Chapter 40 Pretending to be a special envoy into the tiger's den
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, Zheng Yao and Yuan Haiyun were also trembling.
What should I do if I have been exposed before I even took action?
At this time, both Yuan Haiyun and Zhengyao were anxious. However, the other party had already discovered that he could only face it calmly.
When Zhengyao and Yuan Haiyun turned around and looked over.
I saw that the person who came was wearing a light yellow shirt and was very different from those shirtless workers who were working. However, he saw that he had a fat face in his thirties and was over thirties, and he looked like an honest man.
.When he spoke to Zhengyao and the others, his voice was a bit thick and he looked quite leisurely, probably the person in charge of this district.
Just as Zhengyao and the others turned around, they saw the man kneeling on the ground with a panic look on his face, which made Zhengyao and Yuan Haiyun confused.
"The villain has no eyes and offended the two special envoys just now, and I hope the special envoys will forgive me!"
The fat man kowtowed and begged for mercy, as if he was very afraid of the so-called "envoy" he mentioned.
Seeing this, Zhengyao was stunned: He was obviously at a loss and didn't expect that the middle-aged fat man in front of him would actually treat him as envoys.
Now it's good that Zhengyao and Yuan Haiyun were originally planning to pretend to be the previous two if they really didn't work, but they just missed the two of them and didn't have to pretend to be the fat man. They directly recognized them as the previous two.
Thinking back to the two of them did not wear veils when they came out, there is no guarantee that they did not wear them when they were inside. The two of them were black and white before. It happened that today Zhengyao was wearing black clothes and Yuan Haiyun was wearing white clothes.
It is not uncommon to be recognized by others.
If there are any mistakes, Zhengyao would not refuse. Perhaps more of them can be found using the identities of these two people.
"I didn't expect that the two of them were so-called special envoys and seemed to have to make good use of this identity!" Yuan Haiyun muttered in his heart that his thoughts and Zhengyao naturally coincided with each other.
Since you are a special envoy, you must have the majesty of a special envoy. Otherwise, you cannot be fooled.
I saw Zhengyao coughing twice and then imitating the voice of the man in black before, saying to the middle-aged fat man: "I just went out and found that there was something strange around me, and it was the Lantern Festival again.
I feel it is necessary to come back and take a look at Yi Ce Safety in all aspects. The lord cares a lot about everything here. If something happens, you and I can't afford to take care of it!"
"Yes, yes! It is appropriate for the envoy to prepare for the future and worry about the lord's worries!" The middle-aged fat man kept nodding and bowing, afraid that he would be disrespectful to the two envoys at all.
Yuan Haiyun said angrily: "Then why don't you lead the way quickly? Do you still want us to lead the way for you?"
I really didn't expect that Yuan Haiyun also pretended to behave like a person and said something really like that, which almost made Zhengyao laugh out loud. Fortunately, the other party could not see his face at all when he was wearing a veil.
The middle-aged fat man heard the two envoys a little angry. Naturally, he did not dare to be negligent, so he immediately opened the way for the two to walk into the door.
Both Zhengyao and Yuan Haiyun breathed a sigh of relief and then calmed down and followed the middle-aged fat man calmly.
Under the leadership of the middle-aged fat man, Zhengyao and the others first walked into the hall but saw that everyone in the hall had a very orderly division of labor and clearly divided their responsibilities. They all had their own tasks at hand, and they couldn't help but attract Zhengyao's praise.
For Zhengyao, no matter what he does, as long as he looks orderly, the process division is clear, and there is a complete system. Even if he may not be able to do the best, it can at least be considered successful. Zhengyao is sure of this set at the moment.
The system of smelting and building weapons is definitely mature, and it is really much more advanced than an ordinary blacksmith shop.
"By the way, what is your name here and what position you are here, it's okay to go back and talk to your lord." Zhengyao said seriously, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to have a good relationship with the middle-aged fat man and ask what he asked from him
Come.
For the middle-aged fat man, it would be enough to meet these envoys on a normal basis, let alone the legendary lord. It is conceivable that once the envoy mentioned his name in front of the lord, he wanted to become a rich man or become a big man.
It shouldn't be a problem for officials.
Since the lord dares to make weapons privately, it is obvious that he has power and strength. Maybe if the lord succeeds in becoming the emperor, his own group of people will also be founding heroes! Thinking of this, the middle-aged fat man couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart.
The middle-aged fat man bowed and said, "The envoy is Sun Wannai, the supervisor here, is also the veteran here. Haha."
The fat supervisor who claimed to be Sun Wan did not seem to have any doubts about Zhengyao's previous envoys, perhaps not even asked this question, so he blurted out his identity and status without even thinking.
Hearing this, Zhengyao nodded and showed a complimentary look, then said to Sun Wan: "Oh Sun Wan! I have some impressions. Well, you have always performed well. I should be able to say a few good words to you.
of."
"Then I'll thank you for the special envoy! My dear!"
"Um."
As he said that, the three of them continued to walk forward.
Although Yuan Haiyun on the side didn't speak much from beginning to end, he had been watching that he still knew a lot about smelting. What he was sure was that the weapons he built from here were stronger than those on the market.
Many even some army equipment is not so detailed. If used to fight, they can really become a group of invincible cavalry.
This is not something that Yuan Haiyun exaggerates. This is a well-founded existence. Not only does it take material selection, smelting and polishing, but it will be slightly blunt after forming and will be recasted. This is unattainable in many places.
Zhengyao started to look like he walked again. He really didn't expect that the underground factory would be so big. After Zhengyao walked out of the previous factory, he came directly into a long passage. Both sides of the passage were open
I looked at a few gates and saw at a glance. There were at least twenty rooms.
Twenty rooms mean twenty factories. If one weapon is produced in two hours, then about fifty weapons will be produced three hours a day. What the two envoys talked about was one thousand weapons.
That can be done in less than a month?
Think about it carefully, the sixteen trucks of iron ore should have been shipped last night. It seems that there are still 20 days left to build a thousand weapons. The time is really fast. Once these thousand weapons are
If transported to the capital, there will undoubtedly be one thousand rebels who will be more and more shaken by then.
"I didn't expect these people to be so extreme that they are ready to rebel at any time." Zhengyao thought silently in his heart. It has been initially confirmed that the Jin family is related to private weapons and is also related to the person who claims to be a lord in the capital.
The connection is just that the identity of this lord is very mysterious. It is still impossible to find a way to find out.
Of course, what Zhengyao wants to do now is to stop this person who claims to be his lord. He must not let him succeed, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.
Although I thought a lot in my mind, the actual time was just a moment.
After listening to Sun Wan talking about the details of the production process and process and the final production goals, Zhengyao had already gained a certain understanding of the production of various weapons. Then he nodded with satisfaction and looked at Sun Wan and said: "
By the way, Sun Wan. How many safe exits are there? Is it convenient to travel?"
Zhengyao asked this question on the surface that he was concerned about the safety of the employees here, but in fact. Zhengyao wanted to know how these people should escape once they were discovered here. Because the people here are not fools, are they allowed to arrest him? Who made private weapons?
However, if the serious crime of beheading is serious, the whole family will be killed and implicated by nine clans.
So what Zhengyao is sure is that there will not be only one entrance here and there are other places.
Sun Wan whispered, "Thank you for your concern, the special envoy. At the beginning of construction, every factory building has a safe exit to prevent an emergency, so you don't have to worry too much."
"That's good, that's good!" Zhengyao nodded again and walked unknowingly to an office door that should be similar to resting, and then he said to Sun Wan: "There is another thing that I forgot to say, and this is also the lord who has been repeatedly asked.
He was told that he had come to see the number of weapons here because he had verified it before but found that there seemed to be some differences."
"Ah! Please spare my life! The villain has never embezzled weapons or something, and I hope he will observe it clearly!" Sun Wan was immediately scared to death when Zhengyao said this and immediately knelt on the ground again.
Zhengyao shook his head and smiled slightly, "Get up. I just followed the example and checked it. I didn't say you have enough pockets. Don't be afraid! Now take the Imperial to check the account book!"
What Zhengyao urgently needs to know now is how many weapons were produced here and how many weapons were transported to the capital. It is completely necessary to understand clearly.
"Well, two special envoys follow me!" As he said that, Sun Wan immediately led the way to the bookshelf, while Zhengyao and Yuan Haiyun found a stool nearby to sit down.
When he was young, Sun Wan walked up to the two of them with a notebook and handed it to Zhengyao.
Zhengyao took the notebook and saw that it should be the so-called account book. When he opened the first page, he could clearly record how many weapons were produced in which year and month. What are the categories of weapons? How many were scrapped and recast?
It can be said that everyone is clearly recorded in person. This is completely the biggest and most powerful evidence.
"Eighty-six,941 items!!!" Zheng's mind suddenly became blank. When Zheng Yao turned to the last page, he suddenly found that there were 86,941 weapons written on it.
!!!
And it's more than that!!!
"The person in charge: Zhen Guochang, Yu Dan, Zhou Yun, Wang Yong, have a lot of money..."
When Zhengyao saw the person who signed the article in each place, he was shocked again. The officials in Shaanxi seemed to be involved!! Only the four dead Xi'an prefects did not leave their names!!!
Now Zhengyao can finally confirm that the deaths of the four prefects must have been discovered. The shocking secret of officials making weapons privately! (To be continued. Welcome to Qidian (qidian.) to vote for recommendations.
