At the beginning, Zhang Ci felt a little confused. Two trucks of things were delivered to his house and piled them directly in his yard without any refusal. The visitor said nothing, only saying that this thing is of great importance, and Kong Xinhua would come to the mansion to see him later to clarify the matter.

Zhang Ci said he wanted to open it and see what it was. Kong Xinhua left the guardians to leave the people guarding the things. However, after opening the layers of packaging, he saw the carefully made steel parts. Zhang Ci was confused, and the few people under Kong Xinhua seemed to be unaware of it. It turned out that Zhang Ci thought Kong Xinhua would arrive soon, but he couldn't wait. He asked someone to invite Situ Lian to come over. The residences of the six ministers of the ministers were not far away, and Situ Lian came in a short while. Situ Lian took a look at these things and was immediately surprised and ordered the Imperial Army to send a small team of people to quickly send these things to the secret workshop of the Ministry of Works.

Zhang Ci asked, "Sir Situ, this is..." Of course he knew who Situ Lian was, and it was definitely not his intention to seize his own things. However, the things that made Situ Lian tremble all over his body made him a little curious.

"Old Zhang Ge, this is... the machine of the airship. Making an airbag, making a hanging bucket, and installing it directly is the airship. It is not the balloon that the old man worked hard to make, it is the airship!"

Zhang Ci was shocked and said, "What! Then send it away quickly. There are so many people here, so it is inevitable that the news will be leaked."

The two of them quickly arranged the arrangements before they could handle the two airship parts in a waste. Then, Situ Lian asked carefully: "Old Zhang, where did you get these two things? This thing is... priceless."

Zhang Ci frowned. Situ Lian thought Zhang Ci was unwilling to say it, but Zhang Ci sighed and said, "Come on, come to the study with me." Then he instructed the housekeeper and said, "If Brother Kong comes, let him come to the study immediately."

Inadvertently, Kong Xinhua's status in their minds has risen by several levels. Situ Lian is actually a little reluctant to leave. He has been studying airships for many years and attaches great importance to this technology. However, now the parts have been sent to the workshop, and he has enough time to explore and research. Now, we will first understand the priorities with Zhang Ci.

About half an hour later, Kong Xinhua came. His expression seemed a little anxious. When he saw Zhang Ci and Situ Lian, he bowed deeply, as if trying to restrain his emotions and said: "Two sirs, I really don't know what to do. Xiaosheng... Xiaosheng is in trouble."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ci asked quickly.

"This batch of things... I snatched from the smuggling team of the Western Route Army." Kong Xinhua told the truth. Of course, he would not disclose that the special battalion was involved. He would not say that he had always known the smuggling team of the Western Route Army. He only said that he had been snatching his caravan from his clever caravan by the Western Route Army, and he began to pay attention to the movements of the Western Route Army. This time he accidentally discovered that the other party's whereabouts were strange and stayed in a small town for three more days, just to join the army with these guards, and he was moved. Among these goods, there were also things brought by his caravans. He immediately organized all his military forces to intercept and kill them outside Yanjing.

The interception operation went smoothly. It was originally unknown to the gods, but when he saw these two things, he knew that something was wrong. These two things were not something he had the courage to hide. Although he could destroy these two things and destroy physical evidence, no one could get to his head, because there were not many people who knew that he had always had a strong military force. However, he understood the importance of these two things to Bei Liao, and he did not dare to hide them or hand them over. Without a minute of hesitation, he decided to deal with these two things to Zhang Ci, and then hoped that Zhang Ci could break through it and save him from the invasion of the Western Army.

Zhang Ci and Situ Lian looked at each other. This was not a trivial matter, and they couldn't agree at once. Zhang Ci looked at Situ Lian and showed his inquisitive gaze. Situ Lian understood very quickly. They were indeed the first shield on Kong Xinhua's side to gain the best interests. The Western Route Army is indeed the first shield in Dongping, but this shield is not good now. It is inclined to them, but it is a bit dangerous to trust them completely. Moreover, the Western Route Army is now becoming more and more arrogant in the court and in the local area. Not to mention anything else, the jurisdiction of the Western Route Army is now completely military-political and does not listen to any court orders. This is certainly a last resort to Dongping's choice, but it has made many people in the court quite angry. In addition, the airship

Once the technology is successfully copied, this will be the achievement of both of them, but this thing cannot be handed over to the Western Route Army. Because the Western Route Army already has its own ordnance department, and things like the crossbows and oil bombs have completely produced their own equipment and sold part of them to other troops. If they master the airship again, the Western Route Army will be very annoying, and it is almost another country with huge threats. No matter what, it is necessary to restrict the Western Route Army and restrict the development of the Gao family's power. In this critical moment, it is necessary to ensure the balance of domestic forces, so as not to have problems due to the excessive strength of the Western Route Army, but also to be able to promote competition and make preparations in many aspects to make the Eastern Route Army and the Imperial Army stronger. This time, it is the beginning to protect Kong Xinhua.

Kong Xinhua's current performance has fully proved that he deserves such an adventure.

"Oh, Xiaoyou Kong, don't worry. Although this matter is troublesome, we will do our best to break the situation. Come on, let me tell you in detail, how did you do this matter and how did you deal with it?" Zhang Ci saw support in Situ Lian's eyes and immediately showed the ability of the old official.

"Yes, thank you for your carefulness." Kong Xinhua repeated the statements many times in the future, and said them in detail from beginning to end, and told them all about Zhang Ci and Situ Lian's various problems, without any concealment. This attitude made the two Shangshu very satisfied.

However, after he finished speaking, Zhang Ci said lightly: "You go back first, don't go anywhere, and don't prepare for resistance. We two ministers...haha, the strength is not enough. I will go to find a few people in the court who can speak well tomorrow...haha, the court will definitely be very exciting."

Kong Xinhua agreed seriously, bowed deeply again, and said, "Thank you, sir... I will rely on the two adults this time. The young student said goodbye."

As he said that, he retreated. As soon as Kong Xinhua left, the housekeeper came in, carrying two gift boxes, one big and one small, and said breathlessly: "This is what was sent by his subordinates after his friend of the Kong family came just now... Master, what should I do?"

He has decided to stand on his side, so what is there to receive gifts? Zhang Ci smiled and said, "Open and take a look."

The one given to Zhang Ci was a pair of tortoiseshell glasses with gold wire inlaid with glasses. Zhang Ci had long heard of this thing, but unfortunately this was the only business of Ye’s workshop. Now, except for Danyang, Yicheng and Gondor, there are just optometrist-led stores in three places, and there are no customizations in other places. This kind of gift looks small, and it is really a lot of effort. Zhang Ci took it to see it. Sure enough, the affairs in front of him were much clearer. You don’t have to get close to you to see the fonts in the book. Zhang Ci didn’t know how long it took to see the gift for him to see the gift and Dongping intelligence personnel observed him remotely and understood all kinds of vision data. It was comfortable but low-key and elegant, but also revealed luxurious tastes everywhere, which was also very likable. Zhang Ci was naturally very satisfied with this.

Situ Lian was also very satisfied with the huge gift bag. It was actually a complete set of tools, which were packed in a basswood box, and there was a double-layer leather bag for tools and a work bib. It was very thoughtful. The tools that emitted a faint rosin smell were very comfortable to hold in your hands, and each arc of the handle was so round and appropriate... For a person like him, a craftsman, this tool was always very attractive. The seal of Ye's workshop was behind each handle, but there was no trace of showing off at all. On the metal blade of the tool, there was a little trace on each. If you look closely, you saw that people represent the producer of the tool. If you look closely at these tools, Situ Lian couldn't help but feel more relaxed... The supervision of this set of tools

The person was actually Ye Laogeng. Ye Laogeng is now doing things by himself or supervising them seriously. Although he is not a high-ranking official in the court, he has the title of Dongping Works Department. He always solves the problems related to manufacturing and craftsmanship. As Ye Tao's father, he has enough prestige. As a famous craftsman, his technical foundation is so solid that it makes people stunned, and he is so gentle and rational. Situ Lian knew that in recent years, the military apprenticeship he brought out, which was far from qualified, had been as many as thousands of military ordnance repair centers in Dongping, which were so powerful that all countries covet. If the tools Ye Laogeng personally supervised were put outside, it would be difficult to get a fortune, and it was thanks to Kong Xinhua who could get it.

For Kong Xinhua, these things are not a problem. The information bureau will customize the glasses directly in Yicheng when they get the data. As for the tools, Ye Laogeng will customize a batch for himself and his disciples every year. Some old friends or senior technicians ask for help, and he will also create more and give them to others. This batch of things has been carefully inspected and controlled the entire process, but it is not made by him by himself, so it doesn't take too much energy. Ye Tao asked himself that he wanted a set of tools to give them to others. How difficult is it? But this made Kong Xinhua look so smart in the eyes of the two Shangshus.

Kong Xinhua didn't know what happened in the court, but he did stay in his house for three days. He heard that the court was quarreling fiercely, and his subordinates said that someone was following the house, and later it was withdrawn. But finally on the morning of the fourth day, Zhang Ci sent someone to summon him to talk. It seemed that people's easy application, Kong Xinhua also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Zhang Ci's level had passed. (To be continued. If you want to know what happened next, please log in.qidian., more chapters, support the author and support genuine reading!)
