Beiyang new warlord

"Master, please spare me! You guys are really not assassins! The younger ones are all duty-bearers. Thanks to the lord's mercy, you have settled down in Haoshuang. How can you be an assassin?"

"Fart, hiding gunpowder, ambushing the general by the side of the road, almost hurting the general! Sir, we don't need to talk to them, let Luo Zhige come, and we can kill him tomorrow!"

Almost hurt his big boss, not only did Mao Leng's face become dull, but his back was drenched with fear. He didn't listen to the explanation at all, and roared murderously. Jue, however, stood up with the support of his own soldiers, waved to him to let him step aside first, and walked up by himself.

"Tell me! What's going on?"

After all, I have experienced everything from swords to swords on the battlefield, and this matter slowly came to an end. Seeing a master and three apprentices in the Journey to the West combination, Mao Jue believed that they were not assassins. After all, they buried the explosives in the pot and collapsed. Getting up to blow people up with a pot cover, this assassination method is too stupid, God knows where the pot cover will jump, what if it jumps into the reasonable river?

Looking at Mao Jue, his face was also unkind. During the questioning, the bald master slapped his fat and stunned second apprentice sadly on the back of the head.

"It's all this lazy bastard!"

In a typical Dongjiang blacksmith shop, a roller connected to a waterwheel stretches into the river to provide power for the hammer. Next to it is a furnace for melting iron ore and making iron and steel. The furnace cover has disappeared, and the roof has been smashed There was a big hole, but there was no smell of gunpowder in the room. Instead, it was like a sauna, full of white steam.

In addition, a pair of mahjong is thrown on the other table, or a relative of mahjong, which is called Ma Diao Ye Ye Pai these days.

"General, that's it. This iron stove was shipped from the Dongjiang River and had a lot of rust. The old man asked this shoddy product to remove the rust. As a result, he was fine. He poured water and white vinegar into the pot, lit the fire, and ran away. exploded"

"Master, you clearly said that three are missing and one is missing!"

"It's against you, dare to talk back to the master?"

The quartet of Buddhist scriptures chattered again, but Mao Jue's attention was no longer on them. He was focused on the big stove, looking at the guy who was still blooming and emitting white smoke, Mao Jue felt I seemed to grasp something in my mind, but I couldn't think of it for a while.

Annoyed, he turned around twice with his hands behind his back, and simply turned his head and waved at Mao Li.

"Let them go! They are not assassins!"

"General!"

"Thank you, Master General!"

Mao Li was a little unwilling, but the trio immediately kowtowed excitedly. Who knows, before Mao Jue finished speaking, he followed up.

"However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot escape! You are violating the safety production regulations, and you almost hurt passers-by. The crime is added to the crime. According to the regulations of Hongshuang City, you must go to the yamen to pay the fine tomorrow, ten taels of silver!"

In a word, the trio almost burst into tears again, because the amount of silver imported into Ming Dynasty from the American continent decreased, and the silver is now valuable. Converted into later generations' RMB, they lost more than 2 yuan in just one stroke.

"What? Don't want to?"

"Yes, yes! Thank you, General, for your life!"

Mao Li scolded with a tiger's face, and the quartet who listened to the scriptures hurriedly twitched their old faces and kowtowed again and again.

It's better to lose money than lose your head, right?

After such an accident, on the way back, a group of guards became cautious, as if they were opening umbrellas for the leader, but the steel shields that were put together were directly on the left and right sides of Mao Jue. Fortunately, nothing was encountered along the way The weird thing fell off and arrived at Luo's firm without any problems.

In order to get this purple gold hairpin, Mao Jue ran to the Luo family firm countless times. In addition, he had lived in the Luo family in Hangzhou for more than a month before, and he was very familiar with the work of the shopkeepers of the Luo family. Seeing him coming, The work that had been dozing off on the counter jumped up excitedly, and shouted into it excitedly.

"General Mao is here!"

One of the important commodities that China produces from Southeast Asia to foreign countries is gold and silver handicrafts. Even those Western gentlemen are amazed by the skills of Chinese skilled craftsmen. It was Mao Jue, a big customer, who came, and more than 30 people in the whole store came to help, and Mao Jue's personal soldiers were also busy walking around.

It is not easy to get the gold out of the stones. The big stones weighing twenty to thirty kilograms are hammered into pieces in water first, and the gold-free ones are directly discarded by the master, and the rest are taken The stone is crushed under the roller, and finally shaken in the water with a sieve like a sieve of gold sand, shaking the light impurities on it. After a series of actions are completed, only a few kilograms of the more than 100 kilograms of rough stone are left.

It can already be clearly seen that the remaining powder is shining with golden light. While wrapping the gold powder with rice and carbonizing it, the old master nodded in admiration.

"What a bonanza! I have been purchasing gold mines for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have seen such a rich ore. General, you have found a treasure!"

"General?"

"what?"

Obviously absent-minded, Mao Jue came to his senses and shook his head in a daze: "Sorry, I was going to be distracted!"

"Master Li, some idiots burned the boiler and blew up the lid when we came here, almost hurting my general!"

Still brooding about it now, Mao Li was measuring the boiler with one hand, and making a few noises with the other. The old goldsmith's face changed when he heard it, and he asked with concern.

"Is the general all right?"

"My family's general is blessed by the God of Changbai Mountain. He raises a statue of a thousand catties with his hand. How can anything happen!"

"General, you say no!"

As a subordinate, you have to be like Mao Yang, who maintains the majesty of the leader at any time, but when Mao Yan turned his head, he found that Mao Jue's eyes were straightened, and he was staring at him with a strange look, which made him feel The hair on the back is straight.

In the past few days, Mao Jue has nothing to do, so he hangs out with those Fujian merchants who moved from Fujian to discuss cooperation. I heard that Hu Jian is very masculine, so his own family will not be infected!Alas, I blame my parents for being so handsome and chic.Touching his Northeast pig's kidney face, Mao Li thought sadly.

"You, make two more gestures!"

"Ah? General"

"Stop talking nonsense, just do what you did just now, and continue making gestures!"

It was even more sad, trying to recall, the captain of the personal army struggled to draw too fast.

"That's right, this end is a boiler, and the other end exploded with a bang"

In the eyes of everyone in the room caring about the neuropathy, Mao Jue finally slapped his head violently.

"Yes, how did I forget this thing!"

"Well, Master Li, do you have blacksmiths in your shop? Call me all of them! Mao Li, don't be idle, go to the yamen and ask Luo Zhige to give me all the best iron and steel smiths in Hongshuang City Call here!"

Suddenly, like a monkey, he watched Mao Jue jumping up and down happily, and Mao Yan's eyes went straight, he stuttered, and the captain of the guards threw a fist.

"General, Lord General, are you bewitched by an evil spirit? Why don't you go and find Mr. Song to exorcise the evil spirit?"

"You're the one who's bewitched!"

Angrily, he kicked his buttocks, and immediately Mao Jue yelled with great excitement.

"Go to me quickly, I think of something, which is related to our Dongjiang future!"

So serious! No one wants to rebel, right?What can you do with a blacksmith?Puzzled, Mao Li didn't dare to disobey the order, turned around and went out.

Turning around, taking the Luo family as his own, Mao Jue shouted domineeringly at the foolish looking Luo again.

"Prepare a smelting room for the general, coal, high-quality refined iron, go and get it!"

"Little, little one obeys!"
