In fact, Zhang Fengyi is a veteran. He can probably see that the Liu family just takes some money to use him.
But it doesn't matter. As an official, he is similar to the person who opens the door to do business. There is absolutely no reason to push the guests out of the door.
Moreover, he thinks he is the Minister of the Ministry of war and in charge of the troops and horses in the world. The generals of the general army everywhere have to listen to his orders, but let him be a middleman and a guarantee. If the other party doesn't agree to this, that is, he doesn't give him face. He also wants to use this time to test whether his face is worth 30000 Liang.
In his personal self-evaluation, he thinks his face is worth thirty thousand Liang.
Moreover, Zhang Fengyi is very short of money now, because Wen Tiren's birthday is coming, he hopes to give each other a good gift and a generous gift, hoping that when he has a problem, the other party can help him speak.
So the Liu family took out 30000 liang of silver. He accepted it impolitely.
Of course, he doesn't mean that he must accept the 30000 silver of the Liu family. If Liu Zeqing sends him 40000 silver, he will return the 30000 silver of the Liu family. However, Liu Zeqing doesn't give him face at all, so he says that he can get a little from the Liu family first.
This is called being an official for thousands of miles, only for money.
Liu Bu saw that it was so simple and easy to do things.
If an ordinary officer has excellent martial arts and brave fighting, he will fight with his life. After working for several years, he may not be able to become a garrison commander, but he will become an official immediately after he takes the money.
Moreover, Zhang Fengyi has no bottom line. He just sells officials. He also directly collects money and cares about local affairs. This is all for money. There is no bottom line.
Moreover, as the Minister of the Ministry of war of the Ming Dynasty and the first person in charge of the army, he is such a thing. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Can the people below be good?
Liu Bu got his consent from Zhang Fengyi. They sent 40000 liang of silver to the Shangshu house, and then exchanged it for a note, which said that Liu Bu was appointed as the garrison commander of Jimo camp.
The next day, with this two finger wide note, they directly entered the military headquarters and the key department of the military headquarters, the Staff Department.
They handed the note to the head of the staff secretary in charge. After reading the note, the other party nodded, and then immediately signed the letter of appointment for Liu Bu, issued the official uniform and waist token, and then he officially became the garrison commander of Jimo camp. The promotion was so simple that Liu Bu couldn't respond.
Liu Bu asked Liu Yuanshan, "is it that simple“
Liu Yuanshan said, "is that easy? You see how much money we have thrown for this position? It is estimated that if a person has worked in this position for three years, he may not be able to get 10000 liang of silver, so our offer is very high. Others can't afford this price. What reason does Zhang Fengyi have to refuse us?"
Liu Bu said, "there are such people who are officials in the world. What luck does Daming have?"
Liu Yuanshan said to him, "what do you mean? Only when you do your own things well can you manage the affairs of the world."
In fact, Liu Yuanshan has no interest in the world. His only interest is making money.
Liu Yuanshan said, "we have finished our business in the capital. The rest is to scatter the goods. Give these goods to Liu GUI and they will help us deal with them well. If there is nothing wrong, I want to go back to Jimo tomorrow."
Liu Bu said to him, "I want to see the capital so soon."
Liu Yuanshan said, "in fact, there is nothing to see here. When it comes to the prosperity of the city, he is not as good as Linqing, but more solemn than Linqing, because there is an emperor here? It is the center of the world."
Liu Bu feels the same. He still has some yearning for the capital. After all, this is the heart of the Ming Empire and the totem of the Ming world. However, after entering Beijing, it is not as beautiful as he imagined.
The streets here are dirty and full of garbage. The sewage flows across the ground, and mice run around. Many people urinate on the spot. What's more unpleasant is that many people ride horses without a dung belt behind the horse's ass. they pull them directly to the ground, making the ground even more dirty.
Liu Buhe followed his soldiers around the city outside Beijing. It gave him the impression that it was dirty and messy. It was also the capital of the Ming Empire? The most prosperous city in the world today.
It's much better for them to enter the inner city. After all, the people living here are dignitaries, and there are people responsible for cleaning in the streets. There are no signs of urination, spitting and littering.
However, Liu Bu still had a bad impression. It felt a little dignified because it was the center of the world and the place of the emperor. However, there was nothing else except dignified. Most of the buildings here were very old, just like this ancient empire. Liu Bu and his family returned to the mansion before sunset. He climbed up and looked far and found that the whole capital was in the sky Under the cover of the sunset, there is an unspeakable melancholy.
This is the sunset of the Empire, the best portrayal of the Ming Empire now.
Liu Bu is not a man who worries about new words, and he doesn't have so many worries. He knows why he feels this way, that is, he knows that this place will be broken by rogue rebels in ten years, and then it will become the territory of building slaves and the capital of the braided Empire in less than half a year, Then the last Han Dynasty perished and entered the three hundred years of great retrogression in history.
Over the past few thousand years, China has always been leading the world and leading the world trend. However, after the braid Empire took charge, the West has been using the dividends of great navigation and began to capitalize. Daming is making a big step backward, which makes the whole Chinese nation start to regress, and finally become a weak country and a second-class nation in the world.
So when he came here, combined with this scene, there was an unspeakable melancholy and sadness in his heart.
Looking at the majestic and ancient city of Beijing, Liu Bu has a feeling that he is looking at an old man in a shroud. Although he still seems to be alive, in fact, he is corrupt from the heart and is not far from death.
Liu Bu put aside these negative emotions. He returned to his duty room in the mansion to meet Mao Qiao. Mao Qiao brought five craftsmen today.
Mao Qiao is very happy and excited. He is very proud to invite five master craftsmen to come. These were his teachers in the Bureau of military equipment and have guided his work. Now he feels very excited and gratified that he can give back to these teachers.
But when Liu Bu saw that there were only five people, his face immediately became gloomy and looked a little unhappy.
I Liu Bu is a person with status and status. Now that I have made a move, I must get some benefits, but they came to do it with great fanfare and only got five people back. What does that mean? His workshop is short of more than five people.
Liu Bu seemed a little unhappy and absent-minded because there were few people on the other side. Even when Mao Qiao introduced the names of the five craftsmen one by one, he didn't pay attention and didn't remember the other's name at all.
When Mao Qiao finally proudly introduced the people, Mao Qiao asked, "adult, what do you think of these people?"
Liu Bu said angrily, "how do I know? These are not beautiful women. They are all exposed outside. Moreover, you have called five people after tossing for so long. If there are only five people on this trip, we are very unworthy and in vain."
Liu Bu said so directly, which embarrassed several craftsmen, but they saw that Liu Bu was wearing a Kirin suit and was a five grade military attache. They didn't dare to offend him easily.
Mao Qiao was a little embarrassed. He said: "There are only a few people willing to come now, but I dare to assure you that they are all skilled craftsmen. Master Zhang is good at striking armor, Master Li is good at striking fire and spears, master Zhou is good at striking swords, Master Wang is good at striking bows and arrows, and master Gao is good at making cars. They all have their own strengths. When they come to Fushan, you will find it true after you see their skills This trip. "
Liu Bu thought there were few people. He said, "why don't you find more people? What's the use of a few people?"
Master Li, who is good at making bird guns, said, "what we do now is technical work. We eat technical food. What's the use of many people? We can only do it with technology. A hundred people without technology can't do it."
Liu Bu asked, "let me ask you, how many birds do you shoot a month?"
Master Li said proudly, "I can make three bird guns a month."
He has his reasons for complacency, because ordinary craftsmen can make up to one bird gun a month, but he can make three, which shows that his technical speed is still quite qualified and powerful.
Even Mao Qiao introduced him on one side. He said: "Master Li's fire gun is among the best in the military Bureau. His bird gun is the most popular and never explodes."
Liu bu he was not happy to hear the news. Instead, he was disappointed to the extreme. He said, "three sticks a month, so what do I need three birds? Why are you going to do thirty-six things a year? You will be willing to work on the job, and only thirty-six. What does this official want to do with thirty birds?"
When he asked Master Li, he was a little embarrassed, but he was also a little unconvinced. He said, "I don't believe there are people playing faster than me. If there is, my old Li left immediately and didn't charge a penny."
Liu Bu asked him, "can you make Lumi gun?"
