Chapter Eighty-Four: Digging Craftsmen
"Master Li, I have 400 long knives, 1,200 spears, and 400 bows and arrows. knives and spears were five pieces of silver, and bows and arrows were one or two pieces of silver. These add up to a thousand two hundred taels of silver. ”
"I asked for a hundred, four or two. a total of four hundred taels of silver. ”
"The tiger squat cannon asked for four. a thousand taels of silver. ”
"I asked for a thousand sets of armor with iron armor inside, and a set of five taels of silver. Five thousand taels in total. ”
"These weapons and ordnance add up to seven thousand six hundred taels of silver, right?" Yuan Chao counted the amount of consumption this time with his fingers, this is not unknowing, he was really shocked when he calculated, and it cost him seven thousand six hundred taels of silver to buy equipment.
Li Fushen looked at what was written on the paper, listened to what Yuan Chao said, and calculated it in his heart.
"Not bad at all. Lord Yuan Mingjian, I don't have the right to discount in my hands, otherwise I have to give Lord Yuan a big discount for such a bold sake. "Li Fushen is also staggering, this calculation, Yuan Chao is really a big customer, compared to those poor people in other guards, Yuan Chao is simply a generous son.
"Master Li, you've done us a great favor."
"Wei Hang, give the account of weapons and ordnance to Master Li first." Yuan Chao also knew that Li Fushen wanted to see the money before he was relieved, so he was ready to give the money to Li Fushen.
Zhou Weihang, who had been beside him, heard Yuan Chao's order, and immediately stepped forward next to Li Fushen, and carefully took out the seven thousand six hundred taels of silver tickets that he had already calculated from his arms.
"Master Li, let's order it, seven thousand six hundred taels, a lot of points." Zhou Weihang stretched out his hand and handed over the silver ticket.
"Oh, Lord Yuan's silver will definitely not be bad." Li Fushen said beautiful words, but he took the silver handed over by Zhou Weihang and counted it carefully.
Li Fushen carefully tapped twice before and after, confirming that it was a lot.
"Lord Yuan, it's not bad. When do you think it's time to see the military horses? After Li Fushen counted it clearly, he folded it carefully, put it in his arms, and remembered that there was still a business to do.
"Then now, I still have time to take a look at the military household craftsmen today, Lord Wu Yue said, let me take a look at the military household craftsmen, if you are willing, you can take some away, and ask Lord Li to help, Yuan Chao will be thankful for the success." Yuan Chao also wanted to finish these things quickly and go back to arm his army.
After Li Fushen listened to Yuan Chao's words, he immediately arranged a few small followers.
One is here to keep an eye on the loading, the other is to arrange the horses at the horse farm, and the other is to find some skilled military craftsmen to assemble.
Under Li Fushen's arrangement, Yuan Chao carefully selected sixty sturdy military horses in the military horse factory. At the price of ten taels and one horses, Li Fushen was given six hundred taels of silver.
Later, under Li Fushen's arrangement, Yuan Chao came to the hall where the craftsmen of the military household gathered.
"Lord Yuan, these are the military craftsmen we can count in our hands, but whether some of them are willing to go with you or not depends on Lord Yuan's skills. Li Fushen pointed to the military craftsman in front of him and said. ”
Yuan Chao looked at so many military craftsmen and nodded gratefully at Li Fushen.
Yuan Chao looked at the military craftsmen standing under the hall, although most of them were dressed relatively neatly and neatly, it was not difficult to see that many of them had patches on their clothes and were washed white.
Although it is said that all craftsmen in the world are popular, but these craftsmen, when they go out to see Shangguan, they also wear such tattered clothes, they know that the family background of these craftsmen is not optimistic.
Yuan Chao knew very well that compared with this prosperous Kaifeng Mansion, in addition to giving preferential treatment, it can be said that there is really no advantage at all.
"Everyone, today I will gather you famous craftsmen in Henan into the hall, there is nothing else, that is, I, as Yuan Chao, the official of Chenzhou Wei, now want to invite a group of military craftsmen to settle in Chenzhouwei, and Lord Wu Yue has already agreed with my idea on this matter, and you don't have to worry about anything else."
"Compared with Kaifeng Mansion in this flower world, our Chen Zhouwei is indeed inferior, but I have my sincerity."
"I solemnly promise to you that all military craftsmen who go to our guard will be given ten acres of land, a set of houses, three taels of silver per month for starting work, additional rewards for doing a good job, and free books for children to read." Yuan Chao went up and blew up his own conditions.
"Suck." The craftsmen and soldiers who were not interested in going to the guard house at all couldn't help but take a breath.
I don't know where the landlord came from, he is so arrogant, and the conditions offered are not unfavorable.
All the craftsmen and soldiers in the hall have become a little interested in wanting to know.
The craftsmen in the hall also couldn't help but communicate with each other.
"Do you say that there is such a good thing, are these hundred households bragging?"
"Is what these hundred households said true, so I want to go a little?"
The military craftsmen below muttered for a while, but none of them made a decision first.
Yuan Chao looked at these military craftsmen and understood their hesitation, after all, no matter what they said, they were also craftsmen in Kaifeng Mansion.
"In this way, in order to show my sincerity, if anyone wants to come, I will pay three months' salary first, the opportunity is limited, you should consider it." Yuan Chao looked at their hesitation and made another killer move.
Hearing what Yuan Chao said, some military families who were originally living in hardship couldn't suppress it in their hearts.
"It's out of the way, I'm living a tight life here anyway, if I can get nine taels of silver at a time, then I'll go." A broken army craftsman who wore a patch and fell a patch was the first to stand up.
"Good. If you want to change your situation and have the courage to make changes, you are a good person. Wei Hang, record him and give him silver. Yuan Chao encouraged this model.
The other craftsmen saw that Yuan Chao really took out real money and silver to distribute it, and some other craftsmen who wanted to change the situation stood up one after another.
However, only a small part of them are brave enough to change, and most of them are still standing there numbly, which is their comfort zone, and they still don't have the courage to jump out of their comfort zone.
However, Yuan Chao was also satisfied, and he had already received thirty craftsmen, which was already a good result.
The Yuan Dynasty didn't say anything more after receiving people, those who didn't even have the courage to fight, they might really not fit into the system of the Yuan Dynasty.
……
Secluded side, "Master Li, thank you this time, this is what I promised." Saying that, Yuan Chao stuffed out a hundred taels of silver tickets.
"Oh, that's so polite, you said that we are like brothers, how can this be." Li Fushen honestly stuffed the silver ticket into his cuffs.
