In the first month of the first month, the festive atmosphere in Zhongzuo Suo is even better than that in Chaozhou. This is the base camp of the Zheng Group. The island is mostly populated by military lieutenants, government officials, people engaged in maritime trade and their families. For Ming Dynasty,

They feel the victory of the Ming army more deeply than other ordinary people. Especially in the second half of last year, their Ming army blossomed in Guangdong and Fujian provinces. Not only was it not as easy as the center and left,

Under threat, more importantly, the overall strategic environment and momentum are completely different. When hope grows in the eyes, people will naturally become more excited.

The festive atmosphere is still continuing to ferment. In the Guangzhou people's settlement area outside Qianhusuo City, just like Chaozhou, many people have begun to make preparations. For example, Nie Yiniang's mother's family and husband's family live next to each other...

…

Also outside Senhusho City, the huge Arms Bureau has become an iconic landmark in Zhongzuo Shang over the past few years. The Arms Bureau's workshop is a residential area for craftsmen.

The South Australian Ordnance Bureau back then was average.

In the small courtyard of Lin Zhengzhong, the former head of the defense yard, several children ran out of the yard chasing each other, happily. In the yard, Lin Zhengzhong's daughter-in-law and her daughter, who had just followed her husband back to her parents' home, were still busy preparing meals.

, chatting about one thing or another, and there were a few bursts of laughter.

In the main room of the small courtyard, several middle-aged men were sitting around an Eight Immortals table. There were some melon seeds, peanuts, etc. on the table, but they had not touched even one since they were served. They sat quietly.

In the saucer, I listened to the deliberately lowered voices of the huge creatures around me.

"Have you heard that during this first month, the Chaozhou Manufacturing Bureau only had a break for three or four days, and the workshop was still working day and night?"

"This news is out of date. I heard about it two days ago."

"I've also heard about it. It's said that in addition to manufacturing weapons, they also need to manufacture metal parts for new hydraulic machinery. With the current scale, the Ordnance Bureau is no longer allowed. If it continues to expand, then we will still have it.

Is it a meal?"

Lin Zhengzhong's son was still working in the workshop, and his son-in-law was sitting at the door, seeming to be observing something outside. You and I were talking at the table, and Lin Zhengzhong, who looked gloomy and uncertain, heard this.

, finally spoke out.

"I'm afraid that even if the manufacturing bureau doesn't expand, we don't have much time left."

Once these words were spoken, everyone looked at Lin Zhengzhong with widened eyes. Even his son-in-law abandoned his sentry duty and stared at his master and father-in-law.

All that could be heard was the sound of someone swallowing saliva.

They were all the earliest craftsmen of the old South Australia Ordnance Bureau and the backbone of technical management. Chen Kai always valued them very highly when he was here. But when Feng Chengshi took over, he first established rules and then moved them.

After arriving at the Zhongzuo Institute, the original benefits were basically gone, and all that was left was to work hard. If that was all, it was nothing more than leading everyone to work hard, but Feng was still

Cheng Shi regarded them as Chen Kai's people and ostracized them. Now, their identities as craftsmen have long been revealed. Just to appease them, they only get a few more coins than ordinary craftsmen. They are far from being able to compete with the craftsmen.

Compared with the status and treatment I had when I was the head.

"Second brother Lin, tell me, will that person named Feng blame us for the previous production cuts?"

Tang Quanyou, the original headsmith of the Sword, Spear, and Spear Academy, suddenly thought of that old incident, and he always felt uneasy in his heart. At this moment, Lin Zhengzhong said something strangely, Tang Quanyou immediately thought of this, and immediately

It caused everyone to break out in cold sweat again.

"No, didn't you say that Feng Canjun wanted to restore the old system when he joined the army?"

"That's a stop-gap measure to appease people's hearts. That man named Feng has never been a fuel-efficient person. Do you think he will live in the shadow of joining the army?"

This shout made everyone's eyes go straight. Since Feng Chengshi joined the Ordnance Bureau, he has always squeezed their labor force through pure bureaucracy. The heavier the tasks assigned by his superiors, Feng Chengshi naturally responded in the same way.

, or press down harder until the rubber band breaks.

Last year's major production reduction was caused by this. The result was that Feng Chengshi lost face within Zheng Chenggong and the entire Zheng Group. Especially because at that time, if it were not for Chen Kai's manufacturing bureau relying on the epoch-making production capacity of the hydraulic workshop

, in addition to the deployment of a large number of weapons from the war battalions in eastern Guangdong, this gap was blocked. Otherwise, even the major counterattack sweeping across Fujian would be affected.

After that incident, Feng Chengshi began to work hard to appease everyone and restore welfare benefits. This undoubtedly made him the laughing stock of more people, who laughed at him for tampering with Chen Kai's old system. In the end, not only did Chen Kai come to give him

To wipe his butt, he has to follow Chen Kai's method again. Many people have laughed at him for adding superfluous things - always, there are always those who want to make a snake look like a dragon, but often the dragon is not turned into a dragon.

It was painted as a gecko.

Similar gossips have never been rare on this island. After all, it was the first-born Zi Zi who died first. Feng Chengshi had been one of Zheng Chenggong's most trusted aides in the past few years, otherwise he would not have been allowed to take over the Arms Bureau.

Because they value his ability. Naturally, there will be those who are jealous and climb high and push low.

Always, temporary forbearance is for the subsequent outbreak. Feng Chengshi is definitely not the kind of person who will tolerate for a lifetime. Since an outbreak is going to happen, he will definitely start with these craftsmen. If not, they will be the first to bear the brunt.

The atmosphere was overcast for a while, as if black clouds were pressing over the top, and even the air was a bit solemn. Outside, the dishes were ready. Lin Zhengzhong's son-in-law blocked the door, but he shook his head and signaled to his wife who was holding the plate.

Let's go back for now until the discussion inside is finished.

Such an atmosphere will not last long, and there will always be someone who speaks first. This time, it was Na Tang Quanyou, who seemed to have remembered something, coughed slightly, and then leaned forward a little: "My apprentice's

My wife said..."

Tang Quanyou finished talking about this matter that seemed to have nothing to do with the current situation in a sneaky way, but everyone looked at me and me at you, and then one of them swallowed and asked him tentatively.

Said: "Would this cause too much trouble?"

If the commotion becomes serious, a detailed investigation will naturally be inevitable. If it is found out, it will not be what it is now. However, at this point, Lin Zhengzhong, Tang Quanyou and others seem to have made up their minds: "This kind of thing,

All we need to do is push him from the side, and his whereabouts will not be exposed so easily. What's more, the man named Feng is showing weakness now, and he may not have much ability. If we don't do anything at this time, wait for him to calm down.

Come on, we are the ones who are going to die!"

………………

On the first day of February in the ninth year of Yongli, the New Year's holiday of the Ordnance Bureau of Zhongzuo Institute came to an end. Early in the morning, among the people going to work, there was a group of women rushing to the military uniform manufacturing workshop in the city. They were all in that factory. The tailoring workers at the workshop. Due to the busy schedule of the New Year, especially women, those who are married and those who have not yet left the court, they are always bound to take care of the household affairs. Therefore, even this building has always been known for its yin and yang decline in the Arms Bureau. The large-scale workshops had to wait until most of the female workers had finished their work before they could officially start work. Before that, it was just scattered.

While walking on the road, many of whom I haven’t seen in a while, the female workers couldn’t help chatting and laughing, some of them were short-tempered, and there were many pretentious comparisons about what the family ate and used during the Chinese New Year, which was very lively.

"This year, my husband followed Marshal Wang to regain Xinghua Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture, and there will be many rewards for military achievements. My father-in-law was very happy and asked his brother-in-law to buy Xinlexuan's snacks for the New Year. They are sweet and delicious."

"The same goes for my family. It's a pity that my husband is still in Jianning Mansion, guarding the Xianxia Pass where he saw a ghost, and he can't go back. Otherwise, it would be great to be reunited as a family."

"Why, you little girl, you want a man."

"I mean, auntie, the young couple separated just a few months after they got married. It's only right to think about it. You and my uncle are already an old married couple, and the children are all around. It seemed like it was the same just now. If you think too hard, you will blame Madam Liao."

"You little girl, how dare you make fun of your aunt before we get married, and I will tear your mouth apart."

"..."

This is not the first year. Ever since Chen Kai established a military uniform manufacturing workshop in Nan'ao Island, it has been like this every year. It has never changed. If we really have to say it is a change, then it is the number of female workers every year. They will all change due to reasons such as getting married, and the topics will be more or less different.

Production was officially resumed on the first day. Although some female workers had come back to catch up on the work in the first month, there were still a lot more people. The managers responsible for arranging manpower started working from early in the morning, assigning experienced workers based on their memory. They continued to do the work they did before the holiday last year. The newbies filled in the vacancies according to the skills of the female celebrities, that is, they were responsible for some heavy lifting work.

After a long time, the distribution was finally completed. Once the working method of the garment manufacturing industry was launched, the workshop immediately became busy, even so busy that the nearby female workers could not even think of a word.

"You, go to the warehouse to find some fabrics. There are a few sets of officers' uniforms that need to be cut."

"The slave family knows."

The person who took the order was a young woman who had just married a Ming army commander on the island last year. She was a skilled worker, so she didn't have to carry it around, but the supervisor still assigned her this job, which attracted the attention of those around her. Thefts from several female workers who have worked here for many years.

"Working hours are not for you to chat about home affairs!"

The authority of the supervisor is still there, but more importantly, the jobs in this military uniform manufacturing workshop are very rare. If a woman can work here, the family will have a lot of income, which is much better than that of a man. It’s not much different, and people are naturally flocking to it in the job market.

There is no need to lose your job just for a few gossips. The supervisor shouted sharply, and the female workers immediately fell silent. At this time, the female worker walked out of the workshop door alone, with a pair of natural But the little feet walked very fast, and soon arrived at the warehouse guarded by only one person.

She also knew the guard. She nodded, opened the door and walked in. Since it was used to make military uniforms for officers, the fabrics stored here were naturally of higher quality. The female worker entered the door and turned around.

When she closed the door, she didn't know that at this moment, a pair of big hands suddenly grabbed her from her waist and pulled her into her arms, and the door was almost not closed.

"I miss you so much."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and hurriedly kissed the female worker's face. The female worker was a little frightened at first, but when she heard the voice, her expression relaxed, she touched her hands on her waist, turned her head, and kissed her lips

Then they were glued together with the big mouth, squirming and sucking, no longer caring about the fact that the door had not yet been bolted from the inside.

With the four lips connected, a big hand climbed up the mountain, as if to crush it. The other big hand was already busy looking for the restraints around the waist to help the person in his arms release the most primitive desires.

After the initial madness, the two of them were already disheveled. Immediately afterwards, the man picked up the female worker and strode to the deepest part of the warehouse shelves, where a pile of military uniform fabrics were already thrown on the ground and spread out.

It has to be like a bed.

He walked closer in three steps, threw the female worker over, and took off several official uniforms from her body. The man followed closely behind and threw himself into the fiery red field.

In the middle, there were bursts of panting, lowered voices of "um um ah ah", and occasionally there seemed to be crackling sounds, which was not enough to explain to outsiders.

This went on for a while. The man held the female worker in his arms, and the two of them lay on the already wet military uniform fabrics, breathing heavily.

"You're a dead man, you're so anxious, you don't even look like you're in charge. Look, the door isn't even locked. What if someone sees it?"

"Don't worry, my cousin is the only one outside, and no one can get in." As he spoke, the man stroked the fair skin of the female worker, biting the earlobe that was dripping with blood: "Why don't you call me

Then my cousin will come in too, and the three of us can have some fun."

"Bah, you are going to kill the slave family."

Chatting and laughing, the two seemed to have feelings again, and soon hugged each other again, as if they wanted to integrate each other into their bodies.

Outside, the guard was still guarding the door, but he had put one ear to the window, swallowing saliva in his thirsty mouth, but he still couldn't relieve the burning feeling in the slightest.

There were two scores inside, and the guard quickly drank a mouthful of cold water from a large water tank used to put out fires to suppress the anger. But at this moment, the door of the warehouse, which deliberately lacked necessary guards, was

After breaking open, a group of middle-aged women rushed in regardless of the guards in front of them, as if they knew the way, and ran straight to the warehouse where the chaos was going on.

"What are you doing? Don't you know that breaking into a warehouse without permission is a serious crime!"

The guard couldn't care less, picked up the knife and rushed forward, but those women were not afraid at all.

The movement outside immediately alerted the men and women inside. From the sound, it seemed that there was the mother-in-law of the female worker inside. The two had had affairs here many times and had never been discovered. Unexpectedly, they were found this time.
