Chapter 27 You come and I go (very important to follow up on Tuesday)
The royal palace of the Daqian Dynasty was far from magnificent.
It is said that Taizu was a man from the mountains and he liked pure wood tones. Most of the buildings were made of logs with a little bricks and stones, and rarely used a lot of paint.
There are many kinds of flowers, plants and trees planted here.
Linyuan Si is responsible for all the buildings, layout, and flower decorations of the palace, with a total of more than 1,500 people.
Dong Songchang was an acquaintance who often came here, so he handed the guard at the door two taels of silver and entered easily.
His brother-in-law is a middle-aged man with a moustache, dressed in commoners, and looks unremarkable.
The mud and leaves on the clothes will not fall off no matter how you move around, just like they are stuck to them.
Seeing his brother-in-law coming, the deputy craftsman of Linyuan Division named Shen Zhiwen frowned.
"Brother-in-law." Dong Songchang came over with a smile and said hello.
"If you don't work hard in the blacksmith camp, what are you doing here?"
Dong Songchang immediately made an aggrieved look and said: "I want to do a good job, and I have always followed my brother-in-law's advice to study more and talk less. But Zhao Yankui is such a bully. He bullied me in every possible way just because of Master Craftsman's love and protection. . Even his apprentice dared to speak rudely to me. I’m sorry!”
"If I want to punish the apprentice, Zhao Yankui will beat him. There are really no rules in this blacksmith camp, and I can't find anyone to complain to..."
Shen Zhiwen raised his eyebrows: "How dare an apprentice do the following to you?"
"That's right! Many blacksmiths have seen it. I didn't lie. If my brother-in-law doesn't believe it, he can send someone to ask." Dong Songchang said.
"Okay, I'm just an apprentice. What's there to ask?" Shen Zhiwen was a little impatient and said, "I know what you mean. Go back. I'm busy."
"Okay, okay." Dong Songchang nodded and said a few more good words before leaving.
A gardener from Linyuansi came over and said, "Sir Mr. Shen, your brother-in-law has come to complain again?"
"He's so miserable. He idles around all day and doesn't do anything serious." Shen Zhiwen said.
"I heard that Zhao Yankui from the blacksmith camp may be promoted to deputy craftsman this year. I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good idea to offend him at this time, right?"
"This year's regular test of the blacksmith camp has not yet come, so Zhao Yankui may not be promoted to deputy craftsman. Even if he is promoted, so what, he is just a reckless blacksmith."
Shen Zhiwen's tone is somewhat similar to Dong Songchang's, or in other words, Dong Songchang learned it from him.
After thinking for a while, Shen Zhiwen said: "Go to the blacksmith camp and ask the boy named Jiang Lin to make a hoe and bring it back."
"Just a hoe?" The gardener was a little confused. How could he treat someone like this?
"Go if you are told, there is so much nonsense!" Shen Zhiwen scolded.
The gardener didn't dare to say anything and left quickly.
Shen Zhiwen picked up the scissors again and glanced at several graceful figures looming in the garden. Someone in the distance called her empress.
An imperceptible smile appeared on his face, and he worked harder.
After the gardener came to the South Blacksmith Camp, he approached Jiang Lin without hesitation and asked him to build a hoe.
Zhao Yankui came over and knew that he was from Linyuansi, so he knew that Dong Songchang must be looking for someone.
"He is an apprentice and may not be good at fighting. It's better for me to do it." Zhao Yankui said cautiously.
Although he is not afraid of Lin Yuansi, who knows what troubles those people who have been hanging around in the palace will do. Zhao Yankui has experienced the shrewdness and insidiousness of such people many times.
The gardener glanced at Zhao Yankui and said, "Sir Jiang Lin said it must be made by Jiang Lin. I also heard that Jiang Lin's forging skills are very good. He was praised by the master of the foundry department and he just passed the apprenticeship test. Could it be that Jiang Lin's forging skills are very good. , is this all a lie? ”
Zhao Yankui was shocked when he heard this. He took the apprentice test as an excuse. If he didn't let Jiang Lin take action, it would be tantamount to admitting to fraud. Lin Yuansi was afraid that he would use this matter to make a fuss. Jiang Lin smiled slightly and said: "Master, let me do it. I can't do anything with a hoe."
Zhao Yankui hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Then you fight, remember not to cut corners!"
How could Jiang Lin cut corners? There was absolutely no need for it.
I took a piece of pig iron and heated it red, then came back and started shaping it with a sledgehammer and leveling it with a small hammer.
Tools like hoes are still very simple and do not have high quality requirements like weapons.
Zhao Yankui watched from the side and felt relieved when he saw that Jiang Lin's forging skills were becoming more and more sophisticated and were no different from ordinary blacksmiths.
Even if Lin Yuansi took a hoe like this, he wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with it.
Soon after, the gardener went back with the hoe made by Jiang Lin. Zhao Yankui stared at the man's back again and again, and muttered: "I don't know what kind of trouble that Mr. Shen will cause. Jiang Lin, you have to be careful these days." Some.”
"If we do our own thing well, we won't be afraid of them finding trouble," Jiang Lin said.
"I hope so." Zhao Yankui shook his head, thinking that this boy was still too naive and didn't know that people's hearts are sinister.

Lin Yuansi would never just use a hoe to do something for no reason, but he couldn't guess what the other party was going to do, so he was quite helpless.
……
At Nanling Camp, the lame old man Wei walked slowly and took a long time to get here.
The soldier at the door saw him and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but he was surprised and said: "Master Wei, why are you so wet and smell of food?"
Old Man Wei waved his hand, indicating that no support was needed. He sat on the ground and slowly calmed his breathing, and said, "Is General Liao in the camp?"
"Yes."
"Brother, could you please pass the message on for me?" Old Man Wei cupped his hands and said.
"Master Wei, why should you be so polite? Why don't you just go into the camp and wait."
Old Man Wei shook his head and said: "I am no longer in the military, but I am just a dying old man. I'd better wait outside the camp."
Xiaobing knew his temper, so he didn't say much and ran back to report.
Not long after, several people ran out of the camp, all wearing battle armor and looking majestic.
"Master Wei! Why are you sitting here? Didn't you tell me that if you come, you can come in directly?" A man quickly stepped forward to help old man Wei up, and at the same time scolded the soldiers at the door: "Are you blind? You let Master Wei Sit on the ground!”
Xiao Bing's face was filled with grievances. He wanted to invite Old Man Wei in, but the old man didn't want to go in.
"Don't be surprised, General. I am an old man and I am of low status and cannot enter this camp." Old Man Wei said.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Wei!" Liao Mingxu, the general of the Nanling Camp, said seriously: "When I joined the army in the border army and was attacked by the enemy, if you, a member of a hundred households, had not led your brothers to come to my rescue, you would have fought with all your might. Enemy, my life has been sealed a long time ago. This leg was only injured that year. Otherwise, with Master Wei’s ability, he would be an admiral now.”
"Yes, Master Wei's style is unparalleled, and his life-saving grace is unforgettable. Our Nanling camp was originally reorganized by the old people who retired from the border army. It can also be regarded as Master Wei's home. Why should we be so arrogant?"
Others agreed, they were all guerrillas from the Nanling camp, Dusi, and held real power in their hands.
At this time, Liao Mingxu also smelled the strange smell on Old Man Wei's body. When he looked carefully, he saw a patch of fine blisters on Old Man Wei's face and a bruise from the smashed rice bowl between his eyebrows. He couldn't help but feel frightened and angry: "Master Wei What’s wrong with this face?”
