Chapter 112: Make a fortune

At this time, Xiao Yan's interest in the old rules suddenly exceeded the purpose of choosing ordnance. Xiao Yan wanted to bring the old rules to Jiankang, but he couldn't speak for a moment, so he had to wander around the warehouses of the arsenal without purpose.

chatting all the way, waiting for all the warehouses to read, made Xiao Yan feel unintentionally inserting willows. In addition to a more thorough understanding of the identity of the stereotypes, there are also many unexpected gains.

Xiao Yan accidentally found a soft armor made of cowhide in the armor library. According to Chen Jun, this kind of soft armor is not used in the military, but is made of rhinoceros cowhide.

Rhino leather is tough and wear-resistant, and is not afraid of water and fire. It is not a problem to resist ordinary swords. After being processed by skilled craftsmen, it is made into soft armor, which is very light to wear on the body, and fine steel pieces are added to some key parts of the soft armor to increase the protection ability. Xiao Yan was very happy at first sight.

Ask, this kind of soft armor has been sealed in the warehouse since it was made, and after the invasion of the Jin people in the south, the accounts of each treasury basically became empty. The old rules began to sort out the accounts only after the Jin people withdrew from the north. However, the accounts of the military treasury of the Ministry of War are stacked like a sea, but with the old rules and a few people of the arsenal can they sort it out for a moment? So far, it has only sorted out two of the seven warehouses of the arsenal.

Xiao Yan and the old rules were slightly inventoryed. This kind of soft armor and knee pads were only 100 sets in total. After the inventory, Zhou Xiaoyan looked at the stereotypes.

"Marquis, just take it." Chen Gui said, seeing Xiao Yan looking at him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Today's court, the accounts are messy. Today, even if the marquis doesn't take it, it won't take long for someone to sell it."

In the Southern Song Dynasty, although the salaries of some subordinate officials were not very high, it was no problem to support the whole family. The key was that officials could not only support their families, but also make friends to welcome their superiors. It took money. Who wouldn't take such a pile of unaccounted things.

What about the old rules? Although they are the main thing, they just restrain themselves not to take it. As for others, they can't control it! The only thing that can be done is to speed up the time to sort out the accounts to reduce this unnecessary loss.

Xiao Yan understood the trick as soon as he thought about it. Thinking about it, he was not sure that he had the determination of the rules, and he couldn't help deepening his image of the rules a little.

But Xiao Yan still hates this kind of behavior. He thought about it carefully and said, "Master Chen, you draw up a constitution as soon as possible, and I'll go to report to Your Majesty. Weapons and equipment, like food, are fundamental to the country and cannot be lost. Can you imagine our soldiers fighting with the enemy with burning sticks? Xiao Yan finally added another sentence.

"Yes, marquis."

There was a burst of excitement in Chen Gui. No wonder he was awarded the title of marquis at a young age. In addition to the courage to do things, this patriotism is even more admirable.

But he seems to have forgotten that Xiao Yan also came to fight the autumn wind on this trip.

Xiao Yan gained a lot from this trip. In addition to the 100 sets of soft armor, he also asked for a thousand sets of leather armor made of soft cowhide. Xiao Yan thought that the 500 guards who stayed in Lin'an only carried out some simple public security patrols during Lin'an, and did not go to the battlefield and did not need to wear heavy iron armor. Therefore, this thousand sets of leather armor are still needed.

In addition, Xiao Yan's waist knife in the arsenal is well made, a thousand. Leather shield can also be, one thousand. The long gun is okay, a thousand. When Xiao Yan left the warehouse, he saw the old rules behind him, and the paper was densely remembered so much. As soon as Xiao Yan patted his forehead, he took these dozen people away.

Xiao Yan was thinking about whether to send Gao Zhan back to call people. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the gate of the arsenal, there were several people standing respectfully outside. Xiao Yan met him at a glance.

"Marquis, come to inspect the arsenal. Please forgive me for coming late." Bian Changqing, the minister of the Ministry of War, bowed and said.

With Xiao Yan's current identity, it is below one person and above ten thousand people. How can a person who can be the secretary of the Ministry of War not even see through this? After Xiao Yan and Chen Gui entered, someone informed Bian Changqing.

In the first year of Jianyan, Bian Changqing was able to rise step by step because he had saved Zhao Gu. He was still a man, but the more bold he became, the smaller he became. Xiao Yan had a good influence on Bian Changqing, but he just saw his frightened look. "I don't know how he had the courage to save Zhao Gu from the Jin people back then."

Xiao Yan gained a lot today, and also found Chen Ru, a talent. During the conversation, he found that he was not only familiar with various weapons, but also for marching, urban defense construction and defense, people's livelihood and livelihood, which made Xiao Yan as excited as if he had found a treasure.

As soon as he came out to see Bian Changqing, Xiao Yan had an idea and responded with a smile, "Lord Bian, why did you come? I just turned around casually and found a few sets of weapons and armor for several guards."

This is easy enough, but Bian Changqing ignored this. When he saw Xiao Yan's words with a smile, the stone in his heart fell to the ground and spoke smoothly. "The marquis's status is noble, and it is reasonable to strengthen the guard. This should have been considered by the subordinate, but the marquis moved his jade toes in person, which is a dereliction of duty."

Bian Changqing held the idea that many people were not surprised, and his mouth was full of words.

"Hmm!" Xiao Yan nodded, not because of his flattery, but because he felt that Bian Changqing really did not waste the experience of his eunuch career and could be a man.

"Lord Bian, you are free tonight. Xiao was blessed by the emperor to reward the mansion. Today is the housewarming. If Lord Bian has time, can you enjoy your face?"

There is a request for others, and Xiao Yan knows that half of the current officials in Lin'an City are thinking about how to congratulate Xiao Yan's home. Xiao Yan pushed the boat and gave Bian Changqing a face.

Bian Changqing has been worried about this matter recently. According to his Shangshu, there is no need to please Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan's series of disturbances since he came to Lin'an, coupled with Zhao Gu's favor, he has no choice but not to flatter Xiao Yan. Once the marquis loses his temper, even the prime minister will be defeated, let alone his Shangshu.

As soon as Xiao Yan's words came out, Bian Changqing suddenly felt a sense of drowsiness. As soon as he came, he immediately felt that someone was handing a pillow. He was flattered and stammered and said, "At the marquis, the subordinate must go to the house to wait for teaching."

The masters who came with Bian Changqing also looked at Xiao Yan eagerly at this time, but Xiao Yan did not open his mouth to invite him. If he gave more face, he would not face. Xiao Yan knew this well.

When Bian Changqing saw that Xiao Yan only invited him personally, he also felt full of face. He unconsciously straightened his waist slightly and was ready to go out with Xiao Yan.

"Oh! Master Chen, let's go together in the evening. Xiao Yan will send someone to pick you up in the afternoon. Xiao Yan turned around and said something when he was about to leave.

Everyone's eyes at the rules immediately changed. Shang Shu just opened his invitation. A six-grade master actually asked Xiao Yan to send someone to pick him up. What is the relationship between the two?

In everyone's envious and jealous eyes, Chen Gui's face turned red with excitement when he heard Xiao Yan's words, and he hesitated and couldn't speak.

"I'll just go by myself. I dare not work." It's not easy to say the rules. Instead, everyone went to Houfu to congratulate the housewarming.

Chen Yu just saw that Xiao Yan just invited Bian Changqing, but ignored the group of masters and waiters on the side. At this time, Xiao Yan, a small official of his own sesame, was so much respected, so he dared to say a word for several colleagues.

"Hmm!" Xiao Yan knew the meaning of Chen Gui, nodded and looked at the group of soldiers with eager eyes. "Xiao Yan was ordered to preside over this Beijing investigation. His identity is delicate. He did not want to invite many people and be criticized, but if you have time, Xiao Yan will definitely wait for you."
