Chapter 72: Let Emperor Lao Tzu be so forbearing, Lord Ye has this qualification (ask for more)
"Dumbfounded?"
"It's right to return the Beijing official, yes, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, he has to be dumbfounded!"
Lao Liu, the captain of the convoy transporting iron ore, can be said to be very proud when he said such a sentence.
You have to be proud!
The official from the capital came to their small county, but it was as if he had never entered the city!
Their reaction is enough to prove their amazing talent of Lord Ye, and it is also enough to prove how happy they are as the people under Lord Ye's jurisdiction.
In fact, Lao Liu and the rest of the transport convoy were not prisoners of re-education through labor, they were local residents who were serious about what was going on.
For them, it's just a decent salary!
Of course, there are many people who earn good wages, and the reason why they are willing to do this hard job is also to contribute to the military industry of Yanmen County.
It can also be said to contribute to the children in the barracks!
Not bad
Many of these people were uncles and fathers of the Yanmen garrison.
The reason why there is such a relationship is because of the 'military household system' set by Zhu Yuanzhang!
Once it is designated as a military family, then it can only serve in the army for generations, or the kind that cannot be delayed in agricultural training and combat readiness!
Not only are many of them uncles and fathers of the Yanmen garrison, but even half of the craftsmen in the arsenal are uncles and fathers of the Yanmen garrison!
Ye Qing didn't hand over everything to the labor prisoners, and no one in the arsenal was a labor prisoner, all of them were trusted local sons and daughters.
If it weren't for Ye Qing's greeting, the labor camp prisoners led by this 'No. 88 prisoner' could only mine honestly, and they definitely didn't have the honor of going to the arsenal to do chores!
And at this moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang, who won this honor, looked at Lao Liu with a smug face, and also pressed down the fire in his heart.
At the same time, he also smiled helplessly: "Your brother is right, the emperor is here, and he has to be dumbfounded!" ”
For Zhu Yuanzhang's such a 'sensible' agreement, Lao Liu also nodded with satisfaction, and beckoned them to follow, but they couldn't delay production.
And he didn't notice at all that when Zhu Yuanzhang said the words 'Emperor Laozi', it was obviously much more important than other words!
Mao Xiang and others, who were following Zhu Yuanzhang, looked at the backs of Zhu Yuanzhang and Lao Liu chatting while walking, and they couldn't believe it.
Is this still the decisive Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace?
Even if you make a private visit to inspect the people's situation in the capital, you won't be able to endure it to this point!
Thinking of this, they also took a look at it again, this is far larger than the Ordnance Workshop under the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, which is several times larger than the Yanmen Arsenal!
Looking at this scene, they immediately understood why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to endure it to this point.
It can only be said that Ye Qing, the seven-grade county official, has the qualifications to let Zhu Yuanzhang endure to this point!
Soon, they followed Lao Liu's motorcade, entered the gate of the arsenal, and walked on the ten-zhang wide factory avenue!
"Stop!"
"Routine check!"
It was just when Zhu Yuanzhang and Lao Liu were in charge of escorting the first car that they had just stepped on the factory avenue, they were stopped by the guards.
The sudden reflection made Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and others blink quickly.
The silver armor on the bodies of these soldiers can be said to be polished like a mirror!
As far as their armor and standard saber are concerned, it can be said that they completely exceed the craftsmanship level of the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry!
"That's it!"
"You can let it go!"
After the inspection, the guards immediately returned to their posts and stood up.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and the others, while just lowering their heads, followed Lao Liu and them to the inside while holding the cart.
But the equipment of these ordinary soldiers is deeply imprinted in their minds.
An ordinary sergeant can do all the limbs, chest and back with armor, and if 10,000 troops with such equipment rebel, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, they immediately had a similar idea at the same time, that is, these people should be people who support the façade, so they are so well equipped, just like their best-equipped pro-army Duweifu pro-army.
Their armor can be said to be very beautiful, but it is hardly used in actual combat.
After all, they are pro-army, if they all wear that beautiful armor to fight, then it is either the end of the Ming Dynasty or the end of the emperor!
In their opinion, it is absolutely impossible to equip an ordinary sergeant with armor on a large scale so well.
You must know that making a set of armor that is almost completely armored is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also costly with consumables!
Thinking of this, they who have always lowered their heads, and their frowns have also stretched slightly!
But just as they were about to enter the first workshop on the left, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately turned around and looked straight at these guards wearing bright silver armor and carrying standard sabers at their waists.
Looking at this top-secret environment surrounded by mountains and usually not a ghost, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a bad premonition in his heart:
"In this top-secret place, where no birds usually fly, is it necessary for them to hold up the façade?"
"Could it be that this is the armor of ordinary soldiers?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the crossbowmen who surrounded and captured them, as well as the soldiers who overlooked the whole city from the watchtower in the city and ensured the security of the whole city at all times.
"Their armor and weapons are so good!"
“......”
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang began to think about it as early as when he saw that the equipment of those soldiers in the city was far better than that of the garrisons in other places.
However, in his opinion, Ye Qing made those sergeants who could be seen by Beiyuan and other foreign merchants at any time so well equipped, just to support the façade!
At the same time, it was also to give Wang Baobao an illusion of them.
An illusion that all the garrisons of Yanmen County are all well-equipped!
After all, the garrison in the city at all times is less than two thousand people!
Since he Ye Qing can develop Yanmen County so well in three years, he can still do it with two thousand sets of sophisticated equipment.
But looking at the scene in front of him, he felt that Ye Qing's two thousand sets of sophisticated equipment were not difficult at all!
Thinking of this, the look of fear in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes increased again!
"What are you looking at?"
"Get the iron ore to the iron-making furnace quickly!"
Under Lao Liu's reproachful urging, Zhu Yuanzhang took his people and began to unload the goods.
They pulled the cart and walked from one end of the workshop to the other of the workshop, and they were drenched in sweat just by walking all the way.
After all, it's an ironmaking workshop with very high temperatures!
But none of them took care of the sweat on their faces, allowing it to collect on their chins and then drip to the ground one after another.
It's just that their attention has long been focused on this never-before-seen ironmaking process!
And outside the window behind Zhu Yuanzhang, Ye Qing just looked at them like this!
In Ye Qing's opinion, if nothing else, in this arsenal, he would be able to completely determine the identities of these people.
Whether it is a spy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty or a messenger of the imperial court, you can know it immediately! ......
