Ertong has also transferred mules from Tianjin fireworks workshops from the blacksmith workshops in his late years... More than a dozen blacksmiths and apprentices are sure to be very familiar with the situation there.

There were people coming and going in the yard, and Wang Tong sat on the main hall and looked at the letters from the capital. In addition to the letters that communicated with Emperor Wanli and Zhang Cheng and other senior officials. He also kept letters between Li Wenyuan, Song Chanchan and Lu Wancai, which was the center of Ming Dynasty politics. The more news you know, the better.

There was a desk next to him, and Cai Nantuo was writing on a piece of paper. After writing a few words, he raised his head with some inconsistency and asked:

"Sir, this "all operations must be done using standard measuring tools. If there is any violation, it will be severely punished. If there is a big mistake, it will be punished. Do you think this sentence is appropriate or not."

Wang Tong raised his head, thought for a while and said:

"That's right. When he finished writing, he would read it to Ma Sanbiao and change it to vernacular. If he could understand, he would read it to the craftsmen and laborers in the workshop."

Cai Tao nodded and agreed, wrote a sentence and raised his head again. He hesitated and whispered:

"I have known adults for a year and have been working with them for less than a month, but I am so kind to you. I have to say some offense. I have to say that I am very good at it. I am the emperor who values ​​it. I am the Jinyiwei of Tianjin, and the Jinyi of Tianjin has accumulated such ills. The rectification has already shown results, and I can also see this real contribution. I should focus on it now, which will have great benefits for the future, but I am."

"Don't hesitate, just say, I won't blame you!"

"Then the villain is brave. Whether it is the ministers of the court or the father-in-law in the palace, everything will be ruled as an example. Our Jinyiwei is already a violation of the rules. Those who are disagreeing with the adults must take the opportunity to do anything behind their backs. If the adults focus on this workshop, it will probably be even worse!"

Wang Tong shook his head and smiled, and replied:

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and you will know in the future."

Without explaining too much, Cai Nan sighed in his heart. However, he was tactful and did not say anything more. After all, the Internet had just defected to Wang Tong, and some words could not be said too clearly.

Soon, Qiao Da and two craftsmen from the Fire Organ Shop came to the house, and the blacksmith shop was set up in the city. It was very convenient to greet him.

These people looked at the three foreigners kneeling in the yard in surprise, and respectfully entered the house and kowtowed. Wang Tong slowly repeated the words he had heard.

After saying that, the two craftsmen kowtowed to confirm their statement, and added

"These three people have the ability. The steel they make is indeed different. They also know how to build a good stove. They are too playful and go to the city to eat, drink and have fun all day, and work inappropriately."

Since you have the ability, it’s easy to say. Wang Tong nodded and asked the two craftsmen to go down, but left Qiao Da. Wang Tong slapped the table with his hand and asked with a smile:

"The iron you bought is good!"

Hearing this praise, Qiao Damei knelt on the ground with a smile and kowtowed again, saying respectfully:

"It's all about giving adults a small amount of money to do the best."

"Not only the goods are good, but the price is also cheap. You can bargain. It doesn't mean that the price will rise by 60%. You cut 20%. Then 40% will be sold with the seller at 73. If you want to deduct these 40%, how much can you be cheaper!"

Only then did Qiao Da realize what Wang was talking about. The smile on Wang Tong's face turned into a sneer, and he leaned against the back of the chair. He continued in a cold voice:

"I have been in Tianjin for less than half a year. I heard that you have already lived in a foreign house? Or the daughter of a scholar in Xianghe County, she is really promising!"

The ground in the house was covered with blue bricks, and Qi Da kowtowed tremblingly and knocked. His forehead was covered with blood. Wang Tong looked at it again in disgust and said coldly:

"I have found a craftsman who made the cannon for you. If you take it back, you will have to create a cannon for me within a month. If you can't make it, you can cut your head and make it. If you make it, you will be considered a silver reward!"

Qiao Da was shocked. He always thought that something seamless was destroyed by Wang Tong. He thought that he would definitely not be able to survive today, but he didn't expect that he would still have a way out.

For him, it was like a twitch between life and death, and staying there was at a loss. Wang Tong snorted coldly, and Qiao Da reacted, kowtowed more vigorously, and said in a crying voice:

"Even if the young man jumped into the stove, he would still make a cannon for the adults."

"If you use the money to build artillery, go to Zhang Shiqiang to withdraw it. If you need it, spend it. Wait for the amount of money you have greedy and report it to Zhang Shiqiang. In the future, no matter whether you are rewarded or cut off you, this is a certificate. Take the people away!"

Wang Tong waved his hand in disgust. Qiao Da kowtowed a few times there, crying and thanking him for quitting. The three foreign craftsmen kneeling outside looked at the situation in the hall, all of whom were a little stunned and a little nervous.

After the four craftsmen left, Wang Tong's face returned to normal and he shouted and said:

"Be prepared, let's go to Xingcai Inn before dark!"

Wang Tong's slaughter and everything just fell into Cai Nan's eyes. He watched Wang Tong's expression return to normal from the angry river. He casually revealed Qiao Da's secret, but he did not follow the aunt's slap in the outside world. This made Cai Nan really unable to understand. Wang Tong gathered the documents and other things together, and walked out after simply sorting them out.

Walking to the door, Wang Tong turned around and said with a smile:

"If he hadn't been in a hurry to build a cannon, he would have chopped off Qiao Da's head today. However, all the craftsmen in the workshop were his fellow villagers or his apprentices. He also contacted and bought iron, fuel and other miscellaneous household items. If he killed him, the workshop would probably be scrapped immediately. If he was in a hurry, he would use it as an incentive!"

It turns out that the soldiers from the Jinyiwei Qianhu in Tianjin are not useless. They are local natives, and the rumors about family matters are hard to escape their eyes and ears.

They also found out about Qiao Da's concubine. When the news reached the Hangzhou Bridge, the Hangzhou household immediately felt that this was a good opportunity to perform. They arranged for people to play chess everywhere, so Qiao Da's rebates and greed for money was just a secret, and when someone asked indirectly, he knew everything.

The news came to Wang Tong, and it happened to catch up with the incident of three foreign craftsmen. Wang Tong happened to knock on the shaking tiger and warn him.

Qiao Daben was the blacksmith sold by the wealthy businessman Gu Zibin. He had no friendship with him in life and death, nor had any blood relationship. Seeing Wang Tong having money, he must have had a bad idea.

When Wang Tong went out to get on the horse, he had already decided to arrange for Gu Zibin and Cai Nan to stare at the blacksmith workshop, and to build cannons, and a large amount of money and goods were coming in and out. If he didn't stare, he wouldn't know what to do.

When the sky was about to get dark, Chai Fulin, the owner of Tonghai Cargo Store, came to Panda's mansion in a carriage and asked someone to inform him according to the rules. Not long after, the housekeeper trotted out to greet him.

Panda, the official of the fourth rank of the military official, was at most a student who had donated his identity as a prison student. According to the rules, Chai Fulin would kneel down and kowtow when meeting.

But Panda, who had always been a rule, greeted him at the second gate. When he saw Chai Fulin, he clasped his fists and smiled and said:

"Boss Chai, you haven't seen him for half a month!"

"It's been half a month, I've only arrived at my home this afternoon. I'm here to visit you, sir."

"You are so kind, please, the tea is ready."

The conversation between the two parties showed no difference in identity at all, and it was completely like a peer-to-people relationship. After entering the house, the Chai Dong family took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, and asked with a smile:

"Three days ago, the goods from Yangzhou were delivered to the Lord's Mansion, but they were still satisfied?" Pan Da, who usually pretended to be reserved, was quite relaxed in front of Chai Fulin. When he heard this question, he held up the tea bowl and said with a smile:

"The women in Jiangnan are indeed extraordinary, tender and timid. It feels unique!"

"It's good if you like it. These girls are a top-notch guy in Jiangnan. This time I came here, but I heard the news that I wanted to tell you."

After a few casual conversations, Chai Fulin changed the topic casually, and Panda also put down the teacup and sat forward:

"Wang Tong has been thinking about casting artillery these days, asking for information from Lao Lu, but Lao Lu has no choice but to throw away three restless ghosts. Now his blacksmith shop has moved outside the city, turning on the furnace and setting fires every day, and recruiting laborers everywhere. Haha, he is still a child who has never grown up. He has just been at peace for a few days, and he has become fun."

Hearing this, Panda snorted coldly and said disdainfully:

"Apart from such strange tricks and tricks, the vulgar villain can know what to do, it is nothing more than a waste of money, grain and public curtain."

"It's good to do this. The artillery is made by the skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Works and the Imperial Supervision. What can he do? If he is busy, he will not be able to inquire about it."

Panda nodded in contemplation, picked up the tea bowl and left the foam, and whispered:

"Seven hundred and thirty canal ships, 580,000 stones of grain, you will send someone to quench it tomorrow. The number of pieces will not be much different."

When Chai Fulin heard this, he showed a smile on his face, and stood up and fisted and said:

"I have to worry about it."

Panda took a sip of tea and said with some concern:

"I am always worried about the Jinyiwei. It is better to arrange people to keep an eye on it. Wang Tong relies on the power of the capital, and he has become more serious about the bad habits of the monk. Don't do anything else to do!"

"Please rest assured, Wang Tong's every move is watched, and he will be rewarded in two hours."

As the sky gradually became dark, the city gates closed, and both sides of the canal became quiet. The lobby of Xingcai Inn was filled with merchants and travelers from all over the place. Wang Tong and his subordinates sat in the fall without paying attention.

"Master, there are a few people who have been staring at us."

Tan Bing suddenly came over and whispered.
