Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 166... ​​How can you be so unpatriotic? (third change)
I just feel that since the brittleness increases, it can only be supplemented by other aspects, such as thickening and widening.

So, there was the Da Song hand knife in front of Gao Zhang's eyes, which was so cute that he couldn't help but think of the stupid and cute appearance of his junior brother Cai Laoliu.

After explaining this, the old craftsman raised his chin and put on an arrogant expression.

"...However, using this kind of coke delivered by the rich housekeeper, the hand knife made is by no means comparable to what it used to be."

"If the champion doesn't believe it, you can try it with the hand knife issued by the imperial court for the army."

"Who has a hand knife?" Gao Zhang turned his head and asked.

The Gao family around him shook their heads in unison, and even Fu An shyly pointed at his waist.

"My lord, the villain also uses the Xia Guodao."

Gao Zhang looked around at those Gao family members who shyly expressed that they were not willing to use the stupid and cute swords of the Song Dynasty, and immediately became furious.

"...you, how can you be so unpatriotic?"

Facing the young master's anger, Fu An, who was the young master's confidant and followed the leader, shrank his neck and couldn't help pleading in a low voice.

"My lord, that thing is really hard to use, it's ugly and heavy, and it's not pretty..."

"That's right, young master, it's no wonder you guys, but the villain heard from the master that even the sabers used by the officials are also belongings of the Xia Kingdom."

"???" Gao Zhang turned his head to look at Fukang with a confused face.

Beverly nodded cautiously with a flattering smile, implying that he wasn't lying.

Gao Zhang was speechless directly, and he looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, "Come on, let's go, the emperor is in power, the court is full of traitors, and there are very few patriotic people."

What's more, even the standard weapons distributed to the national army are so inferior, who would love them?
At this time, another old craftsman finally brought the finished product he made with a look of disgust.

"My lord, it's fine. We have it here. This is a hand knife made of coal..."

Without Gao Zhang opening his mouth, Fu An rushed forward, took the knife, and handed it to Lu Qian.

Then he himself picked up the hand knife made of charcoal, and grinned at Lu Qian, who had a black face.

"Brother Lu, come, come, let's make a gesture for my young master."

"...Lu feels that this one is not very good, how about giving me yours?"

"Brother Lu, stop making trouble, try the knife quickly, my son is watching." How could Fu An change.

In the end, the dark-faced Lu Yuhou slashed viciously with his knife, and Fu An gave a strange cry, and slashed back with his knife.

Gao Zhang and the others who were standing not far away heard the ear-piercing sound, and seemed to see sparks flashing in their eyes.

After that, I saw Lu Yuhou looking at his hand knife with a disappointed face, and a piece of the knife broke off directly.

As for the hand knife in Fu An's hand, there was also a piece missing from the edge of the knife, but it was only a little bigger than a grain of rice.

Comparing the two phases directly distinguishes the superiority from the inferiority.

This time, not only Lu Qian was not happy, but the old craftsman who gave him the hand knife he forged with coal as fuel also raised his voice in dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Zhuangyuan, it's not the villain's fault. It's not that the villain's skills are not good. It's really a hand knife made of coal. It just doesn't work."

"No wonder, no wonder..." Gao Zhang retrieved the hand knife from Lu Qian's hand, looked at the flawed and beautiful knife, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"I don't know if you can use this coke to forge a sword comparable to this Xia Guodao?"

Seeing these old craftsmen looking at each other hesitantly, Gao Zhang directly gave them a chicken blood injection.

"You old men, if you can forge a Xia Guodao, you will be rewarded with fifty guan."

"What's so difficult about this?" The eyes of these old craftsmen lit up, their heads held high and their chests upright, full of confidence.

With this kind of coke as fuel, high-quality steel can be smelted, and if the weapons produced are not as good as Xia Guo's knives and swords, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the famous craftsmen of the Song Dynasty?

#####
As soon as Gao Qiu returned to the mansion, he was dragged by the enthusiastic Gao Zhang to see good things.

It is heard that Gao Zhang finally used the coke to temper high-quality steel, and also made utensils for his father to judge.

Naturally, Gao Qiu came to Gao Zhang's yard without praising his son.

Gao Qiu looked at the two hand knives and the two Xia Guo knives placed on the table, and couldn't help laughing.

"Zhang'er, did you buy the Xia Guodao specially for comparison?"

"No, no, dad, this is made by our workshop craftsmen."

Hearing Gao Zhang's words, Gao Qiu was stunned, but Fukang at the side also said that the young master was not talking nonsense, this was indeed made by the craftsmen in our newly established workshop.

Hearing this, Gao Qiu picked up one of the handles and pulled out the knife from its sheath.

Looking at the looming pattern on the blade of the knife, he raised his hand and pulled a hair from his temple.

Hanging and blowing towards the blade, I couldn't help being amazed when I saw the hair on the blade was cut off on the spot.

"Fu'an, where did you find such a skilled craftsman, to be able to make such a weapon that is no less than that of Xi Xia."

As a lover and collector of cold weapons, Gao Taiwei has a great appreciation for weapons.

Naturally, it can be seen that this Xia Guo Dao-style Gaojia Dao is absolutely no worse than the Xia Guo Dao exported from Xixia, regardless of its material or sharpness.

"My lord, the villain is an old craftsman dug from the workshop of the outer court.

In fact, the reason why weapons of this quality can be forged is mainly due to the coke refined by that Xue Da. "

"It is even more thanks to the young master's whimsical idea, using that kind of coke to smelt and forge, that there is a weapon that is no less than Xixia.

Even the standard hand knife of our Song Dynasty, after being forged with this kind of coke, the quality has improved by more than one level. "

Gao Qiu glanced at Gao Zhang in front of him with a face full of surprise, and picked up the Da Song style hand knife that he had never noticed.

After pulling out the knife, Gao Zhang felt it carefully in his hand, and Gao Zhang tilted his head.

Fu An hurriedly handed over a Dasong-style hand knife that he specially asked for, so that the master could compare it carefully.

#####
After trying those weapons, Gao Qiu finally saw the scorched charcoal that was called a treasure by his own son before, but he didn't care about it.

Feeling the hard and thorny hard surface, looking at its material that seems to have pores.

"This is the charcoal you mentioned, Zhang'er. Why does Dad think it is similar to charcoal?"

"Father really has insight, you are right, charcoal is made of wood, and this coke is made of coal."

"The difference in the process is not very big. What is important is that after it is turned into coke, many impurities in the coal that are harmful to steel have disappeared.

It is precisely because of this that our workshop can create such first-class weapons. "
