Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 363 Cut corners
In order to keep the secret better, the place where the sword was made was no longer a shed, but a large house was built directly. Anyway, there were many farmers, so it was not difficult to build it.

Only the six elders and Tian Hu were inside the room to assist at close range, while the others were outside and Tian Meng mobilized and directed them to pass the power of the formation inside.

After all, this involves cutting corners. Although the quality of the famous sword produced in the end will not be bad, if the real owner knows about it, he will definitely feel uncomfortable and cause trouble.

Those people can definitely guess that they will intercept the materials secretly, but this is a matter of mutual consent. Compared with the casting of the named sword, the loss is nothing.

But this interception ratio of [-]% to [-]% is still too crazy. They themselves feel numb just looking at it, let alone others.

So it must be kept secret, absolutely confidential.

Even after those swords come out, they have to be distributed slowly. Only when the farm family is strong enough can they be fully displayed.

Tian Hao would not pay attention to these things. He only focused on forging swords, forging the materials provided by the major forces first, and at the same time, in order to make the forging more efficient, he first concentrated those materials and cast them together.

In this way, you only need to forge the same mixing ratio every day. You can even put some materials together for large-scale melting and casting, and then cut them into the required size, and the efficiency will be further improved.

The major forces soon received the finished products one after another, and then asked some swordsmiths they invited to taste and study them. Those forces that did not invite swordsmiths also came over to find people to test them together. Among them, Many people approached the Mo family.

The Xu family of the Mo family is still very famous in the world, having forged many famous swords. Even the shark tooth known as the demon sword in the world a few years ago is a top famous sword.

Some well-informed people have also heard that Mrs. Xu and Master Xu each forged a top-notch sword and became a master swordsmith. Together with the Mo Mei forged by the ancestors of the Xu family, there are four top-notch swords.

This is considered a very high achievement among the swordsmith lineage, second only to Ou Yezi's lineage.

"How about it?"

Seeing that his old friend had been observing the sword for a quarter of an hour but still didn't say anything, Cuiyu glanced at the hands of those around him who were eagerly waiting for the result, and asked on his behalf.

"There is nothing wrong with the sword. It is good to be able to forge a low-grade famous sword with the materials provided. And although this sword is a low-grade sword, it is very close to a high-grade sword, and the strength and sharpness of the sword are not inferior to those of a mid-grade famous sword. "

Heaving a sigh of relief, Xu Zhu gave his evaluation.

Although the craftsmanship and material ratio of this sword were still unclear, judging from the main materials mentioned by the man, it was undoubtedly a success to create a low-grade famous sword.

Even if he takes action, he will only reach the threshold of a famous sword at most, and he is not even sure of it yet.

The sword-making profession is also divided into levels. Only those who forge famous swords can be called masters, and those who forge precious swords can only be regarded as craftsmen.

Only those who forge top-notch famous swords can be called masters, which means they have reached the pinnacle of the sword-making profession.

I am just an ordinary swordsmith, not comparable to the mother and son of the previous family head.

After receiving Xu Zhu's confirmation, the old man waiting beside him grinned and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there was no problem with the sword, it would be fine. He didn't care how much material the farmer kept in it.

Being able to intercept materials is a person's ability, and given the size and weight of the sword, you can tell with your eyes that the materials intercepted are definitely not much, and it is acceptable.

"Master, please take a look at this sword of a certain person. The farmer said it has reached the level of mid-grade."

At this time, a middle-aged man raised the long sword in his hand and said. Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they were filled with envy. Then they quickly opened a passage for the man to come forward.

The materials they provided before were all of the lowest quality. The swords they forged using them could reach the threshold of famous swords, which is considered high-quality. Who would have thought that someone would reach the middle-grade level.

It stands out from the crowd. What a blessing.

"No, don't call me master. In our lineage of swordsmiths, only those who forge top-notch famous swords are qualified to be called masters."

Xu Zhu hurriedly denied that he would be very useful if he was complimented by others in the government city, but this is a farmhouse, and there is also a swordsmith master who has forged several top-notch famous swords. How dare he call himself a master? You are humiliating yourself.

"Chong!"

He raised his hand to take the long sword handed over by the man, and unsheathed the sword. The light reflected from the sword caught his eyes, making his eyes light up.

"Good sword!"

Raising his hand and gently stroking the clear and smooth sword body, Xu Zhu couldn't put it down.

This is undoubtedly a famous sword that has reached the mid-level level, better than the previous one.

"The characteristics of this sword correspond to the current solar terms, and also match the power of the farm's land formation, so it is possible to fully unleash the power of the material and reach the mid-grade level.

The strength is stable, the spirituality is also very strong, and the strength and sharpness of the sword are considered top-notch among the middle-grade swords. "

It took a while before he gave his evaluation. Xu Zhu was impressed by this sword.

Although they have relied on external forces to build it, it is still a kind of skill that is much better than their own, not to mention that they are now building in batches. Even the previous generation of family owners are not as good as compared to it.

The middle-aged man looked happy after hearing this, and immediately asked: "One more thing, the farmer's disciple who brought the sword said that the farmer will provide post-service services. For all swords from the farmer's house, the sword holder can come to the farmer's house to measure them. Body adjustment, what does this mean?"

Everyone also listened attentively. They had also heard this reminder, but most of them didn't know what it meant.

Xu Zhu was not surprised by this, because when he received the forged sword before, he had heard it from the peasant disciple who gave it to him. As a swordsmith, he naturally knew the meaning.

He didn’t hide any secrets about this and said: “Although the more perfect a sword is, the better, but the more important thing is its fit and adaptability.

For example, the hilt of a sword has its thickness, length, weight, and center of gravity settings. These are all fixed when the sword is made, but it is difficult to determine the body size, strength and speed of the person holding the sword, the sword technique used, etc. .

Just like Chollima and Bole, only when the right sword meets the right person can the full potential of the two be unleashed.

Everyone must have heard of the Giant Que Sword. It is one of the five famous swords forged by Master Ou Yezi alone. It is a truly top-notch sword. Unfortunately, it is too huge and heavy to have a swordsman who can wield it, resulting in a giant sword. Que's ranking on the Famous Sword Book is outside the [-]th place.

This example is quite extreme. The Giant Que Sword is indeed too heavy and far exceeds the conventional definition of a sword, but it is a clear example.

Therefore, it is best for a sword to be adjusted to suit itself. Among them, the hilt and sword grid are the easiest to adjust. The hilt, sword grid and sword body of many swords are not made in one piece, but are made of other materials. Adjusted in this way It will be much easier to get up.

This is the case with swords made by farmers, which is also the advantage of the split casting method.

In addition, the sword body can also be adjusted, but the adjustment range is much smaller. The adjustment of the sword shape is the most difficult, no less than recasting, and the adjustment of the straightness of the sword body is the easiest. "

After Xu Zhu explained this, everyone understood.

In other words, in the past, people had to adapt to the famous swords they got, but now they can further change the sword to adapt to people, which is a good thing.

"Isn't the straighter the sword, the better?"

One person suddenly asked, not quite understanding this.

According to his understanding, the sword must be straighter to exert more force and perfectly concentrate the power.

“This is not absolute, it mainly depends on the swordsman’s habit of using the sword and the sword technique used.

If it is some swordsmanship related to sound and wind power, a special shape of the sword body is required, and the soft sword type has more stringent requirements in this regard. "

Xu Zhu patiently explained this point. Most people don't know the inner secret.

"Are there any hidden dangers in this method of split casting?"

At this time, the man asked again, causing Xu Zhu's eyes to narrow slightly, and after taking a deep look at the man, he explained: "Both the one-piece molding method and the separate casting method have their own advantages and disadvantages. The one-piece molding method... I won’t go into details anymore, but here I will tell you the advantages and disadvantages of the split casting method.”

As he spoke, Xu Zhu picked up the long sword that the man had just given to him for evaluation, left the hilt free for everyone to see, and then pointed at the material in the middle that was obviously different in color from the surroundings.

"This is the real hilt, which extends from the sword body. It is made of the same material as the sword body. As long as we inject our power into it through here, we can form sword energy on the sword body.

This is no different from a sword cast in one piece, but it is also subject to limitations, that is, the skill must be injected from the exposed part. The hilt itself is just made of bronze mixed with some materials. The material is not as good as the sword body..."

As Xu Zhu narrated, everyone understood this and looked at the hilt of the sword in their hands.

It can be clearly seen that the lower hilt of the sword body is exposed from both sides of the hilt, and it can fit with the fingers and palm. When using a sword normally, you will definitely hold the hilt tightly at all times and fit those two parts.

In addition, the side of the sword hilt is also made of the same material with rivets, leaving three protrusions on the side to further fit the palm.

Normally, it is sufficient and does not affect the use effect.

Moreover, the strength of the sword hilt made by other farmers is not bad. They have tried it before, especially the strength of the sword grid is not much worse than the sword body.

Furthermore, those who can use famous swords are rare sword masters, and generally will not let the opponent's sword edge hit the sword grid.Not to mention that the sword made by other farmers has bulges extending to both sides at the end of the sword body, which can be regarded as a small sword grid. It is very practical and is no worse than a sword hilt cast in one piece.

Besides, given the weight of the sword body, it is understandable for farmers to save some material on the hilt, as long as it does not affect their use.

Not to mention that they also provide after-sales service, which is even less impressive.

In addition to the Mohist representatives, many forces are also conducting similar tasting discussions, and the final results are quite satisfactory.

“Farmers are about to rise!”

On the side of the Confucian delegation, Fu Nian looked at the sword in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

This time he came as a representative of Confucianism as a whole, not just Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Although their Confucianism focuses on scholarship, they also practice swordsmanship, and they have a line of Confucian knights after Mencius, so they also attach great importance to the peasant family's invitation to make swords.

In addition, Xiaoshengxianzhuang and Confucianism targeted Huang Tianhou and Qin twice, so they will definitely be resented, and they may come back at some time.

There is an urgent need to enhance strength. Famous swords are a great help and can quickly improve the strength of masters.

So after confirming the farmer's achievements in sword-making this time, the Confucian clan pulled out all the precious ores they had sealed and asked him to lead a team to ask the farmer to forge a famous sword.

But today I saw swords forged by farmers, and I couldn't help but feel that farmers were about to rise.

"Junior brother, are you thinking about that Tian Guinong?"

Han Fei, who was drinking, glanced at Li Si, who had been deep in thought, and asked with a smile.

“The timing of Natian Guinong’s appearance is very clever.”

Nodding, Li Si felt that returning the land to farmers was not an easy task.

With the help of the intelligence network of Xiaoshengxianzhuang and Confucianism, he knew everything about the major forces in the world, not to mention all the details, but at least he knew about some major events.

The conflicts within the farmer's family are not a secret. According to the intelligence, it is speculated that the farmer's family has reached a dangerous edge at that time. If it goes further, there will be internal fighting and even cannibalism.

At this time, a farm farmer appeared, and with the help of the 24-solar sword casting plan, he diverted the attention of the farmers and resolved the crisis of internal fighting.

He doesn't think it's a coincidence.

"Why do you think so much? His presence is also good for us."

Han Fei is relatively casual, especially he doesn't care much about things that have little to do with him.

He had never thought of intervening in the farmer's affairs. Daze Mountain was also far away from Korea, so even if he established diplomatic relations with the farmer, it would not make much sense.

Moreover, Korea was already in chaos and pitfalls, and he didn't want to join another farmer's family.

In addition, during the Korean-Vietnam War, the farmers suffered heavy losses on their side. Although they were on the same front at the time, there was no guarantee that they would not complain, so it was better to have less contact.

"The matter of the farmer's family and the farm's return to the farmers is only secondary. What I'm interested in is the secret behind the farmer's family's events over the years."

Li Si smiled playfully and saw that there was a hidden secret in it.

"Isn't it because someone wants to interfere with the farm, or even take control of the farm?"

Han Fei still seemed very casual, and he had already seen this.

Although there is no tangible evidence, there are some things where just a suspicion is enough.

"You'd better not get involved in these foreign affairs."

Fu Nian put down the sword in his hand and gave a serious warning.

The only task he came out this time was to make swords, and he didn't want to cause any complications.

Xiaoshengxianzhuang and Confucianism are already under great pressure, and they need to always be on guard against possible retaliation from the Qin State. If they provoke any more enemies, the situation will be even worse.

In particular, the peasant family has shown its ability to cast famous swords in batches. It will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future. It is not appropriate to cause misunderstandings or even conflicts with them.

"Senior brother, you have been living in the Little Sage Village before. You don't know the dangers of the outside world. Sometimes, if you don't provoke others, they won't provoke you."

Li Si said meaningfully, then looked solemn and said seriously: "The core of the farmer's problem lies with Tian Meng, Tian Hu and Wu Kuang. The three participated in the Baiyue War together and suffered heavy losses. Later, Wu Kuang Kuang and Nongjia Kuang participated in the Battle of Longxi again and colluded with the foreign barbarians.

It's hard to tell between Tian Meng and Tian Hu, but Wu Kuang's problem is not small.

He was able to abandon his bottom line and collude with foreign barbarians, which shows that he would go to any lengths to do things. Coupled with the people and forces standing behind him, it is hard to predict what he would do once he is allowed to take charge of the farm. "

After hearing Li Si's words, both of them looked more serious.

"This matter must start from the Battle of Baiyue and the Battle of Longxi."

Fu Nian looked at Han Fei and thought that if he wanted to investigate, he had to start from those two wars, and South Korea was one of the initiators of the Baiyue War.

Seeing his senior brother looking over, Han Fei put down the flask helplessly and said: "We in Korea did not take the initiative to contact the farmers. They came here on their own initiative. The reason why they participated in the Baiyue War was probably because of the influence of some people in the Chu State. invite."

To be honest, he didn't want to talk about the Baiyue Zhizhi that year, because it was too deceptive. It seemed that Korea was very incompetent and became the laughing stock of all the countries in the world, especially his father.

First, they were fooled around by the weak Baiyue, and then the whole army was annihilated by the trap, causing heavy losses.

Before this was over, Baiyue and the Qin State took advantage of the situation and kidnapped nearly a million of their Korean people, leaving behind devastation.

He even suspected that it was Huang Tianhou's plan that allowed his father, Ji Wuye and others to escape from the battlefield. He used this to force his father to kill his father and ascend the throne, and to carry out massacres within South Korea. Even now, South Korea has not slowed down. Come.

After that, South Korea's vitality was severely damaged and it was no longer able to attack Baiyue, allowing Baiyue to calmly deal with Chu's attack.

This strategy of killing two birds with one stone made him feel numb. It was really a tragedy for South Korea to face such an opponent.

It's so hard!

"The main battlers back then were Chunshen Lord Huang Xie and General Xiang Yan, but I don't think there was much need for those two to invite the farmers. There should be someone else secretly."

Li Si expressed his opinion. He was from the Chu country. Although he came from a poor family, he was still somewhat capable, so he knew some things.

Coupled with what I learned from the intelligence network after joining Little Saint Xian Manor, as well as previous discussions and exchanges with Brother Haoran, I have some understanding of the original battle.

Han Fei's face became more serious, he thought for a moment and said: "There are not many clues revealed in the Baiyue Battle. If you really want to see through the chess game, you have to start from the Longxi Battle.

From the list of the Qin State that was widely spread throughout the world, we can see that there were many important people involved, including the Xiang clan of the Chu State, Lord Xinling of the Wei State, the new Pingyuan Lord of the Zhao State, and there must be others in the Yan State. I suspect it is the so-called man from the Yan State. Ju Wu, the wise man, and then the Moh family and the peasant family.

But this is only the list found by Qin State. There must be someone hiding in secret who has not been found out. I guess that person should be the person behind Wu Kuang. "

Although he didn't care much about these things, he had understood and thought about them and had some thoughts of his own.

"Based on this, the farmer's 24-solar sword plan may be successfully completed, but there may be problems later."

Fu Nian had a guess. There would definitely be a big battle on the farm's side.

"Senior brother, do you want to get involved? Farmers' favors nowadays are quite important."

Li Si asked. He was more inclined to help the farmer to get a favor.

However, this matter still needs to be decided by Fu Nian. He does not have the power to make the decision.

Han Fei became interested. Ever since he built up his muscles, he has become a bit more aggressive, especially in high-intensity fights.

I had been competing with Fu Nian, Li Si and the teacher before, and I was getting a little tired of it.

“Let’s understand the situation first, and we’ll see when the time comes.”

After thinking about it for a while, Fu Nian felt a little moved.
