Yang Guang peeked at my diary and lay down like an emperor through the ages

Chapter 118 Yang Wu Goes to the Ministry of Industry to Poach Corners

The next day, the Ministry of Industry Shangshufu.

Early in the morning, Yang Wu came.

After the servant informed, Yu Wenkai came to greet him in person.

"I didn't know little friend Yang Wu was coming, so please forgive me for being late."

Yu Wenkai said politely.

Whether it is the main officials of the three provinces or the ministers of the six departments, they will call Yang Wu "Xiaoyou" when they see Yang Wu.

The main reason is that Yang Wu is too young, and although his official position is not too high, his status is not trivial.

"It's too serious, Lord Yuwen."

Yang Wu smiled lightly, being polite to the other party.

After all, there is no injustice, and even though Yu Wenkai's surname is Yuwen, he has nothing to do with Yuwen's family.

The second is that this person is quite loyal to Sui.

"I don't know what the little friend is here for?"

After Yu Wenkai welcomed Yang Wu in, he asked curiously.

He and Yang Wu didn't communicate much, so how could he not be curious when the other party came to the door suddenly.

"The project of the Grand Canal should be stable, right?"

Yang Wu didn't hurry to get straight to the point, but asked a question instead.

"It is basically stable now, but it will take a while to complete."

Yu Wenkai replied.

Since Yang Wu was not in a hurry to speak, he naturally didn't want to ask more questions.

"I heard that the people in the Ministry of Industry are crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and many of them are skilled craftsmen, but is it true?"

Yang Wu asked curiously.

"Little friend Yang Wu is serious. Compared with your ability, it is not worth mentioning."

Yu Wenkai replied.

"I don't know Mr. Yuwen, can you take me to visit the Ministry of Industry?"

Yang Wu asked.

"Naturally?"

Yu Wenkai hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

"This General Yang Wu is so free, he doesn't go to guard Ziwei City, but he wants to visit the Ministry of Industry?"

He secretly thought.

Even though he thought so, Yu Wenkai agreed to Yang Wu after all, so he could only pack up and take Yang Wu to the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry, in addition to being responsible for some projects, is also responsible for the management and manufacture of weapons.

Moreover, the private manufacture of weapons by the people violated the laws of the Sui Dynasty.

Of course, the situation where an individual wears a weapon is a special case.

As long as it is not mass-produced, there is basically no problem.

After all, there is only one way to manufacture weapons in large quantities, and that is to prepare for rebellion.

"Little friend Yang Wu, in fact, the Ministry of Industry has nothing to look at."

After walking around the Ministry of Industry, Yu Wenkai said.

It's really nothing to see, just some officials from the Ministry of Industry walking back and forth with files.

Handle government affairs in various places, or be responsible for issuing orders for certain projects, etc.

And most of them are dealing with trivial matters of the Grand Canal project.

"Master Yuwen, the Ministry of Industry is not only about these things, is it?"

Yang Wu narrowed his eyes and said.

"Young friend Yang Wu, some special places cannot be visited."

Yu Wenkai said with some embarrassment.

"Don't worry, His Majesty asked me to come."

Yang Wu laughed.

"is it?"

Yu Wenkai looked at Yang Wu suspiciously.

However, no one dared to make fun of Yang Guang's oral instructions, so he agreed without asking Yang Wu to produce evidence.

Immediately, he took Yang Wu to see the armory.

Obsolete weapons, materials for making weapons, and armor and other items.

Basically, they are all piled up in these places.

Moreover, this place is only in Luoyang.

"What are these weapons?"

Yang Wu found that there were many weapons and armor piled up randomly, and they were all rusty.

"They are all unusable weapons, and weapons eliminated by the army."

Yu Wenkai explained.

"Ah."

Yang Wu nodded and took a second look.

After that, there are some other manufacturing locations.

"Master Yuwen, go directly to the place where weapons are smelted and forged."

Yang Wu suggested.

"it is good."

Yu Wenkai nodded.

Soon, the two came to a place where weapons were specially made.

The temperature here has risen a lot, and beads of sweat ooze from Yu Wenkai's forehead.

I saw many craftsmen working on iron.

There are also special people who are directing.

"With so many blacksmiths, are there any outstanding ones?"

Yang Wu asked curiously.

"Of course there are. For example, the conductor Wang Heng is one of them, as is Zuo Liu on the other side."

Yu Wenkai introduced.

"Is it really that powerful?"

Yang Wu didn't seem to believe it.

"Little friend Yang Wu, the weapons they made with their own hands are sharper and more resilient."

Yu Wenkai quickly explained.

These top craftsmen can be said to be the pride of their Ministry of Industry weapons.

"is it?"

Yang Wu looked at Wang Heng and the others suspiciously.

"Little friend, wait a moment."

Yu Wenkai was in a hurry.

He left Yang Wu, turned around and left, and came back in time for a cup of tea.

"Little friend, look, these are all weapons made by them!"

Yu Wenkai held a sword in one hand and a knife in the other.

Yang Wu took the weapon from his hand and looked at it carefully.

As Yu Wenkai said, weapons are sharper than ordinary weapons.

The sharp blade even shone with a cold light.

"It's really good."

Yang Wu nodded.

"It's not just the two of them, the others are also quite remarkable."

Seeing that Yang Wu also agreed, Yu Wenshu became interested.

He continued and introduced several blacksmiths to Yang Wu.

While watching, Yang Wu muttered something.

But Yu Wenkai was eager to show off the talents of the Ministry of Industry, so he didn't listen carefully at all.

If he listened carefully, he could find that Yang Wu seemed to be counting.

Whenever Yu Wenkai introduced a skilled craftsman, he would count one.

"Where is the carpenter, is there anyone who can do it?"

Yang Wu interrupted Yu Wenkai to ask.

"Of course there are. I heard that several people have also learned the Luban technique, but some of them are superficial."

Yu Wenkai was even more excited.

After all, there are very few people who pay attention to their Ministry of Industry.

"is it?"

Yang Wu's eyes also lit up.

The Luban technique here is not calligraphy, but the experience and skills of carpenters.

Just a few furs are enough.

"Let's go, little friend Yang Wu, I'll take you to have a look!"

Yu Wenkai said excitedly.

And the relationship between the two has also become closer.

"it is good."

Yang Wu nodded and followed Yu Wenkai to find the top carpenter.

In another place, Yu Wenkai was very excited to introduce these top carpenters to Yang Wu as before.

Yang Wu said a few words of appreciation from time to time, which would make Yu Wenkai more excited and interested.

Guessing that it was getting late, Yu Wenkai reluctantly stopped.

However, Yang Wu already knew how many talents the Ministry of Industry had, and also understood the Ministry of Industry's style of work.

"Little friend, how about enjoying dinner at home?"

Yu Wenkai is in a good mood.

"it is good."

Yang Wu complied.

"But little friend, don't you need to go to Ziwei City?"

Yu Wenkai hesitated for a moment.

"No, I've already arranged the manpower."

Yang Wu replied.

"In that case, please!"

Yu Wenkai laughed from ear to ear.

After returning to the mansion, Yu Wenkai even ordered his servants to prepare wine and food.

Estimated the effort of a stick of incense, the table is full of delicacies.

"Meeting little friend Yang Wu today is like meeting a bosom friend. It makes me feel good!"

Yu Wenshu smiled and took out a bottle of good wine.

Yang Wu just smiled at this.

"Fast food!"

Yu Wenkai personally poured wine for Yang Wu and greeted him.

When Yang Wu moved his chopsticks, he followed suit.

The two drank one cup after another, and at the same time talked about some things that the Ministry of Industry would do.

It was a pleasure to see Yu Wenkai's face constantly smiling.

"It's rare to see the master so happy."

"Yes, and it's rare to have a big person as a guest."

The servants of the mansion were discussing in low voices.

It is reckoned that Yu Wenkai was already a little drunk after drinking for three rounds.

"Little friend Yang Wu, why do you think of visiting the Ministry of Industry?"

Yu Wenkai asked curiously.

"Cough cough."

Hearing this, Yang Wu coughed twice, put down his chopsticks, and touched his nose again.

"This Yu Wenkai is pretty good to me, it's a bit hard to say anything."

He thought about it.

Yu Wenkai probably didn't expect that he would lure a wolf into the house today.

"Little friend Yang Wu, you and I are bosom friends, so you may as well speak up if you have anything to say!"

Yu Wenkai patted his chest and said boldly.

"It's like this. Your Majesty issued an edict to come to the Ministry of Industry to select some good players to work for me."

Yang Wu still spoke out.

"what?"

Yu Wenkai was taken aback for a moment, and said hello with a full face.

Yang Wu then took out the edict and handed it to Yu Wenkai.

After Yu Wenkai took it, he glanced at it and put the edict aside.

"So that's the case, then little friend Yang Wu choose with confidence."

Yu Wenkai hadn't reacted yet.

"Thank you Lord Yuwen, I want these."

Yang Wu took out a list and handed it to Yu Wenkai.

"Good to say."

Yu Wenkai took it with a smile.

But after he took a few glances, his smiling face suddenly froze, and most of his drunkenness disappeared.

"Little friend Yang Wu, are you kidding me?"

Yu Wenkai was in a hurry.

How can there be no rush, the list is all the masters he introduced just now with gusto.

Yang Wu was about to take him away in a blink of an eye, how could he be willing?

"No wonder!"

Only then did Yu Wenkai react.

No wonder Yang Wu didn't explain his purpose at the beginning, but asked him to take him to visit the Ministry of Industry.

It turned out that he wanted to find out who the Ministry of Industry had.

If Yang Wu had expressed his intention at the beginning, it would be impossible for Yu Wenkai to hand over all those talents to Yang Wu.

"Young friend Yang Wu, are you plotting against me?"

Yu Wenkai felt extremely distressed.

"My lord Yuwen, they are all doing things for His Majesty, and I don't want all of them."

Yang Wu comforted him.

"Yeah, not all of them, but the top players have been selected by you."

Yu Wenkai wants to cry but has no tears.

"Master Yuwen, how about this, you hand over these masters to me, and I will definitely give you a surprise in the future!"

Yang Wu said in a deep voice.

"What a surprise, these people are not going back to the Ministry of Industry, or did the Minister of the Ministry of Industry ask you to do it?"

Yu Wenkai didn't believe it at all.

"Master Yuwen, it is true that what I have done this time is not kind, but what I said just now is true."

Yang Wu looked serious.

"Forget it, since it's an imperial edict, how can I refuse it?"

Yu Wenkai replied.

Now that things have happened, he can only admit that he was wronged, and if he wants to blame, he can blame himself for being careless.

But who would have thought that Yang Wu would come to the Ministry of Industry to poach people?
"Thank you General Yuwen."

Yang Wu smiled and cupped his hands.

The atmosphere that followed was not as happy as before.

"Strange, why is the master crying?"

After Yang Wu left, the servants of the mansion saw Yu Wenkai beating his chest.

"It should be, are you so happy?"

Another servant replied.
