Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

"Then Madam Wei, when do you want this thing? I will do it as soon as possible..."

Wei Qiqi raised her hand to interrupt him: "Don't worry about this yet, this is for sowing, I want you to make another one."

She handed over another drawing, and the carpenter took it and looked at it carefully.

Just this one look made his eyes widen gradually, and finally the hand holding the paper trembled. He looked up at Wei Qiqi again, and the fanaticism and obsession in his eyes was frightening.

Seeing his attitude, Wei Qiqi knew that he would definitely do this with all his heart.

"This is called a curved plow, and it's most suitable for turning over the land and reclaiming wasteland. I want you to hurry up and make it. If you don't understand something, you can always send someone to ask me, and we can discuss it."

The carpenter nodded vigorously and carefully put the drawing in his arms.

This blueprint is worth its weight in gold. The fact that Madam Wei gave it to him shows that she trusts him.

How lucky he was to have the trust of Lady Wei. If he could make these two things, he would be famous in history.

"I, Zhu Youwei, will serve Madam Wei at all times without hesitation." The carpenter knelt down and said with tears in his eyes.

He had a hard life. First, he was framed and his family was destroyed. He then took his apprentices and brothers to become bandits, but they were not valued. In order to survive, he had to endure humiliation in Jiguanshan.

I thought my whole life would just pass like this.

But I didn't expect to meet Madam Wei.

"Master Zhu, why do you have to do this? As long as you are loyal in the future, we are all brothers and sisters, and you will not be deducted a cent from your due reward."

Zhu Youwei said firmly: "No, Madam Wei."

"Madam Wei's kindness in recognizing and supporting Zhu Youwei is like rebirth to the world. This kindness is indelible."

He was only in his thirties, but he had been worn down by life, with wrinkles all over his eyes and forehead, and he looked like a man in his forties or fifties.

Seeing that he was so insistent, Wei Qiqi didn't force him and had to agree: "I know, get up quickly."

After Zhu Youwei stood up, Wei Qiqi reminded him again: "This batch of things is a bit urgent, we have to sow them before the end of spring."

"Thank you, Master Zhu."

Zhu Youwei made a guarantee, saying that if he was given five days, he could make the curved plow.

Wei Qiqi smiled faintly.

After leaving the carpenters and bricklayers, Wei Qiqi returned to the yard. She had summoned the communications soldier in the afternoon, so when she came back, there were about fifty people standing in the yard.

"Madam Wei."

The communications officer came forward and saluted Wei Qiqi, then pointed at the people behind him and said, "These are the selected communications soldiers."

At a glance, because of the previous unified training, the discipline was still remembered, and these people stood in the middle of the yard in an orderly manner.

Ye Yuanxin handed Wei Qiqi a handkerchief and said, "Master, I have done what you asked me to do before you left."

Before she left, she asked Ye Yuanxin to prepare a flat wooden board and place it at the entrance of the yard.

Wei Qiqi looked in the direction Ye Yuanxin had directed, and sure enough, it was there.

"Everyone, my name is Wei Qiqi. From now on, I will be directly responsible for the training of your communications soldiers."

She spoke in a loud voice, no longer as soft as before, but with clarity and unquestionable tone from the moment she spoke.

These people were standing in a large crowd. Wei Qiqi saw that they were not in a regular group and asked them to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Wei Qiqi hung the wooden board on the wall, ready to use it for writing later.

She stared at everyone, using the same momentum as when her teacher taught them in high school.

"I think some of you are proud and some are disdainful of being chosen as communications soldiers." When he said this, the people below had different expressions, but no one had any objections.

"I won't talk about anything else today. I just want to tell you how important signal soldiers are on the battlefield and in daily life."

"A signalman, as the name suggests, is a soldier who delivers important letters and messages. This is a very important position.

In the future, I will arrange for you to learn to read and recognize words, train your running speed, and train your ability to react to various situations.

None of you should miss out on the training of more than a thousand people. Having an extra skill won’t do you any harm.”

Wei Qiqi thought about it for a few days and then discussed the position with these people in detail.

"What I have set for you now is daily training, learning to read and write, practicing whistles, the use of flags, and riding horses. You must master these and use them skillfully."

"Don't worry about the later plans for now. If my stuff isn't made, you can't use it."

After the people in the audience listened, there was a brief silence before a buzz of discussion. After a while, someone asked, "I understand the rest, but why are you practicing whistling?"

"First of all, the fact that you asked questions shows that you listened to me carefully, which is commendable. If you have any doubts or questions like him, you can ask directly, and I will answer them. After you understand, you will understand the signal soldiers better."

"If you practice whistling well, its sound will be very penetrating. Even if you don't say anything at a critical moment, you can let everyone know what you mean. And it can also confuse the enemy. This can be used as an alternative way to spread information, just like a flag."

After getting the answer, the man stopped asking questions and one could only see his blushing face from his earlobe which was about to bleed.

Wei Qiqi smiled and then continued.

"You can't practice riding horses yet. Your focus now should be on learning to read and training."

"Well... we are all people who can read a little..."

Another person stammered that they were chosen because they knew one or two words, which was particularly rare.

"Yes, but that's not enough. I want you to learn another language. This is how we will spread news on the battlefield."

After that, he didn’t explain any further.

"Do you still have any questions?"

The people below were completely silent.

"Okay, then, starting today, you must learn and remember the following contents. I will test you later, and those who fail will be in great pain."

Wei Qiqi smiled slightly and started her class.

After teaching for an entire afternoon, her throat was almost smoking by the time everyone left.

Ye Yuanxin on the side quickly handed her the warm water, asked her to sit down and massaged her shoulders.

"Master, are you going to keep teaching for this long in the future?"

Ye Yuanxin's voice sounded somewhat distressed.

"That's about right. I have to teach them until they master the language."

Wei Qiqi turned her neck and head. The continuous classes and standing made her a little tired.

He taught like this for three consecutive days. After finishing the third day's content, Ye Yuanxin could no longer bear it.

“Master, how about you teach me someone in the future, and I’ll teach them, wouldn’t it be a lot easier for you?”

Wei Qiqi looked at Ye Yuanxin in surprise, and after hesitating for two seconds, he answered: "That will definitely be much easier. Teaching one person is different from teaching fifty people."

Ye Yuanxin grabbed Wei Qiqi's hand and said, "You have to go to the fields to watch them open up the wasteland in the morning, go to the carpenters to watch what they are doing at noon, and have classes in the afternoon. It's too hard.

Master, please teach me, and I will teach them."
