Chapter 679: Instruments

The two looked at each other, and Dongfang Xuanze said, "Go inside and have a look." He Jiang nodded, and the two of them jumped into it easily with light body skills, and many of them were working, and everyone was insensitive, like the walking dead.

None of them noticed at all, or they were all working together to deal with the work at hand, and who cared who they were?

At this moment, the side door opened, and a tall thin man in black clothes walked in with a fat man, followed by a few guard-like people behind them, and the tall and thin man introduced while walking: "This batch of things are all in it, all are very good, let's go in and have a look." ”

"It's all from above, it's not up to me to decide whether it's good or not, there is nothing else here, but there are countless iron mines, as it was said above, there may not be a reward for doing well, but once this is not done well, disaster will fall from the sky, so you and I have to be cautious." The fat man also seems to be afraid of the "people above".

Everyone entered a warehouse, Dongfang Xuanze and He Jiang followed behind, and when they arrived in the warehouse, the thin and tall man pulled out a cloth, and below it were all white weapons, because in the night, the weapons looked shining and shining, and they looked very good.

Dongfang Xuanze and He Jiang took a look and found that many of them were weapons used by the army, including spears and crazy knives, as well as crossbow arrows and wheels, etc., which were piled up together.

The tall, thin man with the weight of a melon walked forward and stood next to the weapon, and the man who looked like a melon snorted softly.

He casually reached out and took out a weapon from a large pile, struck it, and then pulled out a strand of his own hair, and blew on the sharp edge, and everyone held their breath for fear that this batch of weapons would not be qualified.

How do you know that the light hair fell, and it was split in two without even making a sound, the fat man's eyes lit up, waved his hand, and a person walked behind him.

This person is dressed as a bookkeeper, with an iron abacus hanging on his chest, and his eagle-like eyes are very sharp.

"Let's make a book." So said the fat man.

"Okay." The man who looked like Mr. Bookkeeper licked the brush and began to calculate, after a while, everyone left, Dongfang Xuanze and He Jiang approached the warehouse, the two stared at the weapons, and found that the shape and materials of these weapons were very good, and the two of them realized that the iron ore here was very pure, much better than the iron ore in Dijing.

Dongfang Xuanze picked a Wu hook, He Jiang chose an embroidered spring knife, and the two left quietly in the moonlight, returned to their previous position, took the bamboo basket and left.

"It's an arsenal." He Jiang followed behind Dongfang Xuanze, and she looked at the sharp weapon in her hand.

"But it's not the imperial court's arsenal, there are only two arsenals in my country, and they are both in Longquan, what weapons does the imperial court need, the quantity, length, and weight will be ordered after strict accounting and statistics, this arsenal looks very strange." Back then, Dongfang Xuanze also visited the arsenal with Longquan, the two people who supervised the imperial history.

Although the **** years have passed, the scene in the arsenal is still vivid, and the court is generally more generous in employing people, especially in places that consume physical energy. But here it was different, it was clear that the group was young men who had been taken from a nearby village.

"What the prince means, this is a private arsenal, isn't that a great crime?" In this dynasty, not to mention the casting of weapons, that is, the smelting of iron and steel, and the casting of ordinary agricultural tools need to be written on the local level, and the Ministry of Industry can only open factories after issuing approvals.

But this factory is built in the deep mountains and old forests, which is a strange phenomenon.

"After a while, I will continue to understand, I think there is a big problem with this arsenal." Dongfang Xuanze frowned, and He Jiang nodded.

The two went to the village, Chen Jintong has not rested, she has just come back from outside, today she is busy, but she has benefited a lot, she gathered the crowd to find some clean land, filled a lot of wells, and now the well that can be used for drinking water is the most central one in the village.

After returning to the house, she ate a little pumpkin porridge and was stretching her waist, Dongfang Xuanze and He Jiang came back, Chen Jintong saw that they only came back at this time, and hurriedly went over to say hello.

"I'm going to prepare pumpkin porridge for you to eat."

A peasant woman had already gone over to prepare, Dongfang Xuanze and He Jiang told Chen Jintong what they had seen and heard along the way, and when they heard that there was an arsenal here, Chen Jintong raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Isn't the imperial court's arsenal in Longquan?" When did you migrate here, and you've never heard of it? ”

"So this king looks at the cat here, you see, this is the finished product they made." Dongfang Xuanze took out the Wu hook, Chen Jintong went over to admire it, and found that the Wu hook was as dazzling as autumn water, and Dongfang Xuanze's hair fell on the Wu hook, and the Wu hook easily divided the hair into two.

Chen Jintong has seen sharp weapons, but it is still unprecedented to be as fastidious as this, "It's so good, it's so good." ”

"From what I've observed, the iron ore here is different, it's even purer than that of Zhongjing, and they must have incorporated some new techniques into their forging to make their weapons so sharp." He Jiang reasoned.

"Let's pay more attention, but now is the time for you to fill in the Five Organs Temple, eat it." Chen Jintong smiled and handed them the porcelain spoon, and the two went to rest after eating.

On the second day, after getting up early, Dongfang Xuanze went to inquire about everything about the arsenal, and the farmer took the initiative to contact them, and as soon as Dongfang Xuanze asked, the farmer replied, as long as it was the question he asked, the farmer knew everything.

The two chatted for a while, and Dongfang Xuanze found that this factory existed three or five years ago, but at that time, the imperial court had an approval to make farm tools.

Many people never came out after entering, and at first some people went to complain, but where did they know that the county magistrate came to check, not only did he not stand on the side of the people, but also pointed to the person who complained, saying that this person "bewitched the public and believed the people", and the result of the handling of the matter was naturally that the people suffered a loss.

The man said: "I'm afraid that this boss has a good relationship with the county master, and I won't go when I see danger at that time, that's all I know." The man took a sip of tea and moistened his throat.

"That's enough, thanks." Dongfang Xuanze sent the man out, and he planned to investigate, but He Jiang persuaded him to ignore it in every possible way, Dongfang Xuanze was originally a selfless person, and he naturally understood the priorities when he encountered this matter, so he would not listen to He Jiang's advice.
