Chapter 754 The skill of painting flatbread is widely spread
"How about it being made by a common craftsman, what do you think?"
Don't make things difficult for Master Wei anymore.
Anyway, I can't get it in stock.
Pu Chao was in a difficult position.
It's all because he was temporarily stupid and his hands were too fast, and he made a big mistake.
It seems that Wang Mi is also responsible for this matter.
Who made him come back so quickly?
Hurry up, hurry up, you should stay in Jiankang City for a while, and you have to leave soon.
He is not afraid of getting tired even after tossing and tossing.
Still young!
Pu Chao took a deep breath. In the end, he had to take the blame.
"Actually, it was Old General Huan Chonghuan who transported two more batches of artillery and pistols, which caused our inventory to be low."
"Old General Huan?"
"You actually still have contact?" Wang Mi was shocked.
This was something he never expected.
Pu Chao nodded helplessly.
It's not his initiative that this kind of contact can be maintained.
They were all seduced by Huan Chong.
Although Huan Chong is a carefree person who seems not to care about anything, in fact, he is very clever.
He is old and has eaten more salt than Wang Mi has traveled.
A proper old fox.
Even Wang Mi was confused by him.
I thought he was really wise and foolish and didn't care about anything.
In fact, they are quite smart.
He was indeed quite happy to sponsor Jiang's workshop, which impressed Pu Chao and others.
But at the same time, he will not suffer any loss.
On the surface, he just took away a batch of artillery, which had been promised when Wang Mi was here.
But in fact, since he succeeded once, Mr. Huan has tasted the sweetness.
From time to time, I wrote to Pu Chao, begging him to give him more assistance.
The so-called assistance can also be found in the general's workshop, which is of course artillery and pistols.
At first, Pu Chao shook his head and refused.
Although he is older, his memory is not bad.
Wang Mi’s instructions are all in my heart.
The batch of artillery being produced now will be handed over to the brothers in Beifu.
How could it be handed over to Huan Chong?
Furthermore, Huan Chong had already taken away two batches of food, so he didn’t realize that he was hungry when he was full.
Unexpectedly, Huan Chong was particularly perseverant in this matter.
Not only do they have letters, they also have money.
Anyone with a clear mind will know that if you only use words, no actions, and no money to deal with a major cover-up, it is absolutely impossible to succeed.
Lao Jianghu Huan Chong knew this very well.
Seeing that Pu Chao refused to submit, he asked his subordinates who stayed behind in Jiankang City to raise a large sum of money and send it to the general's workshop.
Seeing the money, Pu Chao had only one idea.
It’s not that he’s not determined, it’s just that they gave him too much!
"So, Pu Jiangzuo gave all those artillery pieces to General Huan?" Wang Mi showed an expression that was uglier than eating shit.
Pu Chao was also embarrassed, but since he couldn't produce anything in kind, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
"Exactly."
"But Mr. Wang, don't be too anxious. The craftsmen in the workshop are now quite skilled in making artillery and pistols."
"The craftsmen should be able to make up for the missing parts soon."
"The general craftsman is doing it, the general craftsman is doing it, you are a bad learner."
The unprovoked words made everyone present dumbfounded.
"Wang Shilang, why do you say this?"
"I really didn't mean it."
"You also know that a few days ago, the workshop's funds were tight, and I had no choice." Pu Chao thought that Wang Mi was blaming him for giving the cannon to Huan Chong privately, so he hurriedly expressed.
I always have difficulties.
A last resort.
Unexpectedly, Wang Mi shook his head: "Pujiang Zuo, that's not what I'm talking about."
What's that?
Pu Chao was even more confused.
He is older, and he really can't understand the twists and turns of young people.
Wang Mi didn't embarrass him, he just said: "You actually learned how to draw big cakes."
What does drawing a pie mean?
A fog of mystery arose in Pu Chao's mind.
I can't understand it at all.
"How can such a large number of artillery pieces be completed in just a few days?"
"You obviously can't finish it, but you're still bragging here. Isn't this perfunctory for me?"
Pu Chao nodded, it turned out that this was just a pie.
Then he did draw it.
Wang Mi: This old man actually dares to nod!
"I can't help it either."
"I originally hoped that you would be able to return to Jingkou later, and we would step up production here and get through it. Who knew you would be leaving so soon?"
"It was really caught off guard."
Since he told the truth this time, Wang Mi forgave him.
However, there was one point that made him very concerned.
"It turns out that Pujiang Zuo also guessed that I would stay in Jiankang for a short time?"
Was he so obvious?
Pu Chao bared his teeth: "It's obvious but not very obvious. I'm just familiar with Wang Shilang's personality."
"Knowing that Shilang Wang is so talented and powerful, he will definitely not be able to stay long in the wealthy town of Jiankang."
How nice is Jingkou!
He is always on guard, wielding swords and guns. He is too old.
If he were twenty years younger, he would want to join the army!
"Pu Jianzuo is right, I will be leaving in a few days."
"So, the masters don't have much time." Wang Mi spoke weakly. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
I thought I would be able to return home with a full load this time, but I didn't expect that Mr. Huan, an old fox, would get there first.
Cut off!
Fortunately, these artillery pieces are not in urgent need and can be transported to Jingkou in batches.
Besides, Jingkou is not far from Jiankang, so we should be able to make it in time.
The most important thing is that there is no large-scale war now, Di Qin is in chaos, and everything is still easing.
In short, the advantage is mine.
The current Beifu soldiers are the ones who take the initiative to fight. As for when to attack, it depends on Wang Mi's mood.
"Shilang Wang, I'm really sorry. General Huan was too generous with his actions. The workshop's limited resources are really hard to support, so..."
Wang Mi came to the yard to inspect the cannons that had been produced. Pu Chaozhou was accompanying him, but he felt guilty and kept explaining.
Wang Mi waved his hand to stop him.
"Common craftsmanship is a thing of the past, so there is no need to mention it again."
"I don't mean to blame you."
"This was originally my mistake. I should have sent you all the money a long time ago, and I had to keep an eye on the expenses in the workshop. It was my failure to do this that made it difficult for you, General Craftsman."
"Thinking about it this way, Mr. Huan has solved our urgent need."
"We should thank him."
Pu Chao laughed awkwardly a few times. He always felt that Wang Mi was gritting his teeth when he said these words.
thank him.
Thanks to his eight generations of ancestors!
Because time was urgent, the craftsmen worked day and night. Many artillery pieces were hastily prepared and piled up in the central yard without any time to manage them.
Fortunately, the recent weather has been very good, with cool autumn breeze and rare coolness and dryness. It is a good time to dry the artillery and preserve the gunpowder.
"Besides, you don't have to worry about general craftsmanship. I can't bear the loss." Wang Mi stood up, dusted his hands, and said with a smile.
Pu Chao stroked his beard and didn't understand.
Although Pu Chao was very interested in making these new weapons, to be honest, he still knew nothing about these technologies.
The twists and turns in it are even more difficult to understand.
Of course Wang Mi would give him some advice.
"General Huan is still a little impatient after all. Although I promised to give him part of the artillery, he did get a lot of real objects."
"But when these weapons are officially put into use, he will know that there are still many things that he has not figured out yet!"
"Gunpowder is susceptible to moisture. Once it gets damp, it will affect its use. There will be many empty packets. As for the preservation method of gunpowder and artillery, you haven't had time to tell General Huan yet."
Pu Chao was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It's true that I haven't had time to say it yet."
It wasn't that Pu Chao was deliberately holding back a move, but that Mr. Huan was so eager to take advantage that he took the artillery away regardless of whether it was three, seven, twenty-one or four, six, twenty-four.
Regarding the precautions for preservation and use, I just swallowed them in a hurry, listened to them, and didn't take them into my mind at all.
Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that I really didn't warn him carefully.
"However, along the way, from Jingkou to Jingzhou, we must pass through waterways." Pu Chao suddenly thought of this.
Of course, waterways are unavoidable. Mr. Huan's personality will definitely not think things through so carefully.
Plus, if you take advantage of it, it will be so beautiful.
Can you still take care of so much?
In his opinion, when batch after batch of artillery pieces are all in place, it would be good to have half of them ready for use.
After all the calculations, General Huan's deal was a huge loss!
By the time he discovered that the artillery was unusable, it was too late. Who could he hold responsible?
Pu Chao couldn't complain, they didn't want to give it to him in the first place, he was the one who made it easy for him.
As for Wang Mi, it is even more impossible!
On the surface, Wang Mi had no knowledge of these transactions!
In comparison, Jingkou is still closer to Jiankang. In modern times, this is almost a matter of stepping on the accelerator.
Although the water route is quite convenient, the land route is not impossible.
For the sake of the effectiveness of gunpowder, Wang Mi had already told his officers and soldiers to pay attention to the land route when transporting.
It doesn't matter if you waste a little more time, be sure not to let the gunpowder get wet.
No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.
What's more, although the inventory of weapons in the workshop does not meet Wang Mi's requirements, it can still be put into several carts after being pieced together.
While Wang Mi was busy collecting good things from his home, a small figure suddenly appeared next to the workshop archway.
I saw that the man was wearing silk clothes, and he was well-groomed from top to bottom. He looked like a book boy from a rich family, always looking like a follower.
He blinked his flexible eyes and carefully stared at the movement of the palace's carriage, watching a group of people carrying various boxes up and down.
He nodded repeatedly and smiled strangely from time to time.
Finally, when Wang Mi and Pu Chao began to say goodbye, he saw the opportunity and left quietly...
…………
In the blink of an eye, Wang Mi's motorcade was swaying. Before they could rush back to the palace, on the same street, Chen Jun Xie's mansion had already received the news.
"Lord, it's absolutely true, I saw everything."
"Shilang Wang went to Jiang's workshop again."
"Moreover, they took away a lot of things from the workshop and put them in boxes. I didn't see clearly what was inside."
In broad daylight, the only person in Wuyi Alley who would pay attention to a cold government office like Jiang Zuofang, except Wang Mi, is Xie An.
Xie An didn't take the initiative to pay attention to the workshop. He was just paying attention to what his grandson-in-law was doing every day, and he also followed the workshop by the way.
"There are weapons in there."
"Zhiyuan has told me before." Xie An grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the pond.
In an instant, as the fish food fell into the water, a group of fish quickly crowded together and competed for the food.
"What a useless thing!"
Xie Xiang was stunned for a moment, not knowing who the master was scolding. It couldn't be Mr. Wang Xiaolang.
"My lord, since Wang Xiaolangjun has already started transporting weapons, he probably won't be able to stay in the city for long." Having been with Xie An for many years and having a smart head, Xie Xiang is still very good at figuring out Xie An's thoughts.
Thorough.
Xie An turned around and handed the remaining fish food to Xie Xiang.
He smiled and said, "This boy really can't take any time off."
"It's completely opposite to my temperament."
Ever since he was young, Xie An has had a quiet and lazy personality. He often lives in seclusion, meets occasionally, and living a leisurely life is his highest pursuit.
However, Wang Mi is completely different.
Although he is younger, he is full of energy and loves to do nothing all day long.
Xie An recalled that when he was young, his spirit could not be compared with that of his grandson-in-law.
"My lord, while Wang Xiaolang hasn't left yet, why don't you meet him?"
Now among the two families of Wang and Xie, Xie An has the highest rank and the most power.
Wang Mi is going to Jingkou to do something important. Before he dies, he should say hello to everyone's parents.
Xie An was not in a hurry, he just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter."
"If that kid knows how to do things, he will come by himself. If he doesn't come, I won't force him."
In fact, Xie An didn't really care about seeing him off.
What he cares about is Wang Mi's true temperament.
Someone had previously patted his chest and promised that as long as he wanted to take the lead in fighting, he would never forget Xie An.
You have to say hello to him in advance.
Xie An actually didn't care when he left Jiankang and what he did when he arrived in Jingkou.
He supports young people who are ambitious and motivated.
Although Wang Mi is not from the Xie family, he is also a top aristocratic family in the south.
Among the children of their aristocratic families, each generation must produce one or two capable and capable talents.
He had already spotted it and placed his bet.
He has taken a liking to this boy Wang Mi.
Since it is the person you like, you should give him space and let him do things freely.
It should be said that since the military power of Beifu was handed over to Wang Mi, Xie An would turn a blind eye to his little tricks. There is a limit. As long as Wang Mi does not exceed that limit, what he does will...
Xie An would acquiesce.
However, at the critical moment, in the blink of an eye, will he still think of Xie An?
Will he still fulfill his promise?
This is the focus of Xie An's attention.
Once Wang Mi went out alone and left his old man behind, Xie Anke would not spare him.
Now, it depends on what he wants.
In other words, those who are filial know to come and see.
Unfilial...
He is considered blind!
