Qi Meng Xuanji - Chapter 215
Ten days later, Wan Suhe and Xuanji’s group finally reached a city 30 miles away from Ningjing.
This city is called Donglinbao, and it is one of the eight garrison cities that guard Ningjing. At the beginning of its construction, it was intended to be used as a reserve for the Beijing army. In the event of a war, it can interact with the other seven cities to form a periphery of the capital. Protective circle.
In the early years, the towns of Ningguo were segregated, and these cities were mainly used to prevent the separatist warlords in these areas. Later, the regime was slowly brought back to the Ning State imperial family, and the Ning State imperial house continued to fight, and the outside fought against Yue State for years. These cities gradually no longer had garrisons and became the capital of wealthy businessmen and merchants who often went in and out of Ningjing to do business. Most of the foreign merchants who do business in Ningjing will rest in these cities overnight before entering Ningjing.
Wan Suhe entered Donglin Fort, and led everyone into the official office in a low-key manner. The local governor here is named Zhang Changgong, who has been friends with Wan Suhe for many years.
This time, Ji Jianshen had made arrangements to deal with Ning Jun and others’ attempts to rebel, and Wan Suhe mainly came to preside over the coordination of personnel and deal with some emergencies.
In order to avoid rushing into trouble, they did not enter Ningjing directly, but chose to settle in the east side of the fort, which is convenient for monitoring the movement of Ningjing and suitable for mobilizing the army, just in case they can send troops to suppress the chaotic party and prevent chaos in Beijing.
Zhang Changgong is a credible person, and Wan Suhe and others have not disclosed any information about the Donglin Fortress. Xuanji and the others stayed in the backyard of the government office with peace of mind, and their days were quite stable.
Xuanji’s life is even more boring, and it can even be said to be busy.
First, I sorted out the operations of the financial department that I learned before, and then drafted a new management charter, especially the audit and supervision.
In addition, some of my own ideas have been sorted out and briefly recorded. For example, the financial department is divided into agriculture, infrastructure, military supplies, education, medical care, and scientific and technological development, etc., and a certain percentage is allocated from taxation every year. Funds are managed and distributed by each category. In addition to specialized financial management experts, there must also be consultants who are familiar with the industry to assist the corresponding government departments in planning the use of these funds. Every year at the end of the year, they must report the annual use of funds and their effects. Similar to the current national annual plan.
There is also the tax law. The tax law of the state is still at a relatively primitive and extensive stage. Taxes are paid according to the area of land occupied by each family. Farmers pay for food crops. Businesses pay for their own business products, and some collect silver. Management is not very convenient. Xuanji also knows that it is impossible for modern personal income tax to be implemented in the ancient times when information is not convenient, so I had to list some of my own ideas and let Ji Jianshen and Zhang Qiaoyu and other people who understand the actual situation weigh them. Works.
Xuanji saw all the things that could be improved along the way. There were all sorts of miscellaneous things, sometimes ordinary daily necessities, sometimes weapons, sometimes information transmission system, public transportation system construction, and even wanted to settle down in the world. Later, a canal that runs through the Lanjiang and Longjiang was opened, and so on.
Xuanji started to have a pen pal life with Ji Jianshen and wrote a letter every day. In addition to the gossip and love, there are many things related to state secrets in the letter. After all, it is dangerous to use carrier pigeons, so she had to use Shen’s intelligence system. Sending the letter, the two are far apart, and every time they receive a letter, they are talking about things that happened many days ago, making Xuanji miss the modern video chat, telephone and other convenient communication tools.
In addition to these, Xuanji also found new fun. This starts from the day they crossed Longjiang by boat.
When Xuanji and the others were on Longjiang, they naturally couldn’t help but think of the navy who was at war with the country of Yue, and then they remembered the small crossbow that was given to Ji Siyuan at the time. When the small crossbow was made, the craftsmen seemed to be very unfamiliar with this kind of thing, because it was just I gave it away as a gadget, so I didn’t consider issues such as aggressiveness and flexibility.
Xuanji, a musket and artillery, asked herself that she didn’t have that skill, but she could still do something with simple things like crossbows.
Zhao Shiyi in the assassin group that Shen sent to protect her was good at making and cracking the mechanism, so Xuanji immediately ordered Lan Qing to dig him out of the crowd to discuss the issue of making crossbows.
Sure enough, Zhao Shilu and others were all easily mixed with imperial commissioners, but Shen had his own set of methods of contact. Zhao Shiyi, dressed as an ordinary guard, appeared in front of Xuanji that night.
Xuanji handed over the rough blueprints drawn on the boat, and Zhao Shiyi’s eyes lit up. Three days later, Zhao Shiyi brought a **** baggage to Lan Qing.
Lan Qing called Lan Xi, invited Xuanji, and went to see Zhao Shiyi’s test shot. Although Xuanji thought of this thing, but after seeing the effect, she couldn’t tell whether it was good or not, because of ordinary bows and arrows. She has no idea what kind of effect the shooting will be, but Zhao Shiyi and Lan Qing and Lan Xi look surprised, they should be considered good.
Since then, Zhao Shiyi has developed an extremely keen interest in designing and making crossbows, and has become a frequent visitor to Xuanji. In order to make it easier to walk around in front of Xuanji, he also changed the status of a servant.
The technique of organs has always been regarded as not an orthodox technique, and there are fewer people who want to use them on the battlefield to make weapons. The inspiration of Xuanji made Zhao Shiyi find a brand new target. The two have more contact, and he even discovered that the art of organs Not only can it help kill the enemy and protect the country, but it can even be used for people’s livelihood, bringing great convenience, and the admiration of Xuanji in my heart is increasing day by day.
After arriving at the official office in the east fort, Xuanji simply asked Lan Qing to clean up a small room next to the small courtyard where she lived, so that Zhao Shiyi could draw drawings and experiment there, and secretly develop new ordnance. Originally simple crossbows, inspired by Xuanji, have developed a series of products that are wound with feet, can be fired continuously, and can fire many crossbow arrows at the same time.
Because of the shortage of production staff, Xuanji simply asked Wan Suhe to come forward and secretly invited a few craftsmen to lock in the official office day and night to experiment and make new weapons.
Such a big movement can’t be hidden from the master Zhang Changgong, but Wan Suhe has already explained in advance that no matter what the three women and servants he brought with him, they should not interfere, and they should keep secrets for them as much as possible, so they should not Saw.

That night, Xuanji had bathed, and spent all of Lan Qinglanxi in the room, closed the doors and windows and secretly wrote a small report to the big devil:
Counting the days, it has been almost a month since I left the capital. Life is passing fast. Have you received the crossbow drawings that Shen sent you before? Zhao Shiyi was thinking about making a bigger crossbow that could shoot farther. If you think it is good, I asked my uncle to find a craftsman here to make a batch for Liang Yongshen to use. It should be useful.
When thinking about how to make these bows and crossbows, I am very happy, and I think I can help you, but thinking about the lethality of these things, it will be very disturbed. It is impossible for weapons to go on the battlefield without killing people. It is not always possible to kill more people. A happy thing.
Just be happy! Lan Qing and Zhao Shiyi are eyeing every day, I’m sure I read it right! Although a man who works hard is very attractive, Lan Qing is not too picky. Zhao Shiyi studied the bow and crossbow indiscriminately day and night. The two dark circles are ugly, so Lan Qing can see it, hehe.
Zhao Shiyi changed his face and couldn’t see the original appearance. In his memory, he should still be a guy with good facial features. Sleeping more to eliminate the dark circles under the eyes, and Lan Qing is still a good match.
And Lan Xi, didn’t you look for Zhao Sixteen to compete in the first two days? The demeanor Zhao Sixteen didn’t keep his hands at all. He defeated Lan Xi by a few tricks. He accidentally cut Lan Xi’s sleeve, hahaha! Now every time I see Lan Xi, although he is still cold, I think he is also very embarrassed. so fun! Although Lan Xi was very angry, she seemed to admire Zhao Sixteen very much. If these two people also had a show, then it would be very worthwhile for me to come out this time!
Xuanji sealed the written credit with wax, and then Lan Qing and Lanxi came in and took the letter to Shen’s person.
“Lan Xi, what do you think of Zhao Sixteen?” Xuanji leaned over to hold Lan Xi in a very gossip manner.
“How about what?” A suspicious blush appeared on Lan Xi’s face.
“I think he is really annoying. I don’t know how to let a girl and embarrass you in public. He even led people to chase and kill my elder brother. I must take revenge on him.”
“No, no, I asked him to compete with him. If he deliberately kept his hands on me, he would look down on me. Moreover, he didn’t deliberately damage my clothes. You must never let the Lord punish him. Otherwise, I will be somebody, so how come I will have the face to see Shen’s brothers and sisters in the future? Besides, it is obvious that the Lord ordered Zhao Sixteen to do something to your eldest brother. You blame Zhao Sixteen on the head. It makes no sense.” Lan Xi is a little anxious, Xuanji has always been very nice to the people below, if she really punishes Zhao Sixteen for her own grievances, it would be bad.
“Hey, just take revenge on him, what can I join in the fun?” Xuanji said with a wicked smile.
“Me? My martial arts are so far away from him, how can I retaliate against him?” Lan Xi didn’t have the slightest desire to retaliate when he spoke.
Xuanji smiled even more treacherously: “I’ll give you a good idea! Marry him, eat and live his flowers for the rest of your life, and make him work!”
Lan Xi’s face exploded red on the spot, and he pushed Xuanji away with one hand, and said, “You are not serious, you are not ashamed of speaking!”
After Lan Qing sent the letter and came in, she just heard Lan Xi’s last sentence and asked: “What do you say? What did the lady say?”
Lan Xi was ashamed to answer, and stomped and ran away, leaving Xuanji behind with a smirk and repeating what had just been said to Lan Qing, which made Lan Qing angry and funny.
It’s great that Sister Lan Xi can put aside the previous things and find her own happiness! I just don’t know where my happiness is? Lan Qing couldn’t help but look to the east of the yard. In the cabin behind the wall, Zhao Shiyi was still drawing drawings. That person really didn’t know how to cherish himself.
Looking at her appearance, Xuanji was even more convinced that she had an affair with Zhao Eleven, uh, it was because she was interested in Zhao Eleven.
Hehe, just make sure that Zhao Sixteen and Zhao Eleven are also interested in Lan Qinglanxi.
Xuanji is not very interested in such matters as matchmaking. Anyway, just reminded him. The client is not in a hurry. What is it that he is anxious?
Although it is intentional, it is not suitable for staying together for a lifetime. They still have to slowly adapt themselves. I am now regarded as their mistress, once openly speaking, there is no room for reversal, and doing bad things with good intentions can lead to grievances.
Today’s 3k, and 3k will be very late, don’t wait anymore, leave early, go to bed, get up and watch tomorrow.
