I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 294
The development of "fire-inch strips" has been reported to the county office, and sulfur is flammable, so the chief craftsman allowed Wang Ge to take the wood away.

As Wang Ge's reputation spread, Mrs. Zou and Liu Qing escorted her to and from the craftsman's house every day, and two other brave men followed.

Tian Yongfu is a local.

Duan Yongfu is from the Yilou tribe, and his background is a bit funny.He was captured by Mrs. Duan when he was young, and after being beaten by Mrs. Duan, he lost his temper and then surrendered. Since then, he has been loyal and made many contributions.When he settled in Xiangping, he changed his surname to "Duan" because of his admiration for the female warrior in his heart. When Mrs. Duan found out, she beat him up again.

On the way, Wang Ge noticed that Mrs. Zou was preoccupied. When she arrived at the gate of the city and lined up to enter the city, the other party frowned even more tightly.

It must be Zou Langjun's business.Mrs. Zou's younger brother works as an official in the county office. Some time ago, he went out to do errands. In order to earn an extra day's allowance, he went to the outskirts of the county.

This matter was widely circulated in Xiangping, and it was no longer a matter of Zou Langjun being able to serve as an official. He had already married, and according to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, ordinary people were not allowed to take concubines.

Mrs. Zou was very decisive. First, she asked her younger brother to resign as an official. Probably Zou Langjun knew that he could not refuse, so he obeyed.Next, Mrs. Zou asked Brother to report to the official, not to entangle with the family in private, he couldn't find witnesses for this kind of thing, and there was no physical evidence to sue the family, just let the government investigate.

What happened later, Wang Ge didn't know, but seeing how annoyed the other party was, Zou Langjun probably caused trouble again.

The team moved forward slowly, she waited for Mrs. Zou to stand side by side, held hands lightly, and said caringly: "Sister, you can tell me what's on your mind."

Ms. Zou's face was full of sorrow, and her eyes were full of determination. She whispered: "There are some things, I know that something is wrong, but I hate being dragged down by stupid people, and I can't escape."

"Sister, do you want to visit Kuaiji County?"

"what?"

"Tuyi County, Kuaiji County, my hometown, where the mountains are covered with verdant green in winter, there are tall and straight bamboos everywhere, and rivers surrounded by mountains. In two years, sister, come with me."

Although Mrs. Zou's sorrow did not dissipate, she still squeezed out a gratified smile.

At this moment, Mr. Yilang came from the rear of the team with strong footsteps, and Liu Qing stood behind Mrs. Zou, stretching out his weapons to block. "What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for..." The gentleman pointed to Mrs. Zou, begging in a hurry: "Sister, help me."

Wang Ge looked at the person who came, he is Mrs. Zou's younger brother?If you look closely, it looks a bit like it.

"I've already helped you, and I've come up with an idea. If you don't listen, how can you help me!" Mrs. Zou said coldly.

"Take a step to talk to the head office?"

"All that needs to be said has been said."

"During the years you joined the army, I took care of your family. The words of gratitude my sister said seemed to be nothing more than a momentary apology."

Mrs. Zou's lower lip trembled slightly, and the two looked at each other without giving in. She sneered and said, "You're right, I can't owe you forever. Don't follow me anymore!"

Arriving at the official house, Liu Qing put down the sulfur powder and returned to the market to meet Fu Jun and Bian Yan.

After dinner, Mrs. Zou seemed to have forgotten her worries, and called Mrs. Shangzhuan and Mrs. Nan to apply sulfur powder on one end of the fir sticks and pine chips according to Wang Ge's instructions.In his previous life, Wang Nanxing only found information on "fire-inch strips", but did not experiment, so half of the wood was painted with one-third, and the other half of the wood was only painted with one inch.

No matter how much or how little it is applied, it must be applied evenly. For this, Wang Ge cut Bairong's tail in advance and made a few small brushes.

While it was still daylight, she started to carve the modules. The wood she used was the ones she bought back from the chef at the price of firewood last time.The modules are all carved into mortise and tenon joints, big and small, with repetitive structures and special structures.They can be assembled into magnificent city walls, vast mountains and rivers, or paved into roads and rivers, or display the assembly of infantry and knights, arrays of various weapons, and convoys of cattle and horses.

Only county-level craftsmen, who must be heavenly craftsmen or military craftsmen, are allowed to develop special weapons such as maps or sand tables.Of course, Wang Ge wants to combine the map with the sand table, but it is still in the preliminary design, and he is not as confident as the "fire inch strip".

A few days ago, whenever she squeezed out time, she thought about the overall model diagram, the exploded diagram, or draw on the ground again and again, and change it again and again.Today is the real start of work, and the sawdust falls finely under the carving knife. Because she is too focused on the carving process, she always looks like she is frowning and asking for debts.

Mrs. Nan motioned the two people to look, Mrs. Zou shook her head lightly at them, trying not to make a sound, not to disturb Wang Ge.

The three ladies were too cautious, and there was a sudden thunder next to them, and Qiao Jue's carpenter's hands were steady.

It was getting dark soon, and it would be very troublesome to carve under the candlelight. Wang Ge collected the tools and wood, and began to practice basic skills blindly day after day in the courtyard.After being awarded the title of "Master of Liaodong" this year, she had a breakthrough in her state of mind, and she was able to use one mind at two when practicing basic skills.

She recalled the unhappiness at the gate of the city in the evening, and recalled Mrs. Zou's unusual sad mood... The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something hidden about Mrs. Zou's hatred, and it was not just her younger brother who was not up to date.

At this time, in a restaurant in the market, Liu Qing no longer hesitated, and said to his two friends: "I've made up my mind, I'd better stay in Xiangping. In the past, people praised me for being smart, but it was just because of the praise of my elders. I took the praise time and time again, so that I couldn't bear the setbacks and fell into a state of depression. Especially when Sima Tao angered Wang Ge these two times, I watched with cold eyes. Didn't I have more despicable thoughts in my heart? Did I have such a heart? In an instant, are you hoping for Sima Tao's success and Wang Ge's defeat?"

Fu Jun squatted down the wine cup: "Shut up, Ah Qing! You have degraded yourself too much! If you have such a character, what am I who regards you as a confidant?"

Bian Dan: "I believe you too. Ah Qingmo blamed himself, you dare to look into your heart, you are braver than me. If you want to stay in Xiangping, stay, and whenever you want to go to the front line, you can gallop. Your heart will not stop You yourself, no one can stop you. Ah Qing, Ah Jun, this is what I think. There is no difference in ambition, and the battlefield is not only on the front line. Come, take a selfie with the wine first, and remember the way we are now. I am a teenager now, and I hope that when we meet again, I will still be a teenager!"

"Good!" Liu Qing and Fu Jun applauded.

"Take care of each other, we are teenagers now, when we meet again, we will still be teenagers!"

child time.

Wang Ge went back to the house with light steps. Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Nan were snoring one after another like scolding, neither of them obeyed the other.She lay down and turned to Mrs. Zou. Sure enough, she was not asleep.

"Aren't you willing to tell me, sister?"

"My family is a military household. After my father returned to Xiangping due to injury, my younger brother and I faced a choice. Either I went to the garrison camp or my younger brother went. At that time, my family was poor, and it was hard to say whether it was better to stay at home or go out. .My father understands my younger brother’s temperament, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to come back after going to the battlefield, so I left home. Jiangong is not as easy as I thought at first, especially in a battlefield where you can’t see swords and swords on the surface.”

Wang Ge was surprised, could it be that Mrs. Zou had been...a spy!
