Coming out of Yufu, Meng Yan and Wen Liangdong parted ways.

Nan Ya craftsman, Meng Yan led the horse in, it was cold and deserted, and it felt a little wrong, but I just couldn't tell what was going on.

"What's going on, where are all the people today?"

Soon, he knew.

At the door of the warehouse, hundreds of craftsmen from the Craftsman Division and some Jinyi Guards were confronting the Craftsman Treasurer Brigade led by Tang Xiao!

"Master Meng, you are here, just in time, Tang Xiaoqi said that your order is not to give the raw materials for production to the ceremonies?" It was a hundred households from the Craftsman Division who spoke, with a surname or something, but Meng Yan didn't remember it, he basically didn't deal with these people.

Deputy Qianhu Yu Shoucheng stood to the side with a gloomy face, his hands pinned behind his back, and a large group of people surrounded him, and the crowd was excited.

"Tang Xiao, what's going on?"

Meng Yan ignored him and asked Tang with a smile first.

"My lord, according to the number of materials they reported to the company, our warehouse has already allocated the full amount, and they still want it now, how can we still have materials for them in our warehouse?" Tang Xiao said angrily, "What's more, we have already issued a notice and informed them, but now they have come to us to ask for materials, no!" ”

"You heard, your materials have been fully allocated to you by our warehouse, there is no reason for you to come to us for materials again, the craftsman is a place to talk about the rules!" Meng Yan said coldly.

"Meng Baihu, now that the materials are exhausted, the production is delayed, and the tasks assigned by the imperial court cannot be completed, can you take this responsibility?" Yu Shoucheng walked over and raised the corners of his eyes slightly. A cold snort.

"I've seen Yu Deputy Qianhu under the mark!" Meng Yan lowered his eyebrows slightly and arched his hand.

"Excuse me!"

"The annual production tasks of the craftsman division are set up a year ago, even if there is an additional increase or decrease, it will be informed in advance, so the purchase, distribution and loss of raw materials are clearly recorded in the account book, and the procedures are complete, all of which are well documented. Delayed production. Isn't it ridiculous in the world? Meng Yan said coldly.

"Meng Yan, our craftsman is not an ordinary workshop, some losses are uncontrollable, and it is normal for materials to be used not enough!"

"This official can be understood. However, this official issued a notice as early as half a month ago. Why did you find out that you didn't have enough materials until today? Meng Yan asked with a sneer.

"This ......"

"Meng Yan. Don't talk nonsense, you can't open a warehouse today, everyone is waiting to get the materials back to work! “

"No, I don't. I won't open it to anyone today! ”

"Meng Yan, don't think that if you become the son-in-law of the commander, you can be arrogant, if you don't open the warehouse and delay the battle ahead, I see how many heads you have!" Yu Shoucheng shouted angrily.

"Yu Deputy Qianhu, my Nanya Craftsman Division is mainly engaged in weapon research and development, and the production is only a small part, and now there is no war in the northwest and Liaodong, why delay?" Meng Yan asked rhetorically.

"Meng Yan, if you don't send materials, so many people will have nothing to do, do you have to bear this responsibility?"

"Then it doesn't matter to the official, the official's responsibility is to manage the warehouse, and the production should be within the scope of your responsibility, right?"

"You wait, Ben Qianhu will go and ask Lord Wei now!" Yu Shoucheng flicked his sleeves angrily and separated everyone.

"My lord, what now?" Fan Xiping sweated on his forehead and leaned over to ask.

"Guard the gate, no one is allowed to enter!" Meng Yan ordered.

"Tian Lao, did Yu Shoucheng incite those people to go to the warehouse?" Above the lobby of the craftsman's division, thousands of households Wei Shi and the craftsman master are playing against each other.

"Lord Wei doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all?"

"What am I anxious about, Yu Shoucheng can't recognize the form, it's time to obey the words of the Wang brothers, and find trouble with Meng Yan, that's self-destruction!" Wei Shi said as he fell.

Tian Dajiang was a little nervous, among the people who followed Yu Shoucheng, there were a few of them who were his apprentices and grandchildren, and he was worried that they would be used as gunmen by Yu Shoucheng!

"Tian Lao doesn't have to be nervous, Yu Shoucheng can't cover the sky with one hand in the craftsman department!" As soon as Wei Shi looked up, he saw Master Tian frowning and smiled slightly.

"Lord Wei has been prepared for a long time?"

"Tian Lao, it's your turn!" Wei Shi smiled and urged.

"Senno-sama ......"

"What's the panic, don't you want the rules?"

"Lord Qiqi Qianhu, I ask to see you in the deputy Qianhu!" The flustered lieutenant quickly stood up, bent down and saluted.

"Let him in!"

"No!"

"Brother Wei, is Tian Lao also there?" Yu Shoucheng walked in quickly, and was a little surprised to see Wei Shi and Tian Dajiang playing chess.

"Shoucheng, look at you in a hurry, is there something wrong?" Wei Shi took care of himself.

"Brother Wei, you don't care about that Meng Yan or not, you don't care, I'll take care of it, it's too unreasonable, is there a treasurer like him?" Yu Shoucheng said with a face full of resentment.

"What do you want me to do?" Wei Shi turned his head and asked.

"This Meng Yan is now closing the door of the warehouse and not distributing materials to the relevant departments of the department, and now several institutes have no way to produce and operate!" Yu Shou Cheng Road.

"Is it so strict?"

"Tian Lao, the 10,000 catties of Fujian iron in the iron smelting institute you presided over this month, as well as 3,000 catties of brass and tin, have now been detained by that Meng Yan!"

"Deducted?"

"Don't deduct it, he said that our material allocation this year has been overspent and can't be given anymore!"

"Overspending, the old man's iron smelting institute only uses 120,000 catties of iron a year, I asked the day before yesterday, I only received less than 100,000 catties, how can it be exceeded?" Master Tian asked angrily.

"Tian Lao, sit down first and dissipate your anger!" Wei Shi shook his head slightly, it was obvious that this situation was either that Master Tian was deceived by the people below, or that the warehouse had made a mistake and deliberately did not give the materials for iron smelting.

"Brother Wei, look at it, is this like a word?" Yu Shoucheng is happy, this master Tian is really on the road, and he will come up as soon as he arches the fire.

This man is old, and his anger is not small. It's getting bigger and bigger.

"Someone!"

"Senho-sama!"

"Go, call Meng Baihu over, no, please come over, this Qianhu has something to ask him!" Wei Shi waved his hand and ordered a school captain.

"No!"

The captain of the brocade guard flew away, and it took less than a stick of incense to lead Meng Yan and Tang Xiao in.

Tang Xiao was still carrying a big box, and he didn't know what it contained.

Meng Yan was dressed in a unicorn robe, which was given by the emperor. Not even Qianhu Wei Shi. It was also because of his outstanding merits that Master Tian was given a unicorn robe, which was still the first emperor, but he was wearing civilian clothes today!

Seeing Meng Yan, a new unicorn robe. I suddenly felt very dazzling!

Yu Shoucheng's eyes are green with jealousy!

No way. Who called people to make a splash on Halloween. seems to have become a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven.

The young man is full of spirit, and this is what he wants!

"Under the standard, the treasurer of the hundred households, Meng Yan, see Wei Qianhu, Tian Dajiang!"

"Excuse me!"

"Meng Baihu. Just now, Deputy Qianhu said to the official, have you listened to the supply of materials from various offices in the department? Wei Shi asked.

"Returning to the Thousand Households, but there is such a thing!"

"Why?"

"In all the divisions, except for a few, this year's material ration has been fully or even overpaid, so the warehouse will no longer issue materials and enter the year-end inventory in advance." Meng Yan bowed slightly.

"Oh, Meng Baihu, our company is different from the factories below, and all material applications are flexible."

"I understand this mark, but this flexible supply is not unlimited, Lord Qianhu, what do you say?"

"This is natural!" Wei Shi knows that there is a lot of deficit in the warehouse, which is related to the fraudulent receipt or even repeated receipt of materials by various offices.

In the end, this ass is counted on the head of the warehouse, which is unfair, and for this reason, the warehouse will be subsidized every year, which is also understandable.

"Meng Baihu, Master Meng, my smelter has 120,000 catties of Fujian iron every year, and this year I have only received less than 100,000 catties, and the raw copper and tin have not been received, why did you cut off our supply?" Tian Dajiang is embarrassed.

"Master Tian, if the materials of the smelting house are not sufficient, our warehouse will definitely not refuse to accept them, Tang Xiao, you come to explain to Master Tian!" Meng Yan commanded.

"Yes, sir!" Tang Xiao put down the wooden box in his hand, and after opening it, a blue-skinned account book was revealed!

After rummaging through it, a ledger with the words "Details of the materials received by the smelter" was taken out!

"On the seventeenth day of January this year, the smelter received 13,000 catties of Fujian iron, which was converted into silver...... On the fourth day of the ninth month, he led Min Tie 9,500 catties...... October ......"

"Don't read it anymore, tell the old man a total!" Listening to these figures, Master Tian's face gradually became gloomy, and anyone who had a little bit of arithmetic could calculate that the materials received by the smelting institute this year far exceeded the quota set at the beginning of the year!

The atmosphere was condensed, Wei Shi picked up the teacup and drank the tea, Yu Shoucheng watched Wei Shi drink the water, and also felt that his throat was dry.

Tang Xiao glanced at Meng Yan, and Meng Yan nodded at him slightly.

"Returning to the master craftsman, the smelter received a total of 135,300 catties of Min iron, 38,700 catties of raw copper, and ...... of tin."

"Master Meng, tell the old man, these numbers have no moisture, are they all true?" Master Tian stood up, stared at Meng Yan with a pair of old eyes, and asked forcefully.

"If Tian Lao has doubts about the numbers in the account book, we also have a list of materials to be received, which has the signature, fingerprint and date of the recipient, as well as our delivery list, which also has the signature, fingerprint and date of our people, which can be checked!" Meng Yan is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Enough, I'm angry with the old man!" Tian Dajiang slapped his palm on the chessboard, and the blacks and whites were scattered all over the ground!

What he hated was not Meng Yan, but his subordinates, who actually deceived himself so much, he had already received enough materials, but he deliberately lied about the numbers, where did those extra materials go, he knew it!

These people are blatantly corrupt and corrupt, if this is discovered, it will definitely be a scandal, and his own reputation will be ruined!

"Tian Lao ......"

Seeing Master Tian fall down with his forehead, the lobby suddenly became a mess. (To be continued......)
