Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

In the Minting Workshop, the hydraulic forging machine is constantly beating and making loud noises.

Li Wangyou stayed in the Workshop for a short while, and felt upset and overwhelmed by the noise, so he pulled Yan Liben out to talk.

“Liben, this hydraulic forging machine, do you know that there are other uses?”

“If you go back to the teacher, since the creation of this forging machine, the discipline has already thought about it. If my Great Tang craftsmen use this to forge armor and weapons, it will surely be able to half the results for twice the effort. Now Great Tangs best is Hundred Refinements steel, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and labor-intensive. If the discipline uses the hammer head Reduce the weight and make the beating faster. The Hundred Refinements steel is not a difficult task. With no difficulty, you can forge a large amount of Hundred Refinements steel. It is hard to imagine how strong and sharp a weapon is forged on such a large scale. “

The Hundred Refinements steel mentioned by Yan Liben is a kind of steel making process of Great Tang.

The fried steel is repeatedly heated and forged, thousands hammers, hundred refinements, until a hundred times. Repeated forging can remove the impurities in the steel and make the steel harder.

Hundred Refinements steel repeatedly folds and forges steel. The manufacturing is very difficult and the output is extremely rare. All that can be forged in this way are all treasures of the world.

As for the steel of the manufacture armor, it doesn’t need to be like a sword or a weapon. The requirement for steel is tenacious. Anyway, these Li Wangyou don’t understand, only a general idea.

But there are great craftsmen like Yan Liben and his brother Yan Lide, as well as many skilled craftsmen at Great Tang, Li Wangyou won’t bother to think about these things, he just provides an idea that’s all.

“haha, Liben, you really have thought of it. Yes, this hydraulic forging hammer is used to forge steel. It is great. The teacher will explain this to His Highness. It is better to be in this yellow valley. , Build an ordnance workshop to forge armor and blades. Liben, are you interested in taking over the construction of this workshop?”

“Liben is naturally willing.” Yan Liben is overjoyed, his favorite is actually these With regard to construction, he certainly agreed to what Li Wangyou said.

Master and disciple chatted happily, Li Wangyou simply sent the guards, rode back to the house and fetched tea from the stove. Together with Yan Liben, they were on the bank of the Qi River, enjoying the beautiful scenery while chatting about the crafting of various weapons.

As a man, there is no one who dislikes swords, weapons and armors. Tang Dao was originally famous in history, and Li Wangyou was naturally interested.

He traveled to Great Tang for more than half a year, but he has not seen the real Hundred Refinements treasured sword. The one worn by Li Er should be the Hundred Refinements sword, but he can’t ask Li Er to give him his saber to play with.

Yan Liben, as the young supervisor who will be the supervisor, is familiar with the Great Tang knife system. He gave Li Wangyou a detailed introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of Great Tang’s various knife systems. Li Wangyou with keen interest pleasure.

Great Tang’s knives are divided into four types. The “Liu Dian_Arsenal of the Tang Dynasty” records that “there are four knives, one is the yi knife, the second is the Zan knife, the third is the horizontal knife, and the fourth is the Mo knife .”

Yi knife is a ritual weapon, worn by Great Tang officials and the palace Guard, and Li Wangyou is a ritual knife. The sword is a short blade, shaped like a dagger, and is used for self-protection.

Hengdao and Modao are the real murder weapons.

Modao is a huge long sword with two blades on both sides. It “walks like a wall” when it is arrayed, and it can break “horses and horses” when it is swung. It is called an ultimate weapon.

The length of the Mo knife is about three meters, the blade and the handle are 1.5 meters long, and the weight is about 50 catties. Great Tang’s Mo Dao players are strictly selected fierce pawns, with strong arms and physical courage, otherwise they would not be able to dance the heavy and slender Mo Dao.

A well-equipped swordsman can cost at least 3,000 copper coins, which is huge, and even Great Tang can hardly be equipped in large quantities. But Mo Dao Shou’s deterrence and battle strength are extremely strong, this is the only pawn that can smash the cavalry frontally.

Faced with the impact of the cavalry, the strange sword, like a wall of swords, can cut the cavalry company and horse into two sections under the swing, and its formidable power can be imagined.

Mo Dao is an ultimate weapon, Li Wangyou just thinks about that’s all, he can’t even hold it for him.

The horizontal knife is what Li Wangyou is most interested in.

He knows that the horizontal sword is the originator of the later Japanese katana, but the horizontal sword has no arc and the blade is straight.

In history, Yokoto was once given as a gift to the members of Qiantang Envoy, and they were taken back to Japan. Then introduced to Japan, and the crafting technology of horizontal sword, which later evolved into katana.

Seeing that Li Wangyou is very interested in horizontal knives, Yan Liben immediately slapped his chest to ensure that after the ordnance workshop is completed, he will build a horizontal knife of Hundred Refinements steel for his teacher.

Li Wangyou is naturally nodded to accept it, but he also asked people to get paper and pen, and drew the pattern of the saber cut in the Song Dynasty on it.

The saber-cutting knife in the Song Dynasty originated from the Great Tang horizontal knife, but the straight blade became an arc. In this way, it can avoid damage to the blade during chopping, and maximize the formidable power of the blade.

Including the Arab machete and the Japanese katana, both are true.

“Liben, take a look at the sword for the teacher, maybe you can build it like this?”

Yan Liben carefully examined the saber-cutting pattern drawn by Li Wangyou for a long time, but there are some I dont know why: “Master, it can be built, but why is the blade curved? What’s the benefit?”

It’s hard to explain his question, Li Wangyou, should it be given to Yan Liben? Last Physics class? He also has to understand.

Li Wangyou knows that the curved blade is good for hacking and can protect the blade, but if you want to tell a one-two-three-four truth, how can you tell it.

In response to Yan Liben’s question, Li Wangyou just pretended to smile indifferently: “Zi said,’Do what you say first, and then follow it.’ Liben, you first go to make this saber knife and experiment After that, there must be something.”

“Yes, the discipline has been taught.” Where did Yan Liben know Li Wangyou’s colorful bowels, and thought that his teacher was teaching him, so he bowed and saluted.

After fooling Yan Liben, Li Wangyou didn’t dare to talk about any more knives. For fear of being timid, he could only take him to talk about some turbulent things to pass the time.

After waiting for almost two hours, the tea was changed several times, and finally there was a galloping horse in Huangyu, and Li Wangyou knew that Niu Wu was back.

The one who came with Niu Wu was naturally Li Er and the ban on the brigade behind him.

“Ziyou, I heard that your guards came to report that the coin was minted?”

“Reporting back to Uncle, that’s it.” Li Wangyou smiled and handed it to Li Twenty-one freshly-baked copper coins: “Please look at Uncle. This is the coin that was stamped out.”

Li Er took the coin and looked at it carefully: “Hey, the writing on this coin and the Why is the pattern so clear? This is what you said, a coin made by hydraulic power? Gee, this coin is amazing. The workmanship is so delicate. Compared with the official money minted before the court, it looks like private money. Come on. Quickly, take me to see how this coin was minted.”

Seeing Li Er so impatient, Li Wangyou smiled, and Yan Liben invited him in. Minting Workshop visit……
