Chapter 492

Merton looked complacently at the 50 craftsmen transferred from the Ministry of work, together with Taoist priest Chang Sheng, Mohist Zhang Mu, Bing Jing Si Deng Chong and military Xue Rengui. This was the grass-roots team of the firearms supervisor.

"Cough!" Merton coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention.

"I've seen the sacrificial Lord!"

The crowd bowed.

Even if Merton once stood at the ink technology exhibition and was sought after by thousands of people, his heart beat a little faster. No wonder so many people pursue power. This taste is really addictive.

"As the saying goes, a new official takes office with three fires." Merton shouted.

Dun said that everyone looked pale. Although other officials would make an example when they took office, it was also a tacit thing. Where did they say it in public like Mo Jiazi.

"But don't start a fire when Ben is in office," Merton shouted.

"No ignition?" they looked at each other. They didn't know what Merton meant. Only Taoist priest Changsheng thought.

"From now on, the firearms prison is strictly prohibited from making fire to avoid repeating the mistakes and make the tragedy of the big bang happen again," Merton shouted.

Taoist priest Changsheng nodded with lingering fear. The big explosion caused heavy losses to the Taoist waidan sect.

"What about the night?" Zhang Mu asked. Lights are often used for night work and night school in Mojia village.

"Firearms wardens only work during the day and are closed at night. Lighting is prohibited," Merton explained.

"It's cold in winter, and you can't make a fire to keep warm?" Deng Chong asked.

"It is forbidden to use charcoal pots in winter. At that time, there will be a special Mohist meeting to install heating for you." Merton added.

"What about cooking?" a craftsman asked tremblingly. After all, people need to make a fire to cook,

Everyone nodded together. I'm afraid it can't be avoided this time!

"Firearms imprisonment is not allowed to make fire and cook. All meals must be in the charge of xuandu temple and sent to the firearms prison on time. Of course, the firearms prison will pay for the meal," Merton explained.

The crowd nodded with satisfaction.

With a wave of Merton's hand, Zhang Mu immediately took out a set of ordinary linen clothes on the market and showed them: "this is an open fire. In addition, there are potential fire hazards. No matter who enters the firearms prison, it is forbidden to wear mink fur and fur, and all wear the specially customized linen shoes of the firearms prison."

"No one is allowed to use reading glasses!"

The crowd nodded. At the ink technology exhibition, the story of mojiazi igniting the fire with presbyopia glasses had long been spread all over Chang'an city. Of course, they knew that if presbyopia glasses didn't pay attention, they might cause a fire.

"Ironware will spark everywhere. Unless necessary, try to reduce the use of ironware," Merton thought.

Xue Rengui frowned and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. Hundreds of cavalry officers and soldiers are full of armor and stomach weapons!"

As a soldier, if unarmed, I'm afraid I'm like an unarmed tiger.

Merton thought for a moment and then said, "all the soldiers on horseback are on guard. The soldiers are fully armed. The soldiers on patrol can only leave weapons."

Although it was inappropriate for the soldiers to take off their armour and stomach, after all, Xi Junmai had explained that he listened to Merton's orders, and this condition was barely acceptable.

"Once every ten days, if someone points out a potential fire hazard, he will be rewarded with 100 liang of silver." Merton seduced.

However, few people responded. What they could think of, the Mohist family had thought of, and what they didn't think of, the Mohist family also thought of. It seems that they can't get these hundred Liang silver.

"The fire is not a fuss, but related to your life and my life. I hope this hundred Liang silver will never be used, so you will be safe and carefree in your life." Merton solemnly said.

A group of craftsmen suddenly brightened their eyes. Before that, they were selected to come to the firearms prison, which was a panic. Moreover, with the reconstruction of the firearms prison, they saw the mess everywhere, and they were already nervous and worried. They were afraid that they would end up like this one day. If it weren't for the order of the imperial court, they might have refused to do it.

However, seeing the various fire prevention measures taken by the Mohists, even they could not think of any possibility of fire, and their previous worries had long disappeared,

Seeing that the morale was available, Merton took the opportunity to say, "you are all innocent people elected by the imperial court. What you participate in is related to the grand plan of the imperial court for a hundred years. Naturally, the imperial court will not treat you badly. From now on, your family members will be incorporated into the imperial villa, exempt from all corvee, enjoy the same free medical treatment as the Mojia village, and your salary will be doubled."

"Thank you, mohou!" all the craftsmen immediately said with ecstasy. They were willing to take a huge risk for the fire monitor. Who could have thought that it was such a big fat job that it was like pie falling from the sky.

"Follow Mo Hou, and sure enough, there's a lot of money!" many craftsmen secretly said in their hearts.

In Chang'an City, the reputation of the Mohist school is almost the same as that of the God of wealth. Countless people benefit from it wherever they go. Now it seems that the rumors are true.

"Of course, after receiving the grace of the emperor, you naturally want to be loyal to the monarch. The firearms prison is directly under the jurisdiction of your majesty, and the secret recipe of gunpowder is a secret of the imperial court. You must strictly keep all your secrets in the firearms prison confidential and shall not disclose them to anyone, including your family. If you find the leak, you will be punished as a crime of bullying the monarch!" Merton said sternly.

"The crime of bullying the king!"

All the craftsmen were shocked. It was a great crime to kill their heads and nodded again and again.

"In the future, you can go home and have a family reunion every ten days. If you have something to go out, you must be escorted by a hundred riders to ensure safety. Captain Xue, you are responsible for this." Merton turned to Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui said solemnly, "you must live up to the trust of marquis mo."

The craftsmen were awed, but seeing Merton's various protective measures, they immediately realized how important what they had done.

After Merton explained to the craftsman, he turned and looked at the three eldest sons.

"In the future, the three of you must deliver the raw materials needed by the firearms prison in the middle of the night, but there will be a decree issued by the imperial court to ensure that you can travel freely during the curfew." Merton ordered.

The three nodded solemnly.

"At the same time, the gunpowder made by the firearm supervisor must also be taken away by the hundred horses in the middle of the night. They must be taken to a secret place for preservation." Merton looked at Xue Rengui. The separation of gunpowder production and storage is the best way to prevent accidents.

Xue Rengui nodded. Xi Junmai had already told him about it.

The production of black powder is very simple. What Merton has done is to keep the powder formula as secret as possible. Now the Taoist waidan sect has been caught by Merton. As long as it is kept secret in the powder production formula, Datang will certainly be able to maintain a leading edge in the future heat weapons. In the future, we will certainly be able to avoid the historical tragedy of being held back by the West with guns.

This is the greatest effort Merton can make for future generations, and it is also the greatest responsibility and obligation as a transgressor.

After Merton settled everything, he was satisfied and said in a high voice: "this sacrifice announces that from now on, the firearms prison will be officially established."

With Merton's order, the monsters that shocked the seven continents of later generations were quietly established.
