Chapter 927
"As for the production of firearms, I will handle this matter."

"Here in Jingkou, the existing raw materials are also carefully utilized, and the mines that can be mined must also be stepped up."

"I will also contact the old general Huan Chong in Jingzhou and ask him to fund some iron stones, so that the raw materials for making firearms can be solved."

Of course there are sulfur and saltpeter, these will be taken into consideration, Wang Mi said while adding in his heart, his brain is running fast, for fear of missing something.

This is the most critical moment, you can't lose the chain.

"General Huan?"

"Can the Jingzhou Department support us?" He Wuji asked worriedly.

Most of these people present have contacts with Huan Chong, and they have also seen the behavior of this old general, which is quite terrifying!
It doesn't mean that it's scary in a vicious way, but it's a stingy person who only knows how to plan for himself. Such an old stingy person who can only get in and out, Wang Mi even brazenly said that he should ask the Jingzhou Ministry for raw materials.

Want iron stone, want saltpeter, is this possible?

According to Huan Chong's personality, Beifu's upside down is almost the same, and if he wants to produce something, it's faster to dream.

Wang Mi glanced at it, He Mai was not the only one who had such doubts, most of the other brothers also had the same opinion.

Gee...

If Old General Huan knew that in Jingkou and Beifu, his reputation was like this, maybe he would jump up immediately and rush straight at them.

"You worry too much, just go to General Huan for this matter, he will definitely support it!"

What a big breath!
Although Wang Mi swears, but He Wuji and others don't believe a word, how is this possible?
Just Huan Chong?
A person who absolutely refuses to trade at a loss?

Before, in Xiangyang, Huan Chong's look of not taking advantage was enough, everyone can still vividly remember it!
How do you make everyone believe it?

However, Huan Chong was not the only one Wang Mi was targeting.

Old General Huan was good, but he was old after all, and it was impossible for him to be transferred back and forth.

Wang Mi aimed at Huan Yi.

A young general who is very strategic and willing to cooperate, although he belongs to Jingzhou, he was born in the Huan family of Qiaojun.

However, Wang Mi is a time-traveler, he is not a waste of the Sima family who is trembling and suspicious of everyone.

He doesn't have any prejudice against the Huan clan, as long as they can cooperate, he can try his best to cooperate.

After all, it was the Sima family that was at odds with the Huan family, and it was also the Sima family that they often rebelled against, not his Langya Wang family.

Putting Huan Chong aside, Huan Yi is a very good candidate for lieutenant general. Such a talent should never be buried.

I want you to be promoted a long time ago and be used by me.

A person like Huan Yi could shine everywhere, but for many years, he only got a relatively quiet and less important Jiangzhou. This was all due to the personal grievances between the Huan family of Qiaojun and the Sima clan. due to.

The old Sima's family was not in the right place, so everyone looked like they were guarding against thieves. Although the Huan family did bring relatively great disasters to Dajin, that was a thing of the past after all.

For young generals like Huan Yi who don't know how to do their best, it is normal for the Sima family to have today.

On the contrary, Wang Mi has no pressure.

He was about to write a letter to Huan Yi, advising him to join forces with him as soon as possible to seek a great cause together.

Some things need to be concealed no matter how hard they work, but for a character like Huan Yi, he can boldly express his thoughts with confidence.

The most important thing is that Huan Yi is a very strict-mouthed person who won't engage in verbal disputes at all. Even if he doesn't want to cooperate with Wang Mi, he will never disclose Wang Mi's thoughts to anyone.

What Wang Mi trusted was Huan Yi's character.

Because of the good character, not only this matter, but also many things, you can boldly explain to him without worrying about leaking the news.

"The matter of raw materials is settled, what about the craftsmen?"

"What Jingkou lacks the most is actually these people!"

Since they started talking about this topic, Liu Yu has been silent. He is in a much more comfortable mood now, and there is absolutely no possibility that he deliberately did not want to talk or was angry.

He was just thinking about another thing.

It is said that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, but the current situation that Beifu is facing is just the opposite.

There are plenty of raw materials that can be supplied, but what about Qiao Fu?

What about those craftsmen who can make weapons?
Without them, even if all the raw materials are piled up into a mountain, it will not help!
Can't make a firearm at all!

Although General Liu is brave and invincible and has a shrewd mind, General Liu can't make firearms either!In this matter, he can't help at all, he can only be anxious.

It's a pity that Liu Yu's anxious mouth is almost bubbling, and Wang Shilang's face is still calm, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"Yinu, how could I have forgotten this?"

"I've already thought about the artisans. However, these people are not in Jingkou now, but in Jiankang. It will take time to transfer them all over."

This kind of thing, Wang Mi has already arranged.

I have also found a safe person to entrust, not others, but our old acquaintances, Pu Chao, Pu Jiangzuo.

Pu Chao is just an old urchin who is extremely interested in weapon making and all kinds of things that can be called strange skills and obscenity.

As soon as he received Wang Mi's order, he acted quickly and stepped up training the apprentices in the workshop.

The general workshop recruits many craftsmen from the local area every year, as well as young people who are willing to be apprentices. There are quite a few of them.

Originally, everyone was recruited because they wanted to learn various skills, and they were not specifically for a certain line of work.

However, this time, Puchao is in charge, and everyone, regardless of you or me, comes to learn how to make firearms.

Although Pu Chao is a general minister, and the young apprentices dare not disobey his orders, but apart from that, Pu Chao is not an ordinary person.

He has been in the workshop for many years, and he understands how to mobilize the enthusiasm of the craftsmen.

Definitely need to mobilize!

These apprentices often have little knowledge, don't understand any major principles, and are too young, so they tend to be lazy from time to time.

It is not necessarily useful to send people to stare at them every day, let alone let them do things that they are not interested in at all.

Therefore, Puchao set a high price from the beginning.

All craftsmen who come to learn how to make firearms, as long as they pass the examination, can make firearms that meet the standards, and their wages will be doubled.

As soon as this remark came out, countless people responded immediately.

The enthusiasm of the apprentices immediately increased.

Not only the newly recruited apprentices, but also the existing apprentices and ready-made craftsmen of the workshop often put down their original errands and came to learn firearm making.

If this had been the case in the past, it would have caused disaster a long time ago.

Jiang Workshop seems to be a cold yamen, but it is also an official institution of the imperial court, which undertakes the supply of various daily necessities for the inner court.

Status matters.

If Pu Chao does this, it means that no one makes gold and silverware, candles and incense, and the jewelry of the women in the harem.

Isn't that a big deal?
Can he really do it?

If it was really like this, the sisters in the harem and other court ministers would jump up and fight him desperately.

In fact, no one really does.

There is no other reason, who made him stand behind him with a big backer?
In addition to the joy of giving money, the curiosity and high interest of craftsmen and apprentices in firearms is also a major factor in promoting the smooth progress of this business.

Who doesn't love something new?
What's more, these are firearms. Everyone knows that these are the treasures that soldiers use when they go to battle.

Just like in modern times, little boys like machine gun toys, all weapons are always naturally attractive to men.

Making firearms is much more interesting than making jewelry for those empresses in the harem.

With Wang Mi's guarantee, Tan Pingzhi and the others no longer questioned it.

Although a lot of things are still far from a date, and it seems that there is no possibility of success at all, but at present, it can only be arranged in this way first.

Fortunately, there is still a long time before these things are officially used, and there is no rush for this moment.

When the brothers gradually left, He Mai stayed.

This cunning fox, if he stays, nothing good will happen.

Wang Mi was also tired, too lazy to argue with him, he did whatever he liked, while he rested on the soft bed, unwilling to lift his eyes.

"Zhiyuan, are you taking a rest now?"

"After a long journey, you are indeed tired."

He Mai stepped forward secretly, with a malicious smile on his face, and he could smell the conspiracy on him from eight hundred miles away.

Wang Mi raised an eyelid and said lazily, "What do you want to say?"

"Hurry up and talk."

"Look at you, it's okay, so you can't talk, you are all brothers, so stingy."

He Mai is not a polite person, he poured a cup of tea on his own, and sat down beside Wang Mi, regardless of whether he wanted to talk to him or not.

"How is this stingy?"

"It's based on what I know about you."

"You are the authentic type of being courteous for nothing, rape or steal. It's okay, you will laugh so thieves?"

"Are you waiting for the other brothers to leave before you come to talk?"

Don't be fooled, no one can see He Mai's three axes, let alone Wang Shilang, who is very smart.

"I came to remind you kindly, why don't you appreciate it?"

"Remind me?" While speaking, Wang Mi became tense. If this is really a serious matter, of course he can't deal with it so lazily.

You have to cheer up!
"Don't get excited, I mean, I heard that you want to bring Lady Luzhu back to Jiankang?"

Wang Mi froze all of a sudden.

After talking for a long time, it's about the green pearl!

He turned around and lay down again, it was meaningless, if it had something to do with the green pearl, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"Look, you still don't pay attention."

He Mai was not in a hurry, talking while drinking tea, although Wang Mi had already shown that he was not interested in this topic at all.

He Mai didn't care.

"Are you planning to bring Lady Luzhu back to Jiankang City so carelessly?"

"Do you think this is appropriate?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"You also know that along the way, I have always respected her, but is there any inappropriate behavior?"

"The two of us are innocent. I just thanked her for saving us in Xuzhou. I couldn't bear her being harmed by Fu Fei, so I brought her out."

"As for resettling in Jiankang, that's because I'm also from Jiankang, and I want to return to Jiankang, so I can't leave her on the way."

"I won't do anything to her. What's wrong with that?"

"As long as you don't gossip, after I return to the court in Jiankang City, I will immediately find her a place to live and give her some money, and everything will be settled."

solved?
How can it be so easy!

Has someone fought too many victories, too easily, to the point where his head is so dazed that he doesn't realize where the real danger lies?
"Zhiyuan, have you told your family about this?"

"Home?"

"Uncle's side?" Wang Mi thought of Wang Hui's place as a matter of course, and Wang Hui was the only one who could overwhelm him in the palace.

This is of course because Wang Mi gave him face. In fact, people like Wang Mi are basically carefree people in the palace.

After all, Wang Hui is only his uncle, even if he really made a mistake, Wang Hui can't control him, the relationship between the two of them is so harmonious now, mainly because Wang Mi took the initiative to obey.

In this way, Wang Hui, the nominal patriarch, also has face.

It's just a brothel girl, and she doesn't want to bring her into the palace for a long time, so what's the problem?
He Mai blinked and blinked, almost confused by Wang Mi's reaction.

This person really forgot the big things to the back of his neck.

"Who said the palace?"

"I mean, your wife, you just take the green pearl back like this, your wife is so irritable, can she bear it?"

"Even if you don't let her live in the palace, but Luzhu is a brothel girl and a beautiful woman, do you think you can hide such a thing?"

lady?

Thanks Minghui!
Yes!

Wang Shilang is married and has a wife!
Many things are not so free!

Logically speaking, this kind of thing would not be a problem.

Which man in this era doesn't have three wives and four concubines, hooking shoulders with prostitutes in brothels.

However, when it comes to Xie Minghui, there seems to be a little problem.

"so what?"

"Luzhu and I are innocent, I never planned to hide this matter."

"At that time, just tell her when I get back to Jiankang. Although Minghui has a bad temper, she is also a sensible person and won't quarrel with me."

"Really?" He Mai raised his eyebrows with a strange smile.

Although Wang Mi's mouth is tough, but it's just a dead duck's mouth, it's no wonder he's not guilty!
Don't feel guilty, why are your eyes still dodging so much, you don't dare to look at He Mai.

"Are you sure, your wife can accept this matter generously?"

"of course!"

"My lady, I don't understand myself?"

"Amai, I advise you to do something serious. There are so many prisoners waiting to be counted and returned to their positions. Is it appropriate for you to dawdle here?"

"Hurry up and help me."

He Mai shook the hem of his shirt, making a look of helplessness.

"You are driving me away!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go."

"You can figure it out yourself!"
