Chapter 177 Ma'anshan Ordnance Supervisor

Li Cunhuan said to Duan Ziyao: "I saw some merchants use wooden buckets when buying and selling things, and this is slightly less. In front of the gate of the bazaar, public wooden buckets, wooden liters, and standard weight tools were placed to prevent the people from being exploited by those merchants. And once it is found that there is a shortage of goods sold by a merchant who is short of two catties, he will be severely punished immediately and fined him a few thousand dollars! But be careful not to let those petty officials use this to blackmail. ”

"Yes!" Duan Ziyao hurriedly responded.

Li Cunhuan was escorted by a group of people and came directly to the Governor's Mansion, which was divided into two sides, the left was where Fu Cunshen worked, and the right was where Duan Ziyao worked. However, the left of the Tang Dynasty is respected, and the right is humble. So in terms of status, Fu Cunzhen is the number one in the end.

But at this time, Li Cunhuan was troubled, why was he troubled? Although the Governor's Mansion is a place, it covers a wide area, and the Jiedu Envoy and the Dadu Protector are in the same place, should Li Cunhuan stay on the left or on the right?

This is a very delicate matter, although the status of Fu Cunxian is slightly higher than Duan Ziyao, but Duan Ziyao and Fu Cunzhen are not subordinate relations, they are both directly under the jurisdiction of Li Cunhuan. Therefore, Duan Ziyao has no intention of being humble, and Fu Cunxian is naturally even more likely to be humble. As a result, Li Cunhuan was on the threshold of the Governor's Mansion for a moment, not knowing where to go.

Fu Cunxian and Duan Ziyao each made a gesture of please, of course, one left and one right invited Li Cunhuan to rest on their side, and the two had not forgotten to engage in eye confrontation, and the sparks from the collision were fierce. Li Cunhuan glanced at the henchmen who accompanied him a little helplessly, which means, hey! It's time to come out and dilute the mud!

Yelu Abaoji strode up and said, "General, since you are preparing for the autumn hunt, I think it is better to camp outside the city!" ”

Li Cunhuan couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that it was Yelu Abaoji who took the lead in breaking the siege for himself, but he still nodded and said, "Well, Abaoji's proposal is good!" Let's camp in the north of Liaodong City! ”

"Isn't the general going to inspect Liaodong City?" Duan Ziyao asked nervously.

"Please parade the general!" Fu Cunxian naturally will not let go of the opportunity to express himself.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Li Cunhuan waved his hand and spoke.

Fu Cunxian and Duan Ziyao had no choice, there was already a military camp in the north, so Li Cunhuan saved the trouble of camping. With 8,000 soldiers and horses, he entered the station.

The next day, when the sky was dark, Li Cunhuan had already changed into a white short-fought samurai uniform, but someone was faster than him, it was Duan Ziyao, he was waiting for Li Cunhuan at the gate of the camp early in the morning, and asked Li Cunhuan to go to Ma'anshan Military Surveillance to inspect it.

"General, the lower official will let you see a powerful weapon in a while!" Duan Ziyao said excitedly.

"A powerful weapon? What kind of weapon is it? Li Cunhuan asked with some curiosity.

"Don't ask this general! You'll find out when you get there. Duan Ziyao said mysteriously, as if that thing was like the country that made the atomic bomb in the first place.

"Wait!" A shout sounded behind him, Li Cunhuan turned around, only to see Yang Shihou hurriedly running over and asking, "Where is the general?" ”

"Go to Ma'anshan Weapons Surveillance Inspection!" Li Cunhuan replied indifferently, "What's wrong?" Do you want to go too? ”

"It's natural!" Yang Shihou said with a serious face.

As a result, in addition to the unlucky Gao Siji and Xue Atan, who were left to guard the army, Li Cunxiao, Zhou Dewei, and Yelu Abaoji were all of them. Li Cunhuan originally thought that it was only a team of more than ten people, but because of the increase in these people, he immediately had to strengthen his defense, and turned into an iron eagle with 500 people to escort him. More than 500 people set off in a majestic manner, so that Li Cunhuan's original idea of wanting to visit Liaodong City had to die, there were too many people, Li Cunhuan didn't want to be so ostentatious.

Ma'anshan is not too far from Liaodong City, and it took about a quarter of an hour to arrive on horseback. At the foot of the mountain, at a glance, there are rows of chimneys, and houses stained gray and black by soot.

On the periphery of the ordnance prison is a granite stone wall nearly two feet high, which is quite tightly guarded, but it is just to guard against theft by thieves and thieves. But even so, a large army came to attack, and with this wall, it was able to hold on for a while.

Duan Ziyao walked in with Li Cunhuan and his entourage, and there were some workshops doing processing along the way. Duan Ziyao said to Li Cunhuan: "General, these outside workshops are all doing some small work, such as sharpening weapons, helping to build some farm tools, etc., the real core is inside!" ”

Li Cunhuan nodded noncommittally.

Zhou Dewei opened his mouth and asked, "How many weapons can the Ma'anshan Ordnance Supervisor make now?" ”

Duan Ziyao didn't dare to slack off, although his qualifications were older than Zhou Dewei, but now Zhou Dewei was equivalent to the secretary of the military department, and his rank was much higher than him. Even if he was disdainful of Zhou Dewei, but with Li Cunhuan suppressing him, he really didn't dare to come nonsense. He replied honestly: "Now Ma'anshan can make 100 Tang knives, 300 barrier knives, 500 spears, 100 cowhide shields, 300 tower shields, 200 sets of new Mingguang armor, 200 sets of plate armor, 10 sets of chain mail, 100 light crossbows, 50 heavy crossbows, 300 pulley longbows, and 10,000 arrows. ”

Speaking of which, Duan Ziyao added: "The main reason is that the materials can't keep up, there are a lot of iron ores in Ma'anshan, but many of them are inferior iron ores, and only a small number of good quality iron ores can be used to make steel, otherwise it would be a waste of coal to use those inferior iron ores to make steel!" ”

Zhou Dewei nodded and asked, "Then you probably used those weapons made of inferior iron ore to sell them to the Goguryeo people to make money, right?" ”

Duan Ziyao nodded, and said with a regretful face: "This is natural!" But even so, our weapons are better than those Goguryeo weapons, and I don't know how they make iron, what a waste of things! ”

Li Cunhuan interjected on the side and asked, "Ziyao, didn't you tell me to show me your secret weapon?" Why hasn't it arrived yet? ”

"It's coming! Right ahead! Duan Ziyao pointed ahead and answered.

Li Cunhuan looked in the direction Duan Ziyao pointed, and immediately saw a small fortress in front of him. It seems that it is really important, otherwise there would be no need to be so guarded.
