Cai Jing bent over and peeked outside the door for a while. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided not to disturb him.
No matter what, as long as Rokuro is willing to write, this is a good thing.
Use your pen more often, even if you can't write good articles, you can still practice his ugly calligraphy, which is the worst among Lao Cai's family.
Having said that, since then, Liulang, the boy, has taken on heavy responsibilities outside of ordnance along with Gao Zhang.
There hasn't been any trouble these days, which finally makes Cai Jing, the father, secretly relieved.
However, this child's overconfident nature and his ability to make popular people burst into flames and explode with just one mouth have not changed at all.
I really don’t know what evil I have done to give birth to such an evil beast that makes people worry.
Cai Jing let out a long sigh, shook his head slowly, and left Liulang's residence in three steps.
These days, the Ordnance Prison has received more than 250,000 hand knives produced by Kaifeng Metal Workshop.
I'm afraid that this is the first step in the reform of ordnance, and it will soon be a complete success.
In this way, although his Rokuro is only an assistant officer, he can take credit for his achievements.
Coupled with my operation, it shouldn't be difficult for Rokuro to move up.
However, that boy Gao Zhang was the chief officer of his Liulang family. With the official family's favor for that boy, he didn't know what would happen next.
If given the chance, he should find a way to kick that kid away so that his Rokuro could become the chief officer of the arms reform.
Only then could he, the governor of the Song Dynasty, earn a greater reputation and gain more trust from the officials.
Even though Gao Zhang was still young, he succeeded in creating a new star image in the Song Dynasty's reforms.
Although he did not pose a threat to his aging leader, he did not look good.
Think about it, although I am the only remaining leader of the Song Dynasty's reform faction, I just used the excuse of reform to deal with countless potential opponents and suppress many opponents.
But regarding the reform, Wanwan’s fingers are counting carefully... Ahem, in short, if his son Rokuro can become the leading figure in charge of armaments reform.
The weight of what you say in front of officials will only be heavier, and you can gain more trust from officials.
The scheming and ruthless traitor of Song Dynasty walked around while thinking about the future of his Qilin son.
He has no idea that his conscientious father is actually an evil father who is jealous of talents and suppresses his own heroes in Qilinzi's writings.

On the bank of the river, Gao Zhang was riding the fine horse given by Master Hunjun. On the left and right were Wolong and Fengxiao.
Zhu Que, the head shopkeeper of the Kaifeng Metal Workshop, was riding a mule very energetically and eagerly leading the way.
The forging of the last batch of 50,000 hand knives is coming to an end.
And Gao Zhang, a versatile man who was an official military inspector, came specially to inspect this outsourcing workshop to deal with this matter.
I hope the shopkeeper is not worried but happy. After all, the previous conflicts have proved that the champion is on the side of Kaifeng Metal Workshop.
Moreover, every cash on delivery payment is very satisfying, and there is no such thing as the painful or even despairing feeling of dealing with the government in the past.
Moreover, Manager Deng who was next to Ms. Shishi of the employer told Shopkeeper Zhu Da in a very subtle way that many of the new machines in the workshop were related to the prodigy of the Song Dynasty.
This shocked Shopkeeper Zhu and made him more and more in awe of the No. 1 Scholar.
After all, even after the snake swallowed the Zhao Ji workshop, the total number of craftsmen added later was less than three thousand.
But with these craftsmen, the outsourcing work of 300,000 hand knives was almost completed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It must be said that those new machines played a great role.
After the group arrived at the workshop located on the bank of the river, they were able to see more than a hundred waterwheels standing tall on the river bank.
Such densely packed waterwheels are rotating smoothly and endlessly, driven by abundant water flow.
There was also the sound of metal hitting metal, and sparks flying everywhere.
There are also workers who are constantly moving various materials and are busy working hard.
Gao Zhang did not stop after entering the workshop, and rushed towards the place where the waterwheels were running.
Most of the waterwheels were running smoothly, and the rotation of the waterwheels drove the leather belts.
The rotation of the belt drives a turntable with several metal horizontal branches extending out, a thick metal column.
As the horizontal branch was driven and lifted up, the moment the horizontal branch rotated to a high position, the metal pillar slammed down on the anvil.
Let the red-hot iron piece placed on the anvil deform under the heavy impact of the metal pillar.
#####
There is an experienced craftsman on the side. One hand controls the position where the red-hot iron piece is hit, and the other arm is waving the small hammer in his hand to coordinate the blow.
Not far away on the other side, there is a worker who is picking up a forged hand knife and striking it on the grinding wheel.
As one foot stepped up and down, the grinding wheel rotated rapidly, and the water flowing on it also splashed in all directions. After the hand knife in the hand came closer, sparks flew from time to time along with the harsh sound.
Gao Zhang wandered to the side, where there were many unused grinding wheels.
Each grinding wheel is about three inches in diameter and about half an inch thick. They are neatly stacked there for the craftsmen to take.
"Senior brother, you also made this thing?"
Cai Laoliu came closer, picked up a heavy grinding wheel and weighed it in his hands. He squinted his eyes and his face was full of jealousy.
Gao Zhang laughed and waved his hand generously.
"Well, this thing is not difficult, and it's not worth two cents. Why, if you like it, I'll give you a few. I'm sure Shopkeeper Zhu won't feel bad."
"Hehehe, Brother Guizhang is right. I say to Cai Laoliu, if you like, just carry a few extra pieces home and sharpen your knives."
Facing the sarcastic remarks of these two bastards, Cai Laoliu, who was so jealous that his liver ached, turned dark and put the thing away with disgust on his face.
"Cai is a gentleman, why do you want something like this?"
Gao Zhang patted Cai Laoliu on the shoulder and spoke sincerely.
"Junior brother, what you said is wrong. As the saying goes, as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle.
Look at the poet Li Bai who has such heroic ambitions, why can't you imitate them? "
"Has Li Bai ever worn it?"
Cai Laoliu looked at this cruel, yet horribly knowledgeable senior brother with a confused expression on his face.
Looking at this silly and cute Lao Liu, the kind-hearted Gao Zhang was not willing to deceive him after all.
"That's not true, but he saw others grind it."
"..."
