"This time, we don't want silver. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Yueyao gently pushed back the stack of silver tickets that Liang Da put on the table, "We want to deduct the materials." ”

"I wonder what Miss Wang wants?" Liang Da asked.

"Iron, pig iron, wrought iron." Wang Yueyao smiled.

Liang Da showed embarrassment on his face: "Miss Wang, you also know that this iron can be a strategic material and cannot be bought and sold at will, otherwise, it is a big crime." ”

"How can it be bought and sold at will?" Wang Yueyao chuckled: "General Liang, don't forget, the leader of my family is also the general of your Great Qi now, didn't Lord Shu tell you?" Selling iron to your own friendly units isn't illegal or isn't it? And General Liang should also know that we are about to go to Shayang County to fight, but we are poor and white, and it is not too much to want to get some iron to make some weapons, right? ”

Liang Da shrugged his shoulders, is Taiping City considered a Qi army? Well, in a way, they are. But Wang Yueyao is right, with this tiger skin to support, selling iron to them has become a big deal.

"Just the price?"

"We understand." Wang Yueyao raised a hand, "General Liang is naturally an understanding person, as long as it is not outrageous, we will recognize the slight price difference, and this is just a matter between you and us Taiping City, Lord Shu will never know." ”

Liang Da snorted a haha, no wonder Lord Shu fell in love with this woman after only meeting him once, such a smart, empathetic, and fairy-like woman, she is naturally loved by everyone.

"That's good!" Liang Da put away the silver ticket on the table and put it into his arms: "At most, in half a month, Taiping City will see this batch of iron ingots, but wrought iron is not good, it can only be wool iron." ”

Taiping City, Qin Feng is looking at the houses built entirely of stone, this is in the northern corner of Taiping City, the back is a cliff, in front, the wall of more than ten meters high completely separates this area from other cities, forming an independent small kingdom.

This is the factory area that Qin Feng attaches great importance to, and here, in the future, it will be not only the military factory of the Taiping Army, but also the money-making machine of Taiping City.

"Boss, I want to go back to the army, I want to go to the battlefield." Qin Feng walked from one house to another with his hands behind his back, and Ge Qingsheng, the city lord of Taiping City, accompanied him on the side, and behind Qin Feng, there was also a tail hanging from him, skillful. After coming out of the city lord's mansion, Qiaoshou has been following Qin Feng like this, crying with a sad face, and from time to time such a broken thought.

Qin Feng had a smile on his face, as if he hadn't heard the skillful hand at all, and ignored it, and Ge Qingsheng on the side had a gloating expression on his face.

The reason is very simple, because of his skillful hands, he was kicked out of the army by Qin Feng and thrown into Ge Qingsheng's mansion, serving as the supervisor of the workshop, and concurrently serving as the general supervisor.

Skillful hands are naturally unwilling, and they have been obsessed with Qin Feng, wanting to make Qin Feng change his mind and let him return to the army.

"The house is very well built. That's how the workshop should be. Walking out of the last house, Qin Feng couldn't help but praise Ge Qingsheng.

"Boss, I want to go back to the army, I want to go to the battlefield." The skillful hand on the side came up again, and a sentence came in Qin Feng's ear, which made Ge Qingsheng, who was about to be humble, embarrassed, and looked at the skillful hand that was almost attached to Qin Feng's body, he could only take a few steps back.

This is Qin Feng's hardcore old subordinate, don't look at Qin Feng transferred this guy to his subordinates, but the relationship between them cannot be compared, they are old brothers, and he can only be regarded as Qin Feng's senior worker.

"Skillful, you designed and supervised the creation of this symbol statue in the courtyard?" Qin Feng pointed to the huge statue at the entrance gate, which was a mighty man wearing only a pair of pants on his upper body, holding a hammer in one hand and a saw in the other, but carrying a big knife behind his back. It's just that this statue looks like a skillful hand.

"yes!" Skillful hands wept with sad faces. "Most of the craftsmen use hammers, chisels, saws, and the like."

"Why do you have a big knife behind you?"

"I want to tell all the people here that even if they are only craftsmen, they must always take on the responsibility of defending Taiping City, and the broadsword must be ready to be unsheathed at any time."

"Ah! That's what I mean. This logo statue is well designed. Qin Feng clapped his hands and praised: "In that case, why can't you stay here as a eunuch and have to go back to the army?" Here, can you defend our Taiping City? ”

"Boss, I want to go back to the army, I want to go to the battlefield." Skillfully drooping his head.

"Skillful, tell me, do our soldiers need weapons when they go to the battlefield? But where do the weapons come from? Here! Qin Feng pointed to the rows of houses behind him.

"Where does the money come from, for food, drink, and sleep? Here! ”

"This is a battlefield where there is no gunpowder." Qin Feng straightened up, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. "There are no sharp weapons here, strong shields are made, our soldiers will be at a congenital disadvantage on the battlefield, here can not make more money for Taiping City, our soldiers will be hungry, here, than you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy I don't know how many times more important!"

"Boss, I'm ......"

"Skillful, you are proficient in various manufacturing processes, ingenious, and the things you design are breathtaking, how many enemies can a person like you kill on the battlefield? Ten, a hundred or more? Even if you can kill so many enemies, will it be worth your work here? Your comrades, friends, will have a better chance of surviving on the battlefield because of the fruits of your labor, and they will be able to kill more enemies with the weapons you have created, which is the value of these skillful hands that God has given you. You just stand in front of this statue and give me a good reflection and reflection, when you figure it out, when you go to report to Lord Katsuragi. ”

Dropping these words, Qin Feng turned around and left, walked a few steps, but turned around again, looking at the skillful hand standing under the sculpture in a daze, "By the way, the appearance of this statue really looks like you, look, this is the will of heaven, you should be here, isn't it?" ”

Ge Qingsheng couldn't help laughing, and walked quickly with his head down, for fear that if he walked slowly, he would laugh wildly. Behind him, he sat on the ground with his hands and looked up at the statue, "Retribution, retribution!" "When he was making this statue at that time, he had a whim and printed his appearance, and he didn't pay attention to it at the time, but who knew that Boss Qin's eyes were so vicious. Well, now that I've been thrown here, in the dark, there is a cause and effect! The skillful hand hung his head, and from now on, he would say goodbye to the surging blood and passion on the battlefield, and instead spit stars with a group of craftsmen here.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Ge Qingsheng finally couldn't help laughing out loud, "General, this time the skillful hand can be regarded as lifting a stone and hitting his own foot and trapping himself, hahaha!" ”

"You've coveted him for a long time, didn't you just fulfill your wish this time?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, I have long wanted to get him here, but he is the general's brother, and he ******** want to go to the battlefield, I can't pry it! Now it's okay, I can let go of the prison piece, with his ability, plus Miss Wang, the superintendent of the Department of Commerce, Taiping City will definitely be rich in the future! Ge Qingsheng stroked his beard and shook his head.

"Most of the old people in the death camp are in a hurry and don't leave, fighting backwards, sometimes, they have to give them hard things, and there are no conditions to talk about. If you want to touch the hair, they dare to go to the end, since they have grabbed their sore spots, they naturally have to chase and fight. Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Then only the general has this prestige, we can't." Ge Qingsheng shook his head and said. "General, let me give you a report on the specific situation of Taiping City in the near future."

"Well, let's talk about it!"

"Let's talk about agriculture first, agriculture is the foundation of a country, although we have a small family, but this agricultural work is also sloppy. Since the beginning of spring, with our Taiping City as the center, a total of about 20 villages have been built, the largest of a few hundred, the smallest dozens of people, under the condition that we provide farm tools, seeds, and cattle free of charge, a total of more than 100,000 acres of barren land. The results are gratifying, now the seeds have been sown, the lower officials to see, those farmers are very attentive, take care of everything, although it is a raw field, but it is fertile, and there are these people who are proficient in agricultural affairs to take care of, it is estimated that by this autumn, Taiping City will usher in the first harvest year. At that time, it should be able to solve about half of the grain consumption in Taiping City. ”

"Also, the people sent out by Zou Ming a few years ago are still smuggling people who have escaped from the Qi-controlled area to us, and new villages are still being formed."

"We have asked these people to focus on those who have a skill, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, tailors, and so on."

"Now we have gathered about two hundred blacksmiths, more than three hundred carpenters, more than a hundred stonemasons, and the least number of tailors, only fifty, which is a bit of a gap compared to our huge demand."

Listening to Ge Qingsheng's report, Qin Feng asked, "This time we have captured tens of thousands of young men of the Shuntian Army, can't we find such a craftsman here?" ”

"General, we don't dare to use these people now, it will take a while to choose some docile ones in it, step by step." Ge Qingsheng said.

"You have a point, but you can make a statistic first, those who have a skill, put more effort into them, they were ordinary people not long ago, and they are not extremely vicious bad people."

"Yes!"

"In addition, don't always expect people to come in from outside, craftsmen, no matter where they are, are controlled, we still have to train a group of people to come out, and use them with confidence and comfort. Especially those who will have access to some core secrets in the future must be people who are completely trustworthy. ”

"This subordinate will be informed."

"Let's make use of the existing people first, Inspector Wang has already got a batch of Mao Tie from the Qi people, and I hope to see them turn into weapons and armor as soon as possible. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and have a strong army, armed to the teeth, in order to make our Taiping City truly peaceful. Qin Feng said. (To be continued.) )
