Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 111: A fairy was born!Fool Li Shimin!
These words are belittling people.

Ordinary people would definitely be angry, but Shen Lian was extremely calm.

Lived in the dark for a long time.

I don't care about my identity and other people's evaluation on the bright side.

But for him.

On the surface, his status is low, and he is not noticed by others, so he is more suitable to do many things.

The person involved was very calm, but Li Junxian couldn't stand it anymore.

He cupped his hands and said, "Pushe, the eldest grandson, the last general who broke the knife has nothing to do with Coach Shen."

"It's normal for the saber to break during the sparring session. It just means...the last general's saber isn't as good as Coach Shen's saber."

Even Li Junxian said so, and Changsun Wuji and the three had no choice but to return in resentment.

"May I borrow the saber in Coach Shen's hand?"

At this time, Li Shimin seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help asking.

His eyes fell on the Xiuchun knife in Shen Lian's hand, and his intuition told him that something was wrong with this knife.

"Your Majesty wants to see, that's naturally no problem."

Shen Lian was very straightforward, and presented the Xiuchun knife in his hand to Li Shimin.

Li Junxian, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui also surrounded him.

Eyes wide open.

Look carefully.

They seem to have never seen such a style of knife.

It seems to be about the same length as Tang Hengdao, but they can all be sure that this is definitely not Tang Hengdao! !
Li Shimin frowned, he gently grasped the handle of the knife, and felt it with his heart.

In fact, Xiuchun Dao and Tang Dao are a little different.

However, these two kinds of knives can be said to be of the same strain.

Xiuchun Dao and Tang Dao are both long and narrow.

It's just that the blade of Xiuchun Dao is slightly curved, and the blade is also slightly wider.

As for Tang Hengdao, the blade is straight like a sword, with a slanted tip and a narrow blade.

Undoubtedly, Tang Hengdao is the most dazzling famous sword in Tang Dynasty! !
However, because of its short handle, it is generally suitable for holding with one hand. It is very light, and it is also somewhat elegant. It performs very well in slashing and stabbing in close combat.

As for the Xiuchun Knife, by visual inspection, it is about one meter long, with a longer handle and a curved body, which allows people to recognize it as a knife at a glance, while the Tang Knife is not the case. Whether it's a knife or a sword.

As the official sword of later generations, the Xiuchun Dao is not allowed to be held by the people, which is also very different from the Tang Dao.

In particular, because of its long handle, it is suitable for both one-handed and two-handed holding, and it performs equally well in melee slashing and stabbing.

With a knife in both hands, if you gather enough strength to cut it down with one knife, you can cut off a whole horse's head! !
Just now, Cheng Yaojin was holding the saber with both hands, and with a sudden impact, the Tang saber broke.

Of course, the most important reason is that the material used in this Xiuchun Knife far exceeds Li Junxian's Tang Knife.

Li Shimin gently scratched the blade with his finger.

Accidentally, a hole appeared directly.

"His Majesty!!!"

Li Junxian hurriedly shouted in panic.

But at the same time, he was also amazed at the sharpness of the Xiuchun knife, which was far superior to his own knife.

"It's okay."

For Li Shimin, this small injury was not worth mentioning in his military career, so he waved his hand indifferently, then Yun sucked his fingers, held the knife in one hand, and swung it vigorously several times.

"Good knife, good knife!!"

"This knife seems to have absorbed Tang Hengdao's strengths, and has increased the length of cutting!!"

"However, this is not the main reason why Li Junxian was cut off."

"The most important thing is that this knife is forged from fine steel whose quality is far superior to that of Datang. The material is tight and tough, and it is not easy to break."

Li Shimin's eyes were shocked.

Holding this knife, he couldn't put it down.

Although he has become emperor, it has only been a few years. In his bones, he still has the shadow of King Qin who used to fight with horses and horses. How can he not love such weapons? !

"Your Majesty, let Rong Chen take a look."

Changsun Wuji's eyes were filled with longing.

Li Shimin glanced at it, then handed out the Xiuchun knife.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly took the Xiuchun knife over. His eldest grandson's family is a steelmaker.

At present, almost half of the weapons used by the Tang army come from his eldest grandson's family.

And Li Junxian's saber was made by Li Shimin at his request.

But now, something like this happened! !
Changsun Wuji was anxious.

He carefully looked at the Xiuchun knife, and then gently pinched the handle with two fingers, the blade hung down, and flicked it vigorously with the other hand.

ding~~~
A clear and long voice resounded in everyone's ears.

The others didn't speak, but looked at the serious Changsun Wuji.

Everyone knows that Changsun Wuji is an absolute expert in iron making.

"This, hiss!!!"

When the voice gradually disappeared, Changsun Wuji couldn't help taking a deep breath.

"This knife, who made this knife? This steelmaking technology can be said to be far superior to our Tang Dynasty's steelmaking skills!!"

Changsun Wuji's eyes widened and his voice was horrified.

immediately.

He looked at Shen Lian next to him, and couldn't help asking again: "Dare to ask... Dare to ask Coach Shen, is this knife made by the Chu Palace?!"

Although I was sure that it was almost the same, I still didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

"This……."

Shen Lian touched his chin hesitantly, sighed for a while and said, "I'm sorry, eldest grandson Pushe, Shen can't tell you the specific situation without the Taoist priest's permission."

Changsun Wuji sighed suddenly, feeling a little regretful.

at the same time.

Li Shimin next to him frowned.

In Datang, the main force of steel is all in the official camp.

The official camp represents the most advanced technology in steelmaking and ironmaking.

The folks can't surpass it at all.

Most of the folks are small iron shops or something, which can't make a difference.

after all.

The best craftsmen are all serving the government.

This official camp,
He, Li Shimin, is firmly in his own hands. He can reduce the funds for everything, but the official business is absolutely not good. Even if Datang is poor, he must maintain the supply of funds. The surname Qiwang can't even match it, and it's the technology that the real royal family dominates.

Among them, the steelmaking business of Changsun's family was specially approved by Li Shimin. In fact, it was declared to be an official operation, but it was equivalent to "outsourcing".

However, now he suddenly discovered that the steelmaking technology he had always been proud of had been pushed to the ground and beaten! !

Wei Zheng took the Xiuchun knife, found a branch, scratched it lightly, and the branch broke immediately.

"Oh my God!!"

"This knife is so sharp!!"

Wei Zheng was also completely dumbfounded at this time.

This... is really scary! !
"This knife is the best weapon that the general has ever seen in his life, bar none!!"

Li Junxian stared at Xiuchun Knife, his voice was a little excited, and said: "Your Majesty, if I, Datang, can equip such a knife, my combat power... will definitely increase by [-] to [-]%. Don't be afraid!!"

"Their armor, under this knife, will be like tofu!!"

Li Junxian knew exactly what kind of changes it would bring if this knife could be equipped in the army on a large scale.

It's like the competition between myself and Shen Lian just now.

Is Shen Lian really that strong?there is! !

However, Li Junxian is not bad either.

To be able to fight with Li Shimin so far, and to protect the personal safety of Empress Changsun, and to be entrusted by Empress Changsun with a heavy responsibility to protect Xiao Sizi, how can he be an ordinary person who has won the trust of the royal family? !
however.

Even so, Shen Lian was defeated by one move.

His weapon just now was cut off extremely easily.

There was no weapon, but Shen Lian held one.

This battle can be said to have no suspense! !
So he lost.

One move loses.

Li Shimin's eyes flickered, he looked at Changsun Wuji, and said unwillingly: "Now, my Tang Dynasty really can't make such a precious sword?!"

"Can't make it."

Changsun Wuji shook his head, very determined, and sighed: "Your Majesty, you have to tie the bell to untie the bell. If you really want to know the knife-making technology, I'm afraid you have to ask..."

Speaking of which, it stopped abruptly.

His eyes were on Shen Lian to the side.

Li Shimin and the others instantly understood Changsun Wuji's meaning.

I have to ask Shen Lian, but if Shen Lian doesn't say anything, what can I do? !

And right now.

The old man came over and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Xiao Si, and everyone, the food is ready, please go and enjoy it with the old man."

Li Shimin took the Xiuchun Knife from Changsun Wuji, waved it at the old man with a smile, and said, "Okay!"

"By the way, I have a problem with one thing. I don't know, old man, can you tell me, who made this knife...?"

The old man was slightly taken aback, but when he saw the Xiuchun knife in Li Shimin's hand, he immediately understood whose saber it was.

"It turns out that it is His Majesty who discovered that the Chu Palace has extraordinary swords."

"This knife..."

The old man thought for a while, and then continued: "It was His Highness who took out the blueprints and built it himself."

"In the past, Shen Lian and the others used Tang Hengdao as their sabers, but not long ago, for a while, His Highness got the blueprint of this saber from nowhere. Compared with the blueprint, this saber is stronger than Tang Hengdao. , His Highness simply designed one himself, and then built it with his own hands."

"After the first knife came out, it was a complete victory against Tang Hengdao. Therefore, the Chu Palace's large-scale refining of this knife has caught up with the schedule."

"And if I remember correctly, the first knife His Highness made was given to Shen Lian, that is... the knife in your hand, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, how about the knife made by His Highness himself?!"

The old man asked very sincerely.

what! !

Built by the King of Chu! !
stunned! !
Shock! !
Can't believe it! !
Hearing this, Li Shimin stared at the Xiuchun knife in his hand with wide eyes, and felt a tendon jumping on his forehead.

Be crazy to jump! !

Pulling his ears, and eyes are shaking! !
A knife forged by the King of Chu himself.

This brat can still strike iron! !

Holy shit! !
this... this this...
What else, he can't! !

Grain, sweet potato seeds, poetry, ice making...
Too many unexpected.

And now, there's another strike! !

Li Shimin:? ? ?

This is so special.

What kind of god did I give birth to?

Li Shimin's mouth twitched on the spot.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others behind him were also stunned.

Several of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

This answer... is too shocking.

How old is the king of Chu? I heard that he is still weak. At that time, he almost lost the fight with Li Tai. Can he handle a hammer? !
But...they're numb.

I actually think this answer is somewhat reasonable.

after all.

Anyway, making ice in the summer, and those crystal clear glazes, are always more shocking than this blacksmithing.

They really have never heard of the first two, but the work of forging iron and knives has been passed down for an unknown number of years, so it is easier for people to accept.

even so.

Still very shocking.

This steelmaking method surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty.

Oh my God! !
I really don't know how His Royal Highness King Chu did the research.

To know.

If these things can be improved a little bit, they are all refined by countless craftsmen from countless experiences.

"Huh, my Li family is really famous for being a genius."

Li Shimin exhaled, he put the Xiuchun knife into its sheath, turned it upside down in his hand, and said boldly: "Good knife, magic knife!!"

"Just now, Li Junxian's saber was severed by this saber in just one blow."

"Old man, I don't know, what is this knife called?!"

Li Shimin was extremely curious.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Highness bestowed the name Xiuchun Knife."

The old man said respectfully.

Xiuchun knife? !
The corners of Li Shimin's eyes trembled slightly.

"Good name, this knife, dare to ask the old man, Kuaner, how did he temper it, so that the craftsmanship of this knife can far exceed the current fine steel of Datang."

Li Shimin asked with a smile.

The eldest grandson Wuji on the side immediately locked his eyes on the old man, and his breathing slowed down unconsciously.

For fear of missing a word!

"Your Majesty, it's actually not the same as ordinary iron smelting."

"It's just a stove, a craftsman, and His Highness will direct the supervisors all the way."

"At that time, many people in the Chu Palace also watched. The process was very simple, but His Highness said that certain ratios were different from the current steelmaking in the Tang Dynasty."

"He added something else to this knife. As for what it is, I don't know."

The old man prevaricates indiscriminately.

Some things can be explained clearly, and some things cannot be explained clearly, and he still understands this.

Similar to those making ice, it's easy to do and costs nothing, so make that clear.

And Xiuchun Dao,

The old man remembered that there were some things that only His Royal Highness could produce, which were irreplaceable, and they couldn't make them without those things, so of course they couldn't make it too clear.

"So that's the case, then dare to ask the old man, is there a lot of this knife in the Chu Palace?!"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered.

The old man shook his head and replied: "Not many, only a dozen or so. It took a very long time to refine this knife."

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Li Shimin that all members of the Jinyiwei in Chu Palace were equipped with Xiuchun knives.

Can't even say.

In other places, there are also Modao equipped by the Modao team.

Speaking out these estimates can scare the other party to death.

"That's right, thinking about it, if such a terrifying saber can be mass-produced, it would be too terrifying."

Li Shimin sighed a little.

immediately.

He returned the knife to Shen Lian and ignored it.

"Let's go, eat, my little one is in a hurry, I can't wait any longer."

Everything, we will wait until this kid comes back.

just now.

Li Shimin was looking forward to it. Li Yan could find the King of Chu in Chuhe Village and bring him back as soon as possible. He had to take care of this son who had been neglected before! !
