"Uncle, wake up - I want to sign up."

Her voice was loud and clear, startling the half-asleep middle-aged man who almost fell off the bench with a big ass.

He hurriedly straightened his hat: "Who, who wants to sign up?" ”

"Sang Xuanqing, I want to sign up for this recruitment of stonemasons."

She quickly put her face forward, hoping that the recruiter, who didn't have good eyes, could see her.

"Oh, Sang Xuanqing, huh, how does this name sound familiar?" The middle-aged man couldn't think of it for a while, he pouted his eyes and glanced at her a few times, and retracted his neck: "Are you Sang Xuanqing?" No, no, we only recruit men, not women. ”

He waved his hand and shook his head in refusal.

Zheng Quqi sighed: "It's not me, it's my second brother." ”

The middle-aged man realized that he had misunderstood, he picked up the brush, and planned to record: "Oh, it's your second brother, right, he's a stonemason?" Which village, is it on the rating? ”

Zheng Quqi blinked his eyes: "He is a carpenter, but he can also do the work of a stonemason." ”

"Hey, you little girl, why are you playing with me, that's not good, a carpenter is a carpenter, a stonemason is a stonemason." The middle-aged man's face was angry, and he snapped the pen and flatly refused.

Although they are the same craftsmen, they are all classified as craftsmen, so how can they be confused?

Stonemasons are more respected than carpenters.

Because the craftsmanship of stonemasons is more difficult, if you can choose, or ordinary people with good family backgrounds, they will prefer stable stone houses to wooden houses, and the category of stonemasons also includes building walls, carving stone tablets, cutting rough stones, etc., and it is also a group of craftsmen who consume more physical strength.

was rejected again, Zheng Quqi was not discouraged, but anyone who has been to the job fair to find a job in the society knows that it is difficult to find a high-paying job, and the more competitive the position, the more it tests people's adaptability, how can she retreat because of one or two failures.

As long as she thinks of the three people in the family who are waiting to be fed, as well as the first year of unmarried tax owed by "Sang Xuanqing", she can't watch the ten yuan fly away like this.

She pondered for a long time, and finally remembered something important.

She pressed her hands on the table and asked the middle-aged man recruited: "Uncle, do you have any Mu Gongguan in the supervisor of this fortification?" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyelids wrinkled, and he was surprised: "Do you know Mu Gongguan?" ”

Listening to this tone, Gong Guan Mu should also be there, that's great.

"I don't know, my second brother knows, please tell him, just say that Sang Xuanqing wants to participate in this project."

"Does your brother really know Officer Mu?" The middle-aged man still didn't believe it when he heard it.

"Really, my second brother built a camp in Changtame Slope with Gongguan Mu some time ago, if you don't believe it, don't you just ask?"

Repair the camp village, Sang Xuan Qing ...... This sentence was like electricity, instantly lighting up the consciousness that the middle-aged man had been hazy before.

Alas! He remembered.

Isn't Sang Xuanqing the Sang Xuanqing who built the "earthening tool" that Mu Gongguan said!

As soon as he thought of this, his eyes looked at Zheng Quqi a little differently.

She is the sister of that Sang Xuanqing?

He stroked his beard and nodded: "Okay, I'll ask for you, but why didn't your second brother come by himself?" ”

"Oh, he's going to visit his family, let me help him sign up."

The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to the contradictions in these words for a while, his mind was elsewhere.

He felt that this Sang Xuanqing did have some skills, and Mu Gongguan did praise Sang Xuanqing, so it was not difficult to help him.

In the future, Sang Xuanqing will evaluate the level of craftsmen, and when he is really promising, maybe he will have to ask the other party.

When Officer Mu heard that the recruited officials came over to help spread the word, the people were a little stunned.

Sang Xuanqing?

How did he apply for a place as a stonemason?

No, isn't he a carpenter?

"What's going on?" He asked Zhang Mi, the recruiting officer.

Zhang Mi is a middle-aged man who dealt with Zheng Quqi before.

He said: "It was a black girl who came, saying that she was signing up for her second brother." ”

"What else did she say, her second brother is Sang Xuanqing, but isn't he a carpenter?"

"She said she was a carpenter, but she also worked as a stonemason."

Mu Ke muttered to Pian Ke, and suddenly smiled: "This is blinded by money, belch, she doesn't know how difficult it is to build the city wall this time, if she really announces the truth to the outside world, I'm afraid that no matter how much money she has, no one will dare to try." ”

"Yes, it's too difficult, I don't know how many people died of exhaustion, hardship, and falling, and now who can repair the ghost slope city wall in Fu County, it's simply a matter of benefiting a hundred years."

"This is the ...... I also have to go to the top in person, Sang Xuanqing's situation is different, whether you pass or not depends on the meaning of the above. ”

——

Mulberry house

Not long after Zheng Quqi went out to the county seat, Yu Wensheng took down the letter from the gray pigeon and read it, and then disappeared into the mulberry house.

Long tame camp

"General, where's Madame?"

Wei Yao looked behind him.

Yu Wensheng narrowed his eyes under the mask and looked at Wei Yao: "She is your mother?" ”

Otherwise, he cared so much about her absence?

“…… It's a subordinate privilege. ”

Wei Yao thought to himself, as long as I am thick-skinned enough, I will not be afraid of the general's poisonous tongue attack.

Wang Zebang also greeted him at this time: "General, the stone throwing platform of the Julu Country has already begun to scale, do you want to go and see it?" There are also thousands of cars that were transported back before, and the craftsmen did not dare to dismantle them without authorization, fearing that the damaged structure would not be able to be restored, so they were about to ask you for instructions. ”

"Then I'll go over and see."

When I came to the school grounds, there was a large apparatus there, the main components were wooden frames, pulleys, short shafts, and ropes, and the core components were pulleys.

It is indeed similar to the earthenware made by Sang Xuanqing before.

In addition to the craftsmen, there was also a woman wearing an ordinary craftsman's uniform, her facial features were jade and gentle, her wide sleeves and trousers were tied with ropes, and her long hair was tied behind her waist, looking like she was working neatly.

At this time, she was not too hard to work, and was helping to adjust the equipment.

"The general is here."

When the craftsmen saw Yu Wensheng coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask for a gift.

"General, it's a success, it's a success!"

The craftsmen excitedly asked him for credit.

The woman was startled, and when she turned around and saw the tall figure wearing a Shura mask and wearing a black armor and red cloak, she couldn't help but purse the corners of her lips, and stood there in a low and generous manner, blessed herself.

Yu Wensheng stepped forward and looked at the heavy machine, it was very different from the appearance of the wreckage he brought back, and it was basically restored, but he didn't know how effective it was?

"Have you tried it?"

"It has been tried, it can throw boulders below three or four hundred catties, and it can be raised and lowered three zhang high for lookout, and it will be used to climb the city wall and fight remotely."

A gentle female voice sounded at this moment.

The craftsmen looked at Gongyi Lan one after another, thinking of her recent contributions and help, and couldn't help but praise one after another: "Gongyi girl is really impressive, if it weren't for her guidance, this complex process of lifting equipment would only take a little more effort." ”

"yes, yes."

Wang Zebang was also rare to be kind to a person at this time: "The public loser girl is worthy of being a public loser, and her ingenuity is indeed unusual." ”

"Where, compared to my brother's magic work, I am not as good as one or two." She blushed a little from their compliments.

But he is still not as uncomfortable as ordinary women, but he is generous and straightens his back and accepts all praise.

She looked at Yu Wensheng with a slight flickering in her eyes, wondering what kind of opinion he would have of her, but she saw the corners of his mouth curled up, as if smiling: "In this way, so many well-known craftsmen in Ye Country are not as good as a woman from a public loser clan, so what's the use of this general keeping you people who have no name?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt like someone was stabbed in the chest, the blood flowed backwards, and the smile and joy on their faces instantly coagulated.

Wang Zebang immediately realized his mistake just now.

The loser is a person from the Beiyuan Kingdom, and the craftsmen of their Ye Kingdom touted a person from the Beiyuan Country so much, wouldn't they tear off the dignity and face of their country and trample it into the ground?

As soon as the air dropped below zero, everyone trembled and did not dare to speak at will.

Fortunately, Yu Wensheng didn't really plan to pick off their heads at this time, he smiled harmlessly and naturally: "Don't boast? Well, let's test it out. ”

“…… Yes, yes. ”

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, this time, no one paid attention to the matter of Gong Yilan, but concentrated on the placement of this new instrument.

"Put the stone!"

"Cast!"

Boom!

There should be a distance of 100 meters.

Yu Wensheng narrowed his eyes and rubbed his fingertips a few times: "Go on." ”

"Put the stone!"

"Cast!"

Boom!

"Go on."

……

After repeating this four times, there was a sound like a broken wood with a "click", and Yu Wensheng's ears were keen, but he had already caught the abnormal sound on the first time.

At this time, the sound was no longer subtle, and everyone was shocked, stopped the action of putting stones, and hurriedly ran to check, and finally determined that the fixing plate was broken and loosened.

The next second, smack! The whole broke and collapsed.

The corners of Yu Wensheng's mouth were hooked with a wicked smile, and his eyes were gloomy.

Since all this happened, everyone's legs have weakened, and they don't even dare to make a sound.

What's going on? How could this happen?

Gong Yilan also looked incredulous.

She quickly ran over, inspected the pile of wood residue, and finally muttered: "Obviously the base has been reinforced, why did it break after less than ten throws, could it be that the hardness of the wood is not enough, or ......?"

Yu Wensheng's mocking voice sounded behind her: "The lifting equipment of the Julu Kingdom can adjust its position independently, and it can throw stones sixty to eighty times in the time of a cup of tea, but now it can't even withstand it a few times. ”

The craftsmen's voices trembled, and they felt that they could still fight for their dog's life: "I, we will continue to ......"

"Wei Yao, show them the drawing." Yuwen Sheng said.

"Yes."

The craftsmen took a drawing suspiciously and apprehensively, and after reading it carefully, although they couldn't understand what was written on it, the drawing of the instrument on the drawing was almost like a real appearance, but they all looked straight at it.

Yu Wensheng seemed to be worried that the stimulation for them was not enough, and added slowly: "Isn't it very light and simple to look at, but it can bear three or four hundred catties of soil, and the chassis can easily rotate at will and adjust the orientation." ”

They were stunned.

"W-What is this?"

"You can't even understand what it's for, hehe~" Yu Wensheng's lips smiled like a spring breeze, but his eyes swept over them like scraping flesh and bones: "General Ben spends 100 gold every year to raise you waste, and now he has no achievements, but he can still live with peace of mind, what makes you think that General Ben is very generous?" ”

Poof! Everyone was so frightened that they knelt down.

Wang Zebang recognized the drawing, which was drawn by Sang Xuanqing.

Seeing this, he sighed helplessly as if he had a premonition.

General, I still haven't let go of Sang Xuanqing.

Gong Yilan's face was ugly, and Yu Wensheng was not only embarrassing the craftsmen, but also slapping her face.

"This is supposed to be a lifting machine, but its structure is very simple, it is impossible to lift such a heavy object under heavy load, I don't know who drew the drawings, maybe the general was deceived by someone-"

"Male loser girl." Wang Zebang quickly interrupted her and didn't let her continue.

If she completely angered the general, even if she lost the public and came, she would not be able to save her life.

They had witnessed the authenticity of this drawing, so even if it was a reasonable guess, the general would think that she was slandering and questioning it.

He told her: "This drawing is true, this is called earthenware, it was made by a carpenter in Fuxian County when he was building a camp, and this is not a false name." ”

Gong Yilan's eyes widened when he heard this.

The craftsmen were even more incredulous when they heard this.

Carpenters in Fu County? I'm afraid that this kind of country carpenter can't even be rated at the level of a craftsman, can he make such a wooden machine?!

Yu Wensheng looked at them all stupid and decadent, which was very different from the previous appearance of being complacent and as if they had achieved much.

Yu Wensheng lowered his voice, lingering in his ears like a magic chant: "Now, you should know that Ye Guo is not without skilled craftsmen, but you have always worked behind closed doors, that's all." ”

That's it, the four-character evaluation simply knocked a group of arrogant craftsmen into scum.

Their faces were suddenly as dead as ashes, as if they were mourning arsenic.

In the eyes of the general, these excellent craftsmen selected from all over the country are not as capable as a carpenter in the countryside.

Wei Yao and Wang Zebang glanced at each other, but they both felt strange, today's general seems to be much better tempered than in the past, if it was in the past, he might have buried a few unfavorable craftsmen to set an example.

But today, his emotions and sanity are in danger several times, but they have never reached the point of being on the verge of getting out of control...... After thinking about it, there didn't seem to be anything special affecting him lately, except-

The general married the general's wife.

The eyes of the two suddenly woke up.

Shout out the magic.

It turns out that to cure the madness and murderous madness left behind by a person who gets out of control on the battlefield, all you need to do is give him a soft wife?

At this time, a soldier trotted over: "General, Engineer Mu has brought a list of stonemasons, saying that there is a matter that you need to see for yourself." ”
