Chapter 1540: Large Numbers of Weapons Equipped to the Army
Under Gian's orders, everyone happily began calculating.
Fat Tiger ignored what these people were saying, and after finding the recorder and understanding the situation, he took the register to the official who had collected the body.
The officials and soldiers who came to collect the bodies all looked on with envy when they saw the weapons slung over Fat Tiger's back.
So, after Fat Tiger connected with the officials, he returned to the factory and found that he had more than 10,000 taels of silver in front of him.
All of them were in small pieces of silver, each weighing one tael, for easy distribution.
Those who had participated in the battle were incredibly excited when they saw the piles of silver in front of Fat Tiger.
I wish there were more spies; then I wouldn't have to worry about money.
After the silver was distributed, the entire arsenal returned to its previous busy production.
Since the spies attacked the arsenal, the entire Song Kingdom has been paying close attention.
Dong Shilan directly ordered Tang Yun to send troops to guard the area at all times to prevent anyone with malicious intent from causing sabotage.
The people inside the arsenal were thoroughly investigated, and after executing two suspected foreign spies, the entire arsenal was placed under martial law.
Chu Chen was happy to have some free time. Anyway, he provided the materials and Dong Shilan paid for them. Now, even the security was taken care of for him.
Fat Tiger, being familiar with various firearms, was directly appointed as the Chief Instructor of Divine Machines by an imperial decree from Dong Shilan. He transformed from an ordinary citizen into a sixth-rank official, receiving not only dividends from Chu Chen every day but also a salary from the imperial court.
Fat Tiger was genuinely grateful to Chu Chen for this outcome.
If it weren't for Chu Chen, how could Fatty Tiger have earned such an honor in his life?
Gou Shengzi, along with the eight men, stayed close to Chu Chen at all times, protecting his safety.
Niu Zi manages everything at the sugar factory in the south, including manufacturing and sales.
Having made a fortune, Chu Chen was no longer interested in managing it and simply waited for his dividends. At this moment, the money held no interest for Chu Chen at all, because he could never spend it all.
His goal was simple: to see the world become a true family, and then his mission would be over.
Three months later, Chu Chen followed Fatty Tiger to the weapons depot and looked at the neatly stacked weapons: "Fatty Tiger, you've worked hard!"
“Brother Chen, why are we talking about this? If it weren’t for you, I would still be watching Aunt Liu take a bath in the village.”
Chu Chen chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, let's not talk about the past, my head coach."
"Hehe, Brother Chen, everything His Majesty ordered has been manufactured. Should the factory continue production?"
Chu Chen chuckled in exasperation after hearing this: "Who said it's finished? It's only half finished."
Fat Tiger became smarter this time. He understood what Chu Chen meant, which was that they should keep half for themselves.
Could it be that Brother Chen is really going to rebel? But if he is rebelling, selling these weapons to His Majesty would be like giving someone a knife in a fight.
Seeing Fat Tiger's puzzled look, he said, "Hehe, I have no intention of becoming some damn emperor. Don't worry, our lives are just as comfortable as those of an emperor."
After hearing Chu Chen's words, Fatty Tiger immediately smiled and said, "Brother Chen, we all have to live well and live to be a hundred years old."
"The girls in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion are so pitiful, they're all waiting for me, Fatty Tiger, to help them."
"Go ahead. Now that you know, figure out how to do it yourself. You're an adult."
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I'll definitely make you satisfied."
Three days later, when Chu Chen went to the warehouse again, he found that there was only half of the weapon. The other half had been secretly sent out of the factory by Fatty Tiger and stored away somewhere.
"Fat Tiger, where's the stuff?"
"Brother Chen, come with me." After saying that, Fatty Tiger led Chu Chen into the hill next to the arsenal, the one where they often practiced target shooting.
Then, next to a small ditch, they found an underground natural cave.
Fat Tiger then put all of these things into the cave.
Feeling the dry environment inside the cave, Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction: "How many people know about this place?"
"Hehe, you, me, Gou Shengzi, and your eight guards."
"Good, very well done. Give those eight people a good reward."
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, everything is arranged. In addition, I have brought their families back from the south."
Looking at Fat Tiger's harmless smile, Chu Chen had a feeling: Is this still the same Fat Tiger from before? He actually did these things so meticulously.
Two months later, all the equipment that Dong Shilan needed was manufactured.
Chu Chen immediately sent a message to the capital city informing them of the completion of the project.
Upon receiving the information, Dong Shilan immediately led Tang Yun and a team of about two thousand soldiers straight to Seoul.
When she saw Chu Chen again, she immediately showed a fanatical expression.
"Chu Chen greets Your Majesty..."
"Fat Tiger greets Your Majesty..."
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty..."
Chu Chen and his entourage received Dong Shilan directly inside the factory.
Seeing the neatly stacked firearms in wooden crates, Dong Shilan couldn't wait to step forward, open one of the crates, and take out a machine gun.
"Chu Chen, is this the weapon used to deal with cavalry?"
“That’s right, Your Majesty. With this in hand, once the equipment and training are completed, the Song Kingdom will no longer be afraid of foreign cavalry.”
"Hahaha, okay, where's my head coach?"
After Dong Shilan finished speaking, Chu Chen pulled Pang Hu out. Looking at Pang Hu's simple and honest appearance, Dong Shilan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
She had previously assumed that the head coach she had personally selected would be a remarkable and outstanding talent, but she never expected him to be a greasy, overweight man.
He had only bestowed the title of Chief Instructor upon Tang Yun after Tang Yun returned and reported back, so he looked at Chu Chen with a puzzled expression.
"Your Majesty, there is no doubt that this is my good brother Fat Tiger, Your Majesty's head instructor."
After saying that, Chu Chen kicked Fatty Tiger with his foot: "Go, give His Majesty a performance."
"Ah... Your Majesty, esteemed officials, please follow me."
After saying that, Fat Tiger led a group of followers, carrying all sorts of weapons, to the shooting range.
When Dong Shilan saw Fat Tiger deftly pick up various weapons and then accurately strike the target, she finally felt relieved.
"Hahaha, Brother Fat Tiger, with you here, our Great Song Dynasty is like a tiger with wings."
"Men, heed my command."
"All weapons should be equipped to the previously selected sharpshooters, and the silver should be settled with Mr. Chu."
After saying that, she turned to Chu Chen and said, "Little brother, leave things to the people below. You come with your sister for a walk."
