Chapter 250 The Apprentice from Fran Machine
Looking at the two men of Ya, the foreign devil in Taoist robes, he was stunned by the inexplicable and strange excitement, and then he burst into laughter.
Although the weather is very warm, several foreigners are barefoot. When the wind blows, the hem of the Taoist robe is lifted up, revealing her hairy white legs. In Wang Tong's opinion, this image is as ridiculous as it is.
laugh.
However, it seemed that the others were not like this. The servants and maids who served the people in the mansion on Gulou were all servants sent by Pan Da and Wandao. The knowledge of these people was not very broad. A servant carrying a basin happened to pass by. Seeing these three foreigners, he was stunned at first, then shouted, and the basin fell to the ground.
Wang Tong turned his head to look over. The servant's face was so scared that he fell down there after two steps back. It was not very lively, and there were two screams on the other side, and then he cried out. It turned out that the two maids who served Ma Ma were also scared.
It was not funny at this time, but it was ridiculous. Although Tianjin Wei was also a harbor, it had some contact with Goryeo, and transportation with Goryeo is not the norm.
The ports that opened the Maritime Warehouse are all in Xijiang and Fujian, and foreigners can also take advantage of the troubled waters in Guangdong and Macau.
Westerners rarely come to the north. Most of the Westerners who come to the north are missionaries. These people are generally used to mingling with literati. Or they go to the wealthy class and it is difficult for ordinary people to see them.
This Tianjin Wei is even more of a military city. Although it is prosperous, it is not the center, so naturally there are no foreigners. This foreign devil with a high nose, deep eyes and blue eyes is no different from that ghost in the eyes of the people.
Not to mention these servants, Li Hutou glanced at him, turned around and ran back to the inner hall. Wang Tong was still puzzled, this kid was always very brave, why was he so timid today
Unexpectedly, he ran back in the blink of an eye. He held a seven-foot gun in his hand and jumped into the yard directly. He shouted fiercely:
"stop!!"
In this short time, Ma Sanbiao and others were all shocked, and they all rushed out with swords. The three foreign devils were no less frightened than those of Wang Tong's mansion. When they saw the other party pushing them over with a sharp blade, they were so scared that they were gone. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Master, the young ones are good people, and the young ones are good people!"
The Chinese with a straight-talk is just a mandarin with a Hejian Mansion accent. Wang Tong couldn't help but smile, but so many people couldn't lose their composure in front of him, and his face turned red, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
"Now, foreigners' legs and waists are still soft!"
Wang Tong expressed his feelings that no one could understand. He walked down the steps. At this time, Cai Nan ran into the yard in anger and saw the three foreigners kneeling on the ground, as if they were facing a great enemy. He was even more frightened. He had already done his job, but he didn't expect that there would be such a big mess when he came back.
Cai Nan stepped forward and said hurriedly:
"Mr. Wang, the firearm workshop said that there are too many orders in border towns in various places, and they can't draw any staff. They said that there are three craftsmen with skillful skills and can give us some advice, but unexpectedly, they gave three stripped-up ghosts. ", so they had to bring them back. On the way, they bought a few old Taoist robes for him to put on. They also bet a small gold medal there. They were just arranged to go to the doorman. They disturbed the big poster."
Cai Nan was at a loss. Wang Tong waved his hand with a smile and said:
"I followed my father to Guangdong and Macau three years ago. I don't know how many ghosts there have seen. These three look ordinary and can't scare me. You have also taken away the things, and you are so fussy, and you are so fussy, and you are getting clothes for the three of them!"
Seeing the foreign devil kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, Wang Tong's men gradually calmed down and went to work hard.
For Wang Tong, the white people I met in that life were arrogant and arrogant, while the white people in this era were all grassroots and had a missionary priest by chance. It was also completely inferior, which made Wang Tong feel a little weird occasionally.
The three foreigners did not get permission to stand up. They still knelt respectfully there. Wang Tong walked up to them and asked calmly:
"What are your names? No need to mention foreign names, just say what others call you in the Ming Dynasty?"
"When the master said, the youngest is called Carlos, the youngest is called Acelo Roy Bean"
"Where are you from?"
"The young people are Franji people, which is where the Great Luzon often said in the Ming Dynasty."
Luzon, South China Sea, the modern Philippines is now a colony of white Europeans. The scholars and officials who have some vague geography of the world believe that since Luzon was occupied, his sect leader could be called the big country, so they came up with the statement of Great Luzon.
The name Francis refers to two countries in the Ming Dynasty, currently Spain and Portugal, but the one that turned Luzon into a colony was Spain.
When Carlos answered, Wang Tongxun, whose knowledge was a little different from this era, reacted casually: "
The voice was not loud, but the six people looked up in shock and looked slightly similar to the real ones, which was the first of them.
"What did you do in the past? Why did you come to the Ming Dynasty? How did you come to Tianjin Wei? How did you work for the official firearm workshop?"
Wang Tong asked several questions in a row. According to his vague historical knowledge, Europe's firearm manufacturing technology has now begun to significantly lead the Ming Dynasty, and Spain is a continental power. The level of firearm manufacturing is naturally quite advanced. If these three people come from there, they will fall from the sky.
But in this era, the East and the West are thousands of miles apart. The information between each other is extremely unobstructed, and many people make up their identities to cheat money. Naturally, they have to ask clearly.
"When I say the master, the young men used to be apprentices from a workshop in the north of the Franchise Kingdom. In order to escape military service, they went to the boat and became sailors. They came to the Ming Dynasty all the way."
Speaking of this, Carlos, who was bearded, had a slight voice, and he knelt there and said:
"The people have never seen such a rich and civilized country, compared to Franchise. It's like a paradise. The young people stayed, hoping to live here and become a member of this civilized empire, but the young people could not find a job except Macau and some ships. The old man Lu of the firearm workshop was in Guangdong at that time. He posted a list everywhere saying that he wanted to recruit craftsmen who knew how to make firearms. The young people always heard that the northerly Ming Dynasty went, the more prosperous the city there was. He was moved to the past and announced the list."
After hearing a few words, Wang Tong turned to shout at Ma Sanbiao and whispered some instructions. Ma Sanbiao nodded and hurried out of the door. Soon after, he heard the sound of horse hooves and the person had already left.
"The reward father-in-law came here to preside over this manufacturing workshop. If it weren't for the three of the young men, how could he get so much reward from His Majesty the Emperor and the Cabinet? But this stingy man didn't add a penny to us for a few years. He didn't know how much he had made on materials and private firearms. So the young men went on strike. He stripped us naked and drove us out. The young men still had hundreds of taels of silver there."
"Can you make firearms?"
Just like the domestic people who went abroad without any slightest praise for how good foreign countries were, all foreigners who had come to the Ming Dynasty were amazed at the civilization and wealth of the Eastern Empire. Every travel notes written by missionaries and merchants used all the praises to praise them. However, in the Qing Dynasty, such praise turned into abuse, and they despised the ignorance and filth of this barbaric country.
Listen to this: There is no flaw in the narrative of famous foreigners. Judging from their origins, they don’t seem to be at the point where they need to make up lies. Wang Tong is the key to the question. "Chuan Bu people will make it!"
Wang Tong clearly saw the other party's answer and his voice became stern:
"Don't deceive me with lies. I have also worked in the Franchise workshop in Macau. You are cheating me now. If it doesn't meet the requirements, then Eunuch Lu will let you have no clothes, and I will let you have no heads!"
Among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Tong is rare to be so young, and he is probably the only one who works in the workshop of foreign blacksmiths in Macau.
Hearing Wang Tong's shout, the three foreigners shivered together. Carlos stammered and couldn't speak. Instead, Bei'an looked up in panic and said:
"Sir, the little people can do artillery. Quick guns and three-eye systems can also be made."
"Where is Bird Wei!?"
The fast gun and the three-eye system are more like firecrackers loaded in iron pipes. The bird is a imitation of the Western Match Rope. This component is relatively complex, and those who can master this technology are considered excellent craftsmen.
Under Wang Tong's knowledgeable questioning, the three foreigners looked nervous. All sweats were flowing down, and the questioning made them not have time to make up. Wang Tong's knowledgeable questioning made them dare not make up. Bei An hurriedly replied:
The young people dare not say they can do it, but they can do it accordingly for the younger people!"
Wang Tong stared at them for a while, and saw that the three of them were kneeling on the ground and dared not look up. Wang Tong said coldly:
"I also have workshops and have to make firearms. The wages and treatments are all good, which is definitely better than you, Eunuch Lu's subordinates, but some rules should be made clear. If you make shoddy things, behead them. If you incite workers to strike, behead them. If you are found to have lies in the future, behead them."
There is only one type of punishment, beheading, and the three of them were sweating coldly when they heard it. They could not say a word except for kowtows.
"Change all your clothes and keep kneeling in the yard. What you said will be verified later!"
After saying that, Wang Tong turned around and walked into the room. The three foreigners knelt there in a manner and did not dare to move around.
I didn't expect that there were so many things to do when the holiday is approaching. Second, I'll be a little later
