Zuo Qianzhi has not worried about money and food since he had Sima Kong, although there is a whole room of gold, silver and jewelry in the basement, but if there is no income, those will be consumed sooner or later, so after Sima Kong appeared, it was considered to have solved this problem for Zuo Qian.

Originally, the group of literati students in the training ground, now most of them also follow Sima Kong to do things together, whether it is water conservancy and land, or business and trade, and now they have walked out of their own way under the leadership of Sima Kong, and later under Sima Kong's suggestion, Zuo Qian also began to form a guard army, after all, most of the security in Heishui North still has to rely on the local guards, and like the Flying Fish Guard and the Modao team are a little inappropriate.

Although the escort army is responsible for the security of the territory, the captains in it are all from the training ground, and most of them are masters of external skills, so it can be said that the combat effectiveness of the escort army, not to mention very strong, at least compared to ordinary bandits, it is several grades higher.

The number of guards is not very large at present, only less than 2,000 people, but it is still no problem to guard the area around Heishui Town for more than ten miles.

If Feiyuwei is Zuo Qian's intelligence department and assassination unit, then the Modao team is Zuo Qian's military special combat team, and the Shenji Battalion is equivalent to Zuo Qian's second artillery, and as for the current escort army, it is equivalent to the Imperial Forest Army plus city defense

Artisan workshop.

The sound of 'clanging' was heard far away, mixed with the sound of discussion and discussion.

Zuo Qian came down from the training ground and walked straight to the workshop.

Although it is already spring now, it is still snowing in Heishuibei, covering the entire training ground, which is like laying a layer of silver for this training ground.

Because the temperature of the workshop is relatively high all year round, that is, in the cold winter wax moon day, there is no snow on the roof of the workshop and around it, which is the most strange place in the whole Heishui North, especially in winter, as long as there is no training, those children who have just entered the training ground like to play around the workshop, not for anything else, because it is the warmest here.

Walking into the workshop, Zuo Qian's first thing caught his eye was a big melting pot, which burned red and burned, just like when the crater was about to erupt, but Zuo Qian was happy to see it, what does this prove? The furnace fire is not extinguished, which proves that new weapons and equipment are manufactured every day, if the furnace fire is extinguished one day, then it proves that Zuo Qian's territory is finished.

Although it was snowing outside, the craftsmen inside were all shirtless and sweating there, like swords, spears, crossbows, bows and arrows, and fire guns and iron cannons.

Zuo Qian has been here for so long, but no one came to greet Zuo Qian, they all lowered their heads and were busy with their own, Zuo Qian didn't blame, he understood that he also understood these people, especially in the production of those precision parts, if it was just at a critical juncture, if he saluted when he saw Zuo Qian coming, it was likely to cause unnecessary losses.

Just when Zuo Qian was fascinated, a young man in his twenties walked out of the back room, and it seemed that he was very handsome, but the ruffian smile on his face and the look of the hanger suddenly destroyed the image of the person who came all day long.

I saw a lewd smile on his face, and said to Zuo Qian: "Yo, superior, it's time to come to us today", just listening to this voice, I know that this person's personality is a little out of the way, and what Zuo Qian has never understood is that this person has such a detached character, how can he do things in the workshop, and he can make such good weapons and equipment.

Zuo Qian looked at the person who came a little out of the way, but Zuo Qian liked this person very much, don't look at this person's personality is a bit of a scoundrel, but he is very serious when he does things, if he does it at a critical moment, even if Zuo Qian disturbs him, he will still be cut with a knife, although he can't beat it, he will still cut it.

Zuo Qian also understands this kind of person, when he is persistent and serious about something, if someone dares to disturb and destroy, it will not even give face to the king of heaven.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be your turtle grandson" Zuo Qian also teased the person who came. Of course, this is only when he usually doesn't do things, if he hides and does things, Zuo Qian has to be respectful to him.

According to Zuo Qian's words, he is the boss when he does things, and he is the turtle grandson when he doesn't do things. Don't look at this person who is very serious in his work, but when he is idle, he is a lazier guy than Zuo Qian, he will never stand when he can sit, and he will never sit when he can lie down. and his mouth, I just want to scold him when I first contact him, but the key is that you can't scold him, and after being in contact with him for a long time, you don't just want to scold people, but you want to beat people or even kill people.

Looking at Zanggui, Zuo Qian also pursed his mouth and said sarcastically: "You turtle grandson, why are you lazy today? Be careful that I deduct your burning knife for half a month." This is also the only weakness of Zanggui, this person usually doesn't love money, doesn't love women, except for making those things related to mechanical arts, only wine and spirits are Zanggui's hobbies.

Zanggui didn't answer first, he only heard that he was going to detain his wine for half a month, so he stopped doing it.

"Zuo Qian, you turtle grandson, you deduct me for half a month to try the wine", now I don't even shout at the top position, which shows how important wine is in Zanggui's heart.

Zuo Qian was immediately angry.

"Okay, you have a hidden return, dare to talk to me like this, I don't think you want to drink, right?" Zuo Qian threatened.

As soon as he heard this, he wilted, and when others said this, he would fight with others, but the key was that the person in front of him couldn't beat him by himself, and the wine had to rely on others, so it wilted.

Zanggui, whose face was red, suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, that is, we made the crossbow on the crossbow machine map, but I think that under the transformation, if you attack the city in the future, you don't need to use the door car, as long as you use the mountain crossbow I transformed, at most two times will break the door."

Hearing Zanggui say this, Zuo Qian's eyes lit up, if this is the case, then if he fights with others and attacks the city in the future, then it will be much more convenient.

"What you said is true," Zuo Qian asked with a little excitement.

Zanggui's stinky fart look on his face seemed to have forgotten the bickering just now, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he said: "Of course, as long as Brother Zang comes out, there is nothing that can't be done." ”

"Oh, by the way, you won't deduct my wine, will you?"

only listened to a senior engineer drunkard bargaining with himself, Zuo Qian didn't care about this, and said: "If you really make it, I will not only not deduct the wine, but also give you ten more jars every month."

"Did you make it?"

Zanggui smiled and said, "Not yet, now it's just an idea, I'm just going to come to you and want you to support you."

As soon as he heard that Zanggui said that it was just an idea, Zuo Qian was also very happy, because as long as Zanggui said that he was imagining, it would not be long before what he envisioned would be made, and Zuo Qian still believed in Zanggui very much.

"You say, what support do you want?" Zuo Qian asked.

I saw that Zanggui was a little twisted, like a little daughter-in-law, pinching the corners of her clothes and bowing her head, as if there was some truth of life under her feet.

Zuo Qian couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and kicked on Zanggui's buttocks, saying: "I'll wipe your uncle, don't give Lao Tzu the whole thing, it's disgusting to watch."

"There is no money, and there is no material", Zanggui said this sentence as if he had mustered great courage.

As soon as he heard that he was asking for money, Zuo Qian said a little angrily: "Didn't I just give you three thousand taels and a large number of materials a month ago?

"That, don't be angry, don't be angry, isn't this a test!" Zanggui is now called a superior again, he knows that his group is using money too quickly, and he himself is a little embarrassed.

It was difficult for Zuo Qian to see that when he was embarrassed, he also understood that he wanted to hide it in their group, it was completely a gluttony who swallowed money, but there was nothing to say about what was made.

"Okay! This time, I'm giving you three thousand and a batch of materials, but I have to save some of them, otherwise Sima Kongyou will make trouble with me", after Zuo Qian finished speaking, he stared at Zanggui directly, as if there were flowers on Zanggui's face.

As soon as he heard Sima Kong's name, Zanggui said impatiently: "Don't mention that deflated calf thing, when he came to me to get something, he simply asked for it as soon as he stretched out his hand, and he didn't leave if he didn't give it to him, but when I asked him for silver and supplies, he only had one word: I didn't."

"He said three words," Zuo Qian corrected.

"Okay, I won't tell you, you're busy, I'll call you", Zuo Qian left after speaking.

Zanggui heard Zuo Qian speak, and the stone in his heart fell.

I saw Zanggui saluting Zuo Qian's back very respectfully, and said loudly: "Congratulations to the upper position", and ran back to his studio after speaking.

After walking out of the craftsman's workshop, Zuo Qian came to the training, and it happened that snowflakes were falling from the sky.

Zuo Qian stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, but as soon as the snowflakes touched Zuo Qian's palm, they turned into snow water, and there was nothing else in the palm of his hand except for a little wetness, let alone the shadow of snowflakes.

Seeing that the snowflakes that gradually turned from small and whitening to goose feather snow, although Zuo Qian had already entered the innate realm, he was not afraid of this little cold, and he still habitually tightened the clothes on his body.

Looking at the falling snowflakes and listening to the shouts of those trainings, Zuo Qian unconsciously touched it like a goose knife on his waist.
