Wugang Town is not a big town, Shi Yong easily found the Tang Kee blacksmith shop, although it was still a little cold in early spring, but the man who struck iron inside was still naked, revealing his strong muscles.

Shi Yong saw the man, his face was black and red, because he often struck iron, his upper body was splashed with scattered iron filings, so that his whole body was covered with small scars, and the spots were good-looking, worthy of the name "money leopard".

Seeing someone coming in, the man put down the work in his hand and said, "Big brother wants to play with utensils, or do you want finished products?" ”

"Just take a look!"

Shi Yong said a perfunctory sentence, and began to browse the finished utensils in the room at random, it seems that the business is not very good, and there are not many finished products.

Seeing that it wasn't business that came to the door, the man began to work again. Shi Yong saw an eight-edged hammer on the wall, and estimated that it was expensive, so he wanted to use it to play with two.

"Don't move, be careful of falling and hitting your own foot."

The man said contemptuously: "That weapon weighs more than 30 pounds, can you dance?" ”

"Look down on people, don't you? Then I'll show you. ”

Shi Yong grabbed the hammer and danced, the hammer dribbled in his hand, dancing easily and beautifully. After dancing for a while, he put down the hammer, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

Seeing this, the man arched his hand and said: "My brother is so strong, and he is brilliant with his hammer method, just like Li Yuanba descending to earth, and like Pei Yuanqing being reborn, it really makes the heroes of the world ashamed." This high-quality hammer carved by the younger brother is tailor-made for the honorable driver. Seeing each other today is fate, the sword is given to the hero, the pink is sent to the beauty, this hammer will be sold cheaply to the brother, and there will be a famous hammer hero on the rivers and lakes in the future......"

Shi Yong was not interested in the flattering sales pitch of the blacksmith Tang, he put down the hammer and said, "You are not small, aren't you small? How dare you build weapons privately? is still blatantly selling and selling, not afraid that I will report to the official and arrest you and go to jail? ”

The blacksmith did not have the slightest timidity, nor was he annoyed by the failure of the sales pitch, and said calmly: "Brother said that he was laughing! This hammer is also used to smash hard objects in the shop, not a knife or a gun, it can be regarded as a weapon, isn't it a delay in reporting to the officer? ”

Shi Yong saw that the stout blacksmith was playing with a slippery head, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he was a little flattering when he promoted the products, and he seemed to be not an upright person. can't help but doubt his personality, and then wonder if he is a charlatan, and his superb skills are also a gimmick used to fool people.

But since Brother Song said that he was a master of weapons, he should be convinced, but it is better to be careful, he first tried how many catties and taels the blacksmith has, so he arched his hand and said: "Money leopard, please bear with me, under the order of my brother, I came to negotiate a big business with you, I was afraid that your excellency would not be able to take it, so I made a temptation." ”

As soon as Tang Long heard about the big business, he said: "In the ancestral handicraft, everything is alive in the hands, as long as the elder brother says the name, characteristics or takes out the drawings, it is not me to blow, and it is a piece of cake to build utensils!" ”

Shi Yong asked in a low voice, "Will the weapon be built?" ”

"Don't hide it from my brother, he is in charge of Xingguofang in Bianliang, and is responsible for building all kinds of armor, weapons, and strong bows and crossbows. If you build a weapon, you've found an expert......"

After rushing for a long time, Tang Long suddenly woke up, lowered his face and asked: "Privately making weapons is a serious crime, and building weapons in large quantities is a capital crime of beheading, isn't Your Excellency here to entertain me?" ”

Shi Yong saw that Tang Long was annoyed, so he smiled and said, "The head of Xingguofang in the capital? It sounds like a scary title, and it's not bad to think about it, but how can you have a good iron job and come to this remote place to make a living by striking iron? Isn't it that he is not good at learning and art, and he went to Xingguofang to fill up the number indiscriminately and was driven out? ”

Tang Long heard the words and said angrily: "You look at people in the cracks of the door, don't you know that people can't look good, and the sea can't fight!" I think that I Tang Long was the first manager of Xingguofang back then, and all kinds of armor, shields, and crossbows were not the drawings I designed, and the famous Tang manager in the capital, you actually despised it! ”

Saying that, he suddenly sighed and said: "It's a pity that the traitor is in charge, and he offended another chief who has the protection of Gao Yu, and the first chief manager of my hall was demoted one after another, and finally delegated to the blacksmith who made weapons. In this way, I am willing to contribute to the country, and this burn is a testimony, and the title of the money leopard comes from that time. Who knows that this guy is still not dead and wants to kill me. I can't afford to provoke it, so I can only hide, and in desperation, I can only flee to a foreign country and fall into this place to make ends meet. Ay! This is really a tiger falling Pingchuan being bullied by dogs, and the landing phoenix is not as good as a chicken, my Tang Longsheng is not at the right time! ”

After finishing speaking, Tang Long had no anger, and there was only endless loss and regret.

"Xiao Ke is abrupt, this will make amends to Mr. Tang!"

Shi Yong took a deep breath and said: "I can't imagine that the imperial court will destroy the Great Wall by itself, and the famous weapons experts will also be persecuted here, and there is no place for it." However, Xiao Ke came here on the orders of his brother to invite Mr. Tang to go out of the mountain, give Mr. Tang a chance to show his talents, and make a life of wealth! ”

"Who is your brother?"

Shi Yong whispered to him: "Brother Song Jiang and Song Gongming of Shandong. ”

Tang Long hurriedly asked: "Isn't it the timely rain in Yuncheng?" ”

"If it's not him, who is still so famous."

Shi Yong said: "Brother Song Gongming wants to build a big factory, and he wants to invite you to sit in the town, are you willing?" ”

"I'll pack up my things and go with you, I'll be idle here." After Tang Long finished speaking, he was ready to pack his things.

Shi Yong said: "Don't worry, let's leave tomorrow, I will invite you to drink today, and by the way, I will tell you Brother Song Jiang's plans." Oh...... I forgot to tell you that my name is Shi Yong. ”

Zheng Tianshou is the busiest person on Qingfeng Mountain recently, building a house has always been the most financial, material and manpower-consuming, tired is one thing, the key is that there are too many trivial things. However, no matter how hard and tired you are, you have to grit your teeth and persevere, otherwise Brother Song Jiang will look down on himself, so the more tired Zheng Tianshou is, the more energetic he is, and the more energetic he is, the more tired he is.

Fortunately, Blacksmith Wang found a number of craftsmen a few days ago, and there are craftsmen to plan, and all kinds of processes do not need to be done by themselves, they only need to send people to buy what they need, inspect and supervise the construction site on the construction site.

Wang Ying also completed the reorganization of the army, and now Qingfeng Mountain has a total of more than 1,500 troops, and according to Song Jiang's method, three battalions have been reorganized, which happens to be one regiment, plus a reconnaissance platoon, and two cavalry companies.

Now Song Jiang is the boss of Qingfeng Mountain, and the natural regiment commander is Song Jiang, in order to complete the team, Song Jiang decided to temporarily let Yan Shun serve as the deputy commander, Wang Ying as the commander of any battalion, Lu Fang as the commander of the second battalion, Guo Sheng as the commander of the third battalion, Zheng Tianshou, the commander of the cavalry battalion (lacking a company of cavalry), Zhao Desheng, the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon, and Peng Hu, the deputy platoon commander.

When everyone is here, a military meeting will be held to study the appointment of the remaining officers. At the same time, a battalion is helping on the construction site every day, and the number of people is strong, and the houses are built as soon as possible, of course, the food these days must be of high quality.

Song Jiang was very relieved to see that everything was going smoothly as planned.

It happened that You Yuyuan came back, and he told Yuncheng about seeing Song Taigong, and everyone said that Song Jiang was like a god, and if he was someone else, he would have no master, but he could analyze it calmly, and he was really not an ordinary person.

On the occasion of employing people, Song Jiang sent You Yuyuan to cooperate with Huachen to Qingfeng Town to start renting a house, and You Yuyuan was overjoyed when he heard that he had become the director of the gambling house, and left happily.

Shi Yong rode a horse, and Tang Long drove a carriage, pulling iron-striking tools on the cart, on the way to Qingfeng Mountain. In order to save a few days of travel, the two took a shortcut and walked to the side of a small forest, when suddenly four men popped out, all holding whistle sticks in their hands, blocking the way.

The leading man was tall and burly, holding a whistle stick and shouting: "Stop, I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to live from here, leave to buy road money." You leave the horses, chariots, and silver taels, and the lord will spare you from death! ”

Shi Yong smiled, it's really Guan Gong playing a big knife in front of him, and the robbery came to me, don't you see that I am more professional than you? Dare to steal my job, see how I clean you up.

Shi Yong suddenly became childlike and teased: "Brother four, this road is really driven by you?" Did you really plant this tree? ”

"Of course you did it, my famous Han Bolong said everything, when did he deceive people."

Saying that, he felt that something was wrong, and this statement had no momentum, so he scolded loudly: "You kid is tired of living, leave something and get out of here, ask the east and the west, and the uncle who asks is sexual, and cut off your head as a bow." ”
