Chapter 176: Visiting the Pharmaceutical Factory
Dai Yu obediently walked out of the room and closed the door.
"You may be seated!" Lin Meier honestly and unceremoniously sat down on the chair, waved her hand at Yang Muyun and smiled. As if this was her home, Yang Muyun became a guest instead.
Yang Muyun smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders and sat down opposite her.
"My master has already told you everything about me, right?" Lin Mei'er glanced at him and said.
"Hmm," Yang Muyun replied noncommittally.
"Master and I don't want to force you to join," Lin Mei'er glanced at him and said, "Your curiosity is too strong, you must know that eavesdropping on other people's conversations is a taboo in the rivers and lakes, and some people have even lost their lives because of it......"
Lin ...... Miss Mu," Yang Muyun's face was a little unnatural, "Then you say, how should I cooperate with you now?" ”
"It's not Miss Mu, you should call me Yunqing," the corners of Lin Mei'er's mouth curled, "Did you forget the role you chose for yourself that night so quickly?" ”
"Oh," Yang Muyun rubbed his chin awkwardly, "I don't remember clearly, so I'd better ask my aunt...... Yun Qing will tell me more about it! ”
"First of all, I am no longer Lin Mei'er now, but Mu Yunqing, you must not call this wrong," Lin Mei'er glanced at him, and said word by word: "You are still the original identity Yang Muyun, I have a childhood sweetheart relationship with you, because of your empathy, I left you in anger and went to Saibei ......"
"Stop," Yang Muyun interjected: "Do you say that you use my true identity to maintain a relationship with you?" ”
"Why, no?" Lin Mei'er asked with a roll of her eyes.
"Then what should I do if the other party checks my past based on my identity?" Yang Muyun said.
"Then let them check it," Lin Mei'er smiled, "Since my master arranged to do this, are you still afraid that they will check it?" ”
"Your master is really powerful," Yang Muyun smiled, "Are all the people of Xuanniaowei your master's disciples?" ”
"Yuan Qi'er came this time to obtain a map of the military deployment of five hundred miles around my Daming Jingshi," Lin Mei'er ignored his words and cut straight to the point, "She bribed Gu Yunduo, a member of the Ministry of War, to steal this map, but he has never been able to get it." ”
"So you want me to steal it?" Yang Muyun couldn't help but ask.
"That's not necessary," Lin Mei'er pursed her lips and smiled, "You can keep an eye on him, and once he steals the picture, you can snatch it from him......"
"What?" Yang Muyun exclaimed.
"Why are you so nervous?" Lin Mei'er smiled coquettishly: "At that time, I will appear by your side and persuade you to dedicate the picture to Yuan Qi'er, even if you have made a great contribution before joining them!" ”
"Good idea, good idea," Yang Muyun smiled reluctantly, "so that she won't have the slightest suspicion." ”
"What else do you have in mind?" Lin Mei'er glanced at him and asked.
"It's nothing else," Yang Muyun hesitated for a moment and said, "I have now received an errand from the Ministry of War......" and told Lin Meier in detail about this matter at the moment.
"It seems that what Tartar is planning is not only my Ming army deployment map," Lin Mei'er muttered, frowning, and glancing at him, "What are your plans?" ”
"My Daming's individual combat power is not as good as that of the Tartars," Yang Muyun said: "If you lose the benefits of firearms again, it will be even more impossible to stop the Tartars from breaking through." ”
"Do you want to get to the bottom of this case?" Lin Meier said.
"Well," Yang Muyun nodded, "The outflow of arms endangers the safety of the community, and it cannot be taken lightly." ”
"That's good," Lin Mei'er didn't refute him, "I will report this matter to Master to know, and you can act according to your method for the time being." ”
The two then discussed a few more questions, and Lin Meier stood up, "It's getting late, I should go back too." ”
"If you go back now, won't you arouse Yuan Qi'er's suspicion?" Yang Muyun got up and asked.
"Your place is what she revealed to me," Lin Mei'er curled the corners of her lips, "If I don't come here, she will be suspicious!" ”
"Oh," Yang Muyun suddenly said, "I'll send you." ”
"Hmm," Lin Mei'er's seductive eyes flickered,
But the big beauty next to you can't follow you out. ”
Yang Muyun returned to the house after sending Lin Mei'er, and Dai Yu had already helped him make the bed.
As soon as the "sir" saw him come in, Dai Yu came up and helped him untie his clothes.
"Hmm......" Yang Muyun glanced at her and said, "You can't tell anyone about tonight, understand?" ”
"The slave knows," Dai Yu bowed slightly, "Miss Mu hasn't been here tonight, it's the slave and maid who have been with you all the time." ”
Yang Muyun nodded with satisfaction, seeing her delicate and lovely appearance, he reached out and gently supported her small chin, "You are very smart, I find that I already like you a little." ”
Dai Yu fell into Yang Muyun's arms with a shy face, feeling a burst of sweetness in her heart, this man finally had his own place in his heart.
......
Dai Yu was lying beside Yang Muyun, her heart was pounding like a deer, how she hoped that the man next to her could caress her well and make her a real woman.
But Yang Muyun didn't look at her, his brows were tightly locked, as if he had infinite concerns.
Dai Yu turned over, her beautiful forehead gently pressed against Yang Muyun's cheeks, the jade arms like snow lotus slowly wrapped around his neck, her lips opened lightly, she blew like an orchid, and called softly: "My lord"
"Hmm" Yang Muyun seemed to have just woken up from his thoughts, and saw the soft jade body of the beautiful woman next to him wrapped around him, with a shy look, and suddenly woke up and said: "It's not good"
"What's wrong, sir?" Dai Yu couldn't help but wonder when she saw his frightened look.
"Well," Yang Muyun pushed away the jade arm wrapped around her neck, stared at her and asked, "Is there a good blacksmith shop in this capital?" ”
"Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Seeing his serious look, Dai Yu said: "There is a Moji blacksmith shop in the Machang Hutong of Faxiangfang in the north of the city, which is famous for iron pots, saws, hammers, kitchen knives, embroidery needles, and horseshoes......
"Then does he build weapons?" Yang Muyun asked.
"Weapons?" Dai Yu couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, "The imperial court has very strict control over civilian casting weapons, how can an ordinary blacksmith shop create such a thing......" He pondered for a while, and said: "But some time ago, I heard that Chen Chengfeng, the son of the Ningyang Hou Mansion, privately created a sword in the Moji blacksmith shop, which is very sharp, blowing hair and breaking hair, not a problem, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”
"Chen Chengfeng?" Yang Muyun had a strange look on his face, this name evoked his years in the southern capital, Song Ping of the Xining Hou Mansion, Jiang Wenying of the Dingxi Hou Mansion, Zhang Tianhe of the British Mansion, and Chen Chengfeng's sister Chen Siyu......
"Do you know Chen Chengfeng's son from the Ningyang Hou Mansion?" Seeing that he was in a trance, Dai Yu couldn't help but ask.
"This name just sounds a little familiar," Yang Muyun gently knocked his forehead a few times with his right hand, and said to Dai Yu: "I feel very tired today, I want to rest early, I still have errands to do tomorrow, you can also sleep well!" As he spoke, he lay down with his back to her, thinking to himself: "Since I joined the military department, I can't carry weapons with me, if I encounter a tricky incident, it will really catch people off guard, Ning Zuer's belt sword is not bad, when it is not in use, it is inserted back into the belt, so that people can't see it at all, it is better to create a weapon like that, it is easy to carry, and I am not afraid of making taboos......"
He was thinking about things in his heart, but he didn't know that a pair of resentful eyes were watching him behind him......
I've been with him for two nights, but this man just doesn't touch himself, Dai Yu bit her cherry lips, she has always been conceited about her beauty, and now she is a little uneasy, her autumn-like eyes looked at the back of Yang Muyun's head for a moment, and gradually clenched her pink fist really wanted to go up to give him a knockout, knock him out, and then go up to untie his underwear to see if he was a real man...... Thinking of this, her jade face couldn't help but turn red again.
The next day, Yang Muyun came to the military department again, and an errand officer found him and hurriedly led him to the lobby of the military department. There, there were two rows of guards standing on both sides, and a father-in-law stood in the middle, and when he saw him, he smiled and asked him to kneel to receive the holy decree, Yang Muyun knelt down in confusion, and listened to the eunuch Lu Si Liliu read out the will, and he realized that the emperor had promoted him to an official, just two
In the next day, he was promoted from a sixth-grade director to a fifth-grade outsider, which was unprecedented, and aroused the envy of the people around him.
When he came to the signing room of Wu Wending in the arsenal Qing Shilang, Lord Wu was much more polite to him than yesterday, his eyes were full of envy.
Wu Wending looked at the young official in front of him, he was only fifteen years old, what was he doing at the age of fifteen? Not...... It seems that I am still reading sage books in the county school!
Looking at Lord Wu staring at him, Yang Muyun felt a little uncomfortable all over his body, this Lord Wu wouldn't have any special habits, right? Thinking of this, Yang Muyun couldn't help but stand on end.
"Lord Yang, please take a seat," Wu Wending politely invited him into the chair and sat down, "Lord Yang has been thinking about it all night, I don't know what good ideas there are?" ”
"Master Wu," Yang Muyun frowned slightly, "The subordinate has only joined the military department, and all the official transactions in the government office are very unfamiliar, so you need to mention more!" ”
"Well," Wu Wending didn't have the slightest displeasure on his face, "This is the official business between the various government offices, and you will be familiar with it if you move around more......" said and smiled at him, "Today, Lord Shilang is going to Wang Gong Factory and Armor Factory to check the production progress of ordnance gunpowder, so you can accompany him there!" ”
"Yes, Master Wu." Yang Muyun replied.
Yang Muyun and Hou Lang Lang of the Ministry of War are also old acquaintances, but Hou Shilang has never been interested in him because of his background in Jinyiwei, and after asking him a few words lukewarmly, he allocated him a team of soldiers and asked him to go to Wang Gong Factory, and he led the team to the armor factory.
Wang Gong factory in the southwest of Beijing, opposite Huguo Temple.
When Yang Muyun led the team to Wang Gong Factory, dozens of people with factory stickers and letters were waiting outside the factory gate.
Wang Gongchang's eunuch in charge of the factory was appointed by the emperor, the rank is Zhengwupin, the current factory surname is Deng, the name is Enguang, he heard that the military department squire wants to personally go to Wang Gongchang to inspect, early in the morning with people waiting at the door. Who knew that the waiting left and right was a young outsider, and the boss was unhappy in his heart, and under the pretext that something was wrong, he threw him to his deputy Dachang to stick to Chu Ruxiao.
Yang Muyun didn't care, and followed Chu Ruxiao to inspect around the factory. Wang Gong factory is mainly for the production of gunpowder, large and small craftsmen under the leadership of the craftsman, each performing their duties, the factory is a busy atmosphere.
"Lord Yang, look," Chu Ruxiao pointed to the craftsmen who were working intensively in each workshop, and said: "Since the beginning of the campaign to conquer the south, Deng Changgong has not dared to slack off, leading me to work day and night, and now our factory can produce 2,000 catties of gunpowder every day. ”
"Two thousand catties, it's a lot," Yang Muyun nodded, "Chu factory sticker, such a large production volume, can this quality be guaranteed?" ”
Chu Ruxiao grabbed a handful of gunpowder drying in the open space in the factory, put it on a piece of paper, presented it to Yang Muyun, marked the fire fold and ignited the gunpowder in the paper, with the sound of "snort" white smoke rising, the gunpowder quickly burned out and the paper was still intact.
Chu Ruxiao glanced at Yang Muyun proudly, "Lord Yang, now you can rest assured, for the imperial court, we and the whole factory will not dare to make the slightest mistake, if you don't believe it, you can grab it again." ”
"No, no," Yang Muyun said with a smile: "They are all old craftsmen, how can they not be trusted?" Although Yang Muyun didn't understand the advantages and disadvantages of gunpowder, he saw the demonstration and knew that the extracted samples were undoubtedly high-quality.
"The production of gunpowder is important in the selection of materials," Chu Ruxiao began to talk eloquently, "the fine saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal are selected and refined, and then milled into powder, and the proportional amount is weighed and put into a stone mortar or wooden trough and stirred repeatedly to become fine ......."
Yang Muyun listened with relish, "And then?" ”
"Then mix the three powders in proportion and put them into a wooden mortar, add a little water or shochu......"
"Do you want to add shochu?" Yang Muyun said with interest.
"Yes, my lord," Chu Ruxiao explained, "the soju is mixed to improve the medicinal properties of gunpowder. ”
"Oh?" Yang Muyun smiled, "The craftsman who makes gunpowder must not be a good winemaker. ”
"What do you mean by this?" Chu Ruxiao asked puzzled.
"Chu factory sticker, do you want to," Yang Muyun said with a smile: "If the craftsman is good at wine, he secretly drinks the wine used to make gunpowder, which will be very bad." ”
