This official letter was an official letter from the Privy Council, informing Fan Yu to go to the school to select the fifty soldiers needed.

Xu Shou heard Fan Yu read out, so he bowed his hand to him and said, "Master Hou, can you allow me to take a look?" ”

Fan Yu handed over the official letter with a smile and said, "I mentioned to the official family that I wanted fifty forbidden soldiers to try out the weapons to test whether the weapons were suitable. These fifty people were selected to let them first drill the weapons of our Ordnance Factory, so as to determine whether they were light or heavy. Only in this way can we make our military weapons the tools made by the academy and play the greatest role in the battle array. ”

took the official letter in Fan Yu's hand, Xu Shou read it and returned it to Fan Yu.

"Master Hou is so rigorous, I might as well do it." Xu Shou said very sincerely.

Originally, he was going to be a prisoner, but he was just training here, and it wasn't long before he would be assigned another post. Anyway, he Xu Shou is also a Tanhualang, and after being released, he is at least a judge of the sixth grade.

Therefore, Xu Shou doesn't have to take it too seriously in the western workshop.

But when he saw the official letter that Fan Yu received, he knew that things could be done so meticulously. At this time, when I introspected myself, I felt that I had fallen into Tanhualang, and I seemed to be slacking off. Originally, a trace of contempt for Fan Yu, the marquis, was also dispersed.

Fan Yu saw that Xu Shou seemed to have an understanding, so he asked with a smile: "Tanhualang, do you have any good suggestions for me?" ”

Xu Shou hurriedly arched his hand and said: "How dare you, I think that Hou Ye is rigorous, but compared to myself, he is a little comfortable." ”

Fan Yu couldn't help laughing, he himself was not strict from the beginning. Since entering society, I have received countless beatings and countless passive educations to have such an experience.

Now that he has become a marquis, he didn't expect to be able to use these experiences.

"Tanhualang is just a little proud after high school, once he gets serious, he will naturally be like this. I'm afraid of doing things, and I'm even better than I am. Fan Yu comforted the other party.

Xu Shou shook his head and said: "My Song Dynasty literary style is at its peak, and among scholars and doctors, most of them are proud of their poetry and singing style, and few people talk about how to do things. Even if you do something, it's all speculation. As for the consequences, I don't know. If the Hou Ye is like this, everything will be verified, and there is no one who can do it after the test. ”

Fan Yu smiled and didn't say anything, this Xu Shou is a little interesting, and he can actually see this truth from an official letter, which is quite not simple.

"Where is there such a profound thing Tanhua said, it's just that I'm afraid that I will miss the big things of the official family, and I just cross the river by feeling the stones." Fan Yu shook his head and smiled, and turned away.

"Crossing the river by feeling the stones?" Xu Shou plays with taste.

At first glance, this sentence sounds like a vulgar word, but when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. When Xu Shou looked up at Fan Yu again, Fan Yu had already disappeared.

Fan Yu had already gone to the horse chopping station at this time, and there were still weapons that he had customized.

Although the name of the horse chopping knife is called the horse chopping knife, it is a workshop for making all kinds of iron weapons. Swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks are all made from here.

In Fan Yu's view, the horse chopping knife is a big blacksmith shop. Swords and guns, two common standard weapons, are the most made, and there are also a considerable number of craftsmen to do basic cooperation. Compared with some small workshops in later generations, it is not much inferior.

Don't think that the government-run workshops of the Great Song Dynasty are very loose and have no things. The craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty all had special workstations, and those who were good at making weapon handles were autocratic handles. Those who are good at making blades specialize in making blades. In addition, the name of the craftsman must be on top of the armory accessories, that is, the name of the craftsman must be on it.

When craftsmen were still free, from the Qin to the Song Dynasty, the primitive assembly line of Chinese weapons manufacturing still existed. When Fan Yu inspected, he had already seen the primitive assembly line operations of the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty. Looking at it now, I still have some emotion.

If it weren't for the Mongol iron cavalry that destroyed the Han Chinese regime and turned craftsmen into slaves and solidified into craftsmen, the future might have been different.

However, Fan Yu didn't come here to ponder these things, but to see if the things he wanted were built.

Finding the master craftsman here, Fan Yu was invited to a hut.

In the middle of the house, against the wall, there was a row of weapons that he wanted.

"Everything that Master Hou wants is here." The craftsman bowed to Fan Yu and said.

"How heavy is the front section?" Fan Yu looked at the row of weapons and asked.

The craftsman smiled: "Master Hou, don't worry, it's all three catties and six taels, and it won't be bad." If this thing is made too lightly, I am afraid it will not be able to break the armor. If it's heavy, it's not easy to wield. It's just that the kind of weapon that Hou Ye wants is really weird, why do you want to be a spearhead on the bone chopping knife? Is this any good? ”

When Fan Yu heard the words of the craftsman, he almost tilted his nose. What does it mean to put a spearhead on a bone chopping knife? This thing is called an axe gun.

I think Fan Yu was also a teenager who was addicted to games, and he learned about the weapon of axe and gun from a game. The reason why the axe gun can be remembered is because in the game, the class with the axe gun is specialized in restraining cavalry.

Therefore, Fan Yu pondered that with the situation of the lack of horses in the Great Song Dynasty, it should be a good way to promote axes and guns.

Tang has a Mo knife, and now in the Song Dynasty, he has also launched a horse chopping knife. However, these two weapons have their own advantages and disadvantages. The forging requirements of Mo knife are high and the process is complex, which is too labor-intensive and time-consuming, so it has been eliminated. And the horse chopping knife still has some shadows of the Mo knife, but unfortunately it is only a simplified version, and the restraint of the cavalry is not strong.

So Fan Yu asked the craftsmen to build these dozens of axes and guns, and put them on trial first.

He picked up an axe and gun, and it was a little difficult to carry it with one hand, and it was estimated that it should be about ten catties with the handle on his head. However, he was only fifteen years old now, and if he had grown up, it would not have been too difficult to control this axe and spear.

Fan Yu himself looked at the axe gun in his hand and couldn't help laughing. As the craftsman said, the front of this axe is like a spear tip on a bone chopping knife. But it is precisely because of this shape that the axe gun has the ability to restrain the cavalry. Even better, the cost of forging is low, which is conducive to promotion.

Needless to say, the tip of the spear on the axe gun was naturally used to assassinate the enemy. The so-called bone chopping knife is the blade of the axe gun, which can chop and break armor, and can also drag the cavalry off the horse. Coupled with the nearly four-meter-long handle, the power will never be less.

Turning the day, Fan Yu came to the outside of the school. I saw people jumping happily in the school field, and it was the time for the cavalry of the forbidden army to drill. Looking at this posture, it's no wonder that he let himself pick someone to come over today. On the school field, the heroic posture of the Great Song cavalry can be displayed.

It's just that Fan Yu is not interested in the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, just looking at the short horses that those cavalry ride, he doesn't have too much hope for the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty.

Someone saw Fan Yu standing on the side of the school field, so he turned his horse's head and ran towards him.

"I don't know who you're looking for?" The cavalryman looked to be in his early thirties, sitting on his horse, and said to Fan Yu condescendingly.
