Chapter 177: Shadow Floating

Lord Yang laughed. Chu Ruxiao's face was a little unnatural.

Yang Muyun saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked and walked into a workshop. It was a large workshop with dozens of craftsmen, and a master of about sixty years of age was instructing them in making gunpowder.

The craftsman reached out and picked up a pinch of medicinal powder from a wooden mortar, put it in the palm of his hand and twisted it. He frowned and said to a craftsman beside him: "There are too many impurities, how do you do things?" Throw it away, re-allocate it proportionally, and if you don't do it well, your salary will be halved this month. ”

Looking at the stern and meticulous appearance of this craftsman, Yang Muyun suddenly became interested in him.

"This master is invited." Yang Muyun stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

"Don't dare," the craftsman hurriedly bowed, "I don't know what your lord commands?" Although Yang Muyun was young, he was wearing the uniform of a fifth-grade official, so he didn't dare to slack off.

"Master's surname?" Yang Muyun asked with a smile.

"The villain Wu Youshun should not be an adult to say a noble word." The craftsman replied respectfully.

"Master Wu is loyal to the country, and he is very rigorous in his work." Yang Muyun boasted.

"The adult is overrated," Wu Youshun said with some sincere fear: "The villain only thinks about doing his part, but doesn't think about anything else." ”

"I just heard Master Wu say that the powder with too many impurities was thrown away directly, and the official didn't quite understand, can you explain it to the official in detail." Yang Muyun asked with a frown.

Wu Youshun glanced at Chu Ruxiao, and saw that he didn't say anything, so he said: "Thanks to the adults, the villain dares not to answer," and then talked eloquently, "The powder of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal must be mixed into a wooden mortar in proportion, and then a little soju is added, and the three powders are mixed into a state of wet mud, and constantly stirred with a wooden pestle," accentuated the tone, "In this process, it is strictly forbidden to prevent the entry of impurities such as sand and stones, because too many impurities are easy to cause fire and ...... due to bumps during the mixing process."

"Oh," Yang Muyun nodded, picked up the wine jar beside a craftsman and looked at it, "Is there a requirement for this blended wine?" ”

"Lord Hui," Wu Youshun said: "This wine must be a good soju, and the inferior wine in the small workshop cannot be used," seeing the inquiring look in Yang Muyun's eyes, he explained: "The alcohol in the inferior wine is not pure enough to fully integrate the three powders, so the quality of the gunpowder is greatly reduced." ”

"Really?" Yang Muyun raised the bottom of the altar and squinted at it.

"My lord," Chu Ruxiao took a step forward and said, "The liquor imported by Wang Gongchang is all purchased from some big wineries in the capital, and there is absolutely no problem with this quality. ”

"Well," Yang Muyun nodded, put down the wine jar and smiled at Wu Youshun, "It's okay, and then ......"

Wu Youshun was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said: "When the mixed powder is about to dry, add wine and pound it again, so that they can be fully and evenly mixed together, and finally you can take it out and dry it in the sun." ”

"Interesting," Yang Muyun said leisurely: "Listening to what Master Wu said, it really opened the eyes of this official. ”

"After the powder is dried, it can be stored in the warehouse, right?" Yang Muyun asked.

"Not yet," Wu Youshun glanced at Chu Ruxiao and said: "After drying, it will be inspected by Deng Chang's father-in-law, and it can only be put into storage after it is qualified." ”

"How?" Yang Muyun picked up a pinch of medicinal powder and asked.

"Extract a pinch of medicinal powder at will, put it on paper and burn it, if the medicinal powder can be quickly burned out and the paper is intact, it is considered a qualified product; On the contrary, if there are black stars and white dots left on the paper, it is still considered unqualified and needs to be reworked and re-milled until it is qualified. Wu Youshun said word by word.

"Deng Changgong is really strict in his work," Yang Muyun sighed, his fingers twisting the powder down: "How many catties of gunpowder can Master Wu's workshop produce in a day?" ”

"About three hundred pounds!" Wu Youshun thought for a moment and said.

"Are 300 catties all qualified products?" Yang Muyun asked again.

"Of course," as soon as he said this, Wu Youshun came to his senses, "Lord Yang, I'm not blowing to you, the medicinal powder that went out of my workshop, if there is a pound of unqualified, I won't say a word, pat my ass and leave......"

"Ahem," Chu Ruxiao coughed lightly a few times. Wu Youshun hurriedly stopped the following words and stood aside.

Yang Muyun rolled his eyes and smiled at Chu Ruxiao: "Master Wu."

The father's management and skills have been seen by the official, and he really admires the official, "Turn around," Chu factory sticker, go, lead the official to the next workshop to have a look......

......

Under the guidance of Chu Ruxiao, Yang Muyun went around the entire Wang Gong factory, looked at all ten workshops, and talked with the craftsmen of each workshop.

"Lord Yang," Chu Ruxiao said with a smile on the side, "Where do you think you are going to see?" ”

"No need," Yang Muyun looked tired now, "If it weren't for Lord Shilang's explanation, this official wouldn't have bothered to run here and there," he put his hands behind his waist, twisted slightly, and waved his hand to the general behind him, "Go, go back to the ya!" ”

Deng Enguang was resting on the couch in his inner room, and a maid was next to the collapse and gently beating his calf.

Chu Ruxiao lifted the curtain and walked in, and when he saw that the factory was resting, he stood aside.

Deng Enguang snorted in his nose, did not lift his eyelids, waved his hand, and the maid got up and bowed, bowed her head, and retreated.

"He's gone?" Deng Enguang asked in a sharp voice.

"Yes, Gonggong." Chu Ruxiao bowed slightly and said.

"Hmph, a little guy doesn't want to come here to find it," Deng Enguang said: "There is really no one in this military department." ”

"What the factory said is," Chu Ruxiao said with a smile: "The little one thinks that the military department is just coming out to deal with it, otherwise why would he send such a stinky boy over." ”

Deng Enguang's eyes showed a slight slit, "That kid didn't see anything?" ”

"That kid," Chu Ruxiao pouted and said, "It's just a chick who has never seen the world, as soon as he enters the factory, he feels rare here, where he feels curious, and the questions he asks are quite funny...... Children, it's over after a little coaxing. ”

"Well," Deng Enguang nodded, "Then you have to be careful, did anyone else in the factory say something that shouldn't be said?" ”

"Who dare," Chu Ruxiao said, "I don't dare to talk nonsense if I borrow the courage of the two of them." ”

"Did he mention looking at the books?" Dunn asked, slanting a wide glance at him.

"No," Chu Ruxiao said: "His military department only has the responsibility of inspection, what qualifications do you have to interfere in the accounts, that kid doesn't mention it, and if he proposes it, he will have a way to give him back." ”

"Very good," Deng Enguang squinted and smiled, "You have done a good job in this matter, and my father will reward you later." ”

After Yang Muyun boarded the car, the tiredness on his face was swept away, and his eyes became sharp.

"My lord, are you going back to the military department?" The general who came with him asked.

"No, go to Guangjuxuan." Yang Muyun said word for word.

......

The owner of Guangjuxuan is surnamed Miao, called Miao Maosheng, and this restaurant has been handed down from his grandfather's generation, and he is the fifth generation here. This man had better listen to some strange things, and he was amazed by what had happened in his hotel yesterday, so he told everyone he could.

"You don't know," Boss Miao said to the diners who came to his restaurant with his eyebrows fluttering: "Yesterday's battle, not to mention how exciting it was, the Yang director of the military department is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was born with red lips and white teeth, handsome and chi......c."

"Fifteen or sixteen?" A diner said with some disbelief: "Boss, are you not mistaken, the head of the military department is also a six-rank officer, and a half-year-old child can also be a child?" ”

"What's so strange about that?" Boss Miao glanced at the diner, "Ganluo of the pre-Qin Dynasty has been worshipping the prime minister since he was twelve years old, there is an old saying called what, heroes have been young since ancient times!" That Yang is a young hero, don't look at the Tartar named Polo who looks tall and big, he is like a marionette in his hands, Yang is asking him to fight the east, he can't throw his arms to the west......"

"And what's going on?" Another diner asked, "Why did Director Yang carry that Tartar to the east and west?" ”

"He's sitting on that tartar's shoulder," Boss Miao gestured, "and that Polo followed the devil, punching and kicking his men like crazy, and in a moment the man fell to ......"

Boss Miao became more and more energetic the more he said,

Just like a commentary, the diners in the hotel were dumbfounded.

In a corner by the window of the hotel, three people sit. In the middle is a handsome young man wearing an autumn-colored robe and a Tang scarf, as handsome as a jade tree in the wind, and on his left side sits a strong man with a bearded face, and on the right is a slender man.

Seeing Boss Miao's speech, the slender man frowned and said to the young man, "Little boy, why are you still here today?" ”

"No why?" The little boy's pretty eyes rolled twice, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, "I just suddenly want to come and sit here for a while." ”

"Didn't you make an appointment with His Holiness of Great Compassion to meet at the Great Mercy and Grace Temple today?" The slender man said, "It would be disrespectful to keep His Holiness waiting for a long time. ”

"Don't worry, sit down for a while," the little boy said leisurely: "It's extremely disrespectful to go early and break the good deeds of the Dharma King." ”

The slender man saw a look of disdain in his eyes, and just wanted to say a few more words, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but speak.

The little boy glanced at him and said leisurely: "Isn't what this son said wrong?" That girl is the first beauty in the southern capital, if you visit at the same time, do you say that the amorous Daci Dharma King is the one who is beautiful in the world? Or are you and me? ”

"The little boy is right," the bearded man spoke at this time, "Master, don't insist anymore." ”

The lanky man sighed, shook his head, and stopped talking.

"Heroes have been young since ancient times," the little boy glanced at Boss Miao, who was very talkative, and the essence in his eyes flashed, "But the hero is also sad to pass the beauty pass," his gaze turned to the slender man, "That perilla girl has been in the capital since she entered the capital, but she has stolen a lot of limelight from Liu Yunxi, the first beauty in Beijing, master, which of the two of them do you say is more beautiful?" ”

"The subordinates don't praise the judgment," the slender man smiled bitterly, "It's not them who the subordinates are worried about." ”

"Master's personality makes my son admire," the little boy smiled leisurely, "If you appreciate it a little more, you will see some very special veins......" As he spoke, his eyebrows raised, and the faint smile on his face disappeared.

A team of officers and soldiers suddenly broke into the restaurant, and one of them had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, wearing a azure official robe, which was the young hero Yang Muyun that Boss Miao said.

"Yo, Lord Master, you're here again." When the boss of Guangjuxuan saw Yang Muyun leading a team of officers and soldiers to the store, he was stunned, and then greeted him with a smile on his face and said.

"What is the principal, this is our Wailang." The generals beside Yang Muyun scolded and corrected him.

"Staff...... Outsider-sama? Boss Miao was dumbfounded, it was only one night, and the young hero he said was promoted to the next level.

"Take someone to the account room and bring all the account books to the officer." Yang Muyun instructed the generals around him. He turned his face sideways and smiled at Boss Miao, "Shopkeeper, we meet again." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Boss Miao's face became ugly, "The grass people haven't done anything to be a traitor, just now, the grass people are still talking to the people in the store about the heroic deeds of adults yesterday!" ”

"Then the official wants to thank you?" Yang Muyun turned around and dropped a sentence, "Take him inside to talk." ”

......

"My lord, can you tell me what the grass people have done?" Boss Miao asked uneasily.

"You made a big mistake," Yang Muyun carefully flipped through the account book, and threw out a sentence coldly, "Fornication with foreign prisoners, what kind of fault do you say this is?" ”

As soon as Boss Miao heard that it was like five thunderbolts, his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a pop, "Wronged!" Adult"

Hearing his scream, Yang Muyun looked up in amazement, only to hear him say as he said: "Those Tartars came to the small shop to buy wine, and the small shop has no reason not to sell it to them!" ”

"That's all?" Yang Muyun said lightly.

"My lord," said Boss Miao, "the imperial court did not explicitly say that the wine could not be sold to those Tartars!" ”

"That's not what the official wants to ask," Yang Muyun stared at him and said, "In addition to those Tartars from yesterday, who else have you sold a large amount of wine in your store to?" ”

"Who have you sold to in large quantities?" Boss Miao thought for a moment, "This store is not a workshop specializing in selling wine, so who can buy a lot of wine from the grass people?" ”
