After the printing factory worked hard all night, the new edition of the Song Dynasty Times Weekly was finally released before dawn. The contents described in it were all the things that happened on the first day of August, but it was already sold out before it arrived.
Nowadays, no matter whether it is a tea shop or a restaurant, you can hear those boring scribes reciting articles from the Song Dynasty Weekly.
Since the common people haven't had enough of reading it, now it's time to reflect on it. A small newspaper has greatly stimulated consumption.
But for Li Qi, this is not the end, but a new beginning, and busy days are coming one after another.
On that day, the imperial decree appointing Li Qi as the new weapons supervisor came down.
Li Qi took the imperial edict, looked up at the blue sky, and murmured: "After keeping a low profile for so long, it's time to make some moves."
.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, weapons were manufactured in the workshop mode. The prefecture and county levels were generally called Duzuoyuan. They were not large in scale, but there were many, one here and one there. Those in the capital belonged to the central level, with north and south workshops.
There are workshops for making various weapons such as the Crossbow Academy and the Arrow Making Academy.
Nancheng, Gongnuyuan, is also the largest weapons workshop in the capital. After all, the archers of the Song Dynasty accounted for 60% of the army.
"Bang bang bang!"
I saw a team of about fifty people standing in front of the gate of Gongnuyuan. All of these people were wearing Forbidden Army uniforms. They were obviously Forbidden Army. The leader knocked on the door hard and shouted:
: "Open the door, open the door. Hurry and look at the door."
This person is none other than Niu Gao.
After a moment, a middle-aged man opened the door. Before the man could see clearly, a group of forbidden soldiers rushed in and stood neatly on both sides.
The man was immediately frightened and said, "Who are you? Do you know where this place is?"
Niu Gao strode in, holding a token in his hand. He shouted: "Of course I know where this place is. We are here to check samples under the order of the new supervisor. The supervisor said that anyone who dares to stop him will be punished by military law.
Dispose of it." Then he said loudly: "Execute the order."
"yes."
The soldiers quickly entered the workshop.
There was a commotion inside.
Soon, another person came out. He was a man in his forties with a relatively burly build. When the man saw Niu Gao, he smiled in a strange way and said, "Hey, who did I think you were? He was so domineering, it turned out to be Niu Gao."
Coach."
Niu Gao said without changing his expression: "It turns out it's Supervisor Xie. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you."
This man's name is Xie Changwen, who specializes in supervising the Gongnuyuan and is affiliated with the Ordnance Supervision. However, he is only a small boss, but judging from his figure, he is probably making a lot of money.
Xie Changwen chuckled and said: "Master Niu, what are you doing? Our Gongnu Academy and your Imperial Army have always been at odds with each other."
Niu Gao said calmly: "I am acting on orders."
"Acting on orders?" Xie Changwen chuckled and asked, "On whose order?"
"Naturally the new supervisor."
"Oh? The newly appointed supervisor? Why haven't I heard of it?" Xie Changwen sneered.
Niu Gao glanced at him and knew that he said that on purpose, so he took advantage of it and said, "You haven't heard about it. It's probably because you're not qualified yet."
Xie Changwen said angrily: "Niu Gao, don't bully others too much. You are just a small instructor."
Niu Gao asked: "So what?"
"Okay, okay. Just wait, I will definitely go to the top to sue you." Xie Changwen puffed his beard and stared.
Niu Gao grinned and said: "Sue me? Who to sue? Supervisor Li? If so, then you can be exempted. Because in a few days, the supervisor will come to you."
Xie Changwen was startled, with a timidity in his eyes and a vague premonition in his heart.
After a while, the soldiers came out of the workshop, each with a variety of bows in their hands.
Xie Changwen said: "What are you doing? How can you take away the weapons of Gongnuyuan at will?"
Niu Gao shook his head and held the token in his hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Supervisor, I am just following orders."
"you dare."
Niu Gao ignored him and said to his subordinates: "Close the team. Sir, you are still waiting."
At the same time, Yue Fei, Yue Fan, Liang Xiong and others led their men to raid all the weapon-making workshops in the capital. Their actions were very fast, coming and going as quickly as they came.
It was a storm for a while.
On the second day, in the office of the chairman of the group company.
"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable! I, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, sacrificed their lives to defend the country, but aren't these inferior products costing our soldiers of the Song Dynasty to lose their lives in vain? Damn it, it's really abominable."
Li Qi frowned and stared at the several weapons and pieces of armor on the table. He suddenly slammed the table and stood up suddenly. When he heard Niu Gao said that all the weapons were not up to standard, and many of the weapons were even half-full.
The requirements were not met, and he was so angry that he was out of breath. He had long known about the corruption of the weapons supervisor, but he did not expect that it had become corrupt to this extent. The advantage of the Song Dynasty lies in weapons, but this is the strongest
A little, but now it has become the weakest link, how can he not be angry.
The fool from Maqiao stepped forward, picked up a big knife, and shook it, only to hear a few clattering sounds. Suddenly, he swung it violently towards the ground, scaring Niu Gao to jump back suddenly. He and Maqiao
I am an old acquaintance, and I know that this guy is very nervous. I really don’t dare to get too close to him, as my life will be in danger.
I only heard a decent sound, and then a few more decent sounds.
Li Qi turned around and saw that Ma Qiao was holding a knife handle in his hand, and the original big knife had been broken into three parts. He felt another angina pectoris.
"Wow! Can this knife be used for fighting? It's barely enough for a child to play with."
Ma Qiao looked at the handle of the knife in his hand in surprise, and immediately said nervously to Niu Gao: "Brother Niu, I'd better make my weapons myself, so I won't bother you. With this weapon, it's better to use bare hands."
Niu Gao blushed and became speechless. What this man said was so shabby.
Li Qi frowned and said: "Maqiao, what are you doing? If you want to try, won't you go out and try? Look, my floor has been scratched by you. Next time, before you do anything, please use your
Think about it in your head, okay?"
Ma Qiao said humbly: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself."
"Then stop showing off, I'm really annoyed." Li Qi said angrily.
Niu Gao asked: "Deputy Commander, what should we do now?"
Ma Qiao rolled his eyes and said, "There's no need to ask, of course we need to conduct a thorough investigation. How can we let such a big thing go unchecked?"
"Hey! Ma Qiao, are you the boss or am I the boss?"
Ma Qiao quickly lowered his head and remained silent.
Li Qi glared at him and then said to Niu Gao: "Let me think about it first." He paced back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back.
At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and then Xiaoyu's voice came, "Brother Li, Mr. Zheng wants to see you for something."
Li Qi frowned and said: "Who is Zheng Guan?"
"The economic envoy is me, Zheng Erlang."
"Brother Zheng?"
Li Qi was stunned and immediately said to Niu Gao: "Niu Gao, this matter is of great importance. I still have to think about it. You can go back first, but this matter must not be spread, you know?"
"I understand the humble position."
"Remember to take your things."
"yes."
Niu Gao and Ma Qiao picked up the weapons on the table and opened the door. They saw Zheng Yi and Xiaoyu standing in front of the door. They nodded towards Zheng Yi and then went out.
Li Qi cupped his hands towards Zheng Yi and said, "I didn't know that Second Brother Zheng is here. I missed you so much. I apologize. I apologize."
"How dare you trouble your Lordship?" Zheng Yi bowed his hands and returned the greeting.
Li Qi stretched out his hand and said: "Please come in quickly."
"Thank you."
After Zheng Yi walked in, Li Qi closed the door and smiled at Zheng Yi: "Brother Zheng is here to see Madam, right? Madam is eavesdropping on me inside and will be out soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Qin's door opened, and she saw Mrs. Qin standing in front of the door with an angry face, saying: "Li Qi, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Qi shrugged and said with a smile: "Facts speak louder than words." He sat back as he said that.
Mrs. Qin suddenly realized that she had been deceived by Li Qi, and she felt regretful in her heart.
Fortunately, Zheng Yi knew Mrs. Qin better, so he laughed and said, "Sanniang, you're fine."
"Second brother."
Mrs. Qin looked embarrassed and bowed.
Zheng Yi smiled and nodded, and said to Li Qi: "Economic envoy, actually I'm here to see you this time."
Li Qi asked in astonishment: "Are you looking for me?"
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "Yes, I want to come and work at your place?"
"What!"
Li Qi and Mrs. Qin exclaimed in unison.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two looked at each other again, confusion in each other's eyes.
Mrs. Qin said hurriedly: "Second brother, you."
Zheng Yi didn't wait for Mrs. Qin to finish what she said, and said: "Sanniang, don't misunderstand me. In fact, this was decided after careful consideration. Yes, my family originally wanted me to work in the Ministry of Rites, but you also know that I have
I have been living in a state of confusion for the whole year, and my bones are all rusty, and I don’t know if I can still do it, so..."
He was originally a Jinshi, and after his meritorious service, he could actually be an official a few years ago. However, he was discouraged at the time and was afraid that he could not help but go to the Qin family and embarrass Mrs. Qin, so he ran away from home.
, after several years abroad. Even so, with the strength of the Zheng family and his reputation, it is really easy to become an official.
Li Qi smiled and said: "So you just want to come to my place to exercise and find some confidence to go back."
Zheng Yi smiled bitterly and said, "You can also say that."
Li Qi frowned and said, "Not to mention whether I will hire you, but once I hire you, you will have to work for a year. You have to think carefully."
Zheng Yi nodded and said, "I know this. One year is no more and no less. It's just right."
Li Qi nodded and said: "That's good. However, you still have to follow the rules. Let's do this. Madam will interview you this time."
Mrs. Qin frowned and said, "Why me?"
Li Qi curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid that if I make the decision without authorization, you'll scold me again."
"you."
Mrs. Qin snorted, turned her head and said to Zheng Yi: "Second brother, have you thought clearly?"
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "I have made my thoughts very clear, and my family has also agreed."
Mrs. Qin nodded slightly and then said to Li Qi: "If you ask me to interview the second brother, then I don't need to ask anything. I know the second brother's talents very well. He can be qualified for any position in this company."
Any one? Li Qi said depressedly: "Madam, could you please be a little considerate of my feelings?"
Zheng Yi also said sarcastically: "Sanniang, you praise me too much."
Mrs. Qin said calmly: "I'm just telling the truth."
Revenge! Naked revenge! Li Qi argued: "I didn't allow you to lie!"
What is this person's face made of? Mrs. Qin shook her head and sighed softly, remaining silent.
Mrs. Qin remained silent. Li Qi really had nothing to do with her, so he had to say to Zheng Yi: "Since Madam said so, then even if you passed the first round of interviews, oh, I almost forgot to ask you, are you
What position are you here to interview for?"
"Counting room."
Well, the accounting department is currently short of people. Li Qi nodded and suddenly frowned: "But our company's accounting department uses new algorithms, you?"
Zheng Yi said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I don't know. When I first returned to the capital, I heard about your new algorithm and studied it. If you give me a few days to familiarize yourself with it, there should be no problems."
Regarding knowledge, he is actually very proud at heart.
"That's good." Li Qi chuckled and said, "Well, I'll ask Uncle Wu to interview you later. If he says yes, that's fine."
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "Thank you very much." (To be continued...)
