"Hurry, hurry! Check them all, especially the gunpowder factory, if something happens, you nine clans will be punished! ”

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The Fifth Highness came down, and everyone heard the news, so whether it was a craftsman or a supervisor, everyone nervously checked their own territory, for fear that something would happen.

Nearly 1,600 craftsmen, hundreds of eunuchs, and hundreds of guards patrolled one after another.

For a time, the armor factory was noisy, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

It's not that everyone makes a fuss, but the armor factory has often had accidents in history.

In the 33rd year of Wanli, the officers and soldiers of the three major battalions of the capital went to the armor factory to receive gunpowder, and the officials Zang Chao and Wang Quan were imprisoned because of the old gunpowder clumping, so they ordered the craftsmen to split it with an iron axe.

Gunpowder and muskets were fired at the same time 100 paces away, Zang Chaohe burned to death on the spot more than 10 officials including Fu Zhong and Li Zhongbao and other 82 soldiers, and the craftsmen and nearby residents in the factory were killed and injured in an unbelievable number, and more than 30 workshops were burned down.

After the incident, Wang Zhong and Wang Quan, the internal supervisors of the factory, were arrested and imprisoned, and the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau was also imprisoned.

In the fifteen years that followed, there were occasional fires in the armor factory, almost every few years.

If something happens here with the existence of Zhu Youzhen's identity, the Zhu Jiu clan is really not a joke.

Everyone's foreheads were sweating, but it was Zhu Youzhen, sitting in the main seat of the hall of the internal officials of the armor factory, drinking tea and eating snacks.

Next to him, Jin Yiwei and Cao Huachun were lighting the material book of the armor factory.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it has been inspected, the armor factory is very safe, you can go and inspect it."

After six quarters of an hour, Sun Liang, the official in prison, ran back with sweat and wet clothes, while Zhu Youzhen glanced at Cao Huachun.

Seeing this, Cao Huachun ordered someone to summarize the specific number of each book in his hand, and finally finished summarizing before he said:

"Your Highness, there are 1,592 registered military craftsmen in the armor factory, and 3,600 pieces of armor, waist knives and other weapons are made every year."

"Yes, yes......" Sun Liang nodded continuously, while Cao Huachun glanced at him and continued:

"Among the 26 guards of Shangzhi, the four guards of Jinwu, the three guards of Yulin, the five guards of the government army, and the left guard of the tiger ben have received 72,800 sets of armor, waist knives and other weapons in the past four years."

"At present, in the armor factory, there are still 16,004 flying saucer hats, 13,000 phoenix wing helmets, 5,008 waist-length armor, 14,000 chain mail, 6,000 whole armor, 32,000 cloth armor, and 27,000 arm armor."

"In addition, there are six thousand fish scales and nine thousand six hundred."

Speaking of this, Cao Huachun paused, giving Zhu Youzhen a time to react, and Zhu Youzhen also said directly:

"Except for the armor, all the others are loaded for me, and the flying saucer hat, phoenix wing helmet, and arm armor are all taken away."

"Ah...... This ......" Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words that he was going to empty the armor factory, Sun Liang broke out in a cold sweat, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but he didn't dare to refute it.

Without waiting for him to think of good words to refute, Cao Huachun continued to report:

"60,000 mille-feuille shoes, 76,000 mandarin duck wars, 6,000 goose feather knives, 12,000 long knives, 3,000 long axes, 93,000 swallowtail shields, 5,003 spears, 600 party rakes, 4,000 waist knives, and ...... gourd hammers"

A long list of cold weapon reports, Zhu Youzhen listened to this, and when Cao Huachun finished reporting, he spoke:

"Forty-eight thousand layers of shoes were taken away, seventy-two thousand mandarin ducks were taken away, and wild goose feather knives, long knives, waist knives, spears, gourd hammers, and plum blossom hammers were all taken away."

"Yes......" Cao Huachun bowed to indicate that he understood, and continued to report to the firearm:

"9,03 bolts of thunderbolt artillery (infantry guns), more than 1.3 million lead pieces weighing eight coins, 7,02 pieces of Dalian bead guns (multi-barreled guns), 3,06 guns (artillery self-defense guns), 120 generals (field heavy artillery)"

"One hundred and forty Furlong machines, seven thousand two hundred three-eyed guns, three thousand two thousand Franc machines, one thousand two thousand five thunder god machines, three thousand Lu Mi guns, and six hundred guns"

"There are 600 tiger squat cannons, 400 general cannons, 1.23 million catties of gunpowder, and 30,000 stone bullets."

For......

Suddenly, the teacup in Zhu Youzhen's hand touched the teacup, and Cao Huachun thought that Zhu Youzhen was unhappy, so he closed his mouth.

He didn't know, Zhu Youzhen was not unhappy, but afraid.

Hearing that there was more than 1.2 million catties of gunpowder beside him, Zhu Youzhen wanted to scold his mother:

"Which bastard did the architectural design? Pile so much gunpowder in the capital? Blowing up, who do you want to die? ”

But scolding and scolding, he was thinking about finishing things quickly and leaving, so he said directly:

"Just take away the firearms and the Wansheng Franc machine, carry the gun, and the general and the Furlong cannon, take away 100,000 catties of gunpowder, take away 1 million pounds of lead, and take away all the stone bullets."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen looked at Sun Liangdao, the internal official of the prison:

"Tell the craftsmen of the armor factory to check all the things I want before distributing, I don't blame those who are unqualified, but if they are distributed, they will blow up and the whole family will be exiled to Yunnan!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Sun Liang nodded hurriedly, he also knew that the imperial court craftsmen were cutting corners on firearms.

But he even knew that Zhu Youzhen was going to be brought to the four guards and one battalion, maybe he would start it himself if he was happy, if he blew up, he Sun Liangke still had a lot of relatives in his hometown, and the nine clans may not be enough, but the three clans are definitely enough.

But the question now is not quality, it's ......

"Your Highness, this ...... There is no ...... of long live and the celebrant and the war bureau."

"I'll tell the emperor, you just have to check the loading, if the quality of the firearm is not good, write to tell me the reason, and then make up for it."

Sun Liang opened his mouth tremblingly, but was directly interrupted by Zhu Youzhen, but he was not unkind.

After saying the matter, he explained to Sun Liangdao:

"Armor factory artisan, you are also ready to prepare, I may have to leave a lot later."

"But don't worry, in the future, this armor factory, most of the time, will be directly supplied to the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

"You will be rewarded for doing things well, if you don't do it well, you won't have anything more to say."

"Yes, yes, slaves and maids should take His Highness's words to heart and check those warmakers day and night!" Sun Liang was overjoyed, thinking that he, an unpopular yamen, could actually climb the high branches of the Fifth Highness.

"Huachun, let's go." After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave, while Sun Liang led people away and nodded and followed the escort.

After Zhu Youzhen got into the carriage and left the armor factory, he changed from a flattering smile to a serious face, turned around and shouted to all the eunuchs:

"Did you hear His Highness's words?! Tell the group of military craftsmen below to check all the firearms, armor, and weapons for me, and in case of a bore, I want them to be buried with their whole family! ”

"Yes!"
