Chapter Twenty-Five: Convincing Old Barrow
"Brother, take care!" Mo Xuan told Prince Paul outside the gates of Flame City as he returned to the River of Life, and that look of concern made those who didn't know think how good the relationship between the two of them was.
"Big brother, take care too. Paul and his men reluctantly spoke, but by looking at his churning throat he knew what he was reluctant to give.
Seeing Paul go away, Mo Xuan put away the reluctant look on his face. "Let's go back too. With a long breath, Mo Xuan instructed his subordinates beside him, his heart was full of boredom from the non-stop acting in the past two days, and this feeling of not being able to do whatever he wanted was really terrible.
"In the end, my own strength is not strong enough. Mo Xuan sighed again: "Atwood, how is the training of the barbarians? ”
"Lord Viscount, they are a good group of soldiers. Atwood said insincerely.
Mo Xuan frowned when he heard this: ", what the hell is going on?"
"They worked hard, but they were a little poor at enforcing some of the passwords. After being reprimanded, Atwood no longer hid it.
"You mean they are still indistinguishable?" Mo Xuan knew this situation, these barbarians have not undergone any cultural education, their bodies are full of aggressive blood from birth, they are qualified warriors, but this culture is really too bad, except for some sacrifices in the barbarian tribe, it is estimated that even some chiefs are illiterate.
Atwood's face was full of helplessness: "Yes." ”
Mo Xuan really doesn't have a solution to this situation all at once, but Mo Xuan can greatly speed up the process, and the means to improve a person's motivation is nothing more than to see tangible benefits:" So, at Atwood, I'll send a few magic apprentices to teach them how to read, and you pick out all the barbarian squad leaders, and tell them that if anyone can learn to read first, I'll reward them with a set of full-body armor, and then there's a literacy contest every month, and I'll give the team the first place in the competition a refined weapon made by the dwarves. ”
Mo Xuan paused again, thought about it and decided to sacrifice the most vicious trick: "The first literate squad has meat and a glass of ale wine for every meal, and the last literate squad is responsible for washing the socks and underwear of the whole regiment by half, and it is also suitable for training in what formation according to this system, and combat training is the same, you go back and write me a plan, and then you can implement it." ”
Hearing this, Atwood had a chill, these barbarians were all pot-bellied men, and it was almost their order to halve the meal at a meal, and then think about the squad that was going to wash other people's underwear and then laughed heartlessly, there are only two kinds of knights and barbarians on the Endless Continent who regard honor as more important than life, and Atwood has seen these barbarians go crazy and train. "See if I don't clean you up. Atwood muttered in his heart, and a temperament called lewdness emanated from the body of the upright knight: "Don't worry, Lord Viscount, I will definitely put those barbarians into good order." Atwood held back a smile, gave Mo Xuan a military salute, and then rode on his mount and ran away.
In the craftsman's workshop, pieces of furniture parts appear in the hands of craftsmen, and the furniture parts are sorted and packed together, transported by horse-drawn carriage to the large room called the total distribution workshop, and then the craftsmen who have been waiting for a long time assemble these furniture parts together, paint and dry, and a piece of furniture is ready.
"Tsk, Lord Lord is worthy of being a magician, the drawings drawn here are different, you look at this furniture, I have been a carpenter all my life and never thought that such perfect furniture would appear in my hands. The old craftsman stroked the furniture in front of him as if he were caressing his own child, constantly admiring.
"Don't be too surprised, there will be more furniture in your hands when you get there, as long as you don't get tired of it. The voice that suddenly came from behind startled the old craftsman, and when he turned his head, the old craftsman who had just wanted to reprimand the person who came saw that the person was holding back what he was about to say in his stomach.
"Uh, my lord. The old craftsman looked embarrassed, after all, he said that others had heard it, but fortunately he said good things.
"Don't be so inhibited. Mo Xuan waved his hand casually, motioning for the old craftsman to sit on the chair he had just made.
The chair was copied from Mo Xuan according to various shapes that conform to human body mechanics on the earth, and it was very comfortable to sit on, fitting his waist as if he should have sat on it. The old craftsman moved his buttocks comfortably, and then thought that Mo Xuan was still doing this very unsightly in front of him, and sat up with a tense nerve.
"I said don't be nervous. Signaling the old craftsman not to be nervous again, Mo Xuan carefully felt the various details on the chair, and the answer was perfect.
There are no various processing lathes in this world, so everything has to be built with their own hands, and all the details and patterns are carved out by these masters one by one, and all of them who can become masters are one of the best, but their status is very low, and the superiors do not pay attention to their value.
"Old Barrow, is it difficult to process these furniture?" Mo Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the old craftsman Barrow in front of him.
Old Barrow thought for a moment and said, "The others are not difficult, but it is a little more difficult to depict these patterns. ”
"What do you think of these furniture?" Mo Xuan asked again.
"It's perfect, it's the most perfect piece of furniture I've ever seen, look at the curves, even the patterns on it are so beautiful. Old Barrow was full of praise.
"You see, these furniture are so perfect, there must be a lot of people who like them. Old Barrow nodded, there was no doubt about it, and then Mo Xuan continued: "At that time, these furniture will be sold to Sapphira, Iron Wall City, and even other countries, but although we have many craftsmen now, we have wasted too much time on some small things, I plan to expand the workshop in front of me into a factory, and the factory will recruit some young people, I ask you to hand over some basic skills to them, and you focus on these more complicated things." ”
Old Barrow didn't speak, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face.
Mo Xuan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly: "I know what you are worried about, isn't it just that the apprentices of the church starve to death of the master? You see that these jobs have made you very busy now, and there will be more and more complicated things for you to do when the time comes, you don't want to do these simple things all your life! You think about all kinds of precious wood, they will be made into furniture, even houses, etc., etc., don't you want to see these masterpieces appear from your hands?"
The more Mo Xuan spoke, the more red Old Barrow's face became, and Old Barrow gasped: "I will convince them." ”
"I'm waiting for your reply. Mo Xuan stood up, and Shi Shiran left, leaving behind a man who was very excited.
