Legendary Armament Canon Chapter 1: Shen Soldiers Map
Zhou Shu looked at the surrounding environment, and the whole person was in a state of daze.
Transcended?
This idea is a bit nonsensical, and Zhou Shu himself can't believe it.
But facts speak louder than words. He really can't think of anyone who would make such a joke on him except for time travel.
He obviously slept in his luxurious 20-square-meter bedroom last night, but woke up in such a dilapidated farmyard. If someone joked with him, the cost would be too great.
Having said that, in the city now, it is impossible to find such a dilapidated courtyard...
My bedroom is bigger than this whole yard!
Zhou Shu complained silently, and suddenly a messy memory flew roughly into his mind.
The sudden encounter made Zhou Shu groan miserably and squat down with his head in his hands.
After a long time, the pain in his head gradually dissipated, and his eyes regained clarity.
Da Xia...The Division of Soldiers...
Zhou Shu browsed the memories that emerged in his mind and had a general understanding of his own situation.
This body, also named Zhou Shu, just turned 18 this year, and three generations of ancestors were craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry's Foundry Division, responsible for casting weapons.
The predecessor's grandfather and father both died early due to overwork, so the predecessor just turned eighteen, he inherited his father's business and became an apprentice of the Casting Division. Zhou Shu, the transmigrator.
"Forging soldiers...isn't it just forging iron?"
Zhou Shu looked at his life environment while browsing his memories.
The small courtyard where he is now is the residence provided by the Ministry of Industry and Military Foundry Division for craftsmen. Even though three generations of his family's ancestors have been staff members of public institutions directly under the state ministries and commissions, but in this Great Xia Imperial Capital, there are also Didn't get a house.
Before the death of the former parents, in order to cure the disease, they exhausted their savings.
In other words, this small courtyard is now the only place for this body to settle down.
At least there is a place to stand, so as not to live on the streets...
Zhou Shu thought to himself comfortably.
It is not easy to live in the capital...
Having a dormitory is already pretty good.
This yard, in total, is 20 square meters. In addition to a simple bedroom, there is a shed in one corner of the yard. The shed looks like a blacksmith shop. That is the guy who used to eat.
A place to work and sleep together, this cast soldier is also a place to eat people without spitting bones.
"Sure enough, as the bottom layer, there are leeks to be cut everywhere."
Zhou Shu sighed in his heart.
Actually, the salary of the Casting Division is not bad. Even the lowest-level apprentices like Zhou Shu are still in charge of food and housing, and there is a monthly salary of half a tael of silver every month.
But I can't stand the intensity of this work.
Taking Zhou Shu's current situation as an example, the Foundry Division requires them to hand in 100 weapons every month, which means that he needs to forge at least three weapons per day to complete the task. Otherwise, what awaits him is whipping punishment.
His predecessor had a family background, and he had been involved with casting soldiers since he was a child. Even so, it would take him two or three hours to cast a weapon.
To cast three weapons, it would take seven or eight hours. This is still under the condition that everything goes well.
In fact, the success rate of casting soldiers can't be 100%. Once he fails, he has to start all over again, so his daily working time is almost eight hours!
In other words, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, he has to work all the time in order to barely complete the task.
With this kind of work intensity, it is not surprising that the predecessor would be exhausted to death.
"Are you going to be exhausted just after crossing over?"
Zhou Shu wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt that he would not survive for a month.
"If you want to survive, it seems that you have to find a way to become an official soldier."
Zhou Shu thought to himself.
He signed a contract with the Casting Division, and it was impossible to leave, but the Casting Division also had its own promotion path.
He is now a soldier casting apprentice, which belongs to the lowest level of work, similar to a handyman. Above the soldier casting apprentice, he is the official soldier casting division.
The forging division is already a technician of the forging division, and the treatment is very different from that of the apprentice.
They can have real residences, the kind with kitchens and toilets, and their salaries are several times that of the apprentices. Most importantly, their work intensity is not as great as that of apprentices.
For the forge division, as long as thirty weapons are handed in every month, the task is completed.
On top of the forging divisions, there are senior divisions, who are the core talents of the division. Every senior division is the fortune of the division, and their treatment is better than that of the division. The forge division is much higher.
Above the senior soldier casting division, there are also master craftsmen. If the senior soldier casting division is the wealth of the soldier casting division, then the master craftsman is the treasure of the soldier casting division.
It is no exaggeration that every master craftsman is a national treasure.
In terms of status, a master craftsman can almost be equal to the Langzhong of the Zhubing Division. The Langzhong of the Zhubing Division is an official position from the fifth rank and placed in Zhou Shu's previous life, which is equivalent to the deputy department and bureau level. Deputy mayor one level.
In fact, even the boss of the Casting Division should respect the master craftsman.
Above the master craftsman, there seems to be a more powerful forge division, which is not the information that Zhou Shu's predecessor can access.
If you can become a soldier, the future is very bright, but it is not so easy to become a soldier.
The three generations of Zhou Shu's predecessors were all apprentices of the Army Casting Division. Up to the time of their predecessors, they also failed to become soldiers. This shows the difficulty.
If you want to become a soldier, the condition is actually very simple, that is, the weapon that can be cast in and out!
The weapons in this world~IndoMTL.com~ are divided into Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang Si, etc. The weapons cast by apprentices like Zhou Shu are standard weapons and do not enter the grade.
The secret recipes for casting high-quality weapons are all in the hands of the forging masters, which have always been kept secret. Zhou Shu has no mentorship, and it is almost impossible to become a military forging division.
In fact, among the tens of thousands of apprentices of the Army Casting Division, none of them can be promoted to the forging division.
"Is it possible, do you really want to be trapped here?"
Zhou Shu picked up a standard long knife forged by the predecessor and looked at it. He knew nothing about blacksmithing, and he had no clue what was the difference between a standard weapon and a finished weapon.
"What should I do?"
He thought hard, trying to come up with a solution from the memory of his previous life.
Suddenly, there was a flower in front of his eyes, and he saw a brilliant golden light. In a slight dizziness, a booklet with a blue cover appeared in front of him.
On the cover of the booklet were a few quaint big characters, and Zhou Shu knew what they meant when he saw them for the first time.
The map of magic soldiers!
"Crash-"
The booklet with the blue cover turned without wind. I don't know how many pages I turned, and finally stopped.
Zhou Shu's eyes fell on the writing, and he saw a graphic of a long knife drawn on the writing. It looked exactly the same as the standard long knife in his hand. The graphic was drawn so delicately that it looked like a real thing.
On the top of the long knife, there is a line of ancient characters.
"Sharp standard long knife"!
Just when Zhou Shu saw the small print clearly, a piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
The casting method of the standard long sword!
Zhou Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and there is a solution to the current predicament!
