Legendary Armament Canon Chapter 79: Naive!
"Master in charge, we still don't have the materials for today."
Zhang Yibei bowed and reported, with some doubts and anger on his face.
"What day is it?"
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows and asked.
Since the last incident, Zhou Shu stayed in the Casting Division's workshop to cast soldiers without leaving home.
In the past few days, he has cast dozens of embroidered spring knives. Seeing the map of the gods, the number of embroidered spring knives is almost full.
As a result, Zhang Yibei told him that the materials in workshop 0 had been used up, and new materials were not delivered on time.
The Foundry Division workshop is also divided into several departments. For example, Zhang Yibei, Wu Laoliu, and other apprentices who are cast soldiers work on the front line. Others include inspecting weapons, escorting weapons, and cooking. , there are distribution materials and so on.
The most important material for the Casting Division is naturally the iron material, as well as the fuel used in the smelting furnace.
Under normal circumstances, the materials needed by the workshop will be delivered to each workshop on time. In the past in workshop No. 97, Zhou Shu never bothered about the materials.
Even after he became the head of workshop No. 0, he never bothered about these trivial matters. It was Zhang Yibei who always dealt with the people who transported the materials.
"The third day."
Zhang Yibei replied.
"What did the people in the material department say?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"Don't say anything, just say let's run out of materials, let's wait."
Zhang Yibei said angrily, "There are not enough materials, so why do other workshops have them? Our No. 0 workshop doesn't have them!"
"Only our No. 0 Workshop?"
Zhou Shu frowned.
"Yes."
Zhang Yibei said, "I went to other workshops to see, and they have plenty of materials."
"Okay, I understand, you go down first."
Zhou Shu waved his hand and motioned Zhang Yibei to go down.
"Yes, my lord."
Zhang Yibei, before going down, he still asked, "Master, what do you do if you don't have materials?"
Soldier casting apprentices' daily job is to cast soldiers. Without materials, what kind of soldiers do they cast?
"Isn't all the martial arts techniques given to you? Practice them."
Zhou Shu waved his hand and said.
Zhang Yibei snorted and went back to the front yard to arrange for other apprentices to go.
"Other workshops have them, only workshop zero doesn't have them."
After Zhang Yibei left, Zhou Shu tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, "Someone is targeting Workshop Zero."
Zhou Shu is not a fool. As soon as he heard Zhang Yibei say this, he knew there was a problem.
Workshop No. 0 does not need to undertake casting tasks now, and the materials they consume every day are simply insignificant compared to the entire Foundry Division workshop.
So it's impossible that they lack workshop No. 0 because there are enough materials.
"Yin Wuyou was a little angry last time, but she still wouldn't do such a thing." Zhou Shu pondered, "It won't do her any good to cut off the materials in No. 0 workshop."
"The people in the material department, I have never dealt with them, and they will not target me for no reason. Then, there is only one possibility!"
"Zhu Chuanfeng!"
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth and whispered.
He didn't talk about being kind to others at the Casting Division, but he never offended anyone. If he had hatred for him, there was only one Zhu Chuanfeng!
Zhu Chuanfeng is a master craftsman of soldiers, and he has a detached position in the casting department. If he reveals a little meaning, it will not be difficult to cut off the materials of the No. 0 workshop.
"The old thief thought this would make me submit? Doesn't he know that workshop No. 0 does not need to undertake the casting task? Even if there is no material, how can he take me?"
Zhou Shu snorted coldly in his heart.
In fact, the material of the No. 0 workshop was cut off, which had a great impact on Zhou Shu.
Although he doesn't need to undertake the casting task, he also needs to try to develop weapons. To try, he needs materials.
Without materials, these tasks cannot be carried out at all, so how can new weapons be developed?
Of course, this is the normal process of developing weapons. For Zhou Shu, this is no problem.
He develops weapons and doesn't need to try at all.
But he has to count the number of soldiers to cast. Without the materials, how can he cast the embroidered spring knife?
His embroidered spring knives are still a dozen or so away from a hundred!
"Damn old thief!"
Zhou Shu secretly scolded, I have to say, Zhu Chuanfeng's hand is really disgusting.
"Go to Yin Wuyou?"
Zhou Shu himself denied this method. If you bother Yin Wuyou with such a trivial matter, then Yin Wuyou's patience will be exhausted sooner or later.
Besides, if you go to Da Sikong for trivial matters, what will others think of him?
Don't you think he's the head of the No. 0 Workshop who doesn't live up to his name.
Except for Da Sikong, Zhou Shu really doesn't know any of the other bosses of the Casting Division.
There are four other Sikongs under the caster Sikong, and under Sikong, there are Langzhong and Yuanwailang, layer by layer.
If it is another workshop owner, he must be familiar with these people.
However, Zhou Shu was directly promoted by Yin Wuyou from the apprentice of casting soldiers to the master of the workshop, and he had never dealt with these people at all.
Now that something has happened, go to someone, they will help him?
Besides, doesn't Zhu Chuanfeng have more face than him?
This is only a small part of the influence of the forge master, and it is enough to make a workshop master a dilemma.
Without materials, the casting task cannot be completed, which is a devastating blow to the master of the workshop.
Even if I ask my boss to report it, the material department only says that the materials are insufficient, and it takes a few days. Which workshop can handle it?
"You want me to submit to you by this means? Zhu Chuanfeng, you must have underestimated me!"
Zhou Shu said coldly.
"Without materials, I can't develop new weapons? Naive!"
Zhou Shu sneered.
"Zhang Yibei!"
Zhou Shu raised his voice.
"In!"
Zhang Yibei responded loudly in the front yard, followed by the sound of Tata, Zhang Yibei ran to Zhou Shu's backyard.
"I'll leave for a few days. You stay in the workshop. You can't cast soldiers and don't be idle. You must not relax in martial arts." Zhou Shu ordered, "Tell everyone, as long as everyone behaves well, I will teach everyone the real skill of casting soldiers, and it is not impossible to be promoted to the casting division at that time.”
"Master in charge—"
Zhang Yibei's eyes lit up and his voice trembled.
They also learned some soldier casting skills from Zhou Shu before, and only then did they know that if they wanted to become a soldier casting master, they had to inherit their skills.
Originally, Zhang Yibei had lost hope, but Zhou Shu gave him hope again.
"Tao does not pass lightly, if you can't meet my requirements, then don't think about it."
Zhou Shu said indifferently.
"Don't worry, Lord! We must practice to the death!"
Zhang Yibei promised loudly.
Zhou Shu nodded, noncommittal, he put on his coat, and left Workshop Zero.
Zhang Yibei passed Zhou Shu's words to the apprentices of the cast soldiers, and the group began to practice desperately as if they had been beaten with blood.
On the other side, workshop No. 97 welcomed a new workshop manager, a young man in his twenties.
The young man stood in the workshop No. 97 originally belonged to Zhou Shu, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Thinking that becoming the master of the workshop can get rid of the fate of mud legs and turn over completely?"
The young man sneered, "Naive! I'll let you see clearly how far apart you are from a real soldier!"
In the pupils of the young man, there seemed to be a flame, and when he raised his hand, the hammer that fell in the corner automatically flew to his hand, and he waved it gently.
With a bang, the entire shed was turned into ruins.
The capital, the headquarters of the Casting Division.
Yin Wuyou sat in the high hall, opposite her, almost all the high-level officials of the Casting Division were present.
"Da Sikong, do you have a tune for the workshop's monthly exam?"
A middle-aged man said, he is Sikong Meng Jinguang of the Forging Division, and he is also the second-in-command of the Forging Division.
"It's not going to work as usual."
Yin Wuyou said.
The monthly examination of the Foundry Division's workshop is actually an assessment of the performance of each workshop. Good performance will be rewarded. If the task is not completed, there will be penalties.
This is also the practice of the Army Casting Division. There are certain rules, and Yin Wuyou does not intend to interfere too much.
Although she wants to change the habits of the Casting Division, she doesn't want to overthrow everything. At least the monthly exams in the Casting Division's workshop were not a big problem in her opinion.
"If in the past, it would be no problem to follow the usual practice." Meng Jinguang nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said slowly, "But this time the situation is a little different."
"What's the difference?"
Yin Wuyou said.
"How should you evaluate the No. 0 workshop you set up, Da Sikong?"
"Before this ~IndoMTL.com~ the 108 workshops of the Forge Division, except for the first thirty-six which consisted of the forge divisions, the remaining 72 workshops were all treated equally. The evaluation is very simple, and it can be carried out according to the quantity and quality of casting weapons."
"But in Workshop 0, Da Sikong granted them no need to undertake the task of casting soldiers. I'm not sure how to evaluate them."
Meng Jinguang said.
"Forgive your subordinates to speak bluntly, perhaps because Da Sikong is far-sighted, your subordinates can't see the significance of setting up a No. 0 workshop."
Yin Wuyou frowned, "Is Meng Sikong questioning this big Sikong?"
"Don't dare."
Meng Jinguang shook his head and said, without an expression of fear on his face, but with a serious expression, "I just feel that there is no need to set up a separate workshop to develop improved weapons."
"You mean, the zero workshop was banned?"
Yin Wuyou snorted coldly.
Meng Jinguang didn't speak, but his meaning was already obvious.
"Da Sikong, Meng Sikong, I have a suggestion."
Another voice sounded, breaking the deadlock.
"Da Sikong established the No. 0 workshop with good intentions, but it may be that Da Sikong's time to cast soldiers is short, and he doesn't know enough about casting soldiers." The man said later, he almost pointed With Yin Wuyou's nose, Yin Wuyou is a layman.
Yin Wuyou's pretty face turned cold, and she snorted coldly.
The man continued disapprovingly, "My suggestion is to take advantage of this monthly exam and let Workshop No. 0 prove its worth. If other workshops can afford the work they do, then There is no need for them to exist, on the contrary, if they prove that they are worth more than other workshops, then of course they can continue to exist."
