Chapter 51: Old Ou and Pu Yuan from Yunling
"Lord, Lord Yang invites you to the recruitment hall!"
"Is there any talent?"
When Wu Shun heard the personal soldiers' reports, he asked casually.
"I don't know, it's said that there was an old and a young man causing trouble at the recruitment hall. He was a person from Yunling Town." said the personal soldier.
"Oh, Yunling Town? I haven't been back for a long time to check it out! Let's go and have a look." Wu Shun greeted and took his personal soldiers to the recruitment hall.
At this time, in the recruitment hall, Yang Youcai explained something to an old man with a depressed look on his face.
"Old sir, how high a sword casting master can be, the prefect has the final say, so don't make things difficult for me."
"Hmph, are you the head of the Zhaoxian Pavilion?" asked as he looked at him.
"Yes, I will take the prefect to take care of it for the time being."
Yang Youcai replied. The old man was really surprised that he wanted to ask for an official position for his fifteen-year-old disciple, but he could not be too young, saying that his disciple could cast a knife.
"Since you are the person in charge, why can't you answer? Could it be that the recruitment order issued by Wuling County is fake?" The old man was a little angry. Why did the head of the recruitment hall ask questions and keep ruling?
"The recruitment order for my Wuling County is absolutely true. I wonder what contribution this can contribute to my father-in-law for my Wuling County?"
As soon as Wu Shun entered the hall, he heard someone saying that the order to recruit talents was fake, and he was immediately dissatisfied. An old man had a too big temper, but he was not very good. As a person with thoughts, status and status, Wu Shun would not get angry so easily. If someone had real skills, he would make a profit.
"Old I took the people in Yunling Town to pay homage to Lord Wu!"
The old man saluted respectfully to Wu Shun. When Wu Shun was in Yunling Town, he was still a bandit leader, but he really cared for the people of Yunling from the bottom of his heart. Now, Wu Shun went to Chenyang to be the county magistrate and then became the prefect of Linyuan. The people of Yunling Town were full of joy. They had already planned to send representatives to visit Wu Shun. This time Wuling County issued a recruitment order, so the old man brought his apprentice.
"It doesn't matter if we don't have to be too polite. Speaking of which, we are still fellow villagers in Yunling, so we don't have to worry about these common etiquettes!"
Wu Shun politely helped the old man up and asked his personal soldiers to bring a chair and asked the old man to sit.
"It's better to call you the leader of the village, so it feels kind." The old man said.
"It's okay to call it anyway. Speaking of it, it was a disaster for the village, Shun was really sorry. How is Yunling Town now? Is it still the same?"
The old man wanted to call him the village leader, but he was obviously anxious to treat the people in Yunling Town. Wu Shunqiu's name was very casual, and Xiaobai also called the village leader. Some soldiers called generals, some called adults, and of course most of them called lords!
"Yunling is still the same, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The General Wang Bing you left behind has always protected us. The people in Yunling are thinking about your good deeds from the village leader, and they all hope that one day you can go back and see... Everyone hasn't seen you for a long time."
The old man sighed that when Wu Shun was a bandit, he only robbed local tyrants and evil gentry, and did not harm the people. He heard that Wu Shun participated in the attack on Dong Zhuo and became the prefect, and everyone in Yunling was happy.
"Thank you, the villagers, still remember me, as a bandit! Who is this?" Wu Shun asked, pointing to a young man behind the old man.
"Oh, I'm so confused that I forgot to introduce it. This is my disciple, named Pu Yuan, and the sword casting technique is quite good. This time I brought him here to contribute to the village leader!" The old man pulled his proud disciple and said. Pu Yuan followed him to learn sword casting with him, and he had already become more popular. The rest was depended on Pu Yuan himself. The old man felt that there was nothing to hand over to his disciple.
"Oh, but Pu Yuan from Yizhou?" Wu Shun said in surprise.
"Master Prefect knows me?"
Pu Yuan was surprised. He had been learning skills with his master since he was a child, and no one should know him, why did the prefect know that he was from Yizhou.
"You just have to say yes or not!"
Wu Shun stared at Pu Yuan straight, making the young man who had just come out of the mountain feel pressure. It seemed that the air around him was squeezing him, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Sir, Pu Yuan is a native of Yizhou." After saying that, Pu Yuan felt much more relaxed, and the air did not squeeze him.
"Okay, from now on, you will be dedicated to forging weapons for my Wuling Army. By the way, forge a big knife first. My second brother doesn't have a handy knife yet. He is the number one general in our army. After the knife is forged, I will remember your great achievements!"
Wu Shun confirmed that Pu Yuan was Pu Yuan who forged a battle knife for Zhuge Liang in his previous life, and he said in his heart that he had picked up a treasure. Pu Yuan casting a knife first-class, and the forged knife can cut iron like mud.
"Pu Yuan will definitely live up to the high expectations of the emperor!"
After all, he is still young, and Pu Yuan is still full of joy in being able to make contributions. He threw what his usual master said was displeasing and was out of the sky.
"Will the village leader try this guy's weight?"
The old man found it incredible that Wu Shun gave him the heavy responsibilities directly. After all, Wu Shun didn't know what level Pu Yuan's technology reached, so he dared to let Pu Yuan cast a sword for the general! You must know that weapons are the life of a general. If the sword is cast too much, it may harm the general. But then again, the ability of disciples to be valued also shows that Wu Shun trusts him. This is still very useful to the old man.
"The weapon shop is set up today, and the father-in-law is invited to be the chief manager!"
After Wu Shun finished speaking, he bowed to the old man. Will it be simple to teach a disciple like Pu Yuan? Sure, no, then Wu Shun naturally won’t miss it. Let Pu Yuan be responsible for casting a knife, which is responsible for quality control. When you are free, it would be even better to teach a few disciples!
"I am old and I am afraid I can't serve the village leader!" the old man shuddered.
"The old man doesn't need to create it himself, just check the quality. Of course, if the old man is willing to teach a few more disciples, that would be great!" Wu Shun explained.
"Since that's the case, I'll try it. As long as I check the quality, it's not difficult." said the old man.
"Dare you ask the old man's name?"
"Old ancestor Ou Yezi, the village leader can just call Lao Ou."
"It turns out that he is a descendant of Master Ou Yezi, Shun is disrespectful. Then all this is decided, and the weapon yard will be handed over to Mr. Ou!" Wu Shun said excitedly. Today he really picked up the treasure. Not only did he come, but he also came a more powerful one. God treated me well, but Wu Shun shouted in his heart.
In this way, Wuling County had an additional weapon yard, which specifically provided weapons for the Wuling Army. Wu Shun ordered people to recruit a large number of blacksmiths to the weapon yard and obeyed the orders of Master Pu Yuan.
A few days later, Yang Youcai personally brought the two of them to the prefect's mansion to find Wu Shun. The person who could let Yang Youcai, the head of the man in charge, lead the way himself would not be an ordinary person. Yang Youcai was very excited. It seemed that the lord was really a great blessing in the world. It seemed that the Wuling army would be adding a general.
