After successfully turning Liu Xun into a knife, Sun Ce asked Chen Duan to lead people to follow Liu Xun to Jiangxia, handed over the affairs of the camp to Zhang Hong, took Xu Yu and some righteous servants, entered the city, and came to the Mu Academy.

There was a lot of noise in the wooden school, and more than a dozen people gathered together and argued loudly. Seeing Sun Ce come in, someone shushed and silenced in unison, and dispersed, leaving only Mo Ze sitting in front of the desk, his face was blue, and he didn't even see Sun Ce. Sun Ce was puzzled, walked up to Mo Ze, stretched out his hand and shook it.

"Master Mo, who are you angry with?"

Mo Zeyi waved his hand, opened Sun Ce's hand, and was about to scold him, when he looked up, he saw that it was Sun Ce, he was startled, and quickly stood up and bowed. Sun Ce waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite. "Tell me, what's going on?"

Mo Ze opened his mouth, but stopped again. "Alas, I don't even know how to speak, the general should ask Master Huang and Master Qin, they know better than me."

When Sun Ce saw Mo Ze's appearance, he already had a little eyebrow in his heart. He didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go to the backyard to have a look, don't be in a hurry to leave, I still have something to tell you when I come back." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for the general here."

Sun Ce came to the backyard and coughed first. This backyard was originally Huang Yueying's residence alone, and later Huang Yueying went to Pingyu, and it was occupied by Qin Luo. This time, Huang Yueying and Feng Wan accompanied him back to Wancheng, and they didn't let Qin Luo move out, and the good sisters got together again, which was very lively. It's just that Qin Luo is married to a wife and is about to give birth, Sun Ce can't break in directly, he has to say hello first.

As soon as the window sounded, half of the window opened, and Huang Yueying's face was revealed, smiling before speaking, bright as a flower. "How do you have time?"

"If there is something important, I have to come and ask the master for instructions."

"Giggle......" Huang Yueying laughed wildly, and quickly went out of the door and came to the courtyard. Sister Qin is inside, so I won't invite you in to sit. Say, if there is something big, I will bother you to come all the way, and I can't wait for a moment. ”

Sun Ce bent down, leaned into Huang Yueying's ear, and whispered, "I miss you, so I came to see you." ”

Huang Yueying stretched out her hand and nudged Sun Ce, her face was red and her ears were hot, and she was shy. "You'll lie to me. Tell me quickly, is there another fierce general who needs to build weapons? ”

"Look at you." Sun Ce was very unhappy. "In Pingyu, building weapons can only trouble you, but now in Wancheng, there are dozens of famous craftsmen under your Ah Weng, and I dare to trouble you for such a trivial matter? I really miss you, come to see you, and give you a big gift by the way. ”

Hearing the word gift, Huang Yueying became excited, pulled Sun Ce's sleeve and jumped and jumped, and urged repeatedly: "What a gift, say it quickly, say it quickly." ”

"Jiangxia Huang family."

"What?" Huang Yueying didn't understand, blinking, her dense and long eyelashes flickered like two small brushes.

"Jiangxia Huang family. You Ah Weng said that you were originally a branch of the Jiangxia Huang family, and then moved to Cannan, do you remember? Sun Ce told him about arranging for Liu Xun to go to Anlu to find Huang Yi and find the Huang family. Of course, he won't really copy the Huang family, and the Huang family won't be copied by him so easily, and he will definitely send someone for help. Huang Wan is too far away, it is estimated that it is too late, and the nearest reinforcements are Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying. He did this to give Huang Chengyan a face, and if possible, he would be promoted to be the head of the Huang family, and then he would be regarded as a model and begin to rectify the strong families of Jiangxia and Nanjun.

To his surprise, Huang Yueying was not interested at all, twisted her neck, and snorted. "Then you are wrong, my Ah Weng has no interest in the Jiangxia Huang family, otherwise he would not have moved to Cannan. If he wants to be the head of the family, he can just build a manor, wouldn't it be better to be a big sect himself, why bother to pick up the rags of the Jiangxia Huang family. ”

Looking at Huang Yueying, who had an arrogant face, Sun Ce said after a while: "Are you sure you really think so?" ”

Huang Yueying wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm going to be like those laymen? It's cold, it's cold, I'm not going to follow you, go in and get some clothes. As he spoke, he turned around and was about to go back to the house. Sun Ce grabbed her and untied the big coat and wrapped it around her. "Don't worry, I still have something to tell you, just now a group of people in front of me were arguing around Mo Ze, for what?"

"Mo Ze is really, he can't handle such a thing, if they want to go, let them go, what is there to stay."

"Who's leaving?"

"Those half-baked craftsmen." Huang Yueying wrapped her coat tightly, pulled Sun Ce to the side and sat down, muttering and muttering.

The situation is similar to what Sun Ce estimated, Xun Yu built a workshop in Chang'an, built a wood school, experienced craftsmen are in demand, the news spread to Nanyang, many people are moved, especially those whose homes are in Guanzhong, they want to go back to Chang'an, to work in the wood school of the imperial court, or to be a master craftsman in the workshop in Chang'an. Mo Ze felt that their craft was not successful, and there was also a suspicion of betrayal in doing so, so he dissuaded them in many ways.

The craftsmen of the Wood School are free, and if they really want to leave, no one can stop them, but in addition to the monthly payment, the craftsmen of the Wood School also have a bonus for the transfer of technology, which is a large amount. Because some technology transfer fees are linked to sales, they are settled on an annual basis, not in a lump sum. It's not yet the end of the year, and there is no way to settle the bill, and Mo Ze deliberately set up obstacles, which caused strong dissatisfaction among those craftsmen and conflicts.

"What do you think?" Sun Ce asked Huang Yueying.

"I don't care, it doesn't make a difference with them or not." Huang Yueying shrugged, not caring. "Just pick someone to teach for a few months. They don't have any skills, that is, they are just journeymen, and those who really have the ability are reluctant to leave Wancheng at all. ”

"General, what do you think?" Qin Luo walked in, holding the door frame with one hand and his belly with the other. She is about to give birth, but she still can't be idle, and she comes to the wood school every day to do things.

Sun Ce stood up and motioned for Feng Wan to bring a chair and let Qin Luo sit down. Qin Luo knew that Sun Ce was not particular and did not shirk, so he sat down politely. Sun Ce said with a smile: "Han Sheng has made a meritorious service this time, and he will soon return to Wancheng to participate in the martial arts competition, and when the time comes, I will give him a few more months of vacation, make up for all the Xiu Mu owed by this one, and let him accompany you." ”

Qin Luo smiled: "Then I will thank the general on behalf of Sister Hu." General, what do you think about the craftsmen of the Wood School going back to Guanzhong? ”

"The freedom to come and go, that's the minimum respect. They are people with skills, not slaves, not before, not now, will they return to Guanzhong in the future, I don't count. ”

"Don't the generals think that these are losses? After all, the general built the Wood Academy and put so much effort into it. ”

"Talent has always relied on attraction, not restraint." Sun Ce smiled. "Every money they earn is what they deserve, not what I give. If I say that I have benefited, I have benefited more from them, so I feel that I should not only give them a sum of money, but also set up a banquet for them to thank them for their contributions over the past year. ”

Qin Luo looked at Sun Ce for a moment and nodded. "General, I know why the clumsy husband and the younger brother are willing to serve you. Xun Yu can learn from the general to build a wood school, but he can't learn the general's mind. These people are clamoring to leave today and will come back crying one day. ”
