In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the responsibility of weapon repair was subsumed under the salt and iron envoys under the jurisdiction of the three envoys.

Under the envoy of salt and iron, there were a total of seven cases, among them, the "Guan" case was in charge of "repairing rivers and canals, making famous weapons for weapons, as well as weapons workshops and bow and crossbow courtyards".

During the time of Taizu Taizong, the Song army often went to war with the Liao State, and the armament was quite sophisticated.

And in the Zhenzong Dynasty, after the alliance between Song Liao and Yuanyuan, the side affairs gradually subsided, and the matter of weapons seemed to become less urgent. At this time, the Great Song Dynasty had been established for decades, and the affairs of the three envoys were complicated, and the officials in charge of the case were frequently transferred, and the internal chaos and even corruption began to be in the case.

Some officials usurped the working hours of good craftsmen and ordered them to make furniture for their homes. When some officials recruit craftsmen, they collect all the low-cost old and young and the disabled, deduct the fees, and fill their own pockets.

There are also some officials, although they are not greedy, but they are the children of high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, but they are waiting for promotion with a mixture of qualifications.

If you ask them to burn incense, enjoy paintings, and write words, they can tell you the truth, but when it comes to soldiers and arrows, they have never even seen what they can use, so how can they judge the merits and supervise the responsibility?

As a result, the weapons such as armor, bows, crossbows, knives, and guns produced by the salt and iron case were inferior and useless.

Finally, when Xining changed the law, Emperor Shenzong abolished the case and set up a "weapons supervisor", with one chief and one deputy judge, and the official positions such as Cheng, the chief bookkeeper, and official affairs. In the Yuanfeng period, the chief and deputy judges were renamed "prisons" and "young eunuchs".

Since then, the operation and development of the Ordnance Supervisor has been respected by the imperial court as an important part of the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army.

The Bow and Crossbow Courtyard was a workshop that was sometimes separated from the ordnance supervisor and managed by the eunuchs, and sometimes it was re-controlled by the ordnance supervisor due to the tension of the Western Xia war.

However, in the second year of Shaosheng of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Yu Yang Zuotou of the Kaifeng Bow and Crossbow Academy was often uneasy, not because the task of making a crossbow machine was heavy, but because of a woman.

......

It is said that this year's Chongyang Festival is really different from the past.

It stands to reason that this season should be a good weather of "a crane in the clear sky and a row of clouds, which will lead poetry to the blue sky", however, since three days ago, the autumn rain has not stopped, from the initial dripping to the sudden, it is terrifying.

At the beginning of the unitary period, in the dark rain curtain, Ye Rou wore a robe, carried a basket covered with a tight tarpaulin, and walked to the back door of the bow and crossbow courtyard.

Before she could raise her hand and knock, the door opened.

"Yang Zuotou!" Ye Rou called softly, "You haven't been waiting here, have you?" ”

Yang Yu said gently: "So what, I can't see you enough every day." ”

The two walked through the large sheds stacked with horn ribs, bamboo and other materials in the courtyard, and finally entered a small courtyard and entered the house.

Ye Rou put down the basket, and as soon as she took off her robe, a soft velvet brocade wrapped around her head.

Ye Rou was shocked and wanted to hide, so she shouted in her mouth: "Yang Zuotou!" ”

Yang Yu said: "Don't move, wipe the rain for you." It has passed the cold and dew season, beware of getting cold and hurting your body. ”

He said with disgust: "Although I am in the courtyard, there are only you and me left, so you don't have to make such an external name." ”

Ye Rou's heart was overjoyed, but her face suddenly showed a gloomy, and she called out delicately: "Brother Yang." ”

In her eyes, she still showed doubts: "They, they won't come back, right?" ”

Yang Yu smiled: "The imperial court only gave them a few dollars, will they be so diligent?" The Chung Yeung Festival was originally a national holiday, and those who stayed on duty during the holiday in the past were all elderly workers who were usually bullied, and this time I found an excuse to send them home, and they were desperate, and they left before noon. ”

Then, he looked sideways at the rain that was dripping like pearls under the eaves of the porch: "Besides, who wants to go out in this heavy rain." Except for you......"

Ye Rou recognized the seductive color in the man's words, which she expected, she was not frightened or disgusted, she just wanted to control the rhythm of the situation.

She then raised her hand and gently pulled down the Jinpa, deliberately diverting the topic: "It's really a strange thing, how have you ever seen it, before and after Chongyang, such a fierce rain pours, like a spring flood season." ”

Yang Yu sneered lightly: "It is rumored that it is the official family who is pro-government, and he does not hesitate to violate the ancestral system, and turns out the set of Wang Anshi, who was the prime minister of the year, but now the new law is implemented by Zhang Xianggong, who is more vicious than Wang Xianggong." I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager Xuanren is in the spirit of heaven and is angry......"

Ye Rou said secretly, sure enough, as soon as the man talked about the current situation, he had another interest, and even his lustful nature was put aside.

While listening to Yang Yu's nagging, Ye Rou lifted the oilcloth on the basket, opened the lid, and carefully took out all kinds of wine and food inside.

As soon as she entered the house, away from the sound of the rushing rain, she keenly heard the sound of the keys on Yang Yu's body, and at this moment, her eyes swept away, and the string of keys that could open several important rooms in the bow and crossbow courtyard were hung on the copper-headed belt of his gray silk robe.

Yang Yu talked about state affairs, and turned his head to see that Ye Rou had already put out three or four plates of meat and vegetables and a pot of wine.

The light and shadow of the oil lamp swayed, reflecting the woman with slightly pursed cherry lips and wet sideburns, which became more and more exciting.

The old house caught fire, things have come to this point, and Yang Yu really doesn't want to restrain anymore.

He leaned over, grabbed Ye Rou's waist from behind, and rubbed the woman's ear with his chin: "Don't leave tonight, your bastard man will go back to his hometown for funeral, you said that Mr. Shao went to Yingtian Academy again, if you don't go back to Fushunfang, who will know?" ”

Ye Rou's body stiffened.

She was a little prepared for this moment, but after all, it was the body of an untrained girl, and her heart was suddenly flustered, for fear that she would subconsciously behave and teach an experienced man like Yang Yu to feel weird, and she was even more afraid that Yang Yu was too impatient and couldn't control him.

But soon, she thought of the people waiting outside the hospital, and her fighting spirit soared.

She secretly bit the groove of her back teeth, shrunk and broke free from Yang Yu's embrace: "Brother Yang, everything depends on you." ”

Ye Rou's voice is faint, as light as a mosquito, and even more lovable.

Yang Yu saw that her face was blushing like a scarlet glow, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and heard her chase after her, "The wine and meat are cold, I'll boil the water, and the hot dishes and hot wine will be hot", and he didn't stop her, and saw her slender figure flash out of the door.

In the next half hour, the rain became more intense, and Yang Yu's wine was also splashed like this heavy rain.

Usually when he had a drink or two at home, his wife would be mean, saying that he was only good when he drank.

And the young and lovely little lady in front of him, serving him vegetables, pouring wine for him, watching him smile, and talking to him from the bottom of his heart, really made him feel as if he was in the fairy world, and he cared about his mother's life in the world.

How can there be such a big difference between the same married women!

Well, well, drink, drink another glass, and get drunk and kiss Fangze, isn't it even more bliss on earth?

Ye Rou, the later she went, the more nervous she became.

Mr. Shao did not allow the use of sweat medicine, but only mixed another flavor in the wine, saying that it would gradually work with the strength of the wine. In this way, Yang Zuotou will not find out, and only thinks that he is not good at drinking.

When Yang Yu was in the bow and crossbow courtyard, he was not smiling, he was very strict, and he didn't know how to drink. Ye Rou only once heard that the ordnance supervisor who came to inspect made fun of Yang Yu for having a drinking style and not drinking much, so he guessed that he was easy to get drunk.

However, at this time, Yang Yu almost drank the entire bottle of alcohol, and he didn't faint yet.

When Ye Rou was drumming in her heart, Yang Yu stood up with a confused gaze and staggered.

He seemed to grab Ye Rou's shoulder with all his might: "You're here tonight, how can I be really drunk......"

Just listen to the "thump".

Thankfully, he finally collapsed at the table.

Ye Rou calmed down, pinched Yang Yu's arm hard, and only snoring echoed her.

Ye Rou groped around Yang Yu's waist and spent a lot of effort before untying the set of keys.

She rushed into the rain outside, ran to the backyard, and opened a crack in the door.

"Son, man has fallen."

Shao Qing quickly dodged through the door.

"Take me to the room where the armor drawings are kept."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a muffled thunder in the distance.

Ye Rou was stunned: "This month, will there be thunder?" ”
