Hearing Sun Pingping's voice, Zhou Shu's first reaction was to put those banknotes into his arms.
Then he pulled off the worn quilt and covered the piles of gifts.
As soon as he completed this series of actions, Sun Pingping had already pushed the door open and entered unceremoniously.
"Dangdangdangdang——"
Sun Pingping had a smile on his face and raised his right hand high, "Look! The century-old wine in Zuixianlou is a good wine that even the rich can't buy!"
"To congratulate you on your promotion, brother, I am bleeding a lot."
Sun Pingping staggered into Zhou Shu's work shed, and he didn't feel embarrassed. He sat down directly at the table and put the palm-sized green wine pot on the table.
Zhou Shu glanced at the wine pot. He had heard of Zuixianlou, but he didn't know whether it was a century-old wine or not.
Even if it is true, that palm-sized wine flask can only hold half a catty of bar at most?
The person who came to him today, Sun Ping Ping, was the one with the meanest moves...
"Thank you."
After all, people didn’t come in empty-handed. Even if Zhou Shu didn’t want to see Sun Ping Ping, he still cupped his hands and said, “Do you have anything to do with me?”
"Hey." Sun Pingping chuckled, "Brother Zhou won't recognize me as a lowly acquaintance after being promoted, right?"
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes, are you considered poor?
He had inquired about it, and found out that a top-notch martial artist like Sun Ping Ping would receive at least one thousand taels a year. In his previous life, he would have received proper treatment as a young genius from Huawei.
If he is considered poor and humble, then what is the role of a soldier-making apprentice?
Regardless of the fact that he is now the head of the Weapons Forging Department Workshop, Sun Ping Ping's status will only be higher than his.
Moreover, Sun Pingping can easily invite Yin Wuyou out, which is not something ordinary ninth-level warriors can do.
If you say that he has no background, even Zhou Shu would not believe it even if he killed him!
"Don't fix those useless things, talk about what's important."
Zhou Shu knew very well that for people like Sun Ping Ping, if you talked nonsense with him, he would go all the way.
"Didn't we make an agreement yesterday? Brother, I'm going to ask the weapon maker to help me forge a high-quality weapon. Aren't I still short on hand? Brother Zhou, please lend me a little, not much, just one thousand taels." p>
Sun Pingping laughed and said, "I know clearly that he is a ninth-grade warrior, but if I don't know, I think he is some kind of street kid.
Zhou Shu looked him up and down. This guy was dressed in fine clothes and was a ninth-level warrior. He didn't look like someone who was short of money.
Moreover, one thousand taels comes with a mouthful. Do you know what the concept of one thousand taels is?
When Zhou Shu was a soldier-making apprentice, he could not earn more than ten taels a year! He could not earn more than a thousand taels in a hundred years!
"Don't bother me with your lack of money today. I've seen it all. People from at least twenty families have come to visit you today."
"I know the behavior of those people, and they will definitely not be too shabby if they take action!"
Zhou Shu was speechless. This guy came well prepared. Don't mention it. The total gifts given by these people who came today are almost more than a thousand taels.
Sun Ping Ping has calculated well before he can speak.
"What if I say I won't borrow it?"
Zhou Shu looked at Sun Pingping and said.
Sun Pingping's own strength is nothing to Zhou Shu, but it's unclear how big his background is.
If he really couldn't afford to offend, Zhou Shu would have to think about it.
"Don't." Sun Pingping shouted with a bitter face, "Brother Zhou, our friendship is worth tens of thousands of dollars! It's normal to have friendship, you help me and I help you."
"Everyone knows who I am, Sun Ping Ping, and it is absolutely impossible for me to borrow money and not repay it!"
Sun Pingping did not threaten, but grabbed Zhou Shu's arm with a look of pleading.
"Sun Shendu, you are also a top-grade warrior after all. Judging from the clothes you wear, you can feed and drink for an ordinary person for a year. One thousand taels is nothing to you, right?"
Zhou Shu asked very curiously, "Look at me. I live in a place like this and don't even have any clothes of my own. If you come to me to borrow money, aren't you putting the cart before the horse?"
"I am a golden person." Sun Pingping didn't care about self-deprecation, "How can I compare to you, Brother Zhou?"
"To tell you the truth, the errands of the God Catcher Division are incomparable to those of you as the head of the workshop. It's very thankless. The salary for a year is only that much, so the exchange of favors is indispensable, right? Running around catching thieves.
, the superiors do not provide reimbursement, and the various costs are too numerous to count.”
"How can you be so comfortable? If you just forge a few weapons, others will rush to buy them..."
"In that case, why don't you come to the Weapons Forging Division?"
Zhou Shu said.
The Weapons Forging Department is not a private business. The weapons that are forged are also supplied to the three armies of Great Xia. Profit is not the primary goal at all.
Even if the weapons are sold for money, they are not private, but national.
As a workshop boss, not to mention the gray income, the salary is simply not comparable to that of a great catcher like Sun Ping Ping.
"Forget it, I don't know how to blacksmith, and besides, I still like to be free."
Sun Pingping's head was swung like a rattle.
"I don't have the money, and I can't lend it to you if I do." Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "My workshop zero is under construction. No matter how much money I have, it won't be enough. I still want to find someone to borrow money."<
/p>
"However, your problem is not unsolvable."
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment and continued.
Even if you don’t mention Sun Ping Ping’s background, he is already a ninth-grade warrior at such a young age, so it’s better not to offend him as much as possible.
"What can you do? Is it possible that you know the Weapon Master and can give me a discount?"
Sun Pingping was not interested and said dejectedly.
"I don't know the Weapon Forger, but if you're not in a hurry, you can wait until I become the Weapon Forger. Then, I can help you forge a high-quality weapon for free." Zhou Shu said, "Of course, you can use the materials yourself.
Out."
"You?"
Sun Pingping was stunned for a moment, and looked Zhou Shu up and down with wide eyes, "You really dare to think."
"By the time you become a weapon maker, the day lily will be cold."
"Then there's nothing I can do to help."
Zhou Shu shrugged and said.
It is impossible to lend money to him. He is a proletarian, lending money to a guy who may be the second generation?
"I was thinking, you said that after you become a weapon maker, you can help me forge a high-quality weapon for free. Can you give me a discount?"
"Get out!"
……
Although Sun Pingping did not borrow a penny from Zhou Shu, he was not worried.
Judging from his appearance, he is not in a hurry even though he is short of money.
After being rejected by Zhou Shu, he followed Zhou Shu enthusiastically to check out the site of Workshop Zero.
"Hey, thirty acres, almost reaching my back garden."
Sun Pingping clicked his tongue and said, "Brother Zhou, your Forging Department is very stingy, and only gave you one thousand taels of construction costs. How about you lend me one thousand taels first, and I will pay you back two thousand taels later?"
People, it’s so realistic.
I used to be Brother Zhou, but now I am Brother Zhou...
"Don't even think about it. This is public money. Do you understand what public money means? If you misappropriate it casually, neither you nor I will be able to live with it!"
Zhou Shu said angrily.
When he met such a shameless guy, he had no clue at all.
Even though I clearly told him that he had no money, he still refused to leave.
Drive him away. Unless you reveal your true strength, you won't be able to defeat him.
What a piece of brown candy!
"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who knows?"
Sun Pingping curled his lips and said nonchalantly.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes and said, "The God of the God Catcher Division knows the law and breaks the law!"
"I'm telling you, it's useless for you to follow me. Every penny in my hand is useful and will be used immediately. I have no money to lend you."
Zhou Shu said, "As for you, you can either wait for me to help you forge weapons after I become a weapon maker, or you can go find someone else to borrow money."
"Hey, Brother Zhou, you seem to be very confident about becoming a weapon master." Sun Pingping chuckled, "What a pity, I am now a ninth-grade warrior. If I don't have a first-grade weapon by my side for a long time, I will
I can’t afford to lose this person.”
Zhou Shu was too lazy to pay attention to him. Promising him to help him forge weapons in the future was already giving him face. No matter how much more, Zhou Shu would never promise.
Zhou Shu himself doesn’t know when he will become a weapon maker.
Zhou Shu was just an unknown apprentice before. Even if he forged high-quality weapons, he would most likely be murdered by someone who wanted to make money before he was recognized.
Now he doesn't worry about this anymore. He relies on Yin Wuyou's golden thigh. As long as he can forge high-quality weapons, he will be recognized by the court immediately.
If others want to steal his secret recipe for making weapons, it will not be that easy.
Yin Wuyou is not a person like Xiao Zongshui. For her, it is a good thing for Daxia to have one more weapons master.
So now, for him, there are no obstacles on the road to becoming a weapon forger. The only difficulty is when the Divine Weapon Atlas will give him the secret recipe for forging high-grade weapons.
"What are you drawing? Is it so troublesome to build a workshop?" Sun Pingping leaned over and looked at the drawings in Zhou Shu's hand.
Zhou Shu is adjusting his plan based on the site of Workshop Zero.
"Why don't we just build it according to the workshops next to it?"
Sun Pingping pointed to other workshops in the Forging Department in the distance.
The entire Armory Division workshop is like a large arsenal located on the outskirts of the imperial capital. It occupies a very large area. From Workshop No. 37 to Workshop No. 108, they are all located here, and more than ten thousand people live in it. The buildings in the previous workshops were useless except for protecting against wind and rain. Of course Zhou Shu would not build them like them.
He heard that the thirty-sixth workshop in front of the Forging Department was built in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and they were entitled to have their own names and would no longer be regarded as workshops to the outside world.
Zhou Shu’s goal is that Workshop Zero must have its own name in the future. Naturally, his workshop cannot look like a slum.
Even if it can’t be beautiful, it still has to be beautiful.
"Sun Pingping, let me ask you something. When building a house, where should I hire a construction team?"
Zhou Shu looked at Sun Pingping and asked.
"Construction team?"
Sun Pingping paused for a moment before he understood, "There are craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry. They built the palace. Build a workshop and you can easily get it. After all, they are also your colleagues in the Forging Department. You can just go to them directly.
Maybe there will be a discount on the price.”
"Understood, thank you!"
Zhou Shu said and hurried away. He wanted to build Workshop Zero immediately and didn't want to wait for a moment!
