Chapter 1025: Clear Division of Labor (1)
"Things like the forging, maintenance and management of weapons, these are the responsibility of our Zhang family!" Seeing that they had all taken their tasks, Old Zhang quickly asked for his own matters. Making and repairing weapons were their jobs and they couldn't let others take over.
"Can our Hu family do what you said?" Old Hu was not to be outdone and took the initiative to ask.
"What are you trying to steal from me, old man Hu? Do you think you can make weapons as well as our Zhang family?" Old Zhang glared.
"Oh! Isn't it just making weapons? All the sons of my Hu family are good materials!" Old Hu also glared and said that he could not be underestimated.
"...You don't need to argue. The new soldiers and the civilians are under your supervision. There are also people among the civilians who know how to forge things. You can take them with you to do it." Mother Ji quickly stopped the two elders and told them not to quarrel.
Once they start quarreling, there will be no end to it. Ji Xiaomu has seen through their temperaments. People say that when you get old, you become younger. The older you are, the younger you become. It is indeed true.
These two old people, who are almost a hundred years old in total, sometimes quarrel over the smallest things, which is so childish that it makes people laugh and cry.
"Listen to my wife." Mr. Zhang and Mr. Hu looked at each other, neither of them willing to give in.
"Old Zhang is in charge of the forging. Li Hong has already delivered all the black iron. An iron furnace has been built on the outskirts of Xiaohe Village, and they are preparing to produce arrowheads. If you are free, you can go and help." Ye Hanyue said to Old Zhang.
Zhang Lao's eyes lit up. It's good to have work! "Madam, don't worry. I will ask them to make a batch of the best bows and arrows, which will definitely penetrate the enemy's armor."
"Don't even think before you brag." Mr. Hu at the side snorted and said in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Mr. Zhang heard it and stared at Mr. Hu. "Say it again if you dare."
Mother Ji looked at Mr. Hu with amusement.
Mr. Hu whistled and pretended not to know.
"Old Hu, I'll leave the people to you. You are good at training soldiers, and I don't need them to know any special skills. They just need to know three or four tricks. The main thing is to train their bodies so that they won't be too scared to move when the enemy attacks." Aunt Ji said to Old Hu.
Hu Lao immediately patted his chest. "It's a small matter, leave it to me without worry. Apart from anything else, my Hu family is famous for its elite troops, and the soldiers we train can fight five at a time."
"Tsk, you're blowing too much bullshit!" Old Zhang clicked his tongue and turned his face away with a sneer.
"What did you say? If you have the guts, say it louder!" Mr. Hu looked at Mr. Zhang fiercely. Mr. Zhang hummed a little tune and looked at the sky. "Oh! The weather is really nice today."
Mother Ji was so angry that she laughed at the two old people. Fang Chen said that they used to be so majestic, so cold, and so calm... Anyway, she had never seen them at all.
I just saw two old naughty boys bickering with each other every day, so childish that it made people want to beat them up.
"Well, then I'll leave this matter to you! Just let me know if you need anything." Mother Ji said to the two elders.
Zhang thought for a moment. "There's really no need. As long as we have enough food, we can do anything."
It was rare for Mr. Hu to have the same idea as Mr. Zhang, so he nodded. "It's the same for the sons of our Hu family, as long as they have stutters!"
However, they received letters from old friends. They could not even get food in the main city and were hungry every day. They still had to hand in food. They were all asking about their whereabouts and wanted to seek refuge with them.
Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang burned the letter without saying a word. Having them was enough for the lady.
