Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

Ma Tianmao's eyes widened, his mouth dropped open, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "What? Captain Gao got promoted?!"

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window lattices into Taobao Zhai. Zhang Jingwei hurried inside, preparing to purchase supplies for tonight's banquet. However, when Ma Tianmao learned of Gao Fei's promotion, he froze, his face filled with astonishment.

After a long while, Ma Tianmao came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "When will he move?"

Zhang Jingwei thought for a moment and replied, "Probably... tomorrow!"

Hearing this answer, Ma Tianmao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah? You...Brother Jingwei, you and I have such a deep friendship, why did you only tell me now? It's really too late!" As he said, he glanced at Zhang Jingwei with a little complaint.

Zhang Jingwei spread his hands helplessly and explained: "I was so excited after I learned about this last night that I couldn't sleep well! Stop talking nonsense and go shopping according to my list!" After that, he handed a list full of item names and quantities to Ma Tianmao.

Ma Tianmao took the list and looked at it, his brows furrowed. He said, "Your list... only has two hundred taels in total?"

Zhang Jingwei smiled awkwardly and asked, "Why? Did I make Brother Tian Miao feel embarrassed?"

Ma Tianmao shook his head repeatedly and said loudly, "Of course not! Two hundred taels is too shabby. How can Brother Jingwei be so stingy at such an important moment? In my opinion, at least another thousand taels should be added!"

Zhang Jingwei was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Ah... Well, since Brother Tian Miao has this idea, how about you take full charge?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Tianmao's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked excitedly, "Really? Can I really organize this banquet?"

Zhang Jingwei nodded and replied affirmatively: "Of course, I have given you full authority to do this!"

After receiving Zhang Jingwei's permission, Ma Tianmao almost jumped for joy and quickly thanked him, "Oh! Thank you so much! I'll have to plan it carefully and book a few hundred tables to make this banquet a grand and spectacular one!"

Zhang Jingwei had a gloomy face, but ordering a few hundred tables for the banquet, as long as it was held in the military camp, would not be a big deal. After all, a garrison camp had 3,000 people, and Gao Fei was also an old subordinate.

……

Zhang Jingwei returned to his room. The banquet was over. The tricky thing now was how to give Gao Fo a special gift. He thought hard and found that he had no good farewell gift at all.

Just as he was racking his brains, Zhang Liu was pushed into the room. He was holding a few clothes and said proudly, "Master! I heard that your friend got a promotion and you're busy, so I specially picked out some clothes for you. Look, these are all your favorite colors!"

Zhang Jingwei had a flash of inspiration, not because of these clothes, but because of the wheelchair that Zhang Liu was sitting in. This was made by Liang Dahai himself. This wheelchair only had a pair of axle wheels. If a circle of hand wheels was added, it could be pushed by itself unless there was any hand disease.

Zhang Jingwei stared with wide eyes, looking at the strange-looking yet very practical wheelchair in front of him in amazement. He couldn't help but shout out loud, "Dahai, how on earth did you make this wheelchair?"

Liang Dahai scratched his head and replied with a simple smile: "Master, this is actually not difficult. I just dismantled some parts from those abandoned carriages, and then found a few chairs with broken legs and pieced them together. Then, I also used some hollow materials..."

Before Liang Dahai finished speaking, Zhang Jingwei suddenly interrupted and said, "If we could add a circle of hand wheels to this wheelchair, like this..." As he said that, he walked to the side of the wheelchair and used his hands in the air to simulate the appearance of hand wheels.

Liang Dahai's eyes lit up, and he said with sudden realization: "Oh, Master, you are really a genius! In this way, even the injured person can easily push the wheelchair!"

Zhang Jingwei then asked, "Based on this design, how long would it take to create another wheelchair with the same design?"

Liang Dahai thought for a moment and replied confidently, "Don't worry, Master. As long as you can prepare all the necessary materials, half a day will definitely be enough for me!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingwei nodded quickly and said, "Okay, then I'll go buy all the materials right away. Remember, you must hurry, the sooner the better, we're in a hurry!" After that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Within half an hour, Zhang Jingwei bought all the materials, and the person who moved the goods was Dong Dazhuang, a worker at the furniture store.

Zhang Jingwei said to Liang Dahai with a serious face, "You don't need to worry about anything else today. Just focus on building a wheelchair for me. But remember to find a way to add a device that can realize the braking function!"

Hearing this, Liang Dahai couldn't help but look embarrassed and asked doubtfully: "Ah... Master, what is the brake?"

Seeing his confusion, Zhang Jingwei patiently explained, "The so-called brake is a device that can slowly stop the car!"

Liang Dahai suddenly understood, slapped his head, and responded excitedly: "Oh, so that's how it is! I understand! Young Master, you don't know, but my swill truck is equipped with a similar device. I'm an expert at this, I can definitely do it!"

Zhang Jingwei nodded with satisfaction and promised, "If you can really get this done, I will reward you handsomely with two taels of silver!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Dahai couldn't help but feel happy and quickly thanked him: "Thank you for the reward, young master. I will definitely do my best and get to work immediately!"

It has to be said that Liang Dahai was extremely intelligent. According to the ideas and thoughts described by Zhang Jingwei, he immediately started to make wheelchairs in full swing.

While he was busy, Liang Dahai suddenly asked curiously, "Master, why don't you go and accompany the young mistress to the drinking party?"

Zhang Jingwei replied angrily, "It's broad daylight, who would choose this time to hold a drinking party? Wait, who did you say was going to the drinking party?"

Liang Dahai quickly replied, "It's the young lady. The prince sent someone to invite her to the restaurant in the nearby market early this morning!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingwei instantly flew into a rage and roared in rage: "Fuck it!"

As he spoke, he picked up a wooden stick from the side and ran towards the restaurant angrily.
