The next day, Fan Yu took the notice and the seal, first went to the official department to report, and then went to the Yamen of the Third Division to report.

At the age of fifteen, he became the governor of the Arsenal of Armament Works, which surprised many people. Although the governor is only a fifth-grade official, he has a lot of actual power and has the right to directly report to the official. The identity of Fan Yuhuang's relatives is also there, and no one dares to despise it.

The people below were not easy to receive without authorization, and finally sent Fan Yu to the duty room of the third envoy Cheng Lin.

Fan Yu didn't expect that he had such a big row, and he was invited to the front of the third envoy just to register. This Cheng Lin is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the power in his hands ranks fourth among officials.

The first three are Li Di, the secretary of Tongping Zhangshi, Cai Qi, the governor of the council, and Wang Zeng, the privy envoy. plus Cheng Lin, they are the four giants of the DPRK.

When Cheng Lin saw Fan Yu coming, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Master Hou, now Master Hou is the governor of the province, but he is in the same yamen with me." ”

"The lower officials don't dare." Fan Yu is also wearing an official uniform now, and when he heard Cheng Lin's words, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "I am an official because I am a royal relative, otherwise how could I be appointed as a general judge as soon as I come." Besides, he is still young, and he dare not compare with Cheng Xianggong. ”

"Don't be so modest, this official has also heard Bao Zheng say something about you." Cheng Lin said with a smile: "He said that you are good at making mechanisms, and the self-made hydraulic press can be forged into iron pots, and Nissan 100 pots is not a problem." If it is used to make armor, it can double the production of armor. If such a militaristic weapon cannot be used in our Great Song Dynasty weapon, it will not be a pearl covered with dust. Although the Hou Ye is young, he is also a royal prince, and he has his own ability. The position of this general judge is also worthy of the name. ”

Fan Yu waved his hand again and again, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just a fluke." ”

He knew that at this time, others were exalting him to give him face. If you brag about yourself, you will be shameless.

If you come up and say that making this hydraulic press by yourself is just a piece of cake, and when Lao Tzu makes the musket artillery, it will be called a cow fork. I'm afraid that if the other party doesn't believe it or say it, maybe he will be branded as frivolous.

The more humble Fan Yu was, the more Cheng Lin felt that this An Lehou was sensible. Although he is young, he seems to be mature and polite. If you cultivate it well, you may be a rare good material among the imperial family in the future.

"Master Hou, don't be too humble, your intention, this official probably understands a little. Presumably it is the first time to perform his duties, and I don't know who is subordinate to the superior in this general judgment position, and who is in charge below. Cheng Lin laughed and said: "The general judgment was originally responsible for the supervision of the local prefect, but here in the Ordnance Factory, there is no chief official, and they are all the supervisors of each workshop. Therefore, you, the governor, have the greatest power to pass judgments. As for your superiors, because of their duty of supervision, they can report anything to their own officials, or to the officials' families. Although the Third Division still has the Salt and Iron Envoy and the Salt and Iron Judge, it has nothing to do with you. ”

After listening to Cheng Lin's explanation, Fan Yu realized that his position as a general judge was airborne. Different from the fixed officials of the three divisions, he is more responsible for supervision and small reports. Of course, he also has the right to make suggestions, as long as the Ordnance Institute is obedient, he can also have the final say in this area.

This is quite good, Fan Yu is very satisfied with this official position. Usually, you just need to point fingers, and you don't have to bear the main responsibility. Of course, Fan Yu did not mean to evade responsibility, but felt that no one could point fingers at him and make it easier for him to act.

"So, the lower officials can act cheaply?" Fan Yu asked.

Cheng Lin nodded and said to him: "The Third Division Yamen has prepared a duty room for you, and from today Fan Tong's judgment can be regarded as a point." If you want to visit each workshop, you can decide what to do. ”

Fan Yu hugged his fist at Cheng Lin and said: "Xiaguan Xie is fair, but I have just arrived in Bianliang now, but I still don't know how to move this courtyard." If the three divisions have the addresses of each workshop, please give me a copy. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Cheng Lin waved his hand and said to Fan Yu: "There is an address, but I'm afraid that you will have to spend time and effort to find it." Why don't I arrange someone for you and let him take you around the workshops? ”

When Fan Yu first arrived at the Sansi Yamen, Cheng Lin also called him Hou Ye. After Fan Yu claimed to be an official, Cheng Lin was also commensurate with his official position or you and me. This is the politeness, and it naturally enters the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

"In this way, the lower officials will thank Cheng Xianggong." Fan Yu thanked him.

"Someone, call Zhang Tangqing, who will be the prisoner." Cheng Lin ordered.

A moment later, a young man in his early twenties came to the third envoy's room.

He bowed to Cheng Lin and said, "The lower official Zhang Tangqing saw that the process was fair, and he didn't know what was going on?" ”

Cheng Lin smiled and said, "Let me introduce to you, this is the new governor of the Ordnance Manufacturing Institute, An Le Hou Fan Yu." Zhang Tangqing is the top champion in this year's Enkedian test, and is now training in the three divisions. Zhang Tangqing, I called you here to ask you to take Fan Tongju to various workshops to have a look. You are all young people, and more contact is enough. ”

Fan Yu couldn't help but open his mouth wide, this Cheng Xianggong also had a heart, and he called a random leader to lead the way, and they were all new champions.

Surprised to surprised, Fan Yu and Zhang Tangqing bowed to each other at the same time and said, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

"This official still has official business, so you can go now." Cheng Lin nodded, then waved his hand to the two.

"Yes" The two responded, and at the same time exited Cheng Lin's room.

After Zhang Tangqing came out, he first bowed his hand to Fan Yu and said, "Master Fan, not far in front of you is your duty room, do you want to take a look?" ”

Fan Yu said with a smile: "When I first arrived, there was Lao Zhuangyuangong. ”

Zhang Tangqing led the way in front, and the two went to Fan Yu's duty room.

This place is really close to Cheng Lin's duty room, only separated by a room of the deputy envoy of the third division, which is Fan Yu's duty room. It can be seen that Cheng Lin, the third envoy, still attaches great importance to Fan Yu. It wasn't because he was young that he arranged it very casually.

The two of them came out of the Sansi Yamen after seeing Fan Yu's duty room.

Fan Yu looked at the streets of Bianliang in all directions, and couldn't help but worry, "As far as I know, there is more than one workshop in this armor factory. ”

Zhang Tangqing said with a smile: "That's true, I just don't know which workshop Fan Houye wants to see first." ”

"The Ordnance Institute is just a general term. In fact, there are also different workshops below, such as the East and West Workshop, the East and West Guangbei, the Wanquan Workshop, the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard, the Bow and Crossbow Yard, and the Horse Chopping Workshop. Among them, there are more than 7,000 craftsmen in the East and West Workshops, and about 4,000 craftsmen in the Wanquan Workshop. Combined, the number has exceeded 10,000. Zhang Tangqing said like a few treasures.

Fan Yu listened to the big head, but he didn't expect that there were so many people in the Great Song Dynasty's weapons workshop, which was huge in this era, which made him a little unsure of how to start.

But Fan Yu only pondered for a moment, and suddenly he had an idea and knew where to go.
