Tang Yin appoints Xia Yufu to supervise the Ordnance Department, but Xia Yufu rarely goes to the Ordnance Department. He usually stays at home, draws drawings, and orders his servants to send them to the Ordnance Department, which is then made by Xuan Wang. The drawings drawn by Xia Yufu, not to mention that Tang Yin, a layman, can't understand them. Even xuanwang, an expert, has many things that seem to understand.
The mechanism technique pays attention to precision without any carelessness. Xuanwang now runs at both ends of the Ordnance Department and Qiqiao villa with drawings almost every day.
He said he would go to Qiqiao villa to find Xia Yufu. Tang Yin happened to go with him.
The construction location of Jiqiao villa is very ingenious, which was agreed by Tang Yin. It is on the mountain of Fengguo zongmiao, which is on the top of the mountain, while Jiqiao villa is located on the hillside of the back mountain. Although it is very close to Yancheng and has picturesque scenery, there are no visitors all year round. The ancestral temple is an important place that ordinary people can easily approach. The whole mountain is blocked and guarded by the imperial court guards of the wind kingdom. Being built here, Qiqiao mountain villa is protected by the guards of the wind country, which is beautiful and far away from the world, and its safety is guaranteed.
Without words on the way, Tang Yin and xuanwang came to Qiqiao villa.
Qiaoqiao villa is used to xuanwang's visit, but it's not trivial to hear that Tang Yin, the king of the wind, has also come. Xia Jie, the leader of Qiaoqiao villa, personally went out to meet him.
Tang Yin and Xia Jie have dealt with each other for a long time, but they met for the first time. Xia Jie looks only in his early 40s. He is well maintained. He has a white face and a black beard. He is handsome, well-dressed, generous and decent, elegant and gentle. At a glance, he knows that he is a very cultured person.
His first impression of Xia Jie was good, and Xia Jie was surprised by his appearance. Tang Yin is much younger than he thought, and in his mind, Tang Yin is either a fierce and vicious face, or a sharp faced monkey face and sinister and cunning appearance, but in fact, neither of them is. Tang Yin is handsome, has deep and resolute facial features, but the corner of his mouth rises naturally, with a natural smiling face, which gives people a soft feeling, Also very happy, it is easy to make people feel good.
"Old man Xia Jie, meet your highness King Feng!" After a look, Xia Jie first saluted and said hello.
Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand and said, "I have heard a lot about Mr. Xia. Mr. Xia, please get up!" Tang Yin called Xia Jie Mr. and was very polite to him.
"Your Highness King Xie Feng, please come inside!" Xia Jie turned sideways and let Tang Yin in the villa.
Tang Yin was not polite either. He walked towards the villa with his hands on his back and a smile on his face.
Although he only wears ordinary cloth clothes now, his momentum can not be underestimated. Xia Jie and xuanwang followed.
Entering the villa, Tang Yin looked around. Qiqiao villa has just been built. No matter the house, the courtyard wall, or even the stone paved on the ground, it is brand-new. Tang Yin asked with a smile, "is Mr. Xia still used to living here?"
"Thank you for your concern. I'm used to it." Xia Jie is not saying polite words. In fact, his life has not changed much from before. He just changed his place. His food, clothing, housing and transportation are the same as before.
"That's good." Tang Yin nodded and said, "if Mr. Xia has any requirements, just ask the court and if you can answer, I will try my best to answer."
"Thank you for your kindness!" I don't know. Xia Jie was shocked at the sight. He never dreamed that Tang Yin would be such an easy-going and polite person. No wonder so stubborn Yufu was willing to work for him.
Entering the hall, Xia Jie gave Tang Yin the seat of the Lord, and he sat at his hand.
After a short time, the servants of the villa brought tea and snacks. Shangguan brothers and a San and a Si came forward to take over. They checked one by one and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. Then they put it in front of Tang Yin.
Tang Yin picked up the cup and took a sip. The tea was fragrant and refreshing. He praised: "good tea."
Xia Jie smiled and said, "it's better... The new tea on Yuquan mountain in Ningdi."
Tang Yin doesn't know where Yuquan mountain is and what's special about the new tea in Yuquan mountain. Seeing Xia Jie's slightly proud appearance, I think he is very famous! He put down his tea cup and asked casually, "Mr. Xia has also arranged many mechanism traps in the villa?"
Xia Jie was stunned at first, and then did not hide it. He nodded and said, "yes, king."
Tang Yin smiled. To tell the truth, he came near from outside the villa and really observed carefully all the way, but he didn't even see a mechanism or trap, which only shows that the layout of Qiqiao villa is too clever. Tang Yin asked again, "Mr. Xia doesn't even have mechanisms in this hall?"
If the hall is full of mechanisms, the king will turn the hall into an empty one. If the hall is full of people, the hall will be completely closed. If the hall is not filled with oil, the king will say, "if the hall is full of people, the hall will be completely closed."
After hearing this, the expressions of xuanwang, Shangguan brothers and ah San and ah Si were somewhat unnatural. It turned out that they were standing on the fire oil now! Subconsciously, they looked down at their feet and the doors and windows around them. They had an unspeakable taste in their hearts.
Tang Yin smiled on his back, picked up his thumb and praised: "it's good and clever. The villa is really like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. When the king builds the palace in the future, he may have to ask Mr. Xia for advice."
Xia Jie's face was positive, and he arched his hand and said, "you're welcome. As long as you have your life, I will serve you."
Tang Yin heard the speech and burst into laughter again.
After chatting with Xia Jie for a long time, Tang Yin never saw Xia Yufu appear. Tang Yin not only asked curiously, "isn't miss Yufu at home?"
Xia Jie grinned secretly and said, "the little girl is at home. Now she should be in the boudoir..." he sent someone to find Xia Yufu, but he hasn't seen Xia Yufu's shadow until now. Xia Jie seemed a little embarrassed.
Tang Yin disagreed, got up and said, "I haven't seen Miss Yufu for a long time, and I miss it very much. In addition, Lord Xuan still has some questions to ask Miss Yufu. I will go and have a look with Lord Xuan."
"Oh... I'll show you the way." Let Tang Yin, the monarch, find Yufu in person. Even Xia Jie thinks his daughter is too impolite.
Tang Yin has no airs. He also knows Xia Yufu's temper, so he doesn't mind. He talks and laughs with Xia Jie and walks to the backyard of the villa.
Xia Yufu is a girl who hasn't come out of the cabinet and comes from a famous family. The rules of the boudoir should be elegant, but the chaos in her room makes Tang Yin feel new. When he knocked on the door, no one answered. Xia Jie simply pushed the door and entered, and Tang Yin also walked in.
As soon as he entered Xia Yufu's room, Tang Yin felt that his feet slipped and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and stabilized his body in time. Xia Jie, who was next to him, was startled. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "be careful, king!"
Tang Yin looked down at his feet. It turned out that he stepped on a smooth sheet of iron. He raised his eyes to the left and right. Well, where is the girl's boudoir? It's even more messy than the warehouse. All kinds of strange wooden boards, pieces of wood and pieces of iron are everywhere. Some are placed on the table, and most of them are scattered on the ground. If you go inside, you don't even have a place to stay.
Xia Jie's face was red, ashamed and angry. He swallowed her mouth and smiled. "Little girl should be in the back room, the king... Just wait for a while outside the house, and the old man looks for the little girl to come out..."
Tang Yin smiled. He could see Xia Jie's embarrassment. He waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xia, don't blame Miss Yufu. Miss Yufu is extremely smart and obsessed with mechanism skills. She is a rare mechanism wizard. It's not surprising that genius doesn't stick to details."
Unexpectedly, Yufu was so rude that Tang Yin would speak for her. Xia Jie was very surprised. Just when Xia Jie didn't know what to say, Xia Yufu's voice came out of the inner room: "I haven't seen you for many days. I'm glad that the wind king is still so eloquent. I'll find a place to sit by myself. If I can't find it, I'll go out and sit. I don't have time now."
When Xia Jie heard the speech, the blush on his face suddenly turned into sauce purple, but this time he was angry. Is Tang Yin an ordinary person? That's the king of a country. Can you be so negligent, come and go at once?
Before he had time to reprimand Xia Yufu, Tang Yin said: "Miss Yufu is busy first. I'm here... The book Pavilion is talking. Tang Yin walked to the table and picked up the unfinished gadgets on it and played around.
Xia Yufu in the inner room seemed to have a perspective and said, "don't move anything in the room. If you touch the mechanism, the wind king will suffer a lot again."
Tang Yin, who suffered from the falling of dragon scales last time, still remembers you Xin until now. Hearing Xia Yufu's words, he hurried to put back the things in his hand like an electric shock.
Tang Yin is used to the cold words of Xia Yufu, but Xia Jie can't stand it. If Tang Yin gets angry and blames it, the whole Qiqiao villa will be overwhelmed. He tried to keep his voice down and angrily scolded, "Yufu, the king has arrived. How can you let the king wait here?"
"Wait, you won't die. If I can't finish what I'm doing, I'll really die." The murmur of Xia Yufu came from the inner room.
"You..."
Tang Yin interrupted Xia Jie's next words in time. He said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, don't bother Miss Yufu any more. It doesn't matter if Wang waits here. If Mr. Xia has something to do, he can be busy first."
Xia Jie didn't dare to leave Tang Yin here alone. He sighed, shook his head and said, "it's my fault that I spoil my little girl too much. The king must forgive me."
Tang Yin smiles on her back and waves her hand to show that it doesn't matter. Xia Yufu may be arrogant sometimes, but she does have arrogant capital.
Now Tang Yin's concept of employing people is also changing. At the beginning of the war, his standard of employing people is to attach importance to talent and morality. People who want both talent and morality can help him and be loyal to him. Now, his foundation has been stable, and re selecting talents has become to attach importance to talent rather than morality. No matter what the other party's virtue is, as long as they have talent, they will reuse them.
