Wu Yingying picked up the pair of wool socks that Ah Jian had just knitted, and said to Cai Jian: "This is the sweater I want, of course, this style is worn on the feet." Cai Jian immediately understood Wu Yingying's consciousness, and announced loudly: "The commander will personally rule that Ah Dun's job is the best today, he can be the first to choose a leg of mutton!" After speaking, he also smiled at Ah Tun for the first time, and then Cai Jian announced the names of the remaining nine good slaves, and they can all get a fragrant leg of mutton.

When Ah Dang was about to walk towards the row of shiny leg of lamb with hope, Wu Yingying stopped him, looking at the confused Ah Tun, Wu Yingying asked gently: "This brother, can you teach others your weaving skills?"

Did this noble man call me brother? I probably heard it wrong, Ah Xuan nodded hurriedly, swallowed his saliva, and was about to walk towards the leg of mutton, Wu Yingying stretched out his hand again to stop him.

"By the way, what's your name?" Wu Yingying asked.

Ah was stunned for a while, and replied in a low voice: "Arslen," he was afraid that Wu Yingying would not understand the Mongolian language, and explained, "It means lion." ”

"I will redeem this slave a hundred times, and from this day onwards he will be a craftsman, so let this lion help you run the woollen mill. Wu Yingying said loudly to Cai Jian. Buying a slave for 100 guan has exceeded three times the market price, which is also a rule set by Wu Yingying, if the slaves are to be turned into cute households within three years, the officer who ordered them to ransom people out of their own pockets, one hundred. This had the advantage of preventing the officers of the artisan battalion from freeing slaves arbitrarily according to their personal preferences, and it also made the early freed slaves grateful to the freers, after all, free freedom was not worth anything.

Craftsman, this word is like a thunderbolt from the sky, the craftsman is scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, the craftsman, this is the craftsman who has to speak respectfully to the master of the overseer, the craftsman who eats meat every day, for a few months, in the cognition of Ah Leng and other slaves, the master of the craftsman is second only to the master of the craftsman, I have only seen the craftsman sharply pointed out where the sergeant supervisor has done something wrong, just like taking an apprentice in his own workshop, and the high sergeants are always accompanied by smiling faces.

The useless Ah Stunned, just because he knitted a pair of wool socks, he became a high-flying craftsman, is this still a useless Ah Stunned on the grassland?

All the slaves were a little stunned, since the tribe was broken, and they were not selected by the tribe to become the Lanzhou sergeant clan, many people lost hope for the future, and some unruly people still longed for this escape or even resisted. However, when they arrived in Lanzhou, they found that the government did not divide them into families at all, nor did they go out of the city to work in the fields at all, but were confined and worked for seven hours a day, except for eating, sleeping and a little rest. Strict vigilance, simple repetitive work day after day, extinguishes the last bit of vitality and hope in everyone's heart, which is why a leg of lamb can motivate everyone to go all out to knit a sweater. Because in the days when everything is unchanged, a little improvement will make people feel great happiness and comfort, and this subtle psychological state is the same for both Hu and Han people.

However, in the blink of an eye, the "useless Leng" actually gained freedom, and there was no freedom that no one cherished more than the steppe people, not only that, but he also became a craftsman, and the craftsman who assisted the craftsman in managing more than 2,000 woolen slaves was more majestic than many tribe leaders on the grassland. It seems that there is still hope for life, and many people secretly think that as long as they rely on their skills, not archery, horseback riding, or cutting people, but the skills recognized in the workshop, even useless Ah Leng can do it, why can't I do it.

"Stinky boy, don't hurry up and thank Lord Wu for his kindness!" Cai Jian saw that Ah was stupid with joy, and hurriedly mentioned something, he was also very happy, the clueless sweater weaving workshop has finally come on the right track since then, and the usefulness of this slave is indeed worthy of a craftsman. There is no need for Wu Yingying to mention it, he also knows that the remaining thing is to let Ah Leng teach his weaving method to others, and then continue to find a better and more efficient weaving method through the weaving competition on this basis. Even if Cai Jian doesn't know how to do business, he can see the value of this sweater, Lanzhou has a large amount of wool, and he can also buy it from the grassland tribe nearby, press a batch of inventory first, and often sell it in the north in winter, you can exchange it for livestock, silver money and more wool.

Arslen hurriedly bowed and saluted in the same way as the sergeant of Lanzhou, and said, "Thank you for your grace." He also learned this Chinese very quickly. A steppe man like Arstun, who is not good at horseback riding and archery, and who is not good at animal husbandry, is good at weaving and learning languages. Personal ability is somewhat biased, and in general, if God closes a door, it will inevitably open another door for you. It's just that these talents are not taken seriously, and they are reversed from generation to generation in the Mongolian people who are eliminated by the competition for survival, which will give the Han people in the Central Plains the impression that the steppe people are vulgar and unliterate, and only know how to fight bravely. In the past dynasties, the Central Plains court recruited nomadic tribes, and only selected warriors to drive for the court, to some extent, the same rules as on the grassland. But the factory in Lanzhou just reversed the elimination mechanism.

When Ah Tuan bowed down to thank him according to the etiquette of the Han people, the two thousand slaves in the factory watched this scene, and the world changed, which was a thought that came to the minds of many people almost at the same time.

Wu Yingying patted him on the shoulder, casually untied his vermilion and draped it on Als's stunned shoulder, and encouraged: "Wulanzhou is a heavy talent, no matter where you come from, brothers work hard, you are a real lion." After speaking, he and Cai Jian turned around and left, leaving Ars stunned to stay in the local area wearing his big coat, "My little Ars is stunned, it's a little lion." This is the kind voice of Grandma after every bullying. Looking at the slowly blurred back, my nose was a little sour, and my eyes were a little wet.

"The woolen factory is well organized, and Captain Cai has contributed a lot. Wu Yingying smiled at Cai Jian, "These arrogant grassland tribes are now more docile than the people in the city." ”

He said this with a feeling. Facts have proved that the Chinese's spirit of exploiting loopholes has a long history, and after the initial adaptation period was completed, there were quite a few "Diao Min" who dared to appeal to the civil protector to fight lawsuits. It was not tolerated that the sergeants unscrupulously expanded their sovereignty over the people, nor could they allow the people to gain longwang Shu, and finally completely got rid of the personal control that Lanzhou imposed on them through the soldiers. Every dispute was carefully considered by Wu Yingying before being adjudicated.

In the end, Wu Yingying had no choice but to sacrifice a killer move, and implemented a precedent law, classifying the rulings of all disputes between military and civilian households as precedents, and thereafter, if the situation of military and civilian disputes is similar to that of existing cases, they will all be adjudicated with reference to precedents, and if the facts of the new case are different from the existing precedents, the officers must clearly state the differences in the facts of the case and the reasons for their ingenuity in the ruling. Because there are more and more precedents to refer to, it is relatively easy and simple for officers to follow the cat and the tiger, and Wu Yingying's lawsuits have only decreased. The various nuanced rights and obligations between the households and the sergeants began to be slowly fixed by one precedent after another. There are more and more cases, and there is less and less room for the so-called "inferior gentry" and "bad people" to exploit loopholes.

"A batch of duck down and goose down collected by the southern caravan was cleaned according to the instructions of the lord, dried and stored in the warehouse. Seeing Wu Yingying's praise, Cai Jian did not take credit, only hurried to report a few words on the work of the craftsman camp in the near future, Wu Yingying is now a great opportunity, not that he is unwilling to hand over these things to others, but everything is difficult at the beginning, many things, the captains are also willing to hand it over, one shows merit, and the other is to prevent if there is disharmony.

"Well," Wu Yingying nodded, this down jacket basically has no technical difficulty, and now he is just slowly purchasing raw materials at an extremely cheap price and bringing them to the winter to make a batch to meet the needs of the soldiers in the winter, because this thing is too easy to imitate, and he has no plans to sell the down jacket now.

"Also, the stove that can burn the oil has been built, and the last general has appointed a carpenter, a blacksmith, and a tailor to make hot air balloons according to the instructions of the adults, according to the French style of Kong Ming lanterns. Cai Jian said again. Wu Yingying felt that the hot air balloon was useless, but because the technical difficulty was not great, he casually ordered Cai Jian to try to make it, he didn't know that it was this thing that made Cai Jian throw himself to the ground, in the eyes of people in this era, everything associated with the sky is extremely mysterious. When the simple balloon dragged the rattan basket with the iron stove and the yellow dog to the sky, Cai Jian directly thought that Wu Yingying was destined to return, at least he was also a figure like Zhuge Kongming.

"The end of the crystal piece that the adult said will also ask Kang Gongzi to buy in the Western Regions, and the craftsmen who polish the mirror are still lacking in the craftsman camp, so they also invited Kang Gongzi to extend the invitation in the Western Regions. Cai Jian said cautiously, he knew from Wu Yingying's description that clairvoyance was a militaristic weapon, which could control the enemy's aircraft, but now there was a lack of high-transparency crystals and mirror grinders needed to make it, and this project was just a plan at the moment.

"Well, it's not easy for you either. Wu Yingying patted him on the shoulder and said, "The craftsman camp is the most important institution in my Lanzhou, and I am very relieved that you are diligent in your work." He turned his head to look at the team of slaves who were about to leave in the workshop, and said, "Do a good job, the scale of the craftsman's camp will only expand, not cut." If these slaves are obedient and effective, they will be converted into craftsmen after three years. However, since there are so many artisan households, the treatment and status must not be compared with the current one, and they must be the same as other households, and they must join the sergeant as a cute household. The existing craftsmen are promoted to the rank of master craftsman, senior master and master master according to their craft, and their treatment is based on the ten-master, centurion and captain respectively. Master Craftsman is treated the same as you, can Captain Cai agree?"

"My lord sees thousands of miles, and the end will be honored. Cai Jian bowed down and said, his only opinion on Wu Yingying was that Wu Yingying always had to ask him if he agreed with every major decision, in Cai Jian's mind, this undoubtedly made the commander feel that he was not intimate enough. But then again, there are only so many craftsmen, and when the time comes, the standards for improving the master craftsmen will be set stricter, and there are so many top craftsmen who have seen their ingenious craftsmanship, and Cai Jian is also convinced that these people are treated the same as himself.
