If the father-in-law of the fire-watching workshop calculates it carefully, it will be the grade of the wine, vinegar and noodles!”

On the edge of the recruit camp, good-quality houses have been built with wood for Wang Tong to live in and temporarily handle official duties.

After the training camp assessment and rewards were over, Wang Tong and Cai Nan came here. The weather in May was quite warm, the doors and windows of the wooden house were all open, and the hanging gauze curtains were blown and fluttered.

The wind blows into the house with a fishy smell, making people feel very comfortable. The Tianjin Acropolis of this era is very close to the sea. You can see the sea when you stand on the east gate.

Wang Tong sat in the seat with a relaxed expression. He smiled and asked Cai Nan, who was a little uneasy. There was no seat for Cai Nan. He bowed and nodded, and answered:

"Eunuch Lu is old. Emperor Shizong was a big firearm at that time. Eight out of ten were not used. The soldiers from the north and south were unwilling to ask for it. In those days, officials from the Ministry of War paid a full price to fight at the Ministry of Works. Six years ago, the Imperial Horse Supervision, the Imperial Supervision and the Ministry of Works were firearm workshops in various places in Zhili, and the other places were no different from the past. However, the firearm made by the Tianjin workshop managed by Eunuch Lu could have 40% of the good goods, which was considered the first-class credit. It gave Eunuch Feng, the manager of the officer. Otherwise, he would have been the middle-aged man who entered the palace and could not have any responsibilities in charge, so how could he do today?"

This is like most juren may not be able to be magistrates in their entire lives. They are not eunuchs from the inner study room and will never be in charge of business in this life.

However, it seems that Eunuch Lu is appreciated by someone, and his back is much more solid. For those who have never dealt with anything in the past, they will naturally not be despised by bad people like Cai Nan.

After hearing this, Wang Tong raised his hand and said:

"You sit down and drink a little tea first, and then make a decision later."

Cai Nan didn't dare to sit down. He did this job like this, and he was blind. He was also surprised that this little adult never delayed his work, so why did he still get up leisurely in this simple wooden house?

About half an hour later, when Cai Nan was a little impatient, the sound of horse hooves stopped outside the house, and someone outside called to report:

"Sir, Qiao Da brought it."

Wang Tong allowed a man in his forties who was over 40, walked into the house and knelt down to greet him as soon as he entered the door. It was Qiao Da, the foreman of the blacksmith workshop under Wang Tong.

"What are the things you asked about?

"When I say to the master, the masters who are currently working in our workshop say they can't make it. I have also gone to various places to ask about it in the past two days. The masters who can do this are all taking wages in the firearm workshop, and their lives are easy, so I don't want to go out.

Wang Tong nodded, turned to Cai Nan and said with a smile:

"It seems that we can't do it on our own. When you go back to the city and hand it over with me, Qiao Da, you can go back too, continue to inquire about this matter.

When several people went out, General Tan and Zhang Shiqiang and other confidants came in. General Tan hesitated and said:

"Master, there are only a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and weapons are just swords, guns, fire mirrors, because the role of Jinyi's personal army is to suppress the local area and monitor the government. Master, you are going to the workshop to inquire about this artillery. If you are targeted by someone with a heart, you may be taboo!"

Ma Sanbiao was wiping his waist knife there, not caring about the content of the discussion, but Zhang Shiqiang had a look of shock on his face. Li Hu's eyes widened, looking disbelief.

Wang Tong said in a deep voice:

"Just like these miscellaneous parts inside and outside Tianjin City, we use cannons to deal with them. Our recruits’ training camp are not afraid of them now. This cannon is of other use. Without this weapon, nothing can be done!"

When Wang Tong heard what Wang Tong said so decisively, no one dared to persuade him, but there was a look of confusion on his face. Wang Tong fell into deep thought there.

The practice on the training ground began again, and loud slogans came into the room. Ma Sanbiao and Li Hutou couldn't sit still. They looked at each other and wanted to walk outwards. Wang Tong suddenly spoke and ordered:

"I'll find a few people to go on the way. When the messenger from the capital arrives, he will immediately deliver it to me."

The Tianjin Acropolis not only had a turnover before the Beishi Transportation to the capital, but also had several rivers leading to Jizhen and the west of the northern Zhili River.

The imperial court placed the Zifang made by firearms here, considering the convenience of transportation. The import of iron and coal, and the transportation of the weapons to Jizhen, the capital, Xuanfu and even Liaozhen can be transported through water and sea routes.

Similarly, this official shop supplies firearms, iron, butterflies and various materials from several major border towns and major areas in the north, as well as labor hiring, and transportation of vehicles and ships. Every year, the imperial court's large sum of silver and spoils were transferred in, making the Tianjin firearm workshop supervision errands a fatal problem.

,Can

The emperor is far away and no one cares about it. A large amount of money, logistics, and logistics are very rich. If you can be in this position for several lifetimes, you will have endless food and clothing. It is very enjoyable.

This is different from the eunuchs who have broken up their faces and made money in other places. 50% of the things he made in the workshop he manages are available.

Although 50% are available, it has received the highest evaluation among the various military towns and camps. After all, the Ministry of Works can use less than 10% of the equipment, while other officials have supervised workshops.

In addition, Eunuch Lu reads little, but he is self-taught and understands the money he should give to the ancestors above. He never missed a point, which was 10% more than usual. After all, Eunuch Lu worked in the Tianjin Fireworks Workshop for a long time and became a perfect figure.

If you speak effectively, everything will not go well. In the good weather, Eunuch Lu is in his own office with a big temper. After so many years of pampering, he is not as delicate as the eunuch in the palace. Instead, he looks like a big man. If he hadn't had a beard, he would probably be thought to be a boat on the canal.

The little eunuchs who were not listening below and the foreman in the workshop were all in the main hall of the workshop office. Everyone stood down and didn't dare to speak out.

"You guys killed the 5,000 three-eyed rulings in Xuanfu were so urgent. How many have you done? Work will be suspended today. Could it be that you will wait until the supervision of the Imperial Horse Supervision comes to the point where you kill a few heads before you can do it!"

Everyone's heads lowered a lot again, and no one dared to say anything. Seeing this, Eunuch Lu became even more angry, pointing to the person who looked like a master in front and shouted:

"Fan Dazui, aren't you the most talkative person on weekdays? Why are you mute at this time? Tell me, come and give us an explanation!?"

The "Fan Dazui" he called to, raised his uncle's head in embarrassment, looked at the people around him, perhaps feeling his eyes, those people shrank even more, "Fan Dazui" cursed in his heart, but had to whisper:

"Eunuch Lu, the three craftsmen here here did not come to see you the day before yesterday."

"When we first recruited, we agreed to have twenty-five taels of silver per month. At such a price, even the salary of the Grand Secretary of the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty could not keep up. What else do they want? Why don't our family know about this matter?"

Fan Damou's voice was soft and said in a low voice:

"That day, my father-in-law and the grain-in-charge Eunuch Wan were having wine, and they went to bed when they came back. The young people also wanted to."

While he was talking, something inside suddenly flew over, subconsciously dodging, but a brush was thrown over, and Eunuch Lu slapped the table vigorously and cursed:

“How much do you want to add!?”

"There are 2,400 taels every year, and there are separate red envelopes and silver on the New Year holiday. This amount is too large, and the young people dare not agree. Who would have thought that these ignorant ghosts would incite the craftsmen to stop working, and what else would they say? Without them, our workshop could not make qualified sharp tools."

After saying the number, Eunuch Lu seemed to be able to spit out fire in his eyes, and he stood up and shouted:

"Two, four hundred taels, three people are seven,200 taels, and the family lasts a year!"

Halfway through the words, he stopped consciously, and said how much his family could make in a year. A man dressed in a concierge ran in quickly.

The doorman looked at the silent and strange-looking people in the hall, and quickly smiled. He arrived in front of Eunuch Lu, whispered a few words. Eunuch Lu, who was panting, glared at him again and shouted angrily:

"We haven't seen each other, and we've been killing so hard. We've come to ask our family for help. Isn't the thief who protects him digging more than a dozen people from our workshop? He's been a servant in the palace for so many years. When will the Jinyiwei use cannons? He's really broken and he's about to beat him!"

After scolding a few words, the concierge ran out again. Eunuch Lu was attracted by this incident, and he became angry and asked coldly:

"I really think we can't turn on the stove without them. Lao Shi, have you arranged those smart apprentices to learn something in the past two years?"

The following person said with a dry smile:

"When I say to my father-in-law, those ghosts are very sensible and don't know what skills they have hidden, but we can do what they can do.

Just as he was talking, the concierge who ran out ran back again. Eunuch Lu raised his eyebrows and was about to be angry. The concierge hurriedly stepped forward and said a few more words. The concierge's anger immediately turned into shock, and he stared at the concierge and asked in a low voice:

,Can

"You're so clear. Is it a post from Zhang Cheng and Eunuch Zhang?"

The concierge nodded vigorously, and Eunuch Lu suddenly sat back on his seat. He stood up again after being stunned for a while, and said with gritted teeth:

"Fan Dazui, go back and say that the court has taken too many firearm manufacturing orders, and it is too busy to hand over here. I really can't help. But since it's Eunuch Zhang's greeting, then grit your teeth and suck three masters who know how to do it. People will send them over in a while. You go and pass the message first!"

Fan Dazui went out, and Eunuch Lu said coldly again:

"Old Shi, please go and dispatch the guards now, capture the three greedy monsters, strip them naked and send them out, and then tell the other craftsmen to turn on the furnace and start work. Whoever doesn't go will catch them and cut them out!!"
