Live as the emperor

Chapter 273

This is the first time for Chen Guang to come to the Military Weapons Supervision. This is a heavily guarded yard.

The weapons needed by the imperial capital are all produced here, and everything inside is of course a military secret.

Chen Guang followed Ah Fu to the Military Weapons Supervision.

Regardless of the dense row of guarding soldiers, this is actually not much different from an ordinary workshop, except that the wall is taller, the bricks used to build the wall are larger, and the carvings on the door are more detailed.

Other than that, there is nothing special about it, and even on the signboard, there are only three big characters of Military Weapons Supervision that can show the unique identity of this place.

"Stop, who is he?" Chen Guang had already changed into ordinary clothes, and since he had never been to the weapons inspection before, the soldier guarding the door naturally didn't recognize him.

Ah Fu quickly said: "He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The soldier looked at Ah Fu who was holding a big box in his hand, frowned, and said, "Who are you?"

Obviously, not only did the soldier not know Chen Guang, he didn't even know Ah Fu, who was working in the Military Weapons Supervision.

The Military Weapons Supervision is a huge institution. According to the book "Six Codes", "there are 850 craftsmen in the Shaofu, and 5000 will be the prisons. Those who do not use subtlety to make up for their clumsiness, avoid the important and take the light."This record is not the total number of craftsmen in the official handicraft industry. It neither includes the craftsmen used by the various divisions in Kyoto, nor the craftsmen in the Taoist workshops of the states. Just like this, there are more than 1 people. It can be seen that in this military weapon How many people will supervise this place that is crucial to national strength.Because of this, even though he was the most powerful person in the Military Weapons Supervision, Ah Fu failed to get acquainted with the soldiers guarding the gate.

Ah Fu was about to speak, but Chen Guang didn't have time to talk so much nonsense with a gatekeeper. He took out his gold medal and said, "Do you know him?"

This gold medal is exquisitely crafted, with lifelike dragons engraved on both sides, surrounding the two characters "Prince" in the center.

"Ah? I'm here to see His Highness the Crown Prince." There was no reason why he didn't understand this, so the soldier guarding the gate quickly knelt down and saluted.

Chen Guang didn't have the time to argue with them, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay."

Then he and A Fu went to the Military Weapons Supervision together.

Entering from this archway, there is a stone road. On both sides of the stone road, there are houses one after another, and there are clanging sounds from inside.Although the Qian Kingdom is peaceful now, it is still in the era of feudal separatism. Wars may start at any time, and the casting of weapons is a long and huge project. Therefore, under the current situation, the manufacture of weapons will not stop.

The houses here are different from ordinary houses in that they are circular and very large, each occupying at least one mu of land, and the roofs are conical and built with huge logs.It is very similar to the brick factory that Chen Guang saw before crossing.

It occupies a very wide area, extending all the way to the city wall. After Chen Guang followed Ah Fu through several huge domed factory buildings, he finally stopped in front of a factory building with an "arrow" sign hanging on it.

"This is where we usually work. Please come in, His Royal Highness," Ah Fu said.

The sound of knocking came from inside, tinkling, continuously.Ah Fu opened the curtain and got in, followed by Chen Guang.

It's very dark inside, because it occupies a large area, and the only lighting equipment is candles, but in this kind of place, it's not like in the palace or the prince's mansion, where dozens of candles are lit in every room, and it's far away from here. There is a brazier, which acts as a lighting device.When the wind blows from somewhere, the light in the brazier will shake, and the light in the room will change accordingly.Under such circumstances, the two people are more than ten feet apart, and basically they can't see their faces clearly.

In addition to the brazier, there are several boilers with blazing fires burning inside, which can provide some lighting, but that is of no help in such a large space.

"Ah Fu, you're here."

Ah Fu seems to be very popular here, and immediately after the two came in, someone greeted Ah Fu.

Everyone was curious about the young man beside Ah Fu, but no one asked.

Ah Fu replied: "Yes, here we come. This is His Royal Highness, we just came from the East Palace."

Hearing Ah Fu's words, everyone was taken aback immediately, and stopped their movements involuntarily.

This is His Royal Highness?So young.

Chen Guang was 13 years old when he traveled through time, and now he is 16 years old after more than two years. At the age of 16, he has grown a lot taller, because he has practiced Lingbo Weibu and Luoying swordsmanship, his body is very strong, but he does not look fat, he still looks like a young man, who is the legendary man who takes off his clothes and wears flesh The clothes look thin.Putting on this luxurious silk and satin dress, you have an extraordinary bearing.

But in the eyes of these old craftsmen, the 16-year-old Chen Guang is still very young, unbelievably young.

This was the first time they saw the prince.To extend it further, this is the first time they have seen relatives of the emperor.

Naturally, I feel very novel and frightened.

It's like you are a bricklayer, and a stranger comes next to you. Next to the stranger is your co-worker. Your co-worker introduces you to you, this is the master of Huzhong Nan/Hai.At this time, although you can't understand what kind of master he is, you can't help but be in awe.

A truth.When everyone saw Chen Guang, they were all in awe.

So there is a very important question. Since we are respectful, we should do something to show it.

Kneeling was not yet popular at that time, and in the entire 5000-year history of civilization, the only ones who would kneel when they saw anyone were the Qing Dynasty.

This caused everyone to forget how to face His Highness the Crown Prince for a while, and just stared blankly like that, as if they were at a loss when they saw a wolf in the husky house while visiting the zoo.

Fortunately, the great Prince Chen Guang didn't care about these details. He smiled and said, "I'm just here to take a look. You can do whatever you want."

When the prince spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, well, let's do what we should do.

Everyone was busy again, while Chen Guang looked at everything here curiously.

Chen Guang noticed that next to each stove, there was a skin bag almost one person tall, like an upside-down umbrella. The skin is closed again, and the fire on the stove next to it will suddenly become much brighter.The craftsman next to him seized this opportunity and threw the steel into the fire for calcination.

"What is this?" Chen Guang felt that this thing was a little familiar, not the object, but the function of this object made him feel very familiar.

Ah Fu said: "This is a thorn."
