Chapter Seven Hundred and Fifty Nine: Adding an official to the rank
This drama is endless.=
Ma Yu was anxious. He watched the sun reaching noon, and saw the sun set, the setting sun set, the sky was dim, and it was almost night, Ma Yu wanted to turn around and leave. The imperial envoy did it really tasted, but after thinking about it carefully, his feet couldn't move.
The more negligent the other party is, the more it means that there must be some trump card, or the Hao family has lost patience.
Ma Yu’s mission is to appease the Hao family, and of course, such a thing will never be allowed to happen.
So the problem arose. The more neglected the Hao family, the more uneasy he became, the less he could not leave easily. He could not leave in his sleeves, and could only wait. The majesty of the court had really reached the point of sweeping the floor when he came to him, but so what, he had no choice.
The sky is getting darker.
At this time, a team of guards came back to guard Hao Zheng. As soon as Hao Zheng arrived, Hao Fenglou arrived.
Ma Yu was almost moved to tears. No matter what, the person finally came. As for what he would next, he didn't care about it now. Whether it was life or death, at least now, he could have a correct statement.
Hao Fenglou is dressed in military uniform. Today, he inspected the camps and observed the training of each guard. He felt quite confident. Although each guard has expanded rapidly, he has had the foundation before. In the past, the people of the Shenji Guard and Lang San Guard were backbones. These backbones who crawled out of the sea of blood have now become military officers, practicing the recruits and passing on the spirit of the musket team from generation to generation. Therefore, the military officers are easy to train. Naturally, this is inseparable from the source of soldiers. These military officers are all young and strong. After thousands of choices, Lang San has broken the tradition of good men not being in the army. Instead, everyone is proud of joining the army and is very attractive to young people. Once these young and strong people enter the camp, their logistics will be sufficiently guaranteed, and the military officers are loyal to their duties. After such boring practices every day, each guard has already become a little bit like this.
Of course, Hao Fenglou is currently studying the problem of new type of muskets. In recent years, due to the huge demand for muskets, the Hao family is willing to spend money again and again. The muskets have been made innovating and have made thirteen improvements. Now the latest muskets have been released. Hao Fenglou has personally inspected them, and even he praised them for this, which has greatly improved both in terms of accuracy, effective range, and the difficulty of loading ammunition.
Hao Fenglou has already planned to install new muskets within one year. In this way, the combat power of each guard will be greatly improved. Naturally, the money spent on tens of thousands of new muskets cannot be underestimated. In addition, the artillery also needs to be updated, and even the latest hand bullets must have sufficient reserves. This account is a huge burden for Lang Son's finances.
However... Hao Fenglou has no worries for the time being, because he has made complete preparations. On the one hand, all the fire guns and cannons eliminated can be sold to the model camps of Western countries. Although these model camps are controlled by the Hao family, they are still supported by the finances of various countries. Although the firearms eliminated by various guards are backward in Lang Son, they are still sharp for the Western countries. On the other hand, a large number of fire guns will be sold to Dashi. In this Dashi place, there is an Ottoman Empire, which is now expanding everywhere, especially the conquest of Europa is almost urgent. The two sides are fighting fiercely in Eastern Europe. The Ottomans urgently need more sharp firearms to deal with the Christian stone fortress.
Therefore, the Ottoman Sultan sent an envoy to contact the Hao family a year ago. On the one hand, they hoped to get a secret recipe for the manufacturing of such sharp firearms. In this regard, the Hao family is not worried about their spy, because the most difficult thing about any so-called new firearms is not that it has any novel ideas. The most important thing is the basic material. Take the musket as an example. The muskets of the Hao family are all rifled muskets. This rifled musket is particularly important for the purity and quality of steel, and steelmaking is involved in
Many complicated processes, I don’t know how much time it takes to experiment with the formula of such alloys. To create a Hao family’s musket, it means mastering hundreds of process flows. If one is missing, it may be a failure. Even though Dashi spent seven or eight years or even ten years to achieve this goal, more than ten years later, the skill level of the Hao family’s musket and steelmaking craftsmanship were afraid that the Ottomans would have made great improvements. The Ottomans failed to make a wishful thinking and decided to purchase.
Just one month ago, an Ottoman envoy who was posing as a caravan had arrived in Lang Son. After a protracted consultation, he had decided to purchase 7,000 muskets and 600 guns. The Ottoman Empire spanned the three continents of Europe, Africa and Asia. It is an empire that is no less than the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, it has controlled the trade routes of the three continents. It is rich and powerful. Naturally, the Hao family beat them up hard, without any psychological burden. Therefore, this transaction completely reversed the financial difficulties of the Hao family. Almost every time a musket was sold, the Hao family had the funds to make fifteen muskets. Such transactions could not be found even with lanterns.
Generally speaking, the most profitable thing in this world is nothing more than reselling murderous weapons. Because of the weapon of murder, it can be exchanged for slaves, land and wealth. Robbery is finally the real way to make money.
Hao Fenglou had great hope for those Ottoman friends, and he wanted the Ottoman Royal Guards to favor these firearms after exerting the power of these sharp firearms. He fought for them to do more of this kind of transactions.
However, it is said that in the extreme west, there are also some so-called Pope Secret envoys here, some of which are spying on the Ottomans, some are preaching, and some are also the idea of contacting the Hao family.
Hao Fenglou scoffed at this. I am afraid that these rural bullies will not be able to squeeze out any good things. Of course, they are the ones who are rich and powerful when doing business.
In any case, the Tiance Mansion in Haofenglou is now smooth sailing, and everything is going on in an orderly manner. What's more, in a sense, the emergence of the Tiance Mansion has stimulated the booming development of the entire industry in disguise. It is precisely because of the huge orders such as military uniforms, weapons, and supplies of the Hao family that have promoted the market to be more prosperous.
In recent years, whether it is the construction of railways, the military preparations or the emergence of various state-owned assets and government agencies, Lang Son's development has been developing rapidly and leaps and bounds.

Hao Fenglou had seen Ma Yu. He looked at Ma Yu and saw that he was much haggard than when he saw him in Jinling. So he couldn't help but smile and followed Hao Zheng to greet him.
If Ma Yu had seen this father and son early this morning, he would have been better than a good idea, but now he really couldn't show it.
He just smiled slightly and said, "Hello, your prince."
"Oh, Commander Ma, we are old friends, so there is no need to be polite. You came with your will. This is great. Let's listen to the order now."
What else can Ma Yu say? He will obey his orders. Anyway, there are so many bad rules that you can do to him. Nowadays, he is afraid of being stunned. He has soldiers in his hands, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. What can he do?
He coughed, and waited for the Hao family to prepare for a moment, then opened the imperial edict and said, "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the imperial edict said: I heard that the loyal and martyrdom of the Hao family is rare. If you have any merits, you will be rewarded and punished... I ordered Hao Zheng to be the King of Pingxi, add nine tins, fake the quarrels, open the government and build the teeth, and sign the military and political affairs outside the territory..."
this……
Complete subversion.
The so-called addition of nine tins and fake junyue actually disappeared in the Song Dynasty, because it not only represents the highest courtesy, but also gives others the name of representing the emperor. These nine tins and junyue have been awarded throughout the dynasties and junyue, and are often powerful ministers among the powerful ministers. They are not only below one person but above ten thousand people, but also have the strength to compete with the emperor.
Zhu Gaosui is willing to give up everything, and in order to gain time, he is willing to take out everything.
As for the founding of the government, the significance was different. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, except for the court, any official was appointed and removed from the court. In theory, the Eastern Palace also had its own subordinates, but these subordinates were actually interfered by the court. But the founding of the government was different. This was to tell the Hao family that you can appoint officials on your own, and personnel affairs are often the top priority. Otherwise, how could the Ministry of Personnel become a heavenly official? The Hao family has the right to give a black hat, and the capital to sign officials everywhere to make wishes. With this capital, wouldn’t it be more effective to recruit talents?
However, the imperial edict was not finished. Then, Hao Fenglou ordered Hao Qinmin, Hao Fenglou, to be King Gui, and Hao Fenglou, Hao Qinzheng, to be King Xiang.
The second son Hao Qinzheng was originally the King of Jing, but he was only the title of the county prince. Now he has been directly promoted and became the prince. However, the eldest son Hao Qinmin became the King of Guilin, and his fief is Guilin. This is equivalent to the nominal first son of the Hao family now has a vassal in Guilin. However, he is still young and cannot be a vassal, and he can only enjoy some salary in the court.
