I still remember the world war in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century.

At the end of the war, both armies invaded the capital of the defeated side, and both plundered to a considerable extent, with one side carrying away countless advanced scientific and technological equipment and even moving their factories back to their homes.

However, the other side focused on plundering the talents of the defeated countries, and brought back all the scientists who had mastered high-end technology.

In the end, you don't need to ask who got the big bargain, right?

Therefore, Xiao Chen felt that the value of these craftsmen in front of him, who were not good-looking and had unique skills, was far higher than the 500,000 taels of silver that Li Shi gave him.

I want them all!

Brought all the craftsmen back to the barracks, directly incorporated into the logistics troops, and let them practice with the soldiers for a few days in the morning and evening, of course, they will not be sent into battle to kill the enemy, but just let them know some battlefield knowledge.

In the future, if there is any unexpected situation, you can more or less pick up a knife and gun to protect yourself, at least you will not panic and become a mess.

"Be sure to let the mules and craftsmen walk in the middle of our ranks!" This was Xiao Chen's first order as a marshal.

Only then did the craftsmen realize that something was wrong, how did I get on this thief ship of Grandpa Xiao?

For a while, the crowd was agitated and protested.

Is there a mistake?

We are all craftsmen summoned by the Ministry of Industry, but we are not soldiers who go to fight!

If you want us to work in the army, that's fine, but we don't want to go to Yanyun County with us.

Otherwise, Gonggong Xiao, don't send it, let's go first?

However, it was too late.

Zhuge Xiaosheng immediately changed his face, and even if the officer read out the military precepts to the big guys, he warned the big guys to stay calm, otherwise they will be subject to military law!

See the dozen or so heads hanging from the gate, right?

They just don't obey!

The craftsmen were beating their chests just now, foaming at the mouth and shouting loudly, and when they looked up and saw the dozen or so heads on the gate that were about to be dried, they were immediately silent, their faces were like white paper, the bold only trembled slightly with their legs, and the timid ones even peed their pants directly......

"General Zhuge , what are you doing here? Look the big guy scares the hell! Don't kill people and cut off heads at every turn, we are reasonable! After Xiao Sheng finished singing with a black face, Xiao Chen put on a red face and appeared on the stage.

"Don't be afraid, big guy, as long as he doesn't violate General Zhuge 's military discipline, he won't kill people indiscriminately, but if he does, then even Ben Shuai can't protect you, don't talk about you, even if Ben Shuai offends, it's the same to behead and behead, it's not a joke." Let's start with the ugly words.

"This time, the road is quite long, and it is quite dangerous, how can there be a war? But you don't really care, because why? Because you're not soldiers, and you don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, what's the danger? I am here to make a military order with you in public, and I will not send you to the battlefield at any time! ”

With Xiao Chen's identity, and in front of the big guys, this is not just a casual talk, as the so-called military order is like a mountain, it will never change as soon as it is exported.

The craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ben Shuai can also promise you that he will do his best to protect you, you are all Ben Shuai's baby bumps...... Of course the brothers are, you are special treasures, not only in my Xiao Chen's heart, but I am afraid that in the eyes of Xianbei people, they are also treasures......" Xiao Chen began to hint.

Ye Baiqing and Wei Yuntian coughed vigorously, but he also ignored them.

"All in all, you are not soldiers, you are all ordinary people, no matter how fierce the Xian cavalry is, they will not kill people indiscriminately, so even if it is anything, you will be fine......" Xiao Chen's hint became more and more obvious.

"Marshal!" This time, even Zhuge Xiaosheng couldn't listen to it.

"Ahem, then let me ask you one more thing, how much salary does the Ministry of Industry promise to give you?" Xiao Chen also stopped talking in time and changed the topic.

"The fixed salary per month is five taels of silver, and if there is a job, some will be added, and there will always be seven or eight taels per month." A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was bold, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he replied loudly.

"Huh? Can't! Xiao Chen was shocked when he heard this.

The craftsmen were all taken aback by his startling, this Gonggong Xiao, are you okay, are you trying to bite us with your mouth open so wide?

We're all great craftsmen!

It is completely qualified to get five taels of silver a month, otherwise who is especially willing to leave their family and business to come to Beijing to work?

You don't know how expensive Jingshi rice is!

"Back to Marshal Xiao's words, five taels of silver is not much, we can earn four or five taels of silver a month by doing work at home, but the income is unstable, so ......" The young man was also quite dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's reaction.

I don't respect our profession at all.

How much do you hire a mule a month?

"Of course it's not much, it's too little!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "I'll give you a salary of ten taels a month, even if you don't have a job to lie down, you can still take it!" In addition, your settling-in allowance is the same as that of your brothers, which is also fifty taels! Sent right away! ”

Well? The craftsmen immediately came to the spirit, and it wasn't really a one?

Let's not talk about the high salary of ten taels of silver per month, but the fact that we will pay fifty taels of silver immediately sounds like a fool......

"Later, everyone will go to the quartermaster to register and make a book, and then you can get the silver...... But don't be busy, I'm not done yet. Xiao Chen was very satisfied with the big guy's reaction.

In fact, he originally wanted to give more, but he couldn't give too much at the beginning, otherwise how could he be generous in the future?

You should still boil the frog in warm water, and you will all be cooked sooner or later!

"The fixed salary per month is ten taels, but once the big guy starts working, add another five taels bonus, at least five taels, if it is any laborious work, Ben Shuai has an additional reward, and there is no cap on the kind of ...... Boy, what's your name? Xiao Chen asked the young man.

"The villain's surname is Gongsun, and there is a class for one word." Isn't that a good name, guy?

At first glance, it sounds like a public loss......

"What kind of craftsman are you from?" Xiao Chen was happy when he heard it, and felt that he should be a carpenter.

"The villain is a carpenter, a blacksmith, and all of them can come so much." Gongsun Ban's words are quite modest, but looking at his proud expression, it should be more than just two clicks.

"Okay, then let's wait and see, see if you have two hits? I temporarily appointed you as a Qinglong lieutenant, and if you do a good job, you will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and if you don't do a good job, I will remove you. Xiao Chen said.

Someone asked, why is it called Captain Qinglong?

That's also something to say.

Among the five elements, the wood belongs to the green dragon, and the Gongsun class is a carpenter, so he was named the captain of the green dragon.

If the goldsmith is the captain of the white tiger, the shipbuilder is the captain of Xuanwu, and the blacksmith is the captain of the Suzaku bird......

Don't blame Xiao Chen for pretending to be forced, since ancient times, how many literati have not pretended?
