Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 828 Presenting a Bicycle (Part [-])
"Sakai-san, what do you say these places are for? There are soldiers guarding them, and the workers inside are inspected by soldiers when they come out."

The shogunate envoys wandered around the capital, trying to discover as much as possible the unusual places of the Kyushu Army, and then plagiarized them.They soon discovered that some areas of the outer city of the capital were specialized factory areas, with thick chimneys and brick and cement houses.The exterior walls of many brick and tile houses and concrete houses were painted with the words "no entry for idlers", which puzzled the shogunate envoys.

When they wanted to approach, they were driven away by heavily armed soldiers.

"Mostly it is the place where guns, artillery, or even trains are produced. They don't want to expose their technology, so they produce in closed houses." Tadakatsu Sakai saw that there were fences, soldiers, and even patrols in the core factory area. Hound, roughly know that the Kyushu Army wants to keep their core technology strictly confidential!

However, this is the most strictly controlled capital area of ​​the Kyushu Army, and they have no suitable way to obtain these technologies.

"Do you think it is possible for us to buy their workers and let their workers leak the technology and production process inside?" Aoyama Yusei said to Tadakatsu Sakai.

"It's possible in theory, but once the bribed workers leak the secret and the Kyushu Army knows our intentions, they may retaliate wildly against us." Tadakatsu Sakai frowned.

There is no doubt that buying the skilled workers of the Kyushu Army is the fastest way, but it is necessary to buy more than one worker at a time to obtain a technology. If any of the workers report the matter to the Kyushu Army, they will naturally be recruited by the Kyushu Army. Uprooted.This is a difficult game.

"It's painful, the most secret technology of the Kyushu Army is right in front of our eyes, and we can't touch it only across a wall." Aoyama Yukunari also began to be very obsessed with the technology of the Kyushu Army, but he knew it well, unless Chu Yun My brain is short-circuited, otherwise I wouldn't have leaked even 01:30 to them.

"I am in the same pain." Tadakatsu Sakai was full of helplessness facing the gray factory wall.

He can't wait to rush in, snatch the machines and materials of the Kyushu Army and run away.

"Sakai-kun, have you contacted the killer who arrived in the capital? Why is Mitsuhisa Shimadzu still alive and kicking in the inn? The Shimadzu family probably has reached a secret agreement with the Kyushu Army, posing a huge threat to our shogunate. Must Let him die here." Aoyama Yukunari said to Sakai Tadakatsu.

"I've already contacted the killer." Said Tadakatsu Sakai.

"Oh? Then why didn't you start the assassination?" Aoyama Xingcheng said.

"The reason why Mitsuhisa Shimadzu is still alive is because our killer has been targeted by the intelligence department, the most mysterious organization of the Kyushu Army. She used a special method to pass information to me. Do you know why she would Being targeted?" Sakai Tadakatsu said.

"Her identity as a mixed-race child has been discovered? But her father is Han Chinese. Huaxia, like us in Dongying, respects the father's surname. There is no reason not to accept her." Aoyama Xingcheng was a little puzzled.

"That's because she met the Chinese woman who killed my brother on the steamboat of the Kyushu Army. That woman has a high status in the Kyushu Army. Once our people appear by her side, they will naturally be targeted." Sakai Tadakatsu said.

In the assassination of Sakai Zhongkichi, Sakai Tadakatsu has been trying to find out the identity of Dayuer, and even detained Dayuer for this, but found nothing.On the contrary, it took no effort to come to the capital this time as an envoy.

"I have heard a little about the murder of Sakai Tadaki, who is she?" Aoyama Xingcheng asked.

"She is the younger sister of a corps commander of the Kyushu Army, and she is also an official of the household department in charge of finance and people's livelihood. Are you surprised that the Kyushu Army will send such people to our Dongying to engage in activities." Sakai Tadakatsu said.

"Official of the household department? Did the Kyushu Army send her to check the accounts?" Aoyama Xingcheng said.

Tadashi Sakai shook his head: "I don't know the details, but I know that she will bring a group of people here, I'm afraid it's not as simple as going to check the accounts. I have already conveyed the order to Kazuko not to be active for the time being, so that there will be more in the future." Great use."

Aoyama Xingcheng heard Sakai Tadakatsu say that Kazuko has a more important role, thoughtfully: "You mean..."

"Shut up, maybe someone from the intelligence department is watching us in the dark." Sakai Tadakatsu made a gesture.

Just as Tadakatsu Sakai thought, behind this group of shogunate envoys, there were two civilians who were eating roasted sweet potatoes watching them intentionally or unintentionally.

"You said they were wandering around in the city in the snow, so we had to follow. And they wanted to break into the factory just now." A civilian said.

"Isn't it? In order to keep up with them, we have had a restless year." Another civilian said.

"Fortunately, the year-end allowance given by the higher-ups is relatively high, so it's fine, and shifts will be arranged after the year."

"I don't know what's going on with the other groups. I heard that the group following the Korean envoys is a little easier. Those Koreans are much more secure than the Dongying people."

The two discussed in low voices while following the shogunate envoys.

The two envoys from Japan and one from Korea are under the surveillance of the Intelligence Department, and Hezi, who arrived before, was also targeted by the Intelligence Department because of Da Yuer's suspicions.

"This is a personal gift from our military leader to show the friendly cooperation between the two countries." Yu Cheng brought a bicycle to the inn where the Korean diplomatic mission was located, and said to Li Yan in front of him.

"Bicycle!" Li Yan couldn't help being amazed when he saw the brand-new bicycle!

He knew that not many people owned bicycles in the capital, and they were produced in limited quantities. In his opinion, they were priceless treasures, and there was not even one in the whole of Koryo!
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness Wang Shizi for picking up the bicycle!" The members of the Korean envoys who followed Li Yan were almost all Koreans who had studied in the Academy of Sciences. They also knew the magic of bicycles, so they congratulated Li Yan one after another.

To tell the truth, Yu Cheng was also very envious of Li Yan. Even if such a bicycle was priced at 100 taels of silver, someone would definitely buy it.

"For those who have never ridden this bicycle, it may be difficult to control due to the unstable center of gravity, but Wang Shizi, you can familiarize yourself with the operation of the bicycle with the help of your servants. Let me demonstrate." Yu Cheng kindly taught Li Yan How to ride a bicycle.

Li Yan's eyes were shining. It would be too cool to transport this bicycle back to Korea together, and it could also show the power of industry in front of those conservative civil servants!
