Building a new yamen, which has never happened in the Tang Dynasty, if others would have been at a loss, fortunately, Moton had the experience of building Mojia Village, and came out of the Ministry of Officials with the documents and went straight to the Ministry of Civil Affairs on the side.

The soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, this is very applicable in any place, and it is impossible to build a yamen without a large amount of money.

"Money?" Dai Xuan looked at the seven-grade official uniform of Morton in front of him with a surprised face, a seven-grade official blocked the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu to ask for money, I am afraid that there is no one before or since.

"Not bad!" Merton said confidently: "This official was ordered to set up a firearms superintendent, and now he is in ruins, so he naturally needs money and food. ”

I think that he was chased by Dai Xuan to collect taxes in the Mo Mansion back then, but now Feng Shui takes turns, and it is his turn to block Dai Xuan to ask for money, such a change makes Mo Dun's heart feel dark.

"You Mo Dun is a well-known god of wealth in Chang'an City, and Mojia Village has a lot of money, so he even ran to the old man to ask for money." Dai Xuan waved his hand to send Merton away.

Mo Dun was suddenly dissatisfied: "Who said that Mojia Village is rich, have you ever seen a rich man with a debt of 40,000 yuan?" Besides, this is a public weapon, how can it be paid for privately. ”

Dai Xuan was stunned and looked at Mo Dun crying poorly, if ordinary people owe so much money, then they are naturally poor, and for Mojia Village, tens of thousands of yuan are nothing at all? However, there is some truth in what Merton said, the firearms supervisor is the imperial court yamen, and it is indeed inappropriate to use private money to build a firearms supervisor.

"Now that the imperial court is about to go on an expedition, the money of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is tight, and I can't get much money, but since you Moton came in person, the old man will naturally give you face, come to someone, and give Mohou a thousand yuan of money and grain." Dai Xuan commanded to a head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"A thousand kan, you send it to Hanako!" Merton suddenly shouted in dissatisfaction. The group rebuilt a yamen, and it was estimated that it was not enough to even plug the gaps between the teeth.

Dai Xuan suddenly asked for a while, "Then what do you mean, how much do you need?" ”

Morton raised a finger and said word by word: "Ten thousand." ”

Dai Xuan's face suddenly changed and said: "It's impossible to have 10,000 yuan, even if you scrape the ground in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can't find so much money." ”

Merton smiled slightly, "Really? ”

At this time, an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs came in in surprise and reported: "Lord Qiqi Shangshu, the Layue tax in Mojia Village has been paid, and it is a full 10,000 and 30 yuan. ”

During the New Year, the goods in Mojia Village sold well, and the taxes paid exceeded 10,000 yuan.

Dai Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, and then saw Mo Dun's smiling face, and immediately cried and laughed, it turned out that Mo Jiazi's calculation was here.

"Two thousand, it can't be more, this tax has been planned in advance." Dai Xuan was like a miser who broke his fortune, and endured the pain in his flesh.

"Eight thousand guan, the firearms supervision tile has not been built, and we have to recruit craftsmen and buy raw materials, and eight thousand guan is just the first batch of money?" Merton argued.

"The firearms supervisor can build the house site and recruit craftsmen, all of which can be completed by the Ministry of Works, which is enough for you to save a lot of money, and three thousand yuan can't be more." In order to save money, Dai Xuan directly sold the Ministry of Industry.

Merton's eyes lit up, and he recruited craftsmen directly from the Ministry of Works, not to mention technically, and naturally there was a guarantee of loyalty.

"Five thousand!" As if it were a tug-of-war, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

"Little slippery!"

"Old fox!"

The two glanced at each other, and each said in his heart.

In fact, they all knew in their hearts that 5,000 yuan was nothing to Merton, and Merton could grind hard and hard in the civil department for 5,000 yuan here, so why not abide by the rules of the court?

Merton took the money, proudly came out of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and went straight to the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry did not embarrass Merton, and a four-grade Ministry of Industry waiter personally received the seven-grade Merton, which can be said to have given Morton enough face.

After Merton took out the documents of the Ministry of Works, the waiter of the Ministry of Works readily agreed to Merton's request, provided fifty skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, and handed over Yu Wenbo, who received Merton last time, to Merton in person until the firearms supervisor was completed.

"Please also ask Mohou to give more orders!" Yu Wenbo said excitedly. Last time, Merton unreservedly taught him the principles of heating, which benefited him a lot, and he didn't expect to work with Merton so soon.

"You and I are at the same level, don't be so polite!" In terms of grade, Merton and Yuwenbo are both seventh-grade, and their official positions are equal.

Yu Wenbo smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Mo said that he laughed, the seven products under the Ministry of Industry are sparse and ordinary, and Lord Mo is in charge of a prison, how can it be compared, if there is an order, I will try my best to complete it." ”

Merton nodded and said: "You first go to the Chengnan Ink Technology Exhibition, mobilize a batch of steel cable cranes from Mojia Village, go to the back mountain of Xuandu Guan, and when the materials are complete, start construction immediately, and strive to complete it in the shortest possible time." ”

Morton is not a pedantic person, if the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are allowed to build it, I am afraid that when the battle of Tuyuhun starts, whether it can be built is still two different things, but if there is advanced equipment in Mojia Village, the speed of building a firearms prison will definitely be greatly accelerated.

"Xuandu Guanhou Mountain!" Yu Wenbo's face changed and said, "Mohou wants to build the firearms supervisor there." ”

Regarding the explosion in the mountain behind the Xuandu Guan, the entire Chang'an City was boiling, Yuwenbo naturally knew it, and Merton chose the address of the firearms prison here, which can't help but make people think deeply.

Merton nodded, not explaining.

The firearms supervisor needs to be secretive, safe, and the place is open, and in the entire Chang'an City, I am afraid that there is no more suitable Xuandu Guanhou Mountain.

Walking out of the Ministry of Works, Merton handed over the task of building a firearms supervisor to Yu Wenbo with full responsibility, and only then did he walk out of the imperial city.

"Young Master!"

Tie An greeted him.

Merton nodded, got into the carriage, closed his eyes and thought about today's gains and losses, now the firearms supervisor craftsmen, the money is in place, it only takes time to naturally build, but if you want to make gunpowder, and it is naturally impossible to leave the raw materials, the reason why Merton asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs for so much money, most of the cost is spent on materials.

There are only three kinds of gunpowder formulas, saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, and if the firearms supervisor buys these three on a large scale, I am afraid that even ordinary people can crack the gunpowder formula, and when the time comes, the gunpowder formula will leak, and Merton will not escape the blame.

"The charcoal is bought by Mojia Village!" Mo Dun said in his heart, Mojia Village has been making steel all year round, and the charcoal used is countless, and some of it is not conspicuous at all.

"The palace needs to use a large amount of saltpeter to make ice in summer, and saltpeter can also be bought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as for sulfur, the firearms supervisor is right behind the Xuandu Temple, and it is best to buy it in the name of the Xuandu Temple."

"Then buy some other items for the research of the Waidan Sect, and you can also muddy the audio-visual, so it's perfect."

After Merton finished planning, he breathed a sigh of relief, and now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the firearms supervisor can be completed.
