The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 80 The Dragon Besieged by a Tigress, Lord Ye Utilizes the Waste of the Emperor's Grace
"What are you doing?"

"Such a good armor, how can you take it apart as soon as you say it?"

"This is all His Majesty's grace to the frontier army. How can you tear it down as soon as you say it?"

"You guys are so courageous!"

"Who is it, who gave you such courage?"

"."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his lungs would explode again.

Facing these female workers who did their duty, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were scarlet, almost catching up with the red-hot soldering iron.

This was the first time he had such a big fire since he went on tour in micro-service.

The last time he made such a big fuss was when he saw Ye Qing's extremely arrogant self-report letter.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but also Mao Xiang who heard the news, and the dozen or so pro-military guards were also full of anger.

Of course, apart from anger, there is more of a pity!

As early as the No. [-] rough processing workshop,
When Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were stacking raw materials, they also saw a lot of craftsmanship that they had never seen before, especially Ye Qing's full use of water power, which made him amazed.

The armor of the soldiers is mainly square pieces of mahjong-sized armor, which are arranged on the inner lining.

The manufacturing of the armor by the Imperial Military Bureau is still at the level of half manpower and half machine, so there will be different sizes and deviations in the punching positions.

But here it has reached the level of cutting and punching with hydraulic machinery. As long as the mold is fixed, there will be no such deviation at all.

Not only that, but also because of the repetition of the machinery, the output has been increased several times.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to own both the so-called "assembly line operation method" and the sequence of processes, or the hydraulic machinery with complicated gears.

The more you want to own it, the more difficult it is to decide whether to kill Ye Qing or not.

This is his reaction in Workshop No. [-], nothing can be seen!

But as soon as he came to No. [-] finishing workshop, he saw nearly a thousand sets of finished soldier armor piled up next to this workstation.

And the breastplates of these armors were engraved with words.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, in order to pursue quality problems, the information of the production workshop must be engraved.

Of course, there will only be workshop information, and it will definitely not be engraved with the personal information of the craftsman like the bricks of the city wall. After all, the master who makes the armor is also a confidential talent.

But it was also the names of the workshops under the Imperial Armament Bureau that made Zhu Yuanzhang realize at once that these armors piled up on the ground waiting to be dismantled were all frontier soldiers' armor issued by the imperial court.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was bleeding when he looked at the soldiers' armor piled up on the ground waiting to be dismantled, and at the pieces of armor that had been dismantled and loaded into carts.

"You can make better armor, you are amazing!"

"You just dismantle His Majesty's grace to the frontier army and throw it away!"

"That's right, the Imperial Armament Bureau's armor-making technology is not as good as yours, you look down upon it!"

"But you must know that His Majesty the Emperor has told the officials more than once that the northern frontier army prepares for war all year round, and must choose the best weapons and armor, and give priority to the northern army!"

"Even if you have the ability to change clothes, isn't it good to use these armors as spare armor?"

"Why do you want to tear it down?"

"Why do you want to spoil His Majesty's grace so much!"

"."

Speaking of this, there were some tears in Zhu Yuanzhang's scarlet eyes.

He was angry that these people treated his Zhu Yuanzhang's grace as waste, and he was even more angry that these people ruined things.

He has personally been to the armory workshop under the Armament Bureau, and he has personally shaken the hands of the craftsmen that are full of stains and holes!
Looking at those hands, he hated himself for not being able to treat them better.

It can also be said that these little touches are the driving force for him to become a model worker emperor!
But now it's a good thing, these people treat the painstaking efforts of those masters as waste, which really makes people angry and sad!

He also knew that these people were not to blame for all of this. For them, this was just a job to make a living.

All of this should be blamed on Ye Qing, the magistrate of Yanmen County!
Thinking of this, he laughed at himself again:

"Why are we so angry with a guy from a private arsenal?"

"Such a guy who has only superficial and formal respect for our emperor."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind again.

He will wait to meet Queen Ma, this is what he promised Queen Ma, and he must do it!
But he will definitely not let Ye Qing go, even if Empress Ma says it won't work!
And at this moment,
These female workers who were scolded head-on and covered their faces were the same as Master Zhang and the others before, and they were frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's aura from the beginning.

But after Zhu Yuanzhang's aura weakened a little, they realized his prison uniform.

In the next moment, these market women who have never lost a curse at others, just put their hips on their hips and began to curse.

The ten tigress showed their power, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the dragon whose prison uniform sealed most of the dragon's power, was scolded instantly and lost his way.

If it weren't for Lao Liu's explanation while "escorting" them to escape from No. [-] workshop, they would have been surrounded and beaten by everyone in the workshop.

These big-bodied market women are the ones who really dare to copy guys to death, or the ones who just bite when they get angry!
After escaping,
Old Liu laughed straight away: "Da Ming Fan Zhongyan, put away your extra stupid loyalty!"

"Let me tell you that our Master Ye's request to do this is the greatest reward to His Majesty the Emperor."

Hearing such a point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately stunned.

Not only him, but even Mao Xiang and others all stared at this ordinary transport team leader.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked, "How do you say that?"

Lao Liu explained: "The armor made by the imperial court is made of insufficiently hammered iron. It has not eliminated the influence of coal and iron smelting at all. It is very brittle!"

"And the thickness of the soldiers' armor varies. Once the enemy cavalry's strong bow shoots the thin and brittle armor at close range, it will shatter like porcelain falling to the ground."

"At that time, in addition to being injured by arrows, soldiers will also be injured by their own armor!"

Hear this,

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately remembered the scene on the battlefield, and there are indeed many such situations.

There was no other way. They had to concentrate their efforts on hammering and forging the iron materials used to make knives, guns and arrows. They had to sacrifice the hammering power of the iron materials used to make armor.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang realized this problem, Lao Liu continued: "But our Master Ye also said that this is already carefully selected by the imperial court, and the armor of the Northern Army is given priority."

"So, we can't waste it, we have to equip a batch, and just return a batch!"

"In the original words of our Master Ye, 'in this matter, waste utilization is the greatest reward to the emperor'!"

Especially the word 'waste utilization', Lao Liu's volume and tone have increased a lot!
