Chapter 123: Follow the Marquis and you will have enough food to eat

"Who is Er Gouzi?"

Liu Xuan heard the voice that just broke out in the crowd.

Liu Xuan remembered the name Er Gouzi very clearly.

This name is very special, and it is a good memory for Liu Xuan.

Before graduation, Liu Xuan had a girlfriend, and the girl's nickname was Er Gouzi.

Children in rural areas all have their own nicknames, and the older generation believes that the meaner the name, the better the fate.

The girl who studied chemistry was very ambitious and dreamed of becoming a star in the chemical world, shining brightly.

However, when graduation is approaching, she will face the competition of society. Who can guarantee that he will definitely be the pride of heaven?

The girl taught Liu Xuan the ancient method of making glass, and even improved it.

It's a pity that the biochemical environmental materials, the grave of graduates, led to the two of them parting ways.

At this time, I saw the glass made by the ancient method again. No, in ancient times, it was called glass.

Liu Xuan felt a sense of relief inexplicably, but looking at the dark and thin young man in front of him, Liu Xuan felt that the name Er Gouzi suddenly changed.

"Your name is Er Gouzi?"

The young man's face was stiff, standing in front of Liu Xuan, not daring to breathe, his legs and feet trembling constantly.

"The Marquis is asking you a question, why are you shaking?"

Liu Renyuan laughed and said, "Relax, the Marquis is not a big bad wolf, and he doesn't eat people."

The young man named Er Gouzi was about 17 or 18 years old, and wiped the sweat and black marks on his face.

"I, I'm not good, the Marquis's method is good..."

The old man on the side looked at Er Gouzi who couldn't control his speech and sighed: "Marquis, I am Er Gouzi's father, a blacksmith."

"This child has never liked to talk since he was a child. The Marquis is of noble status, and he stutters even more when he sees you... I am of low status..."

Liu Xuan interrupted the old man: "Change his name."

"Also, who said you are of low status?"

Liu Xuan looked at the craftsmen with a serious expression: "The world is peaceful, the war has ended, it is a good time to recuperate, make more money, and develop your career."

"No matter what your status is, we are all Tang people. What is noble and low status? It's nothing more than a different position!"

"Who said that blacksmiths have no future? Look, Er Gouzi has made a good thing!"

Liu Xuan nodded to Xue Rengui, and Xue Rengui trotted all the way to the carriage, poked his head out, took out a cloth bag from it, and then stuffed it directly into Er Gouzi's hand.

The craftsmen who responded to the recruitment this time were all poor people in the counties around Chang'an City. Under normal circumstances, although the status of craftsmen was lower, they had enough food and drink all year round. After all, who didn't need to make something?

But they were different. They were looked down upon and had no food to eat.

When the notice of Lantian Hou recruiting craftsmen appeared, it was empty and nothing was mentioned. At that moment, they were desperate and ragged. Even the beggars on the roadside looked down on them.

After all, what was the difference between them and beggars?

A group of craftsmen, hungry, came to Lantian County after walking more than ten miles, or even dozens of miles, and then they were surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers. At that moment, they were desperate.

These dog officials are cheating! They are going to use them as heads! The war was only a dozen years away from now, and killing innocent people for merit is still vivid in their minds.

Then, they found that those fierce officers and soldiers did not seem to embarrass them, but just didn't let them leave this place.

The key is, free meals...

Now, the enthusiasm in everyone's eyes seems to have reached its peak. They saw with their own eyes that ten strings of coins were placed in Er Gouzi's hand. Those copper coins were heavy, and Er Gouzi was trembling all over.

Liu Xuan looked at them standing in place one by one, with a faint green light in his eyes, and then smiled calmly: "Money is nothing, as long as the things you make are good enough, money is not a problem!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Renyuan and Xue Rengui looked at each other. After all, he is a marquis, and he spends money like water.

But, do these craftsmen have to be supported?

Liu Xuan looked at everyone: "Come on, tell me what you did before."

"Marquis, I can do it too! I'm a carpenter, I can do anything!"

Other craftsmen on the side couldn't help it. Craftsmen who have reached their level would not be ashamed to see Lu Ban even if they died.

"My Lord, I am a blacksmith. I can definitely make the best knife in the world, which is indestructible."

"My Lord, I make coffins, a craft passed down from my ancestors..."

"My Lord, I can carve tombstones..."

...

For a while, in the chaotic scene, everyone laughed continuously.

The atmosphere became relaxed.

Liu Xuan knew that it was almost time. When the atmosphere reached this point, it was time to win over the people.

The land was divided into north and south, and the factions became one.

In that mysterious organization back then, Liu Xuan still learned a little bit. He struck while the iron was hot, and attacked the desire points in human nature.

"I can see that you all have special skills!"

"I am in charge of the Lantian fiefdom in the Marquis' Mansion, and I worry about what everyone does, how to do it, and how much they earn."

"You." Liu Xuan pointed at the guy who said he could make iron and said, "You make iron in the village, make farm tools for farmers to cultivate the land, and support your family."

"You." Liu Xuan looked at another person again, "You do carpentry for everyone, the stools you make are stable, the tables are sturdy, although your teeth leak, but the windows you make never leak."

Everyone laughed again.

To get closer, you must first stand together.

"Look at him, his name is Liu Renyuan, he is my guard, the general manager of the Marquis's mansion, you can understand him as the gatekeeper."

"We do different things, but each of us has something to do, this is the Tang Dynasty, we all have a bright future!"

Xue Rengui stood aside, and was a little curious. After all, Lantian Hou was not only strong, cooked delicious food, handsome, had many friends, had more women around him, and made more money... it didn't seem that great!

But the body doesn't lie.

Xue Rengui felt that he was also getting restless, and these words sounded full of fighting spirit.

He silently remembered in his heart that if he had the opportunity to realize his ambitions one day, he could use this passage to train soldiers and live up to his good martial arts.

False worship is still quietly calculating, but real worship has already begun to take action.

Liu Renyuan's blood is boiling: "My Lord, I feel like I'm going to explode..."

Liu Xuan smiled and looked at those sincere and fiery eyes: "From today on, anyone who abides by the rules and makes new things will be rewarded with ten strings of money."

"This place will become your place to work from today, let's call it Datang Lantian Workshop!"

"I hope you can use all your skills and make really good things!"

A group of craftsmen who couldn't survive saw hope, just like a dying camel grabbing the last straw to save their lives.

This straw not only failed to crush them, but made them firmly believe that if they followed the Lord, they would have enough to eat!
