The Ministry of War's methods for dealing with worn ordnance are the above three. If the wear is very serious, it is melted into molten iron and re-forged by craftsmen. If the wear and tear can be repaired, a craftsman will repair it and then reuse it.
These two possibilities are always within the control of the Ministry of War. Xu Zhaojie basically has no possibility of operation. Only the third kind of sale can Xu Zhaojie have room to operate.
There were foreign races outside the Great Zhou Dynasty and vassal towns within it, but these foreign races and the vassal towns were not monolithic, and this undoubtedly gave the Great Zhou court room to unite vertically and horizontally.
As for the officials of Honglu Temple who are responsible for the diplomatic meetings, even if they are skillful, eloquent, and have a lotus tongue, they cannot complete the court's foreign strategy with just one mouth. They still need the exchange of interests to complete the external forces. To win over and divide...
And this benefit includes but is not limited to food, weapons, etc. Although supervision and review are very strict, whenever the foreign strategy requires it, the Zhou court will still pass, sell, or give it away. Release some of the ordnance and weapons.
The Liu family behind Liu Shilin, whom Ye Mingsheng met in the palace, once did such a thing. They helped the Zhou Dynasty court sell some second-hand ordnance and weapons that were not in high wear condition to some people who were close to the Zhou Dynasty in the palace capital at that time. of local armed forces.
This strengthened the ties with the armed forces in these places, and checked and balanced Li Zaiyuan, the king of the palace capital, who was swinging back and forth between Luobei and Dazhou. Secondly, he also gained a lot of money and improved the imperial court of Dazhou. , the financial situation is not optimistic, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
If the Liu family can do this, then Xu Zhaojie can do the same, and then use some other tricks to get this batch of worn ordnance!
After thinking about it carefully, Ye Mingsheng felt that he was right. If Xu Zhaojie got this batch of worn ordnance weapons into his own hands, he would probably use the Ministry of War's external export method. In addition, Ye Mingsheng, I really can’t imagine that there are other possibilities...
Now that he understood Xu Zhaojie's method of use, Ye Mingsheng immediately called Ye Tie in and ordered;
"Go to the Li Mansion tomorrow and ask the Ministry of War how to deal with the worn out ordnance of the Xuanwu Army in the sixth year of Anhe. If possible, please Mr. Li take out the files!"
Although Ye Mingsheng was sure that Xu Zhaojie most likely did it this way, he needed evidence. Without evidence to support, his judgment was like trying to catch the moon in the sky, so he needed Li Guangbin's help to confirm his judgment.
Ye Tie nodded first and agreed to the matter, then hesitated and asked Ye Mingsheng: "Then what should I say if Mr. Li asks?"
Ye Mingsheng thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "If he asks, just say that I don't have a clue yet, I just want to take a look at everything!"
"I understand!" Ye Tie said in a deep voice:
After thinking about it again and again, Ye Mingsheng ordered again: "Let Ye Tie and Ye Kui get ready tomorrow and go out with me to do things."
Hearing that Ye Mingsheng was going to do something, Ye Tie hesitated a little, and then asked tentatively: "Master, is the matter dangerous?"
"Don't worry, the two of them are enough for small things!" Ye Mingsheng said with a smile:
After receiving Ye Mingsheng's instructions, Ye Tie went to work with peace of mind. Before leaving, he picked up the files that Ye Mingsheng had just pushed off the desk in excitement, sorted them one by one, and put them back on the desk.
Although it was not any physical work, the mental thinking just now made Ye Mingsheng feel a little tired...
Ye Tie's question just now can be said to have clicked on him, making him think more deeply. If what he thought was correct, Xu Zhaojie really obtained the batch of worn out ordnance through the imperial court's method of exporting weapons to the outside world. , which means that Xu Zhaojie is most likely not operating alone. At least the person or force responsible for undertaking this batch of worn-out ordnance weapons was bribed by Xu Zhaojie.
Without being sure who this force was, Ye Mingsheng thought it would be better to be careful and not reveal more information to Li Guangbin. God knows if Li Guangbin has anything to do with them.
Leaning on the Taishi chair, he felt that since he had discovered Xu Zhaojie's gameplay, he should speed up the progress of the matter. He should go to Sanyuan Town outside Luo'an City tomorrow to find Xu Zhaojie's former lover. Concubine Yang.
Even though it was confirmed from Li Guangbin that his judgment was correct, and he knew who was responsible for the external export of this batch of worn out ordnance.
But these are not enough to prove that this batch of worn out ordnance has returned to Xu Zhaojie's hands.
! If you want to discover more valuable information, you still have to start with Yang, Xu Zhaojie’s favorite concubine back then...

At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Ye Mingsheng slowly opened his eyes and felt the warm sunlight coming through the window outside his bedroom. His face before he woke up was full of surprise.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Ye Mingsheng turned around and glanced at Pei Zhixiu, who was sleeping soundly on his arm. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had planned to leave at 9:00 today and try to go back early.
But he was in a good mood after cracking Xu Zhaojie's secret last night. When he was excited, he pulled Pei Zhixiu into some intense exercise.
I never thought I would last until now, but looking at the sun, it was already late, so it wasn't too late.
Carefully, he pulled out his numb arm from under Pei Zhixiu's head. Ye Mingsheng had no intention of disturbing Pei Zhixiu, who had been tortured by him all night, to let her have a good rest, but Pei Zhixiu's sleep was indeed lighter. , as soon as Ye Mingsheng took away his arm, she was awakened and opened her eyes very sleepily.
"Let's sleep a little longer!" Ye Mingsheng scratched his head lovingly, and the person beside the pillow said softly with his delicate and delicate nose;
Pei Zhixiu, who had just woken up, was very pleased with Ye Mingsheng's intimate gesture. However, seeing that Ye Mingsheng seemed to be going out, she tried her best to overcome her sleepiness, got up from the bed, and helped Ye Mingsheng put on the clothes. His favorite black cotton robe.
"No spending the night outside..."
Pei Zhixiu, who was like a little daughter-in-law, carefully arranged Ye Mingsheng's robe and whispered:
