Chapter Seventy-Six: Strange Things
The speed at which the three hundred carpenters integrated into the team was a little slower than Li Yuanjia expected.
It took three whole days, not to mention starting to make the dump with the "old masters", and most of the new carpenters didn't even learn how to use the new tools they were given......
Anyway, after listening to Chen Mu's return, Li Yuanjia suddenly narrowed his eyes: "What? Are you sure they can't even learn those simple tools? ”
"Goo-dong...... Yes, Great King. ”
After swallowing a mouthful of spit with difficulty, Chen Mu hurriedly bent down and answered in a dull tone.
"Huh."
With a sneer, Li Yuanjia didn't pay attention to this guy anymore, but looked directly at Wang Pu next to him: "Come on, what the hell is going on?!" It's been three days, and it's just a bunch of ...... Hum! ”
Although he took back the words that he almost blurted out, Li Yuanjia's anger came up all of a sudden.
From the very beginning, he didn't dare to overestimate the learning ability of these carpenters, after all, you can't be clever enough to become an apprentice carpenter...... In fact, it is impossible for any family with some methods to let their children become carpenters, and the status of farming is higher than theirs.
And in addition to new tools such as frame saws and planers, there are also more "complicated" things such as rulers and protractors, so Li Yuanjia will leave them a full three days. But in his heart, he has always felt that half a day is enough to be clever, even if he is old and his brain is not very good, how can he touch the door in two days, right?
But now it turns out that three days is not enough?
To be honest, this can't help but make people wonder if there's something wrong with it.
Under Li Yuanjia's scorching gaze, Wang Pu also swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "Great King, some of them are indeed a little sluggish, but it can't be said that all of them are like this, at least more than a hundred people are still very honest. ”
"More than a hundred people are honest? And what about the other hundred or so? ”
"Back to the king's words, more than a hundred other people seem to be deliberately pretending to be stupid."
After gritting his teeth secretly, Wang Pu's voice became firm: "I don't know what the reason is, it's just ...... Ahem, they may be dissatisfied with Chen Mu. ”
"The King forgives sins!"
After listening to Wang Pu's words, Chen Mu's heart trembled and he hurriedly fell to the ground.
After lying on the ground, I panicked to death.
Of course, he knew that what Wang Pu said was true, and those guys were really dissatisfied with themselves, so they would be passive and slack off when studying...... It was precisely because he understood this and knew very well that the king attached great importance to this matter, that Chen Mu was naturally worried in his heart.
"Alright, get me up."
Glancing at Chen Mu, Li Yuanjia frowned a little annoyed, and sneered: "Hehe, are you dissatisfied with Chen Mu?" I think it's from His Majesty, and I think I'm a character in size, so I don't accept Chen Mu, right? ”
“…… Be. ”
At the same time as he lowered his head, the corners of Wang Pu's mouth curved a small arc.
It was only after guessing the king's reaction that he said that.
"Looks like they don't understand, hehe."
Just when Wang Pu was holding his breath, he heard Li Yuanjia suddenly speak: "Chen Mu, you go down to rest first, you don't have to go there today." Wang Pu, you go and take the one in charge of these carpenters and handymen...... Well, it's that official anyway, call me to this king......"
……
"Mr. Wang, this is ...... King"
"Okay, you can rest assured."
Seeing that Chen Mu still looked worried, Wang Pu smiled slightly and said indifferently: "If the king doesn't know, it's fine, since he knows, it is impossible for them to jump up again...... Hehe, what stupidity! I really thought that they were in the palace now, and no one could care? ”
Listening to Wang Pu's words, Chen Mu's heart suddenly rejoiced: "Mr. Wang, what do you mean ......?"
didn't explain to Chen Mu in detail, Wang Pu just glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Hehe, they will naturally be honest tomorrow." But you have a lot of responsibility on your side, and don't get carried away just because the king beats them! Doing your own thing is all about it, you know? ”
"Understood, thank you Mr. Wang for the mention."
"Alright, I'll go first."
"Yes, sir."
Seeing Wang Pu go to the official who led the team this time, Chen Mu stood in place and was stunned for a moment, and then slowly exhaled a mouthful of stuffy breath in his chest.
For two or three days, he was depressed.
Although he is the carpenter leader in King Han's mansion, Chen Mu is also a person, but in front of those old guys sent by His Majesty, Chen Mu really suffered a lot. He was not a fool, and naturally knew that ordinary carpenters might not dare, but those old guys were not afraid of anything, and naturally they were extremely dissatisfied with him, a young man.
Those who have been passive and slacking off in the past two days are basically their disciples and grandchildren.
It's just a pity that they picked the wrong place.
If he was in the palace, Chen Mu would not even dare to talk to Li Yuanjia about this matter. But now that they have been sent by His Majesty to the dumping workshop outside the city, Wang Pu and Chen Mu are still men if they don't clean them up?
In front of the king, they are a fart!
After his gaze flickered a few times, Chen Mu took a deep breath and walked straight to his hut. Although he was still angry, after listening to Mr. Wang's words just now, he also knew that he had to be careful in the coming days, and he must not deliberately retaliate against those old guys because of anger.
Therefore, it would be a great sin to delay the king's affairs.
While pondering, Chen Mu walked back to the small courtyard where he lived, and then saw two carpenters who were busy at a glance. After a casual glance, Chen Mu's curiosity suddenly rose, and he walked over and asked, "Two, what are you doing?" ”
"Huh? It's Chen Mu. ”
The two of them are very familiar with Chen Mu, so naturally they don't need to be too polite, and said with a smile: "It's something that the king asked us to make, more than a dozen little wooden people, dozens of small houses, and some strange things." ”
"Little wooden people and small houses? What is it used for? ”
After listening to the words of the two, Chen Mu was stunned for a moment.
"Haha, how do we know this?"
After laughing, a carpenter said, "Especially for these small houses, the king also asked us to make three sets of them, one for one, two for two, and three for each other...... And those strange things, we don't know what to do with them, so we can only do them according to the way the king drew them. ”
Curiosity sparked, Chen Mu picked up the paper patterns and looked at them a few times, with a confused expression.
He couldn't read it either.
However, after coming back to his senses, Chen Mu immediately put down the paper and said in a deep voice: "The king asked you to make these things, naturally he has his intentions, you do it well, and you must not slack off......
