Song Wen didn't bother to deal with the old liar, and ignored him after locking him in a cave. Give him a scoop of water and a bran vegetable dumpling a day, and then keep it for a few days.

The house where the carpenters and blacksmiths lived had long since been settled, and now several of them were picking up their shops.

Song Wen had a contract with them, and they were craftsmen hired by Song Wen. Regardless of whether there is a job or not, a month and a half of corn plus consistent money.

The craftsmen are very satisfied, originally they were unbearable to the government and could not pay the taxes to run away, here is Song Wen to take care of, pay taxes according to the mouth of the grange every year, it seems that Song Wen is a rich man...... What is rare is that this proprietor is still a rare good man in the world! Even the lonely and miserable little beggars have taken in nearly 100 people, can such a person still treat his family harshly?

There were three carpenters and two blacksmiths, and one carpenter could also do some leatherman's work. The two shops have begun to take shape, and the two families of the carpenter and blacksmith's family have also come out to help, the blacksmith's stove has been built, and the old blacksmith is discussing with the carpenter that he will go into the mountains to cut down trees and burn charcoal in the next few days to prepare for the furnace to work.

Several craftsmen stood up respectfully and bowed...... "I've seen the proprietor!" ”

Song Wen arched his hand and said: "During this period of time, Qingshan Village was first established, and there were many children who couldn't help, so a few of them worked hard...... Erlang, bring up the cloth and copper coins. ”

Li Erlang carried several pieces of cloth upside down, and the other two winery boys carried a full twenty pieces of copper coins on their backs......

"I can't do it, I can't help it, proprietor...... This is useless, and we haven't done much work? How can you be cheeky enough to ask for the proprietor's reward! ”

The oldest blacksmith hurriedly took a few companions to excuse himself, and Song Wen smiled and said: "I am also from a poor background, don't be polite!" I know that it was not easy for a few people to escape from their homeland. Especially if the two of you still have your family, this person's money will be used as a settling-in fee...... In the future, Qingshan Cottage will be indispensable for a few people! Don't worry, as long as I, Song Wen, am in one day, I can protect the safety of a few people! If you have a family member, I will send someone to find someone to live with you in a few days, and there is no family member...... Accumulate some wife's capital, and in the future, the daughter of a good family will be the daughter of the Hun family to have children! ”

Several craftsmen stood stunned for a while, and then knelt down in unison...... The old blacksmith wiped his tears and cried: "The world is difficult, and we don't know how many living sins we have suffered along the way...... God has mercy on us, so that we, the craftsmen, can meet such a good person as the proprietor! not only rescued us from the hands of thieves, but also rewarded us with food and life...... If we don't work hard to repay, we won't be human! ”

Several other craftsmen also wiped tears from their eyes......

"It's a pity that my mother couldn't survive to be rescued by the proprietor...... I starved to death in that thief's stockade......"

"Pity my daughter-in-law...... Do you still have a doll in your belly...... I just lost ......."

Song Wen was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "It's going to be fine...... It's going to be fine in the future. ”

After appeasing the craftsman, Song Wen went to check the iron tools and iron materials brought by Li Yan. Pulling open the tarpaulin, there were black pig iron bars and wrought iron bars outside, and Li Erlang pulled them a few times...... Suddenly a few rusty knives and guns were revealed!

Song Wen was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did these things come from?"

Li Erlang replied, "Brother, this was bought from the black market." These are all knives and guns eliminated by the forbidden army outside the city, and they were quietly sold for silver by the commander in charge of baggage equipment. ”

"Isn't there an equipment battalion in the forbidden army that specializes in recycling worn knives, guns, and armor?"

Li Erlang pouted: "Brother doesn't know, those forbidden soldiers can only get half a salary all year round, and they are deducted layer by layer, and it is difficult to eat and wear!" It's good that I didn't sell my horses and armor...... The commanding envoy's subordinates are familiar with this kind of thing, and they just need to report more losses. ”

Song Wen smiled dumbly...... With this virtue, it's no wonder that tens of thousands of gold people call the crying father in Bianliangwei, Tokyo! The forbidden army has been corrupted to this point, and it is conceivable how these civil officials in the imperial court suppressed the contempt for the martial arts......

After carefully checking it, Song Wen was surprised to find that ...... There are a total of more than a dozen point-steel spear heads and seven standard waist knives, all of which are just rusty, and they are good weapons if they are carefully repaired and polished.

It's a pity that these guys don't have the courage to sell the iron armor and hard crossbows in the army, otherwise Song Wen would want to pull the men and horses to occupy the mountain and become the king now.

Eight ox crossbows, big yellow crossbows. Divine Arm Bow ...... There is also a bed crossbow to defend the city! These are the real essence equipment in the Song Army, as well as the full-body iron armor and step armor of the Jin people that were cheapened for nothing!

It is said that the Tiefutu Cavalry, the ace force of the Jin people who swept through the Central Plains and completely dominated the north, was remade from the dusty infantry armor in the Northern Song Dynasty Arsenal...... Known as a rare heavy cavalry in Chinese history!

"Iron Float...... Iron Feather Array! ”

Li Erlang was curious: "What did my brother say?" What is Iron Float?"

Song Wen came back to his senses and smiled: "You'll see you later, but it should be with us."

Back in their yard, An Chun and the others were still frolicking with those teenagers, and Li Yan and Lin Chong were waiting in the yard.

Li Erlang and the two put those knives and guns on the ground, Lin Chong sighed and didn't say anything when he saw it, while Li Yan frowned...... "You don't want to pick these things out, right?" ”

Song Wen asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Now it's really not strict, but this gun head appears more at once, and when it is seen by the messengers of the official office and the yamen, it is inevitable that they will be blackmailed...... Waist knives are not allowed to be carried casually. ”

"Where's the armor and the crossbow?"

"You're crazy, aren't you? War armor and crossbows are the bottom line of the imperial court, and whoever dares to hide them privately is tantamount to rebellion...... A two-stone hunting bow for hunting is okay, but not more than three-stone! ”

"Erlang, take it to the old blacksmith and ask him to fix it first and then hide it in the cave. Wrap it in oiled paper so that it doesn't rust. ”

"Erlang has an order!"

Li Yan squinted at Song Wen and asked, "You keep saying that you don't want to rebel, but the utensils used to make farm tools and soju can't use so much iron, what do you want to do?"

"Park Dao...... The Pu knife who cuts grass and chops wood and cares for the home is definitely not controlled by the government, right? ”

Song Wen remembered that the most common weapon in the Water Margin was this Pu knife!

The hilt is the same length as the blade, and the broad blade is thick and strong, which is between heavy and light weapons...... It is a very common popular weapon in the country grange. Those heroes of the rivers and lakes can find a simple knife and fight with the opponent for 300 rounds at every turn...... I remember that Song Jiang was still carrying a pole when he fled, but it should be mostly a scare factor.

"These iron materials are more than enough to make fifty strokes of Pu Dao, and the rest ......"

"The rest is to build some equipment, to refine the body, and to build a few iron bars that can be hung on the arms of the body...... It's definitely not a problem to carry weight or anything in the future. ”

"Hmm...... Count on you, little turtle man, who has money and nowhere to spend it! ”

Song Wen took out a few pieces of paper in his arms and said softly: "In the future, I plan to train these teenagers as my own children!" If you are clever, you have to ask your husband to teach you to read the classics, and at least everyone must be able to read and write...... The rest is to practice martial arts! Uncle Li, if there are good bones among these children, please ask Uncle Li to pick them out, and let's focus on cultivating a batch. The rest of them have to save up a set of simple and easy-to-learn kung fu, and let them all practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies......"

"Wait, Lao Tzu has just come back to taste...... If you beat iron bars and let them practice carrying weights, isn't that just for the future to wear heavy armor and fight? He also studied and practiced martial arts...... You still don't admit that you want to rebel? ”

Song Wen laughed...... "Hehehe...... Who said that if you practice martial arts, you have to rebel? Can't the caretaker protect the interests of his own territory? Even if we can't stand the murderous spirit of these sons and daughters in the future, let's choose a hill to help the government exterminate some thieves, and then ask the court to set up a military village? ”

"Military village? This...... There is a Mao military village next to Bianliang? Don't even have a bunch of thieves? ”

"Who said we have to hang out next to this Bianliang for the rest of our lives?"

"That's exactly what happened......"
