Bai Bao was a cautious person, and he had some problems with Liu Yunwai. As soon as he went to the Carpenters' Bureau, Liu Yunwai worked even harder, fearing that if he did something wrong, Bai Bao would find evidence to complain to Su Rong.
They were all old acquaintances, so Bai Bao immediately understood his little thoughts, but did not expose them. He ignored the matter of making muskets and just supervised with Zhou Ruomin and the others. He watched all the people in the Craftsmen's Office and strictly prevented them from having contact with outsiders. Except for purchases and a few helpers, the Craftsmen's Office now prohibited outsiders from entering.
In this way, the possibility of outsiders infiltrating was completely eliminated, and the Craftsmen's Bureau was peaceful for a while.
At the same time, after Su Rong discussed with Su Yao, he went to talk to Liao Jingxu about the matter of the musket.
Liao Jingxu couldn't believe it. He looked at Su Rong in disbelief and stood up from his chair. "What did you say?"
How could such an outrageous thing happen in this world? The Shenjiying in the capital city were drooling over such a thing as a fire gun, but it was actually made by Boss Ma and his gang?! And it can be used?!
Besides, are these people the boys who bring wealth? Knowing that Xiao Heng needs to fight a quick battle, they sent a large number of fire guns? !
Su Rong understood Liao Jingxu's shock very well and told him what happened again. Liao Jingxu could no longer sit still. He hurriedly went to get his cloak and said, "Let's go and take a look!"
He had to see it with his own eyes to feel at ease.
Because of this incident, Liao Jingxu didn't even have time to go to the backyard to tell Mrs. Liao that he would not be back for dinner today. Mrs. Liao waited for a long time but no one came. She asked someone to go to the front yard and found out that Liao Jingxu had gone out. So she simply invited Mrs. Yuan and Su Yao to have dinner together.
Then he said to Su Yao, "I originally thought that you would invite Uncle to come as well, but it turned out that Uncle went out with our master."
Su Yao smiled and chatted with Mrs. Liao for a while, and Mrs. Liao asked with some concern: "Did Ah Long catch the incident involving Miss Pang that caused so much uproar last time?"
Pang Yuan has been avoiding Su Rong whenever he sees her recently, and Mrs. Liao knows this. However, if A Long's matter is not explained clearly, the Pang family will inevitably be suspicious. Mrs. Liao still hopes to catch A Long as soon as possible.
Speaking of A'long, Su Yao said calmly, "He is dead."
Mrs. Liao didn't react for a moment. She picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in Su Yao's bowl. Then she exclaimed, "Dead?"
Su Yao nodded and gave a brief explanation: "The real A'long has long been dead. The A'long who later took Miss Pang away was Boss Ma's man. If I'm not mistaken, he should also be Boss Ma's man. This person was also discovered by Big Brother a few days ago and died afterwards."
There was actually such an outrageous thing. Madam Liao frowned and looked a little worried: "If that's the case, then can we not trust our servants in the future? Where did these people come from? Are they all going to cause trouble?!"
Su Yao was not angry. What Su Rong said really pleased her. She had the same idea as Su Rong. Since those people came to provoke them, they would die one by one. They did not want to know their past and life experiences, nor did they want to reflect on whether their ancestors had done something wrong that led to these disasters. They only needed to know that these enemies had been harassing them for three generations, and were still trying to kill them in every possible way.
For these people, any kindness would be cruelty to oneself.
She raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's okay, we have already pulled out this batch, as for the future, let's see if they have the luck!"
Liao Jingxu had already arrived at the Craftsmen's Bureau. Because the outside of the Craftsmen's Bureau was now guarded by soldiers, the nearby vendors no longer came, and the streets were very deserted. Their carriage smoothly drove into the alley and arrived at the side door of the Craftsmen's Bureau. Su Rong got out, showed his identity and badge, and led Liao Jingxu in.
Bai Bao heard the news and rushed over. He was about to salute when Liao Jingxu stopped him. Liao Jingxu knew that Bai Bao had contributed to this matter, so he said in a gentle tone: "This time, we have to thank your Bai family for their help."
Bai Bao smiled and shook his head, saying he didn't dare. Knowing that they were here to see the batch of muskets, he led them to the warehouse.
When the rows of boxes were opened, even Liao Jingxu couldn't help but hold his breath. He stood there for a long time before shouting, "Okay!"
He then picked up a musket and examined it carefully.
He could hardly contain his joy. This batch of muskets was already rare, and if they were presented to the court, the imperial court would be shocked. But Su Rong was so ruthless as to keep Mr. Liu and let him persuade those people to speed up the work and continue making muskets.
Those workers are all from Yunnan!
He, Liao Jingxu, is the governor of Yunnan!
The imperial court would probably never have imagined that one day, Yunnan, a remote place, would be able to contribute taxes to the court and even offer such skills and firearms.
He could imagine the shock of the cabinet elders!
These are all his tangible achievements!
Liao Jingxu was so excited that he patted Su Rong's shoulder in front of Bai Bao and said, "My Lord, leave immediately and transport these muskets to the front line to meet His Highness. In addition, keep twenty of them and I will send them back to the capital by express horse!"
Speaking of which, His Majesty's birthday is coming up soon, what better birthday gift could there be than this? !
Su Rong had already been shocked, so now seeing Liao Jingxu so excited, he acted very calmly: "I was just about to tell you about this. Your Highness is also in great need of this batch of things now, but if I send it over, then..."
Liao Jingxu knew that he was worried about the defense of Dali Prefecture, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, my Lord. Trust the people you employ, and don't employ the people you don't trust. You told me this before. Yang Bin and Yang Xin are both very useful. In addition, you have been very kind to them. Now they are all loyal to the court. I trust them. In addition, we still have the Yang and Bai families available. You don't have to worry about these. I have my own arrangements."
Liao Jingxu is indeed a very stable person.
He was able to survive despite the grim atmosphere in Kunming City at that time.
Su Rong did not hesitate any longer and returned to the Mu Mansion with Liao Jingxu. He then went to find Su Yao to explain the matter.
Su Yao also knew that Su Rong was going to transport the muskets. If someone else did this, they would not feel at ease. Therefore, she did not say much, but just told Su Rong to bring more people, and then said: "Such a big mess has happened. I am afraid those people are still determined to do it. You have to leave the city..."
