The predecessor of the Casting Bureau was originally a merger and reorganization of the Southern Suburbs Workshop and the Anxi City Ordnance Division, and if you want to convey orders to the offices of the Casting Bureau in the entire province, you must issue them through the General Bureau located in Anxi City.

No, after the quilt factory conveyed the first decree, Zhou Man did not make any stops, immediately turned the horse's head, and came to the Foundry Bureau non-stop.

I saw Zhou Man rushing straight to the gate of the Casting Bureau, but he was discovered by the patrol soldiers responsible for guarding the security of the Casting Bureau, and he immediately became vigilant.

This team responsible for guarding the Casting Bureau is a squad under the third battalion of the second regiment of the Shenwu Army, with more than ten people. He was ordered to take turns guarding the Foundry Bureau.

After a while, a man and a horse came to the gate, and the galloping horses had to stop, for no other reason, because the gate was set up with a special iron rejection horse made by the Casting Bureau, and behind the rejection were the soldiers with a vigilant face.

"Phew! ~”

Helpless, Zhou Man had no choice but to stop, then held the reins with both hands, rode on the horse, and continued to shake with the horse, and then waited for the horse to stand a little firmer, and said: "I believe in the order of His Royal Highness the King to go to the Casting Bureau, please let me go quickly!" ”

The squad in charge of guarding today, it just so happened that this squad leader knew Zhou Man, and he had seen Zhou Man enter the Casting Bureau several times to do business, and knew that he was a person from the side of His Royal Highness King Xin, so after careful identification, he said to the soldiers who were also in charge of guarding: "Let go!" ”

I saw a soldier laboriously pull the horse open the horizontal horse in front of the door, and then waited for Zhou Man to enter.

However, Zhou Man was about to cross the horse to enter as soon as he lifted the reins, and the soldiers on guard reacted quickly and shouted: "Don't enter on horseback!" Then he jumped in front of the horse and stopped the way.

Because as early as the beginning of the establishment of the Foundry Bureau, Li Zhi stipulated that no vehicles or horses outside the Foundry Bureau were allowed to enter the Foundry Bureau, even if King Thaksin was there in person!

Therefore, Zhou Man wanted to enter on horseback, but the guards were not allowed.

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers immediately became vigilant and began to be on alert.

"I have an order to convey, it's too late to walk, please be accommodating." Zhou Man saw that he was fine, but suddenly jumped out of a person to block the way, and said helplessly, after speaking, he was going to tighten the reins and force in.

Seeing this, several soldiers also wavered a little in their hearts, and they were really afraid that they would delay something important because of this matter and would not be able to afford it, so they turned their eyes to their squad leader.

"No! Since you and I are both serving as military commanders, don't be embarrassed! If something is delayed because of this, I, Qin, am willing to take this responsibility! At this time, the squad leader who was in charge of guarding the Casting Bureau stood up and said with a full sense of anger.

"But... Okay.." Zhou Man wanted to speak and stopped, then shook his head and obediently got off the horse.

He looked at the righteous words on the face of the squad leader who was in charge of guarding the Casting Bureau, coupled with the soldiers who were holding weapons and ready to attack, he really didn't dare to break in rashly, who dared to guarantee that these soldiers would not dare to move their real character.

Helpless, Zhou Man had no choice but to dismount, then handed the horse rope to the squad leader in front of him, and snorted coldly: "It's okay now." After saying that, he went straight to the Casting Bureau.

After Zhou Man left, a soldier cautiously asked, "Squad leader, if we stop him like this, will the army commander blame us?" ”

Qin Cai pursed his lips and laughed at himself: "What's the use of thinking so much, we just have to do our own thing!" Then he sent the soldiers beside him to continue to stand on guard.

......

On the other side, Zhou Man, who walked into the Casting Bureau, went straight to Zhao Jiujiang.

I saw him sitting with a few people, discussing something that Zhou Man didn't understand.

When Zhao Jiujiang saw Zhou Man, he was a little surprised, and immediately knew in his heart that His Royal Highness must be looking for him, but he didn't know him here, so he got up first and said, "Steward Zhou, let's go out and talk." ”

"No, it's out of the way." Zhou Man waved his hand.

Seeing that there was no need to avoid suspicion, Zhao Jiujiang said, "I don't know, Steward Zhou is here, but what does His Highness command?" ”

"Haha, can't I come to Director Zhao?" Zhou Man also joked appropriately, and then remembered the purpose of this trip, so he said again, "I came here this time, and I came here to pass the word..."

Zhao Jiujiang marched, and then waited for the following.

"His Royal Highness ordered him to immediately circulate the offices of the Casting Bureau in all parts of Suxi Province, and ordered him to immediately clean up the place where he is stationed, and do a good job in the reception of refugees, and open porridge sheds to satisfy the hunger of the refugees."

After Zhou Man finished speaking, Zhao Jiujiang was stunned and wondered: "Steward Zhou, where did this refugee come from?" With that, an answer flashed through his mind, but then disappeared again.

"yes, how can there be refugees?" Everyone around echoed the words, all a little puzzled.

Suddenly, Zhao Jiujiang didn't wait for Zhou Man to speak, as if he had lost his soul, he said weakly: "Snow disaster!" How can this be good..."After speaking, Zhao Jiujiang looked decadent, and then said: "This heavy snow has been falling for three days, and I didn't even notice it, or Your Highness Mingjian!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Jiujiang got up and bowed his hand slightly: "Manager Zhou, I'll arrange it first." ”

"Well, go get busy, I'll go back to my life."

After a while, the whole house was finished, and Zhou Man didn't stop at the Casting Bureau, he went straight to the gate, retrieved the horses, got up and left, and even didn't talk to the soldiers on duty during the process of picking up the horses.

"Squad leader, you said that this guy came here in a hurry and went in a hurry, what is it for?" After Zhou Man got up and drove away, a soldier asked.

"Where do I know... Stand your guard! Qin Cai scolded viciously, and after speaking, he also looked at Zhou Man with some curiosity, who had left a long distance and only had a back left.

The return journey was very smooth, and he went straight to the palace, and after tying up the horse, he immediately came to the study to resume his life.

"Your Highness, come here to restore your life!"

"Is it all in place?" Li Zhifu said.

"Ma Desheng of the clothing factory and Zhao Jiujiang of the Foundry Bureau have all been conveyed, please rest assured Your Highness." Zhou Man nodded.

Li Zhi was silent, and then handed over a letter that had been written to Zhou Man, and said, "Order someone to send this letter to the capital overnight and present it to my father!" ”

This letter contains some of his predictions and suggestions for the heavy snowfall, and how to deal with the heavy snow are carefully written in this letterhead, as well as a tentative hope that the household can allocate some food for disaster relief, of course, he is just trying, and he does not have much hope.

After listening, Zhou Man took the letter, then carefully retreated, and then hurriedly sent the letter out through a special channel.

At this moment, the first batch of refugees has already appeared in the city of Anxi.
