The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 72 Let the Emperor Laozi be so forbearing, Mr. Ye has the qualifications (seeking more)
"Are you all dumbfounded?"

"It's true that he is still an official in Beijing. Even if the emperor is here, he will be dumbfounded!"

Old Liu, the captain of the iron ore transport team, was very proud when he said such a sentence.

Must be proud!
The official master from the capital came to their small county, but it was as if he had never been in the city!
Such a reaction from them is enough to prove their astonishing talent of Mr. Ye, and it is also enough to prove how happy they are as Mr. Ye's subjects.

In fact, Lao Liu and the rest of the transport convoy are not prisoners of labor reform, they are serious local residents.

For them, this is just a job with a decent wage!

Of course, there are many jobs with good wages. The reason why they are willing to do this hard job is also to contribute to the military industry of Yanmen County.

It can even be said to be a contribution to the children in the military camp!

Yes,

Many of these people were uncles and fathers of the Yanmen garrison.

The reason why there is such a relationship is because of the "military household system" established by Zhu Yuanzhang!
Once it is designated as a family of military households, it will only be able to join the army for generations, or the kind that cannot be delayed in busy farming training and combat preparations!
Not only are many of them uncles and fathers of the Yanmen Garrison, but even half of the craftsmen in the arsenal are uncles and fathers of the Yanmen Garrison!
Ye Qing didn't hand over everything to prisoners, there was no one in the arsenal who was a prisoner, they were all trustworthy local sons and daughters.

If it wasn't for Ye Qing's greeting, the reform-through-labour prisoners headed by this 'Prisoner No. 88' could only dig mines honestly, and definitely wouldn't have the honor of doing odd jobs in the arsenal!

And at this moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had won this honor, looked at the smug old Liu and suppressed the fire in his heart.

At the same time, he also smiled helplessly and said: "Your brother is right, the emperor is here, and I have to be dumbfounded!"

For Zhu Yuanzhang's "sensible" echo, Lao Liu also nodded in satisfaction, and then asked them to follow up, not to delay production.

But he didn't notice at all that when Zhu Yuanzhang said the words "Emperor Laozi", he obviously put a lot of emphasis on them compared to other words!
Mao Xiang and others who followed Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe it when they saw the backs of Zhu Yuanzhang and old Liu chatting while walking.

Is this still the decisive Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace?

Even if it is a private visit to inspect the people's sentiments in the capital city, it is not possible to endure it to this point!
Thinking of this, they took another look. This is the whole picture of the Yanmen Arsenal, which is several times bigger than the Arsenal under the Ministry of Industry and Weapons Bureau!
Looking at this scene, they immediately understood why Zhu Yuanzhang could endure it to this extent.

It can only be said that Ye Qing, the seventh-rank county magistrate, has the qualifications to make him Zhu Yuanzhang endure it to this extent!

Soon, they followed Lao Liu's convoy, entered the gate of the arsenal, and walked onto the ten-foot-wide factory avenue!
"parking!"

"Routine inspection!"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and Lao Liu were in charge of escorting the lead car, they were stopped by the guards just as they set foot on the factory road.

The sudden reflection made Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and others blink quickly.

The silver armor on these soldiers, it can be said that every piece of armor is polished like a mirror!
As far as their armor and standard sabers are concerned, it can be said that they have completely surpassed the level of craftsmanship of the Military Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of Industry!
"All right!"

"You can let it go!"

After the inspection, the guards immediately returned to their posts and stood up.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and others just lowered their heads and followed Lao Liu and the others while holding on to the cart.

But the equipment of these ordinary soldiers was deeply imprinted in their minds.

An ordinary sergeant can wear armor on his limbs, chest and back. If [-] troops with such equipment rebel, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, they immediately had a similar idea at the same time, that is, these people should be people who support the front, so they are so well equipped, just like their best equipped pro-military captains.

Their armor can be said to be very beautiful, but they are hardly used in actual combat.

After all, they are pro-military, if they all wear that beautiful armor to fight, then either it is the end of the Ming Dynasty, or the end of the emperor!

In their view, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary sergeants to be equipped with such good armor on a large scale.

You must know that making a set of armor that is almost full of armor is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also consumables and money!

Thinking of this, their frowning brows, who had kept their heads down all the time, relaxed a little!
But when they were about to enter the first workshop from the left, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around immediately and looked straight at the guards and soldiers in bright silver armor and standard sabers on their waists.

Looking at the top-secret environment surrounded by mountains, where no ghosts usually come, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a bad premonition in his heart:

"It's a top-secret place where no birds usually come here. Is it necessary for them to stand up for it?"

"Could it be that this is the armor of ordinary soldiers?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the crossbowmen who surrounded and captured them, and the soldiers who overlooked the whole city from the watchtower in the city and ensured the law and order of the whole city at all times.

"Their armor and weapons are also so sophisticated!"

"."

In fact, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the equipment of the soldiers in the city was much better than that of the troops stationed in other places, he began to think about it.

But in his opinion, Ye Qing made those sergeants who could be seen by Bei Yuan and other foreign merchants at any time, equipped so well, just to support their appearance!
At the same time, it was also to give Wang Baobao and the others an illusion.

An illusion that all the garrisons in Yanmen County are well-equipped!
After all, there are less than 2000 troops stationed in the city all the time!
Since he, Ye Qing, can develop Yanmen County so well in three years, then he can still do it if he puts all his efforts into gathering [-] sets of sophisticated equipment.

But looking at the scene in front of him, he felt that it would not be difficult for Ye Qing to assemble two thousand sets of excellent equipment!
Thinking of this, the look of fear in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes increased again!
"What are you looking at?"

"Hurry up and get the iron ore to the iron furnace!"

Under the urging of old Liu who seemed to be reproachful, Zhu Yuanzhang led his men to start unloading.

They pulled the cart and walked from one end of the workshop to the other. They were sweating all the way.

After all, it is an ironmaking workshop with high temperature!

But none of them took care of the sweat on their faces, allowing it to gather on their chins and then drip to the ground one after another.

It's just because their attention has long been focused on this never-before-seen ironmaking process!

And outside the window behind Zhu Yuanzhang, Ye Qing just looked at them like this!

From Ye Qing's point of view, if nothing else happens, he can completely confirm the identities of these people in this arsenal.

Whether it's a Beiyuan spy or an imperial envoy, you'll know right away!
