Section 238 Inspection of the War Bureau

The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Haoming, who had not slept much, was still in good spirits, and the first thing he did was to instruct his personal guards to rush to Linpu and summon Zhang Yun and Lu Xinrong to lead people to Dengzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now that you are paying attention, you have to move quickly. Otherwise, when he leaves office, some things will be inconvenient.

As for today, his purpose is to inspect the War Bureau.

The Xuanfu Town Military Bureau is located in the south of the city, close to the Xuanfu Yamen.

Because it is one of the 24 yamen of internal officials, it is under the dual management of the border town of Xuanfu and the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry.

The Governor personally came, and the ambassador and deputy envoy of the War Bureau led a group of subordinates to greet him respectfully.

"Which of you knows gunpowder proportioning?"

is completely different from the officialdom question that everyone expected, since Lord Qin Du's first question was this, the crowd was silent for a while, and there was no answer.

After a long silence, the voice asked slowly, "Then who understands craftsman assessment?" ”

Still silence and silence.

Wait until Qin Haoming's third question, "Who knows what needs to be paid attention to in weapon maintenance?" ”

When the scene was still silent, Qin Haoming finally couldn't help it, and suddenly shouted angrily:

"I don't know this, I don't know that, what's the use of asking your group of wine bags and rice bags to be in the war bureau? Come on, take all this waste with you! ”

Without waiting for anyone to pounce, the ambassador and eunuch in charge of the War Bureau said with a crying voice: "Governor Qin is angry, the small one will assess the craftsmen!" ”

"Will you test craftsmen?"

"Yes yes yes ......"

The ambassador is a eunuch appointed by the palace war bureau, and at this moment he can't wait to show the most touching smile in the whole world, and his head is even more like a chicken pecking rice, "The small one will assess the craftsman."

These craftsmen are cheap bones and are the most lazy. It's okay to pretend to be sick, as long as the inspection is strict, plus the whip, keep them obedient, and you can produce as many things as you want......"

"This is not what he is asking about this so-called assessment. The emperor asked you to work in the War Bureau, not to let you use a whip as a supervisor.

If you don't even have the slightest knowledge of firearms and weapons, what's the difference between them and other places?

From now on, you all go back to the palace, or else you will blame the governor for not being polite! ”

Qin Haoming shook his head, no longer had any hope for these eunuchs, and led the crowd all the way with a cold face.

The remaining dozen eunuchs looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Generally speaking, although the military bureaus in various places accept the management of the local governor's yamen, because there are still competent units above, and most of them are served by the great eunuchs who are loved by the Son of Heaven, ordinary people will give a little thin noodles.

But the temporary governor was good, and after a few problems, he drove people out indiscriminately, leaving them at a loss.

"Do you want to find Grandpa Gao?"

One of the eunuchs whispered a reminder to the chief and deputy ambassadors.

If they are driven back like this, there will be no good fruit for them to eat when they return to the palace. It can be said that in order to come out to serve as this fat poor, they don't know how much effort they have to expend.

The chief and deputy ambassadors came back to their senses, told them to stay on standby, and hurried to the camp of the town guard.

Qin Haoming took a turn around the Xuanfu Military War Bureau and found that all the places where the great eunuchs lived were renovated to be spacious and bright, but all the places where the craftsmen worked were low and dark.

When they arrived at the residences of the craftsmen who specialized in the research and development of firearms, they all frowned from top to bottom, feeling that the current situation was too much.

There were some tattered quilts on the Chase bed, and there was even an indescribable smell of rancidity.

A small room is actually full of more than 20 people.

"It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to expect any good firearms from the man who lives in this broken house!"

Qin Haoming was annoyed, and picked up the oldest craftsman in the kneeling and told them all to get up.

I have long heard that the treatment of Daming craftsmen is poor, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.

He summoned the eldest craftsman and asked a few questions, but seeing that he was still hesitant and did not dare to answer, he said lightly:

"All the officials in this military bureau have been expelled by this governor, so if you have anything to say, just say it."

Those craftsmen were desperately exploited by the lieutenants on weekdays, even the rations and clothing, and they were already frightened like frightened birds.

Although Qin Haoming was kind to Yan Yuese, and said that the internal officials had been expelled, how could they dare to believe it easily?

The old craftsman hesitated for a long time, and finally his heart turned sideways, and he only held back a sentence.

"Adult, small...... The little ones have been serving for more than half a year, and they can bear the rest, but they can't see their families.

I beg the adults to let the younger ones go on vacation for a few days to reunite with their families. After that, the little ones will do their best to do their best, and they will never dare to be lazy. ”

I have been detained here for more than half a year to work and have not seen my family, what is the difference between this and slave labor!

Qin Haoming took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, turned his head and said to the guards beside him, "Arrest all those eunuchs."

Also, bring the eunuch who is in charge of the supplies among them. ”

After speaking, I walked out of the house, and the air inside was too bad.

With such an environment and such a system, is it strange that good weapons can be made?

"Xiao Wu, call all the craftsmen over."

The Xuanfu Town Military Bureau is divided into knives, guns, swords, halberds, whips, axes, helmets, armor, bows, arrows and other military equipment departments, and there are always more than a dozen craftsmen.

After a while, the guards gathered with people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this governor is not thoughtful, and he does not know the situation here, so everyone suffers."

After speaking, Qin Hao made a salute to more than a dozen people.

"I can't help it, my lord!"

How could these craftsmen ever hear an official speak like this, they were stunned for a moment, and wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but they were stopped by Qin Haoming.

"How did those officials withhold the rice from your bowls, and the governor now wants them to spit it out!

Masters who need to take leave should do so in batches, and the Governor will then register with someone from the Governor's Yamen.

In the future, everyone will be able to go home and reunite with their relatives as long as they complete the quota every month, and if there is an excess of the reward, they will never be unable to see their families for half a year.

If there is any whimsical idea, and the Governor has tried it, he will be rewarded,"

Although he was going to leave soon, after driving those eunuchs away, Qin Haoming believed that Lu Xiangsheng could definitely do this. Therefore, in front of everyone, he still generously promised!

"Thank you Governor Qin, thank you Lord Qin!"

As soon as Qin Haoming's words fell, more than a dozen craftsmen fell to their knees and kowtowed. There were a few old craftsmen with gray hair, and they were even more crying, which was really sad.

Who has treated them as human beings for a long time?

At this time, the guards came over with the eunuch in charge of the supplies.

"Make up the firewood, charcoal, rice, food, bedding, clothes, etc. in the house!"

Qin Haoming glared at him angrily and said coldly.

Unexpectedly, the eunuch knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and said anxiously with tears: "Governor Qin, there are not so many things in the warehouse, and they have long been ...... ...... long ago"
