The recruitment processed by Yi'an will be very unhappy. There are only twenty-eight registrations in two months after the notice is posted. Only nine out of these twenty-eight people have some understanding of firearms, and the others are all taken advantage of by mistake.

Qingshu looked at her angry look and said, "Don't be angry, you are still pregnant. If you are always angry, your child will have a bad temper."

Yi An tried hard to calm down, and then said with annoyance: "Qingshu, those people are really hateful. While spreading rumors that the recruitment would be done by the emperor to make me happy, they also asked these people who were not a little confused to sign up to fool me."

If it weren't for the news, he sent someone to ask, and he would make a joke when he went to the exam.

Qingshu was not surprised and said, "These people don't think that women are in power. But the more they want us to give up, the more we need to do this."

Yi An said with some annoyance: "When they are disturbing this time, I am afraid that this recruitment will not be able to recruit the talents we want."

Qingshu said: "I heard from Jingnen that an official from the manufacturing department had researched on flintlock rifles and artillery, and he might have a breakthrough when he came back."

Yi An said, "The emperor told me about this matter that the man's name is Wen Changdong, an official in the Weapon Manufacturing Department. He was caught by his wife and someone and was furious and killed both of them. After killing the man, he surrendered himself in the yamen."

It was also because of the cause that the government did not sentence him to death and just seized his fame and fortune and sent him to Lingnan to serve labor.

Listening to her speech with regret, Qingshu couldn't help but ask, "Why, is he dead?"

Yi An shook his head and said, "No, he is still alive, but he was injured in his left hand while serving labor. In addition, the news came back that this person was very decadent."

Simply put, Yian has no expectations for this person.

Qingshu thought for a while and said, "Maybe he will cheer up when he returns to the manufacturing department."

"People with disabilities cannot be officials, and those in the Weapon Manufacturing Department will cause trouble and damage. It is very difficult to achieve something in it, but his current state will not be able to do anything."

Qingshu was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you say that the recruited person was separated from the official craftsmen of the manufacturing department? Why did you change your mind again?"

Yi An looked at her and said, "I just want them to do it alone outside, and two or three people can't do anything."

"As long as the leader is capable, they may not be able to achieve results if they work alone."

"Wen Changdong is decadent, and those other people have a shallow understanding of firearms. How could these people achieve success..."

After saying this, Yi An looked at Qingshu and said, "Do you have a candidate?"

Qingshu admired such a keen intuition. She originally wanted to wait until Ye Xiaoyu arrived in Beijing before telling Yi An, but now she saw Yi An so frustrated, so she told her in advance: "I know one, it is recommended by a shopkeeper in my family."

Yi An asked a little suspiciously: "The shopkeeper's recommendation? Is it reliable?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "My shopkeeper is not an ordinary person. He used to be the manager of Huoji Trading Company. Huoji Trading Company, what should you know for?"

Of course Yi An knew it and asked, "What's the difference between the one he recommended?"

Qingshu explained: "The person he recommended is Ye Xiaoyu, who is twenty-two years old this year. This man has been obsessed with various firearms since he was a child. At the age of fourteen, he dismantled his father's flintlock gun into a pile of scrap iron and then reinstalled it. At the age of sixteen, he exploded the house he lived in."

Yi An couldn't help but straighten his body.

Qingshu explained to her: "His father is the most important person in Huo Da family. When he was young, he followed Huo Da family to make a fortune, so he had money to give him Huo Huo. In recent years, the Ye family was not as good as before, so he was driven back to his hometown by his parents."

Yi An asked anxiously: "You mean, he was blown up the house by something he had tinkered with?" "Yes."

Yi An was surprised and happy: "No one taught me to make a spoil. This is absolutely genius! Qingshu, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier? No, I have to send someone to pick him up."

Qingshu held her down and said, "I have sent Jiang Fangfei and Li Qian to Fuzhou to pick him up. If it goes well, you will be able to arrive in Beijing in at most half a month. The reason I don't tell you is that I am afraid that Manager Xiao will disappoint you if he exaggerates it."

"Shopkeeper Xiao does not dare to coax you when he is under your command. It should be true."

Qingshu reminded: "You just need to know about this. Don't talk about it and avoid any further setbacks."

"You are right. If you miss the news, you may not be sure that these people will be careless. Some officials in the court will be careful and do not do anything. Some things are not in line with their wishes and impeachment, and they are both annoyed."

Qingshu said with a deliberately smile: "You can't say that. Most of the officials in the court are still very busy, and only a few of them are taking advantage of the troubled waters."

Yi An snorted coldly and said, "When you find an opportunity in the future, you must clear out these missed days. There are only a few rat shit that ruins the porridge."

Qingshu smiled, looked at her belly and said, "You are almost three months old, so it's time to tell your godmother!"

Yi An's eyes flashed and he said, "Don't worry, it's not too late to talk about it when he finds a suitable opportunity."

"Are you going to tell your godmother and grandmother? I told you that you can still push it to the emperor before three months, but if you keep it hidden, you will definitely get angry."

It’s not that Yi An didn’t want to say it, but she was afraid that her mother would chant: “If my mother knew that I was pregnant, she would definitely force me to take care of her baby in the palace.”

Then, let alone being in charge of the weapons manufacturing department, it will not be easy for the gate of Kunning Palace to leave, so Yi An thought that he could hide it for one day.

Qingshu smiled and said, "You should hide it from me and not stop me, but after the incident, my grandmother and godmother were angry, I won't help you put out the fire."

Yi An took Qingshu's hand and said, "We are good sisters, so good sisters should have good happiness and hardships."

Qingshu didn't let go this time and said, "Yi'an, you have to hide it from it again. When this matter comes out, my godmother will not only be sad but also shameless."

"You didn't tell her more than three months pregnant. What would those people outside think? They would think that you didn't trust the godmother and hid it. Even the daughter didn't believe her. You said how failed she was as a mother."

Yi An was stunned and turned to a smile and said, "Not as serious as you said. My pregnancy is a happy event. She knew that I would get angry without hiding it, but she would definitely not be sad."

"If Yaoyao does this in the future, I will feel very uncomfortable." Qingshu said: "Parents always think about their children, but we children should also think about them more."

Yi An was stunned, and after a while, he said apologetically: "You are right. I can't be so selfish. I will talk to my mother in two days."
