Chapter 379: The Listener Has a Heart

"That's a lot? My salary is medium at best! Blacksmith Hu thought for a moment and muttered.

"Not bad, not bad! You're a good little brother. Li Youfu praised.

"Hey, Master, I respect you!" Blacksmith Hu raised the wine bowl and saluted.

"Blacksmith Hu, you're a local, aren't you?" After Li Youfu put down his wine glass, he asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's a local. I am the female aunt of the Fushan garrison of a thousand households. “

"Then you're from a military family?"

"Yes! It's not that I have many brothers and sisters in my family, so my father let me learn blacksmithing. Hey, I used to follow the master, and I could mix a half-full meal. After arriving at the front of this floating mountain, I began to have wages. Blacksmith Hu put down the wine glass in his hand and recalled.

"That's not easy! Little brother, you're very good. Li Youfu praised.

"Master, where are you from? I hear your accent a bit like Liaodong's. Blacksmith Hu also asked about Li Youfu.

"You're right, I'm from Liaodong. I am a monk of Weininghai Temple in Haizhou, and after this Manchu Tartar rebellion, I escaped from the sea. ”

"Oh. These damn dogs are full of Tartars! Master, don't they even spare you monks? Blacksmith Hu asked curiously.

According to the understanding of ordinary people, this monk does not ask about the world and has no quarrel with the world, and all forces will not be embarrassed.

"Hey! Although the monks don't care about the world, the old man really can't get used to the countless killings! When the time comes, the world will be unified, so that these disasters can be avoided. Li Youfu sighed.

"Yes! It can only be seen when our general will send troops to fight Liaodong. Maybe the guns aren't enough. Blacksmith Hu comforted himself.

"Hehe......" Li Youfu smiled slightly embarrassed, and then picked up the wine bowl and beckoned the little blacksmith to drink.

The two continued to brag while drinking and eating. Li Youfu intentionally or unintentionally began to spy on the situation in these workshops in Fushan Bay.

After some understanding, he found that these workshops were like steel fortresses, and outsiders could not get into them. Even if he found an excuse to go in, after several rounds of body searches and inspections, he couldn't do anything with his bare hands.

Even if a master like him Li Youfu enters, he will kill a few foremen or workers at most, and it will not have any impact on the overall situation. As for the destruction of machinery and equipment, it is even more impossible and meaningless.

Because I heard this blacksmith say that every day after work, managers at all levels will count the number of people one by one. After the number of people is full, the door can be opened to work. After the workers are relieved, two teams of soldiers will conduct a search in each workshop to ensure that no one is left.

As for why it makes no sense, because these machines and equipment are all made by people in Fushanwan, what role can you play if you smash one or two?

Li Youfu felt that except for giving away his life in vain, there was almost no effect.

It seems that it is close to this blacksmith set, although it costs a little money. But the information heard is not all useless. At least let Li Youfu understand that there are many things that cannot be done or done.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Youfu felt that it was most appropriate to poach some craftsmen. As long as these gun-making craftsmen can be brought to Liaodong, these sharp firearms in Dengzhou can also be made in Shenyang.

Of course, this is just his self-imaginary self-assumption of a minion who does not understand industrial production. With the current process in the Fushan Bay Workshop, even if it takes away ten or eight craftsmen, it is actually useless.

Because even if the "Type 28 rifle" and mortars were made, if it were not for the steel made by the open-hearth steelmaking method, these guns would be useless.

As for the fixed ammunition and primer fired from the rear load, for the craftsmen and technicians of this era, they have long surpassed their thinking.

However, Li Youfu couldn't understand this. According to his imagination, it seemed possible to instigate some craftsmen to flee with him. As long as he has enough money, he believes that there will still be greedy people who see money.

And it's easier to take people away than to take samples of guns with you. Only the good people who plotted against him, and when the time came, he slipped away overnight, and he was too late to chase after the Dengzhou army.

As for saying that these people have a good salary in Dengzhou, their families are all here. Li Youfu feels that as long as there are good profits, there must still be people who will be tempted.

Before entering the customs and coming to Fushan Bay, Hei Zi (Huang Taiji) secretly summoned Li Yongfang, the leader of the spy who specialized in rebellion and persuasion, and the three of them.

The black child promised them that no matter how much silver he spent, tens of thousands of taels or hundreds of thousands of taels, he could finally tell the truth and report it to him. And the black child also granted them a reward of less than a hundred thousand taels of silver, and a position below the rank of Ala-ejin, and they could promise it in advance.

It can be seen that the capital invested by the black child this time is not small. With the generous conditions given by the black boy, Li Youfu believes that he will definitely be able to catch a fish.

When he visited the black child this time, he also personally carried the flag for Li Youfu and the others. The three originally lowly clothed minions stepped into the ranks of the masters overnight. It's a step to the sky.

Just when Li Youfu and Blacksmith Hu were drinking and eating meat and chatting happily, a pair of eyes not far away noticed their side.

"Brother Silly Pillar! Isn't that the blacksmith from your military workshop? The worker glanced at Li Youfu and Hu Blacksmith as he lowered his voice and said to his companions at a table.

"Yes! This dog day blacksmith also robbed Lao Tzu of the position of team leader. The craftsman called the stupid pillar replied angrily.

This guy drinks and eats meat with a monk? What's going on? It shouldn't be! How can a monk drink wine and eat meat? Silly Zhu's heart was full of curiosity.

"Big stick! You eat first, and when I come back, I'll go over and listen to what they're talking about. Damn, you can talk and smile with a monk. Silly Zhu said to his companion.

"It's okay, you can call me when you leave. It's not the same who will account for it! Our brothers, who follows whom! The companion waved his hand and said disapprovingly.

After greeting his companions, Silly Zhu pretended to be looking for someone and slowly paced behind Blacksmith Hu. He found a place by the window and stood, posing as if he was waiting for someone, and his eyes only searched out the window.

However, his ears were preoccupied with the blacksmith's table. He wanted to hear what the blacksmith was saying. If there is any leakage of secrets and insults to his superiors, then he can run to the steward above tomorrow and beat his little report.

Or the speaker has no intention of listening, and the stupid pillar who is looking for the ballast soon hears that something is wrong.

The monk spoke with a Liaodong accent and inquired about the guns in the workshop. , this isn't a spy, who's still a spy?

Silly Zhu was secretly happy in his heart: As long as this blacksmith is brought down, who else will be the leader of the group?
