Just after Ye Feng and Feng Shi agreed, he was going to go to see the soldiers who were camping outside the city, but he didn't have time to check the situation when the lights were blind last night.

"Little Brother Ye!" He suddenly heard Zhang Yi's shout from behind, and immediately turned around and ran back.

Ye Feng clasped his fists and saluted: "General, good morning!"

Zhang Yi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What is early?" It's almost noon. I have just set the share of today's grain for the time being, and now I will take you to see the craftsmen in the county. Then he walked in the direction of the city gate.

Ye Feng followed behind, saying as he walked, "Thank you, General!"

Zhang Yi turned around and walked to Ye Feng's side to be parallel to him, and then said as he walked: "These guys are really greedy for money, they refuse to sell them at a flat price, and in the end they are priced at one copper and two, and they have been grinding with them all morning." There are a lot of complaints between words.

It seems that Zhang Yi really put a lot of thought into these people, otherwise how could he have the patience to bargain with the people of this powerful family with his martial character.

So Ye Feng felt that he could rest assured, and he didn't need to worry about the next things, but he didn't know how to answer this kind of thing, so he could only hold his fists and say: "General Gaoyi!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yi changed the topic: "Okay, let's talk about your hiring of craftsmen now." The prefectural magistrate has agreed that you can choose any craftsman in the county, but you will have to pay for all the employment costs. ”

Ye Feng immediately thanked him: "Thank you, General." He knew that the county order could not easily let the craftsmen drain, and Zhang Yi must have played a great role in it.

Zhang Yi waved his hand boldly: "You're welcome, I said before that I would ask for anything, not to mention that it was just a trivial matter."

After the two entered the city, they continued to chat, and the intimate situation surprised everyone who saw it nearby, you must know that Zhang Yi is usually very cold, but his status is very high, and no one came to disturb him.

Zhang Yi continued: "There are now three major grandmasters in the county, which are a grandmaster-level tailor, a grandmaster-level blacksmith, and a grandmaster-level chef. Wang Mei, a grandmaster-level tailor, is the owner of the largest tailor shop in the county; Wu Tie, a grandmaster-level blacksmith, is the owner of Wu's blacksmith shop, the largest blacksmith shop in the county; Grandmaster-level chef Lu Fan is the owner of Fumanlou, the largest restaurant in the county. ”

"Yijin Pavilion occupies a three-percent share of the county market; It took three months for Wu's blacksmith shop to ask for a battle armor, and you can see that it is the one on me, the best of the best; Fuman House is expensive and full of customers every day. ”

"I've already called these three people to the house, you can talk to them in a while, it's hard to say if it will work out."

Ye Feng nodded, he knew what Zhang Yi was trying to express, these three grandmasters all had their own industries, and they were not short of money.

Grandmaster-level tailors and blacksmiths have a chance to craft Legendary-quality equipment, but high-level furs are hard to come by, so Grandmaster-level tailors will have a lower status.

Moreover, the level of people who can use legendary quality equipment is relatively high, and there is no need to think too much about weight when using equipment, so iron armor with high defense attributes is more popular.

Of course, in fact, the legendary quality also has its advantages, but in the end, it comes down to the difference in the difficulty of obtaining raw materials, so the blacksmith has a higher status.

The true value of a Grandmaster Chef is the ability to make food with high-quality ingredients that permanently increase stats, but the normal food they make is also more delicious. People live on food, which is also a good means of making money.

Ye Feng guessed that these three grandmasters were all folk grandmasters who had been promoted through inheritance and exploration, and they did not have many high-level drawings or recipes, and there should still be official grandmasters in Zhang'an County.

However, these people are also grandmasters no matter how they say, and he is still willing to find a way to poach them.

Zhang Yi suddenly leaned over and whispered: "But I heard that the Wu family has a grandmaster-level blacksmith to worship, the Huang family has a grandmaster-level physician, and the county government has a grandmaster-level tailor."

Ye Feng nodded silently, he knew that Zhang Yi was taking revenge on the county order and those powerful families, it seemed that he must be angry today.

During this time, Ye Feng had some understanding of the main forces in Zhang'an County through the newly joined lords.

The Wu family is the first family in Zhang'an County, and they are quite famous in the county, and the Huang family is a family specializing in herbal medicine.

And these offerings are indeed very good goals, because the scholars of this era can't change the contempt for craftsmen in their bones, so their status in the family is not high, and the treatment is not good.

Zhang Yi continued with a straight face: "In addition, there are 352 senior craftsmen registered by the government, and you can choose whatever you want when the time comes, as long as it does not affect the normal operation of the county."

"Thank you, General!" Ye Feng bowed.

Unconsciously, the two walked to Zhang Yi's house, and Zhang Yi waved his hand: "Don't be so polite." The three great grandmasters are already in the mansion, you can talk to them now. There are still a lot of things on my side, so I can't accompany them. After saying a few words of instruction to the butler standing at the door, he turned and left.

Ye Feng followed the housekeeper of Zhang's Mansion to the living room, and saw that there were already three people in the living room, on the left was a strong man in a short shirt, with reddish skin and muscular muscles full of a sense of strength; The other two sat on the right, the first of them a white fat man, at least moderately obese, with a kind smile on his face; The next one is a woman who still has charm, her face is calm, and there is a feeling of rejection from thousands of miles away.

Ye Feng immediately judged the identities of these three people, the one on the left must be the blacksmith Wu Tie, who obviously has a higher status than the other two, the top one on the right is the chef Lu Fan, and the bottom one is the tailor Wang Mei.

As soon as he entered, the three of them immediately got up and bowed, "I've seen my lord." They didn't know Ye Feng's identity, but they dealt with it well, and they deserved to be businessmen.

Ye Feng replied, "I've seen all the grandmasters!" calmly walked to the top of the left and sat down, waved his hand, and said, "Don't be restrained, sit down and talk."

After all, this is Zhang Yi's mansion, and it is not easy for him to sit on the main seat, so he will wait until all three of them sit down: "In Xia Ye Feng, General Zhang should have told you all the reasons for inviting you here today."

"Villain Lu Fan, Lord Ye is really righteous for saving the county, we are grateful." Lu Fan is the best at human sophistication and is the first to answer.

"Villain Wang Mei."

"Villain Wu Tie"

"I'm from the Great Wilderness Yejia Town, all the grandmasters here, I won't beat around the bush. I want to hire you for a while, I don't know what you think? Ye Feng said bluntly.

"This ......" all three of them had a difficult face.

Ye Feng was not in a hurry: "Now that the chaos in the world has appeared, I believe you have already discovered it." Can you still do business well in troubled times? ”

Lu Fan and Wang Mei's faces were gloomy, obviously knowing very well that what Ye Feng said was the truth, Wu Tie didn't care, the more troubled the times, the more equipment would be needed.

"You're all respectable grandmasters, but some don't necessarily give you courtesy." The corners of Ye Feng's mouth hooked up a smile.

This time, Wu Tie's face changed drastically, Ye Feng was right, but sometimes someone might force him to become a machine for building equipment.

Ye Feng smiled slightly and said: "Our town is in the Great Wilderness, and our strength can at least ensure the safety of the people under our rule." And I can assure you that we will not persecute you, and that you will be paid for any of your work. ”

The three of them fell into deep thought. The three of them do not have a strong force behind them, and they can still rely on the left and right to protect themselves in peacetime, but now as long as there are powerful families with evil intentions, they have any power to resist.

Although they don't know what Ye Feng's status is in the so-called Yejia Town, judging from the information they obtained, he must also be a big man, and his guarantee should be trustworthy.

Ye Feng turned his gaze to the bottom: "We hired Grandmaster Wu as the chief blacksmith of the town, managing all the blacksmith shops, and at the same time responsible for the equipment building of the soldiers in the town."

Wu Tie is not sad or happy, he is now the only blacksmith grandmaster in Zhang'an County, and he is not surprised by this condition at all.

Ye Feng turned his head to look at the two opposite: "Both of them have industries in the county, as long as they accept the employment, we can provide military support."

Lu Fan and Wang Mei both had a look of intention on their faces, this was indeed a temptation that could not be refused, but both of them were very sober, and there was no free lunch in the world.

Lu Fan immediately asked, "I don't know what we need to pay?"

Ye Feng smiled slightly: "Yes, your income in this town should account for sixty percent."

Lu Fan froze slightly: "Sixty percent is too much, we don't need so many to find a random one to attach to."

"But can you guarantee that they won't be insatiable in the future? At least I can guarantee that the conditions will never change, and to tell you the truth, my guarantee in Yejia Town is absolutely valid. Ye Feng smiled.

Looking at the three of them, he continued: "Of course, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, you can accept the hire to take a look first, if you are not satisfied, I will send you back." I'll give you an hour to think about it. ”

"Lord Ye, farewell. I need to go back and think about it. Fat Lu Fan was the first to get up.

"Your Excellency, farewell." Wu Tie followed.

Seeing that Wang Mei hadn't gotten up, Ye Feng smiled and asked, "Grandmaster Wang, what's the matter, don't you go back and think about it?"

Wang Mei got up and bowed and said, "Lord Ye, the women have already thought it through, and I am willing to accept the employment of adults."

Ye Feng said excitedly: "Great, please get up quickly, sit down and talk."

When Wang Mei sat down, he continued: "You made a very correct decision. I've asked you to manage the tailors in town, and for now we can only get some Tier 6 and lower furs, but I promise you'll have a chance to get more advanced furs in the future. ”

Wang Mei nodded, but she couldn't change her cold face.

Ye Feng knew that she was actually tempted: "You have children, how old are you?"

Wang Mei was slightly stunned and said, "The woman has a 15-year-old son and a 7-year-old daughter."

The peculiar growth speed of the children in the game made it difficult for Ye Feng to judge the size of their children from their age, so he specially asked.

He continued, "Can you study?"

Wang Mei didn't know why Ye Feng asked about this, but she didn't think too much about it: "Children are only enlightened in the library, and women can only be enlightened at home."

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Although there is only a library in our town, all the children who join must reach adulthood, and there are already a few knowledgeable gentlemen." As long as they can grow up, they will be able to show their talents in the future. And today, Mr. Feng Shilao has agreed to become a teacher in the library. ”

Wang Mei knew that Ye Feng was inviting her to join completely, and her face was faintly moved. After all, most parents want their sons to become Jackie Chan, but because of their background, her son can't go to county school.

Now that the opportunity was in front of her, at least she knew that Feng Shi's knowledge was more than enough to teach the academy, and of course it was difficult to resist this temptation.
