If Shi Qian were here, he could put on a good show of "Zhang Shixun Capturing Shi Qian" for people to watch.
However, "Shi Qian" has been taken to the moon by Wang Dong. Where can we catch him?
"Zhang Zhifu, I'm so busy that I really can't spare the time. How about this? As soon as you find out Shi Qian's whereabouts, have someone notify me. I'll be there at your beck and call. How about that?"
"That's great. I'd like to thank you in advance."
Zhang Shuye came to visit today, originally wanting to understand some of the situation and not expecting Zhang Shixun to be able to help. Now that he saw that he agreed immediately, he was very happy.
"Shixun, you've done a great job in the Tianwu Army, training soldiers, suppressing bandits, and even destroying Heavenly King Yang. Your contributions are obvious to all. Why do you want to resign?"
Zhang Shixun smiled. "Zhang Zhifu, you have been an official for many years. You should be familiar with the actions of those people in the court, right?"
Zhang Shuye was startled, then he smiled. "Now that you put it that way, I understand. Haha! Young people who show off too much easily attract envy... How about this, I'll see the emperor and do it for you..."
"Don't!" Zhang Shixun waved his hands repeatedly before he could finish. "I have no plans to become an official for the time being."
"Okay." Zhang Shuye didn't insist and stood up and said, "I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't bother you anymore."
Zhang Shixun politely saw him out the door and watched them go away.
The next day, he said hello to Li Shishi and Ding Dusai and returned to Zhang Xiaozhuang.
Since Wang Dong is not here, someone needs to be in charge of both farms.
The wine-making workshop was not allowed to open, but the glass workshop was not affected.
Nowadays, the glass from Gaolaozhuang is selling well, and there is even a shortage of supply.
The glass business alone brought Zhang Shixun and his companion considerable profits.
Of course, several shareholders such as Prince Yun, Zhang Hu, the Gao family, and the He family also made a fortune.
As for gunpowder, Wang Dong stopped production after producing several thousand kilograms of gunpowder for confidentiality reasons.
Nowadays, gunpowder workshops only produce raw materials and store them separately.
In fact, the main reason is safety issues.
The storage of gunpowder has always been a problem. It must be kept away from residential areas, and fire and moisture prevention measures must also be taken.
Gao Laozhuang and Zhang Xiaozhuang have now become the focus of the imperial court. Once an independent gunpowder warehouse is built, it will easily arouse the imperial court's suspicion.
Zhang Shixun went into the tunnel again to take a look. After nearly two years of excavation, the underground of the two villages was like a huge spider web. It was easy to get lost in it without someone familiar to lead the way.
With Xiaomei's path in the intelligent system, Zhang Shixun certainly did not have such concerns. He visited the grain warehouse, weapons warehouse, herbal medicine warehouse, bedding warehouse, etc.
Wang Dong is like a big hamster. He moves anything that he may need in the future into the tunnel.
Most of the money earned in the past two years, in addition to building the farm, was used to purchase various supplies.
Zhang Shixun came out of the tunnel and met Liang Hongyu. As soon as they met, she asked, "Shixun, can you get us some more bows and crossbows?"
"Jia Zi, what are you going to do?"
"For training, the farmhands are practicing archery, and ten bows are simply not enough."
"Just make do with it for now. If you make too much, it might attract the attention of the government, and then they'll cause trouble."
"You're so bold sometimes, so cautious sometimes. It's really hard to predict... Well, let's just make do with it for now."
After Liang Hongyu finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Jinzi, wait a minute." Zhang Shixun stopped her. "I saw my uncle a few days ago, and he complained to me, saying that you left him alone in the city and ignored him... Haha! You should go visit him every now and then."
"We're already an old married couple, what's there to see? He can't leave the barracks easily now, and I might not even see him if I go. Besides, I'm busy training the women's cavalry right now, so how can I have time to go to the city?"
Zhang Shixun asked in surprise, "Women's cavalry? Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. When it comes to horseback riding, women are no worse than men. In fact, they can even ride better than men."
"Jia Zi, riding a horse and fighting is a man's job, you should..."
"Shixun! I'm begging you, please let me take charge of this female cavalry unit, okay?"
As she spoke, Liang Hongyu's tone became pleading.
"Jia Zi, it's not that I don't let you do it, but..."
Liang Hongyu put her hands on her hips and said, "If you don't let me do it, I'll go find Saisai and Li Shishi. When they come looking for you together, don't blame me for talking nonsense."
"Okay! If you like, it's up to you."
Zhang Shixun had no choice but to surrender. Isn’t it just riding a horse for fun?
At that time, whether or not you can go to the battlefield will not be up to her.
After finally getting rid of her, Yue Fan came back and started sighing as soon as he entered the door.
Zhang Shixun frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"My sister-in-law Liu came back a few days ago, and then she left again a few days later?"
"Where did you go?"
"I don't know. My brother and I have been looking for it for several days but haven't found it."
Zhang Shixun once heard Yue Fei talk about Liu, a woman who was not very peaceful and would often run away for a while and then come back after a while.
Since it involved Yue Fei's personal affairs, Zhang Shixun could only offer a few words of comfort and didn't say anything else.
"Well... maybe I shouldn't say this. If she's like this, why doesn't your brother divorce her?"
"My eldest brother had this idea before, but considering that Yue Yun and Yue Lei were still young and needed someone to take care of their mother, and that he had been in the army, he gave up the idea."
