On the tenth day of the fifth month, the craftsmen lived in a more orderly manner than the one ten days ago. Sleeping more in the morning is indispensable, but when you get up, you have done a lot of work outside the home, especially to determine the date of rest, and a lot of time can be arranged more reasonably.

Early the next morning, the craftsmen, who had recovered from a day's rest, returned to work, and the production of the armory workshop continued to stride towards its goal at a rate of 18 spears per day and a few pointed wooden guns.

Time flies, May of the third year of Longwu passed quickly, and the date of Zheng Chenggong's dispatch of troops was getting closer and closer, but the armory workshop was still methodically transporting weapons to the army. In the month that Chen Kai took over, the vacancies of the Left Pioneer Town, the Right Pioneer Town, and the Left Protection Town have all been filled, and the rest is nothing more than the Right Guard Town and Louchuan Town.

A large number of weapons were constantly transported from the arsenal to the arsenal, and then distributed from the arsenal to the army, Chen Kai's ability is obvious to all, including Zhongding Bolin Xishan and Zhongkuangbo Zhang Jin when they met in the general town mansion, they all praised him. As for Hong Xu, according to Zheng Chenggong, he also expressed his affirmation of his talents, and did not mind Yu Er's matter.

Chen Kai has created a miracle, and the miracle is still strengthening the strength of this army, which is something that everyone in the army is happy to see. Because of this, the system of the first day of rest has been affirmed, and the system of continuous bowls is also being discussed, but because Zheng Chenggong's family background is too thin, the grain and grass reserves are really limited, and for the time being, only in the arsenal workshop does so, but Chen Kai has begun to affect this young army.

On the first day of the sixth month, since last month was 29 days, this is another day off. The craftsmen were not here, and some of them were still arranged by Chen Kai, and the overseers supervised the work of the handymen, but this time it was no longer to drain the stagnant water, but to repair the roofs of the blacksmith shops and carpenter's sheds in the factory area, so as not to leak when the next rain came.

He was busy here, and Chen Kai was thinking about some other things in his office. Now there is hope that the tasks in hand will be completed, but there are still many things that he needs to continue to do, and where to start and where to start this need to be considered clearly.

Similar to today's daze, Chen Kai has not known how many times. The stewards of the armory workshop knew that their boss always had a whimsical idea, and even out of the courtesy of the upper and lower classes, they would never dare to bother rashly. However, today was different from the past, and before lunch, Ke Chenmei hurriedly knocked on the door and came in.

"Joined the army, the people from the arsenal came, saying that there were batches of damaged weapons that needed to be repaired in our workshop."

It is not unprecedented, and there are always more than a dozen weapons damaged during training, most of which are faults such as broken guns, but they are not so difficult to repair. It's just that this time, Ke Chenmei looked a little anxious, I'm afraid that things won't be so simple.

"Brother Ke, you still need to be calm in case of trouble."

"The lesson of joining the army is that you have been taught in a humble position."

Ke Chenmei said that she was taught, but there was no shortage of anxiety in her expression. Seeing this, Chen Kai walked out with him, and when they came to the gate of the arsenal, they saw a large cart of spears, either broken or broken guns, and even worse, only one gun was left, but the head of the gun was missing.

"Steward Qiu, what's the matter, this is the Tartar soldiers killed on Nanao Island?"

In battlefield fighting, the loss of weapons is greater than that of training, which is a normal thing. As soon as Chen Kai's ridicule came out, the steward of the arsenal was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he replied with embarrassment: "No, no, it's just that the towns have been practicing a little fiercely recently, so ......"

This steward is not the main hall of the arsenal, whether it is a deputy. Since the task was expected to be completed, the main hall on the arsenal side approached him again and again, but this time there was a deputy, and with such a look, Chen Kai immediately understood what was going on.

"Oh, it's training attrition. Then I would like to ask Steward Qiu, which town is so hardworking? ”

"This ......" The steward wiped his sweat and hesitated for a moment before pleading with Chen Kai in a low voice: "Chen joins the army, the villain is a steward, I really dare not say much about such things, and please join the army not to embarrass the villain." ”

The meaning of the steward is very clear, he is a small person, and he does not dare to get involved in the affairs between Chen Kai and these "big shots". However, Chen Kai snorted coldly at this, and then smiled: "Embarrassed? Didn't you? This official is in charge of a small arsenal workshop, how dare he embarrass the people of the arsenal. No, these weapons were not sent by the towns, and they were damaged in the arsenal, otherwise why talk about embarrassment? ”

This job itself is the main hall of the arsenal that he does not want to touch, and he does not dare to disobey the orders of his superiors, so he has to come over hard. At this moment, Chen Kai made it clear that he was chewing words and arguing with strong words, but the steward was just a clerk, and in the face of Chen Kai, who could speak in front of Zheng Chenggong, and even lived in the head of the town to join the army, how could he dare to make a mistake in front of Chen Kai.

"Chen joins the army, this is really not the damage of the arsenal, the villain is absolutely false."

The steward was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, since this was the case, Chen Kai also put on an empathetic smile and asked him: "In this way, you can tell the official which town sent these damaged weapons, and there will be no business for you, and the official will promise not to tell others that you told me, what?" ”

However, Chen Kai's empathy is not something that the steward can bear, the nature of this problem is very serious, whether to say it or not on the way, he has already thought about it many times while scolding his boss, and he originally thought about it, but after being squeezed by Chen Kai for a few words, seeing Chen Kai's expression and momentum, there is a big meaning that if he doesn't mention it, he will simply cover the black pot on him, and his heart has to be shaken.

"This, this ......"

"Hey, don't do this, that, that, the longer you stay at this gate, the more conspicuous it becomes. Besides, do you think the official doesn't know, it's just that he wants to borrow your mouth to see if the official's guess is correct. ”

Chen Kai followed the temptation, the steward wiped his sweat, swallowed his saliva, and only then did he suppress his voice like a mosquito calling, and only then did he say the answer that Chen Kai wanted to figure out.

"Chen joined the army, these are indeed sent by various towns. That is, it is the right pioneer town that sent more than usual. ”

"How much?"

"34 pieces."

The note was signed, and the damaged weapon was sent to the workshop's warehouse to be repaired. The total number of damaged weapons was 38, of which 34 were in Right Pioneer Town alone. The sudden destruction of 7% of the weapons by a force of 500 men is self-evident.

"Zhongjing Bo Chen Hui, hum."
