This person is the Ordnance Department Ordnance Order Kong Yiji, with an annual salary of 400 stones, copper seal and white ribbon, logically speaking, the head of an ordnance department, at least a thousand years old, silver seal and green ribbon is, but unfortunately the hierarchy of this era does not agree, soldiers, soldiers, farmers, workers, merchants, merchants are the lowest status, followed by craftsmen and other craftsmen.

Although the Ordnance Department is to create weapons for the country, it still can't get rid of the identity of a craftsman, so the status of Yuluhe is the lowest level in the court.

"Lone is just here to come and see, but he's not here to punish the crime, Aiqing doesn't have to be like this!" Wei Ya patted Kong Yiji on the shoulder, smiling, and speaking softly, giving people a sense of approachability.

Kong Yiji was stunned and glanced at the shoulder that had been patted by Wei Li just now, and in an instant, his eyes were sour, and tears flowed down uncontrollably, feeling a great honor, and then quickly wiped his tears with the placket of his clothes, took a step back gently, and made a gesture of please: "Your Majesty, please!" ”

Wei Ya nodded, walked in lightly, as soon as he entered the Ordnance Division, Wei Li's brows suddenly wrinkled, not because the craftsmen did not work hard, but because they were too small and there were few people, and the entire Ordnance Division counted Kong Yiji was only eight people, Kong Yiji was also a craftsman, so the entire Ordnance Division, the Wei State Ordnance Division, was only eight craftsmen!

"Why are there so few people?" Wei Ya turned his head slightly, frowned and asked Kong Yiji.

When Kong Yiji heard this, his expression showed an unbearable expression of the past, and he bent down to reply; "King Qiqi, there were originally thirty-one craftsmen in the Ordnance Division, but the Ordnance Department has not built weapons for three years, and the imperial court has not subsidized the Ordnance Department for half a bucket.

"And your?" Wei Li asked subconsciously, but as soon as he exited, Wei Li scolded himself in his heart, he deserved it, why did he ask this.

No matter how Wei Li thinks, he feels that his sentence has a kind of moral kidnapping, which means, as an ordnance order, why don't you take out Yulu to maintain the operation of the Ordnance Division.

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to lie to you, Weichen hasn't paid for three years, if it weren't for a few pieces of land at home, he would have starved to death!" Kong Yiji smiled bitterly, which made people feel distressed.

"What? Haven't sent it for three years? Wei Li exclaimed, he never expected that he would subconsciously ask and ask this!

Ridiculous, simply ridiculous, such an important department of the Ordnance Division, the original hundred officials and monarchs, actually ignored it so much, and didn't even send the most basic money, Wei Li secretly scolded his cheap dad in his heart.

Kong Yiji smiled bitterly and did not speak.

"It's Lone's negligence, I never knew that the Ordnance Division, as a state department, would fall into such a field!" Wei Li sighed and decided to compensate the Ordnance Department well, and then ordered Si Zhong: "Si Zhong, send an order to govern Su Nei Shi Heqiu, and order him to extract 30,000 stone of grain from the treasury and send it to the Ordnance Department!" ”

"No!" Si Zhong glanced at Wei Li, then responded, and then left with two Qianniu Guards.

"Your Majesty. . . 30,000 stones? Kong Yiji stretched out his trembling three fingers, with a look of disbelief, and his tone was swallowed!

"That's right, 30,000 stones, now the treasury has enough food, 30,000 stones, but only one-tenth, these 30,000 stones, in addition to paying you three years, you also have to send the seven craftsmen left behind, and from now on, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Department are also members of the imperial court, eat the king's grain!" Wei Ya pointed to the seven craftsmen who were making farm tools with a straight face.

Kong Yiji's mouth opened slightly, his face was shocked and excited, and he immediately knelt on the ground, crying with old tears; "Divine grace of the king, holy grace of the king!"

The seven craftsmen who were doing the work all heard Wei Ya's words, and when they learned that they and the others also had a fortune and ate the king's grain, their hearts were suddenly filled with excitement and excitement, and they also knelt on the ground with Kong Yiji, and shouted with a thick excitement: "Thank you for the holy grace of the king!" ”

"Seven people are still too few, this place is too small, Kong Yiji obeys the order!" Wei Li snorted lightly!

"Wechen is here!" The excited Kong Yiji responded.

"Lone gives you a month, expand this place tenfold, the number of craftsmen, must reach a hundred, the craftsman's salary is set at three stones a month, remember, do not indiscriminately fill the number, those whose skills are not up to standard, must not be hired, Lone as long as the craftsman is a skilled craftsman, because the higher the skill of your craftsman, the higher the quality of the weapon, the army can dominate the world, your responsibility is heavy!" Wei Ya said seriously.

"Weichen takes the order!" Kong Yiji responded excitedly.

It's easy to find skilled craftsmen, of course, the premise is that there is enough treatment, such as Wei Yakai's treatment, three stones in a month, enough to make countless craftsmen flock to it, three stones, not three buckets, only a family of six, one person working in the Ordnance Division, can keep the family two months without worrying about food and clothing!

The seven craftsmen were excited again, three stones of grain, if they received it, their fathers, mothers, wives and children would never say that they were doing a menial job!

"Well, do you have any copper here?" Wei Li nodded and asked again.

"Yes!" Kong Yiji immediately responded, but then showed a look of doubt, the king asked what is this for?

"That's good, you guys in front of Lone, one person to build a copper Ge, Lone wants to see for yourself, how powerful your craftsman skills are, but the ugly words are ahead, although Lone doesn't know how to forge, but good or not, Lone can still see it, once one of you builds it badly, Lone will immediately expel the Ordnance Division, Lone will not raise idlers, let alone waste!" Wei Li's expression was solemn, and his tone was majestic.

"Understood!" Kong Yiji answered without hesitation, and said to the seven craftsmen: "You guys quickly do what the king wants!" ”

"No!" The seven craftsmen nodded in response, and began to forge the bronze ge, not flustered at all, but a little nervous, after all, the king of a country, in their eyes, like a god-like figure was looking at them.

The copper they took was the bronze that had been condensed, oval-shaped, about the size of two adult palms, and after taking the bronze, they put it in the fire and baked it, and when it was baked to a fiery red, and the hardness of the bronze decreased, they took it out and beat it with a copper hammer, beat it five or six times, and baked it again, and then beat it again, and over time, a model of Ge was beaten out.

After the model of Ge came out, it was polished with stone, and finally with special tools, the blood groove was carved, and the blade was cut, and finally a sharp copper Ge was made.
