Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1536: Seoul Builds Arsenal

"Ah, could it be that His Majesty intends to harm Brother Chen?"

"Brother Chen, don't be afraid. Even His Majesty has to step over our corpses first."

Chu Chen glared at Gou Shengzi with annoyance: "What are you thinking about? Hurry up and prepare the carriages. We'll all be taking carriages back this time."

Gou Shengzi was completely baffled, but he didn't press the matter further and led the others to arrange for carriages and horses.

Before long, the four carriages sped off towards Seoul.

Chu Chen lay weakly in the carriage, muttering under his breath, "Damn it, as expected, thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, and fifty can suck up the earth from the ground."

As the carriage swayed and rocked, Chu Chen slowly drifted off to sleep.

Everyone traveled a long and tiring journey, and soon returned to Seoul.

Chu Chen had just returned to the house when Lu Yiping followed him in.

"Brother Chen, you're back."

"Damn, you've been following me, haven't you? How come you're here as soon as I get back?"

"Hehe, Brother Chen, it was just that the soldier at the city gate saw you come back and ran back to tell me. I came right away. It's so good to see you back safe and sound."

"You have no idea, the moment you left, Mei Du took his men and left Seoul, making people worry for a long time."

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, and then, in front of all the servants, he pulled her into his arms.

"Don't worry, once we get to the capital, the Mei family will no longer exist."

"Ah, Brother Chen killed them all?"

"Hehe, I don't kill people. It was His Majesty who had the Mei family executed for treason."

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yiping looked at Chu Chen in disbelief, and then clung to him.

"Brother Chen, come on, let's go inside, I'll explain it to you properly."

Chu Chen smiled helplessly after hearing this, and then led Lu Yiping into the room.

Half an hour later, Chu Chen taught Lu Yiping another special skill: eating intestines.

After a day and a night, Chu Chen sent Lu Yiping back to the city lord's mansion, and then took Pang Hu, Gou Shengzi and the others directly towards the house in the suburbs.

Looking at the land next to the house, Chu Chen asked, "Fat Tiger, whose land is this? Find a way to buy it."

"Hehe, I bought it a long time ago."

Fat Tiger looked at Chu Chen with a silly grin and said.

Chu Chen's eyes lit up after hearing this, thinking to himself that even though Fatty Tiger seemed like a fool, he actually had his moments of intelligence.

“Brother Chen, I know that the things you make are useful, and you will inevitably need land in the future, so I took the liberty of buying them all.”

“From here to the other side of the mountain, a full 500 acres of land belong to us.”

Chu Chen stepped forward and patted Fatty Tiger on the shoulder: "Well done, you are worthy of being my brother. Keep up the good work, and you will definitely become the richest man in Song Kingdom."

"Brother Chen is joking. I can't be richer than you."

"Alright, true wealth is when everyone is prosperous. Now, go and do one more thing for me: make good use of these 500 acres of land."

"Tell me, Brother Chen, what should we plant?"

“Plant? No, you need to build me a 500-acre factory specifically for manufacturing weapons.”

"Next, Niu Zi will be in the sugar business in the south. You should also hand over your liquor business to him. Find a few trustworthy confidants and teach them how to do it."

"And you, I have a place in my esteem."

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen led Fatty Tiger and his group into the suburban house, where they began to plan the arsenal with Tito and the others.

Tito, along with his two sons, continued to manufacture weapons, but he did not allow them to do the actual work themselves.

Instead, they taught people, recruited a large number of workers, and taught them how to make parts.

Fat Tiger was in charge of gunpowder manufacturing, but it was better to leave the most crucial parts to his own people.

What is an assembly line?

After Chu Chen finished speaking, Tito asked in confusion.

"The assembly line is very simple. One person is responsible for making one part. One part fits into another part, and finally, a complete thing is formed."

After Chu Chen patiently explained it to them, everyone suddenly understood.

"Haha, Brother Chen, this way no one can steal our weapon-making methods."

Fat Tiger was the first to react and immediately saw the benefits of Liu Shuixian.

“That’s right. If we’re safe, then the entire Song Kingdom will be safe.”

These people weren't stupid. After hearing Chu Chen's words, they all understood that these weapons were made to be used by the soldiers of the Song Kingdom.

Therefore, in order to ensure that this information is not learned by others, this method can be used to greatly reduce the risk of leakage.

"Alright. Go and find your own people. I can provide food, lodging, and wages, but the people you find must be loyal. You all know how formidable they are, so if you find any disloyal individuals, execute them in public."

Under Chu Chen's arrangement, Fat Tiger and Tito all got to work.

That means finding someone to build the factory and finding people to produce the goods.

Three days later, Chu Chen was idly playing with Yi Ping in the house, while the capital was bustling with activity.

The reason was simply that the Mei family, the Minister of Revenue, had betrayed the country and was executed along with the entire family by His Majesty.

Who wouldn't want to see such a spectacle? Even people from surrounding cities rushed into the capital after hearing the news, eager to witness this rare and magnificent event.

At noon, amidst the clamor of the crowd, more than a hundred heads were chopped off, causing onlookers to cover the eyes of their children.

The Mei family did not have a good reputation in the capital, so amidst cheers, everything settled down, and the Mei family was wiped out from the Song Kingdom.

But just as everyone was cheering, outside the capital, a dilapidated oxcart covered with thick straw drove directly into a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

As the oxcart entered the courtyard, a figure suddenly darted out from the straw.

His face was deathly pale, as if he had suffered a serious injury and had not yet recovered, but his eyes were filled with intense hatred.

He followed the driver into the house without saying a word.

Then he knelt down in front of a tall, middle-aged man sitting in the head seat.

"Sir, the person has been brought to you."

After bowing to the man in the head seat, the driver turned and left the room, driving the oxcart forward as if he had merely gone into the house to have a drink of water and rest for a while.

In the dimly lit room, the man at the head of the table scrutinized the young man kneeling before him.

After a long silence, he smiled and asked, "Are you really sure? You need to know that once you join us, everything from the past will disappear, and you will be a new you. You are not allowed to talk about or mention anything from before."

The man didn't speak, but instead kowtowed deeply to the person in front of him.
