Borrow the day to change the day

After a while, Sun Chengzong turned his head and said to Zhong Jinwei: "This matter has been going on for a long time, and it involves the interests of all parties. You have also seen the extensive involvement in this rape case. If someone mentions this matter, there must be countless people who refute the attack." The memorial will be presented to the imperial court. The old man was attacked by them a few years ago and had to go home to recuperate. If it wasn’t for you this time, I don’t know if he is still in Gaoyang.”

After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei didn't know what to say.He understood that if he was in Sun Chengzong's position, he might not be able to maintain the situation in Liaodong while fighting with all kinds of people.

Fortunately, I traveled directly in front of Emperor Chongzhen, treated him honestly, saved his life by chance, and my prophecies were fulfilled one by one, so I gained his trust.

In fact, there is another reason why Zhong Jinwei gained the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, that is, he didn't have any intention of making profits for himself, and even donated the profits to the court, and he didn't want to be an official to deal with other people, and he was willing to give advice behind the scenes.And his own ability is not weak, helping Emperor Chongzhen solve one problem after another.Against the backdrop of Emperor Chongzhen's disappointment with other courtiers, it seemed that he had to rely heavily on Zhong Jinwei.

It is the combination of the above reasons that Emperor Chongzhen's trust in Zhong Jinwei gradually deepened until today's full trust. [

Sun Chengzong suddenly lifted his spirits, and said in an excited tone: "This time, the assassination of you has led to such a large-scale murder case. Although they were pardoned in the end, it can be regarded as giving them a jng minute."

When he said this, he looked at Zhong Jinwei and said: "After the reform of the imperial court's supervision system, I have some confidence in the follow-up administration of officials in Ming Dynasty. Speaking of which, I have to thank you!"

"Thank me for what?" Zhong Jinwei didn't understand what Sun Chengzong meant, and looked at him suspiciously.

"I added salary to the old man, haha..." As soon as Sun Chengzong didn't suppress his voice, the laughter spread far away, attracting the soldiers in the roadside camp to look over one after another.

Zhong Jinweiyu secretly thought that you, Mr. Sun, still need this little money?

In fact, it is not the amount of money, but the attitude.After more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it finally began to care about the welfare of officials, so that officials can feel the grace of the court, and the mood is naturally happy.

For example, a company organizes an employee open r activity, allowing them to bring their families to play together, but the employees have to pay for the family members' meals in the cafeteria.A meal in the cafeteria only costs about ten yuan, but in the eyes of the family members, whether your company pays ten yuan or not has a completely different feeling.

Sun Chengzong patted the horse's buttocks, let the horse trot, and said loudly: "If you get more salary, you will do more work, let's go!"

Zhong Jinwei looked at Sun Chengzong's back, thinking that this old man Sun is really kind.At the moment, he was also a horse's belly, and he chased after him.

They came to the northwest corner of the camp, a place used for artillery training.

There was already a group of people standing inside, and when they saw Sun Chengzong and his party passing by, they hurriedly greeted them.

"Governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, Li Fengjie and Wang Zunde are here to see the soldiers and supervisors." The first two senior red-robed officials signed up for the meeting. When they saw Sun Chengzong and his party, others had introduced the identities of Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei, so they talked No one was missed.

Sun Chengzong got off his horse and said: "You two have worked hard."

Zhong Jinwei then got off his horse and looked at the two people in front of him.He had never heard of the names of these two frontier officials, and he was a little bit worried before that it would take so long for these two men to charge the guns from Guangzhou to Beijing.Now, seeing the two of them dressed in dust and dust, especially the one on the left, whose complexion was not good, as if he was sick, he felt a little sorry for his previous thoughts.

After the two parties met the ceremony, Li Fengjie immediately introduced a Westerner who was following them: "This is Xilao from Gongsha, Folangjiren, the Western leader of gunsmiths, craftsmen and companions who came to the capital this time. "

The Westerner was of medium build, about 40 years old, and had stayed in Macau for a long time, so he knew Chinese. Now when Li Fengjie introduced him, he stood up and saluted quickly: "Portuguese captain Gongsha's Silao, please refer to the soldier and the supervisor."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Jinwei confirmed, "Are you a Portuguese professional soldier?"

Xilao of Gongsha knew that this young man was a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly replied: "Yes, Lord Supervisor."

"Xilao in Gongsha is your Chinese name?" Zhong Jinwei felt that this name was too inexplicable. [

Hearing Zhong Jinwei's question, he was a little embarrassed, touched his big nose and explained: "My name is Gonzawa, Deixeira, and Kari. People in your country call me Xilao of Gongsha."

"Oh, Gonzawa is your name, right?" Zhong Jinwei knew that the names of British and American countries came first and last, but they didn't know if it was Portuguese, so they couldn't confirm.

Gonza was a little surprised. He didn't expect that people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty would know the customs of Portugal. He nodded and said, "Yes, Master Supervisor."

Li Fengjie and Wang Zunde were also a little surprised that the young supervisor would know, but Sun Chengzong was not surprised at all. Zhong Jinwei had originally returned from overseas, so it was strange to know the names and habits of overseas people.

"Lead the way ahead, let's see how the artillery is." Sun Chengzong ordered when Zhong Jinwei finished asking.

Gonza immediately turned around and led the way, while Li Fengjie and Wang Zunde walked behind Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei.

The artillery had already been placed on the emplacement, and there were Portuguese gunners standing beside each gun, and there were even a few yellow-skinned gunners in Portuguese military uniforms.

These cannons are all red-clothed cannons, which are cannons on Portuguese warships.It was the same as Zhong Jinwei saw when he visited the museum in later generations, which made him a little disappointed.

Zhong Jinwei was not interested in this kind of primitive artillery, so he didn't go up to look at it.

But Sun Chengzong was different. His eyes were shining, just like a carpenter seeing Lu Ban's work. He asked some questions and walked forward to touch the gun body, looking back and forth, left and right.

Zhong Jinwei looked at Sun Chengzong's earthen appearance, and thought to himself, if he brought a war movie from later generations when he crossed over, and let old man Sun see the war scene where thousands of guns were fired, what kind of expression would he have? .

Sun Chengzong didn't bother, he looked at every cannon carefully.Because he told Zhongxinghou about the quality of the artillery when he first came here, so after reading it, he wanted to express his feelings to Zhongxinghou beside him.Unexpectedly, he turned his head and didn't find Zhong Jinwei. While looking around, he asked, "Where is Zhongxing Hou?"

Li Fengjie, who followed beside him, saw that Sun Chengzong was looking for Zhong Jinwei, so he quickly pointed it out to him and said, "The supervisor is staying there and hasn't come over."

Sun Chengzong looked in the direction of Li Fengjie's fingers, and found that Zhong Jinwei was really staying at the very beginning, chatting with his guards, not paying attention to these red cannons at all.

"Young people are so lazy, and they don't come to check the artillery. It's a shame!" Sun Chengzong sighed.

The few people around also had the same idea as Sun Chengzong, thinking that Zhong Jinwei was too lazy to leave.Although they didn't show any expressions of contempt for Zhong Jinwei on the surface, they almost looked down on He Nai towards the young people in their hearts.

In Gonza's heart, apart from having the same heart of belittling Zhong Jinwei as everyone else, there is also some joy in his heart. The lazy the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty are, the more they will rely on themselves.

Sun Chengzong took the lead towards Zhong Jinwei, ready to talk to him.

And Zhong Jinwei was still chatting with Gu Baichuan, not looking this way.Li Lao Si saw Sun Chengzong and his group coming, and quickly reminded in a low voice: "They have all finished watching."

Zhong Jinwei looked up and greeted with a smile: "Master Sun, are you done checking?"

"The old man is finished reading, why don't you go and have a look? This cannon was bought directly from Macau's Folang Machine." Sun Chengzong meant that the cannon was imported, so wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't go and have a look?
