  Chapter 1669 Brother 1670 Huang Yueying's knife

   On this day, when Fei Qian finished his business and saw Huang Yueying again, he didn't expect Huang Yueying to be holding a knife in his hand!

  What is this for?

   Fei Qian's eyes widened.

  Although the one in Huang Yueying's hand is not a hatchet, it is not considered a small knife. It has a slight curvature, um, it looks a bit familiar...

   "Ah! Sir! I figured it out!" Huang Yueying was obviously thinking about something before, but she didn't put down the knife in her first reaction when she saw Fei Qian, but said with a little joy.

   "Uh..." Fei Qian was a little embarrassed, this line seemed inexplicably familiar, "Okay, just figure it out, but can you put the knife down first?"

Huang Yueying was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head, and realized that she was holding a knife. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, then put it on the table, and beckoned Fei Qian to come over, "Don't stand so far... this knife It’s still the shape of the knife that you mentioned before, sir, it was forged with great difficulty, it’s really good for chopping...Look at it, sir..."

  Most of Huaxia's war knives are curved knives, that is, if the knives are turned sideways, the blades want to be upturned, but now this knife is a kooki knife, which is commonly known as a dog-leg knife.

  The advantages and disadvantages of the dogleg knife are very obvious. Because the center of gravity is forward, it is almost full value in chopping, but if it is about the penetration ability, it can only be haha...

   "I tried several molds, and found that 2 feet 2 is the largest..." Huang Yueying stood beside Fei Qian, and said with some regret, "If it were longer, it would feel like an axe, quite cumbersome..."

Fei Qian nodded, looked at the blade on the kooki knife, and weighed it in his hand. It is strange to say that when holding this type of knife, there is always the urge to chop something, so he can't help but glance left and right. .

  Huang Yueying covered her mouth and smiled, then said to Huang Xu in the hall: "Zichu, let someone find a wooden target."

  Fei Qian turned the knife upside down, walked towards the courtyard, and said, "I understand what you said just now?"

"I also changed some farm tools in Pingyang, and found some old farmers on the road..." Huang Yueying talked about what happened to her on the road, "Then, I saw this knife, and then I was thinking about it. , The choice of the old farmer is also the same. When it comes to farming tools, there is really no way to cover everything. It can only focus on one point... Just like this knife, it is good for chopping..."

Such a curved knife was originally developed by Fei Qian for the soldiers in the mountains, but climbing the technology tree does not mean that it is like in the game. After accumulating some skill points and clicking them, they can be used immediately, and the equipment of the entire army can be replaced instantly. , so until now the mountain soldiers have been quite formed, and this kukri can be regarded as a successful development.

For soldiers in mountainous areas, traditional curved knives are not very easy to use. If they exceed three feet, they will often encounter tree branches, rattan, etc., so now they use a reduced version of curved knives. But the shrunken curved knife, because the weight and length are reduced, so the fighting power is also less...

  The dog-leg knife can make up for this problem.

  At the same time, in the mountains, the dogleg knife is also a very useful tool knife. It can be said that it is a special weapon that is very suitable for mountain soldiers.

  Huang Xu asked someone to carry a wooden stake with hay tied up, then drove it into the soil in the courtyard, and stood it up.

   Fei Qian stood in front of the stake, exhaled and made a sound, and focused his force on the recurved blade, and slashed across with the knife, the stake snapped!

   "Well, it's really good! Here, try it!" Fei Qian threw the dog-leg knife to Huang Xu who was standing aside with a little jealousy.

  Huang Xu was not too polite, took the knife, and started to destroy the wooden stake, chopping it horizontally and vertically, after a few knives, the wooden stake was chopped into pieces...

"Good knife! Good knife!" Huang Xu turned over to see that there was still not much blunted blade, and couldn't help praising, "If the cavalry is also equipped with this kind of knife, it will not be a problem to cut off the horse's head with one knife! "

"Cavalry?" Fei Qian smiled, shook his head and said, "Cavalry is not suitable for this kind of knife. This is a knife for close combat. Cavalry is another kind of knife. It should be lighter and sharper. It can cut and pierce... but Our current steel material is not good enough, so we only use the ring head knife temporarily, and when the steel material is better in the future, we can switch to a lighter and tougher cavalry sword... Think about it, this knife should not be too long, too long is not only It’s heavy, and it’s inconvenient to use on horseback, and at the same time, the piercing ability of this knife is average...so if you want to pursue heavy chopping, it’s better to use an ax directly..."

  Huang Xu tilted the knife, a little stunned, and then nodded, "That's true, but it's really good to cut with this knife..."

   "Put it away if you like it..." Fei Qian smiled, and then said, "In terms of chopping alone, this knife is considered top-notch..."

"Thank you, my lord, for the reward!" Huang Xu happily put the knife into the scabbard, but found that the scabbard was also different from ordinary war knives, with holes on the side. , Huang Xu knew how to store it without pointing it out, "Hey, this scabbard...is interesting, interesting..."

Ignoring Huang Xu's muttering, Fei Qian waved his hand to let Huang Xu lead others to clean up the mess in the courtyard. Of course, chopping wood piles is fun for a while, but it can't be done all the time. thing…

   Feiqian sat beside Huang Yueying, and said, "Actually, the old farmer you mentioned just now, there may be another reason for choosing which one is heavier... Which one is heavier... more iron..."

   "Acridine?" Huang Yueying froze for a moment, her big eyes suddenly became a little confused, "Isn't it for more convenience and ease of use?"

Fei Qian chuckled, this kind of thing is like asking a man whether he likes short hair or long hair, and actually men like bigger hair. For old farmers, it is of course good for digging the ground, but it is heavy It means more iron, and a piece of iron is also a great property of an ordinary farmer, so naturally it must be heavier...

  The reason for the diversification of weapons is to have a strong advantage when fighting in different regions, but the diversification of agricultural tools may not be an advantage sometimes...

"So, now..." Fei Qian said slowly, "there are too many types of farm tools handed down from ancient times, which are actually not suitable for ordinary people... and from another perspective, too many different types of farm tools are not suitable for For ordinary farmers and women, it is also a burden...We can simplify it now, for example...Well, the four iron farm tools, sickle, hoe, axe, and plow... should be relatively necessary. As for the others...maybe they can be made of wood, Maybe instead of…”

Some agricultural tools are somewhat repetitive in functionality, such as hoes and shovels, which are used to dig soil. Sometimes hoes are easy to use, and sometimes shovels are easy to use, but they are somewhat repetitive, such as hammers and axes, hatchets and sickles etc…

  The oldest farming tools in China are all made of wood. Of course, some people still use them, such as Leisi. Lei is the oldest digging tool, which can even be traced back to the period of the slave society’s collection economy. It was developed from a sharp stick for digging plants…

  A crossbar is installed at the lower end of the pointed wooden stick to facilitate the pedaling and make it easy to enter the soil. This is a single-pointed lei. Later, the double-pointed lei was derived, which improved the effect of digging, and then developed into a flat plate-shaped wide blade on the blade of the single-pointed lei, resembling a shovel, and became a wooden plow, and its efficacy was further improved.

Later, on the basis of Leisi, there appeared many different agricultural tools such as adzes, scorpions, axes, shovels, shovels, shovels, scorpions, sickles, plows, etc., which have almost the same meaning as eighteen kinds of weapons. Down, for ordinary farmers and women, it is indeed a considerable burden.

  Now under the rule of Feiqian, the meaning of unification is not only formal or administrative, but also many aspects, among which the unification of Nongsang is also a very important link. The agricultural calendar is about to be promoted, and with the new agricultural calendar, a complete set of agricultural tools is naturally required. Moreover, among these, Fei Qian can also be mixed with uniform standard private goods, and it will not be used by others. Find…

For example, how heavy is a catty and how long is a foot? As long as these standards are applied to farm tools, these farmers will naturally understand how to apply these standards to their specific lives. When that time comes, other standards will naturally be slow Slow was merged...

If, like Qin Shihuang, he forcibly ordered the world to implement a certain standard, he would naturally encounter various problems, but like Fei Qian, who took advantage of the opportunity to improve farm tools and mixed standards into it, even if people Found this problem, but also nothing to say.

And when farmers accept these relatively more useful tools, they naturally also accept the measurement standards reflected in these tools, and a unified and stable measurement standard is the basis for the progress of industrial and agricultural science and technology in the whole society. a piece of foundation.

   An inconspicuous but important foundation.

  Before, there were no conditions, but now the conditions are slowly maturing, and it is just the right time. Too early or too late is not the best time.

"You have to worry about this matter..." Fei Qian smiled slightly, looked at Huang Yueying, and teased in a low voice: "Maybe after thousands of years, you will be named the ancestor of craftsmen or the ancestor of farm tools..." Like this He could collect prestige and control standard things. Naturally, it was impossible for anyone to do it. Therefore, no matter from that perspective, Huang Yueying was the most suitable candidate.

  Huang Yueying shook her head with a smile, just looked at Fei Qian and said, "I just want to help you, sir...it doesn't matter whether you leave your name or not..."

  Fei Qian reached out, shook Huang Yueying's hand, and said with a smile: "I know... But, you don't care about these reputations, but other people need them..."

  Huang Yueying tilted her head slightly, thought for a while, and nodded, holding Fei Qian's hand with her backhand, smiling, "Before I left, I went to the academy..."

   "Huh?" This time it was Fei Qian's turn to be stunned, his heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at it. Fortunately, Huang Xu had already put away the dog-leg knife.

"Sister Cai...Well, maybe it should be called Sister Cai? Well, never mind..." Huang Yueying also became a little confused, "It seems that she has something on her mind...I asked, but she refused to say...Also, that Chen Liulai The people of the Cai family also hate it, when you are not in Pingyang, you rely on your master's name... Xun Youruo is not easy to deal with..."

  Fei Qian heard the words, he couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that this person is doing something evil?"

"There's nothing unforgivable, it's just that you talk a lot every day..." Huang Yueying wrinkled her nose, forming a few small wrinkles, "Are you talking about doing evil, but you really didn't do anything bad, just talking about this and that all day long... every day All drinking and partying, talking about characters, buzzing and annoying..."

   "Drinking parties every day? How much money did he get? Oh... I see..." Fei Qian sighed, where else could the money come from? It must have come from Cai Yan. I knew before that Cai Yan's so-called relatives were not a big deal, so I didn't pay much attention to them at all. I didn't expect that this guy didn't know whether it was because he thought Pingyang was too good, or because he felt that there were constant wars in Shandong, or maybe some other reason. I stayed in Pingyang like this, and never returned to Chenliu.

In the Han Dynasty, filial piety was emphasized, and according to seniority, Cai Yan was a junior. In the current social moral standards, juniors would do it for the sake of their elders, even naked in winter, lying on the ice and begging for fish, not to mention just taking some spare money drink wine?

  Praise Xiaolian, give Xiaolian...

This kind of excessive emphasis on loyalty and filial piety, or blindly emphasizing ignorance, loyalty and filial piety, regardless of other political guiding ideology, must be changed now, otherwise this mode of thinking will only become more and more extreme, and even in the later dynasties. The almost perverted look in the middle.

  Loyalty and filial piety are virtues, but only emphasizing one person's loyalty and filial piety leads to this person's ignorance of other things and lack of talent, which is not necessarily a good thing for the whole society.

   "Also..." Seeing that Fei Qian was in a daze, Huang Yueying couldn't help pulling Fei Qian's hand, "She said she didn't want to come to Chang'an..."

   "Ah? Why?" Fei Qian couldn't help asking.

  Huang Yueying wrinkled her nose again, narrowed her big round eyes, showing a bit of cunning: "How do I know? She didn't say..."

   "Uh..." Fei Qian was slightly embarrassed, "This...that..."

   "Okay, let's not talk..." Huang Yueying turned her head, let go of Fei Qian's hand, and said, "It's been so long, and I haven't seen you ask Zhen'er..."

   "This..." Fei Qian couldn't laugh or cry, didn't you bring up this topic just now, why did you talk about me again? But it was quickly replaced by another emotion, "Where's Zhen'er? I'll go take a look..."
