Chapter 73 Hale Rockets

Another woman took her three children and rushed towards the ancestral hall, saying, "Master Qianhu likes children, I will take my children to cry!"

Everyone was making a noise, but they saw Qin Zhao walking over with a black hat and a big red official robe on his head.

These villagers were noisy in the crowd with Qin Zhao on their backs and were full of energy, but when they saw Qin Zhao's official robe, they all became weak. All the thoughts of trying to get close to Qin Zhao, or relying on their previous human feelings, were like they were splashed by cold water, and they all disappeared.

The authority of the imperial court's official orders is really scary.

Not a clerk who lives with the official in the yamen every day, who dares to get close to the official? He is so stingy?

In the end, the villagers stood back to the team of meat-sharing, and shared the meat obediently.

Qin Zhao didn't notice that anyone had just thought of crying in front of him.

...

One night, the villagers of Qinjia Village ate meat and drank wine in big bowls.

Qin Zhao did not stop at the place where the meat was divided in the grain field. He sat in the ancestral hall to think about his future plans. Now that he has an official position, his social status is very different. Qin Zhao will recruit soldiers and invent various new weapons next, which has a priority. He also has to consider the difficulty of implementing his inventions. If it is an invention that is difficult to implement and special craftsmen are needed, it is risky. The development of his own power and various inventions need to be matched to make it smooth sailing.

However, the villagers who had eaten the meat all brought their families to the ancestral hall to kowtow to Qin Zhao. Qin Zhao would be interrupted after a while.

The villagers of Qinjia Village are really grateful to Qin Zhao. This is the 17th century, and eating meat is too difficult. Unlike cattle and horses, humans need some meat to ensure the healthy operation of their bodies. The people in Qinjia Village have been blackmailed by a tiger in the past two years and are unable to make ends meet. Many families have not bought meat for two years. The only meat they ate in the past two years was that Qin Zhao killed a tiger last time.

Now Qin Zhao spent another hundred taels of silver to buy meat at this wedding banquet, allowing the villagers to obtain the precious meat protein they need to maintain their lives.

Qin Zhao knew that he was a fifth-rank official now, and the villagers were afraid of him, so he paid attention to his words. Qin Zhao deliberately avoided some jokes and easily imagined words, only picked up some unambiguous comfort words, and replied to the villagers who came in and kowtowed in a kind voice.

Tell them that the future is beautiful and you must have confidence in the future of Qinjia Village.

The villagers lined up in the ancestral hall to kowtow to Qin Zhao, and more than an hour passed in a flash. Qin Zhao, who was still a young man, was already an unfathomable figure in the eyes of the villagers.

...

The next day, Qin Zhao took his servants to Caiyun Peak. In a new house above Caiyun Peak, Qin Zhao saw three fireworks craftsmen and three blacksmiths that Qin Ning found.

When six craftsmen saw Qin Zhao, they came up to kowtow.

"No gift!"

Qin Zhao asked everyone to sit down and talk.

Under the pressure of Qin Zhao's official robe, the six craftsmen sat on the chair and didn't dare to sit on the whole butt. They only put half of their butt on the chair and put on a respectful look.

After all, this is the imperial court official wearing a big red official robe. This is the first time that six craftsmen have spoken to the imperial court official in their lives, let alone wearing a big red official robe.

The magistrate wears green official robes! How could he be as majestic as Master Qianhu?

Moreover, Qin Ning, who was tall and strong next to him, stood there like a javelin, giving people a sense of oppression.

Qin Ning has been practicing with his servants for several months. How strong is he now? No ordinary men can beat him.

Qin Zhao shouted to the fireworks craftsman: "You three! You are the best-skilled fireworks craftsmen in Xiangshan County. I went out to inquire. There is no better craftsmanship in Xiangshan County than you."

The three fireworks craftsmen quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Mr. Qianhu has been awarded! How can some small tricks be worth mentioning?"

"What's the point of mentioning the thousand-household master?"

"You three are also blacksmiths with extraordinary skills. I have all known each other."

The three blacksmiths quickly stood up and said, "Master Qianhu has ruined us!"

Qin Zhao waved his hand and asked the six craftsmen to sit down, saying, "I am willing to hire you and others to produce a new type of weapon. This weapon is very sharp and is not comparable to other soldiers now. However, the weapon I produce needs to be kept confidential and cannot be secretly learned by someone and leaked at will."

Qin Zhao swayed the front of his official robe, sat in the main seat, and said slowly: "So I want to hire you six of you to close the production of the weapons I need on this Chiyun Peak. After you were hired by me, you will be paid three taels of silver a month and two taels of meat and meat for each meal."

Hearing this, three blacksmiths were like falling from clouds and three fireworks craftsmen showed extremely surprised expressions.

Six craftsmen were found by Qin Ning today and felt unlucky. It was definitely thankless to do things with the official family. Qin Zhao, the master of Qianhou, even the fireworksman, had to be recruited, so how could he be so stingy?

Unexpectedly, when Qin Zhao arrived here, he actually said he would give them three taels of silver a month.

Three taels of silver a month are really a good thing that can’t be found even with lanterns? They usually make fireworks in their own fireworks shops, and it’s thankful that they can earn two taels of silver a month.

Is it also responsible for food and accommodation? Is there any meat and meat to eat for every meal?

Is this true?

Are you lying to the big talk?

The six fireworks craftsmen looked at each other, but they were a little disbelief.

Qin Ning stood aside and cursed, "The thief was imprisoned! You don't believe what Mr. Qianhu said? Who is Mr. Qianhu? Then every word is like a flagpole, and you can see a shadow standing on the school ground! Mr. Qianhu said that giving me a monthly salary of meat is a foregone conclusion? Will Rongdeer wait for me to believe it?"

The six craftsmen were scolded by Qin Ning, and shrank their heads and did not dare to speak.

Qin Zhao waved his hand.

The servant behind him took out six pieces of silver, each of which was six taels, and placed it in front of the six craftsmen.

"If you agree, you will pay you six taels of silver in advance, so that you can go home and handle the family affairs first if you have money."

The six craftsmen looked at Bai Yinzi in front of them, opened their eyes wide and put on an extremely surprised expression.

A bold craftsman bowed carefully and said, "What do you want to do when Mr. Qianhu hired us?"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "I'll find you to be your best thing, Rockets."

"Rocket?"

The three fireworks looked at each other in surprise for a while and said, "Master Qianhu, if we were to make rockets, we would do it."

"We need to improve your usual practices and make them weapons." Qin Zhao smiled and said, "You will first say, will you join me and become my craftsman who has closed homework on the Chiyun Peak? Of course, each of you is divided into three houses on the Chiyun Peak, and your wife and children can bring you."

After hearing Qin Zhao's explanation, the craftsmen felt that the reward and treatment were almost certain. They looked at each other, and finally nodded and said, "I did what Master Qianhu said!"

“I do it!”

"I'll do it too! Mr. Qianhu."

Qin Zhao nodded and said, "You promised it. Everything you learned from me in the future will be kept secret! Anyone who leaks a trace of secrets outside is to deal with military law, and bone breaks are light."

The six craftsmen were frightened when they heard this. But when they thought of the generous reward, they took it for granted.

"The new rocket we made is not fireworks, but weapons. Let's call him Hale rockets first. He looks very similar to ordinary fireworks, just bigger. When doing it, you need to make it with iron shells to give him the ability to break armor and penetrate walls."
