As the saying goes, there are three hundred and sixty industries in this world, and craftsmen are indispensable.

No matter what you do, there are craftsmen, for example, a teacher is called a teacher, a painter is called a painter, and to build a house, you have to find a mason and a carpenter.

Therefore, no matter what time it is, craftsmen are not uncommon, but there are only a few who can meet the requirements of Meng Feihang.

After Chu Yujia returned to the Earl's Mansion and was scolded by his own lady, and watched his daughter being beaten up, he began to think about this matter.

No matter what Chu Yujia's temperament was, Meng Feihang was quite stingy anyway, and he didn't want his skills to pass on.

After all, he himself knew that if he could suddenly surprise the world, then it would be at least ten years earlier before the goal he wanted to achieve in his heart, but if it was spread out, it would not be easy to do.

Therefore, the most important thing in selecting craftsmen is to be credible.

In fact, it is the quickest and most convenient for them to select directly from the army, after all, Meng Feihang has already explained the stakes of the ordnance battalion.

But to put it bluntly, the army is a group of big bosses, and it's okay to let them do some hard work, but if they are directly asked to do this kind of technical work, it will be a bit difficult for strong people.

However, everything is afraid of people to do, Chu Yujia just calmed down and thought about it, and thought of such a person.

Chu Yujia's ability comes from the Ye State Martial Arts Sect, the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, and there is such a person in this Sword Sect, this person's name is Xuan Qi.

Xuan Qi is a closed disciple of the master of the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, his attainments in martial arts are mediocre, but he is very intelligent, he doesn't like martial arts, he likes to study some things like Meng Feihang on weekdays, if you count them, he is still Chu Yujia's senior brother.

It's just that as soon as this person's name appeared in Chu Yujia's mind, he immediately vetoed it.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because he doesn't want to expose all his hole cards so early, and he doesn't want to trouble his master so early.

Immediately, he could only send Xu Gaoda to the people to find some reliable craftsmen to recruit into the army, promising preferential treatment such as high military salaries, and then let Zhuang Jiade find competent grassroots soldiers in the army.

Now that the envoys of the two countries are in Yueling, they should be accompanied by members of the royal family when they travel and play, and Zhao Yan, the king of Ye, is obviously not interested in having children at all, and the adult son is only Zhao Kuan, and the task of accompanying the two princesses on the trip naturally fell on his head.

And in order to avoid embarrassment in a certain situation, Zhao Kuan went to the door and asked Chu Yujia to accompany him.

But letting Chu Yujia come over is purely embarrassing, after all, the relationship between Chu Yujia and Wang Yunning is already on the same footing, and it is completely impossible to reconcile.

However, there is also a Yuan Wanyu, Chu Yujia and Yuan Wanyu can talk very well, at least the two of them don't need to quarrel.

Although Yuan Wanyu said that the face is noble and elegant, not like a mortal, but in fact it is a little girl's temper, through the past few years of raising a baby, Chu Yujia still has some experience in how to take care of girls, although Yuan Wanyu is ten years older than Xiao Yao'er, but women are still women after all, as long as they are not married, they are all children, and even if they are married, they are still children.

"Yueling, really live up to the reputation of the first city in the northwest, the customs here are very good. ”

Walking on the street, Yuan Wanyu is still covered with white gauze, and women's covering is not the tradition of the Mingwu Empire, but she is more shy.

"Ye country is like a specialty here, like a jade, although nearly half of the land in the northwest is yellow sand, but yellow sand also has the beauty of yellow sand. ”

Chu Yujia chuckled: "One side of the water and soil raises the other side of the people, although we are poor in Ye country, but the poor have the happiness of the poor, and the people of Ye country are also hospitable, this is not a suitable place for many people to live in, but for me, this is the most beautiful place, a place that will not get tired of staying for a lifetime, and will never want to leave for a lifetime." ”

"yes......"

Yuan Wanyu nodded and said, "I like it here too." ”

"Stay longer if you like. ”

At this time, Zhao Kuan and Wang Yunning, who were in front, had already stopped, and Chu Yu Jiayuan and Wan Yu also stopped, and there was an armory shop where they stopped.

This place of Ye country, for a long time, even the capital is not the safest place, after all, surrounded by enemies, so it has created a fierce folk customs, and it is not uncommon to buy and sell swords or something, but in recent years, Ye country has begun to control the iron trade, and these weapons shops do not dare to buy and sell large objects on the bright side, and only some small objects such as bows and arrows and daggers are placed on the stalls at the door.

Wang Yunning grabbed a light bow casually, looked at Zhao Kuan excitedly, and said, "Brother Kuan, you teach me archery!"

"Yes. ”

Zhao Kuan said with a smile: "If Sister Ning is interested, we can go to the shooting range." ”

"There's a shooting range?"

Wang Yunning said with a look of surprise: "Where is it, let's go now." ”

"It's just outside the city, but it's ......"

Zhao Kuan glanced back at Yuan Wanyu and said, "Sister Yu wants to go together?"

"Me?"

Yuan Wanyu was a little embarrassed: "I'm still not going, I'm not very interested in these." ”

"Sister Yu, you just go with you. ”

Wang Yunning lost the-for-tat appearance with her before, she really looked like a big sister, and smiled gently: "Sister Yu won't remember her sister's hatred, if she still holds a grudge, my sister will apologize to you, and I will accompany my sister to the shooting range to have a look......"

She said so, what else can Yuan Wanyu say?

In the south of Yueling City, there is a small lake of small scale, which is the place where the moat water is introduced, there are several small forests on the edge of the lake, it is picturesque every year in this season, and a grassland is circled out in the middle, there is a shooting range, there is a horse farm, there is a stage for everyone's entertainment, there is a rest area, and a small pavilion, the rich boy brother who comes to play on weekdays, the rich lady is countless.

The group of them were all dressed in ordinary casual clothes, and they were no different from ordinary rich boys.

This kind of dress is nothing more than to not attract everyone's attention, otherwise it will be watched as a rare animal wherever you go, and it is not a fun thing.

Zhao Kuanming was the one who was in charge of this group, and Chu Yujia was obviously the one who ran errands.

Although it doesn't cost money to enter here, it costs money to rest in the rest area, as well as tea, melon, fruit and snacks, and it is not cheap, at least more than three times that of the outside.

But these are not the masters who are short of money, on the way here, Chu Yujia took Zhao Kuan's front bag away, although he was throwing silver all the way, but after all, it was Zhao Kuan's money, and he didn't feel distressed when he spent it.

The place where they were sitting was opposite a ring, and at this time there were two people standing in a south and a north facing each other.

Seeing this, Yuan Wanyu's eyes showed a curious look.

Chu Yujia noticed this small change, so he said: "Almost all of the people who can come here are the children of the official eunuchs in the city, or the children of wealthy merchants, and some of the people who go to the ring are these people competing with each other, and some of them are familiar with the children of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Hmmm......"

Yuan Wanyu nodded, then turned his head to look at Chu Yujia, and said, "Have you been up before?"

"Of course I've been there. ”

Without waiting for Chu Yujia to reply, Zhao Kuan on the side said with a smile: "But this kid didn't go up to compete, but went up to beat ......."

"Eldest son, how do you say this?"

Hearing this, Yuan Wanyu became interested, so she asked, "With General Chu's ability, will he still be beaten?"

Zhao Kuan peeled an orange and threw it into his mouth, and continued: "Then you have to see who he fights with." ”

"Fight with whom?"

Yuan Wanyu asked.

"My cousin ......"

Zhao Kuan looked at Chu Yujia with ill will.

Chu Yujia couldn't help but blush.

Zhao Kuan continued: "At the beginning, this kid pursued my cousin like crazy, and that day he caught up with my cousin and got into the ring with interest, but as a result, this guy got into the ring as soon as his head was hot and was beaten by my cousin for a fat meal, which made me laugh to death......"

Yuan Wanyu obviously found that the eldest son, who said a few words that laughed to death, had no smile on his face, and even showed an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Yuan Wanyu turned her head to look at Chu Yujia again, and asked softly, "What about after that?"

Who can Zhao Kuan's cousin be?

Naturally, it's a strange palace.

Thinking of Gong Limo, Chu Yujia's face involuntarily smiled, and said, "After that, he gave birth to a girl for me." ”

"That's fine......"

For some reason, although she knew that Chu Yujia had become her own son, she was inevitably a little disappointed when she heard him say it in person.

It was at this time that an unusually chaotic sound came.

The eyes of several people were involuntarily attracted to the past.

When I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes, who was carrying a horsewhip and beating a scrawny young man fiercely.

The young man was unkempt and his clothes were very tattered, and when he whipped him, he rolled his skin and flesh all over the ground.

"It's not me, I didn't take it, it's not me, don't hit me......"

"You didn't take it?"

The middle-aged man had a fierce face and said fiercely: "I'm not old, and I've learned to steal, see if I don't kill you!"

Being whipped on his body by a leather whip, even a man in the prime of life can't stand it, let alone a skinny teenager, his cry is terrible: "Master, don't beat me, it's not me ......"

There were also a lot of people watching the excitement around, but no one went up to pay attention to it at this time, just watching this scene coldly from the sidelines.

After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in this era, and many families cannot afford to raise so many children, so they can only sell their children to large families as slaves.

This is actually not bad, after all, in a large family can still have enough food, every month the head of the family will also give the slave some monthly salary, if you are lucky, meet a good family master, at the age of marriage The head of the family will also help to talk about family affairs.

Even if you don't help to say goodbye, when you reach the age and save enough money, you can redeem yourself and go out to be an ordinary person.

But although there is a lot of light in the world, there is still darkness, and there are no longer a few slaves who are beaten to death and tortured to death by the head of the family every year.

Obviously, this young man just didn't meet a good master, and the people around him were not surprised.
