"Master Hou, tell me, when will you start making guns?"

Blacksmith Lu looked at Du Sheng with a red face and asked, looking eager to try.

"Don't worry, Ben Hou has one more thing to explain to you before officially making the gun."

Du Sheng waved his hand, handed the big knife in his hand to the guard behind him, and said.

"Don't hide it from you, just now this Hou ordered someone to take all your family members to the Hou Mansion, and now it has been settled. Each of your families has a separate yard, and the food and clothing of your family members are all provided according to the specifications of the Hou Mansion. In addition, each family sent an old mother and a maid to serve the food and daily life. ”

"From tomorrow onwards, Benhou will ask the best gentleman to teach your children or grandchildren to read and write. Those who are already adults, Ben Hou will also arrange errands for them. ”

"As for the masters, if you have any requirements in the future, you can directly mention them to Ben Hou, as long as you can do it, Ben Hou will definitely meet you. Your silver is tentatively set at 50 taels per month, and Master Lu is 100 taels per month. After the musket was made, your silver doubled again! ”

Du Sheng thought for a moment, but decided to make something clear in advance. This can give these old blacksmiths a bottom in their hearts.

Every condition he prescribes is difficult for the vast majority of people to dream of.

Everyone is like a dream, they have been fighting iron all their lives, and they never thought that one day they would let the whole family live a high-ranking and noble life because of this craft.

Not to mention anything else, just fifty taels a month is enough to make people's hearts move.

"Don't look at Ben Hou with this kind of eyes, I believe you can all see it, whether it is a musket or the method of smelting iron, once it is passed out, it will definitely shake the world!"

"Benhou has only one request, and that is that no one shall divulge in any way the method of casting muskets and blackstone iron. As long as everyone does this, Benhou guarantees that it will be rich for all generations, and it will not be difficult for future generations to become officials and generals! ”

As long as these people don't have two hearts, Du Sheng can't wait to train their children or apprentices. Making guns is not an overnight thing, this batch is built, there will be the next batch, and the next batch will be after the next batch is completed.

In addition to making guns, Du Sheng has a lot of places where he needs to use them.

"But the ugly words Ben Hou also has to say in the front, once I find out who has two hearts, the county Zheng Jimin will be his end!"

Du Sheng's face was cold, and the killing intent in his eyes was like substance!

The news of Zheng Jimin's punishment of the Nine Clans has long been known throughout the city, and Rao is that these blacksmith masters have been tempered for a certain period of time, and their hearts are much stronger than ordinary people, but they are still frightened by Du Sheng's last sentence.

"Hou Ye, rest assured, the villain will never dare to betray half of his heart!"

"Master Hou treats me so preferentially, if anyone dares to chew the root of his tongue, the hammer in Lao Tzu's hand will not be the first to agree!"

"I, Wang Sledgehammer, swear to the sky that I will never dare to betray Lord Hou in my life!"

……

After being surprised, delighted and frightened, everyone, including Blacksmith Lu, was busy swearing loyalty to Du Sheng.

"Okay, I'll leave it to the masters. If you have any requests, you can ask Fu Bo, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, or you can come to me directly. You can live in the same courtyard with your own family, or you can let Fubo arrange another courtyard alone. ”

"I'm going to see a sample of the first musket in three days, it's a hard job."

The so-called rivers and lakes walk the horse, take the road, and look at the hearts of the people.

After Du Sheng's radish and stick, he has completely won the hearts of these blacksmiths.

All you have to do is wait quietly for the first shotgun to come out.

"Master Hou, don't worry, I guarantee to make the gun you want within three days!"

Blacksmith Lu confidently agreed, and immediately beckoned the others to start acting.

Du Sheng looked at the blacksmith who was busy for a while, nodded secretly, and turned around and walked out of the yard.

"Send more people to guard this courtyard, and don't allow any idle people to approach."

Out of the hospital, Du Sheng solemnly explained to Fu Bo.

"Master Hou, don't worry, I'll let Sun Leng personally take charge of the safety here."

Fu Bo also knew the importance of this, and secretly decided to wait for Du Sheng to leave, and immediately increase the number of people to protect him.

"You secretly pay attention to the every move of these blacksmiths and their families, and report any abnormalities immediately!"

After a pause, Du Sheng lowered his voice and commanded the two Qinglong guards who followed behind him.

"No!"

The latter respectfully clenched his fists and agreed, and the two immediately went to convey the instructions.

When Du Sheng returned to the inner courtyard after finishing these things, it was already half of the afternoon.

"Third brother, third brother, Niuniu left you something delicious. Taste it, it's fragrant. ”

As soon as Du Sheng walked into the backyard, Niuniu, who was holding her small chin to watch her second sister Du Qi practice swords, saw him, and a pair of good-looking big eyes bent into a crescent moon and ran over quickly.

"What is delicious, show it to the third brother."

Du Sheng hugged Niuniu as soon as he bent over, smiled very cooperatively and swallowed his saliva deliberately.

"Hee-hee, gluttonous cat, here you go."

Niuniu smiled happily and opened her meaty little hand to reveal a small handful of fried golden beans.

"Uh...... Isn't this fried soybeans? ”

Du Sheng was stunned for a moment, picked up two and threw them into his mouth.

Not to mention, it's really delicious if I haven't eaten it for a long time.

"Third brother, is it delicious?"

Niuniu asked with a look of praise on my face.

"Niuniu is specially reserved for the third brother, of course it's delicious."

Du Sheng pinched her little face dotingly and praised.

He has been busy in the past two days, and he doesn't even have time to have a good meal with his family, and Du Sheng is a little unhappy in his heart.

"Yikes! How did I forget that bite! ”

"Niuniu, the third brother will make you a delicious one, I guarantee that you still want to eat it after eating."

Du Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up when she looked at the fried soybeans in her hand, and she remembered a delicious snack that many people loved to eat in her previous life-tofu brain.

The staple food of this world is mainly corn, wheat, and sorghum. Soybeans can only be regarded as a child's snack, and the method is very simple, except for boiling or stir-frying, there is no taste at all.

"Wow, what's delicious?"

As soon as Niuniu heard that there was something delicious, she subconsciously swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva.

"Keep it secret for now, and you'll find out in a moment."

Du Sheng grinned, and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a small pot of washed soybeans and stone mills after putting Niuniu down.

In his previous life, as a top international veteran, Du Sheng was involved in a wide range of knowledge, from the latest national policies to the price of onions, ginger and garlic in the vegetable market.

Art, music, economics, food, and literature are all compulsory courses, and Du Sheng has worked hard.

Do one line and love one line, that's it. If you want to be the ultimate in any profession, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

The news that Hou Ye was going to cook in person spread, and his mother and eldest sister were suddenly shocked.

"Sheng'er, what are you doing here? Put it down! You are the marquis of Tang and Tang Yipinzhen, how can you do such a woman's thing! ”

"Mother Wu! You are so bold, you dare to let Hou Ye do such a cheap thing! Fu Bo, let Wu Ma be dragged down and beaten with twenty military sticks! ”

When Zhou Xiushu saw Du Sheng rolling up his sleeves and grinding soybeans with a stone mill, her face changed instantly, as if Du Sheng was in the kitchen was a bigger thing than the sky.

"Madame spares her life, Madame spares her life, it is the Hou Ye himself who wants to come in, and the slave and maid can't stop it if they want to!"

Mother Wu, who was in charge of the back kitchen, heard the beating of the twenty military sticks, as if the bones of her body had been pulled out all at once, and she knelt on the ground as soon as her knees became weak, and she kept kowtowing in horror and begging for mercy.

"Mother, it's none of Wu's mother's business, I have to come in myself. Isn't it just an occasional entry into the kitchen, not as serious as you say? I just wanted to make something delicious to honor you. ”

Du Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart, quickly put down the stone mill in his hand, wiped his hands on his sleeve, and went over to hold Zhou Xiushu's arm and coaxed him.

On a whim, he really forgot about the gentleman's cooking, otherwise he would definitely do it quietly, and he would definitely not dare to alarm his mother Zhou Xiushu.
