Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Tang Long, the leopard, spoke the words "Shouzixuan" very slowly, and with his accent, anyone could tell that it was definitely not the word "Shuaizixuan". Some people in the blacksmith group couldn't help laughing out loud.

They were with Shuai Zixuan every day, why didn't they come up with this nickname?As soon as Tang Long said it, almost everyone immediately thought that this nickname was much better than "Handsome".

The blacksmiths don't know whether he has ringworm on his body, but although Shuai Zixuan's surname is Shuai, his appearance has nothing to do with being handsome.

Five big and three thick, with hanging eyebrows and triangular eyes, it really looks like a decrepit person.

"What are you laughing at?" Shuai Zixuan didn't mention how angry he was, his voice suddenly rose an octave, and he said through gritted teeth, "That's right! Who are you bird man? Dare to ask the master!"

"You, a little blacksmith, dare to call yourself the master?" Tang Long, the leopard, sneered, "Tang was hired by your boss, and he dare not call himself the master."

When the blacksmiths heard Tang Long say that Chao Gai had sent them, they immediately whispered to each other and looked at Tang Long differently.

That Shuai Zixuan lost his arrogance when he heard this, but he still bite the bullet and said: "What is that! I and Chao Tianwang are from the same village, do you understand that we are from the same village? Dongxi Village!"

"Oh? Are you a blacksmith from Dongxi Village?" Tang Long looked this handsome Zixuan up and down: "It's no wonder you can be the head blacksmith."

Shuai Zixuan suddenly pushed away the middle-aged woman beside him, patted his chest and said, "I'm really talented. I was the one who hit the big sword of the Heavenly King! That's why the Heavenly King trusted me, and that's why I became the leader of the blacksmith."

The middle-aged woman was pushed by Shuai Zixuan and almost fell, she frowned in a coquettish manner and complained in a low voice, the coquettish voice that was squeezed deliberately made the hair of the blacksmith beside her stand on end.

"Why are you like this, you turned your face and denied you before you paid the overnight money?"

Even Shuai Zixuan blushed and replied in a low voice: "Didn't the stinky bitch give you two pens at the beginning of the month, go back to the room and wait!"

The village jerk cast a sideways glance, then walked away timidly, leaving behind only a cheap scent.

Tang Long laughed inwardly, and said with a stern face: "Since the king of heaven trusts you, let me ask you, why haven't you got up yet, the stove is cold and no one is working, do you still look like blacksmiths?"

After hearing this, those blacksmiths looked at you, and I looked at me. A few timid ones were already ready to light the stove.

But Shuai Zixuan stopped those timid blacksmiths with a shout.

"What's the difference between doing it and not doing it?" Shuai Zixuan turned around and replied coldly: "There is only two bills of money every month, and there is a lot of work under pressure, and there is no way to finish it."

"Bring the brochure!" Tang Long ordered his soldiers to find the brochure, flipped through it twice in the rising sunlight, and estimated the workload. Sure enough, with these twenty or thirty blacksmiths, it would take a year to keep up. just work.

It's no wonder that there are less than [-] soldiers on the mountain, and there are really not enough blacksmiths.

"Why don't you apply to join?" Tang Long frowned. He thought that the blacksmiths headed by Shuai Zixuan were lazy, but he didn't expect to have some secrets: "There are so many people on the mountain, you bring out a group of apprentices while you work, don't Can it be solved?"

"How can it be so simple?" Shuai Zixuan shook his head and shouted, "Come and tell the new head, why not?"

An older blacksmith took a step forward, bowed his body and said: "Who will make a blacksmith's hard and tiring lighter if there is food to eat? It is roasted in front of the stove every day, smoky, time After a long time, I still cough..."

After the words were average, the blacksmith kept coughing, and someone next to him tapped his back, and continued: "Soldiers say that training is hard, how can it compare with our hard work? We get more here. Two bills per month, which is very small, although it is said that board and lodging are provided on the mountain, but except for us who are blacksmiths, who is willing to suffer this hardship? Soldiers are only paid [-] yuan a month, but they are happy. easy."

Tang Long, the leopard, nodded secretly. Several generations of his ancestors had been in the army forging weapons, so he naturally knew the pain inside.

"I know all of this, but you are completely lazy to herd the sheep." Tang Long said sharply: "The work can't be finished, at least you can do it slowly. The stove like yours doesn't even light, when can you finish it?"

Shuai Zixuan sneered and said: "Tangtou, you are new here, so naturally you don't know the way inside. Let's use an analogy, if you make weapons as usual this month, you can make two hundred simple knives. But from the second month , the tasks assigned by the superiors will become three hundred, if it continues for a long time, how can we make it in time?"

"So my brothers and I have discussed that the fire will be on for two days and stop for one day." Shuai Zixuan went on to explain: "In this way, about [-] or [-] simple knives will be produced every month, even if there are tasks added to it or there are emergencies. Send missions, and we can handle them."

"Today happens to be ceasefire day, so we are all resting."

Shuai Zixuan spread his hands at the end, which means that the situation is like this, we can't blame us for being lazy.

Tang Long sneered and remained silent. As Ximen Qing told him, there were tasks and countermeasures.

Fortunately, when Ximen Qing arrived, he had already taught himself the opportunity.

Tang Long, the leopard, walked back and forth for two steps with his hands behind his back, his head lowered as if he was thinking about something.The blacksmiths headed by Shuai Zixuan moved their eyes following Tang Long, waiting for Tang Long to speak.

"Since Tang is here, there should be something new." Tang Long suddenly raised his head and said, "From today onwards, there will be no ceasefire."

"what?"

"No, no, no!"

"You want to exhaust us to death!"

Shuai Zixuan didn't make a sound, but looked at Tang Long while listening to the complaints of the blacksmiths behind him with a smile on his face.

Tang Long knew this was the result, stopped and coughed, "Please listen to what Tang said."

Shuai Zixuan pressed his arms down very cooperatively, and immediately those noisy voices disappeared without a trace.

"Starting today, cancel all routine money."

Even Shuai Zixuan couldn't suppress the grievances of the blacksmiths after Tang Long's words were thrown out.

"Is it okay if I quit? Even this small amount of money will be cancelled, what a fart!"

"Let you guys quarrel, it's good this time, I don't even have the money for the medicine!"

"Give it up, quit it, go down the mountain and go home to farm!"

"Want to go?" Tang Long smiled and waved: "Captain Wang, I'm sorry."

Wang Mazi nodded, and stretched out his hand to pull out the steel knife: "Everyone has... Surround these bird people, and don't let any of them go!"

Although the number of blacksmiths was several times larger than that of soldiers, the ones who were screaming the loudest shrank back into the crowd as they saw the shining steel knives dangling in front of their eyes.

Silent.

"You guys are too impatient. If you have this kind of mentality, then the quality of the weapons you build will not be very good." Tang Long, the leopard, swept his eyes and said loudly: "Only by calming your mind can you make good weapons. Understand."

"Tangtou, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it." Shuai Zixuan looked at Tang Long thoughtfully: "I can guarantee that everyone present is first-class masters, and they are absolutely unambiguous in making weapons. But Tangtou just said that the extra money will be cancelled." What’s going on, let’s explain it clearly.”

Tang Long, the leopard, did not answer the question directly, but instead asked, "How much is a simple knife?"

"About [-] to [-] Wen." Shuai Zixuan replied without hesitation.

"Very good." Tang Long nodded and said: "I just said that there will be no extra money from today onwards, but you can sell me the weapons you have made. Take simple knives as an example. If the quality is good, I will pay you [-]." Wen, the quality is average, [-] Wen. If the quality is not good, I’m sorry, then it will be re-melted, and there will be no penny.”

"Eight hundred wen?" Immediately there was a blacksmith at the bottom who began to calculate: "It takes two or three days to work on a simple knife, so it's not a problem to have more than ten hands and feet a month... Isn't that..."

"That's right, if you can produce fifteen good-quality plain knives a month, then it's twelve guan." Tang Long said loudly.

"Twelve rounds! My dear mother, the handsome man originally paid twice a month, twelve rounds!"

"Really, don't make us happy, when the time comes, turn your face and deny anyone!"

"Of course, not all of these twelve guans are given to you." Tang Long immediately continued: "The iron ore and coal you use are all bought with money from the cottage. Of course, they need to be deducted from these."

"The price is naturally reasonable. I guess what you get in the end is a little more than ten guan."

"What's the difference between that and before we went up the mountain?" A blacksmith boldly asked.

"Good question." Tang Long said with a smile: "Let me ask you, can you receive orders for fifteen simple knives every month before going up the mountain? Can you earn ten copper coins a month?"

"No." The blacksmith's voice suddenly dropped, replaced by eager eyes.

All the blacksmiths, including Shuai Zixuan, turned their heads involuntarily to look at the blacksmith shop next to them.

There are iron ore and coal, stoves and anvils there, just waiting for them to go there and use the sledgehammer and small hammer in their hands to forge weapons, no, it's like hitting copper coins one after another!

Tang Long took out a stack of Jiaozi that Ximen Qing gave him just now, and shook it lightly in front of everyone's eyes: "Here is the money, do you have anything to exchange?"

"Brothers!" Shuai Zixuan raised his arms: "What are you waiting for! Let's do it!"

Wang Mazi ordered the soldiers to get out of the way, and the blacksmiths ran towards the stove in a swarm, fearing that they would fall behind others, so they missed a simple knife.

"Shuai Zixuan, wait a minute." Tang Long grabbed Shuai Zixuan who was about to build weapons: "Is there a roster? I need to match the number of people."

Shuai Zixuan was stunned and said: "I don't know a single word, so where is the roster, I just keep everything in my heart."

Shuai Zixuan is confident that he can still remember the names of twenty or thirty people.

But Tang Long's next question made Shuai Zixuan feel strange.
