Chapter 291 Governor
boom!
On the edge of the Xuanfu school field, there is a specially reserved [-]-step field for the artillery team to practice. When the artillery exploded, Zhao Shizhen looked forward with a torch, and urged the left and right: "charge the powder, charge the powder."

After a while, the rider galloped back and said loudly: "Missed, missed by two feet!"

Zhao Shizhen patted his turban, and the gunners of the three cannons in front of him were waiting for him to give orders again. He shook his head, and was about to adjust the positions of the cannons again, when he saw General Zhenshuo’s rider running up on the school grounds, reining in his horse and sending an order: "Mr. , the general invites you to return home."

The torch was handed over to others, and the soldiers were asked to pull the artillery back. Zhao Shizhen took the order and got on his horse with the depression of absolutely dodging the hit, and returned to the general's mansion with the rider.

He kind of understood the reason why Chen Mu's handwriting was not always good-looking. Maybe it was just like his inability to shoot with a cannon. It required talent.

"How's your record today?"

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw Chen Mu stretching his two arms, and the two maidservants beside him fiddled with putting on scarlet gowns with scarlet lion patterns. The two maidservants put on a rhinoceros horn belt around the general, and hung a dental plaque on the general's waist.

Zhao Shizhen tilted his head and felt dissatisfied, and said, "There was no single shot."

Chen Mu nodded. Before he asked Zhao Shizhen, he knew this was the result again. After learning for more than a month, Zhao Shizhen was proficient in playing and letting go, but for some reason, Zhao Shizhen was playing the same action with the same rules not allowed.

Ni Shangzhong, who learned artillery with Zhao Shizhen, was different. After learning for more than half a month, he was able to shoot [-] paces away. When he was happy, he even carried two waist knives for a while during the school dance.As for Zhao Shizhen, the more he practiced, the more depressed he became.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhao can distinguish between work and entertainment. Whenever he walks into General Zhenshuo's mansion, he is not affected by the outside affairs. He cups his hands and asks Chen Mu: "Why is the general dressed neatly today? Is he going to meet guests?"

"It's not meeting guests, it's welcoming the governor."

Potatoes and sweet potatoes retreated, Chen Mu sat on the chair with his long sleeves folded, shook his head and said, "The new governor of the Xuan Mansion has arrived, and Chen doesn't feel very well. Chen knew who the new governor was, but now he suddenly notified the governor to take office and asked Chen to go to meet him."

"Things are abnormal, it's not a bad thing to be cautious."

While speaking, the attendants outside the mansion had already prepared their horses, and Chen Mu led Zhao Shizhen, Long Junxiong and others restrained their hems and got on their horses, heading east all the way.

Chen Mu felt that the new governor was here for him, and he acted in a secretive way, but when he arrived at the Xuanfu, he sent a letter asking him, the dignified General Zhenshuo, to go to the Military Weapons Bureau to greet him, which was very obvious.

When the governor takes office, he must first check his work!

Chen Mu was indignant about this, and immediately complained to Zhao Shizhen all the way: "Chang Ji, tell me, now Mr. Gao Ge ordered all localities to check their performance every year. Now that the governor is here, is it true that Mr. Chen will definitely give him a big gift in terms of political performance? Come here and check me out mysteriously!"

What was Xuanfu like last year?What is Xuanfu like this year?
That is the difference between before Chen Mu took office and after he took office.The military expenditure is saved by 12 taels a year, and the self-made ordnance, blunderbuss, and artillery can do everything. Although the number of troops has not increased, the combat power of the Banner Army has improved to a higher level.

In every aspect, the new governor and Wang Chonggu don't have to care about the Xuanfu. This year's performance of the Xuanfu is definitely going to be the top among all the prefectures.

Not to mention, Wang Chonggu is building a horse market in the frontier, and when the horse market is completed and the court approves it, the tax revenue will be higher.

"Chang Ji, who do you think will be the governor of Xuanfu this time?"

Zhao Shizhen immediately followed suit, and immediately replied after hearing Chen Mu's question: "I don't know, but there are traces in the memorials of the cabinet ministers, and they should be selected from the servants of the Ministry of War."

Gao Gong mentioned in the memorial some time ago that in the future, a system will be formed in which the ministers of the Ministry of War will be released to other places, and the local governors will be returned to the ministers of the Ministry of War, so as to avoid the predicament that the governors of various places do not know about military affairs and do not know how to use soldiers. Only in this way can the local military equipment be strengthened.

"I think the same as you." Chen Mu also guessed the secretive candidate for the governor of the Xuanfu based on the memorial approved by the emperor, but he thought about it, "Although Tan Butang and Wu Shilang are all returning now At home, six out of ten of Chen’s acquaintances in the Ministry of War, but the rest, such as Liu Tao and others, would not target Chen in this way.”

This is what he can't figure out.

Among the six departments, Chen Mu also has acquaintances in other places, but the most acquainted ones must be the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. Even if Tan Lun and Wu Guifang are gone, the others will maintain similar relationships. It doesn't even make things difficult for yourself.

"Look, it's for Mr. Chen."

Chen Mu led people to the Military Weapons Bureau. The Military Weapons Bureau was very peaceful. He asked the supervisor, but no one from the other officials of the Xuan Mansion came. As usual on a peaceful day, the new Governor of the Xuan Mansion did not notify other officials to come here. Only let Chen Mu come here to greet him.

What is he going to do?
Want money or death?

"Why is General Chen here!"

Chen Muzheng was looking forward to it, and sent Long Junxiong to lead Tanqi to watch on the official road, but he saw Wu Dui coming out from the blacksmith workshop of the Military Weapons Bureau, carrying a blunderbuss. Come to inspect the ordnance sent to Qi Shuina, I am open-minded!"

"Brother Wu is here, why don't you send someone to tell Chen."

All Chen Mu thought about was the Governor of the Xuan Mansion, and he was very pleasantly surprised to see Wu Dui, and asked, "Is the blunderbuss still usable? Chen's weapons are inspected by special personnel, and they will only be sent out if they pass the random inspection. Qi Shuai It will take a few more days to get the [-] bird guns, the craftsman just reported to Chen yesterday that all the gun rods have been made, and the wooden gun bed will take a few days."

Wu Dui nodded again and again, and said: "The other people's guns are drilled slowly, but the gun beds are made quickly, but Chen Shuai's Armament Bureau is just the opposite. Carpentry takes a lot of time. Is Chen Shuai also here to inspect the ordnance?"

"You don't know?" Chen Mu saw that Wu Dui didn't seem to be pretending, and said, "The governor of the Xuanfu came, and he sent a letter to ask Chen to come to the Military Weapons Bureau to meet him, but he didn't know which official from the Ministry of War came to inspect it as soon as he took office. How much will Chen be able to do for him in the future... Hey, brother Wu, you are here, where is the order from the Ministry of War?"

"Does Chen Shuai still want to see Wu's transfer order?"

Wu Dui was taken aback by Chen Mu's question, he was extremely surprised, and said: "You have partnered with a certain Wu since you first went north, can't you still trust a certain Wu?"

Chen Mu shook his head slowly, looked at Wu Dui from top to bottom, and said suspiciously: "The new governor of the Xuanfu, can it be you?"

Wu Dui's eyes widened, and he tried his best to pretend to be innocent, but he couldn't put it on under Chen Mu's suspicious gaze. He sighed, raised his head and laughed loudly, "I can't hide it from Shuai Chen! That's right, Wu was ordered by the court to Governor Xuanfu, Chen Shuai is willing to give this achievement to Wu?"

Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed at Wu Dui very disrespectfully, shook his head and laughed, "Gao Ge knows people with his eyes, and with Brother Wu as the governor, Xuanfu will never worry the court again."

Speaking of which, Chen Musu bowed his hands, and said, "General Chen Mu, Xia Zhenshuo, pay homage to the governor!"
