As soon as Qin Xiao entered the Yamen the next day, Han Zhou sent someone to call him over.

Xu Lang, the clerk, reported what happened in the warehouse. Qin Xiao had already guessed it and was already prepared in his heart. When he arrived at Han Zhou's room, Han Zhou had already greeted him. His face was completely different from yesterday's cold face.

, after letting Qin Xiao sit down, he smiled and said: "Qin Xiao, how did you feel when you went to Jiaziku yesterday?"

"Our empire has strong national strength, and the weapons in the warehouse are piled up like mountains." Qin Xiao said respectfully: "I didn't have the opportunity before, and I couldn't even imagine that the scale of the weapons warehouse would be that big."

Han Zhou smiled and said: "I asked you to go to the warehouse yesterday just to let you know the situation. Although you are the official of Jia Ziku, you don't have to go to Jia Ziku every day. Unless someone comes to collect weapons, you have to go there to deal with them.

For a moment." He clapped his hands and shouted: "Come here!"

A small official immediately came in from outside, carrying a large tray with clothes and hats on it. Han Zhou smiled and said: "You are already an official in Jiaziku, and this official uniform is indispensable. But you have just taken office, making

The government office usually takes three to five days. Your official uniform has not been sewn yet, so you have to wait for a few days, but it always makes people misunderstand when you go in and out of the government office wearing cloth clothes like this. This year's spring clothes have been delivered a few days ago, and they haven't been delivered yet.

Send it on, I just happened to see that the official uniform of the official Yiziku is too thin, so you can make do with it for now, your official uniform will be sent over in two days."

"Thank you for taking care of me, sir." Qin Xiao said with cupped hands.

"How about you try it and see?" Han Zhou pointed to the screen: "You can put it on behind the screen."

Qin Xiao didn't refuse. He took the clothes and hat behind the screen and quickly put them on. They didn't fit perfectly. The clothes were not too big, but they were a bit longer.

"He is indeed a young hero." Han Zhou smiled and said, "Let's make do with it for the time being." He waved his hand to let people go, and then said softly: "Qin Xiao, you are an errand in the Treasury Department. If you say something that you shouldn't say, from now on."

From now on, even if you are an official, the knowledge in officialdom is very deep, but it is not that complicated. As long as you remember a few things, I guarantee that you will be like a fish in water."

"Please give me some advice, sir!"

Han Zhou stroked his beard and said: "First of all, you must obey your superiors. This is not because you are my subordinate, but because you are in the officialdom, your superiors can decide your future. If you can't even

None of the superior officials can get along well with each other, and if you want to continue in the officialdom, you will encounter obstacles everywhere."

"That's what your Excellency said." Qin Xiao said solemnly.

Han Zhou was still very satisfied with Qin Xiao's humble attitude and continued: "The second thing is to kowtow more and talk less. Old friends say that disaster comes from the mouth. This is no joke. Whether it is the auxiliary country in the court

A prime minister, or a ninth-grade sesame official, all have to be careful with their mouths. If they accidentally say something they shouldn't say, it will be a disaster." Then he smiled faintly and said: "Actually, there are many tricks in this officialdom, but in the end

The most important thing is to find the secret from the word "official". Look, the word "official" has two mouths, but there is a treasure cover above it, and below the treasure cover, naturally, they are all members of the family. In other words, there are some things that the family members say.

It's okay to say it, but you must not go outside and talk nonsense. If one mouth comes out, the official character will not be completed."

"Listening to an adult's words is really better than studying for ten years." Qin Xiao said in awe: "I am in a humble position and have no experience. With the guidance of an adult, I should be cautious in everything. If I shouldn't say anything, I will never dare to say a word.

"

Han Zhou laughed and said, "I know you have a very high level of understanding and can understand everything at once." He waved to Qin Xiao and signaled Qin Xiao to come closer. Qin Xiao stood up and came forward. Han Zhou then asked in a low voice: "Yesterday

Have you ever been into the warehouse?"

"Reply to your Majesty, I've been in there before." Qin Xiao said sincerely: "Your Excellency, I handed the Jia Zi Library to me. I didn't dare to slack off. I wanted to get familiar with the situation there first, so that I can do things without making mistakes in the future. That's how I did it.

I will not betray your trust."

"That's right." Han Zhou smiled and said, "What do you think after entering the warehouse?"

Qin Xiao hesitated to speak. Han Zhou raised his hand and pointed upward: "The roof is above, and my people are below. You are mine. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

"My lord, please forgive me, but I opened a weapons box yesterday." Qin Xiao said in a low voice.

Han Zhou's eyes twitched and he asked, "What's the problem?"

"This...!" Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment and finally said: "I dare not hide it. The weapons in the weapon box are of very inferior quality. I even tried it myself and found it impossible to use. If such a weapon is

If it is allocated to officers and soldiers, the consequences will be disastrous."

Han Zhou was very satisfied with Qin Xiao's frankness and said with a smile: "Actually, if you don't tell me about this, I will tell you. You also know that the weapons are made by the Arms Department of the Ministry of Industry, and sometimes there are some inferior weapons.

, that is inevitable. The imperial court did not allocate enough money, but it asked us to ensure that the weapons in the warehouse should not be less than 100,000 pieces. The Ministry of Industry had no choice but to simplify everything, and we could only put some low-quality weapons into the warehouse.

The Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry is closely connected with us. If they make some mistakes, we are officials in the same dynasty, so we naturally have to take care of them."

"That's it." Qin Xiao looked like he suddenly understood.

"But don't worry, none of these weapons will be allocated." Han Zhou said sternly: "The soldiers are serving their lives for the country. If we allocate these inferior weapons to them, wouldn't it be a loss of conscience? Qin Xiao, this matter

You must remember that the weapons allocated by our war department must be the best weapons and must not make the soldiers feel cold. Xu Lang knows the situation in the warehouse well. If weapons are to be allocated in the future, just let him distribute them."

Qin Xiao cupped his hands and said, "I remember my humble position."

Han Zhou smiled slightly and took out a silver ingot from his sleeve: "When I work, I always share the blessings and the hardships. You just came to Kyoto, so you can't stay in an inn all the time. You need to rent a private house to live in Kyoto.

"Here are five taels of silver. Please accept it first. With these five taels of silver, it will not be difficult to rent a good place to live."

Qin Xiao sneered in his heart, but his face showed a flattered expression, and he hurriedly said: "Sir, this is absolutely impossible."

"I'm a member of the family, so you don't have to be polite." Han Zhou handed the silver to Qin Xiao: "You can just take it."

Qin Xiao naturally knew that as soon as his hand touched the silver, he would immediately be pulled into the water by him. He shook his head and said: "Sir, I still have some silver in my humble position. I really don't want you to spend it. Your salary also needs to support your family. Your Majesty, you should treat me in this humble position."

I will take care of you and keep my humble position in my heart, but I can never accept this money."

Han Zhou naturally wanted to drag Qin Xiao into the water, but it was really painful to take out the five taels of silver. However, if Qin Xiao didn't accept the money, he would feel uneasy. Before he could speak, Qin Xiao said again: "

Sir, if you don't have enough money from your humble position, then I can ask for a loan from you."

Han Zhou hesitated for a moment, then heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside, and then heard someone say: "Report to the master, sir, please come over."

"Master Bu Tang?" Han Zhou did not dare to be seen, put away the money, and coughed. Qin Xiao also took a few steps back knowingly. The man outside came to the door and said respectfully: "Master Bu Tang is waiting."

"Do you know what it is?"

"I heard that someone from Yuzhou is coming." The man said, "They captured Wang Chao's commander Bi Junchang and escorted him to Kyoto yesterday."

Han Zhou opened his eyes wide and asked hurriedly: "Caught Bi Junchang?"

"Yes, it was Xue Keyong, the commander of the Yuzhou Battalion, who personally escorted him to Beijing." The man said, "Mr. Bi has been escorted to Dali Temple.

Pass you over."

Han Zhou didn't waste any time, stood up hurriedly, and said to Qin Xiao, "You go ahead and do your work first, I'll go see the Lord of the Ministry." He hurried away.

Qin Xiao went out and saw that the person who reported the report was about to leave. He raised his hand and shouted: "Wait a minute."

"Sir!" The man turned around and saw Qin Xiao's official uniform, and immediately saluted.

"Who is Wangchao you are talking about?" Qin Xiao asked doubtfully: "Then who is Mr. Bi?"

The man was startled and said: "Your Excellency, you don't know?" Then he felt that his words were very rude and hurriedly explained: "Reporting to the official, Wang Chao is a gangster in Yuzhou. He is a private salt dealer. He is from Yuzhou.

A native of Xiyang, Nanjun County, there were floods in many places in Yuzhou last year. Wangchao gathered hundreds of people to cause chaos. In a short period of time, thousands of people gathered in Xiao. He called himself General Haotian and had six capable generals under his command, who were called Piao Shuai.

, then Bi Junchang is one of his vote commanders."

Qin Xiao was in Xiling, and he knew whether there were powerful people in the pass making trouble. He had never heard of the name of this royal nest.

"Wang Chao captured four or five county towns in Runan County at the beginning. He was extremely arrogant. The Yuzhou camp encircled and suppressed the rebels, but suffered several defeats." The man said: "But Xue Keyong bribed one of Wang Chao's generals.

, Xu Yi was prosperous and wealthy, and the Piao Commander secretly informed Xue Keyong of the movements of the King's Nest. Xue Keyong set up an ambush and defeated the main force of the rebels in the King's Nest. The King's Nest lost troops and generals, and six Piao Commanders were killed.

Two, this Wangchao led a few people to break out, Xue Keyong recovered the county occupied by the rebels, and the saint issued a decree to commend him."

Qin Xiao asked: "Where are the people in Wangchao now?"

"No one knows." The man said: "After escaping, he hid with his remnants, and their whereabouts have never been traced. Yuzhou has put a heavy reward on the heads of Wang Chao and his subordinate Piao Shuai. If Wang Chao can be captured, no matter what

If you live or die, you can get one thousand gold, and his Piao Shuai is also worth five hundred gold. This time Xue Ke personally escorted Bi Junchang to the capital, and he came to seek reward."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, not wanting to ask any more questions, and motioned for the man to step aside first.

These things didn't have much to do with him, so he didn't worry too much. He went directly to the Jiaku Department in Wudefang. Xu Lang was really a little uneasy when he saw Qin Xiao. After all, he secretly reported Qin Xiao's unboxing yesterday.

The matter was reported to Han Zhou.

However, Qin Xiao was so kind and did not mention that incident at all, so Qin Xiao felt relieved.

Qin Xiao simply slept in the back room all afternoon. He was the chief of the Jiaku Department and had his own separate room. No one else dared to disturb him.

When I woke up, it was already dusk and I was full of energy. As soon as I went out, Xu Lang had already bowed forward and said with a smile: "My lord, are you awake?"

Qin Xiao looked at the sky and said, "Is it going to be a shift soon?"

"Sir, there is still one stick of incense left before you can take the shift." Xu Lang handed over a dossier: "My lord has just rested, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Just now, the lord in charge sent someone over to inform you that in three days, the Yuzhou Camp will come to the warehouse to collect it.

Weapons: 300 shields, 200 longbows, and 50 sets of armor. These weapons are obtained from other warehouses. Here, we need to receive 1,000 swords and 1,000 spears. Sir, please let us first

get ready."

Qin Xiao immediately thought of the fact that Xue Keyong, the commander of the Yuzhou Battalion, went to the Ministry of War today. It seemed that Xue Keyong went to the Ministry of War to ask for weapons.

He wiped out the rebel bandits in Wang Chao, and this time he escorted Wang Chao's commander Bi Junchang, which can be said to have made a lot of military exploits. This time he went to Beijing to ask for some weapons, so the court would not be stingy. Of course
