When the craftsman arrived, Wang Siqi also added a lot of confidence, and the next thing he needed to do was very simple, that is, to build his own iron-making workshop belonging to the Baoyuan Bureau in the fastest time, after all, if he couldn't make iron by himself.

The price of the iron furnace will never drop to what he said in front of Zhu Di before... So that everyone in the Ming Dynasty can afford it.

"There are plenty of people... We can't be idle, and we can't stop recruiting workers here! As long as there are craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry who are willing to come to Baoyuan Bureau, then we all want it! ”

When Feng Zongwu heard this, his words were quite straightforward.

Immediately said: "Lord Wang.. You can rest assured that you can leave this matter of recruiting craftsmen to me, the officials of our Baoyuan Bureau are not only limited to the entrance of the Baoyuan Bureau and the Ministry of Industry, and now even the "Beijing Daily" can see our recruitment news! ”

"As long as those craftsmen see it, I don't believe they don't like it!"

"Good!"

...

Nowadays, the technique of iron-making in the Ming Dynasty is still relatively traditional, of course, this is a more euphemistic statement, in fact, it is relatively backward, but this backwardness is relative to later generations.

If you put it in the context of the current era.

Da Ming is still an absolute father!

There is no doubt about that.

It's just that just when Wang Siqi was considering what method should be used to make iron, an uninvited guest from outside Baoyuan came to visit.

Zhu Gaoyao looked at the Baoyuan Bureau in front of him, and he couldn't see too many expressions on his face.

"This is the Treasure Source Bureau?"

"His Royal Highness King Zhao.. This is the Treasure Source Bureau! ”

"Hmph. It's just a place to mint coins and print money for the imperial court, but it makes Wang Siqi create a good atmosphere! ”

After finishing speaking, there was a group of followers behind him.

Raised his feet and entered the gate of the Baoyuan Bureau.

At this moment, I met Wang Yihuan who was about to go out, and other officials might not be able to help but come for a while, but Wang Yihuan is from everyone after all.

Hurriedly stepped forward: "His Royal Highness King Zhao.."

"Where's Wang Siqi?"

"Lord Wang.. in the backyard. ”

"Take me!"

Seeing that the expression on Zhu Gaosui's face was like a dark cloud, Wang Yihuan suddenly saw that King Zhao was not a good person today, after all, no one had heard of King Zhao's visit before today.

Wang Yihuan didn't dare to refuse, so he could only hurriedly say: "His Royal Highness King Zhao will go with me, and I will lead the way, but Lord Wang has important things to do, and he will come to greet His Highness when I report it." ”

Inexplicably, Zhu Gaosui arrived at the Baoyuan Bureau.

Hearing Wang Yihuan's words, Wang Siqi's face couldn't help but show a little doubt, after all, only the eldest and second eldest of the Zhu family had close contact with him before, and now the third child also came to join in the fun.

"Lord Wang.. So what are we going to do? ”

"What to do? No matter what, I have to go to greet His Royal Highness, as for what King Zhao wants to do... It can only be a move. ”

Not for a while.

Wang Siqi walked quickly to the backyard pavilion and saw Zhu Gaosui.

"Wang Siqi, the superintendent of the Baoyuan Bureau, greetings to His Royal Highness the King of Han!"

"Come on! It's free.. This king didn't come to listen to your compliments, but I want to hear if you have taken away all the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, and the ordnance construction has been affected! ”

Hearing Zhu Gaoyi's questioning, Wang Siqi suddenly fell a big stone in his heart.

The third child came, a little panicked.

But as long as he knows why the third child came, then he has no psychological burden, otherwise the things that have been guessing and guessing have not been figured out, and the time will be tossed first.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao.. Xia Guan really doesn't know what His Royal Highness said about the abduction of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, where His Royal Highness King Zhao knows, it can only be said that it is all nonsense! ”

"Ministry of Industry, that's the mother's family of the Baoyuan Bureau!"

"In the past, Baoyuan Bureau was also a child from the Ministry of Industry! How can I do such a thing, here, I can promise His Royal Highness King Zhao that Xia Guan has never done such a thing, and he can't do such a thing! ”

Listening to Wang Siqi's categorical justification, Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly.

He shook his head and said, "Do you think that this king will come to you directly without knowing anything?" Since this king said that you did it, you did it, and this king still has real evidence to tell you that you did it! ”

"Since you said you didn't do it, then let me ask you, where are the nearly 200 craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry? And most importantly: There are fifty or sixty of them who are craftsmen who originally built ordnance, and you know that this ordnance is a secret of the imperial court, and if it leaks out of you, you will not be able to cut off a hundred heads! ”

At the beginning of accepting those craftsmen who were originally responsible for building ordnance in the Ministry of Industry, Wang Siqi knew that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect that this time it was not Zhu Gaochi or Zhu Gaochu who came to the Baoyuan Bureau for the Ministry of Industry, but it became Zhu Gaosui.

"So that's it!"

"His Royal Highness King Zhao.. These craftsmen were not captured by the ministers, but because they liked the working environment of the Baoyuan Bureau, they voluntarily came to the Baoyuan Bureau through the recruitment process of the Baoyuan Bureau! ”

"Nonsense!"

Hearing Wang Siqi's words, Zhu Gaosui was furious.

Immediately raised his hand, pointed at Wang Siqi's nose and reprimanded: "Without your Baoyuan Bureau as a backer for those craftsmen, even if they are bold, they will not dare to leave their own workshop, let alone take refuge in you Wang Siqi, you had better make it clear to this king now!" ”

"Otherwise, this king will even wonder if you are a remnant of the previous dynasty, deliberately came to spy on my Ming ordnance techniques, if you can't say it clearly... Hum! This king is going to give you a different place! ”

Outside of the words, Zhu Gaosui's words undoubtedly carried a strong sense of threat.

It's just that this is so plain as water in Wang Siqi's eyes, and his expression doesn't even change much, he just continues to explain lightly: "This is what the emperor meant!" ”

The implication is that it doesn't matter if you don't know..

Why don't you go back and ask your father?

Zhu Gaosui's heart at this moment can be described as gritting his teeth, he was training soldiers in the military camp outside the city, and he didn't have anything to do.

Suddenly, the Ministry of Industry came to the outside of the camp.

said that I said that I would change the ordnance for myself before, I'm afraid it's going to be yellow, and this yellow is not as simple as postponing the time, it's just that the Ministry of Industry can't do it..

If you delay this, you will be killed.

Zhu Gaosui was unwilling in his heart, and he was furious, and he couldn't wait to pull Wu Zhong's collar and question the other party!

"Where's my money?". Oh no, "Where is my ordnance?" ”

However, Wu Zhong waved his hand and explained that if he killed the head, he had to kill Wang Siqi's head first, and all the ordnance he promised was gone, precisely because Wang Siqi took away all the craftsmen who originally built the ordnance, and there were not enough craftsmen, even if he had great ability, he couldn't get anything.
