"If you and the old man move places, you will be able to understand my thoughts." Old Man Chu said seriously: "The old man's belongings can't be handed over to a chaotic minister and thief like Zhaoshanhe anyway, if it is handed over to the emperor, the emperor will inevitably distribute it to the Ministry of Industry." Hmph, how could the old man's life's work fall into the hands of that group of wastes in the Ministry of Industry! The old man thought about it and handed it over to the little brother to be the most suitable. ”

Old Man Chu looked at Qin Baichuan and said: "Don't blame the old man for being sleek, after signing the contract, this property is yours, how to deal with the emperor and the righteous king in the future is your own business, even if you cause trouble, whether it is the righteous king or the emperor, it is also your little brother Qin's head that is cut off, and the old man always has an excuse to shirk." Moreover, Brother Qin has no time to take care of it, so he must 'entrust' the old man to help develop it, which is also in line with the old man's wishes. Three, if Brother Qin is crowned the king and worships the prime minister in the future, the old man has today's merits, and if he wants to come to Brother Qin, he will also give me an official to do. ”

"Old man, thank you for your kindness." Old Man Chu's words seem reasonable, but in fact, many places can't stand scrutiny, but in the end, the old man expressed the same meaning, if you give you something, you have to ask for it, and you have to ask for it. Qin Baichuan bowed down and clenched his fists, and solemnly signed the three big characters of Qin Baichuan on the transfer contract.

After Qin Baichuan signed his name, the old man's life's work was no longer surnamed Chu, of course, Qin Baichuan would not have the intention of taking advantage of the old man, but from the perspective of the Great Song Law, the property of Fu Python Mountain has completely belonged to Qin Baichuan. Qin Baichuan's face was strange, but the old man smiled as if he was relieved, and cherished the contract in his arms.

"Brother Qin, the old man has a few things to remind you." After talking about the firecracker, the old man shifted the topic to the secret base that had just been given to Qin Baichuan: "From this moment on, Fu Python Mountain has nothing to do with the old man, the four old men can lend you as the master master, but the rest of the craftsmen need you to recruit by yourself." ”

The old man said seriously: "In the research and development stage of the firebolt, it is enough to have five of us old guys, but once Brother Qin wants to achieve mass production, or develop new things in the future, you need to have your own team." It's not that the old man is unwilling to lend you these people from the Chu family's workshop, it's just that these people are ordinary people, you can't ask them for absolute loyalty to you, and the fire gun is very important, if there is any mistake, the old man can't afford it. ”

"Old man, I'm in a mess right now, where can I find a craftsman?" After taking the Python Mountain, Qin Baichuan was a little misty and couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.

"It doesn't matter if it's a mess, with the help of the old man, it will soon be able to form a scale." Old Man Chu thought about everything for Qin Baichuan: "Didn't you take in some craftsmen in the Bliss Army?" The old man suggested that a second echelon be formed to hone his temperament, and they didn't need to be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, at least let them clarify the confidentiality regulations proposed by Brother Qin, let them know what the benefits of following you are, and what the punishment is for making mistakes...... This kind of combination of grace and power, Brother Qin is smarter than me, and the old man will no longer bother with words. ”

Qin Baichuan nodded, the old man meant to improve the overall quality of craftsmen, so that they could be well engaged in work in the future. To put it simply, once the firearm forms a combat effectiveness, it will inevitably cause the covetousness of all forces, and if someone leaks the secret, Qin Baichuan's rear will be in chaos. Giving these craftsmen a preventive shot first, although it cannot eliminate the possibility of leaks, but it is always a bit of a deterrent.

"There are those organs of the old man, as long as it is not a large-scale march, Fu Python Mountain should be regarded as the most secret and safest place in Jiangling, and Brother Qin might as well use it as his own arsenal, and it is convenient to go back and forth." Old Man Chu said again: "The only thing left for Little Brother Qin to do is to invite a master to help Little Brother take care of his daily affairs. ”

"Old man, the master doesn't need it, right?" Qin Baichuan refused: "I'll go back and let people train craftsmen, and when they can be of great use, they will all be handed over to you, old man, isn't that okay?" ”

"Nope." Old Man Chu decisively vetoed: "Fu Python Mountain is now your industry, and the old man is only assisting from the side, so he will inevitably break away." If the old man has been blending in, then Fu Python Mountain is yours and mine, what else is the difference? Brother Qin, don't worry, the old man already has a candidate in his heart, but I don't know if you can get it. ”

"Do you have to hire someone else?" Qin Baichuan was a little troubled, in his opinion, who in the world can still be stronger than the old man Chu, with such a living bodhisattva, what kind of wild ghost should he invite?

"Brother Qin, don't underestimate the talents in this world." The old man obviously saw Qin Baichuan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The old man thinks that he is unique, and the technique of arranging the formation is unparalleled in the world, but in terms of the strange and obscene skills alone, the old man admires the other person very much, and his methods in these sophisticated things are even better than the old man." ”

"The old man is modest, if it is really like what you said, why were you the secretary of the Ministry of Industry back then, but Baichuan had never heard of that person's name?" Qin Baichuan didn't believe it.

"How can the old man lie to you?" The old man smiled: "In fact, the emperor also issued an edict to him back then, according to the rules of the great song, the emperor's holy decree is a great joy, and it is inevitable to give the little eunuch who passed on the decree some benefits, but not only did he not give it, but when the little eunuch opened his mouth to ask for it, he scolded him even more...... The little eunuch went back to tell the emperor, which completely ruined his career. ”

Old Man Chu smiled: "The old man told you this, just to tell you that this guy has a strange temper, if he can change his temperament, I am afraid that the old man back then can only give him a hand." However, it's okay like this, if he enters the court, there will inevitably be a big mess. ”

"People who can't even be invited by the emperor, I'm afraid I can't invite either, right?" Qin Baichuan was a little inert and was reluctant to invite any masters.

"Please don't get it, you have to try it." Old Man Chu said seriously: "Little Brother Qin, you don't want to be an old man to coax you, how about Mr. Kong Ming's wooden ox and flowing horse in "Three Kingdoms Commentary"? This strange man has such a method. If you can bring him in, maybe your idea of a sniper rifle will be realized? ”

"Uh......" Qin Baichuan can't make up his mind this time, Da Song really has such a number one person?

"You go and ask for it first, and then think of other ways if you don't invite the old man." Old Man Chu groaned for a moment.

"It's okay to go please, just ...... Old man, what is his name and where does he live? Qin Baichuan asked again.

"Oh, the old man forgot, his name is very interesting, his name is Wu Erya, and he lives in Qingshui Town, thirty miles outside Jiangling City." Old Man Chu couldn't help but laugh.

"Wu Erya? Could it be that this senior is a woman? Qin Baichuan said in confusion.

"Haha, I knew you would have this question! The old man tells you that Wu Erya is a man, a pure man! Because of this name, he suffered from shame for half his life, and many people persuaded him to change his name, but he didn't listen! Old Man Chu laughed enough before he said: "You may not have heard of Wu Erya, but his elder brother Brother Wu thinks you will know that he is the shopkeeper who opened a shoe store in Jinxiufang!" ”

"Is that him?" Qin Baichuan had a vague impression, that the old store of the Wu family was the place where he bought Bubu Shenglian for Xu Xiu, and the maid who sold the goods at that time relayed the words of their shopkeeper, saying that the shoes are for wearing, and if the shoes are not worn, if the shoes have a spirit, they will be unhappy, at that time, Qin Baichuan felt that this shopkeeper was a little unusual.

"Yes, that's him." The old man yawned: "Brother Wu has no other hobbies in this life, he only likes to drink, and the old man's apricot blossom brew is his favorite." In this way, when you go to visit Wu Erya, go to meet Brother Wu first, bring the old man's wine, and make sure that he will help you. ”

Before Qin Baichuan could speak, Sect Tan knocked on the door outside the door, hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Qin, there is a message from the family, and those two Westerners have come to look for you." ”

"Oh, that's right, let them in." Qin Baichuan kept Wu Erya's matter in mind for the time being, and commanded.

The head of the Tan Sect led the order, and it didn't take long for two tall figures to appear at the door, after more than a month of cultivation, the original hardship and loneliness of the two Westerners were gone, it may be that the food in the Chu Family Workshop and the Bliss Sect was good, and Abraham was obviously a little fatter. After seeing Qin Baichuan, the two of them were even more happy, rushed over and drew a cross on their chests, and Qin Baichuan also clasped his fists and saluted.

“MR. Hello Qin! Zhu Geguli waved his hand at Qin Baichuan, and spit out two raw and hard words in his mouth.

"Well, it's only been a month, and you've mastered the eulogy?" Qin Baichuan asked with a smile, seeing that both of them showed a kind of broken egg expression, Qin Baichuan knew that it was estimated that these two people could simply use a few Chinese characters, so he said it again in Western dialect.

The two of them laughed, Qin Baichuan asked them about their recent situation in Western dialect, they had a very good time during this time, they helped out in the Chu family's workshop in the morning, and they went back later if there were many things in the afternoon, and they would go back early if they had nothing to do. After returning to the Bliss, he took the Blissful people to repent and pray. Although they don't understand the language, they also have their own teachings when they join the Cult of Bliss, and they all bow down anyway, and those members of the Cult of Bliss do not refuse, and some even learn their way to sincerely repent, which makes the two of them reap great satisfaction.

“MR. Qin，Look！ After chatting about common things, Zhu Geguli took out a long cylinder from his arms as if offering a treasure and handed it to Qin Baichuan.

"Telescopes?" Qin Baichuan's eyes lit up, and he took the telescope in his hand and looked at it carefully, this telescope was obviously just created, and the material was made of copper, which was heavy and textured in his hand. Qin Baichuan focused on studying the lens, and found that this lens didn't know how they were refined, the mirror was spherical, slightly dull yellow, obviously the purity was not enough. Qin Baichuan squinted one eye and looked at it, although it was not as good as the pure glass mirror they brought, but this telescope could also see far away, and the effect was barely passable.
