back then. Speaking of which, we are now part of the same family."
This man walked up to Fang Jun and took Fang Jun's hand affectionately. Only then did Fang Jun see this man's appearance clearly.
He has clear cheeks, a high nose and deep eyes, three long strands of beard under his chin, and a well-mannered and handsome face. He is actually a middle-aged handsome man with a very good temperament and appearance. However, although his official robe is neat and clean, it may have been washed too many times, which makes him blush.
The red robe is slightly whitish.
Fang Jun sighed in his heart. Sure enough, there are just as many yamen as there are officials...
Judging from his two life experiences, it seems that such a person with an upright face and a clean sleeves is the most harsh and stubborn in nature. He will not be the same as others. He stubbornly sticks to his beliefs and never compromises!
This kind of people are the most difficult to communicate with and deal with.
Fang Jun saluted with a long bow and said in a respectful tone: "I often hear my father talking about Uncle Wen, teaching the younger generation to learn more from Uncle Wen's noble character of being upright and upright. The younger generation has longed for it. If you work under Uncle Wen in the future, it will be inappropriate.
Please give me some advice from Uncle Wen."
The supervisor of the Ordnance Supervisor, whose surname is Wen and Shutong, is from Qingzhou, Shandong. He is half a fellow villager with Fang Xuanling. When he was still in the Qin Palace, he worked under Fang Xuanling, and he was very popular with Fang Xuanling.
Age is important.
He has Uncle Wen on the left and Uncle Wen on the right. He first established the relationship firmly. Then he said that when we make mistakes, you should "don't hesitate to teach me" instead of "please punish me". This is really well-intentioned.
I’ve already called you uncle, so you shouldn’t be too harsh, right?
Wen Shutong laughed loudly and said: "I have always heard that Fang Erlang has an upright temperament, but when we met, he blocked me with words. If I want to punish you in the future, I will be a little embarrassed! Slippery, quite slick! Haha...
"
Fang Jun smiled politely and said: "To be honest, after entering this weapons prison, this junior is really uneasy. If you let me play with these swords, guns, swords and halberds, instead of bragging, the whole Chang'an City will really be dissatisfied."
Who! But if you want me to supervise the construction, then you can just hang curtains on the wall - there is no way! I am stupid and I can’t learn it if you ask me to, so I have to act like a fool and ask you to show me your kindness..."
Wen Shutong smiled even more happily, and at the same time he admired in his heart, look at what he said, how beautiful it is!
Is this a pretense to beg for mercy?
This is telling him Wen Shutong, when we come to the Ordnance Supervision, we are just going through the motions. When the Western Expedition is over and the military exploits are obtained, we will naturally leave! This one-third acre of the Ordnance Supervision is yours, and no one will take it from you.
, so you turn a blind eye and leave me alone...
At such a young age, he can speak idioms quickly and easily. What a good son Fang Xuanling taught him!
Then he took Fang Jun's hand, walked to the desk and sat down, and said with an undiminished smile: "This can't be done. Your Majesty has appointed you to be here as the weapons supervisor. If you do nothing all day long, you will definitely be angry. My nephew can't let that happen.
Let me take the blame for you! In this way, the Armory Supervisor has two armored crossbow workshops. You can choose one to supervise. There are craftsmen in the workshop for generations. There is no need to doubt the craftsmanship. You can also learn some skills. What do you think?
?”
Although I feel disgusted with "airborne troops" like Fang Jun and want to lock him in a corner, but if Fang Jun really doesn't do anything, that won't work.
Did Your Majesty and Fang Xiang think that this was Fang Jun’s idea? Definitely not! He must have thought that it was him, Wen Shutong, who put on Fang Jun’s shoes and squeezed him out...
Both the Jiafang Department and the Nufang Department were direct descendants of Wen Shutong, and they were all his people from the factory order to the supervisor, so he sent Fang Jun to these two places and reminded him: Just stay here, what?
There’s no need to do it, even if you want to, you can’t do it…
Fang Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
We have made it so clear that we will not compete with you for power, so why are we still so wary?
Is it possible that this weapons supervisor is really your Wen Shutong?
He smiled and said nothing, looked away from Wen Shutong's face, and looked at the furnishings in the duty room.
Wen Shutong's smile was a little stiff...
Then he realized that his rejection might have gone too far, which made the second-generation ancestor feel conflicted.
A dandy like Fang Jun has a very competitive personality.
If you give me what I don’t want, I won’t want it; but if you don’t give it to me, I obviously don’t want it, but I still have to have it...
Wen Shutong had a headache. He thought about it and asked tentatively: "Erlang, do you have any ideas? If so, just tell me. It's okay."
This is considered as lowering one's head and admitting that the handling just now was a bit inappropriate.
Fang Jun didn't think too much about himself, so he went with the flow and said, "I really have some ideas in my mind, and I still need Uncle Wen's support."
Wen Shutong said: "But it doesn't hurt to talk."
"Junior has recently come up with some ideas and wants to trial-produce a new weapon. I wonder if Uncle Wen can allocate a piece of land and allocate a few people to this junior in the weapons supervisory workshop outside the city?"
New... weapons?
Wen Shutong almost screamed! The dude who can make a name for himself in Chang'an City is indeed extraordinary. His brain is really good!
The Arms Supervisor will make some improvements to old weapons every year, and even trial-produce some new weapons that have never been seen before. This is to ensure that the weapons of the Tang Army can keep pace with the times and always maintain an advantage over other countries.
necessary improvements.
But since it is a "trial production", it must be allowed to fail. This is certain.
This Fang Jun is just lazy in the name of "trial production". When the time comes, whether your majesty or the prime minister, if asked, he will just make a weird thing and say: "We are "trial production" of a new type of weapon, but there is no
become……
Who can say that he actually did nothing?
Nothing wrong at all!
Wen Shutong stroked his beard under his chin and nodded immediately: "Absolutely! Please tell me specifically, how big a piece of land will be allocated, how many people will be allocated, and what type of work will be required?"
