Chapter Forty-Five: The Difficult Eighth Rank Official
The master replied, "It's not a success, it's not a failure." ”
The young eunuch raised an eyebrow at him.
The master book sighed and said, "The sword made is indeed a few points stronger than the one used by the Iron Weapons Battalion now, but it is only a few points, and it can't be compared with the pig-killing knife brought by Vice General Qin." ”
He was also embarrassed when he said it, "How nice it would be if that kind of knife could be made......
Young Eunuch Wei stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that he happened to make it?" ”
"Not really." The master shook his head, "I heard that he learned a special forging method from a female guest, and he made a set of excellent knives under the guidance of others, but this forging method is half-learned, alas......"
Young Eunuch Wei said, "In that case, let's go and find out the female guest!" ”
The master bookkeeper shook his head, and his tone was heavy, "I've been looking for it!" Blacksmith Liu said that the female guest's surname is Hua, our people have searched the entire Panshui City, and there is only one family surnamed Hua, who is a matchmaker! I don't know how to forge at all, but I'm afraid that the guest is a foreigner and has already left Panshui. ”
The rising hope was dashed again, and the young superintendent of the ordnance superintendent and the chief bookkeeper stared at each other with big eyes, and sighed in unison.
After being silent for a long time, Young Eunuch Wei stroked his beard and stood up, "It seems that we can only hope that this blacksmith Liu will study a new forging method as soon as possible." ”
The master bookkeeper also stood up, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
……
The Ordnance Supervisor is in charge of weapons manufacturing, and is divided into bow and crossbow battalions, iron battalions, armor battalions and other military workshops, and is in charge of making weapons, flags, and tents, which is equivalent to the ancient military material manufacturing plant.
As its name suggests, the Iron Battalion is responsible for all iron weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds.
The young eunuch and the master bookkeeper went to the blacksmith camp together, and saw Blacksmith Liu smoking a cigarette gun outside the workshop from a distance, with a sad face.
The master bookkeeper whispered to the young eunuch: "See? I guess it didn't work out again......"
The young eunuch's expression was solemn, "Although it was not successful, it is indeed stronger than the original knives in the iron camp, and this Liu blacksmith still has some real materials." ”
The two of them had already approached as they spoke.
When Blacksmith Liu saw someone coming, he hurriedly put down his cigarette gun and saluted the two of them with sincere fear, "The villain has seen the young eunuch and the master bookkeeper." ”
"How's it going?" Young Supervisor Wei asked.
Blacksmith Liu was about to speak, and there happened to be a person in the workshop, who was the supervisor of the ironware battalion.
When the supervisor saw the young eunuch and the master bookkeeper, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Lord Wei, Lord Xu, the two adults are just in time!" Check out our new long knives! ”
Looking at this elated, it seems that it has been done, so why is Blacksmith Liu still wrinkling his face?
Young Eunuch Wei and Master Xu glanced at each other, and followed the supervisor into the house in confusion.
The overseer brought a long knife.
The blade is slightly curved and the cutting edge is sharp.
Eunuch Wei stretched out his hand to hold it and tried to wave it a few times.
The weight is just right, it won't be heavy, and it won't be light.
"Good knives!" Young Eunuch Wei couldn't help but praise it!
Previously, because of Fu Tingye's dissatisfaction with the random stuffing of people in the armory prison for him, he immediately faded a lot. If every folk craftsman has such a craft, why wouldn't he do it?
The supervisor spared no effort and praised Blacksmith Liu, "Thanks to Uncle Liu's forging by this fire day and night, he can make such a good knife!" ”
Young Eunuch Wei nodded, "Since that's the case, I will immediately recruit other craftsmen to teach this method to the next level!" The next time the Liao soldiers come to attack, they can be killed by surprise! ”
When everyone heard this, they applauded.
Only Blacksmith Liu was silent, looking dazed.
Young Eunuch Wei couldn't help but ask, "What else does Blacksmith Liu have to worry about?" ”
"Don't dare to deceive the adult...... "Blacksmith Liu sighed depressedly and said, "The villain always feels that this knife has not yet been completed, and I hope that the adult will be lenient for a few more days, the villain thinks...... Would like to try a few more times. ”
The craftsmen's pursuit of excellence is a very good quality.
Wei Shao listened to Blacksmith Liu's words, and was very relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, then try a few more times, you don't have to regret it, this knife is enough to kill the prestige of the Liao people, and when you succeed, I will definitely ask the general for a reward!" ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of whirring and shouting outside.
When the people in the workshop heard the noise, they came out and saw a group of soldiers carrying all kinds of furniture and things to the bow and crossbow camp, and some of them were holding basins and buckets, and they looked at the battle as if they were going to move.
The chief bookkeeper went over and stopped a man and asked, "What are you doing, you mighty ones?" ”
"The general said that there is a Chinese girl who will live in the bow and crossbow camp, and she is now decorating the house."
Young Eunuch Wei's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly walked towards the bow and crossbow camp!
There was no movement in the row of houses that had been built for the craftsmen, but a tent had appeared out of thin air in the open space not far away! At the moment, the soldiers were carrying furniture to the tents!
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Ridiculous! "Young Eunuch Wei was so angry that he shouted three times in a row!
When he saw two soldiers carrying an obviously too extravagant Luohan bed in, he finally couldn't bear it anymore! Turn around and walk towards the general's tent!
The master bookkeeper looked at the back of Young Eunuch Wei's angry crown, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, it's going to be noisy again......"
……
In the tent, Fu Tingye was discussing investigation countermeasures with several capable generals.
Last time, the Liao soldiers only sent a small team of men and horses to roam around, although all of them were annihilated, but the purpose was unknown, which was very unusual.
Someone outside reported: "General Qiyu! The young superintendent of the ordnance superintendent, Lord Wei Han asked to see him. ”
Fu Tingye: "It's just in time, let him in." ”
Sensing that someone had lifted the curtain and came in, Fu Tingye circled a few positions on the sand table in front of him, and said without raising his head: "Master Wei, come over and see, are these places suitable for installing traps?" The Liao soldiers will wander here, for fear that they have another purpose, and I suspect they have set a trap. ”
Young Eunuch Wei walked over with a calm face, endured his breath and carefully observed the position on the sand table, and replied: "It is indeed an excellent place to set up a mechanism. ”
Fu Tingye pondered for a moment and said, "Master Wei will select a few craftsmen, and follow the team to these places to investigate and investigate during the day tomorrow, and if you find a trap, you will immediately disassemble it." ”
Eunuch Wei bowed and said yes.
Fu Tingye ordered another soldier to arrange for people and horses, and then asked everyone to disperse.
The soldiers went out one after another, but the young eunuch Wei stubbornly did not move.
Fu Tingye couldn't help frowning deeply when he saw Young Eunuch Wei behaving like this......
For this young eunuch of the ordnance superintendent, he has always had a headache.
Because this is an extremely difficult old fellow!
In three days, they came to him and made all kinds of demands in the name of petitioning for the people!
Last month, he said that the craftsmen were so tired of their work that their annual leave should be extended by one day and paid in advance.
Last month, he said that the officers and men in the army do not cherish weapons, and those who damage them abound, and military regulations should be increased, and those who damage weapons should accept the punishment of the rod!
Last month, he said that the food of the ordnance supervisor was too poor! Craftsmen can't eat enough and don't have the strength to work!
……
In short, as long as it is related to the ordnance supervisor, craftsmen, and weapons, he is indispensable!
If you ignore him, he won't be able to kneel down for a long time, and play the trick of Wenchen's death! Like a fly, if you can't kill him, he will disgust you.
Fu Tingye really didn't have a problem with him.
Beat out with a stick? People are sixty or seventy years old, and Fu Tingye is really afraid that he will be killed with a stick.
Although the young eunuch is only an eight-rank official, he is in charge of the craftsman, Wei Han has been a young eunuch for nearly 20 years, and he is very prestigious among the folk craftsmen.
That's it, I'm going to say goodbye to the old man and return to my hometown, so I'll put up with him for another two years.
Fu Tingye asked, "What's the matter with Master Wei?" ”
Wei Han never looked up, and replied: "Dare to ask the general, why do you want to call women into the camp!" ”
Fu Tingye had expected it, and replied lightly: "Miss Hua is the person who will be invited to assist Liang Wensheng in making the bow together. ”
Young Eunuch Wei was stunned, "Liang Wensheng? …… Liang Wensheng's drawings have already been read by the officials! It simply won't work! He's so ambitious all day long, it's just nonsense! ”
"It really didn't work before, but after Miss Hua improved the drawbacks, you can give it a try."
Young Eunuch Wei was even more excited when he heard this, "How can a general listen to a woman?!" If it spreads out, what will it do to put the face of all the craftsmen in our ordnance superintendent?! ”
Fu Tingye's gaze was slightly cold, "I didn't know that the face of the weapons supervisors and craftsmen was more important than improving the bow and crossbow?" ”
Young Eunuch Wei's face changed greatly, "The lower officials don't dare!" The subordinate just thinks that the general's move is too ridiculous! Let the woman make weapons, but I'm afraid that in the end, I will end up with a ridiculous result! Checkmate! Think again! ——”
At the end of the day, almost hoarse!
Fu Tingye glanced at him in annoyance, turned around and sat down, and said expressionlessly: "I have made up my mind, no need to say more." ”
"Is the general really insisting on this?!" Wei Han said bitterly, "Even if you let the Qingzhou camp become a laughing stock, will you not hesitate?" ”
Fu Tingye: "Why did Lord Wei decide that he would have become a laughing stock, rather than a discerning minister?" ”
"It's ridiculous for women to make soldiers, and it's even more whimsical to want to make a bow with a range of 400 paces! The general asked this woman to enter the camp, so what did the soldiers in the camp think? What do the craftsmen who called the armory supervisor think?! ”
Fu Tingye sneered, "What about women entering the camp?" Young Eunuch Wei, if there is a slightest possibility, Ben will try, not to mention a woman, even if it is a dog, run to Ben and tell Ben that he can make this bow, Ben will let it try! ”
Wei Han looked at Fu Tingye dumbfounded, and was speechless for a long time.
In the middle of the night, Young Eunuch Wei swept his sleeves and saluted, his gray beard hanging down, adding a little old.
He said bitterly: "Since the general insists on this, the subordinate has nothing to say, but the weapons made by the ordnance supervisor are all masculine and fierce things, and women are naturally obscure, so it is not suitable to enter our military weapons superintendent, so as not to damage the masculinity of our soldiers." ”
Fu Tingye stared at Wei Han coldly, and his tone was extremely cold: "Lord Wei wants to threaten the general?" ”
"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials are just eight-grade petty officials, what they say, what they do, everything is for the sake of my Daqi army and people, the so-called loyalty is against the ear, and I hope the general will think deeply." Wei Han bowed, "The lower official retired." ”
