Section 125: Craftsman Workshop

In one day, Chen Deng recruited more than a dozen blacksmiths. In this era, craftsmen had a very underground identity. The skills they mastered were called "strange tricks" by scholars, and were looked down upon by the mainstream of society.

However, Guan Yan, who came from later generations, did not have this idea. In later generations, a master was sought after by the whole world, so how could there be any discrimination?

Chen Deng vacated a room in the outer house in Guan Yan's mansion called "Craftshop". As the name suggests, this is where the craftsmen work.

Under Chen Deng's leadership, Guan Yan pushed the door and saw more than a dozen people sitting around the table chatting. These people looked and had different figures, but they all had one thing in common: they were particularly black!

Because of the ironwork that has been shattered all year round, these people's skin is dark bronze, with a layer of light on it. In modern terms, they look very healthy.

Guan Yan suddenly entered, the people were stunned for a moment, quickly stood up, and stood aside in panic.

Chen Deng stepped forward and said, "This is Dongxiang Hou, General Hu Ben Zhonglang Guan!"

For these people, the most common officials they can see are the village chiefs and pavilions. In their eyes, the county magistrate of a county is already a big factor.

When I heard Guan Yan’s title, such as Marquis and General, he must be a high-ranking official in the court! Some people were thinking in their hearts: This is probably the same as the county magistrate of our county!

As soon as Chen Deng finished speaking, everyone knelt down one after another, shouting in all kinds of ways. Some people shouted: Meet the master! Some people shouted: Meet the general! Some people shouted: Meet the master!

Although the shouts were uneven, Guan Yan didn't care at all, but said with a smile: "Get up!"

"Master Xie, Lord Xie..." The blacksmiths shouted again, stood up, and turned their eyes to Guan Yan.

Guan Yan cleared his throat and said, "When Lord Chen recruited you yesterday, did he tell you about the conditions?"

"I said it, I said it."

Guan Yan nodded, raised three fingers and said, "Today, I will only say three points, I'll listen to it:

First.

I will pay you three times the market price for you, but you only need to be safe to forge it.

second.

From then on, you can call me "Master" and I will never treat you badly.

third.

This marquis repeats again: The things you created this time are secret objects of this marquis. If you choose to join, you cannot withdraw at will."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin blacksmith spoke carefully: "Mr. Marquis, wouldn't that say that I'm waiting for you?

Is it right?"

Guan Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at the blacksmith coldly: "It can be said that if you don't want to, you can leave now. I think it's very easy to recruit people with three times the salary. But if you agree, if you have any bad behavior in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Guan Yan has experienced several major battles, and a sense of hostility has been tempered by the battlefield. These blacksmiths who have never seen the world can withstand this aura. After thinking in their minds, they hurriedly knelt down and said, "I'm willing!"

Guan Yan's face instantly turned cloudy and sunny: "You don't have to be too polite, get up!" Guan Yan took out the "stirrers" picture drawn carefully two days ago from his arms, spread it to the table and said, "This is the object that I need to create. Please come and take a look."

Everyone hurriedly surrounded the table and looked at the picture carefully. At this time, the blacksmiths were working in our business and immediately communicated with interest, forgetting the panic he had just passed.

Guan Yan listened attentively to their discussions, but did not interrupt. He just listened to the blacksmiths discussing how to use this thing to punch, how much forging the thing to achieve strength, where to start punching the thing, etc.

Guan Yan listened for a while and waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please stop. I have just heard you discuss it. It's not difficult to make this thing, right?"

An older blacksmith clasped his fists at Guan Yan: "Marty, oh no, lord, this small object is not difficult to fight, it depends on what lord wants!"

"Requirements?" Guan Yan pointed to the two half rings on the picture and said, "The requirements are very simple: these two rings can allow both feet to step in, and they must support a weight of 200 kilograms and bump on the horse's back!"

As soon as Guan Yan said this request, the blacksmiths discussed with each other. But not long after, the older blacksmith replied: "The lord's request can be fully met!"

"That's good, that's good!" Guan Yan smiled and said, "I will send someone to buy some utensils tomorrow. Just say whatever you need! I will just make this object for me as fast as possible!"

"Here!" The blacksmiths clasped their fists.

"Okay, you can rest first. If you have any trouble, please contact Mr. Liu or General Zhou." As he said that, Guan Yan turned around and left the Jiangzaofang.
