Crossing town house man and wife

How fast they escaped!

Seeing that Luo Daozi disappeared in a blink of an eye, Wu Ming couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

This hob-like guy is the most annoying.It always feels unnecessary to be ruthless directly; but if you ignore it, it will make people feel very unwilling.

Forget it, you can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever. If you are capable, you will never mess with me again!

Wu Ming pursed his lips, turned around, and was about to check whether there were any fingerprints on the stone trough and the sedimentation tank.

But as soon as he turned around, Wu Ming found that the five auxiliary soldiers ran out at some time, and they were all staring at him in awe.

Except for one.

The guy who spoke first and seemed to be very prestigious, now stood behind the crowd with a complicated expression.

What an obvious nail!

Wu Mingxin slandered.

Although it would be wise to leave this nail behind, to show the person who sent the nail that he was content and didn't want to do anything shameful, but he was unwilling to be so obedient.

Why?

oppressive rule?

You have made me unhappy, why should I make you feel better?

Wu Ming glanced at them, and said sneeringly: "I know it now, is it useful? If spies come to steal information, all of you will be beheaded!"

"But Daoist Luo is not a spy!" A quick-talking voice couldn't help but answer.

No wonder he can only be an auxiliary soldier, and he doesn't even know the unspoken rules that he can't talk back to his boss!

Wu Ming curled his lips and asked back: "How do you know he is not? Do you know which corner he came from, and what is the purpose of working with the sheriff? Even if he is not now, what about the future? How do you know?" I know that he will never betray the sheriff in the future? Maybe he will meet someone who will change his flag after being coerced and lured!"

The quick talker was known by Wu Ming in a row, whether his head was knocked out, his mouth was open, and he was speechless in a daze.

"Can't you answer?" Wu Ming rolled his eyes, "Looking at your character, I know why you guys were kicked over to work for me, and none of you even understood how to serve as soldiers. Expecting to get ahead in the barracks? Just dream!"

"Please enlighten me!" The auxiliary soldier who had been tagged with a nail by Wu Ming stood up.

"Give you a head!" Wu Mingcai would not follow his routine, "Have you paid the Shuxiu? Have you kowtowed to worship the teacher? I want someone to teach you in one sentence, why? With your thick skin?!"

The two auxiliary soldiers next to him burst out laughing, but the man who asked for advice was flushed with shame and anger.

"What are you laughing at? The crow landed on the pig. I only saw other people being black, but I didn't know that I was actually virtuous!" Wu Ming widened his eyes, "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. I'll give you a chance. Those who work for me here, go out directly! Don’t worry about being punished. You must have seen how the stinky Taoist priest walked away in despair just now——I have the ability, confidence, and backing. Whoever doesn’t use you because of me I will punish you, and I will pay him double for you! If you receive ten lashes, I will give that guy twenty lashes, the one who ordered it and the one who did it!"

Several auxiliary soldiers were stunned, you looked at me, I looked at you, but no one made a sound.Only one guy who had been hidden among the crowd like a background wall seemed to be a little moved, but the others didn't move, so he didn't think it was the early bird.

But Wu Ming said that these were not just temptations. Seeing that no one understood his "good intentions", he immediately smiled coldly, "Didn't leave by yourself? Okay, then I will kick it out with my hands, you, and you, get out immediately. "

Wu Ming pointed to the guy who had been tagged with a nail and the background wall.

The background wall just froze for a moment, then walked out of the crowd honestly, but the guy who was tagged with nails changed his expression drastically, and blurted out: "Why did you drive me away?!"

Wu Ming smiled contemptuously, "Does your superior need to tell you why when he dispatches orders to you?"

Nail was speechless for a moment, clenched his fists and looked resentful.

"Of course, I'm not your superior." Wu Ming changed his voice, "So I'll give you a reason. One, you don't need so many people here. Two, I don't like you two. I gave you the reason, do you accept it? It's up to you to accept it, what you have to do now is to disappear from my eyes as soon as possible, don't wait for me to kick you."

The background wall bowed to salute, and then swished out of the courtyard, the swiftness of the movement surprised Wu Ming even.

Nail only hesitated for a moment before choosing to leave.

Seeing their reactions, Wu Ming suddenly had a subtle feeling that he had solved the correct answer with a wrong equation.

"Hey, are you familiar with the two people who left just now?" Wu Ming turned around and asked.

"Liu Da is our corps leader." The auxiliary soldier who had talked back to Wu Ming before replied, "The other one was transferred to our corps yesterday. It seems to be... Li Si?"

"Don't dare to say clearly, which one is Liu Da and which one is Li Si?" Wu Ming asked with staring eyes.

"The one who... was taught by you is Liu Da, and the one who has never spoken is Li Si." The auxiliary soldier who talked back then added, "My name is Huangdou, and everyone calls me Douzi."

"What about you two, what's your name?" Wu Ming asked them to report their names.

"Jiang San."

"Liu Qi."

Not a proper name.

The corners of Wu Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he had a speculative understanding of their origins.

Although the name Huangdou is funny, at least it is a name, and having a name means having a family tree, which can be traced back to a certain clan with a large surname. If he is bullied by someone with a foreign surname, there is likely to be a group of clan members who will help him out.As for Jiang San and Liu Qi, they probably didn't have any basic background, and they probably came from outside households who migrated, or they were poor men among the poor.

But this has nothing to do with Wu Ming, he gossiped in his heart and said: "Then, Huang Dou, Jiang San, Liu Qi, let me put the ugly words first, since you stay, you have to work for me, like Don't think about such a beautiful thing that you can only sleep this morning, and don't count on being lazy."

"Can I ask why?" Seeing that he had interrupted several times without being scolded, Huangdou boldly asked again.

"Make things, new things, good things." Wu Ming said.

"That is to say, we are actually here to learn from you?" Huang Dou's eyes lit up, and the other two also showed anticipation.

Although in the Qin Dynasty there was no saying that "a good man should not be a soldier", and the status of a soldier was no lower than that of a craftsman, but only soldiers could make a living in the barracks. Auxiliary soldiers like Huang Dou and the others were purely hard workers, killing the enemy and making meritorious service There is almost no chance of killing the enemy—if they even have to fight the enemy, then they will not be left for long before the entire army is wiped out.

Therefore, as long as you don't have the idea of ​​getting ahead, it is better to become a craftsman than to become an auxiliary soldier. Even when you are old, you can live by leading apprentices, and it is easier to find a wife than an auxiliary soldier.

"Don't expect me to teach you personally." Wu Ming frowned.

This is the truth, although Wu Ming has no idea of ​​self-preservation, being a master is by no means his forte.Let him teach his disciples, not only did he not understand, but he also confused himself.

"You're willing to let us follow suit!" The three auxiliary soldiers didn't know the truth, they only thought that Wu Ming, like the craftsmen of this era, was unwilling to spread his skills to the outside world.

Wu Ming didn't explain, and waved his hands, asking them to find a few basins for laundry and bathtubs for bathing, and then go to collect straw and bark.

When he really started to prepare, Wu Ming realized that he had neglected the most important thing.

It only takes one day to make paper, but it takes dozens of days to prepare the raw materials for papermaking.

Wu Ming was suddenly depressed.

The last time he made paper was in the late Qing Dynasty.At that time, a guy with a good relationship with him wanted to imitate a batch of ancient paintings, and invited him to make the most original ancient rice paper, but after he went, he was responsible for the most critical step of paper extraction, the material Everything has been prepared for him, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

After that came the First Opium War.Wu Ming was not interested in the life and death of Man Qing, but was curious about the world beyond the sea, so he went to Europe to play around, and he never made money from papermaking after he came back, and the relevant details were only kept in the spell in the constructed memory.

But since we have already started doing it, we can only bite the bullet and continue doing it.

Anyway, few people knew what he was going to do, and none of them knew what he should do. At worst, they should find something else for the three auxiliary soldiers to save them from being idle in the process of preparing materials.

Wu Mingshang was thinking about what to do next, but the three auxiliary soldiers had already found all the things he wanted.

Although it is not the season for planting wheat at this moment, this year is more economical than later generations. The residues of harvested crops such as wheat stalks and sorghum stalks will be accumulated and used as fuel, so the three auxiliary soldiers quickly came from the kitchen. They dug up the straw, picked up the bark from the carpenter, and snatched the washtub and tub from the maid who did the laundry, and fled back to the small courtyard after being chased by several women.

Wu Ming really wanted to praise "well done", but unfortunately he forgot to bring gold and silver with him. After the praise, he couldn't reward it, and it didn't have any motivating effect, so he simply didn't say anything, and took the three auxiliary soldiers back. After picking and washing the materials, add lime and put them in the bucket to start cooking.

Water is readily available, and there is a well in the yard, so there is no need for three auxiliary soldiers to go out and toss. Wu Ming chose this yard because of this well.

After the cooking steps are completed, it is drying without much technical content.

The drying should be in a sunny place, but Wu Ming saw that the light in the yard was fine, so he asked Soybean and the others to get two bamboo mats, and dried the boiled bark and wheat straw directly in the yard.

The first time is definitely not trying to make good paper.

Wu Ming sighed, but he didn't intend to put in any more effort to keep improving.

However, in view of the fact that new paper will not be produced until a month at the earliest, Wu Ming finally gave up his decision to go on a diet.

In the evening, after returning to the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying, Wu Ming called Mrs. Zheng and asked her to slice the mutton and bring over an oven. He wanted to barbecue in the yard.

Mrs. Zheng readily agreed but did not leave right away, standing where she was and hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter?" Wu Ming took the initiative to ask.

Mrs. Zheng immediately said: "Mrs., there are too many things in the kitchen. If I can't finish them as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be broken tomorrow."

"Uh..." Wu Ming blinked, and found that Mrs. Zheng looked expectant.

Obviously, she wanted to hear answers like "no" and "here you are".

The county guard's mansion is indeed not short of such things, as long as Wu Ming asks, Yan Heng will definitely send people to bring things over every day, but Wu Ming is not willing to let this woman get her wish like this.

How can there be so many beautiful things in this world, the capitalists of later generations would rather pour milk into the river than give it to the poor for free!

Wu Ming wanted to dispel her dream, but when the words came to his mouth, he remembered that Mrs. Zheng helped him make clothes today, so he changed his words: "You can cut a few pieces of meat and take them home. I will figure out the rest."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Zheng's face, but he immediately adjusted his expression and bowed his thanks.

This incident reminded Wu Ming that although he didn't care about the loyalty of the people around him, it didn't mean they could treat him as a generous and easy-to-deceive fool.If you want to give rewards and remuneration to these people, there is no need to reward them directly. It is better to give them things first, so as not to raise their appetites at the beginning, and end up making a fussy joke.

At this time, Wu Ming no longer wanted to use the Zheng family, but he had to say hello to Yan Heng about this matter. It would be best if he could take all the power of selecting and employing people in his hands at once, once and for all.

Well, Yan Heng should come over tonight, right?

Thinking of the candies given out last night, Wu Ming felt that the possibility was very high.
