Chapter 344: What do powerful clans know
As he spoke, Hong Shuai stuffed another Qixian Powder into his mouth. The powerful medicine poured into his body, constantly repairing the injury, making him feel so comfortable that he almost cried out.
This elixir is really good!
Si Hongwen flipped through the roster and saw that the densely packed blacksmithing materials made him dizzy.
Although he had not compared it, he was very sure that if he wanted to come up with materials that were not duplicated in this list, even the Ministry of Industry would not have much.
Si Hongwen coughed, walked over to Hong Shuai, who was taking drugs, and said: "Hong Shuai, there are so many materials, it is not easy to come up with something that is not repeated. I will try my best to let people search for it, but I guess There are two to three hundred species at most.”
"Two or three hundred kinds?" Hong Shuai suddenly frowned: "Si Hongwen, don't try to deceive me. Although the best materials have been snatched away by powerful clans, you have been in the Ministry of Industry for so many years. Click inventory.”
"It's not that the Ministry of Industry has low inventory." Si Hongwen said with a wry smile: "It's just that there are too many materials on this roster. Master Jiang Linjiang must have wanted it, right? He didn't tell you that the Ministry of Industry had already sent it to you. One or two thousand different materials?”
Hong Shuai was surprised. Jiang Lin had never said this, nor had he seen the roster.
Do you only think about blacksmithing materials? There are thousands of them, and only three thousand are not readily available.
Seeing the sincerity on Si Hongwen's face, Hong Shuai said: "In that case, just take as much as you have. I won't make it difficult for you. But the Ministry of Industry is really poor and can't even provide three thousand kinds of materials."
Si Hongwen opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he finally remained silent.
"Go to the warehouse and bring all the unused materials to Hong Shuai."
However, Hong Shuai waved his hand and said: "What can you do for me? Just send it to the blacksmith camp and give it to that boy Jiang Lin."
Naturally, Si Hongwen would not have any objections. After Hong Shuai took a Qixian Powder, he immediately felt much better and said: "That's it. Since the Ministry of Works can't get it, then I'll find someone else to get some. Your Ministry of Works also I’m so poor, I don’t know how that kid Jiang Lin would be willing to work under you, how can he compare to our border army!”
Si Hongwen laughed dryly, cupped his hands and said, "What Hong Shuai taught me is that the Ministry of Industry is a bit poor."
Hong Shuai didn't want to talk to him anymore and turned to leave.
An official from the Ministry of Industry came over and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't Mr. Minister tell Hong Shuai that many materials had been taken away by Yu Shuai's people?"
"Why do you say that?" Si Hongwen showed a slightly complacent smile and said, "Didn't Marshal Hong say that our Ministry of Works is poor? Let's see where he can find the rest in Kyoto City today. More than two thousand materials to go.”
When the official heard this, he was slightly startled. Then he understood Si Hongwen's intention and couldn't help laughing.
Yes, the entire Kyoto City, from the Ministry of Industry, to the garrison, to officials at all levels, everyone who lives in Kyoto City has been raided by Yu Shuai's people.
Any rat that ran in the gutter would be picked up and shaken twice.
If Hong Shuai can find a hundred more materials, he is considered capable.
When the Ministry of Industry was sending the materials found to the blacksmith camp, Hong Shuai also came to the Ministry of War.
The same roster was thrown at the Minister of War, and he said carelessly: "Immediately find 2,800 kinds of blacksmithing materials that are not recorded on the roster and are not repeated. I want to use them."
After saying that, Hong Shuai took drugs again, squinting his eyes comfortably, full of enjoyment.
Deng Yu, the Minister of War, looked astonished and asked, "What does Commander Hong want with so much material?"
"That kid Jiang Lin wants to use it to make holy weapon-level chaos arrows, and take them to the northwest to kill those bandits in Xiyi, so hurry up." Hong Shuai said.
However, Deng Yufeng gave a wry smile and said: "As expected, it is for Mr. Jiang. I said no one in the border army needs so many materials."
After a pause, Deng Yufeng held up his hands and said, "Please forgive me, Marshal Hong, but I really can't get these things out. Previously, Marshal Yu had sent General Cai here to rummage through all the materials in stock in the Ministry of War, and collected hundreds of items to give away." Went to the blacksmith camp”
"General Cai? Cai Xingchang?" Hong Shuai opened his eyes and looked over, asking, "Why is he sending so many materials if he has nothing to do?"
"Don't Hong Shuai know?" Deng Yufeng said in surprise: "Master Jiang promised to give Yu Shuai one million sergeants, all of whom would be replaced with weapons of the third grade or above, 10% of which were above the second grade. Yu Shuai promised to give Master Jiang 100 million Two more silver, six thousand kinds of materials, plus ancient purple goldwood branches transplanted from Xuanhua Road. ”
Seeing Hong Shuai's increasingly livid face, Deng Yufeng couldn't help but take two steps back and said with a dry smile: "Hong Shuai, don't be angry. Many people know about this. Could it be that no one has told you?"
Naturally, no one told Hong Shuai that he didn't pay too much attention to such "little things". In addition, in order to prevent Xu Jiandao from escaping from Daqian, he took his troops to the northwest frontier early.
After listening to Deng Yufeng's words, Hong Shuai couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "So you mean that in order to build weapons for the millions of soldiers under his command, Yu Shuai not only requisitioned materials from the Ministry of Industry in advance, but also lost materials from the Ministry of War?"
"Of course not." Deng Yufeng said.
Hong Shuai couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Could it be that there was still stock?
However, Deng Yufeng said: "Not only the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, but also officials at all levels, and even garrison camps, including private blacksmith shops, the border troops have searched them all a few days ago, and now they probably can't come up with anything."< br>
Hong Shuai held the last Qixian Powder in his hand, but he had no interest in taking drugs at all.
His teeth are almost broken now, and his expression is extremely gloomy.
That's too much!
It's too much! Not only did Yu Shuai reap such huge benefits, he even searched for all the materials. So what should he do?
Thinking that Jiang Lin only had one or two thousand species at the beginning, but he boasted that Haikou had mentioned three thousand species, Hong Shuai suddenly had the urge to give himself a slap in the face.
He himself comes from the frontier army, so he naturally understands the style of the frontier army. There may not be a single hair left in the entire city of Kyoto.
Hong Shuai suddenly took a step forward, grabbed Deng Yufeng's collar, stared at the second-rank minister of the Ministry of War, and said angrily: "I don't care what method you use, 2800 methods must be gathered together. This matter has nothing to do with it." The northwest frontier is stable, maybe you want to die!”
Deng Yufeng had a grimace on his face and did not dare to resist. He only said: "Hong Shuai calm down. It's not that I don't want to do it, but that I really can't do it..."
At this time, a Ministry of War official next to him said bravely: "There are only two options at the moment."
Hong Shuai pushed Deng Yufeng away and turned to look at the official: "Say!"
"The first thing is to find the powerful clans. Their materials must be ten times or a hundred times more than ours."
Hong Shuai said without thinking: "What about the second way?"
It's so easy to take advantage of the powerful clans. If you go to them and ask for materials for no reason, it's hard to tell whether you will give them or not.
"The second way is to go to Ling Shuai. Da Chen and Daliang are attacking on two fronts, and now they have achieved great results. They must be able to find a lot of materials." The official said.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Hong Shuai's eyes lit up when he heard that, yes, there is Ling Shuai too!
Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out of the military department, disappearing in a flash.
Seeing that Hong Shuai seemed to really want to go to Ling Shuai to ask for materials, Deng Yufeng straightened out his messed up collar, looked at the official, and sighed: "Aren't you causing trouble for yourself? Who knows that Yu Shuai has already sent I went to Ling Shuai to get some materials, and I guess I should be back now.”
The official smiled bitterly: "What else? If I don't give an explanation today, Hong Shuai is afraid that he will demolish this place."
The commander-in-chief's power does not override that of the Ministry of War, but in reality, his prestige is even greater.
If someone from the Ministry of War demolished the commander's mansion in Gujin Alley, it would be a death sentence for the Nine Tribes.
But if the commander-in-chief dismantles the Ministry of War in anger, His Majesty will probably just reprimand him and fine him some money.
"But if Hong Shuai can't find the materials at Ling Shuai's place, he will come back after all." Deng Yufeng said.
"Come back? According to what I see, Commander Hong may not come back to see us."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
The official said: "Since Commander Hong is looking for materials for Mr. Jiang, they must have talked face to face. The handsome commander promised others but couldn't do it. How could he endure such a loss of face?"
"If Ling Shuai can't find the materials, Hong Shuai will probably go directly to a few powerful clans to get them together. We can't come back in a vacuum."
Deng Yufeng nodded slightly when he heard this: "That's true."
The official smiled slightly and said: "It might be a good idea to take this opportunity to test the reaction of the powerful clan."
"Well, it's a good way to kill two birds with one stone, very good." Deng Yufeng praised with a smile.
The official felt a little proud and cupped his hands and said: "It's all because of the guidance of the Vice Minister that this..."
"Advice? I don't dare to give you advice." Deng Yufeng's face suddenly darkened and he said coldly: "Although he has good intentions, but he has not received the holy mandate, how dare he take advantage of a commander? Strip him of his official position and put him in prison until Commander Hong comes back. Deal with it again!”
The third-grade official was stunned for a moment. Several guards had already stepped forward to hold him up. He suddenly panicked and said, "Your Excellency, I only have good intentions and have no intention of taking advantage of the commander-in-chief!"
"Detain him!" Deng Yufeng said coldly.
No matter how much the man complained, Deng Yufeng ignored him.
This person had just been promoted from the local government army, and the Ministry of War was, to a certain extent, a key area infiltrated by powerful clans.
But it is a pity that almost every person installed by the powerful clan will be quickly identified and then beheaded for various reasons.
So much so that the powerful clans were wondering why this was happening.
They obviously do things very carefully, but how come no one survives for a long time?
Deng Yufeng sneered in his heart, how could someone who was truly on the side of the imperial court want to stir up unnecessary disputes.
What's more, he's a handsome man! Everyone is one of the backbones of the Daqian Dynasty!
People who sincerely serve the court will only think about charging in person, and will not use the general to test the bottom line of the powerful clan.
If anyone can take advantage of it, it can only be His Majesty the Emperor!
People from powerful clans often don't understand this, so every time they come up, they are quickly caught and die miserably.
