Chapter 33 Volume One Craftsman, Fast Horse, Conspiracy

While Chunhua and the others were studying making gloves, Liu San had already arrived at the door of the study.

Early this morning, he took the two people who arrived early yesterday to look for the craftsmen. Originally, this job should be done by Zhao Yan, but since Li Chengqian was going out, the person responsible for escorting him was naturally Zhao Yan, who had arrived in Jingyang earlier than them. It was more suitable.

.

"Master, everyone is here, they are in the front yard,"

Li Chengqian stood up and looked at Chang Le, who was watching Chunhua and others making gloves. Seeing her watching him get up, her eyes moved to him, and he immediately stretched out his hand.

When Changle saw this, he immediately stood up and took Li Chengqian's hand.

When she first left Chang'an City, she still had some fresh energy, but once she was really far away from Chang'an, that fresh energy had long been taken over by the fear brought to her by strangers.

When we came to the front yard, a group of craftsmen wearing coarse linen clothes were standing in the yard, some tiptoeing, and very uneasy.

If it weren't for the price offered by Liu San and others that they couldn't refuse, they really wouldn't be willing to come.

"Why are you standing in the yard?" Li Chengqian saw this and said, "Liu San, why don't you invite people into the house?"

After all, Li Chengqian still doesn’t understand this era.

However, although he didn't understand it, these craftsmen abided by the rules of this era. When he heard what he said, they all waved their hands and said: "No, no, no, we are all untouchables, and we don't dare to dirty the master's mansion."

They are not stupid. Although this young man is not old, he is well-dressed. He is also holding a pretty little girl. In addition, Liu San and several sturdy men are guarding him. At first glance, he is a child of a wealthy family.

, it’s not something they dare to be presumptuous about.

If they knew that the person standing in front of them was the current prince, they might not even be able to stand still.

Liu San was also a little stunned. This was really inappropriate.

The status of craftsmen has not been high since ancient times. If you want such a group of guys to invade the palace in front of the prince, it is really embarrassing for them.

Seeing that he couldn't resist these old-fashioned guys, Li Chengqian gave up the idea, and immediately asked someone to get a few charcoal stoves, and simply talked with them in the yard.

After everything was arranged, Li Chengqian asked: "Is it possible to make a carriage?"

"If you want to find someone to build a carriage, then you are not wrong to find us." When talking about his own job, a craftsman immediately picked up the topic and said, "My name is Zhang Erniu, and my ancestors have been here for generations.

They are all craftsmen, I dare not say anything else, but in Jingyang alone, at least 30% of the carriages come from my Zhang family."

"No, Zhang Erniu, why am I so unwilling to listen to you? You said it was fine before, but your Zhang family is indeed like this." The person who answered the question said, and gave a thumbs up, but then he added

Said, "But now, if you count the dogs you have at home, are there two males?"

After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

"No, I remember that the dogs at Erniu's house are all female, and they just keep puppies."

Zhang Erniu's family has been in a bad situation in the past few years, and with the continuous natural disasters in the pass, he and his daughter are the only ones left in the family. If not for the good situation this year, the father and daughter would probably have to go to the streets to beg for food.

"Young master, please be careful what you say in front of your face!" Liu San scolded them immediately after hearing their vulgar words.

When he said this, everyone immediately reacted and stopped laughing one by one.

Li Chengqian didn't care about this. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just feel free to do it."

He really didn't care. Hearing this unfamiliar Guanzhong accent suddenly made him feel more familiar.

It's not that he speaks in a local accent, it's mainly that in the era he lived in, that's how everyone spoke.

After traveling to the Tang Dynasty, all he came into contact with were literati, and all of them spoke in a refined manner, forcing him to do the same.

However, even though he said this, those craftsmen were still very cautious. The hierarchy of superiority and inferiority cultivated over thousands of years was far more than Li Chengqian could eliminate with a few words.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian could only continue: "I want to build a few carriages to travel long distances, but the current carriages are too bumpy. Do you have any ideas?"

When talking about these professional things, everyone started to ponder.

After a while, it was Zhang Erniu who said first: "Young Master has a distinguished status. His carriage must be different from that of untouchables like us. It must also be equipped with Dangtu and Futu. If so, we are powerless. Please invite Young Master

Forgive me."

Zhang Erniu's tone was very humble. He knew very well that these noble sons and young masters were far from being offended by them.

To put it bluntly, if someone said that he was not even worthy of shining Li Chengqian's shoes, he would not refute it. At best, he would leave, spit in a deserted place, and then curse, what the hell.

But it was the only way he could think of to vent.

After listening to Zhang Erniu's words, the others all agreed.

No matter how good our relationship is in private, at this moment, we are still grasshoppers on the same rope.

Li Chengqian was not surprised by their reaction, it was just expected.

Waving his hand, Li Chengqian said: "It doesn't matter, I have drawn a few drawings here, you can just build it according to my drawings."

The reason why I ask is actually to see the level of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty. Obviously, these people are more than conservative and not enterprising enough.

With that said, Li Chengqian handed over the drawings he drew to everyone.

At first, no one took it seriously.

What does a pampered young master know about craftsmanship?

Although they were in awe, it was not Li Chengqian's ability that they were in awe of, just his identity.

But when these craftsmen saw the drawings drawn by Li Chengqian, they became more and more surprised!

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, terrified!

Although they have little education, as craftsmen, they can naturally understand such simple drawings.

They know how to make horse-drawn carriages, and have made quite a few, but they dare to say that such an exquisitely designed horse-drawn carriage is the only one in the world!

Thinking about it this way, I felt even more uneasy.

These days, craftsmanship is passed down from family or learned from apprentices. They have never seen someone like Li Chengqian directly take it out and award it to others.

"This..." someone said in disbelief.

After all, it is the tradition of the feudal dynasty to cherish the broom.

"It's just a piece of broken blueprint. This and such, my young master asked you to look at it without fear." Liu San knew that Li Chengqian didn't understand this, so he immediately said.

After hearing what he said, Li Chengqian also understood, and immediately said: "It doesn't matter, just do it according to my requirements, and this drawing will be regarded as part of the reward."

"Don't dare." Someone said at the moment, "This drawing has already benefited us a lot. We don't dare to ask for any more reward."

They are craftsmen, so they naturally know the price of this drawing. That is to say, Liu San has a fierce look on his face. If it were someone else, he would point at his nose and scold him for his ignorance...

Li Chengqian didn't care about these, and then said: "These are just rough things, the real essence is not yet in them."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. Although they knew how precious this thing was, greed is still human nature.

Seeing their reaction, Li Chengqian didn't mind and continued: "If anyone is willing to follow us out of Jingyang, I can teach them the true essence.

Of course, our trip is going to the northwest, which for you will undoubtedly mean leaving home.

But there is one thing you can rest assured. As long as you follow me and work with peace of mind, I don’t dare to accept the promise of getting rich and wealthy, but I can still achieve the goal of having enough food and clothing.

You think about it for yourselves, and I won’t disturb you anymore.”

After saying that, Li Chengqian stopped staying and left the front yard with Chang Le in hand.

He is here, and these people are not at ease.

The group of craftsmen also looked confused at this moment, and they immediately started discussing.

However, while they were discussing, dozens of fast horses galloped away from the Golden Light Gate in Chang'an City.

They had only one mission on this trip, which was to inform Ashina Zerli and Murong Fuyun about the news of Li Chengqian's westward journey.
