The three centurions took Lu Yao to the Hyogo. As soon as I opened the door, a smell of decay came to my face, mixed with the smell of rust, which was unbearable.

"Let the captain see the smile." The centurion, who had been speaking his mouth, laughed dryly and summoned the soldiers to ventilate the Hyogo, dissipating the strange smell inside.

"What's your name?" Lu Yao stepped aside, so as not to be smoked by the strange smell, looked at the busy soldiers, and asked without looking back.

"The villain's surname is Shen, and he is the eldest in the family. Everyone calls me Shenda. Shen Da laughed dryly.

Lu Yao glanced at Shen Da with a strange expression. Poor people don't pay attention to names. Most of the surnames with a random word after the surname are a name. For example, Shenda is the eldest in the family, so it is called Shenda. The second in line is usually called Shen Er. It was not easy to be a centurion from a poor family.

Seeing the expression on Lu Yao's face, Shen Da was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from the captain, the villain has a bad background." Being able to be a centurion is all due to the merits of defeating the Qiang people in Xiliang ten years ago. This is true for all three of us. However, he offended Xiliang and was sent back to Beijing, and arranged to eat in this ghost place and wait for death. ”

Lu Yao nodded in response, and then looked at the other two centurions.

"Villain Jiang Er."

"Villain Kong San."

Two centurions introduce themselves smartly. Lu Yao gave them hope of escaping from this place where they could only eat and wait for death. They are all from the battlefield in exchange for their lives, if there is no way, who is willing to guard the broken warehouse. The big head was all taken away from above, and they could only share a little scum. If something happens, they'll be the first to be treated as a substitute.

At this time, the soldiers cleared the turbid air in the arsenal and began the inventory work. Bundles of arrows and arrows were sent to Lu Yao. These arrows look good, but in fact the shafts are moldy. When the soldiers brought in the arrows, they secretly wiped off the mold marks, but they were not handled enough in a hurry, and the mold marks could still be seen. Lu Yao even saw that many arrow shafts were eaten by insects.

Lu Yao's face sank like water, and he never said a word.

Shen Da saw that Lu Yao's face was wrong, his complexion changed, and he smiled dryly: "It was raining a few days ago, and it was a little damp and ......" Speaking of this, he was not embarrassed to continue to explain forcibly, and quickly changed the topic: "There are 50,000 arrows in this library, 10,000 spears, 5,000 swords and shields, and the number of armor is not much, only 1,000. Other equipment such as harness is stored in other stocks. ”

Fifty thousand arrows is a lot of money. It took two hours for the three hundred soldiers to carry it. During this process, Lu Yao remained silent, and his expression was very indifferent. Seeing that the three of them were shocked, they said that it should not be the three fires of the new officials, and they wanted to take advantage of them.

After the arrows were counted, the three hundred soldiers did not bother to rest, and began to count the spears under the shouting of Shen Da. The spears are still unsightly. The tip of the gun is covered with rust and will not reflect in the sun. The barrel of the gun was not much different from the arrows. Needless to say, the next Pak knife and shield are not to be said. The entire Hyogo was largely in ruins. Only the 10,000 arrows, 500 knives, and 1,000 spears that had just been put into storage intact.

After the inventory, it was already dusk. Shen Da came forward to curry favor and said, "The captain has just taken office, so why don't the three of us prepare a banquet and congratulate the captain on his promotion." ”

"No need, I still have important business, farewell." Lu Yao took the roster of the Hyogo in the secretary's hand, turned over his horse, and left the No. 1 warehouse.

Back at the inn, Lu Yao found Cai Yan, put the Hyogo roster on the table, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect there to be such a big oil and water this time." ”

Cai Yan blinked, picked up the roster and flipped through it. After only a few glances, she asked in surprise, "Does the lord want to swallow these things?" Speaking of this, she frowned again and said thoughtfully: "No, these things are all in the book." Even if they have been scrapped, they cannot be swallowed by the public or private. He Jin is worried that there is no excuse to deal with the lord. Once the defeat is traced, the lord will not be able to get out of it. I'm afraid I can't even protect you. ”

Lu Yao smiled and shook his head. Although Cai Yan is smart, after all, as an NPC, he has inherent limitations. He Jin arranged for him to go to the No. 1 library, and the purpose was very obvious. I want to take this opportunity to deal with him reasonably and legally. But Jian Shuo is different.

Jian Shuo deliberately came all the way to find him from Zhuya Prefecture, in order to prove in front of Emperor Ling that he had the ability to know people and was enough to be in charge of an army. No matter what excuse He Jin makes, Jian Shuo will try his best to protect him. It can be said that he is now invincible.

"My lord, this matter is not easy to solve. If it is reported, He Jin will impose military justice on the grounds of mismanagement. If you don't report it, the army will go out in the coming day, and most of the armor in the arsenal will be scrapped, and He Jin will behead you on the grounds of deception and failure to report and delay military affairs. Cai Yan said, feeling nervous.

"Of course you have to report it." Lu Yao smiled faintly.

"Lord......" Cai Yan was anxious.

"But it's not reported to He Jin, but to Jian Shuo. Only then can we swallow these things. Lu Yao laughed, in a very good mood.

Xanadu Town is developing rapidly. However, the iron ore promised by Mojia Village to Xanadu Town has not been fulfilled for a long time. It is no longer the population that restricts the development of Xanadu Town, but iron ore. Until now, Lu Yao had to buy iron ore from the trading platform to meet the growing demand. But on the trading platform, the amount of iron ore is not only small, but also very expensive. One unit even reached 5 silver, and it was probably only possible to make a simple knife or two iron pots.

Weapons, farm tools, and all kinds of iron daily necessities are lacking in Xanadu Town.

The 50,000 arrows, 10,000 spears, 5,000 knives and 5,000 shields, plus 1,000 pairs of armor in the No. 1 warehouse, take them back and replace them with arrows and guns, and renovate them is enough to make Xanadu Town not need to build weapons for a long time, use the limited iron ore resources for people's livelihood, and improve the territory's own economy.

Cai Yan frowned and pondered, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with joy: "The lord is really calculating." ”

……

Early the next morning, Lu Yao found someone to bring a message to Grandpa Cao. The people who open the inn have a wide range of channels and channels, so it is not surprising to know that the eunuchs in the palace are outside the private residence. Within an hour, Gonggong Cao came in a hurry.

"I said, brother, what is there that wants me to come out of the palace? Now that the Yellow Turban thief is rebelling, the palace can be investigated tightly. As soon as Gonggong Cao entered the house, he chattered, repeatedly emphasizing that the palace is not lax than before.

"The Chinese envoy forgive me, there is really an urgent matter." Lu Yao's attitude was very low, and he pushed the roster of the inventory of Hyogo to Gonggong Cao.

Gonggong Cao picked it up suspiciously and looked at it. After just one glance, he was frightened, and his face turned snow-white: "This ...... He Jin is an old thief who is hateful, and he secretly calculates his brother. ”

"So I didn't dare to report it immediately, so I had to ask the lieutenant envoy to come over and discuss what to do." Lu Yao pretended to be helpless.

"He old thief should be killed." Gonggong Cao scolded, turned his head and put down the roster with a bitter face: "But since my brother has entered the urn, have you ever thought of a way to solve this matter?" ”

"I thought about it all night, and I only thought of a way that wasn't the way to go." Lu Yao frowned, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Brother, say quickly, the big thing of Jian Huangmen can't be delayed." Gonggong Cao suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw and grabbed Lu Yao's right hand.

"Now we can only take advantage of the defeat to allocate a batch of armor weapons into storage as soon as possible. As long as no one finds out in the future, He Jin will not dare to openly punish me. Lu Yao paused for a moment and said worriedly: "It's just the matter of transferring armor weapons into storage, I'm afraid Jian Huangmen can't help it." ”

Father-in-law Cao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he applauded: "Not bad, yes, my brother is really talented." Our family will go back to the palace and inform Jian Huangmen. Speaking of this, his face changed, and he hurriedly asked: "It is easy to transfer a batch of armor and weapons, but the amount of those scrapped things is not small, once it is transported out of the arsenal, He Lao Thief will definitely know." ”

Lu Yao saw that Gonggong Cao had finally opened his mind, and said with a smile: "The envoy doesn't have to worry. My paradise town is far away in Zhuya Prefecture. Even if He Jin had a heart, he couldn't find out the whereabouts of those things. ”

Father-in-law Cao suddenly turned his worries into joy, and praised loudly: "This is very good." Our family will go back to the palace and Jian Huangmen to handle this matter. ”
