Chapter 170 The Spring of Wang Xiucai

"I have studied and also passed the scholar exam..." As soon as the Chief of Soldier finished speaking, Wang Xiucai, who was standing among the refugees, said with excitement on his face.

It is said that scholars are useless. As a scholar from a poor family, after listening to the words of the sergeant, Wang Xiucai felt for the first time that he had a place to use his skills and could do something to hundreds of refugees who had helped him.

So, under the eyes of Shu Bai, Wang Xiucai didn't care about the so-called identity as a scholar. In order to survive, he rushed directly to the sergeant, and volunteered to say...

After being asked by Master Wang, Wang Xiucai immediately revealed his identity. Then, he looked at Master Zhang in front of him with a look of hope, hoping that he could get reused by the other party.

He did not disappoint him. After listening to his introduction, Master Zhang's tired face showed a feeling of re-release. Then, he said to Wang Xiucai with satisfaction: "Wang Daoguang, you came too timely. There have been too many refugees in the past few days. I just happened to be missing a helper."

"I am the head of the eighth rank in our Tiger and Leopard Army. From now on, you will follow me to do things. After that, I will recommend you to our Xuanfu envoy, Lord Zhou. I promise that with Brother Wang, you will definitely get an official position with a rank similar to mine..."

"The eighth-rank official position of the imperial court, Lord Zhang, you mean, I can not only eat enough, but also become an official..." Wang Daoguang and Wang Xiucai asked with an incredible look on his face.

"Of course..." Zhang said with a look of affirmation.

"You may not know that our General Manager values ​​us scholars very much. Just a few months ago, I was also a refugee like you. However, since I followed General Manager, I not only did not have to go hungry anymore, but also received heavy use. After being promoted by General Manager, I became the head of the eighth rank."

"Do you know the Xuanfu envoy I just mentioned? He was also a scholar who did not pass the Jinshi. He became a refugee because of the war. However, after following the General, he not only became an official, but also became the Xuanfu envoy of the fourth rank of the imperial court. In terms of rank, he was already on par with the Datong Prefect..."

"The General also told us that as long as we do our best to do our jobs, everyone can be the county magistrate or even the prefect..."

Hearing this, the incredibleness on Wang Daoguang's face was covered with excitement and expectation. He shouted to Master Zhang: "Please rest assured Master Zhang, I will do my best..."

"I really didn't expect that I, Wang Daoguang, also have hope of becoming an official..."

When he said these words, Wang Daoguang said silently in his heart: "No matter what, he must seize this opportunity and let those who look down on him and humiliate him see. Even if he has no background, as a scholar, he can still stand out and become an official..."

Seeing Wang Daoguang in front of him, the first thing that Mr. Zhang thought of was the shocking expression he had in front of him when he heard the general announce that he was an official.

Therefore, Zhang Zhushi did not express any contempt for Wang Daoguang's ever-changing expression on his face.

However, when he saw hundreds of refugees staring at eating, he had to interrupt Wang Daoguang who was thinking about it and said calmly: "Wang Xiucai, the villagers are still waiting for us to issue wooden signs to eat..."

Wang Guangdao suddenly reacted and said with a look of embarrassment: "Yes, sir. Students will help sir distribute wooden signs..."

When more and more refugees gathered in Datong, Wei Zheng, led by Zhou Shuyuan, walked into another place in Datong City that he valued very much, the Datong garrison workshop...

Before he could actually enter the craftsman's workshop, the crisp sound of hammer hitting reached Wei Zheng's ears.

However, when Wei Zheng saw the two sentries with almost no vigilance at the entrance of the craft workshop, he stretched out his eyebrows and frowned subconsciously.

In Wei Zheng's eyes, an army must have combat effectiveness. People are one aspect, and the weapons used by soldiers are also an indispensable aspect.

Therefore, since the Tiger and Leopard Army established its own weapons workshop, Wei Zheng has paid great attention to confidentiality, fearing that the enemy will investigate the secrets of his superior weapons.

However, the craftsman's workshop in front of us not only did not have confidentiality measures, but even the minimum sentry was like this, which made Wei Zheng angry...

Zhou Shuyuan, who was standing behind the side, quickly stood up and explained: "General, when I saw the alertness of the Jiangzuo Camp just now, I was shocked. However, after going in and checking the specific situation and strength of the Jiangzuo Camp, I immediately understood why the defenders of Datong Prefecture did not pay attention to the confidentiality and alertness of the Jiangzuo Camp at all..."

Wei Zheng said thoughtfully: "Since that's the case, let's go in and take a look..."

After entering the craftsman camp, Wei Zheng's first feeling was that it was hot, very hot.

Looking around, dozens of iron stoves burning with raging charcoal fires were lined up very neatly in the craftsman's camp.

Hundreds of shirtless blacksmiths shouted trumpets while beating the iron blocks that were constantly burned red, or the big swords and spearheads that were about to be formed.

What disappointed Wei Zheng was that on dozens of iron furnaces, Wei Zheng didn't see anyone building a musket barrel.

At this moment, the general craftsmen of the craftsman in Jiangzuoying, who was completely different from the ordinary craftsmen in Jiangzuoying, welcomed him with a flattering smile on his face.

"Sir General, the last general is late to welcome him. Please forgive me..."

Wei Zheng nodded, signaled the other party to stand up, and asked bluntly: "This is the craftsman camp in our Datong Mansion... Why haven't I seen the stove for making muskets? Have our craftsman camp never made muskets?"

"This..." Facing Wei Zheng's sharp gaze towards him, Mr. Qian couldn't help feeling weak.

After a brief hesitation, he answered without confidence: "Sir General, it is not that our craftsman camp does not build muskets, but that the muskets created by our craftsman camp cannot be used... After a long time, we will no longer build muskets, but will specialize in cold weapons..."

"It cannot be used... that means the quality of the muskets you created is not up to standard... Tell me whether it is a problem with the craftsman or a problem with the materials..." Mr. Qian was not very good at the first impression in front of him, and Wei Zheng did not give him any good face, so he continued to ask in a blunt manner.

Seeing Mr. Qian in front of him, who was hesitant and hesitant, Wei Zheng waved his hand directly.

He asked Zhou Shuyuan behind him, "It seems that you can't give me the answer to this question. Since that's the case, I will directly ask the craftsmen in the craftsman camp."
