Turning the day, as soon as the morning dawned, Liu Zheng impatiently went to the camp where the craftsmen were, and when the craftsmen saw Liu Zheng coming, most of them were more frightened, and only a few people seemed to have seen the world better, and cautiously walked in front of Liu Zheng to make a gesture, with an unpleasant smile on their faces. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

One of the men in his forties seemed to be the leader, and he was the first to speak: "Little, Ge Si, please say hello to this general!" ”

Although Liu Zheng didn't like this flattering attitude, he still held back, put on a smile and said, "Mr. Ge is invited, I don't know what Mr. Ge does?" Is it a gunsmith or a ......"

Ge Simei smiled and said: "I don't dare to take the title of sir, the general can just call the small Ge Si, the small one is not a craftsman, the small one is arranged by the commander to take care of these craftsmen!" ”

Liu Zheng's face sank suddenly, and he squinted his eyes and looked at this guy with a charming face, and Ge Si was furious when he looked at him, but what Liu Zheng said next was not just to make his heart furious, but to make him swing all over.

"You're all coming!"

As soon as Liu Zheng spoke, the three or four hundred people present looked at each other, and slowly moved to a distance of three or four meters in front of Liu Zheng, and they didn't dare to move forward.

"Let me ask you, what is your usual treatment, how much is the monthly salary of the gunsmith, how much silver is the month of the gunsmith, how much silver is the month of the gunsmith, how much silver is the month of the archer, and how much is the silver of the month of the swordsmith?"

Still no one spoke, Ge Si wanted to speak, but was glared at by Liu Zheng fiercely, and then stepped aside and closed his mouth.

Liu Zheng snorted and turned around to make a color to the guard Hu Hansan beside him, Hu Hansan laughed, beckoned, and the two soldiers walked to Ge Si's side and sandwiched Ge Si in the middle.

Liu Zheng glanced at the craftsmen, and then spoke: "Don't be afraid, just say whatever you want, I, Liu Zheng, will call the shots for you!" ”

Still no one spoke, Liu Zheng was a little breathless, stretched out his hand and pointed at a young man in his twenties and said, "You, you come out, tell me what your name is!" ”

The person who was pointed at by Liu Zheng was frightened and retreated, but there were too many people who couldn't retreat after taking two steps back, so they had to take two steps forward with a shudder: "I, I call Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma Legs!" ”

As soon as this person finished speaking, Hu Hansan beside Liu Zheng couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, what a fucking bullshit name, the other soldiers also held back their laughter, Liu Zheng also wanted to laugh, but he has been immune to the characteristic names of the poor people in Shandong a lot, and he understands it very well, Shandong is too poor, and there are constant disasters, and man-made disasters, the survival rate of this child is very low, even if it is a child of a rich family, there are few official names before the age of twelve, basically called dogzi, dogdan, The dog has such a nickname in order to prevent the ghost of the underworld from hooking the child's soul away, so that the child can survive.

Coughing lightly, Liu Zheng said with a pleasant face: "Ma Legs, don't be nervous, I'm not a monster, I don't eat people, you see I have legs and feet, I must not be a ghost, right?" ”

Liu Zheng's words eased Ma Lezi's nervousness a little, and after waiting for a while, Liu Zheng asked again: "Ma Lezi, which line of craftsmen are you?" ”

"I, I, I'm a cannon maker!"

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he actually clicked on a gunsmith casually: "Oh, you are a gunsmith, you became a gunsmith at a young age!" As he spoke, Liu Zheng gave a thumbs up to the horse's legs.

Ma Legzi smiled innocently, and Liu Zheng continued to ask: "Who did you learn from this cannon-making skill?" ”

"I, my father, my father taught me!"

Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Yo, it seems that Ling Zun is also a person with great skills, not only can make cannons, but also is very good at teaching apprentices, otherwise you wouldn't have become a gunsmith at such a young age, right?" ”

"Hehe, that's, my dad is very capable!"

is a person who wants others to praise his family, and Liu Zhengla's homely way has resolved the tense atmosphere between the two sides a lot.

"Ma Leg, your father is so capable, and you are so old, why are you still called by this name? Didn't your dad give you a big name? Your father is not here, call your father out, I want to ask him, you have become a great craftsman, why don't you give you a big name! ”

Ma Leg's face darkened, and his head hung down: "I, when I was young, my father died, and he was blown up during the test gun!" ”

Liu Zheng didn't expect this to be the result, walked up to Ma Leg, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said: "People can't be resurrected after death, it's useless to be sad and sad, if you live well, your father will be happy below!" ”

"Well, I know!"

"Who else taught you how to make cannons besides your father?"

"Uncle Zhang taught me!"

Liu Zheng glanced at the craftsmen and asked, "I don't know which one is Old Man Zhang, can you come out and see it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a man in his fifties with a wrinkled face but very energetic walked out, and said with a full heart: "I is, if this general has anything to do, just find my old man, and beg the general to let go of these hairy boys!" ”

Liu Zheng didn't care about the hidden meaning of this old man Zhang's words, and smiled: "Old man Zhang, since that's the case, then I'll look for you!" ”

"Then old man, who has the best craftsmanship among the gunners, and how much money can he get a month?"

Old Man Zhang snorted: "I am the best gunsmith, two taels of silver in January!" ”

I'll go, a dignified senior technician is only a fucking two taels of silver a month, Liu Zheng's eyes widened and said, "Old man, aren't you making fun of me?" A dignified gunsmith, only two taels of silver a month? ”

"What? Why don't you believe me? I'm in my fifties, how can I still talk about people? Old man Zhang's neck was straight, and he looked at Liu Zheng stubbornly.

Liu Zheng smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's not that I don't believe your words, old man, but I think it's too fucking bastard, in our Qingzhou Mansion, you have five taels of silver a month to mine, you are a gunsmith like this, such a capable person, only give two taels of silver a month!" ”

Old Man Zhang pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Little baby, you are also a person with a head and a face, don't say something deceitful and make people look down on you!" ”

Liu Zheng didn't know much, Hu Hansan was anxious all of a sudden, took two steps forward and pointed at Old Man Zhang and said, "You old man, how do you speak?" My father-in-law rarely lied to you, the lord built brick houses for all the poor people in Qingzhou Mansion, have you ever seen a brick house? The red bricks, the red tiles, there is still a kang in it, and in the winter, you burn firewood in the kang, and you don't get out of the bed when it's hot! ”

Old Man Zhang was slightly stunned, and then his gaze at Liu Zheng changed, and after a long time, he spoke: "It turned out to be General Liu Zheng Liu!" Since it is General Liu, what you said, my old man believes it! We also have escaped from Qingzhou, and we have all heard from them! The old man, I can't accompany you! ”

Saying that Old Man Zhang was about to kneel, Liu Zheng quickly grabbed Old Man Zhang and said, "Old man, don't be like this, you are so old to kneel down for my little baby, I have to give ten years of life?" ”

"Let's stand and talk, stand and talk, haha!" Liu Zheng smiled and let go of Old Man Zhang.

"Old man, I don't know very well, boy, how can this gunsmith pay such a small salary?"

"What else?" Old Man Zhang sighed and said: "Why else, the craftsmen are all lowly, it would be good to give some money, and there are ......"

Old Man Zhang's eyes looked at Ge Si, who was sandwiched between two soldiers, Liu Zheng suddenly understood, and snorted: "Among you people, who is not a craftsman!" ”

The craftsmen didn't dare to say anything, but their eyes looked at the few people who had greeted Liu Zheng earlier, Liu Zheng was so angry in his heart, he waved his hand and said, "Pull it out and cut it!" ”

"Adults, adults spare their lives, spare their lives, the small ones have no choice, the little ones have ...... family"

The wailing did not arouse Liu Zheng's sympathy, but made Liu Zheng hate them even more in his heart, and after a few screams, Liu Zheng's mood was slightly better.

Glancing at the craftsmen, Liu Zheng took a deep breath and said: "I'll tell you the truth, since you have all been arrested by me Liu Zheng, it is impossible for me Liu Zheng to let you go again, I need you to make me cannons, birds, bows and arrows, and good knives and guns, but I will not treat you badly!" ”

"In my place, there is no such thing as a lowly person, everyone is equal, and those who have the ability will live better than others, especially you craftsmen!"

"Let's not talk about more, I will give you twenty taels of silver for those who make cannons, fifteen taels of silver for those who make birds, ten taels of silver for those who make bows and arrows, and five taels a month for swords!"

"If there is really a craft, and it is a craft that others will not know, I also have a reward, we are all Shandong masters, a pit of spit, so I Liu Zheng does not tell lies, big words, when you go to Qingzhou, to my craftsman camp, you can look around, ask around, I never treat people with ability!"

Liu Zheng didn't expect to be able to make these people bow to you all at once, take your time, and after a long time, you will know who he Liu Zheng is.

So after Liu Zheng finished speaking, he said a few words to Zhou Yun beside him, and then turned around and left, Zhou Yun politely invited the old man Zhang to come up, and followed Liu Zheng's footsteps towards the warehouse where the guns were stored.

When he arrived at the warehouse, Liu Zheng asked Mr. Zhang straight to the point: "Old man, what kind of cannon is this?" ”

Old Man Zhang was also very happy and didn't hide it: "This is the newly renovated Tiger Zun Cannon, which was originally pulled to North Korea to try!" ”

"Oh!" Liu Zheng nodded and said, "Then how much does this cannon weigh?" How far can you hit? How's the power? ”

Old Man Zhang pointed to one of the cannons and said, "This cannon is much heavier than the Tiger Squat Cannon used by General Qi, and it hits far and is powerful!" This cannon is built to not only attack the city, but also to hit people, so the muzzle of the cannon is large, the barrel is thick, when attacking the city, replace the solid iron cannon, like the city wall of Jiaozhou can be collapsed with more than a dozen cannons, but it is not far away, it is more than 200 steps, and when you beat people, you change the iron balls, and you can hit a large piece! ”

Yes, this cannon, a solid bullet hitting 200 steps is 300 meters, after all, this is a tiger squat gun, isn't it, the tiger squat cannon is equivalent to a mortar that gets up early, how far do you expect the mortar to hit?

"Since it's a tiger squat cannon, why don't you see the front paws?"

Old Man Zhang smiled and said: "Because this cannon is heavier than the ordinary tiger squat cannon, and the ordinary iron feet can't hold it, so my old man used two iron wheels!" (To be continued.) )
