In the midst of the echo, Wu Zhongzhong secretly thought to himself: If you want to fight with me, your kid's city is still too shallow.

"Since we're all a family, I'll just tell you directly... Nowadays, there is a shortage of iron in the Ministry of Industry, not only iron, but also craftsmen who are skilled in forging iron into steel.

Squinting his eyes and rubbing his hands together.

Where there is a little bit of the appearance of the Ministry of Works, if you pull it out to the streets and alleys for the people on the street to identify, it is estimated that no one can guess that he is the Ministry of Ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but it is more likely to guess which gentry and landlord he is.

Thinking of this, Wang Siqi couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and said: "Since my lord has said it so directly, if I refute the face of my mother's family again, wouldn't it be that I, Wang Siqi, am not ungrateful?" ”

"It's serious... It's serious! ”

Wu Zhong said as he spoke, but his eyes kept muttering in circles, and anyone could see what he was thinking.

Just when everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was the Baoyuan Bureau that had compromised, and it was finally easy to do.

Wu Zhong suddenly stood up and walked to Wang Siqi's side.

took Wang Siqi's hand and said: "They are all officials of the same dynasty, this time the Baoyuan Bureau can help at a critical time, the official will not forget the Baoyuan Bureau, and will not forget you Wang Siqi, if one day you can use the mother's family of the Ministry of Industry, you can rest assured, I will definitely find a way for you!" ”

Hiss...

Good fellow, he is a dignified yellow flower boy (calculated in days or weeks), but at this moment an old man with gray hair is holding his hand and saying these words like painting cakes.

This made Wang Siqi feel a chill in his heart.

Hurriedly pulled out his hand and said with a haha: "This is nature, this is nature!" Since Lord Shangshu has already said that it is his mother's family, I wonder if his mother's family can give Baoyuan Bureau some more dowry? ”

Wu Zhong was stunned.

Many of the officials present were stunned.

What's more, he couldn't help but think in his heart: This Wang Siqimo is not a fool? Is it possible that the iron materials borrowed by the Ministry of Industry, the borrowed workshops and craftsmen are still justified?

How can it be?

In this case, even if you want to take advantage of the opportunity, it shouldn't be now! Even if you have to go, it won't be all from the Baoyuan Bureau by then.

But Wu Zhong didn't think so, after all, in his eyes, Wang Siqi has always been a difficult little fox, not afraid that he wants things, but afraid that if he doesn't want anything, I'm afraid that he is really playing a small abacus behind his back, and immediately laughed heartily.

"Say! Now that the words have been said today, you have helped your mother's family so much, and my mother's head will naturally not be less expressed, you say, I listen, as long as you can do it, you will definitely do it! ”

Between his eyebrows and eyes, Wu Zhong had a strong look of confidence.

After all, in his opinion, as long as he enters the door of the Ministry of Industry, all the things of the Ministry of Industry, without the subordinate craftsmen and workshops, the Baoyuan Bureau will completely become a crab without tongs, then it will not be at the mercy of others, and it will be able to be cleaned up casually.

Therefore, Wu Zhong felt that most of the benefits that Wang Siqi could put forward at this moment had nothing to do with the Baoyuan Bureau, but wanted to go further in his career.

That is to go to a higher place.

The supervision of the Baoyuan Bureau, it sounds good to say, but in fact it is just a seven-grade official of the imperial court. If you say it, you have to be laughed at.

It's really nothing.

But just when Wu Zhong thought that he had planned everything, Wang Siqi said at this time: "Alas... In fact, there is nothing, mainly thinking that since we can do things for the Ministry of Industry, then we naturally have to arrange everything one by one, and we can't let our own family suffer at any time, right? ”

"So I thought that since we want to lend all the iron-striking craftsmen in the Baoyuan Bureau to the Ministry of Industry, in order to ensure the normal operation of the iron-making workshop, we need more craftsmen, so that we can replace each other!"

As he spoke, Wang Siqi's expression couldn't help but become sad.

At this scene, Wu Zhongzhong, who was watching it, was stunned, and couldn't help but look at it carefully, but he didn't see anything else in Wang Siqi's expression for a long time.

I only feel that this kid really wants to do something for the Ministry of Industry, but he is afraid that he will cause trouble to the Ministry of Industry, and he has some nostalgia and feelings for the Baoyuan Bureau that he has single-handedly supported.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhongzhong secretly said: Anyway, it will be the stuff of the Ministry of Industry in the future, since this is the case, it is better to fulfill this kid's idea, even if there is a problem, you can figure out how this treasure source bureau can build a complete iron-making workshop in a short period of time, as long as you can master this secret, it is not impossible for the Ministry of Industry to make a iron-making field of its own in the future!

"That's... Alas! Don't be so sad, the Ministry of Industry is just borrowing, and it will still be returned to the Baoyuan Bureau in the future, but now the main thing is that time is too anxious! The northern expedition was imminent, and the baggage was about to be loaded and transported to the north. ”

"How many craftsmen are needed, you name it!"

"This matter, the official should come down... At that time, these craftsmen who were sent over will be sent to the ironmaking workshop of the Baoyuan Bureau first, and those skilled workers who make iron and steel will be sent back! ”

"Huh? Lord Shangshu.. Do you agree? ”

"Agreed!" Wu Zhong nodded.

Wang Siqi's expression was like the silly white sweetness of later generations, and he laughed and said in an instant: "If this is the case, then the Baoyuan Bureau will be able to better help the Ministry of Industry to build ordnance, the Iron Baoyuan Bureau has ready-made ones, and the craftsmen who make iron will not be able to use them for a while, so it is better to send them all to the Baoyuan Bureau, right?" ”

"You want so many people?"

Wu Zhong's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect Wang Siqi's kid's appetite to be so big, you must know that this is the Ministry of Industry, this is the capital, just in and around the capital there are many workshops that do not know how many belong to the Ministry of Industry.

Now as soon as Wang Siqi speaks, he wants all the current blacksmiths in the Ministry of Industry.

That's not a small number... Even the number of craftsmen who are now in the capital is enough to reach thousands.

"So many people? Can your workshop really be able to accommodate it? You must know that the entire craftsmen who know how to smelt iron in the capital, even if you don't count those apprentices, there are only two or three thousand skilled craftsmen! ”

Wu Zhong hesitated, but Wang Siqi was ecstatic.

But his expression did not change in the slightest: "Master Shangshu, I want the apprentice too!" ”
