After inspecting the workshops, Tang Feng went to his room in the East Hall.

Now that they had a brand new workshop and the technology, what they lacked was a special craftsman with a skill.

In the recruitment menu of the Super Eunuch System, there were all kinds of craftsmen from all walks of life. As long as you had prestige, you could recruit the craftsmen you wanted.

Tang Feng still had 20,000 Reputation Points, which was enough for him to recruit some craftsmen he wanted.

The Reputation Points required to recruit a craftsman was the same as that of an elite flintlock soldier. It was the standard 20 points.

Iron-casting craftsmen were relatively rare. Tang Feng recruited fifty in one go and then recruited five supervisors who were proficient in this line.

He recruited 20 craftsmen who were proficient in artillery, firearms, and gunpowder.

The hundreds of craftsmen sent by Minister Liu from the Ministry of Works were all highly skilled craftsmen. As long as they had good management and a good salary, their skills would not be inferior to the craftsmen recruited by the system.

Other than that, there was the paper mill.

This was because it was not ordinary paper, but toilet paper that surpassed this era. When this soft paper was manufactured, it would definitely be loved by the rich and powerful.

At that time, he would definitely be able to make a fortune. Therefore, he had to keep it a secret in advance.

It was best not to use outsiders in the paper mill. Instead, it was best to use all the craftsmen recruited by the system.

With a wave of his hand, Tang Feng recruited 60 skilled craftsmen who were proficient in the art of making paper in one go. Then, he recruited a few supervisors.

After settling all these, he specially recruited two officials who were proficient in management. The three of them were fully responsible for managing these workshops.

As for the safety of the workshop, Tang Feng did not hand it over to the barbarians of the East Hall. Instead, he recruited 50 elite barbarians from the system.

After he had recruited all of them, he handed over the four Level 2 Techniques and the Paper Making Technique to the two officials.

In the end, he had used up 8,000 of his 20,000 Reputation Points.

Looking at the remaining 12,000 reputation points, Tang Feng suddenly remembered something else.

It seemed that the system had rewarded two Special Heroes previously. One was the Navy General Shi Lang, and the other was the Red Top Merchant Hu Xueyan.

"System, where are Shi Lang and Hu Xueyan now?”

"Shi Lang's current location is Tianjin, and his official position is Jinggu Navy Vice Commander. Hu Xueyan's current location is the capital, and he is the owner of the Dakang Warehouse.”

Dakang Warehouse!

"Men, investigate the Dakang Warehouse in the capital.”

"It's the factory master."

Not long after, a set of detailed information about Dakang Warehouse was delivered to Tang Feng.

Dakang Warehouse was ranked third among all the warehouses in the capital. However, because it did not have a big background, it had always been bullied by the other two warehouses.

Recently, because he had offended the doctor of the Ministry of War, Man Heng, a batch of valuable goods had been seized. The boss had also been captured by the Southern City Military Department of the Five Cities Military Department and was first imprisoned in the Southern City Military Department's inner prison.

F * ck you, how dare you capture my people?

"To the Southern City Military Department." Tang Feng said coldly.

Tang Feng led dozens of guards, eunuchs, and barbarians out of the East Hall and headed toward the Southern City Military Department.

In the Yongle year of Ming Dynasty, the Military and Horse Command Department was set up. After the capital was set up in Beijing, it was divided into five cities, namely, the Central, East, West, South and North Military and Horse Command Departments, which were the sixth-grade Yamen.

Each of the five city military divisions had a commander, four deputy commanders, and one official. They were in charge of public security, fire control, and tidying up the streets. They were equivalent to the current Beijing City garrison and police station.

At this moment, in the Southern City Military Department, the commander of the Military Department, Zhao Tong, was smiling as he received a man in official robes.

The man in the official uniform was the doctor of the Ministry of War, Man Heng.

"Lord Man, I've already sent people to investigate. Hu Xueyan indeed doesn't have any backing in the capital. Don't worry, I'll make the necessary arrangements and make him obediently hand over the Dakang Warehouse.”Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"Good, good. If this matter succeeds, this official will naturally not lack your benefits.”Man Heng smiled and nodded.

Everyone in the capital knew that of the three warehouses, Ju De Warehouse was the private property of the Man Family.

Over the years, the father and son of the Man family had relied on their methods to annex several small warehouses. Now, the rise of the Dakang Warehouse had attracted the covetous eyes of the father and son of the Man family.

Although Hu Xueyan had a good reputation and was popular among the merchants, the Man family's father and son were both officials in the capital. Now that Hu Xueyan had offended the Man family, there was nothing anyone could do.

Man Heng picked up his teacup and took a sip. His brain was spinning as he thought about how much benefits the annexation of the Dakang Warehouse would bring to his family.

It was said that Hu Xueyan had a rich family background, with assets of no less than a few hundred thousand taels of silver. The Dakang Warehouse had also opened a trade route to the Western Border. Just this trade route alone brought in no less than two to three hundred thousand taels of silver every year.

At the thought of this, a smile appeared on Man Heng's face.

"You can't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not knowing how to appreciate kindness. If you do business in the Ming Dynasty and don't have a backer, then you can only be a fat sheep.

Man Heng muttered in his heart, his smile becoming more and more sinister.

At this moment, a series of crackling sounds came from outside, followed by a series of miserable screams.

"Who the f * ck dares to cause trouble in the Military Department?”Hearing the commotion outside, Zhao Tong was instantly furious.

He rolled up his sleeves and walked out angrily.

However, before he could leave the room, a figure had already walked in from outside.

At this moment, Tang Feng was wearing an ordinary robe. He did not have any pendant that symbolized his status.

"Who are you? How dare you come to my Southern City Military Department to cause trouble?”Zhao Tong glared at Tang Feng and questioned him loudly.

Throughout the entire process, Man Heng sat there and sipped his tea as if nothing had happened. His posture was as if he was waiting to watch the show.

In the capital, attacking the Military Department of the five cities was a major crime. If it wasn't handled properly, one would lose their head.

In his opinion, this man was courting death.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720195:01PM
