Chapter 109: Imperial Craftsmen, the Nation’s Most Important Treasures

Equipment Refining Department.

Military stronghold.

The perimeter is tightly guarded.

Not in the capital city.

But in the Canglong Mountains.

This time, Chu Feng left the capital city and went to the Equipment Refining Department.

In the Equipment Refining Department, waves of fire were boiling, and there were cauldrons and furnaces that were refining equipment with the stable power of earth fire.

When deciding on the capital, Emperor Taizu inspected many places, such as Ningzhou and Qinzhou, which were all under consideration.

It was finally placed in the Canglong Mountains.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The sound of weapons being forged can be heard everywhere.

The faces of the craftsmen were all red from the burning flames.

The Samsara Pool was built by them.

The Equipment Refining Department is extremely important to Daxia.

When soldiers go out to fight, they need to have their armor, weapons, cannons and other equipment made by the Forging Department.

Moreover, there are so many Daxia troops and the task is heavy.

The Equipment Refining Department is divided into two parts.

One is the place for forging.

The second is the most important research institute, which mainly studies the drawings and forging processes of various equipment.

You know, the Daxia Legion needs to be tailored for each legion according to their differences.

The workload is very large.

"His Majesty is here!"

Chu Feng is ready to go.

The accompanying eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.

"Your Majesty is here!"

"Hurry up and welcome the Holy Emperor!"

"Your Majesty actually came to our Equipment Refining Department this time!"

"Go see His Majesty immediately, without delay!"

All the craftsmen looked serious and hurried to the square outside to welcome them.

"Your servant Ling Xuzi leads the Equipment Refining Department to welcome the Holy Emperor and pay homage to him!"

The Holy Chariot has arrived.

A strong and capable old man did not dare to be careless and hurried out to kneel and greet him respectfully.

The head of the Equipment Refining Department.

A strong person in the Tongtian realm.

He is also the strongest in the art of refining weapons in Da Xia.

Many of the equipment were set up and built by him personally.

Many of the celestial artifacts of the Tongtian Realm were also created under his leadership.

He also trained a large number of outstanding weapon refiners for Daxia, including many craftsmen at the Tongtian realm, which is admirable.

Without Ling Xuzi's efforts, Da Xia would not be so strong in weapon refining.

"Be flat."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm here just to take a look."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ling Xuzi led his men to stand up.

"You are Ling Xuzi. I know you. Taizu praised you many times. Ling Xuzi alone can defeat millions of soldiers. The Weapon Refining Department is very good. I am very pleased."

Chu Feng looked at Ling Xuzi.

Ling Xuzi is almost four hundred years old.

An old minister of Daxia.

"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. Speaking of Taizu, Taizu is my benefactor. Without Taizu, my lineage would have been extinct long ago, and it would be even more impossible to achieve the achievements I have today!"

Ling Xuzi was extremely respectful to Taizu.

The world was in chaos that year.

The lineage of Lingxuzi lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests and did not want to contribute to the Hu tribe.

It was Taizu who saved his lineage. While preserving the inheritance, he let him lead the Equipment Refining Department and gave him countless resources so that he could study forging with peace of mind.

Chu Feng nodded.

Ling Xuzi's lineage has a long history, dating back tens of thousands of years.

It is rumored that the ancestor of his lineage followed a person in the Samsara Realm who was proficient in refining equipment.

There is an extremely complete method of refining equipment.

As a sign of his loyalty, he naturally brought these weapon refining techniques with him.

Chu Feng naturally cared about this Equipment Refining Department.

There are many people in the weapon refining department in the capital, and there are millions of craftsmen.

But these are only the blacksmiths in the capital.

There are branches in every province throughout Daxia.

The total number of all the craftsmen is terrifying.

This is the heritage of a country.

It is also the treasure of the empire.

"If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. When a large army goes on a campaign, equipment is of utmost importance. Although the Equipment Refining Department is in the rear, it is extremely important in my eyes. Although it is not as dazzling as the soldiers on the front line, in my eyes, without the efforts of all the craftsmen in the Equipment Refining Department, the soldiers on the front line would find it difficult to achieve brilliant results and would also pay a greater price in casualties. You also protect the soldiers on the front line, making my Great Xia invincible. You are behind the scenes, but you are also heroes of Great Xia."

Chu Feng said to all the craftsmen.

Hearing your majesty's praise.

All the craftsmen were excited.

Indeed, behind the scenes, their contributions are often overlooked.

His Majesty personally came to the Equipment Refining Department and said these words as a recognition of their efforts.

Moreover, the word "hero" means glory.

"His Majesty!"

Ling Xuzi also said excitedly.

Chu Feng waved his hand: "There are weapon refiners in the capital and thirty-six states. A large number of craftsmen ensure the combat effectiveness of the Daxia Army. You are also meritorious people. I will not be stingy with rewards."

He wanted to reward the craftsmen in the Equipment Refining Department to inspire their pride.

"On behalf of everyone in the Equipment Refining Division, I thank your Majesty!"

Ling Xuzi knelt down.

Yes, they are also heroes of Daxia.

This is enough to make pride hold its head high.

"Ling Xuzi, take me to see the Equipment Refining Department."

Chu Feng smiled.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Ling Xuzi led the way.

"Ling Xuzi, although Daxia's main target is not in the East China Sea, the East China Sea is the most important place. Fighting at sea is different from fighting on land. A lot of warships are needed."

Chu Feng said.

"Your Majesty, I have been researching a new warship recently and have made some small progress. Please take a look." Ling Xuzi was very proud when talking about refining equipment.

Come to the warship.

Chu Feng saw it immediately.

An enormous warship, covered in steel, equipped with numerous huge cannons, and on the hull, there are sharp weapons like teeth.

Chu Feng felt that this was a steel behemoth and a fortress on the sea.

"This warship is extremely sturdy, engraved with defensive formations, and can withstand sea storms. Even with a powerful blow, it cannot be directly sunk. It is also equipped with many offensive equipment that can directly destroy enemy warships remotely or by ramming them!"

Ling Xuzi said proudly.

"Very good, very impressive, a sea fortress."

Chu Feng said with satisfaction: "I need to build a large number of them."

"Your Majesty, warships are different from other equipment. They require too many resources and manpower. Of course, I also took this into consideration when I was researching. They are divided into multiple levels so that they can be mass-produced."

Ling Xuzi said.

"It doesn't matter. What I want is the result. I will give you as many resources as you want. I will also give you as many people as you want. Now the focus of the Equipment Refining Department should be on forging warships!"

Chu Feng said.

One of the purposes of his coming to the Equipment Refining Department was to see the warships.

You know, although the strong can fly and hide in the ground, the ocean is vast and there are endless storms. If you rely solely on your own strength, you will consume a lot of magic power.

It’s okay for the strong ones, but it’s not okay for the soldiers who are in larger numbers.

Chu Feng knew that on the sea, the various sects had defensive formations, so they had to use warships to clear the way and ensure that the soldiers were in the best condition.

Although, a war of extinction will not be launched against the East China Sea in the short term.

But building a warship takes time, so we have to prepare it now.

"I know."

Ling Xuzi nodded, knowing His Majesty's purpose, and continued: "The warship blueprints have been preliminarily completed, and will soon be sent to the East China Sea Shipyard for mass production. With the warships I have researched and the experience left by my ancestors, they will be upgraded and renovated, and will be enough to destroy the warships of the various sects at sea in large-scale battles!"

"The Equipment Refining Department will have to work hard during this period. I will treat everyone equally for their contributions."

Chu Feng said.

Chu Feng plans to improve the treatment of these craftsmen.

"For Daxia, this is what I should do. I also hope that Daxia's brave soldiers can control the warships I built, rush out of the East China Sea, and go to the world outside Daxia!"

Ling Xuzi looked fanatical: "During this period of time, I have also been building a strongest main ship, comparable to a heavenly-level magic weapon!"

The strongest main ship, heavenly grade magic weapon!

Although Daxia has no shortage of celestial weapons, this is a huge deal.

How many resources and how much cost does it take to build a celestial-level ship?

"I am waiting for your results!"

Chu Feng said.

If it comes to the final battle with the East China Sea, we must give it our all.

Continue watching in the Equipment Refining Department.

Chu Feng did not interfere too much.

Leave professional matters to professionals like Ling Xuzi.

He just put forward some ideas of his own and asked Ling Xuzi to complete them.

Chu Feng spent a long time in the Equipment Refining Department, and was extremely satisfied with the various equipment and perfect crafting methods.

Chu Feng returned to the palace only after the observation.

"This is the emperor, ruling the world!"

Chu Feng has been the emperor for several years and can increasingly feel the power of holding power.

He went to the Equipment Refining Department to encourage them, wrote an imperial edict to improve the treatment of craftsmen, and put Lu Ming in charge.

In the coming years, the Equipment Refining Department will have important tasks, and all the craftsmen will be unable to carry them. It will be very tiring to forge equipment and prepare for the unification of the world.

Let people work and pay them accordingly.

Although Da Xia has a Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry and the Equipment Refining Bureau actually have different management focuses.

Both are responsible for split management.

For example, the Ministry of Industry is more responsible for people's livelihood.

The Equipment Refining Department serves mainly the military.

Of course, sometimes we cooperate.

This was also decided by Taizu to prevent the Ministry of Works from becoming too powerful and too bloated.

"If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. While preparing for the Western Expedition, we must also prepare for Nanling and Donghai. Duke Ling, Duke Mu, and Duke Yang have been in the three regions for many years and are more familiar with the situation. We can summon them back to the capital to learn about the specific situation."

Chu Feng wrote an edict to ask the three dukes to come back.

Their defense was temporarily handed over to other generals.

Having received the order from His Majesty, the three dukes set out without delay.

And they haven't returned to the capital for a long time.

Outside the palace gate.

Three dukes arrived one after another.

"Duke Mu!"

Ling Chengtian looked at a middle-aged man and laughed.

"Duke Ling, I dare not put on airs in front of you. You are still my elder!"

Mu Chuan smiled and felt excited.

Although I came back last time, it was because of the Samsara Pond.

However, at that time, His Majesty was in seclusion to attack Tongtian, so he did not see it.

The same situation applies to the other two dukes.

His Majesty is in seclusion, and they are coming back in batches.

He was unable to return when the crown prince died and when Taizu passed away.

"Duke Yang is here too. Let's go and see His Majesty together."

Ling Cheng Tian Dao.

He hasn't seen the current emperor for a long time, and only saw him a few times when Chu Feng was a child.

"Then go see His Majesty."

Yang Yun said.

Your Majesty saves the world.

He reversed the chaotic situation of Daxia and made the pioneering move of exterminating all the Hu people.

Although the emperor is young, he is very capable.

"Three Dukes, His Majesty has been informed of the Duke's arrival and has specially asked the three Dukes to go to the Military and Political Palace."

A young eunuch came to greet him.

"Let's go, His Majesty is waiting for us!"

They headed to the Military and Political Palace.

"I see your Majesty!"

When the three dukes saw Chu Feng, they immediately saluted.

They didn't dare to treat Chu Feng as a junior.

"My three dukes, you have worked hard on this trip. Please sit down. I asked you to come here this time because I want to learn more about the defense of the three realms and discuss the upcoming war with you."

Chu Feng smiled.

Someone arranged seats and brought tea.

　More than words have arrived in the third update. Please vote for me!
