Chapter 153: Arms Supervision

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict...promoting Guo Nuan to the rank of supervisor, with a rank of 4, and was granted the title of Military Sanguan, General Dingyuan, with a rank of 6...I admire this!"

Such a graceful and charming voice sounded in the courtyard of the princess's residence again. Looking at the mighty team of eunuchs announcing the edict, Guo Nuan felt very happy after receiving the edict respectfully.

"Gah, I've actually become a fourth-grade supervisor! Plus an honorary military attaché title. My cheap father-in-law treats me well, not bad, not bad..."

Guo Nuan's heart was shaken, and he was muttering to himself at this moment. Next to him were Shengping, Dabiao, Ah Fu, Si Yiguan and others who received the imperial edict. They all had congratulatory smiles on their faces and were happy for the prince consort.

Guo Nuan, on the other hand, was holding the imperial edict in his hands and his eyes were shining.

"Haha, Guo Lang, you usually like to think about some strange inventions of woodworking and iron tools. Now the Yamen Supervisor in charge of the production of palace weapons and armors is considered to be in line with your expertise." Shengping on the side hugged the sleeping little Guo Xiang.

Zhanyan smiled at him.

"Yes, yes, this is a real job. It's really nice to be away from the intrigues of court politics." Afu nodded in agreement, his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

It is said that the day after playing polo, the imperial edict for the appointment of Emperor Daizong was delivered to Shengping Mansion in the early morning of the next day.

The Ordnance Supervision is a huge organization composed of many royal workshops and offices specializing in the production and management of armaments. It is mainly responsible for the equipment of the more than 200,000 soldiers of the Forbidden Army stationed in the capital to defend the imperial city, as well as the 300-mile radius of the capital.

The equipment of the military camps in the four directions of the suburbs.

For example, dozens of weapons workshops managed by the Arms Supervision can produce bows and arrows, knives, shields, swords, black armor, rattan armor, iron armor, throwing axes, etc., including more than 30 commonly used items that are widely popular in the army.

Soldier equipment, plus two hundred kinds of commonly used equipment, which refers to unpopular weapons.

Of course, the workshop also produces rams, horse-drawn chariots, siege stakes, long ladders that can be retracted by 30 meters, heavy slings that can throw more than 100 kilograms and have a range of more than 200 meters, and other large-scale special weapons and equipment.

Guo Nuan was excited, and he immediately called Ah Fu and Fatty to drive to the Ordnance Supervisor's Yamen in the inner courtyard of the palace.

Daizong expressed his great trust in Guo Nuan this time and fully delegated power. The imperial edict also specifically stated that after Guo Nuan was appointed as a supervisor, he could choose a sixth-grade supervisor as his adjutant. Guo Nuan smacked his mouth and felt his stomach.

He muttered: Brother, can you recommend your adjutant freely? Of course, you should find someone who is good to you, trustworthy, who can handle things with tacit understanding, and who has no disagreements.

Come on, Guo Nuan quickly appointed an adjutant. He patted Da Biao on the shoulder and said with a laugh: "Haha, fat man, my brother is giving you an extremely glorious task now. If you do it well, you will have a bright future. You Zhang

One of them has taken off."

"Fuck it! I listen to Lao Guo." As soon as Da Biao heard Guo Nuan's words, before asking what the errand was, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked like a pig brother.

Guo Nuan understood very well. His brother Dabiao was born in a farm family, and his family situation was so miserable when he was young. His grandparents, uncles, mother and father died one after another. When he was a child, he was almost a savage in the vast mountains and forests of Lintong, Guanzhong. Now he is

My career in office has been prosperous again. Half a year after I was dismissed from office, I have made a comeback. My brothers should also help me, so that the wealth does not flow to outsiders, so we can share the blessings together.

Guo Nuan imagined that he was standing on the top of a mountain that towered into the clouds, and he was shouting with great excitement: "Haha, dear Prime Minister Yuanzai, brother - you are turning over again, just wipe your butt and be good

Just wait, one day I will penetrate your anus!…”

As for the extremely evil thoughts in Guo Nuan's heart, he was now imagining how he would defeat Yuan Zai, a traitorous minister who brought disaster to the country and the people, after his official career soared.

In short, Guo Nuan looked like a villain who had succeeded and was smiling innocently, which made the fat man next to him confused.

"Lao Guo, aren't you so happy that you're going crazy?" The fat man shook the giggling Guo Nuan, and asked anxiously: "What kind of glorious mission are you going to give me?"

"Oh, that's different, quack." Guo Nuan woke up immediately, slapped his thigh and shouted, "That's right, let's go to the Yamen now and have a look."

There are several armor-making workshops in the palace, which are located next to the Beiya, the command center of the Forbidden Army, in the north of the palace. The rest of the workshops are located in various districts in the capital.

Guo Nuan learned that there were dozens of workshops providing more than 7,800 craftsmen for the Forbidden Army weapons. This was really a large organization.

The carriage passed through the central axis of Chang'an Avenue, passed the guard at the palace gate unobstructed, then passed through the Danfeng Gate and bypassed three red walls and headed straight for the Xuanwu Hall.

"Huh-" The carriage stopped in front of a relatively quiet small palace.

This area is located in the northwest corner of the palace. It is full of carved beams and columns, marble floor tiles, cornices and horns, glazed and gold-tiled palaces, and especially the pairs of Imperial Guards patrolling back and forth.

At this moment, Guo Nuan and the others have penetrated deep into the political heart of the entire empire.

"Hey, this temple will be under our control from now on?" The fat man smiled and pointed at the main hall in front of him on a platform more than ten meters high. On the main door of the main hall hung the three characters "Ordnance Supervisor".

The three of them stood at the steps of the main hall and looked up carefully. The main hall with red walls and yellow tiles was more than forty meters long in width and more than thirty meters deep in the inner hall. It was indeed extremely majestic.

"Gaga, I guess there is a big temple that is seven to eight meters deep. Haha, that's right, my brother will be the host, and you, Da Biao, will be the deputy host."

Guo Nuan was in a happy mood. He did not expect that the weapons supervisory office located in the inner city of the palace was so grand. It was like the splendid temples on the high slopes of Longshouyuan. The decoration was extremely rich at first glance.

You must know that most of the monks' temples in the Tang Dynasty, especially those located in Chang'an, were magnificent, with prosperous incense, an endless flow of tourists, and a lot of money for fragrant oil. In addition, the royal family, especially several generations of emperors, believed in Buddhism, especially when the country's national power was declining.

In the era, in order to stabilize politics and the country and appease the people, the people sought spiritual sustenance from heavy labor. The rulers vigorously promoted Buddhist culture and built Buddhist temples that were more beautiful than the others. Today, the yamen in front of you is like a small temple and has a grandeur.

Guo Nuan, who quite felt the dignity of the superior, was naturally overjoyed.

"Oops, I missed the welcome from afar. My subordinate, Chief of Military Weapons Supervisor Wang Yan, pays homage to Mr. Guo!"

While Guo Nuan and the other two were standing still in front of the temple, commenting, they saw a group of about ten officials slowly marching out of the palace, all kowtowing and bowing to see Guo Nuan.

"Okay, no need to be polite." Guo Nuan immediately stopped his smile and waved his hand with a majestic official face.

"Well, you are Wang Yan?"

Guo Nuan looked at Wang Yan, the leader in front of him, in detail. This guy almost startled the three of them when he came out.

"Grandma, this guy looks like the kind of guy who eats fat at first glance. I used to think that Da Biao's height of 1.85 meters and weight of 250 kilograms was big enough. Compared with this Wang Yan, he is simply small.

Number 1, this guy is close to two meters tall, with a terrifying body estimated to be over 300 kilograms, especially those small eyes..."

Guo Nuan sighed, he had never seen a person grow so fat. He had been lucky enough to see a big boar in a pig pen before, and what he saw in front of him was another one that was comparable to it...

Guo Nuan carefully looked at the smiling Tiger King Yan. The fat on his face, coupled with the pair of clever little eyes inlaid on it, showed that he was a very smart person.

"Wang Yan, Wang Yan?"

Da Biao, the little fat guy, saw the big fat Wang Yan and kept muttering: "Hey, Wang Yan, isn't he the King of Hell on the other hand? Oh my god, this is the big devil who eats people without spitting out their bones!"
