Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 575 Sword Yitian, Sword Slaying Dragon

"Western Regions, swords, do you mean?"

Liu Wei had never heard of this incident, but Gao Jin suddenly mentioned it, which caught Liu Wei's attention and asked Gao Jin to provide the sword of the Western Regions he mentioned to have a look.

It was obvious that Gao Jin was well prepared, and as soon as Liu Wei's words came out of his mouth, he immediately arranged for someone to bring up a big knife.

"this."

Before he got the knife, Liu Wei had already seen the unique pattern of wootz steel on the blade. Even in later generations, few metallurgical companies could imitate that pattern.How Wuzi steel is refined, Liu Wei doesn't want to think about these processes. Although this kind of steel is very good in today's era, it is not worth Liu Wei to spend a lot of thought on digging. The development of the times is towards The direction of hot weapons is moving forward, and the characteristics of Utz steel are only suitable for cold weapons.

"Ooze steel!"

"Sir, you really have eyes like gods!" Gao Jin took the big knife, and happily raised it up like a treasure, "Actually, this knife."

"This knife should be made by our craftsmen using wootz steel, right?" Liu Wei didn't wait for Gao Jin to finish speaking, and he had already revealed the mystery of it. You must know that the knives made by Indians or Arabs The shape is not what it is now.

"That's right, I arranged for a master craftsman to make this knife! Speaking of it, the big knife made by our own craftsmen is better. You can see that it has a thick back and a thin edge, and it is easy to break gold and cut jade!" Gao Chong said on the side. , while handing the sword into Liu Wei's hands.

The moment he took the big knife, Liu Wei felt the heavy weight, even with his arm strength, he felt that his wrist was very hard.

"Good knife!"

For Liu Wei and other generals in the fighting field, the blade does not have to be sharp, but it must be heavy enough, so that fighting is easier and more destructive.Like that light and fluffy long sword, no matter how sharp it is, it is useless.

"What is the name of this knife?"

He pulled out a blade with ease, and the sharp blade seemed to emit a chill, which made the air in the entire meeting room drop several degrees.

"This knife has not been named yet, just right, Mr. Prime Minister choose a name!"

It should be the birth of the treasured sword, but Gao Jin made the treasured sword, but did not name the treasured sword. Perhaps this is a coincidence, or it may be that Gao Jin had expected that Liu Wei would like such a sword, so he did it deliberately, but In any case, it gave Liu Wei a chance.

"Oh? I'm up?" For some reason, when Liu Wei knew that this knife had no name, three words "Dragon Slaying Knife!" flashed in his mind.

"Dragon Slayer!"

"Dragon Slaying Knife? This name." Gao Jin looked hesitant, even Gao Yuniang and the others looked sideways. Since ancient times, emperors have been dragons. A symbol, but after all, he is also an emperor, and he "slays the dragon" at every turn. Doesn't that mean that even Liu Wei is also slaughtered?
"I know what you guys are thinking, it's okay, I'm determined, besides, even if this knife is called Tulong, it's impossible for me to stand on top of me. I gave it to him!" Liu Wei said proudly, With a shake of his wrist, the dragon-slaying knife immediately let out a dragon chant, and Fang Buddha also cheered.

"Dragon Saber is indeed a good name!"

Taking a closer look at the name given by Liu Wei, it really makes people feel grand and meaningful, which provoked a lot of people to praise it. Gao Jin even said that he would dedicate this knife to Liu Wei.

For Gao Jin's kindness, Liu Wei was disrespectful.

"It's a pity to have a sword but no sword. If Mr. Gao has the opportunity to buy Wootz Steel again, he must make a sword!" Liu Wei was a little too excited when he first got the sword. Forge a treasured sword, and he also directly gave the name of the sword. Needless to say, it naturally corresponds to the dragon-slaying sword, Yitianjian!
"Dragon Slaying Saber, Yitian Sword! Tsk tsk, what a pair of imposing names, the Prime Minister is really a great talent, a great talent!"

Everyone praised Liu Wei one after another. Although Liu Wei's face was not red, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart. Why would he want to get rid of such a limelight? This is great, the image of the whole person may have been completely destroyed It's all destroyed!

In fact, what Liu Wei thought was wrong.

In the minds of Gao Jin and others, the emperor treats the emperor, and if Liu Wei really looks like the watertight and oil-salt-free appearance in the past, it will really make people feel alienated.Today's performance makes people feel that Liu Wei is more like an emperor in the world.

Due to the interruption of the Dragon Saber incident, the time of the meeting was prolonged a lot.In addition, Liu Wei was in a happy mood, and he also said a lot about the general direction of the future development of the Central Republic of China.

In fact, Liu Wei has already made a decision in his heart about these things, but he hasn't had time to inform everyone.Even though the Central Republic of China is a democratic country in name, Liu Wei's status as emperor is just a decoration, but in fact, all the ministers of the Central Republic of China know that only by following the direction pointed by Liu Wei, can the Central Republic of China be in the present world. Break out of the siege in the troubled times, and finally go to the road of contending for world hegemony.

Therefore, everyone can fully express their opinions on other matters. The only problem is directionality. Basically, everyone will do what Liu Yi says.

Just like what Liu Wei proposed today, the expansion of the Central Republic of China.

The territory of the Central Republic of China today basically includes more than half of Bashu, parts of Shaanxi and Hubei, and most of the areas that originally belonged to Tubo and Xixia.It's just because the last two regions have just accepted the baptism of war, and the social system belonging to the Central Republic of China has not yet taken root in those places, sprouted and blossomed.

But according to Liu Wei's meaning, the next thing to do is exactly this job.

"We have enough population. In fact, our current population density has far exceeded that of the Southern Song Dynasty. Take Xindu City as an example. Our population density has reached or even exceeded that of Lin'an City, so I personally agree with the Prime Minister's suggestion. Execute the immigration program and move the population appropriately."

For Liu Wei's opinion, Gao Jin unreservedly supports it.As the Minister of the Interior, these matters are all under his jurisdiction. It should be said that the better he does, the higher the voice among the people will be.

According to the system of the Central Republic of China, the prime minister is not a life-long career. If it is not the emperor Liu Wei who is concurrently serving as the prime minister, Gao Jin, who is the most important cabinet minister, has achieved a lot of political achievements. After that, it is possible to become a candidate for the next prime minister through elections.

Although he cannot become the emperor, being able to serve as the prime minister is a huge temptation for Gao Jin, or for anyone who is keen on official career.

It's a pity that Gao Jin also knows very well that considering the age gap between him and Liu Wei, it is the end of his lifetime if he can become the Minister of the Interior.

Whether it is him or the current Defense Minister Han Shizhong, the two have stopped in this position in their lives.In fact, the senior officials of the Central Republic of China knew very well that the position of Han Shizhong's Minister of Defense should be the current General Gao Chong, and the position of Minister of the Interior may be taken over by Gao Yuniang or Anna in the future.

From everyone's point of view, Gao Yuniang is more likely to be Minister of the Interior than Anna. As for Anna, she is still a foreigner after all, and Liu Wei will not let her participate too much in some major national affairs, even if it is to avoid suspicion.

As for the descendants of Liu Wei, according to the regulations of the Central Republic of China, since they have chosen the status of the royal family, they can no longer participate in the management of the country, and if they want to participate in the management of the country, they must give up their status as the royal family.

This is a rather cruel rule. When the rule was formulated, both Gao Yuniang and Anna raised clear objections, but it is a pity that Liu Wei is so determined that no one can persuade him to change his mind.After the promotion of the social system of the Central Republic of China, everyone gradually realized why Liu Wei insisted on this rule.

Obviously, Liu Wei regarded himself as an exception, but after him, members of the royal family resolutely did not directly participate in the management of the country, just to prevent the descendants of the royal family from using their special status to change the social system of this country.

The two cannot have both, which also ensures that the national system of the Central Republic of China will not be forcibly changed by Liu Wei's descendants after Liu Wei's death.What is fairness? A decision like Liu Wei's is truly fair.

According to the statistical data that Gao Jin has now, the population of Han Chinese under the Central Republic of China has so far approached the 200 million mark, but the distribution of the population is extremely uneven. The vast majority of the population is concentrated in the new capital city, or It is in Yizhou Prefecture. As for the sites newly acquired by the Central Republic of China, due to various reasons, there are not a large number of people from the Central Republic of China living there.

However, Liu Wei and Gao Jin have the same meaning, that is, to let the common people of the Central Republic of China take root in these newly acquired territories as soon as possible.

It sounds simple, but to do so requires a lot of money to support it.

Since Liu Wei is determined to bring the Central Republic of China to the path of a democratic country, he cannot use feudal methods such as conquering the peasants. In comparison, it will naturally cost more money.Often, Gao Jin, the Minister of the Interior, would do nothing because he had no money.

Building a new site requires money, and maintaining the normal operation of the new site still requires money. After going around, Liu Wei began to worry about money again.

"How about digging out my little treasury again?"

At the meeting, Liu Wei made such an irresponsible suggestion, but his suggestion attracted unanimous opposition from everyone.

In fact, Liu Wei is very rich, and the firearms workshop under his name is simply a cornucopia!
