"That's still false, this is the chief flag manager of Yong'an Fort, and he was already a hundred households some time ago. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shi Gang said with a laugh.

After hearing this, the stall owner hurriedly knelt on the ground, folded his hands and kept worshipping back and forth, and Shi Gang hurriedly stepped forward to help him after seeing Xiao Yi's eyes.

Xiao Yi comforted the stall owner, "The stall owner doesn't have to be like this, there is still an aunt at home, right?" ”

The stall owner got up with Shi Gang's support, "My lord, just call the old man Han Dong (handong), the old man's house is nearby, do you want to go and see." ”

Xiao Yi looked at the sky after listening to it, it was still early. "It's okay, please ask Brother Han to lead the way."

Turning his head to Shi Gang, he said, "Old Shi, hurry up and help my brother clean up the stall." Shi Gang heard the answer and hurried to help.

Han Dong said while cleaning up the stall: "The old man can't be an adult. Xiao Yi watched the two clean up the stall, and already had some ideas in his heart.

He smiled and said, "Deserved, deserved." ”

Then the three of them walked out of the noisy street and entered a relatively secluded path, in which Xiao Yi and the others led their horses and followed behind Han Dong.

Xiao Yi looked at the low earthen wall in the path and frowned, "Brother Han lives here?" ”

Han Dong saw Xiao Yi's expression, and nodded helplessly, "Alas, it's good for people like us to have a place to live, at least there is a small courtyard, but we can barely have something to eat for a day, it's almost here, two adults, please come with me." ”

Xiao Yi looked at these low little earthen houses, never thought that there was such a magnificent atmosphere outside the city, but there was such a place inside the city.

As Han Dong walked and saw an earthen wall, Han Dong patted the door, "Old woman, open the door quickly, there is a guest." ”

A woman's voice of agreement sounded inside the door, and Xiao Yi listened carefully, but there was still a little girl's voice.

As the wooden door creaked open, an old woman entered the eyes of Xiao Yi and the others.

The old woman was wearing a gray-black Han family coarse cloth regular clothes, and saw Xiao Yi and the others hurriedly get out of the way, "Hurry up, two adults, please come in!" ”

Xiao Yi walked to the wooden door and took a closer look, the wooden door was still covered with loess and was very low. Xiao Yi walked in as soon as he bent over, and so did Shi Gang.

Xiao Yi walked in and saw a woman and a little girl. This little girl looked like she was about a teenager, her face was so dark that she couldn't tell what she looked like, and her hair was dirty.

The girl looked at Xiao Yi and the others a little frightened behind the woman, the woman beckoned Han Dong to pass, and the two whispered something, Xiao Yi didn't care, just looked around with Shi Gang.

"Two adults, are you really from Yong'an Fort over there?" The woman asked, suspiciously.

Xiao Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Han's craft can be of great use in Tunpu, it's a pity to put it here." You might as well follow me back to the fort. ”

Although Shi Gang didn't understand what Xiao Yi was going to do to recruit this old man, he also said with a smile, "Follow us adults, eat three full meals, and pay a separate salary!" ”

Xiao Yi glared at Shi Gang, "You are everywhere!" Shi Gang touched his head and smiled.

Han Dong and the woman suddenly knelt down with the girl, and the girl didn't know so she had to kneel down with the two of them, looking at Xiao Yi pitifully.

Xiao Yi and the others hurriedly stepped forward to help, "My lord, can you bring our daughter to the castle too, she has a small meal, and she won't cause too much burden to the adults." ”

"Mother-in-law, what did you say, I just went out for the sake of you two mothers, if we are separated, then what is the use of me earning money." Han Dong heard the anger and shouted.

But the woman did not care about this, "My lord, take our daughter with you, she will not survive here." ”

Xiao Yi felt that something was wrong after hearing this, and asked, "Why can't you live, I saw that everything here was still alive when I came." ”

After the woman was helped up by Shi Gang, she said, "My lord doesn't know, the people in this area are people who have no livelihood, waiting for death here." The judge of the government office fell in love with our little girl, so he had to take it away and be a concubine. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Yi glanced at the little girl with a black face hidden behind the woman, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see her face, the little girl she saw was hiding deeper, Xiao Yi asked, "How can there be no livelihood, this city is much better than my small tunbao." ”

Han Dong sighed: "My lord, I don't know anything here, we don't even have an acre of land, the land is occupied by big businessmen and those officials, what do we rely on to make a living, I also know some crafts, and occasionally I can earn some money, and the rest of the people have no land or cattle, so they can only go out to beg, and there are many people who starve to death here every day." ”

Xiao Yi laughed after hearing this, the woman and Han Dong didn't know why, even the little girl looked at Xiao Yi blankly.

Shi Gang also laughed, "I was originally a seven-grade judge, don't be afraid, my eldest brother is a sixth-grade hundred-household official, and he also serves as the Changning Fort management team." ”

Xiao Yi also said, "Brother Han, you can relax, go to Yong'an Fort, and divide your twenty acres of land!" ”

"Two, twenty acres? This, this, this. Han Dong was stunned again, there were too many strange things encountered today, and some of them couldn't react.

Xiao Yi was also relieved after hearing this, thinking that these two people had provoked some powerful people, and it would be difficult to do. But I didn't expect that he was just a seventh-grade judge, but what I didn't understand was that such a seventh-grade minor official could also oppress the people like this?

Although the Ming Dynasty was noble and cheap at this time, he was also responsible for the defense of Tunbao and had real power in his hands, unlike the hereditary hundreds of households in the city of this state, even if he was a judge, he had to weigh it.

"My brother just needs to pack up the house, and when the sun sets, the two of us will pick up my brother again."

Han Dong had anything else to ask, but Xiao Yi continued, "Oh yes, bring your sister-in-law and children with you." Then he and Shi Gang walked out of the courtyard, leaving the three of them facing each other, and they still had nothing to do.

Out of the alley, back on the street, still so crowded.

Xiao Yi and the others inquired about a local person named Weaving Teng Basket and learned that the nearest rice shop was called Guihe Rice Shop, which was two streets away. Xiao Yi and the others thanked them, and then they sped up and walked towards Guihe Rice Shop.

Passing through the two streets, Xiao Yi and the two arrived in front of the rice shop, but the rice shop in this state city is really not like the average thousand households, the atmosphere is a lot, a plaque on the door is four big characters, 'Guihe rice shop', but it looks very magnificent, the door of the store is wide open, and there are a lot of pedestrians.

When Xiao Yi and the others arrived at the door of the rice shop, a man came to help tie the horses, and the two walked into the rice shop.

When I went in, I saw an old man happily waiting on the side, the shopkeeper was a woman, and he personally weighed the rice there, and he also asked happily, "Uncle Zhong is so happy about something." ”

Zhong Yang looked at the woman and weighed the rice, "Yesterday, I changed the old-fashioned three-eyed gun, and this time the range has been increased a lot, and I am happy." ”

After hearing this, the female shopkeeper disagreed, and sighed, "You, you see that you have studied the three-eyed gun all your life, why don't you hear about it." Who knows your skills, and how can you not get into the Crafts Division with your skills? ”

Zhong Yang disagreed, "Is there any adult who can take a fancy to my little old man's skills, as long as he is happy." When I thought of the past, I sighed a little.

Xiao Yi was very shocked after hearing this, he improved the three-eyed gun, and such cattle are still in the people?

Xiao Yi immediately stepped forward and hugged his fist, "Dare to ask Uncle Zhong, why are you sighing?" ”

Zhong Yang waved his hand, "That's it, don't mention the past." ”

Xiao Yi didn't want to mention it, so he didn't ask any more, "How far can Uncle Zhong's three-eyed gun shoot now?" ”

Zhong Yang glanced at Xiao Yi: "Most of the three-eyed guns in the years and months can only take more than twenty steps now, and now this one in my hand can be thirty steps away." ”

Xiao Yi nodded after hearing this, the best range of the Three-Eyed Gun is indeed more than thirty steps, and it is not easy for this old man to develop it to thirty steps away by himself, and he suddenly has the heart to solicit.

"Uncle Zhong can make birds?" Xiao also asked, in fact, what he wants most now is the three-eyed gun.

As far as he knew, the normal range of a bird's gun was up to eighty paces away, and it was extremely powerful.

Qi Jiajun is mostly equipped with this kind of bird gun, but the manufacturing is quite laborious, in order to make the bird gun, first need to be familiar with the skills of craftsmen, followed by the casting materials also have to pass.

Xiao Yi had already asked Qi Lao and the three of them, and learned that they couldn't make firearms, and they couldn't find craftsmen who could make firearms, that is, they no longer thought about firearms.

Now that he is fortunate to meet a hidden folk master, how could Xiao Yi not be tempted.

After hearing this, Zhong Yang thought for a while, "The old man has also studied it, but he is not skilled in making three-eyed guns. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Yi said, "Whether Uncle Zhong can provide me with firearms in Tunpu, Xiao can't guarantee anything else, but Uncle Zhong can do his best to meet his daily needs, do his best to help Uncle Zhong research firearms, and ask Uncle Zhong to come to Tunpu to help me." ”

Zhong Yang made a difficulty, seeing that the person in front of him should not be too old, he said this, but he was dressed in a common person's attire, and asked tentatively, "The old man dares to ask where the young man is in office?" ”

Xiao Yiyi clenched his fists, "Xiao is not talented, and he is now the official of Yong'an Fort." ”

After hearing this, Zhong Yang looked like he suddenly realized, "My lord, forgive the old man for being slack." ”
