The ordnance supervisor of Xiangyang City naturally cannot be the ordnance supervisor of Lin'an City, it is said that it is the ordnance superintendent, except for making simple ordnance with large consumption such as crossbow arrows and repairing the armor, but it does not have the function of casting large-scale ordnance.

It's not that the craftsmen in the Jinghu Theater didn't have the ability to cast ordnance, it's just that all the ordnance in the Great Song Dynasty was basically cast by the weapons under the Ministry of Industry and then distributed to the ministries. Although this arrangement is a bit cumbersome and even inefficient, it is also a way to do it. After all, in the era of cold weapons, simple weapons such as knives and arrows did not have much technical content, and craftsmen with better craftsmanship could basically create them, but the quality may not be comparable to those cast by weapons.

Because of this, all dynasties have strict restrictions on the casting of weapons, even including iron casting. In addition to the fact that the imperial court can cast ordnance for military use, the ground and the people must not cast ordnance privately, and once it is discovered, it is a big crime to conspire against the nine clans.

Of course, there are some changes in wartime today. Therefore, a large number of craftsmen have been arranged in various war zones of the Ministry of Industry Ordnance, and in addition to repairing the daily wear and tear of weapons, these craftsmen must also cast ordnance to supplement military supplies at critical times.

The ambassador of the army and the hottest young magnate of the dynasty did not even enter the camp when he arrived in Xiangyang City, but went directly to the ordnance superintendent, which naturally made the craftsmen of the ordnance superintendent a little frightened while being flattered.

Because the imperial court does not allow all war zones to cast weapons privately, although that is only a regulation on the surface, everyone knows what the situation is in private now. But if Jia Rudao, the ambassador of the army, really wants to grasp this point, it is really very likely that a large number of people will fall to the ground.

Therefore, Jia Rudao had just arrived outside the ordnance prison, and Cheng Wangtong, the ordnance supervisor of Xiangyang City, who had received the news, hurriedly led two deputies out without even having time to change his clothes.

"Next...... Cheng Wangtong, the commander of the Xiangyang Ordnance Supervisor, greeted the ambassador and asked for your forgiveness. ”

Wang Tong couldn't figure out Jia Nidao's intentions, and he was really nervous in his heart when he faced a young and powerful man like Jia Nidao.

Being young means being difficult. If you can't get it right, you offend this adult, it's still a trivial matter if the black yarn is gone, and your head will fall off if you can't get it.

"Hehe, Lord Wang, please get up."

Looking at Wang Tong, who was sincerely afraid, Jia Rudao said with a smile with his eyes narrowed slightly. Wang Tong and the two officials behind him who should also be the ordnance supervisor were not wearing official uniforms, but "cropped pants" with short legs, and the traces of smoke and fire on the messy clothes were very obvious, obviously the three officials of the ordnance supervisor were busy casting weapons just now?

The supervisor of the Ordnance Prison is indeed a petty official, but being able to lead by example like this also makes Jia Yidao's impression of the three of them a lot better.

Jia Rudao's attitude made Wang Tong and the others, who were still a little apprehensive and frightened, suddenly feel relieved, and their faces became more respectful. Looking at the smiling appearance of this young magnate, it shouldn't be that he is looking for trouble. Since you're not here to find trouble, then ...... As soon as this lord arrived in Xiangyang City, he immediately rushed to this ordnance supervisor for what?

"This official wants to take a look in the armory prison, I wonder if the three adults are willing to lead the way for this officer?"

"Ah...... Adults here, please! ”

When Wang Tong heard Jia Yidao's words, he suddenly panicked in his heart. However, Jia Rudao's words had already been spoken, and looking at the forbidden guards who followed behind this adult, Wang informed Lu Dao that even if he objected, it would have no effect, but would make this adult unhappy, so he had to bow down and answer.

Entering the weapons prison, the scene as far as the eye could see made Jia Yidao's eyes condense slightly.

In a row of low brick sheds, the fire is vigorous, and countless unkempt, black, shirtless craftsmen are sweating like rain; On the huge open space, mountains of various materials, arrows, and semi-finished products are placed in the courtyard of the field. The sound of iron, arguments, burnt smells, and the smell of sweat are mixed together and come to the face.

The sudden influx of a large number of brightly dressed people suddenly made the ordnance prison feel calm. Countless suspicious eyes instantly gathered on Jia Rudao.

The leaders of the three weapons supervisors bowed down on their knees and led the way in front with a frightened expression, and there was Meng Shuai's brother Meng Ying behind them, plus those fierce soldiers who were obviously not the uniforms of the Jinghu Army, everyone knew that this young man in a cyan Confucian shirt and smiling was the protagonist of this group.

This...... Who is it? You're too young, right?

"Ahem...... What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and meet the ambassador of the Sacrifice Army, Master Jia, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu. ”

It turns out that this is the ambassador of the army who has been rumored these days, the most popular person in front of the emperor, and the young uncle.

It's so young, isn't it? A group of craftsmen who couldn't see their faces sighed in unison in their hearts. Immediately, the surprise in Jia Yidao's eyes was even more.

occupies a high position at a young age, and is naturally a high-minded and arrogant person. A person of such a noble status as Lord Jia still has a lot of good days to live, and at this time, he must have a plan to come to Xiangyang City regardless of his safety. Everyone knows that even if Meng Shuai is present in this Xiangyang City, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend it.

In today's Xiangyang City, it is difficult to have military merits, and there is no political merit. The only thing you can get is a little fame, isn't that what readers value the most? Alas, it seems that it is also a vase, there is such a big man in Xiangyang City, and the most feared thing is that ordinary people will suffer.

The craftsmen had different thoughts, and no one came to see them for a while.

"Bold ......" Zhao Yi, who was standing behind Jia Nidao, saw that no one moved for a long time, but looked at Jia Nidao coldly, and immediately scolded loudly. However, as soon as the words came out, he was interrupted by Jia Rudao waving his hand.

"My lord, these craftsmen must have been shocked by the heroism of adults......

"Ha Luha, General Meng doesn't need to wear a top hat for this officer, this official knows it. The matter ...... Let me say a few words. When Jia Rudao heard Meng Ying say that these craftsmen were shocked by his heroic appearance, he suddenly interrupted him with a smile.

He naturally knew that Meng Ying was worried that he would be angry with these craftsmen's rude behavior and bring death to these craftsmen.

Meng Ying didn't dare to speak anymore, Wang Tong and the others were already frightened, and they wiped the sweat on their heads.

"If you want to come to this official, you all know the identity of the official. I won't say much nonsense, this official is not here today to ask for trouble, but there are some things that you need to make. These are two drawings, Lord Wang, you take them down and show them to the craftsmen, how long it will take to make what the official wants. ”
