Zhao Boying was very nervous. The six major families of Shuozhou surrendered to the Tang army and had no connections in the Li Tang court. What's more, they and Chen Ying were more like a transaction. Chen Ying took out 50,000 stones of grain, and the children of the six major families worked for Chen Ying. Both sides traded fairly and each took the needs.

As Chen Ying sighed, Zhao Boying actually has selfish thoughts. He is nearly 70 years old and does not have much life anymore. But his youngest son Zhao Haoxin's life has just begun. If Chen Ying agrees to leave a trace of blood for the Zhao family in Shuozhou, let alone getting promoted and getting rich, it would be good to leave a way out.

Chen Ying did not agree directly. Because Chen Ying understood that the easier things are to get, the less they will not cherish them. Often, they will cherish what they get through hard work. It is precisely because of this that Chen Ying showed an undeniable expression on his face and looked at Zhao Haoxin lightly.

Zhao Haoxin pretended to be very heroic. Seeing him erecting his chest and his eyes gathered, Chen Ying felt that he was ridiculous like a child.

Chen Ying took a breath and shook his head slightly. He is now becoming more and more proficient in leadership art. He is thrilling all the way. If he doesn't have such skills, he will be useless. After hanging Zhao Boying's half a stick of incense stick, it should be almost done at this time. At this time, Zhao Boying had a fine bead of sweat on his forehead. I don't know if it was the hot weather or his heart was nervous.

In this era, scholars were a rare species, especially in Lingzhou, which made Chen Ying extremely sad. He couldn't even find any teacher who opened a blind literacy class. What's more, with Chen Ying's current contribution, it was almost a foregone conclusion that he would be promoted and promoted. If he went further to the military position, he could obtain the authority to open a government and Jianya. Chen Ying's desire for talents was endless.

Regarding Zhao Boying's son, not to mention one, Chen Ying would not bother to have another fight.

Chen Ying snorted from his nose and asked lightly: "How many books have you read?"

Zhao Haoxin asked carefully: "Reporting to the general, Haoxin has read "Poetry, Book, Analects of Confucius", "Spring and Autumn Annals" and "Country".

If Zhao Haoxin did not mention "The Numbers", Chen Ying would basically not take the exam, but he mentioned the field that Chen Ying was best at. Chen Ying said lightly: "I ask you, if infantry ate three liters of grain a day, cavalry war horses ate one dou every day. This general has 10,000 stones of grain. If he marched for half a month, he could lead the infantry and the cavalry geometry at most?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Haoxin immediately picked up a small wooden stick and calculated it on the ground. After a stick of incense, Zhao Haoxin told Chen Ying the calculation result: "You can lead more than 3,700 cavalry and 6,000 infantrymen."

In fact, this question does not count at all, and there are many groups of answers. You can lead one infantry, all cavalry, or one cavalry without all infantry, or both infantry and cavalry. Chen Ying's original purpose of the assessment was to test Zhao Haoxin's skills. This simple assessment shows that Zhao Haoxin has basic computing power.

Chen Ying said: "I am the general manager who ordered you to be the official of the Lingzhou Military and Cao Si."

The General Administration and local governments in the Tang Dynasty both had vertical management systems. As an example, Chen Ying was under his command not only had the positions of Chief Secretary, Record Office, and Record Office, but also the officers of the military, Judicial Office, Sigong, Sicang, Siyue, Sishi, Sihu, etc. However, under the various positions of various positions, there were also officials of the Ministry, Shi, Xu, Tu. Zhao Haoxin, the military officer, is equivalent to a member of the military officer under the military officer. In terms of rank, the section-level cadres of the military officer who were of the military officer who were of later generations.

Zhao Haoxin was overjoyed when he heard this, saying, "Thank you for your kindness in the promotion!"

Although Zhao Haoxin, an official, was only just entering the market and was quite from the eighth rank. However, for Zhao Haoxin, this was a step forward.

Seeing that Zhao Boying's son was appointed as the military officer by Chen Ying, Xu Caifu also recommended his son Xu Yigong to Chen Ying. Chen Ying also pretended to be a testimonial and appointed him as the military officer. He was also a small official who managed the warehouse.

This was like stabbing the hornet's nest, Guo Rui, Dong An, Ren Bi, Feng Kelan and others also recommended their sons and nephews to Chen Ying as an official. Chen Ying briefly assessed everyone and found that everyone was indeed as their fathers said, and they were somewhat real and knowledgeable. Chen Ying accepted them all.

Of course, everyone was happy to do this. The six wealthy families in Shuozhou sent their direct descendants to Chen Ying. In fact, it was not just to get an official, but the more important reason was to act as hostages and express their loyalty to Chen Ying.

In fact, Chen Ying did not expect that the Lingwu clan, a very powerful political faction in the Tang Dynasty, was born under Yanmen Pass City.

In the future, Lingwu led officials all had a very obvious characteristic. These officials from Lingwu Clan came to power and control the army and dismissed herders were all civil and military talents.

The weather in the afternoon was very stuffy, and Chen Ying was sweating a lot. He wanted to find someone to get some cold water to take a shower. Unexpectedly, before Chen Ying ordered the preparation of the bath water, Chen Ying heard a burst of cheers outside the tent.

Chen Ying looked up and asked, "Go and ask what happened!"

Liang Zan said: "Ge Tong asked for a meeting!"

Chen Ying became confused: "Who is this Ge Tong?"

Liang Zan said: "It seems that in the morning, the old craftsman's surname is Ge!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Let him come in!"

After a while, Ge Tong ran to the big tent with his hands and feet: "General, he has done it, he has done it!"

"What's going on!" At this time, Chen Ying didn't even remember that he had ordered Ge Yong to build Xiangyang cannons before.

When Chen Ying heard Ge Tong say that he had taken the new trench machine out, he was very happy. He didn't care about the hot weather, and put on his armor and knife, rushed out of the tent: "Go, go and have a look!"

At this time, the Tang army camp outside Yanmen Pass had no independent generals to build the camp. The place where the catapult was built was in a corner of the Shuozhou army camp that Chen Ying temporarily named. At this time, in a huge Shuozhou army camp, the catapult was about five or six meters high, almost as high as four floors.

The appearance is like a huge gantry crane, lifting a huge weight. Chen Ying had just begun to think that although the Xiangyang cannon-type counterweight trench machine is simple, it is not possible to do it in a short time because of the pulley set.

In fact, Chen Ying once again underestimated the ancients. The craftsmen led by Ge Tong actually used 100 steel steel to build a twelve sets of pulleys. Through this set of pulleys, even an ordinary soldier could easily lift the counterweight scattered counterweight equipment.

What surprised Chen Ying the most was that although the shooting rod was made of a large tree trunk that was thick with a hug as the shooting arm, the smart Ge Tong wrapped the parts that were very easily worn with an iron bag.

Chen Ying saw this huge counterweight trench and asked Ge Tong: "Have you tried it?"

Ge Tong shook his head and said, "Have you tried it yet!"

"Then... try now!" Chen Ying said in an unquestionable tone: "Put the stone bullet, first put a 100-pound stone bullet in to see how powerful it is!"

Unknown to the power of this catapult, Chen Ying asked someone to clear the radius of 500 steps. Chen Ying originally wanted to operate a catapult that did not exist in this era, but Liang Zan said that he would not let Chen Ying test it.

After Liang Zan and everyone else dodged, they cut off the hemp rope on the extension arm with a knife. After a creaking sound that made people feel sour, the heavy counterweight stone quickly pressed the extension arm up. The extension arm also drove the rope. The rope rotated with the stone. The extension arm seemed to move very slowly, but the rope on the extension arm rotated very strongly. After a circle of acceleration in the air, the leather pocket was pulled open by the rope set in advance, and the 100-pound stone bullet flew out.

一百斤重的巨大石弹,打着璇儿在空中飞舞,不偏不倚,正中三百五十步开外的胸墙.

With a click, the chest wall fell down.

Chen Ying exclaimed: "Holding grass, this is too exaggerated!"
