The third update is here!

A set of round-necked robe with small light green patterns, black veil, black leather boots and copper belt, and a brass official seal, Zhang Chao officially took office as the General Administration of Lizhou.

He participated in the military and had all the seventh grade to the ninth grade. Li Shiji treated Zhang Chao well and directly gave him a seventh grade.

The official seals are all ready-made, but they are not available for the time being.

The Tang Dynasty's confession was the identity certificate of an official, which was equivalent to a letter of appointment. Li Shiji could directly recruit Zhang Chao as an official in the General Administration, but if he had to obtain a formal confession, he had to submit the confession to the court. After review and approval by the Shangshu Province, the Ministry of Personnel, etc., he could only give the confession to the confession, and write it on yellow silk paper and put it in a brocade bag. The confession must be stamped with the seal of the Shangshu Department of Personnel.

Every official, regardless of his rank, will be punished. Zhang Chao received one when he was appointed as the Yunqiwei before. Now he is in office for military service, and only has the official robe and seal but has not yet sued him. He is not a real official.

However, at the beginning of the founding of the country, it would be no problem not to sue him.

Zhang Chao didn't care much about joining the military, but his father was very excited.

He couldn't wait to ask Zhang Chao to change into his official uniform, and then watched with a smile for a long time.

The Yunqiwei, who is the seventh-rank chief, and the seventh-rank chief, both are the seventh-rank chief, but there is still a big difference. The Yunqiwei is just a great official, with no position or power, and can only enjoy some treatment. However, the military affairs are real positions. A real official, once he wears this light green official robe, he will be considered to have officially entered the officialdom.

Once he entered the officialdom, it means that Zhang Chao's identity has completely changed. It turns out that when he had no official position, he had land, but he was only a small landlord, and his identity still belonged to the farmer class. But now, with honors and positions, he immediately entered the class of scholars.

From then on, the Zhang family was also considered a member of the aristocratic family.

This is not only a change in Zhang Chao's identity alone, but also a change in the identity of the Zhang family.

Moreover, the officials of the Tang Dynasty were similar to those of later generations. If they did not make big mistakes, they could go up and not down. As long as they became officials, they would almost be an official for their entire lives.

"It looks good, it's so good." Dad tsk.

However, Zhang Chao felt that this green robe was really not very good-looking. Officials rely on their grade clothing colors, the third or above were purple, the fourth grade dark scarlet color, the fifth grade light scarlet color, the sixth grade dark green, the seventh grade light green, the eighth grade dark blue, and the ninth grade light green.

Color represents level and identity.

Ordinary common people can only be white, brown, and gray, and the yamen will wear soap.

The military uniforms of soldiers during the Sui Dynasty were yellow, while the military uniforms of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were red.

Zhang Chao thought light green was not good-looking, but in the eyes of my father and Ke Shan, light green was the symbol of the official's identity.

When the official reaches the fifth rank, he or she has to be given a silverfish bag, and the third rank or above can also have a goldfish bag.

Qin Qiong was also very happy to see Zhang Chao's outfit. He patted Zhang Chao on the shoulder, "Yes, I finally got an official, so I will concentrate on doing it from now on. As for the family's industry, I'll leave it to the manager."

"Today you are in office, I have prepared a few banquets for you, which are considered as a tail-burning banquet. Come on, this piece of jade is a gift I give you, bring it with me."

A gentleman wears jade.

Jade was also a symbol of identity in ancient times. Untouchables were not qualified to wear jade. Even good people, if they were just ordinary people and had no identity, they were not qualified to wear it.

Zhang Chao is now an official, so Qin Qiong brought him a good jade pendant.

There was a jade pendant hanging on the left waist and an official seal hanging on the right waist. Joining military affairs was a military position. Zhang Chao also wore a horizontal knife, and he did look a bit imposing.

Zhang Chao's horizontal knife is not ordinary. Luo Shixin gave Zhang Chao a horizontal knife before. He used a simple knife. But this time, this one was given by Li Shiji, the immediate boss.

The decoration is very beautiful, with the handles of the jade and the scabbards inlaid with gold and jade.

The most amazing thing is that the knife is quite sharp.

The horizontal knife is the best knife of this era. It originated from the development of iron and steelmaking technology during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. After the emergence of the steel pouring method, the steel output was greatly increased, providing conditions for the mass production of high-quality steel knives.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, wars were frequent, and the level of weapon manufacturing continued to improve.

The steel produced by the steel filling method was called Su Tie in this era, and the knives made by the Baosteel method were called Su Tie Knife. The pinnacle of Su Tie Knife is the horizontal knife.

The straight blade body, sharp oblique tip, and large slope of the blade opening allow this horizontal knife to have extremely strong armor-breaking performance. Especially after using the soil-covered and burning technology, the blade hardness of the horizontal knife is stronger and the toughness of the back of the knife is better.

Even an ordinary horizontal knife can have the sharpness of cutting fifteen cowhides with one knife, and one knife can cut off five curly mats.

Among them, the horizontal sword created by the master can directly cut off thirty pieces of cowhide, and with one knife, it can cut a big fat pig in the waist.

With its breakthrough in iron smelting and steelmaking technology, the horizontal knife has improved its tool building technology and has become the absolute king of swords in this era.

However, the cost of the horizontal sword is quite expensive and very high. However, the elite Tang army soldiers were almost all in one hand.

Even in the form of horizontal swords, the military has developed a sharper and more sharp Mo Dao. The Mo Dao is simply an enhanced version of the horizontal sword. It weighs fifteen kilograms, seven feet long, three feet long, four feet long, and can be used in horse and stance and waterways. It is especially suitable for dealing with cavalry. When a row of Mo Dao hands wave the Mo Dao at the same time, even the cavalry dare not snatch its edge!

The horizontal knife that Li Shiji gave Zhang Chao was said to have been created by a generation of horizontal sword masters.

The cowhide armor has no protective power to the horizontal sword at all. If you slash with one knife, you can cut the leather armor with two pieces in the half. If you wear fish scale iron armor, it will be difficult to break the armor by the horizontal sword, but if you slash with one knife, you can even break the ribs. If you slash with the tip of the knife, the fish scale armor will not be blocked at all.

To resist the horizontal sword, only the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty has relatively good defense.

The circular guard on the Mingguang armor is convex. Because it is a whole piece, even if a sharp horizontal knife is slashed on it, it can only concave the circular guard, and it cannot break the circular guard made of a whole piece of iron. Even the sharp blade tip cannot penetrate it.

However, the bright light armor of ordinary soldiers is the strongest round guards and important parts of the front chest and back. However, there are no round armor in other positions. The better ones are iron leaves, and the almost only cowhide, and even worse Ming light armor. Apart from those round guards, the other positions are just a few layers of cloth.

The horizontal sword still has extremely strong lethality.

However, Zhang Chao felt that he had no chance to use this sharp and precious knife, and at most it was just hanging it. Fortunately, the horizontal knife was relatively short and light, and not too heavy.

Shan Xiongxin also gave Zhang Chao a promotion gift, a set of bright light armor. It is not the bright light armor worn by ordinary soldiers, but the luxurious bright light armor of the generals. The heart protection mirrors are all made of brass, and the other parts are mountain-patterned armor, which has strong anti-spun and arrow functions. In addition, it also needs to be equipped with neck protection, wrist protection, arm protection, leg protection, shin protection, etc.

The entire armor was also extremely heavy, with a capacity of more than forty pounds.

Although the armor is very well designed, after wearing it, the weight of the armor is shared by multiple parts of the body, and is not as heavy as carrying a load, it is still too heavy for Zhang Chao.

Putting on the full set of armor, he even had some difficulty walking, let alone fighting.

Like that bright silver spear, Zhang Chao felt that this could only be used as his collection. Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin was good, and knew that Zhang Chao could not wear the armor, so he also gave him a armor set.

A set of silk armor looks like a bright light armor, but in fact it is made of colorful silk. This silk armor is more like a military dress, but because it is made of silk, many parts are lined with steel wire, which actually has good defense capabilities.

It is not very resistant to chopping, but it can prevent stabbing, especially the anti-arrow performance is good.

The most important thing is that such a set is only about ten pounds, and Zhang Chao can run easily after putting it on.

Because during the war, although it was in the city, Zhang Chao's tail-cooking banquet did not have any wine.

The dish was also very simple, mainly mutton, Qin Qiong personally arranged it. With his own face, he caught all the generals in Lizhou City. The general managers and lieutenants came to celebrate Zhang Chao.

Because Zhang Chao has the reputation of rejuvenating his life, and everyone says that Zhang Chao has a magic pill in his hand, which can cure human flesh and bones, so the generals are not just because of Qin Qiong's face.

When fighting on the battlefield, no one would expect that he would not be injured. If he could get to know a miracle doctor, he would also give himself some convenience.

On the mat, Zhang Chao started wearing a green official robe, and later his father and others asked Zhang Chao to put on armor. Zhang Chao changed into that set of silk armor. After changing into armor, Zhang Chao was different from before. He was originally quite tall and he was training every day during this period. He didn't grow much, but his figure became stronger. After putting on armor, he became much more mighty.

It attracted many generals to praise him, and they all felt that Zhang Chao could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in exchange for fame and fortune.

The friends who were in Chang'an also came today. Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianhu, Li Gan, and many other generals' children gathered together and had a very happy chat.

Cheng Chumo changed the most. He became dark and thinner, but his eyes became more energetic. It can be seen that this kid adapted quickly in the military camp.

"Last time I went out with my father, pulled out a stronghold of the rebels and shot a thief with his own hands."

Cheng Chumo said proudly, "I cut off the thief's head with my own hands and brought it back."

Zhang Chao had a little tooth pain. You were not like this before. But when he thought about it, he was calm again. Although Cheng Chumo used to be a bit stupid, he was a disciple of the general after all, and he usually witnessed it a lot.

"Sanlang, wouldn't it be nice to go into battle with us to kill the enemy? I'm staying behind all day and giving those wounded soldiers a lot of shit and urine."

Niu Jianhu also said.

Zhang Chao looked at the arrogant and proud look of these bastards, picked up a piece of mutton and threw it into his mouth, chewed it hard, and then slowly said, "I wish you will never be injured, otherwise, don't come to the wounded barracks to look for me!"
