Holding his job, Cao Shuo and the craftsmen squatted together.

Listening to the craftsmen telling the process of making weapons, Cao Shu nodded from time to time.

"How many sets of armor were made from the salamander skin I sent last time?" Cao Shuo asked an old craftsman.

"The salamander skin is too tough." said the old craftsman: "So far, only five sets have been made."

"Five sets are not enough, so you have to hurry up." Cao Shuo said: "Hurry and make ten sets."

Cao Shuo came to the craftsman workshop and had dinner with the craftsmen.

At first, the craftsmen were very reserved, but later they gradually let go.

"Young Master, I came up with an idea a few days ago." A young craftsman said: "It should be used to defend the city, but I didn't try it, and I don't know how it is used."

The young craftsman said that he had thought of a way to defend the city. Cao Shu asked with interest: "Tell me, what is the way?"

"People often bring fine wine in craftsmen," said the craftsman: "Most fine wine is enclosed in jars. Someone accidentally made a jar that day, and the wine was filled with fragrance. I thought, if I could light a fire on the jar, I would replace the oil in the jar..."

When he said this, Cao Shu's eyes lit up: "Shut the lit jar down the city. If the jar is broken, the fire can ignite the oil."

"That's what I'm thinking about." The young craftsman said quickly: "Young master can even see through people's thoughts."

"I can't see through your thoughts." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "This method is good. If you use it to defend the city in the future, as long as there is enough oil, it will definitely make a sea of ​​fire under the city. Not to mention using a ladder, even if the enemy uses the siege tower, they can burn all of them."

After being recognized by Cao Shuo, the young craftsman couldn't help but show his pride on his face.

"Leave this matter to you. If it is really feasible, I will let Mi Heng reward you." Cao Shuo said to him.

"Thank you, young master!" The young craftsman hurriedly gave Cao Shu a big gift.

Cao Shuo was having a meal while talking to the craftsmen. Miheng, who was ordered to come, walked over quickly.

When he arrived, Mi Heng asked Cao Shu: "Young Master came to the craftsman's workshop, why didn't you say it in advance?"

"Tell you in advance? Let you prepare?" Cao Shuo glanced at him: "If that were the case, wouldn't I be able to see anything wrong?"

"What's wrong with the craftsman workshop?" Mi Heng grinned awkwardly.

"What can I get wrong?" Cao Shuo said: "The problem with the craftsman workshop is really quite good."

Cao Shu said that there were many problems with the craftsman workshop, and Mi Heng glared at several officials in charge.

The officials all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him, obviously very afraid of Mi Heng.

"It has little to do with them." Cao Shuo said: "You have many things you haven't done well."

"Please make it clear for me," Mi Heng said quickly: "If something is not done well, I will change it!"

"The canteen of the craftsman workshop." Cao Shuo said: "There has not been a war recently, so I will come to the craftsman workshop frequently. I can't sit steadily for a few people. Either build a place for everyone to go in and eat, or I will squat together with the craftsmen and guards when I come here."

"Young Master wants to build a larger canteen in the craftsman's workshop?" Mi Heng said: "I will arrange for craftsmen to come over to measure the land and calculate the construction cost later."

"Talking to a wise man is worry-free." After putting the empty bowl of food on the ground, Cao Shu stood up and said to Mi Heng: "I have nothing else to do when I come here, just look at the salamander skin who left here last time, making several sets of armor."

"It should be only five sets." Miheng replied.

"It seems that you still have some understanding of the things here." Cao Shuo said: "A lot of things in Shouchun City have been left to you, and the burden on your shoulders is indeed not very light."

"I can handle the work for the young master even if the burden on my shoulders is heavier." Mi Heng said: "If I don't care about what the young master told me, I can't let others ask me about it."

After patting Mi Heng's arm, Cao Shu turned around and looked at the young craftsman who made the suggestion: "He just proposed a solution, I think it's good. He has already assigned him to do it. If you look back and ask him what you need, just provide it."

"I understand." Mi Heng responded and asked Cao Shu: "Young Master is leaving now?"

"If you don't leave and stay here, can you have to have dinner?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Come with me, I have something to say to you."

Miheng followed Cao Shuo to the main entrance of the craftsman workshop.

"Do you know why I asked you to expand the canteen?" Cao Shuo asked.

Mi Heng, who was not clear about the process, asked in confusion: "Isn't the young master polite to his subordinates?"

"It is better to be polite to subordinates, and it is more important to solve some troubles for you." Cao Shuo said: "The canteen of the craftsman workshop is only a little big. Although the food is the same, the few people and guards here are eating separately. What will the guards and craftsmen think if they can't see what they are eating?"

"I will definitely think they eat better." Mi Heng replied.

"I didn't say anything in front of the guards and the craftsmen." Cao Shu said: "If I said it, neither you nor them would look good."

"I understand the thoughts of the young master." Mi Heng said: "In the future, I will tell the people in charge here to eat and sleep with the guards and craftsmen."

"Different official ranks receive different salary." Cao Shuo said: "The salary is higher. I don't care about how they are at home, but since I am here, I have to follow my rules."

"And!" He changed his subject and then said to Mi Heng: "Not only the craftsmen, but all the places under your jurisdiction are the same. I don't want unnecessary estrangement in the future because the distance between the manager and the managed is too distant."

"Don't worry, young master, this kind of thing will never happen again." Mi Heng bowed and said.

After patting his arm again, Cao Shuo took Cai Ji and others to leave the craftsman's workshop.

"I thought they ate different things." After following Cao Shu and walking not far, Cai Ji said.

"I haven't remembered this yet," Cao Shuo said, "When you were in the cafeteria, what the hell did you wink with them?"

"How could I make trouble in front of the young master?" Cai Ji said with a smile.

"It means I'm carrying me on my back. I don't know what you have done?" Cao Shuo tilted his head and looked at him.

Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Cai Ji hurriedly said, "Even if the young master gives me a hundred courages, I won't dare!"

"You have to remember that no matter what your relationship with the people below, you have to report the problem if you find it." Cao Shu said: "You are the person around me. I don't want you to find out the problem and hide it from me, but let me get news from others."
