The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 343 Forging

Xiao Yihan narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.

On the contrary, Liu Yuanhai, who had been holding the knife all the time, was startled. Before he could speak, he saw someone outside the door. He carried a pair of purple flower armor usually equipped by frontier soldiers, and placed it at the door ten feet away from Xiao Jingyu.

The people in the room didn't know what they meant, and Xiao Jingyu didn't explain. The wrist holding the knife turned from bottom to top, and the back blade drew a large half-circle in the air, and rushed towards the iron helmet to pick it.

Everywhere at the tip of the knife, tiny sparks burst out.The sound of metal being cut tore everyone's eardrums, and the purple flower armor fell to the ground.When the fish scales scattered, the feathers on the top of the iron helmet flew out of the door.

"really."

Seemingly proving that the knife is as sharp as he judged, Xiao Jingyu nodded, and when he looked up and down the counter blade, the shadow of the knife swept across Xie Bi's head again:

"If the enemy's army wears this saber, my Da Zhou's Ming Jia and cloth face armor may be hard to resist.

However, I remember that a few days ago, Feng Xingyu handed over a thousand Japanese knives and arquebus guns from the Japanese pirates. knife compared.

In recent years, most of the swords and swords brought into the Zhou Dynasty by the Japanese privately are of ordinary quality. What is the reason for this, what is the Taifu's opinion? "

Xie Bi Shili calmly replied:

"Knife is good or bad, but skill is clumsy. The rich Japanese will make it at a high price, and spread it to high teachers to learn it; the poor can't handle the ear of the inferior knife. Those who are good at handling the knife are fearful in charge. It's quite limited. People in Dazhou don't know it, so they look forward to it and avoid it. If you capture a Japanese sword, you can't tell the difference, mix it with the soldiers, so you will."

"I see."

After hearing what Xie Bi said, Xiao Jingyu thought for a moment.

Then he stared at the long knife with his sharp eyes, and he and Xiao Yihan were like brothers of ordinary people, and they talked about things:

"But I do recognize this knife. It's something that my second child treasured all his life. The man used that token and this thing to frame the Fifth Emperor's younger brother Tongwo, because he was looking at me and lacked knowledge."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jingyu slightly bent his arms, drew a long knife in the air and stood in front of him again.

Xiao Yihan slightly opened the corners of his lips, and his eyes were darkened:
"Brother Huang always likes to joke with his younger brother. The whole world in Dazhou belongs to Brother Huang. Who dares to say that Brother Huang is ignorant? It's just a two-handed knife, so what's so special about it?"

"District?"

Xiao Jingyu chuckled twice, then looked at King Zheng Xiao Zheen:

"You don't know, back then your second brother was made the Queen of Jin and was sent by the emperor to station troops in Taiyuan Town. In order to ask for this thing, your third brother didn't even do it for Prince Xiaoyao. He cried and shouted and wanted to do it for him. Cyprus.

Father Huang Longyan was furious, and said that there is no joke in the king, let alone in the army!Not only did they drive your third brother to the Ministry of Industry, but they also beat the two of them with [-] army sticks each.I heard that your second brother was still carried into the carriage and went all the way to Taiyuan Town on his stomach. "

Xiao Jingyu joked about the young man's reckless anecdote.

Xiao Yihan couldn't help laughing out loud: "I have heard about it, and I thought it was just a rumor from the army before, but I didn't expect it to be true."

The atmosphere in the wooden house eased a little, but Xiao Zhe'en, who was one of the parties involved, couldn't laugh.

Brothers get along with each other vividly in the past, but now it is forever.

He lowered his head even lower, and heard Xiao Jingyu change the subject:
"I thought I would find this saber when I searched the Prince Jin's mansion, but I didn't expect that there was not even a shadow of it when I dug three feet into the ground.

If Duke Ding Lu Yunlie hadn't written a letter to ask me for military pay, saying that King Yu wears a precious sword but the cost is high, I hope I can also equip it for the soldiers on the border.I still don't know that the saber that my second child treasured for a lifetime was originally given to you."

Xiao Jingyu paused for a short while, his cold and resolute jaw was reflected on the blade, and the look of loneliness in his eyes was fleeting:
"...It shows that he has a deep affection for his compatriots."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on the corner of Xiao Yihan's mouth disappeared.

It's not just because of mentioning that King Jin was cut down and the palace was copied.

It was because of this long knife that he had exchanged the wolf king bone knife with others in the Colosseum of Danba Qibu.

I didn't want to show up here today, and it would become an excuse for Xiao Jingyu to attack him.

After Xiao Jingyu finished speaking, he ignored the sullen look in Xiao Yihan's eyes, and handed the knife to Xiao Zheen:
"Third brother, you have been in the Ministry of Industry for many years, why don't you tell me what is so good about this knife? It makes you so fond of it."

"My brother obeys the order."

Xiao Zheen received the saber with a salute, straightened his body slightly and said:

"Let's not mention the gorgeous decorations. The back of this knife is only about two cents wide. It rests on your fingers without any qi (qi) tilting. It is different from the steel used to forge swords and swords in Da Zhou. It is actually covered with steel."

After he finished speaking, he flicked his fingers, and the fingers and blades collided, his voice was clear and sweet.

Xiao Jingyu didn't want to hear him point out the difference between the two, so he simply asked: "Is it possible to forge in large quantities, and what is the cost of forging?"

Xiao Zhe'en respectfully handed the knife to Liu Yuanhai, the head of internal supervision, and lowered his eyes and said:

"The Japanese sword is covered with steel and covered with soil, and the blade can be bent by quenching, but this process requires extremely high skill, and luck is involved in the successful forging. If there is a slight mistake, the blade will be deformed and shattered. The early forging It is also a waste of previous efforts, and it is not impossible to save one out of a hundred. As for the cost, according to my brother, compared with ordinary waist knives, it is at least ten times higher, and as much as a hundred times."

Seeing the fish scales all over the floor being picked up by the inner prisoner, Xie Bi raised his eyes accordingly:

"His Royal Highness Zheng Wang said so, ten times, or a hundred times, the cost is inestimable?"

Xiao Jingyu didn't speak, which was a tacit consent to Xie Bi's question.

Xiao Zhe'en paused for a while and then returned to calmness: "That's not true."

"Oh? Come and listen to me."

Xiao Zheen thought for a moment, but then refused:
"It's just that my younger brother has not been in charge of the Ministry of Industry since the fifth year of Jingde. At that time, various types of weapons were forged according to different specifications and had different costs, and there were also gaps in the Taoist book. It has been a long time, and my younger brother has practiced for many years. Stop talking nonsense here. If Brother Huang has such thoughts, why don’t you call the people from the Ministry of Industry and Household Department to discuss it together.”

Xiao Zheen has already said enough about this two-handed long knife.

What's more, he has escaped into Buddhism, since he can even let go of power and love, he shouldn't be so attached to this bloodthirsty sword.

"That's right."

Xiao Jingyu didn't force it, and raised his hand to signal Liu Yuanhai: "I pass on my oral order, Wang Yiquan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Propaganda, and Yao Tingan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, are here to discuss matters."

Then he turned his head to look at Xie Bi:
"Teacher doesn't have to worry about this matter. The cost of waist knives according to various regulations is clearly recorded in the account books handed over by the Armament Bureau of the Ministry of Industry over the years. No matter ten times or a hundred times, if you can really forge excellent knives and guns, you will be proud of me in the end. Zhou Junwei, the errands of the Ministry of War are also easier to do, right?"

"What the Holy Majesty said is very true." Xie Bi bowed his head respectfully.

Xiao Jingyu waved his hands, looked up at the case in front of him with plain rosewood face, and looked indifferently at the closing statement presented by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The gazes of Xiao Yihan and Xie Bi also followed without a trace.

It's just that the expected anger didn't happen, Xiao Jingyu pressed his head with one hand, looking quite tired: "Put aside the other ones in advance, pass on the meal."

As soon as the words fell, a sound of horseshoes outside the courtyard shattered the darkness.

Liu Yuanhai trotted, presented the imperial hospital's report to Xiao Jingyu, and reported tremblingly: "Holy, Holy One, report from the southern suburbs of the city, Hao Dashan, the envoy of the imperial hospital. He, he"

"What happened to him?" Xiao Jingyu was quite displeased.

"He's got the big head plague."
