The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 76 Zhu Yuanzhang can't bear it anymore, Master Ye's formal respect for the emperor (seeking more)
Zhu Yuanzhang pushed a cart of finished iron sheets to the No. [-] workshop of the Yanmen Arsenal, which was built along the river bank.

There are a total of twelve workshops in the Yanmen Armory, and the single-numbered workshops need hydraulic machinery, so they are all built on the banks of the river to facilitate the use of hydraulic power.

The double-number workshop is built on the side, which belongs to the workshop that does not need hydraulic power.

The layout of No. [-] and No. [-] iron smelting workshops is like this, and the layout of No. [-] and No. [-] armor production workshops is also the same.

The place where Zhu Yuanzhang is standing now is the No. [-] armor rough processing workshop, which is the workshop for turning iron sheets into armor parts.

The location where the armor rough processing workshop just entered is not a production station, but a technical exhibition hall.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes,

An older master craftsman is educating several relatively young master craftsmen who have just arrived.

"Everyone knows that our Yanmen Arsenal is the top military secret!"

"That's why everyone here must be a native of Yanmen. You can come here and get this iron rice bowl. You have to feel lucky because you have Yanmen nationality, and you have to thank our Master Ye!"

Immediately afterwards, several young craftsmen became impatient.

"Master Zhang, thank you Lord Ye and want you to tell me?"

"That is, as a citizen of Yanmen, I don't have to leave a place for Emperor Zhu in my heart, but I must have a place for Master Ye!"

"Chen Laosan, this kind of words can be said in the heart, why bother to say it, although we don't have to worry about the emperor's eyes and ears here."

"Hahaha"

And at this moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing in an inconspicuous corner, directly clenched his fists.

If it wasn't for the covering up of the noise in the workshop, the sound of his fist clenching could really be heard at such a short distance.

He just looked at these ignorant backs, gritted his molars and said to himself, "You really don't have to worry about having the emperor's eyes and ears, because the emperor is here to watch you treacherous."

But soon, he transferred his hatred towards them to Master Ye Qingye, who hadn't met yet and didn't know how tall, short, fat, or thin.

There are thousands of mistakes, and the people are not wrong. The fault lies with Ye Qing, the parent official who manages the people on this side.

Then, he started hating himself again.

"Wanfang is guilty, and I am guilty!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang also had such an imperceptible self-deprecating look on his face.

"Yes!"

"Who asked us to give them a city in ruins, but this Ye Qing gave them a happy life where they can laugh and laugh!"

"But we labeled Dayuan as Beiyuan, we have hard work if we don't have any credit!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes can be said to be self-deprecating and wronged.

But just after he looked at the display pendants on this wall, he pinned his hatred on the word Ye Qing unswervingly.

Because in his opinion, Ye Qing set up such an exhibition hall for the purpose of 'stepping on Zhu and lifting leaves'.

Because of this, this exhibition hall of 'stepping on Zhu and lifting leaves' made him firmly believe that Ye Qing must have done more things of 'stepping on Zhu and lifting leaves' in places he hadn't seen yet.

It was these things that allowed the common people to have the thought that they could not have Emperor Zhu in their hearts, but they could not have Lord Ye in their hearts.

Why did he, Ye Qing, subtly let the people have this kind of thinking?

There is no need to think too much, the wolf's ambition can be said to be obvious!

At this very moment,
Master Zhang, who was in charge of training newcomers, continued: "Okay, besides these, your own iron processing level is also very important."

"You have a good level of iron processing, and even made armor for the rebels before."

"However, you must forget about those armor manufacturing techniques!"

"You are now like a cup filled with urine, you must pour out the urine in order to fill it with clean water!"

The rookie masters frowned, but they didn't say much, and the words were not rough.

And the technology here is indeed better than their existing technology, this is an indisputable fact.

The armor and weapons that have been equipped at the factory are enough to prove everything!
But Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing in the corner, felt very uncomfortable.

Especially with the display on this wall, he feels that this is saying that his imperial court's armor-making technique is muddy urine, and his Ye Qing's armor-making technique is pure and flawless water!

At this very moment,
Master Zhang continued to teach: "Everyone, please look carefully at the two rows of armor hanging on the wall!"

"The upper row is the general armor and soldier armor issued to our garrison by the imperial court, and the lower row is the improved armor produced by our Yanmen Arsenal!"

"Please take a look at it carefully. You must know where the armor craftsmanship of the imperial court is poor, and what is the armor craftsmanship of our Yanmen Arsenal, so that you can start production as quickly as possible."

"Know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. This phrase can be used on the battlefield as well as in production!"

"."

Following Master Zhang's explanation, the new masters immediately gathered together. While watching, they sighed in shock:

"I don't know if I don't compare them like this. If I compare them like this, it's a judgment call!"

"Just say that the soldier's armor is exactly the same in style and shape, but the armor issued by the imperial court has different distances between the armor plates, and the positions of the holes punched at the four corners of the armor plates are also different."

"Not only that, but there are quite a few gaps between the armor pieces of the soldier's body armor, not to mention all of them."

"And among these gaps, there are quite a few gaps that are relatively wide. If the Beiman's bow and arrow hit the gaps, they can directly shoot in!"

"The thickness of the nail plate is also inconsistent. If a relatively thin nail plate is placed on the heart and lungs, it is easy to be shot by a strong bow at close range."

"."

Because the armor of the Yanmen Arsenal perfectly eliminates these defects, so under the strong contrast, the new masters speak more and more vigorously.

In short, in one sentence, Mr. Ye's craftsmanship is good, but the imperial court's craftsmanship is poor.

At this moment, Master Zhang taught again loudly: "Okay, let me say something fair!"

"The armor issued by the imperial court does have these problems, and the armor produced by our Yanmen Arsenal does not have these problems at all."

"That's right, the technology of our Yanmen Arsenal is far superior to that of the Imperial Military Bureau!"

"It can also be said that Master Ye's craftsmanship is far superior to that possessed by His Majesty the Emperor!"

"However, this does not mean that His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial court are not responsible for the lives of the soldiers. It can only be said that their craftsmanship is at this level."

"Among you, there are also people who have made armor for the rebel army before, isn't it just at this level?"

"This sentence is the original words of Master Ye, and it is also what Master Ye wants me to tell each of you, everyone must keep it in mind!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang in the corner heard this, his heart that felt humiliated to the extreme eased a little bit.

But before he could analyze the purpose of Ye Qing's 'good words', which was barely a good word, Master Zhang spoke again.

"Respect for His Majesty the Emperor is a must!"

"Just like this display wall, the armor issued by His Majesty the Emperor must be placed at the top no matter how bad it is, and ours must be placed at the bottom no matter how good it is!"

"Although, this can't cover up the advantages of my Yanmen products!"

"In Lord Ye's original words, as a citizen of Daming, we must respect His Majesty the Emperor!"

As he said that, Master Zhang pointed to the display wall, and said in an emphatic tone, "Even if it's only superficial and formal respect, we must do it!"

When the rookie masters heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement.

in the corner,
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was wearing prison uniform No. 88, watched this scene and listened to this speech, he only wanted to do one thing.

That is to throw the six words "emotions and anger are invisible" as far as possible!
