Li Zhe was taught a lesson by the gunsmith Master Zhang, and finally got to know the magic weapon of this era - the fire gun.

The subordinate Hu Shi took the baby fire gun from Li Zhe's hand, and went to find a proper place to place it.

This Hu Shi is the son of Li Zhe's family, a mixed race of Sri Lankan natives and Song people, who grew up with Li Zhe since he was a child, and that is, the "companion" that everyone in the family of this era has by his side.

However, although Hu Shi is a mixed-race race, it is definitely a higher level than the pure natives, and he is qualified to be given a Song name.

Although he still has the surname Hu, he is already very good, he can read and write, have the opportunity to receive cultural education, and be able to follow Li Zhe out to do things, which is much better than those real Tianzhu who are dark-skinned and not worthy of contact with the Song people at all. is qualified to serve a noble person like Li Zhe closely, which is also an honor in today's Tianzhuzhou society.

In his previous life, Li Zhe had heard about the strange caste system of Tianzhuzhou on the Internet, but in this life, a world with a completely different historical evolution from the previous life, the caste system of Tianzhuzhou is still deep-rooted, and it has not changed for the times at all. It's just that in the previous caste system, Kshatriya referred to the Aryan descendants of the Indian race, but in this era, it has become the Song people.

In the Asia of this world, the white people are no longer noble, but replaced by the well-deserved yellow people - the Song people, the Asia of this world, no matter where it is, any corner, as long as it is the Song people, they are born noble, belong to the Yan and Huang nobles, and are looked down upon.

And the Caucasian people who used to be very powerful in the West are still called barbarians in front of the Song people who are now all over the world and dominate the two oceans, and they are not qualified to let the Song people look up to them.

"This, well, firebolt, good, good! This master's craftsmanship is really powerful. ”

Li Zhe admired the gunsmith who gave him a firebolt against his will, he didn't have the idea of blaming other gunsmiths, who called the firecrackers of this era like this?

That gunsmith is also a Song man, although he does not have a title, but he is a Song man, and he is born with courage, and he does not have the flattery of Hu Shi, the subordinate of Li Zhe's family just now.

But since he is a gun seller, Li Zhe bought his gun, and he doesn't have that kind of anger, and he said in a loud voice:

"Prizes, prizes!"

took the five guan money handed over by Li Zhe, weighed the weight, and suddenly smiled a flower on his face, and said:

"It's a blessing for us to be able to do things for the officials, but I can't be praised by the officials, and now Xin has not disgraced his mission, and he finally won't let the officials down."

Anyway, Li Zhe is a noble person after all, although he does not have a knighthood, he will always have a title, which is inherently different from the ordinary people who do not have a title. The blacksmith still had to be polite in front of these people.

"However, there is one more thing to trouble this master." Then Li Zhe said again.

"Official, please speak."

"I want to ask Master Zhang to cut my love and give me an apprentice," Li Zhe said to the gunsmith.

"Apprentice?" The gunsmith hesitated.

Li Zhe hurriedly explained:

"You also know that if a person like me is a knight, most likely he will go back to build my family's fiefdom. We are in Dingyuan Prefecture where it is a poor and remote country, where is there a master with high craftsmanship like you. I wanted to open a gun shop in my house, so I wanted my master to ask a master apprentice to be a craftsman for my family. ”

When this gunsmith heard this, he was good! This guy thinks so far ahead, he hasn't figured out about his own attack, and he's thinking about the gun shop at home in the future.

However, in this era, muskets are popular, and the gunsmith master is definitely a hot profession, at least in the overseas states of the Great Song Dynasty, these places are all frontiers, and the places where commerce is flourishing are often mixed, the underworld forces are very arrogant, and the massive wealth and nobility give birth to dark ghosts, and the security in many places is not as peaceful as imagined.

And this situation is especially true for those nobles, the gun is like the most popular toy for men in this era, since it appeared in the society has been a symbol of personal force, almost everyone in the rich and noble families of this era has more than one musket to defend themselves, so it is common for nobles to want to shoot guns in their own gun shops.

In this era, there was no standardization of muskets, and they were all hand-made and customized. The fire guns created by each master are very different and full of personal style. Even many nobles have their own custom styles, which are very different in appearance and style, full of creativity, and the body of the gun is often engraved with decorative patterns such as the name of the badge.

Good guys, that's really full of tricks, beautiful, what a double ringing gun, six flower guns, thunder guns, son and mother guns, quite a hundred flowers blooming posture!

Li Zhe's thoughts are also common in this era.

It's just that the gunsmith listened to Li Zhe's request, but he was a little reluctant.

The gunsmiths of this era, like craftsmen, take apprentices, just like raising half a son, as the saying goes, ordinary people are raising children to prevent old age, but this craftsman of the Great Song Dynasty is to raise apprentices to prevent old age, this apprentice has to raise his own master after leaving the school, this is the tradition of the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty for thousands of years, Li Zhe wants to take half of his son with this opening, how can he be willing to do it?

The gunsmith's face grimaced.

Li Zhe opened his mouth and said:

"How about I can pay ten dollars?"

Ten yuan is no longer a small number, the Great Song Dynasty is rich in products, prices are not high, especially in these overseas states, the currency value has always been quite stable.

Master Zhang, the gunsmith, hesitated and refused to reply,

Get! That is, Li Zhe's bid is less,

"That, fifteen, twenty."

Master Zhang's face never let go.

Damn, it's pretty ruthless! Li Zhe looked at the gunsmith's expression, and his heart was ruthless,

"Thirty guan, or twenty gold coins, how about it? If it is more than that, I will not wait. ”

Hum! Isn't it just a gunsmith apprentice, I really think that if you miss this village, there will be no shop, there are many gunsmiths in the Great Song Dynasty, Li Zhe is just too lazy to look for it, do you really think you have to do it?

Looking at Li Zhe's expression, knowing that he could no longer squeeze oil and water, the score on the gunsmith's face immediately became a little unbearable, and his lips trembled up and down and he wanted to agree.

Thirty yuan is definitely a huge amount of money for a small person like Blacksmith Zhang, like the fire gun he spent half a month building for Li Zhe, a militaristic weapon, that is, worth five yuan! This is already a luxury item that only the children of the family will buy on the market.
