- In the evening, Zhang Juzheng deliberately left work early and held a family dinner to see Zhao Hao off.
In fact, according to Zhang Xianggong¡¯s original intention, he invited Zhao Shouzheng to come with him. After all, it was Zhao Zhuangyuan who took office, not his son.
But who knows now, where is Zhao Shouzheng?
He is about to leave the day after tomorrow. Whether he can get home in time is still a question
Zhao Hao had no choice but to decline Xianggong Zhang¡¯s invitation on behalf of his father because of his unrecovered hip injury and bad conduct.
Fortunately, it was not Zhao Shouzheng that Zhang Juzheng wanted to see, because Mr. Zhang was accustomed to keeping a distance from people he could not see through.
At present, Xianggong Zhang always feels that this new No. 1 scholar is in the fog, saying that Zhao Shouzheng is mature and prudent, he can beat up Xiaoge Lao in the street.
It can be said that he has no ambitions, but you can see what he has done since entering the capital. Every step has been targeted, and he has gained such a great reputation and status without knowing it.
"Is it true, as Pang Shangpeng said, that this heavy sword has no edge, and is a traitor like a loyal one?"
So it¡¯s better not to contact him for now. After he has been an official for a few years, he will naturally learn the power of horses and the people¡¯s hearts.
So, Zhang Juzheng only hosted a banquet for Zhao Hao and Wang Wuyang.
The reason for inviting the senior brother is that he will succeed Zhao Hao as the science teacher of the Zhang family.
Mr. Zhang respects his teachers, so naturally he wants to offer Wang Wuyang a glass of wine.
??~~
After the family dinner, Wang Wuyang went to explain the test papers to brother Jingxiu, while Zhao Hao and Zhang Xianggong entered the study room three times.
After serving tea, Zhang Juzheng gently stroked his long beard and asked softly: "Have you decided to go to Suzhou?"
"Yes. The official complaint from the magistrate of Wu County has been sent to my home." Zhao Hao nodded. Of course, he collected it on his behalf.
"Wuxian" Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "If Taihu, Weaver, and Jushi can answer two of these three questions well, your father's answer sheet will be considered qualified."
"Junior, remember it." Zhao Hao nodded hurriedly, firmly remembering the advice from Mr. Zhang.
"Hey." But I heard Mr. Zhang sigh quietly: "Actually, going to Suzhou at this time is not a safe choice for your father."
"Why did your husband say this?" Zhao Hao asked softly.
"There are some things that even Bu Gu can't explain to you clearly. I believe that with your ability, you will understand it when you get to Suzhou." Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment, and then said carefully:
"Bu Gu can only tell you that a storm is about to sweep across the entire southeast, and Suzhou, as the center of the southeast, will undoubtedly become the center of this great change."
"Scientifically speaking, the center of the storm is actually clear and clear." Zhao Haoxin said, I am also the one who stirs up the wind and rain, let's make the storm more violent.
"Oh, really?" Zhang Juzheng saw that Zhao Hao was full of confidence, and thought that this boy dared to bully even the elder of the small pavilion. Naturally, he was also a man who was afraid of chaos in the world.
¡° His arsenic is my honey, maybe the more chaotic the situation, the happier this kid will be.
¡®Maybe we can fight poison with poison. ¡¯ Mr. Zhang shook his head and stopped talking.
??~~
Under the illumination of the orange palace lantern, Mr. Zhang¡¯s body shines brightly.
Mr. Zhang picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "Also, I received a letter from General Qi this morning. He said you want to contribute to the improvement of firearms for the Ming Dynasty?"
¡°I have some ideas, but I have nowhere to put them into practice.¡± Zhao Hao nodded.
"There are many problems with the Ming Dynasty's ordnance. You must be useful." Zhang Juzheng expressed his plan.
"But Bu Gu thought about it. With your status, it is not appropriate to serve in the Ministry of Industry. What do you think? Bu Gu asked Lei Butang of the Ministry of Industry to send a letter to the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, saying that you would represent the cabinet. Supervise the work of the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau."
"Isn't thisa bit of a fuss?" Zhang Juzheng's method avoided the cumbersome official procedures and gave him a high degree of freedom, which Zhao Hao certainly couldn't ask for.
It¡¯s just that the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau has two thousand craftsmen, supplying weapons and equipment for the entire Jinling garrison and all the prefectures in Southern Zhili. How important is this responsibility?
¡°I just want to find ten or eight gun masters like high-level blacksmiths to help me with my research.
I don¡¯t want to carry the entire Nanjing Ordnance Bureau on my shoulders.
¡°It¡¯s okay to make a fuss out of a molehill.¡± But Xianggong Zhang waved his hand and said decisively:
"Ever since Bugu took charge of the military, he has long been disgusted with the low production level of the Ordnance Bureau and the Military Warfare Bureau!"
"The former Bugu went to inspect and asked them to fire guns continuously, but the barrel exploded on the seventh shot! They tried seven more muskets in a row, and half of them had the same problem. This is what they carefully selected and showed Show it to Bu Gu!¡±?Zhang Juzheng was heartbroken and said:
"You can imagine what those blunderbuss that Bu Gu didn't see look like?"
Zhao Haoxin said that I was smart and only let Marshal Qi fire one shot.
"What's even more ridiculous is that after firing one shot, you have to wait ten breaths before firing the second shot. The longest range is only a hundred and fifty steps. In ten breaths, the Tatar cavalry has already touched their faces. Got it!"
I just heard Zhang Xianggong say angrily:
"Each blunderbuss costs twenty kilograms of iron and one hundred and seventy kilograms of charcoal to produce, and more than three taels of silver for labor and materials. On the battlefield, you can only fire one shot, and nine out of ten shots miss! How can this be a war? This is just throwing away the imperial court¡¯s money for fun! According to Yibugu, it¡¯s better to cancel the muskets and restore the crossbows!¡±
Speaking of which, Zhang Juzheng was so angry that he slapped the table and his beard exploded.
"My lord, please calm down. It takes three years to train an archer, but it only takes one month to train a musketeer, so it's still a good deal."
Although Zhao Hao advised Zhang Juzheng in this way, he actually gave a thumbs up to his idol in his heart.
In the long initial stage of the development of muskets, they were not as lethal as skilled archers.
But the problem is that with the low training level of the Ming Dynasty army, it is impossible to cultivate as many marksmen as the Tatars.
¡°That¡¯s a guy who eats for others, how can he be better than me?¡±
Therefore, it is still a simple and easy-to-use musket, most suitable for use by the Ming army.
What knowledge does Zhang Juzheng have? Nature also knows this. After complaining, you still have to face reality.
He looked at Zhao Hao with bright eyes and said:
"Bu Gu believes that science can help the Ordnance Bureau greatly improve these problems. With the talents of you and your disciples, you will definitely be able to develop faster and better firearms!"
"As he spoke, he smiled lightly and said: "Besides, I'm just asking you to supervise, and I'm not putting the Ordnance Bureau under your control. It's like patrolling a province. It's all done by young people, so you don't have to worry about anyone complaining."
Mr. Zhang settled the matter with a single word, leaving no room for Zhao Hao to shirk.
This made Mr. Zhao feel that the two idols were working together to plot against him.
But when it came to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Junior, just do your best."
"Haha, little friend, don't worry, Bugu won't let your work go in vain." Seeing that Zhao Hao finally took the bait, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand happily and said: "Just let your father be an official in Suzhou with peace of mind. Bugu will help him with matters in Beijing." I¡¯ll take care of it.¡±
Zhao Hao was elated when he heard this. Today he came to see Zhang Juzheng. The main purpose was not to recruit gun-making craftsmen, but to deal with the situation after Gao Gong returned!
With Zhang Idol¡¯s words, you shouldn¡¯t have to worry about tall beards anymore right?
