Chapter 95 The Governor

boom!

At the edge of the Xuanfu School Field, an 800-step field was specially reserved for the artillery team to practice. The artillery exploded. Zhao Shizhen looked forward with a torch and urged left and right: "Carry medicine."

After a while, the rider ran back and whispered: "I haven't hit it, I'm two feet away!"

Zhao Shizhen patted the turban, and the three artillery soldiers in front of him were waiting for him to issue orders. He shook his head and was about to adjust the cannon position again. When he saw General Zhenshuo running from the school field, he ordered the order and said, "Mr. Zhao, General, please go back home."

The torch was handed over to someone else and asked the soldiers to pull the cannons back. Zhao Shizhen received the order and turned over with the depressed horse who was absolutely dodged, and followed the rider back to the general's mansion.

He kind of understood why Chen Mu was always not good at writing. Maybe it was like he couldn't beat the ball accurately, it required talent.

"What's the record of today's victory?"

As soon as he returned home, he saw Chen Mu stretched out his arms, and two maids beside him were playing with big red lion-patterned robes. The two maids and Tudou surrounded the general with rhino horn belts, and sweet potatoes hung tooth cards for the general's waist.

Zhao Shizhen tilted his head and felt uneasy, and said, "No shot hits me again."

Chen Mu nodded. Before he asked Zhao Shizhen, he knew that this was the result again. After studying for more than a month, Zhao Shizhen was familiar with the use of the Taoist sect. But for some reason, Zhao Shizhen just couldn't beat the same movements and rules.

Ni Shangzhong, who was learning artillery with Zhao Shizhen, was different. After studying for more than half a month, he was able to shoot 500 steps away. When he was happy, he even carried two waist knives to dance for a while. As for Zhao Shizhen, the more he practiced, the more depressed he became.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhao was able to distinguish work and entertainment. Whenever he walked into General Zhenshuo's mansion, he was not affected by the outside world and asked Chen Mu: "How can the general dress neatly today? Are you going to meet guests?"

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

Potato and sweet potato retreated, Chen Mu sat on the chair with long sleeves, shook his head and said, "The new governor of the Xuanfu has arrived. Chen feels not very good. No one has come to deliver the mansion newspaper these days. It seems that someone deliberately prevents Chen from knowing who the new governor is. Now he suddenly notifies the governor to take office and ask Chen to go and greet him."

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

While speaking, the followers outside the mansion had already prepared horses. Chen Mu took Zhao Shizhen, Long Junxiong and others restrained their heels and turned over the horses, and headed eastward.

Chen Mu felt that the new governor was coming to him, and he was concealed his actions. When he arrived at Xuanfu, he sent a message to him, General Zhenshuo, to go to the Military Weapon Bureau to greet him. This 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, "Chang Ji, you said that now Gaoge ordered all regions to check their performance every year. When the governor comes, is Chen sure to give him a big gift in terms of political achievements? Just come here and investigate me mysteriously!"

What did Xuanfu look like last year? What did Xuanfu look like this year?

That is, there is a huge difference between Chen Mu before and after taking office. He saved 120,000 taels of military expenditure a year, and he could build all kinds of weapons, birds, guns, and cannons. Although the number of troops has not increased, the combat power of the flag army has reached a higher level.

In all aspects, the new governor and Wang Chonggu do not have to care about the Xuanfu anything. This year, the Xuanfu government's achievements are definitely the highest among all the prefectures.

Not to mention, Wang Chonggu was building a horse market in the border. When the horse market was completed and the court passed the matter, the tax revenue would be higher.

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

Zhao Shizhen followed immediately and replied immediately after Chen Mu asked: "I don't know, but there are traces of memorials in front of the cabinet ministers. It should be selected from the Minister of War."

Gao Gong mentioned in his memorial some time ago that in the future, the Minister of War would be formed to release the Minister of War and the local governors and the Minister of War to avoid the dilemma of the local governors and governors who do not know the military affairs and cannot use troops. Only those governors and governors can strengthen local military preparations.

"I'm the same as you think." Chen Mu also guessed the candidate to be the governor of Xuanfu based on this memorial approved by the emperor, but he thought about it, "Although Tanmen Hall and Wu Shilang have all returned home now, and Chen's acquaintances of the Ministry of War have gone six out of ten, but the rest, such as Liu Tao and others, would not target Chen like this."

This is what he can't understand.

Among the six ministries, Chen Mu also had acquaintances elsewhere, but the ones most familiar are the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works. Even if Tan Lun and Wu Guifang leave, the others will maintain similar relationships. They will not respond to their requests like Tan Lun when encountering things, but will not cause any trouble for themselves.

"Look, it's just for Chen."

Chen Mu brought people to the Military Weapon Bureau. The Military Weapon Bureau was in peace and asked the supervisor, but no other officials of the Xuanfu had ever been there. As a peaceful day, the new governor of the Xuanfu did not inform other officials to come here, and only asked Chen Mu to come here to welcome him.

What is he going to do?

Want money or die?

"Why is General Chen coming!"

Chen Mu was looking up and sent Long Junxiong to the official road to watch, but saw Wu Dui coming out with a bird gun in the blacksmith's workshop of the Military Weapon Bureau. He walked over in surprise and bowed to Chen Mugong: "The Ministry of War asked Wu to check the weapons sent to Qi Shuai. I'm open my eyes!"

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

Chen Mu was thinking about the affairs of the governor of the Xuanfu. When he saw Wu Dui, he was very surprised and asked: "Can the bird gun be used together? Chen's military weapons are inspected, and they will be sent out only after passing the sampling inspection. How many days will the 1,000 bird guns that Qi Shuai asked for? Yesterday, the craftsman just reported to Chen. The gun rods have been made, and the wooden gun bed will take several days."

Wu Dui nodded repeatedly and said, "The guns of others are drilling slowly, and the gun beds are made quickly, but Chen Shuai's military weapon bureau is just the opposite. The carpenters will take more time. Is Chen Shuai also here to check the weapons?"

"Don't you know?" Chen Mu saw that Wu Dui was not pretending, and said, "The governor of Xuanfu is here. He sent a message to ask Chen to welcome him at the Military Weapons Bureau, but he didn't know which official of the Ministry of War was. As soon as he took office, he came to check how much politics Chen could do to him in the future... Hey, Brother Wu, where are you here, the transfer order of the Ministry of War?"

"Does Chen Shuai still have to look at Wu's transfer order?"

Wu Dui was stunned by Chen Mu's questioning, and was extremely surprised and said, "Since you first went north, you have been with Wu. Can you still believe Wu?"

Chen Mu shook his head slowly, looked at Wu Dui from top to bottom, and said suspiciously: "The new governor of Xuanfu, can't it be you?"

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

Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed at Wu Dui very rudely, shook his head and laughed, "The old man of Gaoge recognized people with keen eyes. With Brother Wu as the governor, the Xuanfu will never worry the court again."

As he said that, Chen Mu bowed and said, "God of the Governor Chen Mu, General Chen Mu, please pay homage to the Governor!"
