Li Wei called out to the good guy, there are more than 9,000 people at once, this is a big factory!

He had never been a leader before, and he felt that he was only inferior to the leader in a chair under his buttocks, but now sitting in the leader's chair, he suddenly felt a little panicked.

In fact, when this squire said that it is easy and easy, the following things have their own people below to do, and if there is something, you just need to tell the people below to do it, you only need to supervise it, and it is not impossible to touch the fish occasionally.

But Li Wei is not such a person, just like when he was in charge of the war, although he was reluctant, he was serious about making products, and he couldn't let it go.

Li Wei carefully asked about the situation of the Ordnance Bureau, and then asked them to take him to the Ordnance Bureau.

The Ordnance Bureau was a little far away, and the two of them took Li Wei for an hour before arriving, and he was so tired that he was not light.

When I arrived at the Ordnance Bureau, someone had already greeted me at the door.

"This is Xu Yong, the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, and Lu Ti, the deputy envoy."

Both of them are petty officials of the ninth grade, and when they saw Li Wei, a member of the third grade, they hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

Li Wei nodded and didn't say anything more.

After everyone entered, it was busy inside, and groups of craftsmen were running back and forth, in a hurry, and various workshops were all over the place.

Guan Ziming and Sun Jian took him around the workshops and introduced them one by one.

There is a blacksmith's workshop for making swords, and the heat is blowing, and the blacksmiths are bare-chested with hammers, and with one hand they beat with tools on the red-hot iron sheets, which have to be heated in the furnace when they are cold.

There are leather armor that also need to be beaten, boiled, and so on, and the process is very complicated.

The production of bows and arrows is also, the materials used are also various, there are animal horns, tendons, wood hemp rope, etc., at the beginning Li Wei wondered, how can this Ministry of Industry even manage birds and beasts, it turned out to be an important source of materials for making bows and arrows!

There is also an iron-making blast furnace, Li Wei specially wanted to come forward to take a look.

"Be careful, sir!"

Guan Ziming was immediately startled and stopped him, this thing is not safe, and it will be a big trouble to hurt this new waiter at that time.

Li Wei thought about it and knew that this thing was not a joke, so he kept a distance and circled around the big blast furnace.

This blast furnace was very similar to the sketch he had in mind, and Li Wei asked Xu Yong to summon the craftsman in charge to inquire about the structure carefully.

The craftsman cautiously came to him, for fear that he would be punished for saying and doing the wrong thing.

"You don't have to be afraid, just tell the truth."

Li Wei comforted, he turned around and found that the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau were even worse than those of the War Bureau, not to mention their shabby clothes, and their faces were yellow, they looked malnourished, and some were even skinny.

"Yes, yes, the villain obeys!"

The craftsman still looked panicked.

Li Wei had no choice but to ask.

The craftsman gave a general description of the structure of the blast furnace, and after listening to it, Li Wei found that their current iron-making blast furnace was not much different from what he knew, and the structure was very similar.

"Well, I see, you go down first."

"Thank you, sir, thank you."

The craftsman let out a sigh of relief and withdrew.

Li Wei shook his head, turned around and walked away.

Guan Ziming and Sun Jian immediately followed, to be honest, the two of them actually rarely come here, they are also five or six grade officials, although they are not as good as Li Wei, the big man of the third grade, but they are also big officials, this kind of dirty place where craftsmen work, they generally do not come.

Just as everyone was about to leave, an old craftsman with a basket on his back staggered by, probably seeing several of them suddenly turn around, his heart was nervous, and his feet were careless, and even the people with the basket fell to the ground, blocking their way to leave.

The old man's face was pale, and he didn't care if the fall hurt or not, so he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!"

The place where the old man had fallen was still a short distance away from them, and the scraps scattered on the ground did not splash on them.

Li Wei frowned slightly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man. However, before he could move, Sun Jian, who had been walking impatiently next to him, became angry first, stepped forward a few steps and kicked the old man.

"Old thing, you are blind, you dare to block the way of Lord Shilang, I don't know how far away!"

", stop!"

Li Wei was shocked, scolded angrily, hurriedly took two steps, and kicked Sun Jian away with an unceremonious kick.

"Bastard, how can you treat the old man like this, your sage books have been read in the dog's belly!"

Li Wei scolded angrily while helping the old man up.

Sun Jian was kicked and almost fell to the ground, and finally stabilized his body, and then his face suddenly became ugly, although Li Weiguan was several levels older than him, but everyone was an official, and he was kicked in public, which was a bit excessive!

An anger rushed up, and he was about to step forward to question, Guan Ziming frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Sun Jian, he knew that this Sun Jian had something to do with it, and Li Wei had just arrived, but Shangguan was Shangguan after all, and the official was a senior who crushed people to death, and the squire was several levels older than them.

Sun Jian quickly calmed down after being pulled in, and did not speak again with a calm face.

"My lord, he is just a craftsman, so why be angry."

Guan Ziming played a round road.

"Bastard, is it true that in your sages the craftsman is not a man? Don't you understand respecting the old and loving the young? ”

Li Wei didn't give face at all, and even reprimanded him.

Guan Ziming's face changed, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, Li Wei had a very bad reputation in the court, everyone knew that he climbed up by relying on the holy favor, and he had neither fame nor qualifications, such a person is really difficult to convince the public.

However, Li Wei is their top boss after all, although he doesn't dare to say that he will kill them directly, but if he really wants to treat them, they will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Guan Ziming didn't dare to offend, so he had to endure his displeasure and accompany his smiling face: "Yes, yes, my lord is right." ”

After speaking, he also pulled Sun Jian.

Sun Jian reluctantly followed and said, "What the adults teach is this." ”

"Daddy!"

At this time, a young man suddenly ran over from a distance and shouted at the old man who had just been helped up by Li Wei.

Li Wei's anger decreased slightly, and he handed the old man over to his son.

The young man supported the old man, looking at the group of senior officials, his eyes mixed with fear and vigilance.

"Take care of your father."

Li Wei gave an order to this young man, and then shouted loudly to Guan Ziming and other officials: "In the future, no one is allowed to beat and scold craftsmen again, even if the craftsman is at fault, he must report to me first, if anyone dares to beat and scold people at will, don't blame me for being unkind to him!" ”

Hearing this, Guan Ziming and Sun Jian, as well as Xu Yong and Lu Ti, all looked at each other, and they were very puzzled by Li Wei's order.

"My lord, these craftsmen are often lazy and slack off, if they are not spurred, I am afraid that they will not be able to complete the task assigned by His Majesty, and then they will be blamed, and the officials will not be able to bear the guilt."

Xu Yong replied embarrassedly, in Daming, don't say that these officials with official status, even if they are unpopular stewards such as foremen and supervisors, it is common to beat and scold craftsmen.

Li Wei was unmoved: "You don't have to worry about this, I am responsible for completing the task, you just need to obey the order!" ”

After graduating, he started as a low-level worker in the workshop, and worked hard to get that salary, although he was not beaten and scolded, but he had a personal experience of the hardship and tiredness.

Looking at these craftsmen again, it is much more difficult than he was at the beginning, and he will be beaten and scolded for such hard work, he will never allow it!

When Xu Yong heard this, he paused and agreed: "Yes, it's all up to the adults!" ”

Guan Ziming shook his head secretly, and Sun Jian sneered in his heart, in their opinion, this Li Shilang didn't know the way to be an official at all, and he would take care of everything when he came up, and he would definitely suffer in the future.
