The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 75 Lord Ye Turns Hundred Officials into Sticks, Extremely Insulting to the Emperor
"This old Chen is showing off!"

"It must be prisoner No. 88 who is asking who invented the hydraulic hammer forging machine."

"After this guy knew it was you, did he show such a 'sorrowful and happy' expression?"

"If it's a Beiyuan spy, it shouldn't be this expression!"

"."

Wu Yong just analyzed beside Ye Qing, Ye Qing became more and more unhappy.

Because his analysis was correct, Ye Qing was not happy!

If it was a Beiyuan spy, his reaction would be shock and fear, and then he would fall into deep thought, either thinking about how to escape back to report the letter, or thinking about how to get more technology.

In a word, as an enemy, he must be sad for the enemy's progress, and he will never be happy for the enemy's progress.

Even if you want to be happy, it will be after getting technical information and successfully escaping!
Of course, this is just general logic. This person's calm mind may not be clear to general logic.

But so far, his performance has already met the status of an imperial envoy twice!
Yes,

Under such circumstances, showing a mixed expression of sadness and joy is exactly the reaction Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial envoy should have.

The joy is that someone in Daming actually solved the problem of increasing output and declining quality of the iron smelting industry, and the person who solved the problem was an official appointed by the imperial court and a servant of His Majesty the Emperor!
And what he was worried about was that, judging from his current performance, there were too many risk factors for this servant of His Majesty the Emperor.

Based on the fact that he built an arsenal privately in a top-secret environment, he will definitely not take the initiative to hand over his technology, and there is even the possibility of using this technology to rebel!
Ye Qing looked at prisoner No. 88's expression of sadness and joy, and the balance in his heart tilted a lot towards the direction of the imperial envoy.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing directly interrupted Wu Yong and said, "Let's see!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Just like that, the two stopped talking and just watched prisoner No. 88's behavior.

From Ye Qing's point of view, no matter how calm the mind is, a person who can't be judged by ordinary logic will not be able to withstand many trials.

As the saying goes, one can't do it again!

If the reaction several times in a row is in line with the status of imperial envoys, they can be released without charge!

Although this meant that he had to wait a lot of time, it was impossible!
In fact, for Ye Qing, it is really not difficult to solve the problem of increasing production but decreasing quality.

The root cause is that the coal in Huaxia is almost all coal with high phosphorus and high sulfur content.

Using this kind of coal to make iron has indeed solved the problem of depletion of forestry resources and increased the production of iron, but the quality has deteriorated sharply.

Especially the impact on guns, it is too great!

Although the ancestors did not find a chemical solution to completely solve this problem, they also found a physical solution that can basically solve this problem, that is, to increase the intensity of hammering. However, manpower is limited after all, and it is impossible to achieve mass equipment.

To put it bluntly, Ye Qing designed such a hydraulic hammer forging machine to solve this problem!

Of course, after solving this problem, the raw materials produced by his Yanmen Arsenal will truly achieve high-quality and good output!
It has to be said that this is indeed a technology that the court urgently needs!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked in the direction of Ying Tianfu again, there was still a bit of complaint in his eyes.

If it weren't for Wu Yong here, he really wanted to scold, "You are not active in raiding the house, you have a problem with your brain. I have a complete set of design drawings and technical specifications in my treasury. As long as you come to raid the house, it will be yours." '

In fact, Ye Qing can also give him more advanced technology, which can completely smelt steel into liquid steel, so as to accurately adjust the ingredients and create alloy steel technology.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't think it was necessary!
Judging from the current overall industrial level, even if there are design drawings and technical specifications, it is impossible to make it!

Of course, if he stays for a few more years, he can still do it, but he doesn't want to stay for a day, let alone a few years!

Besides, it is only the [-]th century now, so giving him the ironmaking technology of the [-]th century and advanced assembly line technology is already very good.

But he, Zhu Yuanzhang, was not active in confiscating his home, so he couldn't give it away!

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang in the workshop was educated by the master hammer and forge again.

In front of the hammer and forging station in the workshop,
The hammer forge master was just about to stand up straight and move his waist, when he found prisoner No. 88 in front of him.

"No, why do you, a reform-through-labor prisoner, ask so many questions?"

"Is that something you can ask?"

"roll!"

Mao Xiang, who was doing odd jobs at the next station, saw Zhu Yuanzhang being scolded for the second time, and he really couldn't bear it.

But he was still grabbed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he went to another place.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth to educate Mao Xiang, Lao Liu, the captain of the transport convoy, came over and said, "What are you still doing here?"

"The iron ore is all piled up, and now we start to do internal transshipment, transporting the finished iron to the armor production workshop."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became interested.

After seeing the iron smelting workshop of the Yanmen Arsenal, which is far superior to the existing iron smelting technology of the imperial court, he also wanted to see the Bingjia production workshop!

He wanted to know whether the armor production technology of the Yanmen Armor Factory was better than that of the Military Weapons Bureau of the Imperial Ministry of Industry.

If it is better than the imperial court, how much better is it?
He also wanted to know if the person who improved the production technology of the armor was Ye Qing?
If the craftsmanship of making the armor is better than that of the imperial court, and it is still Ye Qing's masterpiece, he will be in a state of sorrow and joy again!
There is no other reason,

If such a talent is killed, he will not be able to get the technology!

Just by inheriting such an arsenal, and then letting people from the Ministry of Industry to study it, it is really not necessarily possible to research something.

If you want to fully own this set of technology, you have to rely on 'Master Ye'!
But will Master Ye, who built a private arsenal, opened mines and manufactured weapons privately, really reveal all his technology?

I'm afraid that in order to save his life, he won't shake it all out!

But it was difficult for him to sleep at night if such a person with a dark heart was alive.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was conflicted in his heart, he remembered the self-report letter that if it wasn't for the intervention of her sister, he would have killed him directly!

"If he really has evil intentions and plans to rebel, why did he write such a letter that he was either sentenced to death or investigated?"

"But if his purpose of writing this letter is really as our sister said, is to take the risk of being sentenced to death, to gain a chance to attract our attention and reach the heavens, why is he doing these things?"

"."

It's okay not to think about this letter, but now the more he thinks about it, the more contradictory he becomes, and the more he can't figure it out!
At this moment, Old Liu, the captain of the transportation team, saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a daze, and immediately became anxious: "Old Guo, why are you still in a daze here?"

"Hey, you're still an official in the capital, you do things like a mallet, you have no eyesight at all!"

"If I were the emperor, I'd send all of you guys who know how to drink tea and talk a lot every day, and send them all out to reform through labor!"

"It's just that there is nothing left to eat, and there is nothing to do!"

In the face of Lao Liu's education, Mao Xiang had endured to the point of gritting his teeth.

He actually dared to call the emperor Lao Tzu a stick in front of him, a pro-military boss, and even dared to use such rebellious metaphors as 'if I were the emperor Lao Tzu'.

This is not only disrespectful to the emperor, but also a slap in the face of the emperor's military boss!

But His Majesty the Emperor, whom he swore to be loyal to to the death, nodded and said, "Old Liu, you are right, those sticks should all be sent to reform through labor."

As soon as the words fell, he hurriedly summoned his people to work.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he was scolded like this, but besides being angry, he felt even more ashamed!

If those officials in his court had this ability, would he still be greedy for these technologies here?

At that moment, he really had the urge to assign Minister of the Ministry of Industry to reform through labor!
Now that he is being scolded on behalf of those officials who are drinking tea and talking loudly, he wants to send all those officials to reform through labor!

Of course, this is just a ruthlessness secretly.

It is definitely unrealistic to send all of them to reform through labor, but it is true that he will clean up those 'sticks' after he returns.

Just because he's being scolded for representing those mallets, they're going to get cleaned up!
Just after Zhu Yuanzhang led his people and pushed the finished iron to the door of the armor production workshop, he looked back at the iron workshop.

"This Ye Qing is really capable!"

"It turned out that those capable people in our court have become the 'sticks' in the hearts of the people of Yanmen!"

Thinking of this, he looked forward to the armor workshop in front of him even more.

The iron-making technology alone has turned those officials into clubs, but what can the armor production technology turn them into?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang pushed the cart in with great enthusiasm.

But the scene in front of him made Zhu Yuanzhang, who knew well that he should 'should not show his emotions and anger' outside, clenched his fists instantly.

As far as the scene he saw now, it didn't do any real harm to him, but it was too insulting to him, the emperor!
