Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 374 A Good Beginning, Half the Success

The setting sun struggled hard in the sky, and in the orange light, the whole busy arsenal gradually returned to calm.

The cleaning farmers have pulled out the weeds in the entire workshop, the countertops have been scrubbed spotlessly, and all the officials have been deployed one after another.

Xu Mao's punctuality really made Li Xian click his tongue, saying that he arrived at You hour, and it was exactly right.

Li Xian sat up from his seat after having had enough sun for the whole day, glanced sideways at the setting sun and at the officials who were chatting in the main hall, and sighed softly.

"There are three fires for a new official to take office. It seems that I also have to light a few fires to prop up the whole stall."

Swinging hands behind their backs into the main hall, the officials who were still discussing the countermeasures automatically lined up on both sides, and bowed to Li Xian who walked in.

It really made Li Xian live a low-ranking official status but held power. He glanced at the huge blank screen in the hall, took a second look, and sat behind the long case.

Sweeping across the standing officials, Li Xian said with a smile.

"From now on, all of you will be colleagues. You are in the same room for military affairs. You don't need to be too cautious. Let's all sit down."

After the words fell, just like in the film and television drama, all the officials bowed to express their thanks and sat upright.

"It's the arsenal, so it should look like it should be. Tomorrow, I'll buy a bolt of high-quality silk and satin to decorate the hall of the arsenal."

Pointing sideways to the huge screen behind him, Li Xian continued.

"There is no need to carve dragons and draw phoenixes here. Hanging a picture of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, or a masterpiece of scenery can also refresh your mind and make you feel happy."

"Also, warning slogans should be hung around the camp, such as safe manufacturing, beware of candles and so on."

"The things we have to make all day long will destroy the world. I don't want to go home because of a momentary negligence."

Originally thought that Li Xian would talk about the law and military regulations when the new official took office, but it never turned out that it was like talking about such trivial matters as moving house and moving the courtyard, and the officials at the side of the hall looked at each other in blank dismay.

When he was puzzled, Li Xian, who was at the top of the hall, spoke again.

"The general in charge of the camp guards came out and told everyone about the guarding situation."

The lieutenant in silver armor was actually surprised by Li Xian's actions. How can a new official let his subordinates come forward to talk about things?
What's more, wasn't this guarding rule mentioned earlier when these officials were recruited?
With three points of doubt, the captain came out of the line and bowed to the first seat in the hall. Amidst the rustling of the armor plates, he announced the military regulations in a correct voice.

"Within five miles of the Firearms Camp, all are restricted areas, and only those with a special military talisman can enter."

"Patrols outside the city take turns, loosely focusing on the inner city during the day, and taking care of both inside and outside at night."

"The newly built city wall is guarded by archers. There are three steps, one post and ten steps. There are more than [-] garrison soldiers, and they are dead. Unknown people who come close will be killed."

Hearing this kind of military regulations, other people didn't feel any disturbance in their hearts, but Li Xian sounded like he was in a cold sweat.

This is Li Shimin's real move. Even the outer city was under surveillance, but he didn't realize it!
I don't know if one day I quit, will I be killed by Li Shimin to seal up the secret of the firearm...

Judging from Li Shimin's temperament of killing his brother and forcing his father, he still has to do some practical things in the future, so as not to annoy the king, and the consequences will be disastrous.

There was a lot of reverie in his mind, and he stared blankly ahead, until Li Xian felt several pairs of eyes focus on him, and then he came back to his senses.

Concentrating his thoughts, he glanced at the figure sitting in the hall, and Li Xian slowly got up and sat upright.

"Uh...well, where is the cook?"

"Report some of the usual three meals, so that the official will know."

Considering that this is the first special meeting, according to the urine nature of later generations, regardless of the content, the time should be full.

At least let the officials realize that they have complete control over the overall situation, and also let the craftsmen and farmers outside the house know that their boss has important issues to discuss inside.

The cook in the sheepskin coat was called out from the backyard, rubbing the mud on his hands uneasily, and followed the soldiers to the hall.

When he walked into the hall, he saw the accompanying soldiers walking away, but he didn't dare to look up at the head of the hall, and he stuttered a bit when he spoke.

"Breakfast at Chenshi, mainly soup cakes...or corn porridge, supplemented by vegetable soup."

"At noon, Hu Bing is served with a slice of meat, mainly rice, occasionally...occasionally served with wontons, as a substitute..."

After listening and listening, Li Xian finally understood.

It's nothing more than the gnocchi of later generations, especially this lunch, not to mention the portion, is really too shabby.

I can be regarded as an official of Siping anyway, so I just eat and eat with these soldiers?

Waving to interrupt the cook's words, Li Xian spoke uprightly.

"As a special workshop for making magical weapons, eating these is really too simple."

"From today onwards, everything will be reformed. The food should be exquisite, the porridge should be full of meat, and the soup should be thick. The golden shortbread for breakfast must be crispy and oily, full of fragrance. Lunch should also be particular about it. Just a few bowls of rice, who Can you eat it? Chicken with green onion and vinegar, one for five people, one for five people, one for ten people."

"One must eat well, have clear eyes to do small tasks well, and have a strong body to hold firearms tightly. From now on, we will light fires according to this standard, as I said! Whoever has any objections, let him come to me."

After the words fell, everyone on the four sides of the hall stared wide-eyed, showing astonishment.

Even these fifth and sixth rank officials are reluctant to eat some food, and they are actually going to be used for these craftsmen and farmers who work?
This... is this treating the Firearms Camp like a palace?
Yu Guang, the cook in the hall, looked timidly at Du Zhi, who was frowning, and didn't know what to do for a while.

As the second chief of the entire firearms battalion, Xu Mao lightly raised his eyebrows and sat motionless on the seat, but his thoughts had already set off an uproar.

Did this young master who came back from the battlefield really understand the financial reporting and expenditure limits of each workshop, or did he encourage these officials to fight?
Offering such a meal is comparable to going on vacation. Where is this for work?
There was no sound in the entire hall, and the officials who sat down had strange faces. You look at me, I look at you, not knowing how to say this matter.

Li Xian waved his hand without waiting for these people to speak.

"Okay, that's all for today."

"Tomorrow, a large amount of saltpeter and sulfur will be excavated from the mines, and will be refined and purified by the craftsmen before distribution."

"Everyone, let's go and rest early."

The officials who have not fully recovered from the previous shock were once again stunned.

that's it?
One sentence will finish the whole matter?
Is this one sentence the key point in the whole conversation about feelings?

Facing the confused eyes of many people gathered together, Li Xian nodded seriously.

Standing up from the seat, slightly relaxing the muscles and bones, and yawning.

"That's it, it's time for me to pack up and take a rest early."

Seeing no response from everyone in the hall, Xu Mao smiled all over his face, stood up and bowed slightly, and bowed towards the four seats.

"Everyone came all the way to help, the journey is exhausting, take a rest earlier."

"Everything can be done according to the words of the servant."

Meeting such an unreliable boss, all the officials showed strange faces, got up and saluted, and walked out of the hall of the house.

The moment he stepped out of the hall door, rustling words came out.

"This... this reformed meal ever counted?"

"...What are you thinking? Mr. Li is the son of the Duke of the state, he is well-clothed and well-fed, and these are just his daily routine..."

"Then what is the purpose of today's meeting...?"
