The carriage was very dull, and Kang Dahe's expression flashed hesitation from time to time, which made Luo Xinxin feel very bad. Thinking of Kang Dahe's kindness to himself yesterday and the experience of being an official without concealment, he sighed in his heart:

"My lord, now that the lower officials and the lower officials are both officials in the Ministry of Industry, they should support each other, if the adults have any difficulties, and the lower officials can help, they should do their best."

After hearing Luo Xin's words, Kang Dahe sighed and said, "No, you don't know the situation of the Ministry of Industry now." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

"No, I don't know if you know the situation of Da Ming today. His Majesty cultivates all day long, does not go to the court, and ignores the government. His Majesty's cultivation cost a lot of money, and every year the amount of money allocated to the Ministry of Works became less and less. The status of the artisan was low, and the monthly salary was not enough to support his family. Therefore, in the past two hundred years, many craftsmen have fled. There are fewer and fewer skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Works.

Fortunately, before His Majesty succeeded to the throne, there were not many wars in the Ming Dynasty, and there were not many weapons needed, although the number of craftsmen was a lot less, but they could slowly make military weapons. However, since His Majesty succeeded to the throne, there were Alatan Khan in the north and the Wako in the southeast, and the required weapons were suddenly larger. But fortunately, the Ministry of Industry has some inventory, so there has been no problem.

However, this time the war in the north broke out suddenly, and His Majesty immediately asked the Ministry of Industry to come up with 50,000 strong bows and 1,000 ballistas, which could not be made in a short period of time. ”

"There are no weapons in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry?" Luo Xin's heart jumped. His face also became solemn.

"Yes!" Kang Dahe nodded.

Luo Xin's heart was relieved, but then Kang Dahe's words made Luo Xin's jaw almost fall in shock.

"There are 12,000 strong bows and 100 ballistae in stock." Seeing Luo Xin's surprised appearance, Kang Dahe hurriedly said:

"However, these days, our Ministry of Industry has already produced 8,000 strong bows and 150 ballistas. But...... But ......"

Speaking of this, Kang Dahe sighed again and said, "However, if you want to complete the task of 50,000 strong bows and 1,000 ballistas assigned by Your Majesty, it is simply impossible to complete it without a month. His Majesty gave a hard order, and in the next ten days, 50,000 strong bows and 1,000 crossbows must be completed. ”

After the words fell, Kang Dahe stared at Luo Xin tightly, Luo Xin really wanted to tell Kang Dahe that he came to the Ordnance Prison to make thunderbolts, and as for the strong bow and ballista or something, it has nothing to do with you. However, seeing Kang Dahe's extremely worried appearance, I couldn't bear it. And he also knew that once he helped Kang Dahe, Kang Dahe owed himself a favor, and Luo Xin was currently in urgent need of allies in the court. This is an opportunity for Luo Xin, you must know that the Ministry of Industry is also a member of the second grade. Once he befriended him, it helped Luo Xin a lot in the court.

But......

How can you help?

Luo Xin frowned, lowered his head slightly and pondered. Kang Dahe, who was on the other side, saw Luo Xin silent, his heart sank, he thought that Luo Xin didn't want to help him, and his heart panicked for a while, hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said:

"No, Your Majesty values you and trusts you. The old man wants to ask him to talk to His Majesty about the difficulties of the Ministry of Works, can you let Your Majesty give him a few days? ”

Luo Xin raised his head suddenly, and then his face showed an expression of crying and laughing. Is this something he can say to Emperor Jiajing?

Besides......

If the weapons here are delayed for one more day, the northern front does not know how many more people will die. Is this responsibility that Luo Xin's current small shoulders can afford? If Luo Xin really dared to make a statement to Emperor Jiajing and let Emperor Jiajing give him a few days, I am afraid that Emperor Jiajing would immediately be angry and put Luo Xin in the cold palace and not hire him again.

Luo Xin shook his head slightly, and Kang Dahe's face showed a look of disappointment and frustration. But he didn't show the color of blaming Luo Xin, but his face was helpless. Frustrated, he said:

"No, it's hard for you. This matter is not said by the old man. ”

Luo Xin shook his head lightly again and said, "My lord, the northern front line is tight, and the sooner the weapons are sent to the front line, the better." At this time, any idea of delaying time should let His Majesty know that he can only get His Majesty's Thunderous Fury. ”

Kang Dahe's face turned pale, and finally he sighed and said, "The old man's official is the end." ”

Luo Xin said softly: "My lord, let's go and arrange the thunderbolt matter today, and then the next official will think of a way." ”

Kang Dahe's eyes lit up: "No, do you have a way?" ”

Luo Xin nodded and said, "I have a little idea, but I still have to go to the Ordnance Department to take a look." ”

Although Kang Dahe was anxious, he closed his mouth when he saw that Luo Xin no longer wanted to say. Luo Xin frowned slightly and thought about it, seeing Luo Xin's appearance, Kang Dahe knew that this was Luo Xin trying to figure out a way. He still has some expectations for Luo Xin, after all, Luo Xin has invented powerful firearms, which are all military weapons, since Luo Xin can invent this kind of sharp weapon, maybe Luo Xin will come up with some methods.

What is Luo Xin thinking?

He thought of the assembly line, and he felt in his heart that there should be no assembly line in this era, it must be a craftsman making a bow from beginning to end, and if a bow is split into several parts, the speed must be able to increase too much. It's just that he hasn't seen the Ordnance Division yet, so Luo Xin didn't say his own way.

Finally arrived at the Ordnance Division, and entered the heavy gate, inside was a huge courtyard, at this time it was full of people, and there were busy craftsmen everywhere.

From this moment on, everything here is in charge of Luo Xin.

Standing in front of Luo Xin and Kang Dahe at this time was a group of officials from the Ordnance Division, led by a tall and thin man with a flattering smile on his face.

"Xiaguan meets Master Kang!"

Kang Da and Meiyu locked between him and said anxiously: "Lord Jiang, this official came today to introduce to you the newly appointed ordnance supervisor of the imperial court, Lord Luo Xinluo, the new champion, Lord Luo will be your official in the future, why don't you come to visit?" ”

The standard flattering smile immediately appeared on Master Jiang's face, and he bowed to Luo Xin and said:

"Xiaguan has heard the name of Lord Luo for a long time, and Xiaguan can do things under Lord Luo, and he is fortunate to have three lives."

Luo Xin nodded, not disgusted or happy at his flattery, and said calmly:

"This official is new here, and I will need more help from Master Jiang in the future."

"It should be, it should be." Master Jiang nodded hurriedly, his face full of flattery.

Kang Dahe on the side said sternly: "Lord Jiang, you know that this is an extraordinary time, and you must not disobey Lord Luo's orders in the slightest, otherwise you will ask, do you understand?" ”
