Xu Zhen walked in front of Blacksmith and saw the sample in his design.
The craftsman Xu Zhen had recruited was called Pu Feng.
He brought a five-year-old child with him and escaped from the famine. He came to Yanzhou around last year's winter disaster and stayed behind.
This was because working in the supply camp allowed one day off for every six days of work.
He also received a lot of salary.
It was almost ten times more than when he traveled all over the world to sell ironware. In short, not only would he not starve to death, but he could also save money to buy a yard.
Although he couldn't afford it now, living in the military camp was nothing.
In the blacksmith shop, there was a thin figure wearing only a single layer of clothing. He was blowing fire on an anvil. His face was charred black, and his beard was almost burnt off.
He was Jia Xu, in his second month in the supply camp.
He had been silently blowing fire and forging iron for more than forty days, which made Dian Wei feel very relieved.
He was a person who could hide his inner thoughts. Even as a Confucian scholar or a famous scholar, he had never cursed or broken his cultivation.
Seeing Xu Zhen, Pu Feng quickly walked out and respectfully cupped his fists." Sir, we have already made the first batch of the repeating crossbows you mentioned."”
"This is an exquisite model, and the large-scale giant repeating crossbow is still under research.”
"Hmm, let's see how far this can shoot today.”
"We've already tried. 200 steps, and it will be much weaker. Within 100 steps, the power is very great, and this is under the condition of adjusting the bullet line. We feel that it might be better if it can be made of iron. Also, the steel pouring method you mentioned last time…it might still take some time.”
Two hundred steps.
Xu Zhen narrowed his eyes. Actually, it was about the same. Within a hundred steps, it could have a strong penetrating power and could shoot ten consecutive shots.
It could be used with one hand.
This was the simplest and most exquisite repeating crossbow, and it was made using a mechanical method.
Xu Zhen took a look. It was not bad.
Pu Feng's technique was quite exquisite. The only regret was that he was currently the only one who could make such a crossbow. He could only produce one a day.
The others did not do so well.
"Very good. Let's mass produce them and speed up. This year, give one to each of my supply camp.”
"Yes, my lord…"
Pu Feng suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy. This was not a small project. It would take a long time to achieve such a high quality and quantity.
At this moment, a child suddenly came in front of Xu Zhen and bowed cutely." Greetings, Lord Xu. My name is Pu Yuan. I'm five years old this year. Can I help Father forge?"”
Pu, Pu Yuan?
Xu Zhen paused for a moment. This was a rather familiar name. If he remembered correctly…
Pu Yuan was a famous blacksmith in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
According to the Song Dynasty's Taiping Yulan, Pu Yuan had once made 3,000 sabers for Zhuge Liang in Xiegu.
The knife he made could split a bamboo tube filled with iron beads, and was known as the divine knife.
This kid was only five years old this year.
Xu Zhen was instantly amused and smiled." You want to help your father at such a young age?”
" Haha," Pu Feng laughed." Of course, sir. We've saved enough money this year to buy a small house. This kid will be six years old next year, and it's time for him to enter school! When the time comes, I'll have to find a good teacher."
Pu Feng stroked his son's head. He was so young, yet he was already so mature and clear in his actions. This meant that Pu Yuan's mind was not mature. If he were to become a Divine Craftsman in the future, it would be better to start training him now.
Xu Zhen nodded." How about this? Little Pu Yuan will learn from me in the future. He shouldn't be bad, right?"”
Pu Feng was instantly flattered!
Oh my god! Follow Lord Xu!
This…This was the blessing of their ancestors!
"Hurry up! Yuan 'er! Kneel down before Milord!"
"Hurry up and kneel. If you kneel, you'll be my disciple.”
Xu Zhen also winked and said. In ancient times, etiquette was extremely important, unlike modern times, where benefits were important.
Kneel, the ruler of the world, the personal teacher, and the teacher was also one of them.
She was behind the kiss.
This was morality.
Pu Yuan was also very obedient. He secretly glanced at Xu Zhen a few times and then looked at his father. Then, he knelt on the ground with a thud and said in a childish voice,"I, Pu Yuan, acknowledge Lord Xu Zhen as my master! From now on, he would definitely follow the etiquette and treat Daren as his biological father! For your retirement-"
" Alright, alright. You don't have to say that." Xu Zhen patted his head.
This child was honest.
Xu Zhen felt comfortable after taking in a Divine Craftsman as his disciple. At this time, Xu Zhen saw Jia Xu in the blacksmith shop. He held little Pu Yuan's hand and walked over, smiling as he said,""Mr. Wen He, how is life here?”
Jia Xu smiled bitterly and turned his head, saying,""Sir, Wenhe knows his mistake."
"What did you do wrong? On the battlefield, everyone serves their own master. It is the responsibility of a strategist to come up with strategies. You are not wrong.”
Xu Zhen said seriously.
Jia Xu was stunned.
Then you…then you treat me like this? Two months! Do you know how I've been these past two months?!
"You didn't apply either. You've been here for two months and you still don't know my camp rules? I have 18 positions that are suitable for you. Write an application to Guo Jia, and Zilong will arrange it for you.”
Xu Zhen selected the more active ones among the 500 people and organized the design institute.
Logistics Camp, Design Institute.
They specialized in designing blueprints for military equipment and agricultural and water conservancy equipment.
These were all more suitable for Jia Xu. After all, he had learned many things and knew many theories.
"If it doesn't work, then the armory, farming hall, medical hall, there are all suitable jobs for you as a scholar. You can get a set of clothes and toiletries, and then you can get your salary. You're a civil servant, 80 bushels, 20 silks, 10 taels of gold per month, and the house will be divided according to your performance at the end of the year.”
"I, I…I don't know…"
Jia Xu was instantly stunned. F * ck…After I came in, in order to not expose my thoughts of taking revenge on Lord Xu, I have been working hard and enduring hardships.
Waiting for an opportunity…I've been waiting for loneliness?
I hate it.
Jia Xu's heart was stuffed and depressed.
After Xu Zhen left, he went to the military supplies department and received a new set of equipment. The attentive officer even taught him how to use tap water.
After that, he arranged for him to have his own living quarters.
At night.
After receiving the month's military pay that was distributed in advance, he looked at the neat quilt on the bed and felt his head buzzing.
" Why do I suddenly have a feeling…that I'm very fortunate and happy…"
He looked at the money and food and thought of his hard work. He actually felt a sense of accomplishment.
"What's wrong with me? Shouldn't I hate this place?”
"No, no, no. There must be something wrong. I shouldn't feel happy…"
I was clearly being exploited! How can I be happy when I get paid?
Jia Xu was instantly stunned. There couldn't be some monster in this logistics camp, right? Why was it that after working hard for more than 40 days, he suddenly felt so happy when he received money?
P.S.: Yanzu, Tianle, don't stay up late. Go to sleep. Good night. I'll update early tomorrow.
