"Duan Jiu, knife!" Qin Forget called Duan Jiu.

Duan Jiu understood, and immediately handed him an ordinary Khitan scimitar.

Qin Forget raised the two scimitars and slammed them, the ordinary scimitars were immediately cut in two, and the scimitars of the thirty refinements just popped out of a sesame-sized gap, and if they were sharpened, they would not affect their use at all.

"Yes, good quality." Qin Forget nodded again and again with satisfaction.

He looked up and carefully looked at the nearby blacksmith shops, and found that everyone's enthusiasm for work was indeed not high, and many people were even grinding foreign workers.

"Wang Tiehammer, gather everyone, I want to talk to you." Qin Forget was not angry, and said to Wang Tiehammer.

"Many of you shouldn't know me, I'm Qin Wang!" Seeing that the people were almost gathered, Qin Forget jumped on a pile of pig iron and said to everyone.

Hundreds of craftsmen and apprentices of all kinds looked at each other, many of them meeting Qin Forget for the first time, and Qin Forget had always been a legend to them. In fact, the sources of these people are very mixed, most of them are Qin Wang's blackmailing of Huang Ling and Huang Wushuang, and many of them are recruited by Qin Wang's own, and a small number of others are from the grassland Khitans.

But no matter what, Qin Forget completely changed their fate, no matter where they were or what they were doing, their status was very low. The craftsman has been a cheap since ancient times. After coming to Akagi, although their work has not changed, their status is very different, and the good monthly salary and respect from others are something they have not experienced before. Therefore, they still have a strong sense of belonging to Chicheng, and they are even more grateful to Qin Wang, the lord of Chicheng.

"I've seen the general!" The craftsmen all knelt on the ground, shouting excitedly.

"Everyone, please get up, please get up." Qin Forget gave the guards a look.

Dozens of guards quickly walked into the crowd of craftsmen and pulled everyone up.

"I know, everyone wonders why I sold weapons to the Khitans." Qin Wang's words changed sharply, "There may still be people scolding me, this kid is really not a thing, he just finished fighting the Khitans and sold weapons to the Khitans." ”

Qin Wang's words caused a burst of laughter from the craftsmen. Qin Forget didn't tell them any big truths, none of these craftsmen had read any books, and they couldn't understand what they said in a high-sounding way, so saying it was more to their liking.

"Then I'll tell you why I sold them weapons." Qin forgot to organize the language, "This Khitan is not monolithic. It is divided into the South Courtyard and the North Courtyard, and now these two Courtyards are in trouble, and they are on the same page, and the strength of the North Courtyard is much stronger than that of the South Courtyard. Some time ago, he fought with Lin Zhan to fight the people of the North Courtyard, and he cooperated with the Southern Courtyard. These scimitars and these arrows were also bought by the South Courtyard, everyone think about it, if the Southern Courtyard is destroyed by the Northern Courtyard, our Akagi has an enmity with its Northern Courtyard, will the Northern Courtyard let us go? ”

"Naturally not!" Hearing Qin Wang's explanation, everyone understood seven or eight points in their hearts, and they all answered him in unison.

"Yes,

The North Courtyard won't let us go, so what should we do? Qin Forget asked again.

Qin Forget deliberately guided these craftsmen to think about these problems, and they themselves figured out that it would be more effective than Qin Forget's painstaking words for a day.

"That's naturally to help the South Courtyard fight the North Courtyard, with the South Courtyard in front, the dead are all their Khitans, and we are safe." A schoolboy said boldly.

"Well said!" Qin Forget looked at the junior apprentice and praised loudly, "It is to help the South Courtyard fight the North Courtyard, the stronger the South Courtyard, the more difficult it is for the North Courtyard to clean them up, let them eat dogs, then the safer our Chicheng will be!" Do you understand now? ”

"Got it!" It was the junior apprentice who shouted loudly, he was very proud when he got Qin Wang's praise just now, "Just let them eat the dog, let's just watch the show." ”

Hearing the junior apprentice shouting like this, everyone completely understood, and they all applauded Qin Wang.

"Then general, let's sell them such good knives, what if the Southern Courtyard comes to beat us?" Another blacksmith, swarthy and strong, asked cautiously.

"That's a good question!" Qin Forget praised again, "This war doesn't rely on weapons, it's people!" This time, the North Courtyard killed the 200,000 troops of the South Courtyard, and the Southern Courtyard had no time or strength to fight us, and it was too late for them to resist the North Courtyard. Besides, the weapon is our fight, and the master can still let the apprentice starve to death? Let's sell them thirty refinements of good swords, and in the future, our own army will use fifty refinements. We sell them the bad ones and keep the good ones for ourselves. Those Khitans are very stupid, they can't build weapons, if they really fight, we won't give them weapons, they won't even fight! ”

Hearing Qin Forget say this, the craftsmen thought about it, and the doubts in their hearts were gone.

"Our treasures are not for use by the Khitans." Qin Forget weighed the scimitar in his hand, "They have to exchange things for it." Do you know what they got in exchange? Steed! That's a baby, a war horse they only exchanged us for a scimitar, forty-five arrows, this thing is worth less than fifteen taels of silver, guess how much their war horse is worth? "Qin Forget deliberately sold a pass.

Where did these craftsmen know the price of war horses, and they guessed twenty taels or thirty taels one after another.

"Tell you, fifty taels! This is still an ordinary war horse, and the price is even higher if it is better! Qin Forget stretched out a palm and shouted excitedly, like a philistine businessman.

Good boy! Fifty taels? Net profit of thirty-five taels?

All the craftsmen screamed, they didn't expect their usually seemingly simple and boring work to be so profitable.

"So, don't be arrogant, you are not inferior to anyone else, on the contrary, you have done a lot for Akagi with a hammer, I Qin Forget thank you again!"

A startling scene appeared, Qin Forget, the lord of Akagi, and the dignified captain suddenly clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply to all the craftsmen.

Qin forgot about this seem

The ordinary actions made all the craftsmen wet their eyes, and an old craftsman burst into tears, "God, you have finally opened your eyes, you have finally opened your eyes!" ”

The old craftsman's sigh fully reflects the miserable life and situation of the craftsman class.

"Old man thanked the general, thanked the general for treating us as individuals!" Old craftsman: "Poof! He knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried loudly.

Qin Wang's eyes were also red, he jumped off the iron pile and pulled up the old craftsman, "Old gentleman doesn't have to be like this, I, Qin Wang, owe you, Chicheng owes you!" ”

The old craftsman trembled and didn't dare to say anything.

"I don't care what happens elsewhere, in my Akagi, there is no distinction between high and low in all walks of life. If you want to continue to be a craftsman, you will continue to be a craftsman, and if you don't want to be a craftsman, you will be left to do anything else. Your children and grandchildren are too, I welcome you if you want to inherit your mantle, and it's okay if you don't want to inherit it! In the future, there will be no craftsman registration in the five counties of Yunbei! Qin Wang's words suddenly were shocking.

As soon as he said this, it can be said that it was earth-shattering, and it can be said that he abolished all kinds of shackles at the grassroots level of craftsmen with one sentence. At that time, many people were moved to want to break away from the artisan class, after all, their experience was too miserable in the past.

Qin Forget had discovered everyone's thoughts from the commotion in the crowd, and although he was extremely reluctant to let these craftsmen leave, he was not panicked at all, because he was sure to keep them.

"Don't be busy making decisions, you have done a lot and contributed a lot to Akagi, and I, Qin Wang, will naturally not treat you badly!" Qin Forget smiled slightly, "From now on, your remuneration will be doubled. In the past, you ordinary craftsmen paid a tael of silver a month and a half, but from now on they pay a tael of silver a month, and everyone else is like this. ”

As soon as Qin Wangyi finished speaking, everyone suddenly became excited again, the treatment of Akagi was already good, but it doubled all of a sudden, which was indeed considerable. Many people dismissed the idea of leaving the artisan class at that time.

"Other than that, it's just your guaranteed payout. Suppose your share of a day's work is ten scimitars, and when you finish these ten cutlases, you will be paid for the other work, a scimitar and a penny, and your people in each process will share it among themselves. If the price is not suitable, you can discuss it again, Wang Tiehammer will report to me, and if it is suitable, I will approve it. ”

After Qin forgot to say this, everyone went completely crazy, not only did the guaranteed remuneration double, but they could get more for more work, and a skilled craftsman could make fifteen scimitars a day. That is, there are five more scimitars, five one penny is half a tael of silver, and a scimitar is only handled by a few people, and if the average score is one person, there will be three taels of silver in that month, which is several times higher than the guaranteed remuneration.

They never thought that craftsmen in Akagi could also become fragrant dumplings. Their profession can be so profitable and respected, and no one has the idea of changing careers anymore.
