"The grass people and others will knock to see the adults."

In the Yazhong of Yulin County, four old craftsmen saluted Shi Lei, this is the more than 90 craftsmen Shi Lei specially selected, all of them are old people, after all, in this era, the craftsmen's craftsmanship is unique, and it will not be passed on until the day of death.

"Ah, ah, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, a few old people, hurry up, hurry up, sit down and say, sit down and say." Of course, Shi Lei didn't dare to let these people make a big salute, this was a treasure in his hands!

After being helped up by Shi Lei, he heard a craftsman led by him speak, "Master, I don't know what to call us here, it is already a great grace for my lord to be able to shelter us who have left our hometowns, if there is an order, I will definitely do it." ”

From the tone of his voice, he could hear that this craftsman had also seen the world, otherwise, he would not have said such a level of words.

"Hahaha, don't be nervous, the reason why this official asked everyone to come is to find out what crafts you are good at, so that you can use them in the future, after all, you all have skills, which are different from those rough men." Shi Lei saw the nervousness of those craftsmen, so he said very easily.

Seeing Shi Lei's peace, all the craftsmen were secretly relieved, when they got the county official of the county government in the morning to inform the county order to see them, they were very nervous in their hearts, you know, they are not craftsmen, let alone see the officials, even the small officials are not something they can contact, usually there are things in the county, it is the officials who send them tasks, there is no benefit if they do it well, and it is common to be beaten and scolded if they do not do well.

"My lord, my surname is Zhang, he is a carpenter, this is a Kong craftsman, who is good at ironmaking, and this is a Feng craftsman, who is a fireworks." Although Shi Lei already knew the craftsmanship of these three, he had never seen a real person after all, so after hearing the introduction of this Zhang craftsman, Shi Lei finally matched the names and occupations of the three craftsmen in the hall.

After understanding, Shi Lei nodded, and said in an important way, "Three old people, the reason why the official invited a few people to come this time is because the three of them need to help the official do something, and I don't know how many of them are willing." ”

Hearing Shi Lei's words, the three of them were suddenly pleasantly surprised, you know, as craftsmen, the most useful thing is this skill, and now since the county lord wants them to do things, then they are not afraid of other things. Therefore, since he hurriedly said, "If the adult has something to say, the villain must obey the order." ”

"Okay, then Uncle Feng, since you are making fireworks, you don't know the ratio of gunpowder." After listening to the words of the three of them, Shi Lei asked very simply.

Hearing Shi Lei's question, the Feng craftsman who made fireworks suddenly laughed, and said, "My lord, if you ask anything else, the grass people don't dare to boast, if you ask about this gunpowder, the grass people dare to say, there is no one in the entire northwest region who knows more about gunpowder than my Feng family, and the fireworks prepared by our Feng family's gunpowder, if you want it to become, you can become whatever it wants, and it will not be wrong at all." ”

Regarding Feng Craftsman's boast, Shi Lei not only did not feel unhappy at all, but said excitedly, "Oh, I don't know what is the difference between the gunpowder made by the uncle and the one used by the military, and I don't know how much the power has decreased." ”

As soon as Shi Lei's words came out, Feng Jiangren's face suddenly frowned, and after a long time, he said with a little nervousness, "Lord Qiyu, if it were someone else, the villain would definitely have something to hide, but the adult was able to give me food when he first arrived, and he also recruited workers from us, so that we, the homeless people, would not starve to death, so the villain would tell the truth!"

To tell the truth, my Feng family ancestor was originally a craftsman in the Shenji camp, specializing in the development of gunpowder, but after the change of the civil fort, because of the defeat, so he fell to this Shaanxi, and later, my ancestor settled here, because he knew how to make gunpowder, so he made a living by making fireworks.

For the gunpowder in the army that the adults said, the villain also had some contact, but found that in the past hundred and ten years, in addition to being more refined, the gunpowder in the army was not much more powerful than in the early Ming Dynasty, and even inferior to the early Ming Dynasty in some aspects, but my Feng family has been developing gunpowder for generations, and the villain's father once developed a granular gunpowder, which is several times more powerful than the gunpowder in the army. ”

"What, you developed granular gunpowder, good, good, great, I didn't expect that I really met a master today." Hearing Feng Jiangren's words, even Shi Lei couldn't help jumping up violently, and his heart suddenly ran wildly, "Grandma, what is the situation, this is going against the sky, there was actually granular gunpowder in Daming, isn't it a joke!" ’

However, Shi Lei thought about it, and also felt that Craftsman Feng would not be joking, after all, this thing could see the effect immediately, if Craftsman Feng deceived himself now, he would not have any good results.

Seeing Shi Lei's excited appearance, Feng Craftsman was startled, and then said slowly, "Yes, my lord, those gunpowder are particles, they are made by my father, because the power is too great, so when I usually make fireworks, I can't use them at all, and the villain doesn't pay special attention to it, if the adult needs it, the villain will take him and give it to the adult." ”

Hearing Craftsman Feng's words, Shi Lei suddenly said happily, "Okay, okay, okay, you go and come back quickly, I'll wait here, bring me all those things, I'm going to try its power." ”

"Ah, hehehe, please don't blame the two uncles, the official was too excited just now, a little rude, okay, next, the official asked the two uncles to make me something, about the size of a palm, a hollow wooden handle, wrapped with fine iron, I don't know if the two uncles can make it." Seeing Craftsman Feng walking out quickly, Shi Lei said to the remaining two craftsmen.

"The adults tortured me to wait, and we were all very happy to see that we could help the adults, how could we blame it, as for the thing that the adults said, because we haven't seen it, we can't be sure, so we can only go back and give it a try, make some samples, and let the adults choose from them."

"Okay, it should be so, in this way, after you go back, just give it a try, I will let people follow you, in the process, no matter what you need, you can tell him, just be sure to hurry, after the matter is completed, the official will be rewarded."

"My lord, my lord, it's not good, it's not good, it's outside, there's a fight outside."

Just as Shi Lei was talking happily with a few craftsmen, a county official quickly ran in and shouted loudly.

Hearing the shout of the little official, Shi Lei suddenly walked out of the hall quickly, and then said, "It's a fight, what's going on, why is there a fight, and who are the people who are fighting." ”

Seeing Shi Lei appear, the little official gasped and said, "My lord, it was those homeless people who fought with the people of Yulin. ”

Half a day later, Shi Lei finally understood the reason for the fight outside, it turned out that the reason why Shi Lei recruited displaced people to repair the city wall, in addition to preparing for future wars, another important reason was to be able to solve the problem of those displaced people, so he just asked Jia Hanqing to recruit workers among those displaced people at the beginning.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as the conditions for his recruitment were posted, not only did the displaced people flock to it, but even the locals in Yulin were also moved, you know, everywhere, there are many poor people and few rich people, and Yulin was originally a border place, so the people here are generally poor after all.

Five cents a day, a meal at noon, such a generous condition, plus now is the time of farming, who is not impressed, but when these Yulin locals came to the recruitment office, they were rejected by those recruiting officials.

Seeing such a good thing, their own people did not fall, but cheapened those outsiders, how can those locals endure it, yesterday day, with more and more locals who came to recruit workers, to today, they finally broke out.

The reason for the incident was that one of the homeless people smiled and said to the locals, 'This is an errand given to us by the county magistrate, you people should go home and sleep honestly!' ’

It was this sentence that aroused the anger of the angry local, and he punched it in a hurry, which completely made the anger of the locals explode, and as more and more people joined in, the entire city gate has now become a mess.

After knowing the reason, Shi Lei couldn't help but sigh, saying that there was no hair on his mouth and he couldn't do things well, it seemed that he still lacked experience, otherwise, if he had thought of these things in advance, how could this happen.

Seeing the sad expression on Shi Lei's face, he heard Zhang Craftsman say, "My lord, if the adults don't dislike it, we two old immortals are willing to persuade those homeless people, we can't do anything else, but we can still persuade those ignorant rabbit cubs." ”

Hearing the words of the two craftsmen, Shi Lei nodded and said, "Okay, so it will trouble the two old people, hey, it is the official's lack of thought that will cause this situation, after you go, you must appease those people well, they are all young people, they are strong, don't be too harsh." ”

After sending the two old craftsmen away, Shi Lei said to Chitu beside him, "Chitu, it's up to you now, bring all your people, follow me to the city gate to maintain order, remember, don't kill anyone, otherwise, we will be more troublesome in the future." ”

After Chitu took the order, Shi Lei also walked quickly to the city gate.
