The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 153 Begging for Gunpowder
At this time, the elder Gao Di saw that the steward came to report again, thinking that it was Lord XX who came to give the gift, he said impatiently: "Didn't the old man take care of no one? Why are you here again?"

"Master, there is someone at the door who is not a gift giver. He said he is an old acquaintance of the master. His name is Huang Sheng. He is a guard of Guangning."

"Guangning scholar Huang Sheng, oh! It's him, please come in."

Gao Di knew Huang Sheng, this talented man was already well-known in the capital, and he was one of the most talked about officials in the officialdom.

Because this young adult is a controversial figure, the officials, headed by many censors, thought that the court was ridiculous, and even rewarded a dandy with military merits.

However, Xungui of the capital and some adults who are closely related to Mao Yuanyi and Sun Yuanhua think that the court is lucky to have a good talent again.

No matter what the world is, people who are controversial will be noticed by others. Gaodi and Huang Sheng also have a relationship, so of course they remember him even more.

It was reported that this talented man with mixed reputations asked to see him, so he immediately ordered to invite him.This fully demonstrates how important reputation is in a closed feudal society.

Huang Sheng swaggered into the Liaodong Economic and Strategy Office, and all eyes fell from outside. Liaodong Wenwu couldn't understand that this young man seemed to be very happy, but he was actually an old friend of the supervisor.

Master Gaodi laughed: "Huang Sheng, a scholar in Guangning, I remember you, I will never forget that tonight can be described as a swan song through the ages, you deserve the name of a talented scholar."

The steward saw that his lord was rarely greeted by the door of the study, so he quickly bent his waist down and lowered his head as a gesture of invitation.

Huang Sheng stepped forward and bowed to the ground, and said: "Students pay their respects to your lord. In the spring, students are honored to listen to your lord's teachings in the capital, and they are very moved. I have been looking forward to the opportunity to be taught by your lord again!"

After some polite words, the old and the young talked about poetry and songs for a while, and then they talked about singing and dancing music. It turned out that the old man Gao fell in love with ballroom dancing. He told Huang Sheng that this dance was so good that he danced for half a day every day. Every hour, you can eat an extra bowl of rice.

The two chatted happily, and Huang Sheng told Mr. Gao when he was about to leave that he had bought seventeen Jiannu infantry heads and three vest heads, and left them to the supervisor to dispose of.

Gao Di, who was also planning to bring tea to the guests, was surprised when he heard the words: "Master Huang, are those rumors about the capital true? Do you really have the ability to take the head of Jiannu?"

"My lord, the rumors are not credible, some are exaggerated. The students just like to use firearms to make tricks and tricks, so they shouldn't be fighting in a dignified manner."

"Master Huang is too modest! No matter what strategy you use, you will always go deep into the tiger's den. It seems that although you are young, you have the courage of a tiger!"

Mr. Gao Di was worried that he had no confidants who dared to fight. He was naturally overjoyed to see a civil servant who could fight, and of course he wanted to win people's hearts.

From a scholar who passed the imperial examination to a Jinshi, and climbed up to a second-rank senior official step by step, there is no ordinary person, of course they are all politicians.

Mr. Gao Di was already planning to give Huang Sheng some benefits in his heart, so that he could serve him wholeheartedly in the future.

"Excellent, quickly order the wine in the back hall. The old man wants to have a few drinks with Mr. Huang." Gaodi said to the steward standing at the door.

"My lord, several subordinates of the students are waiting outside with their things. Did you arrange for someone to go out and bring them in?"

After a while, Gao Jian, the steward, came to Gaodi and reported back: "Master, the younger one has brought the Huang family brothers to the woodshed in the backyard. Would you like to see it for yourself?"

Huang Sheng hurriedly said: "My lord, I suggest you send a few servants who know how to check the authenticity of the first-level head to have a look. You must not check it yourself, it's too stinky."

"How can this be done? It's not easy for soldiers to chop off the heads of slaves. How can I not stand even a little bit of smell."

Well, this old man doesn't know good from bad, so Huang Sheng has no choice but to go with him.

When they came to the firewood room, Huang Sheng hid far away and pretended to have something to say with Huang Dongshan, so that Gaodi and his confidantes would suffer.

This lord really could bear it. He opened the twenty wooden boxes one by one to appreciate them carefully, and the sound of him laughing could be heard from time to time.

It turns out that Mr. Gaodi has served in the Ministry of War for a long time, and it is a common practice to see the leader as a result of his merits. He has become accustomed to it.

He is an expert, seeing that the twenty heads are all middle-aged men, all of them are real slaves, with all the physical evidences such as weapons, armor, waist tags, etc., he took another look at this Master Huang in his heart.

In the past, the Ministry of War checked and reported meritorious deeds to the first level, and the lower level reported to the [-]th level, and half of them could actually stand the inspection. It is almost impossible to be so full of real money.

It can be seen that this young Mr. Huang is an honest gentleman!

When Mr. Gao Di came to the back hall of the official office refreshed after taking a bath and changing clothes, his attitude towards Huang Sheng became much more kind.

It's still the same principle, you will have face if you have strength. You are not afraid that the leader will use you, but you are afraid that the leader will not know you at all.

After drinking for three rounds, Gao Di took the initiative and said: "Master Huang sent the [-]th-level real slaves here, but he doesn't want any rewards. How should I deal with this old man?"

"Students have already had a successful official career. Last time, the capital was full of storms because of the rewards for students. Now you must never mention students again. People are terrible!"

Gao Di paid more attention to Huang Sheng in his heart. This young man has the ability and knows that advancing and retreating is a talent to be made.

"Master Huang, it's not easy for you to support your family to fight for the country. I can help you with some military supplies."

"Students are very grateful. Can you ask adults to allocate [-] catties of gunpowder and [-] Lumi blunderbuss. The students have limited ability to use soldiers, and most of them use gunpowder to blow up slaves."

The infrastructure of Huangjiawan Island is all in the mountains, and the land is leveled by gunpowder blasting. The limited arable land is not willing to be used for building houses.

Therefore, there is a great demand for gunpowder. Huang Sheng repeatedly asked Huang Mingli to use the badge given by Mao Yuanyi to get it from the arsenals in Ningyuan and Juehua Island. Now there is very little gunpowder left there.

The newly appointed Liaodong Economic Bureau asked himself to make a request. If it was too easy, wouldn't he look down on Mr. Gaodi?Huang Sheng came to a lion and opened his mouth wide.

Gao Di thought for a while and asked, "Master Huang, why do you need so much gunpowder?"

"My lord, you don't know. Every time the students attack Jiannu, they use hundreds of catties of gunpowder mixed with broken iron to make bombs. They plan out the road that Jiannu must pass, and use the stupid method of wide-ranging and low-income to attack Jiannu. Sometimes thousands of It took a catty of gunpowder to blow up one or two."

"So that's how it is." Lord Gaodi didn't understand Huang Sheng's arrangement, so he didn't ask, and agreed: "Yes, but the stock in Shanhaiguan can't be given to you. The old man will issue a document, and you can send someone to the arsenal of the capital's military department to collect it directly."

"My lord, the two sons of the student's family have been promoted. The student is worried that they will lose the Ministry of War recklessly. I am afraid that something will happen. I want to take two months' leave to accompany them to the capital."

Of course Mr. Gaudi agreed to such a nonsense thing, and he readily gave him a two-month vacation.

It also means that Huang Sheng will no longer be afraid of being impeached by the censor when he shows up in the capital this time.

Lord Gaodi ordered Gao Jian to go through the formalities, and said to Huang Sheng: "Since Lord Huang is going to the capital, why not bring more troops and bring back the gunpowder and Lumi blunderbuss you want, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"Students obey." Huang Sheng smiled and got the official document with the official seal of Liaodong Economic Strategy, and went to the capital to marry his concubine on a business trip and vacation.
