Wang Ding arranged the tables and chairs, sat on a small chair, and asked Diao Chan to sit beside him.
"This is called a chair. It's more comfortable to sit on." Wang Ding said.
Diao Chan imitated Wang Ding and sat down, but she was a little uncomfortable at first.
After a while, I fell in love with the chair and table.
Wang Ding was happy for a while, but was soon kicked out by Diao Chan.
At night, in the Peony Pavilion, Wang Ding watched the Diao Chan dancing under the moonlight with a beautiful figure.
A ferret lay at Wang Ding's feet, grinning at Wang Ding.
The little thing dared to show his teeth at Wang Ding, pretending, and did not dare to bite Wang Ding.
The little thing is still afraid of Wang Ding.
As soon as Diao Chan finished her dance, she hugged the ferret and left.
Didn't give Wang Ding a chance to take advantage.
Wang Ding returned to his room and had no choice but to sleep on the pillow.
Tables and chairs were soon popularized in Chang'an City.
It was approved by many people, but some cats and dogs jumped out and said that this table and chairs were not in line with etiquette.
It's just that no one cares about them. The best thing to do is to use it comfortably.
By selling tables and chairs, Wang Ding made a lot of money. Whether it was forty soldiers in the yamen or a hundred people in the manor outside the city, the food was improved.
Three meals a day, including meat.
They trained a lot, and each of their bodies became stronger and stronger.
But with the popularity of tables and chairs, many carpenters are making and selling them privately.
And the price is cheaper than what Wang Ding sells.
However, their workmanship is a bit inferior.
But it still has a great impact on Wang Ding's business.
On this day, Wang Ding brought Zhang Yu and Chen Shan to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhang Yu and Chen Shan were carrying an object, which was covered with red cloth.
But it was Wang Ding who guided the carpenters and specially customized a Taishi chair made of rosewood.
In addition to enjoying the good things yourself, Dong Zhuo cannot be forgotten now.
"My Majesty, the Eastern Colonel of Chang'an, has obtained a treasure, and I came here specially to present it to the Prime Minister." Wang Ding said loudly at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It has been more than a month since the last time he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Dong Zhuo has not forgotten Wang Ding.
Soon there will be servants leading the way.
Wang Ding said: "I'm going to lower my official position to pay homage to the Prime Minister."
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "No need to be polite."
Most of the dock outside his city has been built, and it will be possible to live in it in just a few months. From now on, he will no longer have to worry about assassins. Dong Zhuo is becoming more and more pleased with Wang Ding.
Wang Ding asked Zhang Yu and Chen Shan to bring the Grand Master's chair over and said: "Xiangguo, this is a new chair that I got from the lower official. I came here specially to present it to you."
Wang Ding lifted the red cloth on the chair, revealing the true face of the Grand Master's chair.
Compared with ordinary chairs, it has an extra backrest, and Wang Ding specially asked the carpenter to carve a five-clawed golden dragon on the backrest of this chair.
And in order to make Dong Zhuo's fat body sit more comfortably, this chair is also oversized and covered with soft cushions.
The cushion is embroidered with a picture of two dragons playing with a pearl.
Just one glance made Dong Zhuo fall in love with him.
"Wang Ding, you are very thoughtful. Our family likes this chair very much." Dong Zhuo praised.
Dong Zhuo didn't know whether it would be comfortable to sit on, but the five-clawed golden dragon carved on the chair already made him very satisfied.
Wang Dingdao: "As long as the Prime Minister likes it."
Dong Zhuo said: "Ji An, this chair looks different from the others. Does it have another name?"
Dong Zhuo rarely goes out now, but he is also very familiar with what is happening in Chang'an City.
The prime minister’s residence requires ordinary tables and chairs.
Dong Zhuo was as fat as a pig, and it was uncomfortable for him to sit on his knees, so he almost always lay on the couch.
Wang Dingdao: "I call this chair the Taishi Chair."
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "The Grand Master's Chair, this name is good, this name is good, Ji An presented the Grand Master's Chair with merit, and was awarded the title of City Gate Captain."
Dong Zhuo was so happy that he promoted Wang Ding and even called Wang Ding's cousin.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your support." Wang Ding thanked him.
As a captain in the eastern part of Chang'an, he caught so many troublemakers, and the security situation in the east of the city improved dramatically. Not to mention rewards, there was not even a word of praise.
Instead, he was given a grand master's chair and was directly promoted to city gate captain.
They are both captains, but their rights are completely different.
Wang Ding currently has only a few dozen people under his command.
There are at least two to three thousand people under the command of the captain of the city gate.
And it is still in charge of the city gate of Chang'an City.
After Wang Ding was promoted, he also took away the forty government officials he had trained.
These people are all his carefully cultivated confidants, and they cannot be given to his successors cheaply.
When you serve as an official under Dong Zhuo, you know how to show your loyalty and it is really easy to get promoted.
Dong Zhuo doesn't care about any favoritism or bending the law.
If you really want to anger him, even if he is ranked third, you will still kill him with a knife.
But if you really want Dong Zhuo's approval, even a three-year-old child can be granted the title of Marquis.
It is quite an exaggeration for Wang Ding, a young man under twenty, to be promoted to the rank of City Gate Captain.
The main reason is that Wang Ding has no military exploits now, and his little political achievements have improved the security of Chang'an City a lot.
However, after being promoted to City Gate Captain, Wang Ding realized that he didn't seem to have the final say here.
In addition to the forty government officials he brought with him, the soldiers who were originally affiliated with the Chengmen Tun Army were very dissatisfied with his young captain.
No one took him seriously, and they followed Wang Ding's orders even more openly and secretly.
Wang Ding couldn’t count the lazy and slippery people after a few days.
It's different from when I was a captain in the eastern part of the country. At that time, I only had twenty people under my command.
There are now three thousand troops stationed at the city gate.
Wang Ding cannot drive everyone away.
Although these people are not convinced by Wang's decision, they still open the city gate on time every morning and close it at night.
I don’t want to work, but I don’t want to cause trouble, I just want to be lazy.
But Wang Ding is not the same Wang Ding as before.
After taking lessons from Gao Shun several times, Wang Ding now has his own ideas.
He did not rush to deal with those people, but took forty confidants and trained as usual every day.
Every day, in front of three thousand troops stationed at the city gate, I run around the city wall of Chang'an City.
It’s almost fifty miles in a circle.
Even though Wang Ding and the others have been training for several months, running around is still tiring.
After training for several days with 40 people, Wang Ding summoned 3,000 people from the Chengmen garrison to the school field for the first time.
Wang Ding spoke to Sanqian for the first time, but he was not nervous at all.
"I know that many of you are dissatisfied with me as a captain, but it doesn't matter. I just want to say that your life belongs to you, not to me."
"I just want to say one thing to you here. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. You must have seen my training in the past few days. Anyone who wants to train with me will gather here tomorrow at Chenshi.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to come, I won’t force you.”
After saying this, Wang Ding dismissed the people. As for how many people will come tomorrow, he is not sure.
Wang Ding just wanted to see how many of these three thousand people could be saved and how many of them didn't want to be salted fish.
