Chapter 829: The Craftsman's Workshop

Different from many of Shen Yuan's plans, Sha Dacheng, who was also a hero on the sea back then, had a very stable intention of settling down on Tianjin's side. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, from Tianjin Wei to Liaozhen, the sea is calm, and there are not so many forces entangled, even if the goods are delivered, in addition to the goods of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, they can also follow the trade, and they have not gone once and have made a large amount of profits.

Who doesn't want to live such a peaceful life, and maybe you can earn more when you go to the ocean, but it's also a knife licking blood, and no one knows if you can come back when you go to sea, compared to the good life now, you naturally know how to choose.

And this Sha Dacheng's son Sha Dongning is indeed a good future under Wang Tong's throne, a reckless character in the green forest, except for those who are unruly in nature, most people have a twelve-point desire for the official body, seeing Sha Dongning's glory and wealth in front of him, Sha Dacheng is not willing to drag him down.

In the past six months, many of Sha Dacheng's subordinates have moved from the Wa Kingdom and the south, and they have also set up a book road guide in the Qing Military Department of Tianjin Wei in accordance with the rules, and purchased an industrial leasing port, which has the meaning of making a home in Tianjin Wei'an.

So Wang Tong laughed and ridiculed this, hearing Wang Tong's words, Sha Dacheng reacted quickly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said:

"The villain is stupid, he just thinks that he is happy now, and he still hopes that the Hou Ye will dial it."

"Get up and talk, get up and speak, your own family doesn't have to be so polite, the sea is so vast, the Shadong family's vision should not be limited to the north."

Seeing Sha Dacheng's puzzled expression, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"The countries of the South Seas, Tianzhu, and even the ghost countries like Persia and Francoji to the west, aren't these all places where you can do business, in the future, our business will go over there, it will definitely not be as peaceful as here, the people on the ship know how to fight and dare to see blood."

"Hou Ye Hou Ye can see far away, the small one is limited, listening to Hou Ye say this, the small one understands."

Sha Dacheng hurriedly agreed, but after a pause, he still spoke:

"Small presumptuous, with the fleet capacity of our Tianjin Wei side, in fact, even this side is not full, Liaozhen is a bottomless pit, they want it over there, and they have to ask for the Mongols and Jurchens and savages in the east and north, and the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo are also big sums, and we can't take care of the south, and now Hou Ye wants to go so far"

"With such a ship being built one by one, sooner or later the capacity will be saturated, and we will have enough to eat in this life, as well as children and grandchildren."

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Sha Dacheng nodded again and again, and said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, the villain's vision is still shallow."

But when I heard this, Sha Dacheng also wanted to laugh a little, counting his age, Wang Tong is actually Sha Dacheng's son and nephew, what kind of descendants are here, it is really awkward.

"Shadong's knives and guns are in storage, and the horses are in Nanshan, but Shen Dong's side hasn't relaxed yet."

Wang Tong said this, but Sha Dacheng was an agitated spirit, and kowtowed and said:

"Hou Ye's reminder that the villain understands, the villain must let the sons and daughters not slack off, thank you Hou Ye for his great grace to the martial arts."

In fact, even if Sha Dacheng is not armed, if he simply takes refuge in Tianjin, Wang Tong is sure to protect him, but Sha Dacheng's subordinates are all experienced pirates at sea and are the best candidates for sailors.

Shen Vao's side has always maintained his own force, and even strengthened it through various channels, this point is enough for Sha Dacheng to be vigilant.

The two sides are inseparable, if there is no protection of Tianjin Wei in the future, they really want to do it, and Sha Dacheng's fleet, which enjoys peace without weapons, will not become fish and meat under the other party's knife.

The weather in July is not pleasant in the workshop, and the temperature of the blacksmith's furnace is still sweaty in the cold winter, and it is even worse on this hot day.

However, Wang Tong's personal guards were all elated, which was regarded as a reward for their personal attendants, and Wang Tong wanted to replace all the equipment on their bodies.

Not to mention anything else, but this plate armor is considered a treasure that can be inherited in the Northland Army, because the protection is so effective, except for the powerful spear stabbing at close range on the battlefield, and the sword slash aimed at the gap in the armor, it is difficult to cause damage from other attacks.

Such a good thing, many people think that it is extremely expensive, and the Huwei Army can be equipped because the palace is willing to spend money, and most people don't even have the heart to ask the price.

Don't say that others, the soldiers are all like this, they fight on the battlefield, and the armor is damaged, but everyone is cherished and maintained, and some people are looking for a blacksmith shop to repair it, just think that this is precious, and when they come to Tianjin Wei, they know that they can be replaced, so there is no need to say that they are happy.

And this change is not to give them a new set of armor, the craftsmen of the private workshop will also adjust it according to their figure.

Wang Tong's personal guards, taller and stronger than ordinary people, and thinner than ordinary people, they may not fit properly when they wear armor, this time through the lining and belts to adjust, so that they wear more fit.

Needless to say, weapons or something, some people have shot many times with guns, and the accuracy has changed, this is also a new one, and the knives, guns, bows and arrows are selected by them, and they take what they see.

There was jubilation and laughter, Wang Tong inspected the workshop accompanied by Qiao Da and several foreign craftsmen, Wang Tong has very strict requirements for management, and whether or not to abide by labor discipline rules and regulations, in his opinion, will be directly reflected in the quality and efficiency of production.

Everything in the workshop was according to his requirements, but Wang Tong naturally would not be confused by such a surface, and just said:

"A few days before I came, you stopped work for half a day to clean here, this time I don't care, next time, you go to the north Zhuangzi to retire."

Qiao's waist bent lower, and he couldn't stop laughing, and several white craftsmen didn't dare to raise their heads, and when they walked to the hydraulic stamping machinery, Wang Tong asked while looking at the machinery:

"Qiao Da, your two sons are now working in the workshop, and there was a vacancy in the procurement of materials at that time, and you didn't arrange it, which is good"

"The master has given enough wealth to the little ones, and there are still a number of villains who are targeted at and make tongues."

Listening to Wang Tong's praise, Qiao Da, who was still a little nervous just now, finally put his mind at ease, several craftsmen were adjusting an iron piece, adjusting the position, and then dodging the spring that triggered the hydraulic punch, and the iron piece was smashed down, and then stopped the punch, and then readjusted the position of the iron piece.

Seeing Wang Tong's attention, Qiao laughed and stepped forward and said:

"This is what the merchant Abagun set for the bow of their ship, saying that it was used to wrap the bow of the ship."

It should be used as a collision on the sea, Wang Tong thought casually, and Qiao Da on the side lowered his voice and said:

"Master, the last month Jizhen came to order three hundred sets of plate armor, and Liaozhen also came to order eight hundred sets ten days ago, and the villain said that he couldn't be the master, sir, look?"

Wang Tong walked to the other side, was silent for a while, and said with a smile:

"The workshop also has to make money, and the army of the Ming Dynasty will buy it, so it will still be sold, but the words are also clear, cash trading, otherwise it will not be sold."

This answer was not quite what Qiao Da thought, but since Wang Tong had made a decision, he had no choice but to comply, and after taking a few steps, Wang Tong turned his head and said:

"Each set of armor must earn at least two hundred taels, if they have the heart, the production technology of this plate armor should be learned within a few years, and they can earn more while they can earn more during this gap."

Qiao Da immediately agreed with a smile on his face, and walked around here, Wang Tong was already sweating profusely, but the private workshop had already been prepared, at the junction of the private workshop and a river in the triangle, a small garden was specially set up, this side is upstream, the water is also clean, it is a quiet place, if there are any officials or wealthy businessmen who come, the private workshop will be here to entertain guests.

Wang Tong changed out of his soaked clothes here, and Ren Yuan, who presided over the official workshop, also came, and all the leading figures of the craftsman were waiting in the wooden house in the garden.

"I'm in Beijing, it's impossible to pay attention to this side all the time, just say a few words, the rules set at the beginning must be strictly enforced, don't relax because I'm not there or don't produce much, the rules are wrong or inappropriate, you don't dare to move, there must be technological innovation, always the same, sooner or later people have to cross over, at that time, we have money, buy other people's better things, you have no need to exist."

After Wang Tong said this, several people listened solemnly, and hurriedly got up to agree, Wang Tong opened his mouth and said:

"Jizhen, Liao Town, such a large military town, the number of armor bought is not much, obviously for their pro-soldiers will be prepared, not the most elite batch, so calculated, even if the military towns all over the world are bought, there will not be too large a number, plus our price is set high, I am afraid that many people will shrink when they hear this price, in addition to the supply of the Huwei Army to ensure that the workshop is ready to make more money for the people, today I see the bow of the armor, it is good"

Everyone got up again and agreed, and when they sat down, Ren Ren, the director of the Ministry of Works, couldn't help but praise:

"Hou Ye is not only a martial artist, this art of management and craftsmanship is also unparalleled in the world, the work of the original workshop is decreasing, everyone is a little overwhelmed, listening to Hou Ye say this, the heart is a lot brighter."

Everyone naturally agreed, and while they were talking, there were pro-soldiers outside who reported loudly:

"Master Hou, the two brothers Wu Da Wu have come back from Jizhen and are waiting at Zhuangzi in the north of the city."

Wang Tong smiled and said:

"The team traveling south this time is almost complete, and it will leave the day after tomorrow."

"I wish Hou Ye a smooth journey this time."

Everyone said auspicious words in unison, and when they dispersed, Ren Yuan was a little puzzled, and said to Qiao Da:

"Master Hou went to Jiangnan on an errand, and it would be good to bring more officials who are proficient in accounts and political affairs, why did he bring so many soldiers to go, and it was not a war."
