Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 201 Don't you know how to wrap this prodigal bastard with a layer of oil paper?

Lao Zhu is very disciplined, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to break in suddenly during the morning court.

Unless there is an urgent military situation, anyone who dares to break in without reason will be severely punished by him.

What the two tigers did was so trivial in terms of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Generally speaking, you don't even have the chance to mention it in the court. At best, when the Ministry of War writes a document, write a sentence in the memorial such as "how many weapons are included in the Wuzi library".

However, such an insignificant matter made Lao Zhu stand up from the dragon chair in surprise, and asked excitedly!

"Could it be a lie?"

"How much did you ship in total?"

"Reporting to the emperor, this matter is absolutely true, Jin Yiwei has also sent news!"

"As for how much to ship..."

Erhu smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Jin Yiwei said that they were all escorted into storage, but I can't believe it..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he smiled wryly, thinking of the grandson's usual way of talking, he also felt that the news was too fake.

The other civil and military officials also whispered when they heard this, but no one dared to believe it.Even the generals who were close to Zhu Yunxi didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that they would make a mistake in flattering them, and they would turn into booing.

Ru Chang, Minister of the Ministry of War, didn't believe it even more. He had already sent someone to inquire about it. Thousands of craftsmen were eliminated from the Weapons Bureau, and many of them were poached by the Military Bureau supervised by Zhu Yunqi.

Now there are less than 3000 people in the Weapons Bureau, how can it be possible to complete a month's task?

Furthermore, that guy Zhu Yunxi gave up everything he had in the Weapons Bureau and rebuilt a workshop by the river, and it would take half a month at the earliest to start production.

In half a month, relying on the remaining 3000 people, and still want to complete a month's share, is this playing like a fool with the full court civil and military?

The more Ru Chang thought about it, the more angry he became. With an attitude of being responsible for Daming's Jiangshan Sheji, he rushed forward with his mouth open.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not to be trifled with!"

"If His Royal Highness King Wu can really deliver as much, I am willing to ask for credit for it personally!"

"If not, the old minister would not dare to ask His Majesty to punish the king of Wu, but at least he should give an explanation to the frontline soldiers, right?"

"This……"

Old Zhu frowned slightly when he heard this, resenting Ru Chang's ignorance while resenting Zhu Yunxi for delaying things.

"There is some truth in what Ru Chang said. Our eldest grandson is indeed a little ignorant, how can we boast so much!"

"If he said that half of this month has been completed, we still believe him a little bit. Now that we have delivered all of them, we have no idea. Fortunately, we didn't count on him at all. We have already ordered the secret guards to build weapons. Think about it for sure." Can't miss anything, hahaha..."

Lao Zhu half-jokingly added a few words to Dasun, and then laughed loudly on purpose.

Normally, the emperor laughed, at least the courtiers would giggle along.

However, today was a bit weird, in the huge hall, only Lao Zhu's ugly owl-like laughter echoed.

Lao Zhu laughed a few times in embarrassment, seeing that no one agreed with him, he put away the smile on his face.

"Er Hu, did they really say that they sent a month's worth of weapons?"

"Reporting to the emperor, it's not a month..."

"Then why did you say exactly what you said just now? Didn't you deliberately play tricks on us!"

"Back to the emperor, according to Jin Yiwei's statement, this year's full delivery..."

"how can that be!"

Lao Zhu was furious on the spot, walked down the imperial steps, and came to Erhu in person.

"Er Hu, you can't lie to us. We are satisfied that Ni Sun can deliver the full month, and can he complete the whole year?"

"Even if more than half a year has passed this year, there are still four or five months left. Even if he uses one day as two days, it is impossible to finish all of them!"

Seeing Lao Zhu's attitude, Erhu also beat his heart.

"My lord, this is the news I received..."

"If you don't believe me, the Ministry of War will definitely come back after the warehouse inventory is finished..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he gave Erhu a bitter look, and then strode out.

"Prepare the car!"

"We have to go and see for ourselves!"

Seeing the emperor running away, all the officials in the hall looked at each other and quietly followed.

They were also very curious about why Zhu Yunxi dared to say such big words.

The Wuzi Library is located in Chang'an Gate, only one wall away from the Yamen of the Ministry of War. It is a warehouse dedicated to the weapons bureau and various guards.

When Lao Zhu arrived in a carriage, the Wu Ziku was carrying all kinds of standard weapons into the warehouse under the command of the library ambassador Chen Jiuwu.

Chen Jiuwu had been the ambassador of the library for more than ten years, and he had never seen so many weapons put into storage.

Generally speaking, the standard weapons brought over by the Weapons Bureau can't be stored for a month, and they have to be taken away by the frontier troops in various places for various reasons.

In fact, Daming's weapons were never enough.Many of the weapons used by the frontier army are still barren.

Because the output of this thing has never been able to increase, it is only enough to replace some of the frontier troops every year if it is made vigorously.

Some time ago, Lan Yu led the army to march north, even taking away the last bit of inventory in the Wuzi library.

Chen Jiuwu looked at the empty warehouse every day, not to mention how irritable he felt, he only felt endless emptiness.

Now seeing that His Highness King Wu made so many weapons at once, not only did he straighten his back, but his voice was several times louder.

"Be careful, all of you, don't bump into us!"

"Ambassador Chen, our weapons are made of iron, not bottles and cans. You are afraid that they will break if broken, hahaha..."

Chen Jiuwu laughed when he heard the teasing of the guard soldiers.

"What do you know!"

"This newly made weapon has a layer of oil film on its surface, and it will easily rust if touched!"

"Okay, okay, let's all listen to Ambassador Chen, be careful, just like treating your own mother-in-law!"

Chen Jiuwu stared at the people carrying them, while standing by the side to make random checks.

"The arrows in this box are good, all of them are in storage."

"This box of spear heads is also good, let's put them all in storage."

"This box of waist knives..."

"and many more!"

Chen Jiuwu picked up a waist knife, felt the weight of the waist knife, and his face changed in shock on the spot.

How could this knife be so heavy!

Chen Jiuwu carefully tore off the oil paper on the knife, and when he saw that the whole body of the knife was made of iron, he was so angry that he couldn't help cursing.

"This group of people who have suffered thousands of knives is too prodigal, and the whole body is made of iron. They will not be able to survive in the future!"

Just when Chen Jiuwu was feeling emotional, he suddenly stretched out a hand and snatched the waist knife from his hand.

Chen Jiuwu was about to scold his mother, but when he saw the face of the visitor, he immediately collapsed in fright.

"Master Tiger, what gust of wind brought you here?"

Chen Jiuwu and Erhu were also old acquaintances. They were in the same gang when they were in the army.

However, Erhu ignored him, and just handed the waist knife to an old man behind him.

"My lord, be careful, this knife is very sharp!"

When Chen Jiuwu heard this, he was completely frightened and fell to his knees with a plop.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

How could Lao Zhu have the time to talk to him, he was engrossed in looking at the knife right now.

Lao Zhu, like Chen Jiuwu, was so angry that he scolded his mother after seeing the standard waist knife made by Zhu Yunxi.

"This turtle grandson, he was burned with a lot of money, how could he be so wasteful!"

"Such a standard waist knife, how can it be made of iron for the whole body!"

Lao Zhu is a person who has really led soldiers and fought in battles, and he is very familiar with the weapons commonly used in the army.

Normally, this kind of standard waist knife only uses the clamping method to clamp a steel bar in the blade part to strengthen the rigidity of the blade.

But after Lao Zhu scolded a few words, seeing that the iron has become a knife, he can only respond with a helpless wry smile.

"This turtle grandson doesn't intend to live a life..."

Old Zhu complained, and then saw Chen Jiuwu kneeling on the ground.

"Get up and talk back!"

"According to the order!"

"How much is in storage now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, only [-] arrows and [-] spears have been put into storage. The rest of the weapons can be counted in three days at least!"

Old Zhu was secretly surprised when he heard the words, it took three days to finish counting, wouldn't it be hundreds of thousands of arrows?
"Is there a delivery list?"

"Have!"

Chen Jiuwu hurriedly took out a document from his arms, and Lao Zhu took a look at it, only to see that it was a contribution list issued by the Weapons Bureau, and it was stamped with the seal he used when he was King of Wu.

"The list of weapons delivered by the Weapons Bureau is as follows!"

"30 bows and arrows..."

As soon as Lao Zhu finished reading this sentence, he hurriedly read it again, making sure that he read it correctly, he gasped in shock.

This rebellious grandson actually did it?
In less than a month, 30 arrows were actually made?
It took 30 arrows to be produced in a month. If it was fully produced for a year, wouldn't it be necessary to produce 300 million arrows?
If we have 300 million arrows a year, isn't it just around the corner to wipe out Beiyuan?

You know, there are not even 300 million people in Beiyuan!

After Lao Zhu was shocked, he continued to look down, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

"Thirty thousand standard spears..."

"Thirty thousand standard waist knives..."

"Three thousand standard guns..."

If the quantity of these weapons can be matched, and the quality can be used, our great grandson has really made a great contribution!

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu immediately looked curiously at the dozens of carriages parked in front of the Wuziku.

"Come on, take off the tarpaulins on all the carriages!"

Hearing the words, Erhu promised to promise, and immediately ordered people to open the dozen or so carriages parked in front of the Wuzi library.

When all the thatch was lifted, all the civil and military officials standing beside the carriage felt that their eyes were not enough.

Under the radiance of the sun, the carriages loaded with various standard weapons exuded bursts of cold air.The carriage with the standard waist knife burst into a blinding white light.

Old Zhu was also blinded by the white light, and he cursed after a while.

"This prodigal thing, don't you know how to wrap a layer of oil paper on the outside of the waist knife!"

"If it's rusty, let's hang him up and beat him!"

As soon as Lao Zhu finished speaking, a young man dressed in pine came out from the carriage.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's not that my benefactor doesn't want to wrap the steel knives with oiled paper, it's that the oiled paper at the Weapons Bureau can't supply them, so we can only randomly pile these steel knives together."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he suddenly remembered that Erhu had reported that his grandson had abducted many students from the Imperial College and taught them miscellaneous knowledge all day long.

Now this person is called a mentor, so he should be the disciple of his grandson, right?
"Who are you, and what are you in charge of in the Arms Bureau?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the student Ma Bo is the chief engineer in the Weapons Bureau, specializing in weapon manufacturing!"
