Chapter 107: Trouble in the Ministry of War

At the gate of the military department, everyone looked at Fang Xing with pity, thinking that this guy would definitely be arrested, and then he would use the same method to deal with the enemy's spies.

Two menacing doormen came up holding their knives, Fang Xing regretted not bringing a servant. He glanced left and right, and suddenly shouted: "Is there any justice? Are the gentlemen of the Ministry of War condoning corruption, or are they planning to kill people to silence them!"

A middle-aged man in official uniform happened to send someone to the gate. After seeing this scene, he frowned and said, "What's the noise? This is the Yamen of the Ministry of War, not the street!"

The figures of the two disciples were suffocated, and then turned back with a sad face and said: "Master, this man is a lunatic, making a fuss at the gate early in the morning!"

"My official Shi Kui, who are you? Leave now!"

The middle-aged man shouted, and then he was about to go back.

This person is not bad! Fang Xing hurriedly shouted: "I'm Fang Xing, and I'm here for the Emperor Taisun Youjun's affairs, who of you is in charge?"

Shi Kui looked at Fang Xing, and when he saw his clear eyes, he crossed his arms and asked, "Is it the Thousand Households House in Jubao Mountain?"

"Yes, that's it."

Fang Xing asked aggressively: "I want to ask, where is my musket?"

Seeing that there were many people outside, Shi Kui beckoned, "Come in."

"Just go in, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your mouth shut!"

Shi Kui, who was walking in front, suffocated, and the veins on his forehead twitched.

Arriving at a room full of documents, Shi Kui beckoned Fang Xing to sit down, then picked up a document and read it.

Is there now that famous study time?

Fang Xing, who felt that time and space were reversed, glanced at it, and felt that this place was not as luxurious as a village office, so he softened his tone and said, "Master, it has been almost half a month since my department received His Majesty's order. , but those brothers are still holding swords and spears, your Ministry of War must give me an explanation!"

Shi Kui said casually: "It's not easy to build a musket, it will take at least a month."

"One month? But at that time your people said it would take half a year!"

Fang Xing almost jumped three feet high, and he didn't care about the servants and respecting the old and loving the young, and said directly: "You guys are lazy, you are playing with Daming's safety!"

Shi Kui looked at Fang Xing calmly, and said calmly, "Da Ming's safety cannot be determined by a thousand households. If you want to be capable, can you build it yourself?"

"good!"

Fang Xing sat down immediately, and said solemnly: "Thank you for your support, sir. I only need one hundred craftsmen, including 70% blacksmiths and 30% carpenters. Then you have to give me the iron materials and construction funds, and the rest I promise not to trouble your Ministry of War!"

Shi Kui was stalked for a while, he put down the materials, and sighed: "Fang Xing, you are so messed up with me, you are not afraid of teaching His Highness the grandson."

Fang Xing could no longer see the yelling at the gate just now, he sat upright and said: "Master, we Ming people don't talk dark words, someone in your military department is tripping me up, otherwise the musketeer will be less There must have been hundreds of them sent over.”

Fight with me, who is afraid of whom!

Shi Kui was caught by Fang Xing's words just now, that's why he slipped out and asked Fang Xing to create it himself. As soon as he said that, he regretted it, for fear that those generals would come to him in the future and demand the same treatment.

Fang Xing saw that Shi Kui wanted to go back on his word, so he warned: "Master, Your Majesty is very concerned about this Thousand Households Office!"

Well, this was indeed the final straw.

Shi Kui's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he also warned: "But if the musket is lost, our Ministry of War will not take the blame!"

Fang Xing saw that the matter was done, so he said relaxedly: "Every musket will be numbered when it comes out, and it will be sent out during training, and all will be taken back after training.

It cannot be lost! "

Shi Kui pointed Fang Xing with his fingers, and chased people away: "In this case, tomorrow I will ask someone to deliver the iron materials and craftsmen. From then on, it will be Fang Xing's responsibility. If you have an accident, don't come to the Ministry of War."

Fang Xing couldn't wait for this, and he was worried that someone from the military department would tell him what to do.

As soon as Fang Xing left, Shi Kui called his subordinates.

"Why didn't the firearms requested by the thousand households in Jubao Mountain not arrive? Who did it?"

The three people who were responsible for this matter all bowed their heads and said nothing at this time, but the faces of the two on the right were slightly tilted to the left, and Shi Kui understood it all at once.

"Xia Qun, do you have something to say? Yes!"

Just now Shi Kui said it would take a month, but that was just a temporary perfunctory for Fang Xing. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, I don't know how many things are sent out from his hands every year. Of course he was well aware of the supply of muskets, so he came to look for the instigator at this time.

The man on the left trembled, raised his head and said, "My lord, I have been feeling unwell recently. These things are taken over by the people below. I will check when I get back."

Shi Kui looked at Xia Qun quietly, and sighed after a long time: "I don't care who you are, but you have to have a beginning and an end in everything you do. Next time this kind of thing happens, you can handle it yourself!"

Your Majesty! Can't you let the two princes settle down a bit?

Fang Xing, who returned to the barracks, saw with satisfaction that the sergeants who had finished their training were listening to Xin Laoqi's lecture, and then called Dong Pi.

"Mr. Fang, you didn't go to the Ministry of War?"

Seeing that Fang Xing came back so quickly and was well dressed, Dong Pi asked in disappointment.

The people in the Ministry of War are not as tactful as the Ministry of Rites, and it is not uncommon for people to fight if they disagree with each other. But Fang Xing went to ask for muskets. According to Dong Pi's guess, there was probably a conflict.

But it doesn't look like he's fighting with someone!

Is this Mr. Fang still a hidden master?

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Go, the people in the military department are very enthusiastic, and promised to send the iron materials and craftsmen to us tomorrow."

"We build it ourselves?"

Dong Pi has never heard of such a good thing. It must be known that since the reign of Emperor Hongwu, the management of the army has been relatively strict, so the army is not allowed to make their own weapons.

Fang Xing didn't have time to explain to him, so he hurriedly arranged: "In the afternoon, someone will build a craftsman's residence next to the warehouse, and the warehouse will also be expanded together, otherwise there will be no place to store things."

Dong Pi felt a little aggrieved, thinking that he was a thousand households anyway, but now he became a handyman.

However, thinking that this army had the name of being under the direct control of the emperor's grandson, Dong Pi felt his heart warm up again, so he hurriedly went to recruit people.

After the team disbanded, Xin Laoqi went to Fang Xinghui to report: "Master, these people have a good background, but they haven't been trained well before. What do you think is the next step?"

Fang Xing squinted at the sergeants who were captured by Dong Pi to build their residences and warehouses, and said calmly: "Cohort, this is the time to practice this, and we must make sure that we can change formations with a single command."

"besides."

Fang Xing added: "From now on, we will practice formation in the morning, and in the afternoon, we will use wooden sticks as muskets to strengthen their stability, so as to ensure the training after the muskets are in place."

"I have some interesting things here..."

Five servants were left here, and Fang Xing fled with the others.

In terms of management, there is Dong Pi and the general banner of the Hundred Households below, so Fang Xing doesn't have to do everything himself.
