Chapter 14 Strange Recruitment Notice

The same notice appeared one after another in all parts of Youzhou. It immediately attracted the attention of many nosy people. Word spread like wings and spread all over Youzhou..

" This workshop recruits highly skilled and skilled blacksmiths and carpenters. Ten taels of silver per month will be paid monthly. Those who are interested can go to Drunken Immortal Pavilion on Xingyuan Street in Luoyan City before the fifteenth of the first month. Those who pass the inspection can be recruited. Those who pass the inspection and are unwilling to be used by our workshop will also be rewarded with twenty taels of silver..

You know, the monthly salary of Youzhou's top craftsmen is only two taels of silver. This notice actually offers five times the price. Even if they are unwilling to work for them, as long as they can pass the inspection, they can still get close to a year's salary..

This made many skilled carpenters and blacksmiths in Youzhou itch. Even if it took a month to return, it was worth it as long as they won the reward..

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the reward.

Craftsmen were eager to try, especially those not far from Luoyan City. Those who had confidence in themselves counted the days. When the appointed time approached, they asked for leave from the workshop one after another. Some promised only to win the reward and would not work, while others simply went all out to win not only the reward but also the monthly salary..

For a time, this recruitment is like a touchstone. All skilled craftsmen want to try it out..

The fifteenth day of the first month is not only the Lantern Festival, but also the recruitment makes this day like a festival for craftsmen, a carnival of skills..

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was already crowded with people. It was even more lively than the Lantern Street on the street. There were more people watching the excitement than the craftsmen participating in the investigation. The periphery of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was packed..

Outside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, a group of guards were maintaining order to prevent the villains from causing trouble..

The furniture and other restaurant items in the building have disappeared..

On the left side, there are tools used by carpenters, such as curved ruler, plane, chisel and ink fountain..

On the right side, there are twenty ignited blacksmith furnaces and various blacksmith tools..

The walls were piled with wooden boards and iron ingots of various colors.

The craftsmen who participated in the on-site investigation completed the examination questions given by the organizers in full swing. They should be fast and of good quality, which greatly tested the craftsmen's skills and proficiency..

After a day of selection, 80 of the more than 230 craftsmen passed the inspection.

Everyone was brought to the private room on the second floor by the organizer to ask if they were willing to work for the workshop. If they were willing, they would receive the reward and sign the contract on the spot. If not, they would directly pay the reward and leave..

Fifty-two of the eighty were willing to work for the workshop, and the rest were paid to leave..

As night fell, the workshop arranged sumptuous delicacies and wine for those who stayed behind. Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, but they fell down like drunks halfway through..

The next day, when everyone woke up, their hands and feet were tied, and their heads were covered with black cloth. They felt as if they were moving. They swayed all the way. Everyone was anxious and did not know where they would be taken..

The westernmost part of Youzhou was a mountain range that stretched for miles. It was called the Immortal Burial Mountain Range. The mist in the mountain was dense, like a fairyland. However, there was a strange power in the mountain. If you went deeper, you would be lost. In addition, there were many fierce beasts in the mountain. The people said that even real immortals would die in this mountain. Therefore, the nearby people were unwilling to enter the mountain..

Even if a desperate person intrudes into the mountains, as long as he strays into the depths, he will be lost in the mountains. Even if he returns only after entering the mountains, few people can return..

At this time, the craftsmen had already been taken out of the car and untied the ropes on their feet. They were led to walk in the mountain forest of the Immortal Burial Mountain Range. From time to time, the roars of beasts came from all over, making everyone's hearts tremble..

After walking not too far, everyone felt that they had drilled through a cave. After they got out of it, they walked for a while. After they stopped walking, the cloth cover on their heads was removed. The craftsmen looked around one after another, wanting to know where they were..

They were in a wide valley surrounded by mountains, flat and pleasant.

Before anyone could take a closer look, an old man in plain clothes came to them..

"Everyone, because this place is not suitable for exposure, I had no choice but to bring everyone here in such a way. Please forgive me. Please rest assured, teachers, I will not lose a penny of the promised money..

The old man explained apologetically to everyone, which greatly reduced the anger of many people..

:.

" They signed a contract with you, and we didn't agree to work. Why did they capture us?" A voice suddenly sounded. Everyone looked over and saw that it was a blacksmith who had already left after receiving the reward. Everyone was shocked and looked around. All the eighty points that passed the assessment were actually here..

"Master, don't be angry. I'll bring everyone to see my young master. If you still want to leave after seeing him, we'll send Master away..

"Go ahead," the old man said, gesturing for an invitation, and led the way ahead, leading the craftsmen into a huge workshop..

Entering the workshop, everyone was stunned by the huge amount of materials and tools. What kind of huge project could use so many objects?.

The old man led everyone to a young man. This man was handsome, but there were three huge scars on his face, ruining the beauty of his face and giving people a ferocious feeling. The young man was Chu Boping, and the old man leading the way was Wu Huaiqing, the highest combat power beside the Crown Prince..

At this time, the old man has quietly stood behind the prince.

In front of Chu Boping was a blazing blacksmith furnace and various blacksmith tools. On the side was a carpenter's workbench, complete with carpenter tools..

"Masters, bringing you here requires a large number of artifacts to be forged. This matter cannot be completed in a short period of time. It is estimated that it will take ten years. During this period, you cannot leave this place..

"But if you wish to stay, I will send for your families to be brought here to be reunited with you, and of course the promised reward will be paid.".

"Next, I'll show you some of my tools, and if anyone wants to leave after the demonstration, I'll send someone to take you away..

After saying that, Chu Boping began to concentrate on making tools. He was seen operating at the blacksmith furnace for a while, and then turning to the carpenter's console. His movements were extremely fast and his skills were very skilled. He was no less than an old master..

In the process of making tools, Chu Boping used many strange techniques, many of which were strange and strange, completely different from ordinary techniques..

The technique speeds up the production process or improves the quality of the finished product, which opens the eyes of many craftsmen..

Not long after, a long saber was forged with a quenching sound. The blade was black with a chill. Although it was forged from ordinary iron ingots, the impurities had been completely removed. If it was made of stainless steel, it could already be considered a famous saber..

After forging the long saber, he did not stop. He continued to operate on the console for a while, and a palm-sized and exquisite palace was completed. The palace was carved with beams and paintings, and it was very exquisite. If you looked carefully, there was a mini person in the palace. It seemed that he was discussing something. Even his expression was vivid..

The craftsmen were stunned by the skills and techniques of the prince. The class was speechless..

"Masters, what I'm showing you is only a small part of the skills I've learned. If you're willing to help me, I'm willing to teach you all the skills of making weapons. I promise that when you leave here in ten years, you will have become a generation of master craftsmen.".

"If you want to leave now, you can go, and someone will send you away.".

Chu Boping looked around, his tone revealing firm confidence..

All the craftsmen looked at each other, and no one chose to leave.

"Alright, since that's the case, everyone take a rest and start work tomorrow..

Then he turned around and left with Wu Huaiqing. After the two of them left, there was a special person to arrange accommodation for the craftsmen..

" Your Highness, if someone really doesn't want to stay, are we really going to send him away?" Wu Huaiqing asked curiously..

"What I'm showing you is the lost method of making weapons of the Mohist family. Those who know the goods among them should have seen through it. I don't think any craftsman can resist such temptation..

Chu Boping smiled, then suddenly changed his tone and said seriously,"If someone really insists on leaving, this matter is too important, we can't take risks, we can only…" As he said this, he made a gesture of cutting his neck..
