"Teacher, the disciple is not a divine craftsman, but Master Mo is the real divine craftsman, I hope you treat him better. Qingyang Zi hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, you are a craftsman in my eyes, and you did all the things that were placed on my head, I don't need those false names, you should take back your honor. Ding Kui did not accept the explanation.

"You spare the disciple, who in the world doesn't know that you created the civilian magic props?"

Pioneers are not necessarily the most capable, but they are certainly the most imaginative, and many master craftsmen lack either skill or imagination.

Today, Ding Kui deliberately went to the hot spring park construction site to inspect, and by the way, he was told about the ink by Qingyang Zi, who was familiar with all the divine craftsmen in the Shenyuan Continent, and immediately told the origin of the ink utensils.

"There's nothing on the site that you need to keep an eye on, so follow me back to the county, and in a few days the ink will be available, and if you can, you can persuade him to submit to me." ”

The most important project on the construction site is the Huadao sled, Qingyang Zi has drawn all the drawings, the process has been explained clearly to the construction team, and the rest of the work can be done by the construction team.

Juyangcheng has a construction bureau, a construction team under the construction bureau, and the construction bureau is responsible for the construction of the Dingfu project, and the quality of the project is guaranteed.

"Really escort Master Mo as a prisoner! Teacher, this, this, it's very inappropriate. Qingyang Zi couldn't speak when he was in a hurry.

"Don't worry, I know what you want but I can't help it, Master Mo is not an ordinary person, he united with the city lord to defeat Mo Jun, although he didn't hurt a few of us, but he also committed public anger, I don't think it will be possible to treat him well."

I specially instructed Mo Jun not to hurt Master Mo, he will suffer a little but he can't be hurt, and I will treat him well when I get to the county town. "Ding Kui can't give preferential treatment to ink tools now, the infantry regiment and the strong crossbow regiment must be uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Hey, the imperial court treats the Mo family well, Master Mo naturally regards you as an enemy, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of interests, as long as you have some interests, he should consider serving you. Qingyang Zi can see it clearly.

"In this way, how about you say that he will be knighted? No matter how much benefit the puppet court gives to the Mo family, it is impossible to be knighted, and I, I can!"

Plopped, Qingyang Zi knelt down in front of Ding Kui, "Only the teacher in the world treats craftsmen the best! disciple thank you on behalf of all craftsmen in the world!" After speaking, he kowtowed.

To say that he doesn't envy the ink is fake, but he understands Ding Kui, if he really knights the Mo family, then the Qingyang family will definitely have a chance.

It is impossible for a craftsman to become a nobleman in a foreign country, and it can be said that Ding Kui is the best lord for craftsmen in the world, and only the court dominated by him will treat craftsmen well.

"Eh, hurry up. Ding Kui immediately pulled up the cheap apprentice, "The craftsmen who built the country are the same as the literati and soldiers, why can't they become aristocrats? As long as the contribution is big enough, anyone deserves everyone's respect." ”

This shocking sentence frightened the people next to him.

Since ancient times, craftsmen and merchants were not treated well by the Senate, which believed that they were all in the service of the nobility, not those who could become nobles.

Long Yan hurriedly reminded: "Master, should I discuss this matter with Jiang Guogong? ”

She was specially called by Ding Kui to see the gift for her son, and it will also be a place for Jingjing to play in the future.

"Consultation is to discuss, it's just a matter of trying to say it decently, after all, we have to implement this matter, do you think Qingyang Zi is not worthy of the respect of others?" Ding Kui decided to promote the knighthood of craftsmen.

"Well, Madame is for your sake, the disciple is nothing in front of the elder, and it is a great fortune to be able to get the elder to take a fancy to the disciple's craftsmanship. "Qingyang Zi is a little weak-hearted.

The relationship between the Qingyang family and the Jiang family is quite good, otherwise Qingyang Mu would not have forged a sword for the Jiang family, but this relationship is similar to that of a master and servant, and Qingyang Zi is in awe of Jiang Li.

"You are all bound by rotten ideas, no wonder the industry of this world is still so backward. Hey, there's a long way to go. Ding Kui said something that made everyone inexplicable.

Indeed, I didn't understand Ding Kui, the word "industry" is too advanced, and the Shenyuan world is in the era of farming, but the magic civilization is more advanced, magic replaces industrial technology, and it is more difficult for industrial civilization to develop.

"Report, Master Zhong was defeated in Taihe City, lost thousands of soldiers and horses, and now has returned to Xinfeng City to rest. ”

Before Ding Kui left Gongzhuling, a horse sent bad news.

"What?" Ding Kui was shocked and angry, "What kind of place is Shibu County? Why did the Protector Red Army lose again and again? Xiaoyan, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back to the county first." ”

He immediately ordered his entourage to prepare horses, and took Qingyang Mu to hurry back to Nanqiu County.

The news of Tanma was simple, but Zhong Wei would definitely send the detailed battle report back to the military order branch.

Mo Jun was unfavorable, and he had already tasted the first defeat in Binlai City, and the soldiers and horses led by Zhong Wei in the middle of the road began to be better, and successfully captured the first city, Xinfeng City, but he didn't expect to encounter trouble when attacking the second city.

"Shibu County Shoulei gathered the city defense troops of ten cities and formed the 'Shibu Division', and it was this Shibu Division that attacked the military camp of Commander Zhong at night, resulting in the defeat of the Middle Route Army. Fei Ze was waiting for Ding Kui to come back at the military order branch.

Ding Kui didn't open the military newspaper and asked: "Zhong Weinai is an old man in the army, he has rich experience in the battlefield, how could he be defeated by a night attack? Isn't Kong Ren also in the camp?"

"Zhong is camping near the river. ”

"So what? With the river as a barrier, if necessary, water can be used to make fire, and there is nothing wrong with having military rules to follow. Ding Kui simply threw the general newspaper on the table.

Zhong Wei did not expect that someone could lurk in such cold river water for so long, so he neglected the defense of the river, which led to the success of the enemy's night attack. Fei Ze has read the military newspaper by heart.

"This," Ding Kui was stunned, "how long have the enemy been lurking in the water?"

"According to post-war analysis, the enemy lurked for a day and half a night. ”

Now Ding Kui understood, even if he couldn't imagine that there were troops that could lurk for so long, this kind of river water was mixed with ice, which was close to zero temperature, even if there was no shortage of oxygen, few people could carry it in such cold water for so long.

He asked again, "What are the specialties of Taihe City?"

"You got to the point, Taihe City is rich in otter skins, and almost all of the water in Nanmarsh Prefecture is supplied by Taihe City. Fei Ze's prepared explanation was useless.

With Ding Kui's wisdom, it is not difficult to understand where Zhong Wei was defeated.

Ding Kui blamed himself: "It's me who is reckless! Hey, so you can't underestimate the craftsman!"

A small otter skin can influence a battle, and Mo Jun is helpless in the face of the bamboo shed in Binlai City.

If you don't know astronomy and geography, how can you be a general? The Red Army does not yet have the ability to go out on its own. ”

"In fact, Lei Wei's calculation was very deep, long before our army arrived, he applied otter oil to the wooden board and dried it, deliberately placed it in a conspicuous place for our army to use, and deliberately attacked with fire during the night attack, so that our army could not extinguish the fire. Most of our officers and men were wounded in the fire. Fei analyzed the enemy's tactics.

"Lei Wei, this is to force me to kill you!" Ding Kui was very distressed.

More than 1,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, this was the worst defeat of the Red Army since it was formed, although Zhong Wei led not the most elite group of people, but it was enough to make the Red Army of the Protectorate a great injury, and it would take at least half a year to make up for the loss.

"Where is Chief of Staff Jiang? No, wait for me to go to Shibu County in person. Ding Kui originally wanted Jiang Zhi to replace Zhong Wei, but after thinking about it, he decided to go out in person.

Fei Ze immediately persuaded: "Please think twice, the subordinates think that Master Zhong should be given a chance to make meritorious contributions, so that Chief of Staff Kong can also be relieved of his guilt." ”

"It's not that I don't want to give it a chance, human lives are at stake! If they lose again, how many people will have to die? I can't afford to toss like this. Ding Kui couldn't rest assured.

"To put it irreverently, when you decided to send them on an expedition, you should take the risk at this time, and you should not repeat it as you please. Fei had to add to his rhetoric.

You Ding Kui had to send them at the beginning, and you had to replace them as soon as you lost the battle, which is irresponsible to them and not responsible for yourself.

It means that, and Fei is just another way of saying it.

Ding Kui's face froze, and he realized the problem, "But I have such a little money, I'm afraid that they will squander it." His attitude softened.

"Your family is your hard work, and their squandering is equal to your squandering, which is your responsibility, and you must be able to afford to let go.

If you are really not at ease, you can go to Weifu. Fei proposed a compromise.

Taste the bitter wine he brewed by himself, and Fei did not persuade from the strategic level, but advised Ding Kui from the level of being the master of the house.

Defeating a battle requires death, but sometimes sacrifices are made to maintain the majesty of the ruler.

"Is there no other way? Why don't you bring a force to reinforce it?" Ding Kui found that there were not many military staff officers available at critical moments.

"You don't have to worry so much, you have to believe in Zhong Wei and Kong Ren's ability, didn't you say that you will grow wise after eating a trench, and with the lesson of Taihe City, they will pay attention to it next. Fei insisted on not sending people to Shibu County.

Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, because of a defeat and denying his generals is a taboo, Fei Ze will never allow Ding Kui to make such a mistake, even if Zhong Wei may be defeated again, it will have to wait for Zhong Wei to be defeated again before being replaced.

Ding Kui understood this truth, but he couldn't bear it when he thought that he might sacrifice more soldiers, and was later evaluated by Shaodianluan as a small family.

Fei Ze didn't dare to comment on the lord like this, but said: "There must be sacrifices in the war, Zhong Wei and the others have grown up to be just a few divisions and sacrifice a few people, but if the lord grows up, it will be a million army with fewer sacrifices, do you choose the former or the latter?"

"Hey!" Ding Kui sighed again, "It's hard to be the master!"

"There is another way for my subordinates, I don't know if it's feasible?"

"Tell me about it. Ding Kui immediately came to his senses.

"You can invite Uncle Ding Yu to Zhong Wei to sit in the army, and I think there is nothing that Uncle Ding Yu can't deal with in Shibu County. ”
