"A lot of ...... have been exterminated"

Liu Yuanshan gently repeated this sentence, but it has two meanings when understood: the first is that the combat capability of the government is quite good, and it has exterminated a lot of bandits in Gucheng and Yunxian; The second is that there are also quite a few surviving bandits.

It's time to come, it's still here after all!

Liu Yuanshan sighed, not for himself, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and all living beings in the world.

Due to the influence of the Xiaoice River, in just a few decades at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the population of the world was reduced by more than half, which was still after the introduction of American corn and sweet potatoes.

"What about Fang County?" Liu Yuanshan asked again.

Gucheng and Yunxian are both subordinate counties of Xiangyang Prefecture, on both sides of the Han River to the west of Xiangyang Prefecture, although the traffic is not very convenient, but it is located in the junction of Shaanxi, Hubei and Sichuan, business travel is frequent, and it is understandable that some robberies and robberies occur.

"Fang County has not found this situation yet!" Second Uncle Mao's face was full of sadness.

That's it!

Liu Yuanshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if there is a bandit in Liujia Village or the backing town, his future development will not be so smooth, fortunately, Fang County is located in a remote area, it is difficult to enter and exit, and even the homeless people cannot cross the three hundred miles of the next mountain road, so at present, the number of people in Shaanxi is limited, and it cannot become a climate.

Even so, Liu Yuanshan felt the urgency of time.

It seems that industrialization and firearms are going to be organized!

Liu Yuanshan secretly calculated in his heart, and at the same time arched his hand to Second Uncle Mao and said: "Thank you Second Uncle Mao for telling me, you are tired for many days, go back and rest first, I will go back and ask for advice in person." ”

"Okay, I'll go first!"

I had a simple meal at noon, and seeing that everyone had pork belly in their bowls, those people were so excited that there was even a person with a wooden head who cried on the spot, and thought that he would eat a severed head for himself!

In the afternoon, the newlyweds will be divided into residences and houses!

The Han family's mother-in-law, Han Shi, and daughter Han Xiaoya lived in the front yard of the Liu family, and Han Laotie, his son and the rest of the people were all divided into Qianning Temple, and each of them not only shared a bed, but also a thick quilt.

In the afternoon, Liu Yuanshan called Han Laotie and his son Han Congwen to the Heavenly King's Palace, and the gentle Chaohan Laotie asked, "You are also a blacksmith, I don't know how the craftsmanship is?" ”

Han Laotie just thought that Liu Yuanshan had come to investigate his deception, but he didn't expect the master to ask about his craftsmanship first, so he showed a little confidence at this time, straightened his waist slightly bent slightly, and said: "Back to the young master's words, although Xiao Lao'er's craftsmanship is not good, it is okay." ”

"What about you?" Liu Yuanshan pointed at Han Congwen and asked.

"I ......"

"Young Master" Han Laotie interrupted his words without waiting for his son's answer, knelt down and said: "Young Master, my old man can do this knocking and beating thing alone, Congwen He has all the strength, I hope the young master will give him a favor and let him do crop work, he also likes farming!" ”

Han Congwen listened to his father's words, quickly retracted the words that came to his mouth, and said, "Yes, yes, young master, I like farming, you let me do the crops." ”

Liu Yuanshan didn't blame the two of them for talking back, comparing the Han family to the fact that they didn't know that they had been blacksmiths since hundreds of years ago, and until Han Laotie's life, it was enough for their children and grandchildren to live a precarious life, which he could understand.

"I don't want to be a blacksmith!" Liu Yuanshan smiled and said, "Okay, it's okay if you want to do crop work, but I'm afraid you will regret it in the future!" Don't blame me for not reminding you! ”

"No regrets, no regrets!" Han Laotie waved his hand and said, "Little Lao'er, thank you for your great kindness, young master." ”

"That'll do!" Liu Yuanshan pointed at Han Congwen and said, "You go outside to find a reporter, and he will arrange your training and work." He said to Han Lao Tie again: "You come with me!" ”

Liu Yuanshan took Han Laotie into the back of the temple, and built two simple workshops in the open space behind, the workshop was empty and almost nothing, only two stoves and a simple forging platform, and then a few rough primary tools made by the little blacksmith Hong Zongwei, of course, there was a pile of steel that had been smelted before.

Seeing the master coming, the busy life and Hong Zongwei hurriedly came over to greet him.

Liu Yuanshan pointed at Han Laotie and was about to introduce, but saw that this old guy grabbed a crooked iron rod behind him as if he was enchanted, and his eyes were shining, and he said two words in his mouth: Good iron!

Just by looking at a glance, you can see the quality of iron, and you can know the quality by touching it, and with this, Liu Yuanshan feels that he has earned it.

"How?" Liu Yuanshan was a little proud.

Han Laotie nodded, gently slammed the two identical steel ingots slightly twice, listened to the sound, turned around and saluted Liu Yuanshan, and said, "Young master, this iron is not ordinary, I have been dealing with this thing for many years, and I have only seen this quality of iron a few times." ”

Most of the iron of this quality that Han Laotie had seen before was refined by chance.

"You've seen it too?" Liu Yuanshan said strangely.

"I've seen it, but not much! Good iron, good iron! Han Laotie rubbed this steel ingot and was amazed again.

"This is not iron, the young master said, this is steel!" Hong Zongwei took the iron tongs he made and corrected Han Laotie.

Han Lao Tie smiled slightly on his yellow face, stretched out his hand to snatch the iron tongs, and said contemptuously: "Iron is good iron, but the pliers are made like this, and they are blind!" ”

"You're talking nonsense!" Hong Zongwei's face turned red.

I also feel a little uncomfortable in my life, after all, although the craftsmanship is not good, this thing was made up by the two of them.

Only Liu Yuanshan is laughing secretly, some people don't need to be tempted, just listen to the pride in the words to know how the craftsmanship is.

So, he told Han Laotie about the task given to Hong Zongwei and the others some time ago, and then asked, "Can you complete the task?" ”

Han Laotie didn't answer immediately, but after repeatedly asking the principle and general appearance of the winch, he patted his chest confidently: "It should be able to be made." ”

"But young master, I can't do it with such a tool, I have to make a few handy tools first!"

After touching his own domain, Han Laotie's self-confidence immediately returned.

"Okay, whatever you want! I'll give you a month to make these things for me. ”

Who knew that Han Laotie waved his hand, "It won't take a month, it will be done in ten days!" ”

"That's better!" Liu Yuanshan squinted at Han Laotie, then took a deep breath and said: "After making these things, I have two other things for you to do, if you can still complete the task, I will give your son a household registration!" ”

After Han Laotie heard this, his body suddenly shook! (To be continued.) )
