Chapter 1143

Think about those tiles, toilets, etc., and underwear, not to mention them, any one is to make a lot of money and make a sluggish business.

Having said that, Zhao Ji, who is now focusing on studying and studying, has long regarded making money as an interest, because in recent years, the returns he has obtained with Wang Yang's early investment have been outrageous.

It took nearly an hour to go through the many workshops inside one by one. Then, the two of them went to the Military Fire Supervision Bureau, which was about five miles away, but was even more hidden.

The Firearm Bureau was built in a valley near the water. Its territory was not large, and there were not many craftsmen inside, which looked like one or two hundred people, but there were a thousand imperial guards guarding the place.

After all, the power of gunpowder weapons is too amazing. After the battle on Shaanxi Road, people also realized the importance of gunpowder weapons.

The workshop of the Gunpowder Bureau mainly focuses on producing gunpowder and making gunpowder weapons as a supplement. When Wang Yang heard that more than 50,000 kilograms of gunpowder had been accumulated in the underground of this large courtyard of hundreds of square meters, Wang Yang's face couldn't help but change.

If it weren't for the noble character of being a role model, and the pride that he could not embarrass others, he would finally maintain his face.

However, when a craftsman leader from the Gunpowder Bureau was excited to pick up a torch and take Wang Yang and Zhao Ji down to the ground kiln for a visit, Wang Yang firmly rejected this extremely dangerous proposal.

"No fire candle, no fire candle, you actually want to take us downstairs with this thing. If someone accidentally scatters gunpowder outside and is ignited by accident, let alone us, even the entire Gunpowder Bureau and the nearby one thousand imperial guards will ascend to heaven." Wang Yang snatched the torch with a dark face, and saliva Xingzi directly sprayed the craftsman leader with his face.

"Sir, don't worry, our ground kilns are all water kilns, so this will never happen." The garrison general next to him coughed dryly and said in awe at Wang Yang.

Wang Yang and Wang Wushan's reputation was regarded as an enemy in the eyes of those civil servants, but on the Song Dynasty's military, their favorableness and reputation are definitely at the level of worship.

Even the famous generals of the Song Dynasty in the past could be compared with Wang Yang and Wang Jingluo's merits. What's more, the battles in Shaanxi over the past few years have won consecutive battles, which greatly boosted the morale of the Song Dynasty, and made these soldiers regard Wang Yang as gods.

Today, I can see Wang Yang here. This general and a group of imperial guards looked more respectful and admiring than Shangguan, which really surprised Wang Daguan.

"Shui Kiln?" Wang Yang looked at the guys in front of him with a confused look on his face. "You put the gunpowder in the water kiln?"

"Yes, we thought of various ways before to reduce the occurrence of accidents. Later, an old craftsman thought of a way to use the natural cave with water as a place for gunpowder storage. Then we put all the gunpowder utensils on high places with things. In addition, the gunpowder is packaged in oil paper bags according to pounds and then put them into the gunpowder jar."

"And also marked the date on those oil paper bags, so as to minimize the risk of gunpowder accidents..."

Wang Yang finally arrived at the place half-believingly and half-doubtedly, then he realized that this was a cave with a very large internal space, but water flowed through the bottom of the cave.

In the cave, cement and wooden boards were used to build a passage where several people could walk side by side. Instead, the cave wall was divided into several layers.

Each layer was densely filled with large jars with a capacity of about fifty or sixty kilograms. Wang Yang casually opened a jar, took out a pack of gunpowder from the inside, and carefully wrapped the outside with grease paper.

Looking at the gunpowder jars arranged from top to top, from near to far, on both sides of the kiln wall, Wang Daguanren had to sigh that the wisdom of the ancient people was indeed infinite.

"The last general of this cave has personally led his subordinates to investigate, and it has been several miles long. I am afraid that even millions of kilograms of gunpowder can be filled." When the general saw Wang Yang showing a satisfied expression, he couldn't help but show off his skills.

"It's done well and do it well, but it's best to not only clean it after every gunpowder is transported, but it's best to mop these wooden boards, which is safe." Wang Yang nodded with satisfaction.

Well, it is indeed beyond my imagination. Even in later generations, gunpowder storage is definitely a big problem, but it is already rare for these craftsmen to think of using such a method to solve it.

In addition, after leaving the cave kiln, there was a high ground that was leveled into a brand and a huge open space with cement. On the open space, bricks were used to break out the four walls of the four walls with holes.

This is a place specially used to dry gunpowder. In fact, it is not mainly based on the sun, but on the wind passing through the canyon to take away the moisture inside the gunpowder.

"Every three months, the old gunpowder will be dried here, then re-encapsulated and stored in the warehouse..."

"This workshop mainly carries out gunpowder. As for gunpowder weapons, the gunpowder is generally transported from here to the previous gunpowder bureau workshop for production. In this way, even if an accident occurs, it will not cause too much loss..."

After visiting these two places, Wang Yang left the military controlled area with satisfaction with Zhao Ji and embarked on the way back.

Sitting in the spacious front hall of Duan Prince Mansion, two pots of ice were specially placed in the room. By the ice cubes, the temperature in the room was at least not so hot.

Enjoying this natural air conditioner and puffing the trench fungus lotus seed soup with ice fish tinkling there, Zhao Ji's face was both proud and accomplished, and there were also many complex emotions. "... Although he made many achievements, all of these were achieved with the full support of His Majesty, which made him today."

"But now, the ministers in the court and the ministers from various places are extremely dissatisfied with this. After all, the military weapon supervisor now needs to invest more than three million kilns of weapons and armor every year..."

Wang Yang raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully. "Isn't it the past? Wang remembered that in the past few years, the Song Dynasty invested nearly 5 million yuan in the production of crossbows and armor every year, and the weapons and equipment they made were only 677. This is not counted in other aspects, such as various standard weapons and machinery investment..."
