I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Daoist Master Danyangzi, there is no need to speculate. This king just needs you now, so you can stay. You can go back and wait for news, or you can just stay in the palace and wait for me at any time." arrange."

"I stayed!"

At this time, Dan Yangzi already had interest and fighting spirit.

He is extremely accurate in seeing people's faces, and it is impossible not to see them.But in Du Qi's place, Dan Yangzi couldn't see through it, so such a situation made Dan Yangzi feel weird.

Du Qi nodded and said: "Okay, you can stay. But right now, the king needs some materials such as saltpeter and sulfur. You have to be prepared for this, and these are needed in large quantities."

Dan Yangzi said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, this is enough."

Du Qi nodded and said nothing more.

Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng saw it. Although they didn't understand Du Qi's intention, they frowned.For warlocks, Guo Xiaozheng and Liu Zhengxi, as Confucian scholars, actually instinctively resist.

Zi didn't talk strangely, and both of them didn't like such supernatural things.

But he didn't speak.

What Du Qi has decided is not easy to change.And right now, Danyangzi has just surrendered, and there is no harm, so he can only take a step to see the follow-up development.

"Report!"

Just then, a soldier came.

The soldier saw Du Qi, bowed to Du Qi, turned to face Liu Zhengxi, and reported: "Master Liu, just now I have discovered a very capable person who is good at making instruments. He took out a In this book, it is said that it was inherited from the Mohist School in the pre-Qin period, and he is the heir of the Mohist School, who can make many siege equipment and defensive equipment."

After a pause, the soldier said again: "Even, he can make wooden kites that fly in the air. Those left behind by people for the time being, Master Liu, do you want to see them?"

Liu Zhengxi said, "Bring people here."

The soldier turned to inform.

Liu Zhengxi looked at Du Qi again, and asked: "Your Highness, Master Guo and I have arranged for a reviewer. If it is an extremely outstanding person, he will report it directly, so there is another person now."

Du Qi said with a smile: "This king is also very interested now. A person who can make a flying wooden kite must not be easy. Especially if he came from the Mohist School in the pre-Qin period, it is not easy!"

Du Qi needs these people.

Even for Du Qi, he would rather have more craftsmen than scholars.

Scholars who are officials can be cultivated.

Even if you don't know anything about it, as long as you are willing to cultivate it, it will be fine.But craftsmen are different. Craftsmen belong to a more humble profession, not many people are willing to do it, and truly high-skilled craftsmen are extremely scarce.

After a while, people brought them over.

The people who came this time were quite normal. They looked like they were in their thirties or nearly forty years old. They were quite strong, but their hands were slender, but their fingers were quite thick. They looked like people who often do things.

"Caomin Wang Wenkai, pay my respects to King Pingxi."

The name of the visitor was Wang Wenkai.

He was born as a craftsman, and his ancestors were all craftsmen. He made some farm tools, ironware, and some miscellaneous utensils at home.However, Wang Wenkai was not satisfied with this. When he was young, he found a book dedicated to making many utensils from the collection of books at home, and then studied according to the above records.

Although many utensils are not easy to make, and even the production plan is somewhat wrong, Wang Wenkai enjoys it and enjoys this situation very much.

Du Qi recruited talents, and Wang Wenkai came here on his own initiative, hoping to show his strengths.

Du Qi nodded and said: "The person who heard the report said that you are a craftsman. Apart from many utensils, you can even make wooden kites that can fly in the air."

"Yes!"

Wang Wenkai nodded and answered.

Du Qi asked, "Where's your wooden kite?"

Wang Wenkai reported: "Reporting to King Pingxi, Caomin's wooden kite is at home. To take off, the wooden kite needs a certain height. If you want to try it now, you need to go back home."

Wood kite

Du Qi became interested and ordered: "Let's go, let's go to your house and have a look."

People like Wang Wenkai have the potential to be great craftsmen.

The premise is true.

Upon hearing Du Qi's words, Wang Wenkai hurriedly said, "Yes, King Pingxi will follow me."

Du Qi looked at Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng, and said, "You stay here and continue to preside over this. My king will go with Wang Wenkai."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng nodded in answer.

The two of them are going to preside over things now, and for the time being, there is no way out.

Du Qi took Mo Ledo and a team of guards to Wang Wenkai's house together with Wang Wenkai.Wang Wenkai's home is in the south city of Yiwu City, not in the north city area.

It took some time to cross the North and South City.However, when he arrived at Wang's house, Du Qi was a little surprised, because Wang Wenkai's house was located in a remote location, and the house was very spacious. After all, there were no people nearby.

Wang Wenkai explained: "Your Highness, our family originally lived in Beicheng. However, when I made farm tools and other tables, chairs and benches, it took a lot of time. I often came home very late, so the family moved to Nancheng. .

Although it is remote, the backyard is very spacious, especially there is an area in the back mountain, which is enough for me to make farm tools and other items. "

When they reached the door, Wang Wenkai pushed open the door and led Du Qi inside.

In the yard, an old woman was picking vegetables.The age of the old woman is at least 60 years old.After she saw Wang Wenkai, she said: "Erlang, who is this? Could it be that there is some business coming. But didn't you say today that you want to recommend yourself to see if you can work in the palace?"

Wang Wenkai hurriedly said: "Mother, this is King Pingxi. His Highness came to the mansion to see me, Muyuan."

When the old woman heard this, she stood up quickly, and saluted Du Qi with a cautious look.

Du Qi said: "You don't have to be like this, you are busy with your work. Wang Wenkai and I went to the backyard to see the utensils he made. It is really good that you have raised a good son."

The old woman was very happy when she heard it.

Wang Wenkai led Du Qi to the backyard. The backyard of this mansion is extremely spacious.After leaving the house where he lived, he walked around the corridor and walked for a while before arriving at an extremely spacious backyard.

Wood is placed everywhere here, and there are visiting utensils everywhere. There are some extremely small flowers, birds, insects, and fish, as well as some wooden tables, chairs and benches, as well as some agricultural tools, and even siege equipment.

In short, all kinds of sundries are readily available.

Wang Wenkai said with a smile: "I'm the only one in the backyard. It's so messy that His Highness laughed at it."

Du Qidao: "It's okay, I don't care about these. As long as you are capable, don't say that your place is a mess, even if it is like a chicken coop, I don't care. But anyone with great talent has some special hobbies and has his own. Habits, that's extremely normal."
