I think he has been an official for decades, and he has been up and down in the officialdom, and then experienced the turmoil of the previous dynasty, and finally he can only be here, as a small postman, and the ambition in his heart has never had a chance to be realized.

Now that Chu Mo personally spoke, saying that he would reuse him in the future, how could this not make Fang Dou happy?

It can really be said that the clouds are open and the moon is bright!

When Fang Dou came back to his senses, Chu Mo had already followed Li Jin into the carriage and left directly.

"Father-in-law Li, do you also want to ask Gu, who do you want to support?"

On the carriage, Chu Mo saw that Li Jin had been staring at him, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped, so he asked casually.

Li Jin nodded: "Judging from the current situation, Emperor Uncle Zhao Ning is indeed more suitable to be the emperor of Zhao than the new emperor Zhao Zheng." But speaking of which, the emperor's uncle Zhao Ning is not orthodox after all! His Royal Highness really wants to support Zhao Ning?"

"When did Gonggong Li become so concerned about state affairs?" Chu Mo squinted his eyes and said in a playful tone.

Li Jin smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the topic: "Your Highness, are we going back home?"

Chu Mo thought about it, but shook his head lightly: "No, go to the Maker Workshop first!"

"Why did Your Highness go to the Workshop? That place is smoky, dirty and smelly, if Your Highness has anything to do, just ask the old slave to do it for you. Li Jin was stunned, unable to guess Chu Mo's mind at all.

Chu Mo smiled: "It's okay, no matter what you say, you have to sell several batches of ordnance to Zhao Guo, it's better to go to the artifact workshop to take a look in person, so as not to make any mistakes." ”

Li Jin was stunned in her heart, so she didn't ask more.

The largest artifact workshop in the Chu State is located in the north of the capital, or rather, it has reached the outskirts of the city.

The perimeter of the workshop looks very large, and a high wall has been built on all sides, and a sentry tower has been built on the wall, and the entire workshop is heavily guarded inside and out.

After all, the Artifact Workshop is an extremely important place for any country, and the Chu State is no exception.

Almost every country's artery workshop must be firmly under the control of the imperial court.

Even if it is the material of the building, it must be strictly controlled.

In this way, even if someone secretly rebels and has no weapons, he will not be able to make any big waves.

A living example of this is the state of Zhao, which previously had two workshops, one of which was set up in Kyoto. The other place was set up at the border, in order to provide the border soldiers with ordnance in a timely manner, so as not to delay the fighters.

Unexpectedly, the artifact workshop located on the border was in the hands of Zhao Ning, the uncle of Emperor Zhao.

Then while secretly stationing troops, he used that artifact workshop to build a large number of weapons.

Just waiting for the death of the first emperor of Zhao State, Zhao Ning immediately rebelled, wanting to seize the throne of Zhao State.

Fortunately, the state of Chu closed the rest of the workshops outside Kyoto early on, firmly controlling them, and there were few large-scale wars in the state of Chu.

The weapons provided by this artifact workshop for the soldiers of the Chu State are more than enough.

Chu Mo followed Li Jin into the main gate of the artifact workshop and said to the guards and soldiers.

They sent someone to hurry up and invite the officials in charge of the workshop, and Chu Mo walked around the workshop.

As Li Jin said, as soon as I entered this workshop, there was a foul smell coming from the shop, which made people almost nauseated.

In addition, there is charcoal burning in it, so it has been shrouded in a cloud of gray dust and smoke, and the stuffy air is very uncomfortable.

Chu Mo walked for a while, and couldn't help frowning.

Li Jin observed his words and quickly persuaded on the side: "Your Highness, why don't we go to the officials guarding here to rest first?"

"It's okay!"

Chu Mo shook his head, gritted his teeth and continued walking.

He came to the workshop this time, in addition to selling ordnance to Zhao Guo, he also wanted to know about the situation of this workshop.

After all, this is a sharp blade of the Chu State, if there is a problem with this sharp blade, and he doesn't find the problem in time because it smells too bad here, it will really be too worthless.

The two seemed to wander aimlessly for a while, and then a few people in official uniforms hurriedly ran towards him.

"I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here in person, and Weichen has missed the welcome, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"It's okay, Lone came to visit suddenly this time, and I don't want to be too loud. ”

"Yes, yes, Weichen understands. ”

Chu Mo snorted, glanced at the person in front of him, and asked, "You are the official in charge of this artifact workshop?"

The man hurriedly replied: "Yes, Weichen is Zhu Tianyu, the organizer of the Kyoto Ware Workshop, and these are the deputy organizers Meng Xin, Ye Muliang, and General Xu Yixu, the guard of the Workshop!"

"Wechen meets His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Several people standing beside Zhu Tianyu also saluted Chu Mo one after another, and their expressions were very respectful.

"This is not a palace, so there is no need for so many etiquette. ”

Chu Mo nodded slightly, and silently wrote down the identities and appearances of these people, maybe they will be used in the future.

Just seeing the faces of these people, he didn't come to this trip in vain.

"Host Zhu, Gu wants to see the situation of this artifact workshop today, can you take Gu around to have a look, and explain one or two things to Gu by the way?" Chu Mo looked at Zhu Tianyu and got down to business.

Zhu Tianyu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "It is an honor for Weichen to serve His Highness." What exactly does His Highness want to see, Weichen will lead His Highness forward. ”

Seeing this, Chu Mo spread his hands lightly: "You are more familiar here than Gu, you decide." However, Lone's time is limited, you'd better take Lone to see some important places first, otherwise you will waste Lone's time, and Lone will not spare you!"

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

Zhu Tianyu was startled, and hurriedly made a gesture of please.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please come here!"

Soon, after walking around a few times, Chu Mo really realized that the inside of this artifact workshop was really big.

They walked around for nearly an hour, but only a quarter of the way they had gone.

It's like a small city, with criss-crossing streets separating the houses.

And the distance between each room is five meters away, so that even if one of the rooms is on fire, the fire will not spread quickly.

In addition, the houses are made of stone bricks or fired adobe bricks, so they are not prone to fires.

When he discovered this, Chu Mo secretly admired the person who built this workshop in the first place.

This man was a man of great skill, and not only did he know how to build houses out of adobe bricks, but he also dug ditches in the streets that crisscrossed them, and channeled the water of the river into them, so that the blacksmiths of the houses could access them at any time.

And within this workshop, the division of labor is also very clear, some areas are responsible for making broadswords, some are for spears, some are for shields, and some are for armor.

In short, each item of ordnance is divided into a zone. In this way, the raw materials used can be transported to one place in a unified manner, saving manpower for handling.

In case of any problems, the blacksmiths in the same area can immediately gather together to discuss solutions.

Such a plan is simply a miracle.
