Chapter 11 Buying a Job
This time it may be that he wants to live in Gucheng County permanently, so in addition to large households, Zhang Xianzhong, a low-level citizen, did not concoct it, and ordered not to be harassed.
Although all the shops in the city are closed, there are still some small merchants and hawkers, not to mention blacksmith shops.
However, all the blacksmiths were busy making weapons for the battalions, and the firearms battalion, which was the least valued, naturally came last.
Qin Yu came to a blacksmith shop in the west of the city, and saw an old man in his fifties and sixties, with two apprentices of fifteen or sixteen, banging non-stop.
"Master Liu, how are you busy?"
"It's the leader of Xiao Qin, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for two more days."
Seeing Qin Yu coming, the old man stopped what he was doing and said with a wry smile.
"Two more days to wait?"
"Master Liu, do you think you can work overtime at night? I can pay you the money. ”
"Leader Xiao Qin, it's not a matter of silver, but the three of us master and apprentice are really too busy, why don't you go to other blacksmith shops to have a look?"
Although the old man was a little moved, he still shook his head, they gave these weapons to the rebels, not only did they have to do it in vain, but if they couldn't complete it on time, they would be killed.
"It's okay, then I'll wait two more days!" Qin Yu waved his hand, obviously not wanting to embarrass the three masters and apprentices.
The reason why he didn't go anywhere else was because he had observed for a long time, and this old man had the best craftsmanship.
The gun head he wants to hit is not an ordinary gun head, but a triangular shape, and the technical requirements are still very high.
"That's good, as soon as the old man completes the task assigned by the king, he will help the leader of Xiao Qin build it." The old man said with a smile, his impression of Qin Yu was still good.
"Well, then you guys are busy, don't worry, I won't let you fight in vain, no matter what you want food and silver." Qin Yu hugged his fist.
"Then thank you to Leader Xiao Qin." The old man also hurriedly hugged his fists in return.
After Qin Yu turned to leave, the old man touched his beard, looked at his back, and nodded secretly.
"Master, this kid is still kind-hearted, he knows how to give money, hmph, like other people, not only don't give money, but also scold at every turn."
"I still beat people, I was stabbed in the back the day before yesterday, and I got angry when I thought about it, it sounds like a righteous army, but it's actually worse than bandits."
"Shut up, how many times have I told you, disaster comes from the mouth, disaster comes from the mouth, why don't you have a long memory?" The old man had a blank face, and reprimanded the two apprentices who were not angry.
The two apprentices were scolded, so they had to hang their heads and hit again.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Qin Yu did not rush back, but came to a courtyard not far away.
"Yikes! The leader of Xiao Qin is here! ”
"Hello Leader Xiao Qin, the clothes and shoes are ready, can you see what we did right?"
As soon as he entered the door, dozens of aunts and aunts surrounded him, staring at Qin Yu expectantly.
"Hmm!"
Qin Yu took the clothes and shoes they had sewn, examined them carefully, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
The last time he got three pieces of cloth, he thought about making a set of uniforms for each of his subordinates, but the cloth was not enough, and he deliberately took the money to buy a batch in the back camp.
The uniform is a typical Ming Dynasty tight-fitting short shirt, and now the weather is hot, in addition to the long-sleeved tunic and trousers, there is also a boxer panties he designed, and leggings made of two strips of cloth, and the shoes are cloth shoes.
In order to get all these equipment, he divided more than a hundred taels of silver, and there was not much left.
The remaining more than ten taels are the wages prepared for these aunts and aunts in the back camp and blacksmith Liu.
"Yes, yes, aunts have worked hard these days, and each person is paid a penny of silver."
"Shhh
More than 20 women suddenly let out a sound of inhalation, originally they thought that Qin Yu could give a dozen copper plates or one or two catties of grain, and they would already burn high incense.
Even if Qin Yu didn't give it to them, there was no way, and he couldn't refuse to do it.
"That, Leader Xiao Qin, do you really give us a penny?" A woman in her forties asked in a whisper.
The others also stared at Qin Yu nervously.
"Of course it's true, you work for me, I pay your wages, it's right."
As he spoke, Qin Yu took out a silver ingot, which looked almost five taels, and asked them to divide it by themselves.
More than two dozen women immediately brought scissors and small scales and began to distribute the fruits of their labor.
Qin Yu asked two of his subordinates to pack their clothes and shoes and take them away.
When they returned to the camp, the boys saw that although the leader did not bring back weapons, he picked up four large baskets of clothes and shoes, and surrounded them one by one.
A hundred teenagers, in better condition, can have a set of tattered clothes and pants, and the miserable ones are only one pair of pants.
And there are a lot of barefoot people who beat them, and this is the last time they beat bandits, they stripped off a lot of clothes from dead people, otherwise it would only be more ugly.
"Don't squeeze it, everyone has a set of military uniforms and shoes, all of them have it, and stand in order of height."
With Qin Yu's order given, a hundred teenagers quickly lined up in four teams.
The tallest one is only 1.6 meters, and the shortest one is 1.4 meters, which is obviously carefully selected.
Qin Yu sent down the clothes and shoes one by one, and then waved his hand and said, "Give you a stick of incense time, go take a bath, change your clothes, and come here to gather." ”
"Yes! Xie Chief. ”
A group of teenagers were happily holding their clothes and rushing towards the well in the front yard, some of them were so big that they were wearing new clothes for the first time, and they wept secretly with excitement.
on the playground.
A hundred teenagers changed into brand-new blue military uniforms, stepped on their shoes, and stood straight one by one, and their faces suddenly took on a new look.
Qin Yu nodded, these people are the capital that will make his fortune in the future, and it is not too much to be nice to them now.
"Each of you will come up and get two more leggings..."
Qin Yu actually didn't know how to tie it, so it took a long time to find a way to tie it up.
At this time, there were already many heroes outside the camp to watch the excitement, and when they found that these teenagers were wearing exactly the same and brand new clothes and shoes, they drooled with envy.
"This little Qin leader is really fucking generous, he is willing to make new clothes for these little cubs, tsk..."
"That's a piece of, I've heard that they eat three meals a day, and they do it all at once, and they're full."
"Shhh
"It can't be, right?"
The crowd let out a gasp, and then a big man questioned, "No! Let go of eating? You won't be hungry and stupid! ”
"Humph! What Lao Tzu saw with his own eyes, can it still be fake? If it weren't for the fact that the leader of Xiao Qin didn't recruit people, Lao Tzu would have joined the firearms battalion a long time ago. ”
After hearing this, the others were all very moved, compared to the leaders of the other battalions, Commander Qin was really good to his subordinates, and he was valued by the king, and the future was simply limitless.
"What are you doing here? Get lost! ”
With a loud shout, everyone quickly scattered and fled, and saw Sun Kewang striding with people.
