Chapter 367: Burned
"Ahem! Ladies and gentlemen! I came here today to discuss something with you! Chen Fei asked Wang Sanshi to bring a wooden board, press a bracket at the bottom, and put it up to become a simple "blackboard".
Chen Fei nailed his design drawings to the wooden board and showed them to all the craftsmen.
"Look, everybody." Chen Fei didn't know where to find a branch, pointed to the drawing and showed it to the big guy. "Look, these need to be made of iron, and I don't know if it's feasible at the current level."
"Thisβ" The craftsmen looked at the drawings for a moment, looked at each other, and remained silent. There were a few who were far away, and after coming up and reading the drawings, they also shook their heads regretfully.
"My lord, these things are difficult." An old craftsman who was closer touched his beard and said slowly: "First of all, these things are too fine, the old man is ashamed, and he doesn't have such fine craftsmanship, and second, now we don't have molds for these utensils, and it is difficult to make them without molds, so..."
"So those are the two reasons?" Chen Fei took the craftsman's words and looked at everyone calmly.
Almost all the craftsmen bowed their heads in shame.
In fact, Chen Fei also had a rough idea of whether the cannon could be made, and the simplest and most primitive cannon could definitely be made, but the manufacture of the Franco cannon was indeed quite difficult.
At present, under the leadership of Chen Fei, the iron-smelting industry has just begun to enter a period of development, maybe the new iron-smelting method will make these old craftsmen feel unaccustomed, so many things are not guaranteed, Chen Fei himself does not know how to operate this piece, can only let the craftsmen slowly explore in his way, maybe there will be a qualitative change after being familiar with the new process, but now... No one dared to pack a ticket.
"In this way, we will not discuss the drawings here for the time being." Chen Fei removed the drawings of the Fulong cannon, leaving only the design drawings of the improvised cannon.
"This should be done, right?"
This time, the craftsmen finally gave Chen Fei a definite answer: "Lord Hui, it is not difficult to look at such an object, let me wait to try it, maybe it can be manufactured." β
"Don't maybe you can make it, I want you to make it!" Chen Fei knocked on the wooden board with a branch and gave everyone a death order.
"From now on, all the craftsmen will start to build this artifact, ask for materials for materials, and if you can build it within three days, I will give you a reward!"
As soon as they heard the reward, the craftsmen immediately became excited, and a few of them jumped out directly, patting their chests and assuring Chen Fei, swearing to make this thing even if they didn't sleep for three days.
Chen Fei expressed a high degree of affirmation of their attitude of asking for money and not wanting to die, and explaining the task well is like finding a place to be lazy.
Suddenly, a craftsman stopped him.
"What else is going on?"
The craftsman hesitated for a moment, and a trace of unnatural expression flashed on his face, even if he quickly concealed it well, he was still discovered by Chen Fei's sharp eyes.
"That's... Adult, the little dare to ask the adult, what is this iron bucket-like thing for? β
"What for?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Chen Fei's mouth, leaned down, approached the craftsman, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with an almost inaudible and chill: "You don't need to know what to do, you just need to do what you have to do." β
When the craftsman heard Chen Fei's cold tone, a cold sweat broke out behind his back, he looked up at Chen Fei, and immediately lowered his head weakly, his tone was a little panicked, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Chen Fei smiled, didn't bother too much with this craftsman, patted his sleeve and left. Before leaving, he called Sun Lian.
"Sun Lian? Come to me. β
"Oh!" Sun Lian now called Chen Fei a compliment, honestly agreed to him, and then followed Chen Fei to his office.
"Sit!" Chen Fei sat on the chair with great swagger and motioned for Sun Lian to sit down as well.
Sun Lian was a little hesitant, probably because he was scared by Chen Fei, and now he was a little submissive in front of Chen Fei.
Chen Fei was immediately unhappy when he saw his cowardice. "Hey! You say you're a big man, don't you dare to sit down? Sit down! β
Sun Lian was so frightened by Chen Fei's tone that his heart jumped, and he hurriedly sat down. "Big... My lord, what are your commands? β
It's only been two days of starvation to become this virtue? Can this person be used? Chen Fei said hello in his heart, but he still asked him some questions quietly.
For example, how old are you this year, how old are the children in the family, how old is your father, how old is your mother, so that it will not make people feel angry.
Of course, Sun Lian may not think so, he is very worried at the moment, for fear that Chen Fei will attack his own family.
Chen Fei also saw his concerns, and finally smiled at him slightly, and said: "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, I didn't mean anything else when I called you today, I just felt that we had some misunderstandings before, and I came to eliminate the misunderstanding today." β
Misunderstand? Sun Lian almost jumped when he heard this. You let me clean the toilet for three days, I was hungry for two days, and now I smell the smell of, you told me that it was a misunderstanding? I don't want you to play like this, do you?
But because of Chen Fei's majesty, he just pursed his lips and didn't say anything in the end.
Anyway, Chen Fei is a big official, and what he said is right.
Chen Fei saw that Sun Lian didn't say anything, and nodded with satisfaction. "Sun Lian, you should be a smart person, you should know what Your Majesty sent you here for. I think that the task you have to do now is to do a good job in the task assigned to you by Your Majesty, and not to disappoint Your Majesty, you should know this. β
Sun Lian replied honestly: "Yes, the little one understands." β
"It's good to understand, as for the punishment I sent you to sweep the pit before, I originally wanted to discipline you, I thought that if you were willing to repent, let you clean for half a day, who let you dig like this, you have to sweep for three days, I can't help it, I can only say... Do you prefer feces and pee? β
Sun Lian...... You love, your whole family loves!
Sun Lian complained a few words in his heart, and finally hung his head and was silent.
Chen Fei saw that Sun Lian had almost comprehended, and he planned to stop here. "Sun Lian, then you can do it yourself, as long as you don't provoke me and affect the normal work of the workshop, you can toss it as you want. Alright, here you go! β
"Yes!" Sun Lian respectfully stepped back.
After Sun Lian walked out, Chen Fei took out the design drawings of the Frankie cannon in his arms and burned them all in the fire.
"Devil!" Chen Fei looked at a roll of paper thrown in the charcoal stove and burned out, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Pandora's box has not been completely opened after all, perhaps what the world yearns for is peace.
