It's hard to make friends with someone, and sometimes, you can't serve him as a son. But if you want to offend someone, it's quite easy, and sometimes, all it takes is a few words!

It's not terrible to offend a gentleman, it's not terrible to offend a villain, the most terrible thing is to offend a hypocrite!

The next day, when Tian Fan arrived at the craftsman camp, he met the former person in charge of the craftsman camp, the current Tun Tian Zhonglang general Fei Wo. At this time, Fei Wo no longer had the anxiety of the day. This guy is dusty, haggard, and the smile that can overflow from the bottom of his heart can't be concealed even if he wants to.

In addition to him, Xie Qi, who was in charge of the Pumushroom Experimental Base, was also there, and he was also full of smiles.

Ma Jun and Zhao Shan were talking with them, and the content of the conversation all involved the waterwheel that had just been promoted.

When Tian Fan came in, the four of them hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Tian Fan waved his hand and said, "Sit down!" As he spoke, he looked at Fei Wo and Xie Qi, and said, "I can see him often, but I rarely see him, hehe." If you're okay today, how about I give you a drink? ”

Without waiting for them to answer, Tian Fan said to Ma Jun, Zhao Shan and the others: "And you, Deheng, Zhao Lao, you have worked hard during this time, and you have not rested for more than two months. Call Master Pu and them again, and everyone will be lively and lively together. Also, hehe, I have something I want to tell you about. ”

The four of them glanced at each other, clasped their fists together, and said, "In this way, it is better for me to be respectful than to obey my fate!" ”

A group of craftsmen, Ma Jun, Pu Yuan, Zhang Sheng, Zhao Shan, Liu Zheng, Zhang Xiang, and agricultural experts Xie Qi and Fei Wo, who were also heavily used by Liu Bei for their partial agronomy, plus Tian Fan, a total of nine people. Tian Fan asked Li Liang to be called again, and ten people were gathered.

Alcohol is not allowed in the craftsman camp, but fortunately there is a special place for reception outside the craftsman camp. When he was in the construction of the craftsman camp, he had considered this problem, for example, when Liu Bei and others entered the craftsman camp, in order to prevent leakage, he could only take Xu Chu and Xu Ding in, and the rest of them naturally had to wait outside. There is a row of houses outside the craftsman's camp, which is a special reception area.

Today, it is rare that Liu Beijun's talents in charge of craftsmanship are all here. Tian Fan had long wanted to invite them all together to drink and chat, and he naturally would not let go of this unexpected and rare opportunity today.

Picking up the wine glass, Tian Fan smiled and said: "Everyone, you people are the busiest people in my Xuzhou, and you are also the great heroes of our Xuzhou." Without you, we in Xuzhou would not have enough weapons and armor, and we would not have enough food. Hehe, this first cup, I want to salute you! Thank you for doing so much for Xuzhou! ”

Everyone said in unison: "Don't dare, don't dare, your lord is polite!" These are our duties, and we should do our best. ”

Ma Jun's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Mr. Tian, hehe, speaking of which, your achievements in my craftsman camp are indispensable!" Therefore, I propose, this glass of wine, we respect Mr. Tian! ”

Everyone admired Tian Fan very much, and after listening to Ma Jun's proposal, they immediately responded.

Tian Fan shook his head again and again, and said: "Deheng, everyone, it's not me pretending to be a gesture, this first glass of wine, I really respect you!" ”

The crowd stopped the noise and listened to him quietly.

Tian Fan continued: "Yes, I, Tian Fan, have a lot of ideas, and they are very good ideas. But I can't do it myself, because I only think, I don't do it. It is precisely because of you that many of my ideas can be turned into reality, weapons and armor, and agricultural tools. So, this first glass of wine, to you! I'll do it first! ”

After that, without waiting for them to speak, Tian Fan drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. …,

When everyone saw it, they had to serve him a cup.

After drinking, Ma Jun wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and said with emotion: "Sir, my Ma Jun is arrogant on weekdays, and in terms of craftsmanship, except for a few old gentlemen, I don't accept anyone!" However, since I came into contact with him, I have realized how ignorant and ridiculous I am. Many of the things that I am proud of are not worth mentioning in the hands of my husband......"

As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "For example, the waterwheel, Mr.'s design, can directly use water power to lift water...... This kind of design is something that no one has ever dreamed of. Hehe, now I'm not afraid of Mr. jokes, when there was a drought the year before last, I had hollowed out my mind to design a drought-resistant weapon, and I also had a rough outline in my heart. However, Jun's thinking has always been limited to manpower-driven water lifting, and I just think about saving manpower so that people don't have to work so hard to get water. But sir, you directly thought of using water power to drive the whole process of taking water, and even, the waterwheel has other functions besides taking water......"

Taking a sip of wine, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Mr.'s talent is really superior!" ”

Pu Yuan said: "Yes, Mr.'s talent, I really can't use common sense. Take fine iron......

Tian Fan thought about it, and estimated that the rest of the people would continue to say after Pu Yuan finished speaking, if that was the case, it would be over! He hurriedly interrupted Pu Yuan's words and said, "Okay, okay, everyone don't talk about it!" I'm still the same sentence, I, a craftsman, will only think that the specific manufacturing needs to be completed by you. To put it mildly, I Tian Fan is the brain, you are my right and left hands, none of us can do without anyone, but I am more dependent on you, you don't have me, you are still a rare skilled craftsman in the world, but if I leave you, then even if I have all kinds of ingenuity, I still can't play the work of craftsmanship! So, I toast you with a second glass of wine, come, go! ”

With that, he picked up the cup and drank it all again. When everyone saw it, they had to drink it.

After drinking the wine, Tian Fan saw that Pu Yuan wanted to continue, and hurriedly said: "Master Pu, don't praise me anymore, I also know that I am very good, as soon as you praise it, we don't have to do anything else today, I just listen to your sycophants." It's not good, I can't finish boasting today, and I have to continue to praise tomorrow! Haha......"

Everyone laughed loudly, and they also thought that Tian Fan's words made sense. Although his words are exaggerated, if everyone touts it for a while, it will be really a long time, but I am afraid that I will not be able to do anything today.

After laughing for a while, Tian Fan looked at Ma Jun and said, "Deheng, I have too many things, I haven't cared about the craftsmen in the craftsman camp for a long time, I know that they are all busy, but how much do they have now?" ”

Ma Jun replied with a smile: "Hehe, sir, the lord is merciful, some time ago, he has raised the price of the craftsman's camp to five stones, which is enough to feed the family!" ”

Tian Fan bowed slightly, and after that, he frowned, shook his head slowly, and said: "Five stones, just a soldier's money, only enough to feed a family, not even a little money left!" Hey, it's still disproportionate to the efforts of the craftsmen and the people. ”

After a slight pause, Tian Fan asked, "Are all craftsmen five stones?" ”

Ma Jun nodded and said, "Yes, it's all five stones!" ”

"Foreman, where's the boss? What about you? ”

"The foreman is fifteen stones per month, the first thirty stones per month, Zhao Lao, Zhang Lao and Pu Yuan are all fifty stones. My highest, eight hundred stone per year. ”

Tian Fan nodded, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Everyone, I have a few opinions, I want to talk to you!" ”

Ma Jundao: "Sir, please speak!" ”

Tian Fan's eyebrows were twisted together, and he said with some sour teeth: "The craftsmen of the craftsman camp, the salary is too low!" Of course, compared to the rest of the place, it is indeed not low. However, now that we are in Xuzhou, even the most ordinary soldiers can get five stones, and they can get twenty stones when they first enter the camp and trap the camp. Therefore, the soldiers of the craftsman battalion must have their wages raised! ”…,

After a slight pause, he continued: "In addition, I think that all craftsmen are the same, which is not suitable! They are all the same, but the quality and diligence of people are different, some do well, some do not do well, some work more, some work less, so for those hard-working, good craftsmen, it is too unfair! …… Well, I think so, all the craftsmen in the craftsman camp are divided into five categories: apprentices, small craftsmen, middle craftsmen, master craftsmen, and craftsmen according to the level of level, the number of productions, the proportion of qualified products, and other factors.

"Among them, the apprentice gets five stones of grain, the small craftsman gets ten stones, and the middle master takes thirty stones a month, and as for the master craftsman...... According to the annual salary, 800 stone per year. The craftsman is the highest and the most demanding, and must be a person with high craftsmanship and the ability to invent and create. ”

Glancing at everyone, Tian Fan smiled and said: "You people, hehe, all belong to the category of craftsmen, and you are on the same level as the lieutenant colonel and lieutenant of the army." ”

"Hiss", full of inhalations! On par with the lieutenant? That's 2,000 stones, according to the practice of Xuzhou, after Yu Lu turns over, that's 4,000 stones! What is this concept?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Tian Fan smiled slightly and said, "Of course, this is because craftsmen are rare." A craftsman must be like you, not only have superb craftsmanship, but also be able to invent and create new things, whether it is military or people's livelihood, as long as it is an invention and creation, he is qualified to be a craftsman. Craftsmen, regardless of age, are only interested in craftsmanship and invention.

"Craftsmen are divided into ranks, and in order to get a higher salary and a higher status, they are bound to work harder, and their enthusiasm for invention and creation will also increase exponentially. How's it going? ”

Everyone will naturally agree, who doesn't agree with this kind of good thing?

Tian Fan continued: "The second thing is the problem of the Xuzhou Army's dressing. Master Pu, are there any difficulties in the expansion of refined iron production? ”

Pu Yuan said: "My lord, there is no difficulty for the time being, I am debugging more crucibles and renovating the shed, which will be completed in a month." When the time comes, there will be no problem with a daily output of 8,000 catties of refined iron. In addition, as long as the larger crucible on the Zhengxin side is produced, I can produce more on my side. Well, I'm taking an apprentice right now, and once the apprentice becomes a talent, my burden will be lighter, and our fine iron production will also be doubled! …… However, as production increases, coal will become the biggest limitation. ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "I, I'll solve this matter with the lord." When it comes to changing clothes, you all have to tighten up......"

After a slight pause, Tian Fan said: "Zhang Xiang and Zhang Lao are in charge of armor, Zhao Lao is in charge of carpentry, Liu Lao is in charge of crossbow machines, and Zhang Sheng and Zhang Lao are in charge of weapons." There are also Deheng, who is usually responsible for the overall work of the craftsman camp, and Master Pu. Jaecheng is in charge of Tuntian, which goes without saying. Zhengxin there, you first make all your efforts to build the crucible, and after the crucible meets the requirements, I will give you the rest of the tasks. As for the grandfather, hehe, the grandfather, your work over there is also very important, how are the crops I gave you are cultivated? ”

Xie Qi said: "My lord, everything is going well on my side. Last year, according to the method you taught, it was successfully planted, and this year, I just want to plant more seeds for future promotion. ”

Tian Fan nodded with satisfaction, glanced at everyone, and said, "Very good, your work is very important, I hope you can do your best!" Of course, I won't do anything if I want the horses to run and the horses don't eat grass. Now, I give you my promise that in a few years, after the great cause of the lord has developed, he will definitely make a big feud with the ministers, so that these people who follow him will be made marquis and worship the prime minister. Hehe, at that time, I will fight for you and let you all be crowned! The county marquis and the township marquis are a little difficult, but the pavilion marquis or the guannei marquis, I am still sure! ”…,

Feudal marquis? This is a major event of the glory of the ancestors, the craftsman is the marquis, this is even more unheard of, unseen. However, they all knew that Tian Fan was true to his word, and he never lied, and besides, they also had the desire to be a marquis, so at this moment, they did not hesitate to believe Tian Fan's promise! Even if it's a wonderful dream, they're willing to do it a little longer!

The nine people stood up excitedly, bowed to Tian Fan, and shouted, "Lord Xie! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me first, it's not too late to thank you when you seal the Hou!" Besides, even if you are crowned Hou, you should thank the lord, not me! ”

Ma Jun said excitedly: "My lord...... Not to mention that we are all marquis, even if there is only one of the nine of us who is a marquis, this is something worthy of the pride and gratitude of the craftsmen all over the world, we are not thanking the lord for us, but ...... But thank you for all the craftsmen in the world! ”

Fei Wo was a general in Tuntian, an official in charge of farming, not a pure craftsman, so Ma Juncai excluded him.

The rest of the people, including Fei Wo, who was excluded by Ma Jun, nodded their heads again and again, agreeing with Ma Jun's words.

Tian Fan said: "Sit down, hehe, you are doing a job that the craftsmen in the world can't do, so naturally you want to get the glory that the rest of the craftsmen can't get!" I just did what I had to do, and you just had to take it in peace, it doesn't have to be that way. ”

The so-called craftsman is actually the scientist in Tian Fan's heart. Striving for status and benefits for these scientists was a goal he had set for a long time. Once these people are recognized, then more and more people are willing to engage in so-called "strange and skillful skills", and the scientific career of the Great Han will also develop. Although this is a long-term job and the road ahead is extremely difficult, Tian Fan will not give up.

Everyone still looked at Tian Fan with gratitude on their faces, as craftsmen, how could they not know the hardships of craftsmen? How can you not know the grievances of the craftsman? Tian Fan is a person who respects them and has a positive attitude towards their efforts, how can this not make them grateful?

Tian Fan couldn't stand being watched by nine teary-eyed men, and was just about to say a few words to adjust the atmosphere, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming in.

Tian Fan fixed his eyes and saw that the person who followed the footsteps into the door was Tang Feng, Tang Xian's younger brother, and the second son of Old Man Tang.

His face was full of anxiety, and when he saw Tian Fan, he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, my lord, go and save Wang Zi and Zhu Yuan, they are about to be beheaded for public display!" ”
