"Hehe! It's easy to talk! Everything is easy to talk about. I will have someone deliver it to Mr. Lin in a moment."
Li Jiantai said with a smile.
Lin Fan walked up to Li Jiantai and glared at the servant who was supporting Li Jiantai. The servant immediately stepped aside and knelt on the ground.
Li Jiantai's body was trembling and he almost fell to the ground. Lin Fan looked at him. Although this man surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the end, he resisted at least and could be considered a loyal minister.
"Li Shangshu, I heard that you have a batch of iron ore?
Is it true or false?”
Lin Fan asked.
"This... I do have a batch of iron ore on hand, but Mr. Lin, this iron ore is indeed worth some money, but it is not easy to sell at this juncture!"
"If you accidentally fall into the hands of bandits, and the officials in the court use this as a reason to impeach you, even ten heads will not be enough to chop you off!"
Li Jiantai said in a deep voice, he was also worried that he would be implicated.
"Haha! Mr. Li, I want this iron ore to make some embroidered spring knives for Jinyiwei. As you know, everyone in the world knows that Jinyiwei has 150,000 people, but in fact?
There are only 20,000 people!”
"In order to relieve His Majesty's worries, I decided to increase the number of Imperial Guards to 150,000, which requires a lot of knives!"
Lin Fan patted Li Jiantai on the shoulder and said.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of coming today is to get iron ore?"
Li Jiantai came back to his senses at this time.
"That's right! I just want iron ore!"
Lin Fan said.
call!
Li Jiantai let out a long breath. He didn't want to take his own life, but wouldn't his ten thousand taels of silver have been wasted?
this……
Li Jiantai felt a pain in his body, but as long as he could survive, he said: "Mr. Lin, this iron ore is heavy. I will send someone to take you to the place where the iron ore is stored. You can pull it away yourself.
How about it?"
"Can."
Lin Fan said.
Li Jiantai hurriedly sent someone to lead Lin Fan, and Lin Fan left with the Jin Yiwei until all the Jin Yiwei left the Li Mansion, and Li Jiantai sat down on the ground.
"Master, are you okay?"
Mrs. Li hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Li Jiantai said: "This! This is definitely His Majesty's handiwork. I never imagined that Your Majesty would have such means to secretly train a young man and control Jin Yiwei easily!"
Li Jiantai sighed there, Lin Fan had already started hauling iron ore, and it took more than 20 large carriages to pull them all to the arsenal for a whole day.
Moreover, the rooms in the arsenal were all full at this time. After all, Jin Yiwei was very rich now. All the blacksmiths in the city were invited, and even the capable people from the Ministry of Industry came.
Ding dong!
Inside the arsenal, there was the sound of banging iron blocks everywhere, and the production of Xiuchun knives reached a rate of three thousand per day.
"Come here! Find someone quickly to write an announcement and post it tomorrow. Just say that Jinyiwei is recruiting people. The internship period is three months. The salary during the internship is the same as Jinyiwei. After the internship period, the salary will be doubled!"
Lin Fan said.
"Yes! Sir!"
Jin Yiwei hurriedly found someone to write an announcement.
Early the next morning, Jin Yiwei's announcements were posted everywhere in the capital.
"Hiss! I heard two days ago that Jin Yiwei had money. Not only did he pay all Jin Yiwei's arrears of salary, but he also tripled it. It's true!"
"What does this internship mean?"
"Tch! You don't understand this. The internship period means you are in the first three months. It is not a formal Jin Yiwei, but the treatment is equivalent to that of a Jin Yiwei!"
"After passing the internship period, your salary will be doubled. Mr. Lin is really willing to give it up!"
"My son is eighteen years old this year and has no job yet. I will let him give it a try now. If he can take this opportunity to become a royal guard, it will be a great honor for his ancestors!"
"That's right! My son, who has nothing to do all day long, wants to be a head catcher but has nowhere to go. Now he's fine and can directly become a royal guard!"
…
When the people saw this notice, they all went back to let their sons have a try. At three o'clock in the morning, the Baihu Si Yamen was crowded with people who came to participate in the selection.
At this time, Lin Fan came to Six Gates, which was a prison institution in the Ming Dynasty. At its peak, there were four famous arrests, but now, it has declined.
There were only a few people among the six doors. Lin Fan walked in and no one noticed him. He walked to the six-door prison and prepared to sign in.
"System, sign in here!"
Lin Fan said.
I wonder what kind of treasures you can get by signing in to the six-door prison!
Ding!
"The host signs in the six-door prison and gets a copy of the iron wall city defense map!"
kindness?
When I signed in at Jianyu, I was actually given a city defense map. What does this mean?
Iron Wall City Defense Map: It was drawn by a strange person and presented it to Li Jiantai, Minister of the Ministry of War, saying that it could help the Ministry of War defend the capital. Li Jiantai thought that this person was alarmist, so he threw him into a six-door prison. This person eventually died out of hatred.
end.
wipe!
Li Jiantai, this idiot, is too pedantic. If someone gives you a city defense map, you can drive them away even if you don't want them. What do you mean by putting people in jail?
However, this city defense map is indeed a good thing!
Although Lin Fan didn't understand these things, he could see the subtlety of this city defense plan at a glance. Once the entire capital was laid out and the city gates were closed, Li Zicheng would never be able to get in.
"Give this thing back to Chongzhen. If he wants to use it, that's the best. If he doesn't use it, there's nothing I can do about it."
Lin Fan muttered to himself and walked towards the Baihu Si Yamen.
He was also shocked when he saw that there were no less than 2,000 people participating in the selection. He thought that he could recruit up to 20,000 people in three months, but now it seems that it has far exceeded his expectations.
"Sir! You are finally back. With so many people coming to participate in the selection, how can we select them well?"
A Jinyi guard saw Lin Fan coming back and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"As long as they are under thirty years old, I want them all. Register their identity information and ask them to wait for me in Beizhen Fusi!"
Lin Fan said.
"What! Do you want them all?"
The man said in shock.
"Of course I want them all. I want to increase the number of Jin Yiwei to 150,000. If the selection is too difficult, will anyone come tomorrow?"
Lin Fan said.
"Yes! Sir, I understand!"
The Jinyi guard understood what Lin Fan meant and hurriedly went in to record the information.
On this day alone, Lin Fan recruited more than 5,000 Jinyi guards, and most of them were young and strong, with very few in their thirties.
"There were five thousand people on the first day, and there will only be more people on the second day. It seems that the matter of Feiyu suit has also been put on the agenda. I will go to the morning court tomorrow and propose to His Majesty that we let people from the Ministry of Industry do it.
