The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 485
At the beginning of October, Ding Yi left Japan first, then returned to Lushun first, took Zhao Dashan's soldiers, horses and sailors stationed in Dayuan, and headed for Dayuan.

It was on Ding Yi's way to Da Yuan.

Fuzhou city.

Yuan Tian wandered back home with a small wine bottle in his hand.

"Brother Yuan is back." Wang Jier greeted him gently, with a trace of shame flashing across his face.

Yuan Tian was full of smiles, stretched out his arms to hug her, and pinched her graceful body a few times before letting go.

Last year, Yuan Tian was transferred to a new craftsmanship department because of his better gun tubes. The salary was also higher. Now he earns five taels of silver per month. Wang Jier quickly threw himself into his arms and finally let Yuan Tian get what he wanted. , the two didn't talk about getting married, they lived together openly, and Wang Min also acquiesced.

He also often drinks with Yuan Tian and talks about things.

Yuan Tian brought some wine home today and called Wang Min over to drink with him.

After taking a few sips, Yuan Tian said, "It's boring over there, I want to come back and do it."

"Why? Aren't the wages high over there?" Wang Jier hurriedly served him wine gently.

Wang Min also looked at him unexpectedly: "I still want to go there, no one wants me."

"I heard that the quality of the guns we used to shoot was relatively low and we had to sell them to others." Yuan Tian said, "I'm shooting a kind of guns over there now. It seems that we don't need matchsticks or ignition, and we can shoot directly. superb."

"What? There's this kind of gun?" Wang Min opened his eyes wide and exchanged glances with Wang Jier.

"The part you saw with your own eyes?" Wang Min said excitedly.

But soon, he found himself a little agitated, and sat back right away.

"Of course I saw it. I'm still in charge of the gun barrel. I'm not allowed to touch those things. I just watched them from a distance." Yuan Tian said.

Then he said: "The gun barrel is more difficult to hit, and the requirements are higher. I would rather come back."

"Don't you use a machine to play now? Brother Yuan, you can persevere, and you can't be underestimated." Wang Jier touched him a few times with his soft body, and Yuan Tian's body began to soften immediately.

"I really don't know how they made this machine? It's amazing." Wang Min also had to be convinced.

The three of them were drinking and chatting when suddenly someone knocked on the door: "Bang bang bang"

"Who is it?" Wang Jier was surprised, and got up to open the door.

I saw a group of armored soldiers rushing in from outside, and there was another one who looked like a craftsman.

"Yuan Tian."

"Carpenter Lin." Yuan Tian quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Have you eaten yet, come over for a drink?"

"Ba..." Carpenter Lin threw a gun barrel on the ground: "Did you hit this?"

袁田拿起来一看, 上面有编号007——1009。007是他的编号，10是十月, 09是他这个月打的第9根铳管。

"I hit it? What's wrong?" Yuan Tian asked.

"The wall of the gun is a little thinner. The gun almost exploded today. What are our rules? Do you know?" Carpenter Lin said with a sullen face.

"Hiss..." Yuan Tian's face changed drastically, without saying a word, "Plop" directly knelt down: "Carpenter Lin, I just missed it for a while, give me a chance."

"A momentary miss may be a life on the battlefield. A victory or defeat, Yuan Tian, ​​I will give you a chance, who will give me a chance? Come on."

Immediately, armored soldiers rushed out and dragged him out.

"No." Yuan Tian screamed.

Wang Min and Wang Jier were trembling, and both knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

I saw the armored soldiers pushed Yuan Tian to the ground again, and beat him again on the upper fart drum.

This time it was a little lighter than the first time, only ten hits, but still made Yuan Tian scream again and again.

After the fight, Carpenter Lin announced that because Yuan Tian had made a mistake for the second time, Yuan Tian would be expelled from the Bureau of Craftsmanship, no longer a craftsman, and would not enjoy the monthly salary.

His fertile land will only be reserved for one mu, and he will be relegated to hoarding soldiers, and he will be half trained and half farmed every year.

Five coins and three buckets of rice per month.

And they go to the workshop as soon as possible and take their personal belongings.

Carpenter Lin warned him again, you have already committed the crime twice, and if you commit the third crime, you will be expelled from Fuzhou artisan practice and sent to dig mines and build cities.

After Carpenter Lin left, Wang Jier and Wang Min helped Yuan Tian up.

Yuan Tian cried and cursed as soon as he entered the room, and said again, this damn Fuzhou should be broken by Hou Jin sooner or later.

Wang Min and Wang Jier looked at each other and comforted him non-stop.

"Now there is only one mu of land, and I have to pay [-]% of it every year, five qian silver, and three buckets of rice, which is far from before. How can I live?" Yuan Tian cried.

He was used to spending money lavishly, and he often went to the military and civilian service center to buy things for Wang Jier. After that, it was no longer enough.

After a few days of recuperation, Yuan Tian's injuries were almost recovered. One day, he cursed and told Wang Min that he would go to the workshop to get back his belongings, and at the same time hand in his previous passport.

Wang Jier had a bitter face: "How will I live in the future?"

Seeing Wang Jier's pretty face, Yuan Tian hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way."

Wang Min said: "I didn't expect the people here to be so impersonal, and you have done so many things for them anyway."

"That's right, you didn't treat me as a human being, why did you make a little mistake?" Yuan Tian scolded, "I didn't do it on purpose, it was just a momentary miss."

"What are your future plans?" Wang Min asked again.

"I don't know either. Let's stock up the land first. If it's really not possible, go to be a soldier. I heard that the food and wages of soldiers are relatively high."

"The soldiers are dangerous, what should Jier do?" Wang Min said.

Yuan Tian had a bitter face, and didn't know what to do?
Wang Min suddenly asked: "Did you have a chance to see the non-ignited gun when you went to the workshop?"

"Look, I can see it." Yuan Tian looked puzzled.

"Why don't you find a way to steal a branch and run to the north." Wang Min gritted his teeth and whispered.

"What?" Yuan Tian turned pale with shock, and his body trembled because of nervousness: "This—this——"

Wang Ji'er lightly grabbed his hand: "Brother Yuan, don't be afraid, Carpenter Lin has no way, and they will beat you again and again. I don't know how I can live on in the days to come."

"If you can steal that gun and sell it to the north, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life."

Wang Min said again: "I heard that Empress Jin pays great attention to talents and rewards for meritorious deeds. If you succeed Yuan Tian, ​​you can be named a thousand boss. Then you will be prestigious. Ji'er will marry you well. .”

Yuan Tian's face turned pale, he stuttered, and his head was dripping with sweat.

When Wang Ji'er saw it, his voice choked up: "Forget about father, Brother Yuan is also hard to do. It's my family's life, don't force Brother Yuan, let's live this hard life in the future."

"Jier." Yuan Tian held her hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I will definitely not let you suffer."

Then he walked back and forth a few times in a panic.

Wang Min kept saying: "You have to be decisive, you can leave the city immediately, but after this period of time, it may not be so."

"Brother Yuan." Wang Jier looked at him with pitiful eyes.

"Damn." Yuan Tian finally stomped his foot: "Are you really sure about getting out of the city? It's easy to steal a gun, but it's very difficult to get out of the city."

Wang Min was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "We will definitely let you leave the city."

Yuan Tian probably knew who he was in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ming people are unkind to me, so you can't blame me for being unrighteous."

"Yes, yes." Wang Jier nodded desperately.

"Will there be money and officials?" Yuan Tian asked again.

"There must be." Wang Min raised his hand: "I can swear."

"Fight." Yuan Tian quickly decided and did it.

Wang Min's father and daughter looked at each other and let out a long breath.
