Chapter 1, A Technical Dog of the Tang Dynasty

Thus, Zhang De was transferred, transferred, transferred...

A young man appeared, walking steadily, with clear eyes and an undeniably extraordinary demeanor

Therefore, the Northern Sect's large ship was a broken vessel from the very beginning

It was just a matter of repairing a wind turbine in the desert and then taking some time to run a dungeon, yet because of a power surge from the wind turbine, he was sent back to the Tang Dynasty. Can you believe it

Zhang De's mouth twitched slightly; he currently wished to catch crickets and fish in Furong City, coming to Chang'an was truly not his desire

Of course, after so many years of hard work, even if there are no achievements, there should at least be some recognition, a title or something of that sort should be given

Uncle Tan, are we still going to Chang'an

Thus, Zhang Gongjin wrote another letter, expressing his sorrow over the early demise of his brother and also suggesting that Zhang De come to Chang'an to pursue his studies

As an engineering dog who has traveled across the vast land of China, Zhang De's experiences from years ago can also be considered somewhat legendary

With a multitude of emotions, standing at the Zhang residence, outside there are six fine steeds tethered to the hitching post. The residence cannot be described as particularly grand, yet the doorman exudes the demeanor of a wealthy household

At the age of ten, Zhang De understood that Li Shimin must have killed his brother and younger brother at Xuanwu Gate. Then, the dark-faced Yuchi Gong would delight Li Yuan by stepping down, becoming a joyful retired emperor.

This young man is neat and straightforward; he is none other than the eldest son of Zhang Gongjin

Thus, before Zhang Derun arrived in Chang'an, he seemingly transformed from a wealthy young man of a small riverside town into a nephew of a meritorious minister who had served the dragon.

After crossing over to the Tang Dynasty, Zhang De felt quite good about his identity as a wealthy and leisurely young local tyrant. Previously, as an engineering dog who had spent years traversing the Gobi Desert, grasslands, and dense forests, Zhang De could only say that... he wanted to finish the last dungeon before his crossing over.

Just as I was about to enter, I heard a hearty laugh from inside: "Hahaha, but here comes the young master!"

The key issue is that there are quite a few influential figures in the production and equipment departments, who claim that Old Zhang does not come from a legitimate background in wind power, and therefore cannot be entrusted with significant responsibilities

Uncle Tan clearly believed that his young lord had great ambitions and was truly endowed with the potential of a giant fish soaring through the skies. Therefore, he immediately took the young lord to Puning Fang. Zhang Gongjin and Xu Maogong were neighbors, and Li Shimin indeed wanted them to settle in Shengye Fang at once to demonstrate his favor. However, having just committed fratricide and reveling in it, it would be utterly immoral to be so lighthearted so soon.

In ten years, he will become a noble of England, but this year he will become the governor of Bingzhou, and then he will begin to devise grand strategies, ultimately leading to the downfall of the Turks and Goguryeo

My lord, although I do not know whether Chang'an is peaceful, the King of Qin has now become the Son of Heaven. Lord Hongshen is an advisor in the King of Qin's court and is sure to rise in rank. I think it is best to go.

In a fitted narrow-sleeved outfit, upon seeing Zhang De, he immediately stepped forward with a quick stride, bowed, clasped his fists, and smiled as he said: "Young Master, you have traveled a long distance, and the journey must have been extremely tiring. The Duke has already instructed that upon your arrival, you should first take a rest. There are several matters to attend to recently, and I am unable to free myself. I hope you will not take offense."

As a result, Zhang Gongyi passed away last year due to a cold, leaving behind three sons, the eldest only ten years old and the youngest merely two years old

My lord, this is the eldest son of Lord Hongshen

The Southern Sect has always emphasized the importance of harmony in family heritage, often expressing the sentiment that "the path of officialdom is the most troublesome." Zhang Gongjin eagerly hoped that the leader of the Southern Sect, Zhang Gongyi, would lend a helping hand to his brother.

Zhang De nodded, allowing Uncle Tan to assist him as he got down from the carriage

However, I must say, while mingling in the Materials Testing Department, Zhang De's doctoral dissertation surprisingly came to fruition

Three months after the mourning period, the clan elders of the Zhang family also considered that this matter would greatly benefit Zhang De, the head of the clan, and thus arranged for Uncle Tan to escort him to Chang'an

Well, it should have been smooth sailing, but the gentlemen from the offshore oil company thought this young man was quite impressive. As a result, he spent over two years engaging in banter at the oil outlet, while the gentleman who had elevated him received a promotion and was transferred to a remote corner of Northeast China

For instance, he sang "We Workers Have Power," studied Mechanical Design and Automation, but pursued a graduate degree in Electrical Application. Subsequently, his supervisor during his master's program decided to venture into offshore wind power generation, and thus Zhang De inadvertently found himself temporarily assigned to an offshore oil platform for maintenance or something similar.

However, before Danima even reported in, the armored regiment had its designation revoked and was merged. Old Zhang's chair had not even warmed up before he was reassigned to the local production corps. Coincidentally, two photovoltaic companies and a wind power company arrived in the northwest, and upon hearing that there were talents here who had experience in offshore wind power generation, they immediately dispatched Old Zhang to the wind turbine station to endure the northwest wind and eat sand.

My lord, you have arrived

In this year, the era of Zhenguan began, and Zhang Gongjin was thirty-two years old, full of vigor and ambition, yet criticized by others as a sycophant who ingratiated himself with the powerful...

In other words, Lao Zhang's final title was: Head of the Materials Testing Department at a certain wind and solar power generation experimental station, as well as a maintenance technician for a certain model of wind turbine

For Zhang De, whose main profession in his previous life was to help others with repairs, compared to the fourteen-year-old youth before him, he had fared even worse than the greenskins in Warhammer.

Did you think that was the end of the matter? As it turned out, the local garrison seemed to temporarily be unable to find the repair engineering vehicles. Coincidentally, on a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, Zhang De, who was riding a little donkey to forage, was spotted by the soldiers. Upon hearing that he was an engineering dog who had fought in the Three Mountains and Five Peaks across the seas, they immediately treated him to fine wine and delicacies

However, this student, the elephant, will inherit the promising title of Duke of Zou in the future. ... Moreover, although he may not achieve the same official rank as his father, Zhang Gongjin, he will at least manage to attain the position of a fourth-rank Assistant Minister, and he will be the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue ... ? ... Can you believe it? ? A lucrative position.

Li Residence

It is true that ten-year-old Zhang De cannot stir up waves, but can seventeen-year-old Zhang De sing "Conquer"?

Isn't it just a few tanks, a few armored vehicles, a few engineering vehicles, a few ...? ... right? A small CASE.

Thus, Zhang De had dealings with the oil machinery, but that gentleman soon fell due to certain secret matters, while Zhang De, who was not at all affected by retaliation, went to the northwest to eat sand, embracing the desolate demeanor of the ancient road, the west wind, and the lean horse.

When Lao Zhang felt that he would achieve some small success in materials science, due to a copy, he was transported to the Tang Dynasty, becoming a distant nephew of Zhang Gongjin, one of the Twenty-Four Founding Ministers of the Lingyan Pavilion.

This is not scientific

In the same year, Zhang De arrived in Chang'an, originally intending to make his way from Zhuque Street to Pingkangfang to see what the legendary "flamboyant brothel" was like. Although he would not see Yang Miaor and Wang Tuaner right away, at the very least, he should compare it with the differences from the skilled workers in Dongcao, shouldn't he

If one were to don a military green outfit, it would likely be quite splendid

It is said that the people of Jiangyin are even more straightforward than those from the north, and this is indeed the case. Come, let us go to my brother's study, for Da Lang must speak at length about the customs and scenery of Jiangnan

Well, the head of the Materials Testing Department holds quite a significant position. There is only one person in the entire department

Before the black-sailed boat had crossed the river, news arrived that the Tang Dynasty had a new emperor

In recent times, a remarkable figure has emerged from the Northern Sect, namely the Duke Hongshen, referred to by Tan Shu, whose real name is Zhang Gongjin. He is destined to be ranked eighteenth in the Lingyan Pavilion. Originally, Zhang Gongjin was involved with Wang Shichong, but he later received the title of Duke of Zou, primarily due to the Xuanwu Gate Incident in which Li Shimin killed his own brother.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a courtyard of several hundred square meters, which stirs a ripple of emotions within this engineering graduate from the rural outskirts of Furong City, filled with envy and resentment, spanning two lifetimes

Uncle Tan, is it possible not to go in

Zhang Daxiang, this is the name of the youth. Great music is often silent, and the great elephant is formless, what a wonderful meaning

Going to Chang'an is not what Zhang De desires either

Zhang Gongjin thrived at the Qin Wangfu, and since he was jointly recommended to Li Shimin by Xu Maogong and Weichi Gong, he could be considered a small faction in his own right. As the contemporary leader of the Northern Sect and a top figure who had emerged from the Jiangshui Zhang family after hundreds of years, it was only natural for him to lend a hand to his relatives.

"It turns out it is the elder brother in person; I am honored to meet you, younger brother."

Life is truly as lonely as snow

Upon seeing Zhang De, the young man exclaimed, "Elder brother, our father has awaited your return for half a year, and you have finally come back. How is it? Jiangnan and Chang'an are indeed quite different, aren't they?"

The key issue is that he was originally an eccentric man with a scruffy beard and a melancholic gaze. But now? He has transformed into a handsome and elegant young man with red lips and white teeth, still a graceful young lad.

As the small cart arrived at the Zhang residence, it immediately noticed the large plaque at the neighboring Xu Maogong's house

Two robust qilin arms manually push and pull a test metal piece weighing 250 pounds for 300,000 times, can you believe it

However, for Zhang De, this name evokes little more than the image of Crayon Shin-chan taking off his pants to reveal his little private parts while singing, and it truly lacks any sense of grandeur or sophistication

Alright, go ahead and perform the maintenance

His name was originally supposed to be very meaningful, but for a wild engineering dog, this is nothing more than amusing to him, and he has no other thoughts about it

The clan uncle is thoughtful

Indeed, Xu Maogong was granted a surname by Emperor Gaozu, and to avoid the taboo of the fratricide committed by his brother, he was named Li Zhi.

Do not be deceived by the current success of Zhang Gongjin at the age of thirty-two, nor by his complaints about his late father Zhang Gongyi passing away at a young age. In another seven years, Zhang Gongjin will also ascend to the heavens, also passing away at a young age. Can you believe it

Regarding the wear resistance of a certain alloy

Uncle Tan quietly reminded Zhang De

The Jiang family of Zhang is not comparable to those prominent Zhang clans, yet it has been passed down through several generations. During the Southern Liang period, one branch moved to Weizhou and came to be known as the Northern Lineage

It is said that he will also be sent to Daizhou for a visit, to serve as the Grand Commander once again

The style is completely off

The old servant Uncle Tan is in high spirits. In his younger days, he mingled with Mai Tiezhang in the Southern Chen. The ancestral head of the Zhang family from the Jiangshui Zhang clan had saved his life, so he changed his appearance and settled in the Zhang family Dai in Jiyang County.

The soldier was filled with joy upon seeing him, and the leader of a certain armored regiment patted his fluffy chest and said, "I acknowledge you as my brother"

Old Zhang, having just started his business with no capital, encountered a soldier from outside who blocked the road to rob him

The affairs of the world are unpredictable; halfway through, Li Shimin began to kill his brothers for pleasure. Meanwhile, Zhang Gongjin, who had cruelly tormented Xue Wanche and Feng Li, had already been quietly promised the title of Duke of Dingyuan by Li Shimin

In the ninth year of the Wude era, the Jiyang County established by the former Sui Dynasty was once again merged into Jiangyin County. To the east of Furong City lies the Aotou Sandbar by the great river. Zhang De, accompanied by his old servant, embarked on the journey to Chang'an.

Zhang De looked at the surging river and couldn't help but feel distressed: I really don't want to go to Chang'an

With a raised hand and clasped fists, it is indeed quite refreshing
