Imperial Envoy Mulong'e enjoyed a roasted camel banquet at noon, the "special side dish" of the arsenal. He drank wine until about two o'clock in the afternoon, and then took a nap. He didn't get up until almost four o'clock in the afternoon. The innermost "egg" of the roasted camel was now gone.
It's in his box.
The "egg" is cut open in the middle. The white part is Hotan mutton-fat white jade, and the yolk part is Shoushan Tianhuang stone. It is the same size as a real egg. It goes without saying that the value of the white jade that can be called "mutton-fat jade" is high, and the yolk is Shoushan Tianhuang stone.
Yamada Huang is even said to be "one inch of Tianhuang, one inch of gold". It is made of top quality materials, coupled with lifelike and delicate workmanship... Mulong's forehead is the real thing. At that time, someone wiped off the soup, took it in his hand and rubbed it a few times.
It was immediately judged that the value of this "egg" was no less than five thousand oceans.
(Setting note: Unlike the gold standard of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties adopted a silver-standard currency system. The official name of the currency was "Qing coins", which included silver dollars and banknotes. It was commonly known as "Qingyang", "Longyang", "
"Dayang". Each silver dollar weighs seven cents and two cents, that is, 22.5 grams of silver. 1 Qingyang = 0.43 Mingyang.)
Now that he woke up from sleep, the factory director Niu Zhongqing immediately came up to him and said one after another that the imperial envoy had worked hard all the way and there was no need to work so hard. He had just arrived today and it was not too late to clean up on the first day and start inspecting official duties the next day. But Mu
Long'e wanted to start checking quickly to see how much money this factory director who was as fat as himself had made, and he couldn't let him fool him.
Mu Long'e hummed in an official voice, saying that he had the emperor's orders on his shoulders and did not dare to neglect, and insisted that he start inspecting the factory in the afternoon. Seeing this, Niu Zhongqing naturally could only say: "You will do your best for the country."
People, who work tirelessly, are role models for our generation.”
The arsenal was very large. The group of people drove deep into the factory area. They first took a tour of several production workshops, and then focused on inspecting the warehouse, raw material warehouse and finished product warehouse.
Mu Long, who had been humming and hahaha while eating, suddenly turned into a selfless and selfless Mr. Bao, who was extremely serious and ready to investigate the filth and evil in this arsenal.
Zhongqing and a group of officials below him suddenly became nervous.
The "egg" at noon was only worth six or seven thousand oceans. It was nothing at all. It was just a greeting gift for the imperial envoy and a lucky draw during the meal, which made the imperial envoy happy. The real money for the fortress was still behind... The imperial envoy
Don't you think that's all, do you? In that case, you would think you were just sending beggars away.
The sweat on Niu Zhongqing's face started to drop. Looking at the selfless look of the Imperial Envoy, he regretted not telling the Imperial Envoy earlier. If the Imperial Envoy was not satisfied and wanted to correct himself, then as long as he was willing to correct himself, he would not be able to save the heads of so many people.
In the raw material warehouse, Mu Long touched the purple-red copper bars stacked on the ground with his feet and asked lightly:
"Master Niu, are these the raw materials for making bullets?"
Niu Zhongqing secretly wiped his sweat and said with a careful smile:
"Master Mu, I think this is the raw material copper used to make bullets."
"Lord Niu," Mu Long asked with a calm expression, "These coppers... It seems to me that they have been piled here for a long time, right?"
Niu Zhongqing was startled and sweat started to flow down his face. He braced himself and said with a smile:
"Master Mu, actually... it doesn't take long. I often have to use out the old ones and bring in new ones... Haha, it's so hot and the air is damp. It only takes one day for the shiny pure copper to turn gray.
, Haha, it looks like it has been there for a year and a half...hehehe..."
...However, these copper bars not only turned gray, but also accumulated dust. Many of them also developed a patina. Copper is different from iron. If you want to rust, it will take a few months.
But Mu Long'e just nodded, sneered, and didn't continue to ask.
There were not many copper bars placed in the corner, only about ten or twenty tons. Mu Long'e asked:
"Is the raw copper all here? Is there any elsewhere?"
Niu Zhongqing doesn't dare to lie. They are indeed here. Besides, there are other places. If the imperial envoy wants to see them, he can't come out.
After Mu Long'e and his men wrote down the specific number, he ordered:
"Let's go to the warehouse of raw material tungsten."
The cold sweat on Niu Zhongqing's back almost soaked his clothes. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this imperial envoy knew his stuff. He could tell at a glance where he mainly made money, and he focused on the most dangerous places.
Now the "inner price" in his mind has begun to increase. It seems that the imperial envoy has a big appetite, and the money he originally prepared may not be enough to feed him.
Tungsten raw materials are valuable goods, the price is ten times that of copper, and are stored in special small warehouses.
However, after Mu Longer went in to take a look, he found that the amount of raw material tungsten was not very large. However, the amount of tungsten itself was not as much as that of copper. Copper is mainly used to make bullets and cannonballs, and tungsten is not only used as an additive metal for weapon parts.
In the ammunition factory, it is used to produce tungsten core armor-piercing projectiles. Armor-piercing projectiles for warships, tank guns, anti-tank guns, and anti-tank guns.
There are boxes of tungsten bars and bags of tungsten powder on the shelf. When you open them, you will see that they are different from the copper just now. These raw tungsten materials are all shiny.
But this is the characteristic of tungsten itself. Just like gold, no matter how long you leave it, it will still be so bright.
But Mu Long'e found that the box and pockets were covered with dust, as if they had not been opened for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Longer inspected the place where cast iron raw materials and steel raw materials are stored. Different from before, there are a lot of steel and cast iron here, and there is no dust on the raw materials. It seems that they are usually used in large quantities.
"Master Niu," Mu Long'e asked with a smile, "What are these steel materials used to produce?"
"Ah, my lord," Niu Zhongqing said with a smile, "mainly produces machine gun bullet belts, various sizes of bullet magazines, bullet boxes, and rifle bullet clips. Haha..."
"Oh, I see...then what do these cast irons produce?"
Niu Zhongqing's face turned pale, and the sweat on his back continued to seep out. These steel and iron raw materials were all cut into the same shape, and they were all gray, but he did not expect that the imperial envoy would simply glance at them.
You can tell it.
"Sir... Sir, hehe, Your Excellency Mingjian, these cast irons... are used to... produce that... grenade casings, and... yes, they are used to produce mortar chassis. Hehehe..."
Mu Long smiled coldly:
"Master Niu, the steel raw materials you have here are dozens of times more than the copper raw materials. I would like to ask: Does your factory produce more bullets and cannon shell materials every day, or does it produce bullet chains, magazines, and magazine clips?
And how much material does the grenade casing use? Huh?"
Niu Zhongqing was stunned, speechless, and his face was ashen.
It seems that this imperial envoy has no mercy at all and plans to kill himself.
…
It was already very late when Mu Long'e took a nap, and after checking a few warehouses, it got dark almost immediately. This saved Niu Zhongqing's life. Niu Zhongqing immediately said that it was getting late, and the imperial envoy had been busy all afternoon.
, Xiang must have been hungry, so the official arranged several special dishes and invited the imperial envoy to taste them...
Mulong'e and his party had just eaten roasted camel at noon and were not hungry at all, but at this time they were very generous. As soon as they put away the iron noodles and laughed again, a group of people got on the bus and went to the "officers' mess".
went.
The meal in the evening was very different from that at noon. The imperial envoy and his party were led into an elegant Japanese-style room. On the tatami, a young Japanese girl caressed the Japanese koto, and the best sandalwood was burning in the incense burner.
It is very different from the roasted camel feast at noon.
The well-informed Mu Long smiled slightly and immediately guessed what "special side dishes" Niu Zhongqing had prepared.
Sure enough, after entering another small room, nine naked girls were lying on the tatami, with various light Japanese side dishes carefully placed on their white jade skin.
Haha, isn't it just "the female body is in full bloom"?
Some of the accompanying officials below Mu Long's forehead showed astonishment, but in general, these officials from the capital were still calm and composed, looking at the situation with a smile.
Niu Zhongqing was greatly disappointed. He had expected to be able to conquer the imperial envoy with this "special side dish". He did not expect that in Baoding, a remote and remote country, even he, the director of an arms factory, could enjoy this thing.
Why can't the military minister in the capital enjoy this?
But obviously, the imperial envoy was very satisfied with his careful arrangement. They ate often, but they did not delay the enjoyment of this time at all.
During the banquet, a group of officials showed their true colors and joked unscrupulously. While eating the food, they deliberately used chopsticks to tease the girl's sensitive parts. They took pleasure in admiring the girl's blushing face and clenched teeth. They also laughed and said that Baoding women's bodies are rich.
"Female body" is not as professional as those in Beijing.
Of course, I was tired of the roasted camel at noon, so the meal in the evening was not about eating. Niu Zhongqing arranged this very thoughtfully.
…
At the end of the feast, the fragrant soup bath was completed, and the imperial envoy and accompanying officials were arranged to go back to their rooms to rest.
Niu Zhongqing arranged for two girls to serve in each adult's room.
"Master Mu..." He smiled flatteringly and whispered winkingly, "You can just enjoy it with confidence, absolutely clean, absolutely virgin... Hehehehe, the two younger ones, one is a high school student and the other is
Junior high school students... the older ones are not easy to find... There is no university in Baoding, so I sent someone to Tianjin to find one from Tianjin Women's Normal University... I don't know if it suits your taste..."
Mu Long'er squinted his eyes and smiled, patted his shoulder and went in.
He was also familiar with this trick. The most beautiful female students in universities and middle schools throughout the Qing Dynasty usually had two endings: one was to be selected by officials at all levels and adopted as concubines. This one
This kind of education is generally accepted by female students. There are also many beautiful girls who spend money to go to school in the hope of becoming official wives.
The second type is to be used as a "gift" for officials to entertain Shangguan. The future of this type is far less good than the first type. If the Shangguan is taken aback and taken back to be an official's wife, that is naturally the best. But those
When officials go to inspect local areas, they only want to bring money back. How many of them are willing to bring women back? After most of the girls are "fortunate" by Shangguan, they cannot become Shangguan's wives, and it is very difficult for them to get married seriously.
However, officials from all over the country know that Shangguan is the one who is the best. They usually "register" attractive girls from each school. Once Shangguan comes to patrol, they will "pass" people directly according to the list. If the girl is willing, she will get some money. If not, she will get some money.
If so, their family members will usually find excuses to arrest them and label them as "having illicit affairs with the Ming Dynasty." Therefore, once they are "selected", unless they run away with the whole family at the risk of beheading, they have no choice but to accept the money and obey.
…
However, after the imperial envoy Mu Long'e entered the room, he did not look at the three beautiful female students at all. Instead, he drove them to the next room and at the same time, he called in his two most capable accountants.
The three people sat down at the table, spread out the paper, and began to calculate the accounts.
"This arsenal must be investigated to the ground," Mu Long said, smoking a cigarette and pacing, "investigate them all!...I don't believe it. With so much money, why should these gangs be allowed to do it?"
This guy is greedy for ink!"
The two accountants listed on the paper the quantity of raw materials in stock, the quantity of ammunition in stock, and the price of the concentrated raw materials.
