"Thermal expansion and cold contraction are nothing, these craftsmen are the ones who are really capable."

Zhao Ji was not moved in the face of praise, but sang praises for these craftsmen.

The craftsmen had probably never seen such a nobleman, and they were all a little excited to see him kind.

"The tools here look old, nothing new."

Zhao Ji grabbed the hand of a craftsman, looked at it carefully, and sighed: "Look at ......"

It was a swarthy hand, the skin on it was rough like tree bark, and it was cracked in many places, but there was no blood in it, and it turned out that the cracks were old wounds, and they had long since dried up.

The craftsman was embarrassed and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Zhao Ji shouted in a low voice: "Don't move!" ”

Steward Li scolded on the side: "This is the king, do whatever you want?" ”

The craftsman was frightened, glanced up at Zhao Ji, and trembled.

"This Hand ......"

Zhao Ji rubbed this rough big hand, and felt sour in his heart, and his eyes turned red.

"Is this the hand of the craftsman?" He was a little angry, "Look at this hand, it's the one that created the weapon to defend the country, but what did they get?" ”

He rolled his gaze and looked at Steward Li and sneered; "Look at you...... Those with fine skin and tender meat are still eating breakfast when they are all in time, and no one cares about such slack work? ”

An official who came with him immediately said: "If you turn around, you will punish this person." ”

"Punishment?"

Zhao Ji picked up a hammer, weighed the weight, and said to the craftsman: "You clamp the knife embryo, and I will beat it." ”

"Don't dare, king, villains don't dare."

The craftsman was stunned, and Zhao Ji frowned and said, "I can't help you anymore or what?" ”

The craftsman couldn't do it, so he grabbed a red-hot knife and put it on the table.

Clang!

Zhao Ji slashed and hammered.

His percussion was a little scattered, and the landing point was a little erratic, and Shen An would probably say that he was a new hand when he came.

Bang Bang Bang!

The beating continued, and the craftsman gradually immersed himself in it, holding the knife embryo with a clamp, and actively cooperating with Zhao Ji's beating rhythm.

The two gradually cooperated tacitly.

The craftsmen on the side stopped what they were doing and watched silently.

This is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, the future crown prince, but he actually works with us, who will believe this?

Zhao Ji was beating hard, and his speed began to slow down.

If you don't do this kind of work often, even if Hercules comes, it will be in vain.

"Slow down." The craftsman whispered: "Steady, one after another, don't change." ”

Any work has a rhythm, and if your rhythm is out of order, it will naturally consume more energy.

Those who know how to do it will take the initiative to find a rhythm that suits them, and those who don't know how to do it will rely on brute force to do it, and finally have to lose.

Zhao Ji felt extremely tired, and just when he wanted to give up, he felt strength surging out of his arm again.

This time he felt a little more relaxed, and the rhythm of the beating came out.

"It's like practicing knives."

He suddenly realized something, and the subsequent tapping was much easier.

When the red light of the blade gradually dissipated, the round of beating was over.

Zhao Ji put down the hammer, only to find that he was covered in sweat.

"It's hard!"

He stretched out his right hand, and there were several bumps at the base of his fingers.

It's blistered.

Wang Chongnian said nervously: "King, I want to invite Lang Zhong to take a look." ”

Zhao Ji said with a smile: "I used to blister when I practiced the knife, but now it seems that I have neglected to practice." It's not a big deal, when the time comes, get the hair to penetrate, and it'll be fine in two days. ”

The craftsman raised his head and said in surprise, "Does the king even understand this?" ”

Everyone was a little surprised, thinking that a big man like him was so golden and noble, could it be that the blistering palms of his hands were actually dealt with in such a vulgar way?

Zhao Ji smiled: "Yes, this method is better, keep your hair, and then pull it out when it is almost dry, so that you won't seal it again." ”

Expert!

As soon as I heard this, I was a person who had disposed of blisters many times.

The craftsmen immediately felt at home.

He sighed: "I just hit it and it blisters, and you wait to beat it all day and day, but it doesn't blister...... The palms of the hands are calloused...... Unfortunately, no one cared. Come. ”

"The King."

Officials stepped forward.

Zhao Ji instructed: "Go find the dark incense, just say that I said it, those gloves that have just been made...... Get them all. ”

The official was stunned, looked up and asked, "King, ...... gloves?"

"Just go!"

Zhao Ji frowned slightly, and there was some majesty emanating from it.

The official hurried away.

"Why aren't there enough people?"

Zhao Ji asked suddenly.

Steward Li subconsciously said, "I don't want to come." ”

"Why don't you come?"

Zhao's questions didn't stop.

"Villain...... The villain doesn't know. ”

Steward Lee's forehead began to sweat.

"It's not that you don't know, but you're in the same boat!"

Steward Li shouted loudly, and Zhao Ji said coldly: "That crystal hoof is expensive, but you can afford it." But the food box under the table is from Pan Lou Li's family. The Li family's food is not cheap, where do you get the money to eat? Well? ”

Steward Li didn't expect that Zhao Ji just looked outside the door and found out that he was wrong, he was shocked and said: "The villain is greedy, so he gritted his teeth and ate it once." ”

"Gluttonous?" Zhao Ji turned to those craftsmen and said, "I know that craftsmen are not easy, but as long as you can have a stable life, you will not avoid them like snakes and scorpions...... Tell me why? ”

The craftsmen looked at each other, then exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Steward Li lowered his head, looking sad, but the corners of his mouth were hidden purses.

Wang Chongnian felt that these craftsmen were really ignorant, "The king asked for the right to dispose of this matter in front of the emperor......

"I'm in charge of this matter." Zhao Ji nodded appreciatively at Wang Chongnian, it was very good to have such a subordinate who saw the needle, so he pointed to Steward Li and said, "I promise here, no matter what happens today, he will be disposed of!" ”

A steward can actually eat Fan Lou's wine and food, and Zhao Ji dares to die if there is no corruption in it!

Just when Steward Li's face changed greatly, a craftsman said happily: "What the king says can be counted? ”

Wang Chongnian said angrily: "The king asked for orders to come here today, and the assistants are also there." ”

In an instant, the craftsmen were frying.

"King, they withhold our money and food!"

"It's been a few years, and we have nowhere to complain!"

"They also brought us work from the outside, and they didn't pay a penny."

"Also, they also took a lot of iron materials privately, and later reported the loss ......"

“……”

Zhao Ji looked at Steward Li, who was sweating profusely, and said lightly: "What is this?" If you just take the iron material privately, then I still say that there is a bottom line. Withholding the money and food of the craftsmen, and taking the work outside to make them work for nothing, is this what people do? Brute! ”

Poof!

Steward Li knelt down in an instant.

"The king, the villain pleaded guilty."

The gap between him and Zhao Ji is too big, and once it is broken, there is no room for resistance at all.

Zhao Ji lowered his hand and asked, "Who else?" ”

"And ......"

A string of names was reported, Zhao Ji closed his eyes, and after he finished speaking, he asked, "Is there anything missing?" ”

Steward Li breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said, "The villain doesn't dare." ”

At such a time, he only asks for a lighter punishment, how dare he keep it a secret.

It's just that there are a lot of officials here, and this prince is just starting out, so he must not dare to take them all, but he has become a first-class bird......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and he actually sat there and cried.

"Your Majesty, it's all here." The attendants had already written down all their names.

"Go to someone, go to Zhang Banian of the Imperial City Division, and just say what I said, take people according to the roster."

"Yes!"

Do you want to use the Imperial City Division?

Steward Li couldn't help but be happy again when he thought that those people were unlucky with him. As a result, a snot bubble blew out when I laughed.

"Thank you, King!"

"The king is merciful."

The gratitude of the craftsmen is real, "In the past, some people have gone to complain, but Shangguan is a group, if it weren't for the king coming today, I would have to continue to suffer." ”

"Look at the king's palm, the blister is getting bigger and bigger......"

"Wang, a certain is the most experienced."

A craftsman plucked one of his own hair, looking jet black and shiny, but when he looked closely, it was covered with dirt and oily.

Wang Chongnian blinked, and just wanted to speak, but Zhao Ji smiled and said, "It's tiring like this." ”

The craftsman carefully pierced the blisters with his hair, and Zhao Ji was still talking.

"Is this work hard?"

"Bitter."

Seeing that he was kind, the craftsmen also spoke boldly, "Doing our is hard work, every day is beating and polishing, a pair of hands are worn out and good, and good and polished......"

Everyone showed their hands, all as rough as the bark of old trees, and some of them were cracked, and blood was spilling out, looking black and red.

"I'll figure it out!"

Zhao Ji didn't like to see the people at the bottom suffer, so when he had a seizure, he drove all the officials who accompanied him out.

"Go to Bishan Academy and let them get a bed."

"Go get it!"

A group of officials rushed to Bishan Academy with a bewildered face, and after saying their request, Wang Yan agreed without thinking about it.

While supervising their handling, Yang Yan asked, "Do you want to tell the edict about this matter first?" ”

Wang Yan shook his head, "These things have to be taken out for use after all, and private people don't give them unless they buy them with money." The official workshop can give a few to try, and then you want to ......"

"Give money!" Yang Yan suddenly realized, "If you don't want money if you don't want the edict, we can ask for it!" ”

"Clever, I learned something from someone." Wang Yan patted Yang Yan's shoulder coolly, and he had no doubts about Shen An's layout ability.

After the soil machine tool came out, the Zai Fu had seen the effect, and it stands to reason that Shen An should sell it.

But he didn't, he just waited for the time.

The opportune time came.

Zhao Ji's frenzy today will inevitably lead to the sideways eyes of the capital, and the effect of the soil machine tool will also be widely announced by the way.

The effect of this ad is amazing! And you don't have to give money!

But how did Shen An come up with such a good thing as a machine tool?

Wang Yan felt that he was unparalleled in his intelligence, but in many cases he was still intimidated by Shen An's endless knowledge.

He watched those officials struggling to carry the bed onto the carriage, and couldn't help but sigh: "In this world, except for Brother Anbei, who can stand side by side with a certain person?" Lonely! ”
