The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

When Lu Yi came to the Qianjin Terrace, there was already a sea of ​​people there, and many people had already blocked the surrounding area, so they rushed over to see who had the courage to go to the Qianjin Terrace and take it away all at once. A thousand pieces of gold.

Even in the adjacent recruiting hall, many scholars couldn't help being curious and rushed over in groups.

This is a pain for the newly-appointed prefect of Shu County, Zhang Su. Fearing that someone would make trouble, he hastily dispatched a servant from the city to maintain order. Finally, when he heard that Lu Yi was coming, he

Zhang Su was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits, fearing that something might go wrong, he hurried over to sit in Qianjin Terrace himself!

Seeing the prefect of Lian Shu County was alarmed, and hearing that Lu Yi was coming in person, the people watching the excitement were all excited, even many scholars were in an uproar.

"Who is that in there? Even General Lu was alarmed!" As the news spread, some scholars couldn't help discussing, trying to look forward, but Nai Hei pressed a crowd of people and couldn't see who was inside.

"He's a burly man, and he looks like he has a lot of strength!"

"It's just that he doesn't look straight, he's swarthy, but his face is red, he looks like a master who forges iron across the street!",

"What kind of car is that? Why is a wheel missing? Such a car can still move. I'm laughing to death?" [

The scholars were discussing, and the people in front were also commenting, and some people had sharp eyes, and suddenly pointed to the small wooden cart next to the strong man, as if they had discovered something rare, and they were amazed.

Not to mention the many people, even Lu Yi stood behind and listened for a while, his heart was itching, and he couldn't help being very curious, and couldn't help but wink at Sun Guan.

Sun Guan tightened the waist knife on his body, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, Mr. State Shepherd is here!"

Whoops!

Hearing that Lu Yi had arrived, the people onlookers were startled and scattered towards both sides.The eunuch Zhang Su hurried over with the yamen servant, ready to salute.

"no!"

Lu Yi didn't care much about the red tape, he waved his hand to make Zhang Su back down, his sharp eyes fixed on a burly man under Qianjin Platform.

This person was over forty years old, wearing a coarse cloth short shirt, thick arms and thick legs, his face was really red, as if bright flames were dancing on it.Very different from ordinary people.

Zhang Su wanted to show off in front of Lu Yi, and before Lu Yi could ask any questions, he leaned over to Lu Yi and said, "My lord, I have asked you, this man is a blacksmith named Pu Yuan!"

"Grassman Pu Yuan, I have met Mr. Lu!"

Seeing that Zhang Sudao had revealed his identity, Pu Yuan, who was like an iron tower, clasped his fists at Lu Yi quite boldly as a salute, but his hands trembled slightly, obviously he was still a little nervous.

"You are Pu Yuan? Pu Yuan, a famous craftsman who specializes in making knives for people?"

Lu Yi was ecstatic!Pu Yuan, he knows this person. According to the history books, the master of making knives is said to have cast three thousand first knives for Zhuge Liang, known as the magic knife!It can be seen that this person's casting skills are superb!

But Pu Yuan was taken aback by Lu Yi's attitude, and was even more terrified when he heard the words, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Return to Lu Shijun, the grass-roots man is Pu Yuan, who knows some blacksmith work, but dare not call him a famous craftsman!"

"Hahaha... Master Pu is too modest! A person who dares to take a thousand gold is a mediocre person!" Lu Yi suppressed the surprise of seeing Pu Yuan, and was a little curious, and asked: "Since you took I have a thousand gold, so there must be something to offer? Is it that wheelbarrow?” [

Lu Yi had already figured out the wheelbarrow carried by Pu Yuan. In today's Sichuan, the common people used two-wheeled carts to transport supplies.

It’s just that although two-wheeled wooden carts are suitable for transportation on flat ground, after all, the roads in Shu are difficult and dangerous. Two-wheeled carts are not so clever when they reach the mountain roads. Lu Yi was also in the mountains when he was a child. When he saw villagers in the village, they used wheelbarrows for transportation. It is convenient and simple.

He was about to turn around and order Huang Yueying to build one, but he didn't expect to see it here at Pu Yuan.

Seeing that Lu Yi was interested in his unicycle, Pu Yuan was also very happy,

There was a simple smile on the black and red face, and he nodded and said: "Return to the envoy, this is exactly what I want to dedicate to the envoy. In addition, I have a treasured knife to offer, and I promise that the two The things add up to be worth thousands of gold!"

After finishing speaking, Pu Yuan took a precious sword from the wheelbarrow, held it in both hands, and handed it to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi took it with a heavy hand. He pulled out the scabbard and saw that the blade was shining brightly with a sharp cold air.Lu Yi's eyes lit up immediately, he is also an expert in using knives, this knife is not ordinary, it is even much sharper than the steel knife he used.

He didn't draw out the saber completely, but just glanced at the blade, Lu Yi knew that it was definitely a treasured saber, and Pu Yuan valued it even more.

Such a talent, let alone one thousand gold, even if there is another thousand gold, Lu Yi must have it in his bag!

Wei Wei nodded towards Pu Yuan, and handed the treasured knife to Sun Guan to keep it. Lu Yi looked at Pu Yuan seriously, made a gesture of invitation, and said in a deep voice: "Master Pu really deserves his reputation! I have important things to do , I want to tell you in detail, I wonder if Master Pu is willing to go back to the mansion with me?"

"Dare to obey!"

Pu Yuan didn't hesitate, and answered very happily.Lifting his legs means following Lu Yi. He came here for Lu Yi's generous salary, so naturally he would not refuse Lu Yi's invitation.

Lu Yi was also happy in his heart. Although he gave a thousand gold, his heart ached, but the treasured knife presented by Pu Yuan was definitely a treasure that was hard to find in the Central Plains. Absolutely worth it!

Moreover, Lu Yi thought even further. If Pu Yuan could make one of such treasured swords, he would be able to make a second one. With such talents, it is definitely worth the money.

"This is a big deal!" While thinking happily, Lu Yi introduced Jia Xu and others beside him to Pu Yuan one by one.

This made Pu Yuan very excited, not to mention that Jia Xu and others are famous people, even Zhang Song is a high-ranking official that Pu Yuan dare not look up to, but now he is being pulled by Lu Yi to be listed with so many sages , Pu Yuan was both happy and cautious.

When it was time for the guests and hosts to sit down, Lu Yi saw Pu Yuan standing at the lintel cautiously, not daring to overstep in the slightest, felt strange in his heart, pointed to the seat beside him and said, "Why doesn't Master Pu sit?"

Pu Yuan was a little frightened, and hurriedly said: "Return to the envoy, Caomin is a craftsman, and dare not sit with all the sages!"

Lu Yi smiled. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and craftsmen are only in the third class. It is normal for Pu Yuan to be a little cautious. In a short time, he can't change everyone's ideas. After thinking about it, he just waved his hand and let Jia Xu wait. people back down.Then Pu Yuan was invited to sit down.

Seeing that Jia Xu and the others had left, Pu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, respectfully, and knelt down at Lu Yi's head.This made Lu Yi laugh again, a talent like Pu Yuan would definitely be a top talent in the later generations, but at this time, he is nothing more than a humble servant.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi shook his head again.Instead of talking to Pu Yuan first, he ordered someone to give him wine to scare Pu Yuan.Then he asked straight to the point: "Master Pu, how long can you make a precious sword like yours in one month?"

After drinking, Pu Yuan gradually gained courage. When Lu Yi asked about his skills, a confident look flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Return to the envoy, the grass people's sword is made with hundreds of refinements. Steel, after a full 54 smelting, it takes at least ten days to make one!",

"Only three can be produced in one month?" Lu Yi was a little disappointed. Naturally, he wanted to equip the army with excellent knives as soon as possible. As a weapon of war, how could he be satisfied with just three knives.

With a clang, Lu Yi pulled out the treasured saber presented by Pu Yuan, the moment the saber appeared, it was immediately cold and extremely sharp.With a puff, Lu Yi slashed at the helmet placed on the table.

The stainless steel helmet cracked and was cut in half!When the guards outside heard the movement, they quickly poked their heads in, just in time to see this scene, their eyes almost popped out in shock.

Lu Yi was still a little dissatisfied. He picked up the treasured sword and looked at it. Although the helmet was cut, there was a slight gap in the blade. Although the slightness was almost negligible, a defect is a defect.

"Although it's a treasured sword, it's still a little short of fire! Master Pu, how much can you refine?" Lu Yi asked.

Pu Yuan swallowed his saliva, and said with a wry smile: "General Hui, if I go all out, a knife can reach 72 refining, it will definitely cut iron like mud! It is a top-level treasure knife!"

"Do you practice at 72?" Lu Yi nodded, lost in thought.Although there is a gap in the precious sword in his hand, it is because his helmet is not ordinary, it is made of fine steel, very strong.

If it is an ordinary iron helmet, this knife is definitely very sharp, and it can easily cut off the armor of the enemy.Even ordinary heavy armor is hard to resist!

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yi suddenly had an idea, looked at Pu Yuan seriously and said, "Master Pu, if I were to give you a thousand skilled blacksmiths, how many such precious knives can you make in a month? "

"Here, if there are really skilled people to help, the old man estimates that three to five hundred knives can be made in one month! It's just that if the general really wants to achieve the best effect of knives, he needs to meet two conditions. Otherwise, no matter how many blacksmiths there are, there will be no way. Forge the finest knives!"

Pu Yuan said solemnly.
