The guards who surrounded him were all knocked down by Gao Yuan in a few moments, but Gao Yuan immediately stopped his hand, knelt down on one knee, and pleaded with Xiao Yao: "Please forgive Xiao Gongzi!" In the next is not to make trouble, in the next here sincerely offer a knife to take refuge, but the son treats each other like this, in the next has to offend, if the son is suspicious in the next, in the next this will leave, I hope the son can forgive in the next! ”

"Haha, amazing, good skills! It seems that you are not just a blacksmith, you have practiced kung fu? Xiao Yao came back to his senses, pushed away Master Li who was in front of him, and said a little excitedly, he has been here for more than a year, and it is the first time he has seen such a powerful kung fu, which is much more powerful and exciting than on TV!

"Gao Yuan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, although he later learned cast iron with his master, but he has never abandoned martial arts! It is indeed a last resort to injure Childe's subordinates, please forgive Childe! Gao Yuan lowered his head, and his voice was very sincere.

"Haha, yes, in fact, this is what it means to show your hands, I originally asked you to show your ability to strike iron, but I didn't expect you to show your ability to beat rao!" Xiao Yao said happily, this face is really crooked.

"Huh? So, what does that Childe mean? "Gao Yuan is a little blind, why can't he keep up with this child's thinking.

"Okay, since you want to join the Xiao family's iron workshop as a blacksmith, then now it depends on your ability to make iron, go, go to the forging area to show your hands! Take out all those who are supported and heal well. Xiao Yao instructed the attendants who heard the sound, and then led Gao Yuan to the forging area of the blacksmith's workshop.

Bells, bells, bells, the sound of striking iron continues, the forging area is hot here, in the winter, the blacksmith door is bare-chested, around the stove constantly beating the red-hot iron!

"The Xiao family's blacksmith workshop really lives up to its reputation! The blacksmiths are all in good order, and this is the first time I've seen such a workshop! Gao Yuan was surrounded by many guards with swords, but he visited the ironworks with a calm face.

The blacksmith workshop designed and built by Xiao Yao is, of course, a fusion of modern architectural design concepts, divided into a forging area, a material area, a glass area, a rest room, a canteen, an experimental room, etc., scientifically dividing the pattern and making reasonable use of space.

In the largest forging area, semi-assembly line work is adopted. The teachers were mainly responsible for controlling the temperature of their respective stoves, because there were no thermometers in ancient times, and the temperature of the stove could only be judged by the color of the stove by experience. As for adding coal and pulling bellows, the apprentices are in charge. The burned iron was placed on the anvil next to the stove and constantly beaten under the command of the master, and all of them were in an orderly manner and worked in an orderly manner.

It is precisely through Xiao Yao's series of improvements that the efficiency of the Xiao family's blacksmith workshop has been greatly improved, and the weapons manufacturing tasks of the imperial court can be completed on time every time, which makes the blacksmiths admire Xiao Yao so much.

"What, this is the Xiao family's iron workshop you want to work for, show your iron-making skills." Xiao Yao ordered someone to vacate a stove and let Gao Yuan show his hands.

"Then it will be ugly." Gao Yuan took off his shirt, revealing a strong muscle, picked up the hammer, picked up a piece of red-hot iron, and began to beat it.

"Sure enough, it's a good piece of iron, it seems to have been heated and forged with wrought iron and pig iron, and it feels more flexible." Gao Yuan hammered a few times, and found that this piece of iron was different.

When Gao Yuan was about to quench, he found that there were already two cylinders of liquid on the side of the plate, one was black oil, and the other was yellow water, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "You also know the double-liquid quenching method?" This tube is pig cow urine, right? ”

"This tube is the water that our son added salt, this tube is refined oil, at high temperature, first quench with salt water to enhance the hardness of the sword, and then burn it at a low temperature after beating, and then quench it with black oil to prevent the sword from cracking and deforming, and increase toughness! This is all the cast iron process that our son has improved! Master Li on the side proudly introduced.

"Do you already know how to make the Iron Sword?" Gao Yuan felt incredible, this was a secret skill that his master did not pass on, and it was also the capital that he dared to come to take refuge in so arrogantly!

"Our son-in-law is smart and talented, of course these crafts are difficult to get a son!" Master Li also slapped Xiao Yao's ass.

"The method of making iron is nothing more than the hardness of iron, and the amount of carbon content is white, and the choice of different media for quenching can affect the toughness of iron. Successive generations of master blacksmiths have adapted the iron-casting process to these two requirements, but they all have the same purpose. Xiao Yao said another mysterious sentence, which made everyone feel unfathomable, including Gao Yuan.

"That Gao Yuan really got an axe in the class, it turned out that the Xiao family workshop Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are many talents, no wonder they can make peerless glass treasures." Gao Yuan was extremely shocked, and there was a hint of loss.

"Master Li, if your blacksmithing skills are in the workshop outside, it is a first-class craft, but here in the Xiao family's blacksmith workshop, it is on par with everyone." Xiao Yao looked at Gao Yuan with a little deep meaning.

"What does that son mean, is he worthy of staying in the Xiao family's blacksmith workshop?" Gao Yuan looked at Xiao Yao in disappointment.

"You are not qualified to be a master in the blacksmith workshop, and it seems to be a bit overkill to be an apprentice, but seeing that you are so powerful, and you want to serve me so much, it is better to let you be my bodyguard!" Xiao Yao showed an innocent smile to Gao Yuan.

"Bodyguards? How did this come about? Gao Yuan was still confused, thinking to himself why this son's words were so unfathomable and so difficult to understand.

"A bodyguard is the meaning of a personal guard, in short, after I become a bodyguard, I will do whatever I tell you to do, and I will help me block the sword and sword, even if you are told to die, you can't blink an eye!" Xiao Yao said fiercely.

"Thanks to Childe's trust, Gao Yuan will be grateful for the report, and Childe's orders are of course obedient! Even if you lose your life, you will protect the safety of your son, and never let others hurt your son's cold hair! Gao Yuan immediately knelt down and kowtowed, swearing allegiance to Xiao Yao.

"Of course, it's easy to talk about it, but it's hard to do it!" Then Xiao Yao showed a wicked smile: "Okay, now I will give you the first order, you shave your hair!" ”

"Shaved your hair?" Gao Yuan is even more blind.

"Yes, shave your head, look at you dirty, it's disgusting to look at! Master Li, take him down to take a shower first, change into clean clothes, and then shave his head! Xiao Yao waved his hand and commanded.

"This, childe, the body is skinny, and the parents are subjected! How can you shave your hair casually! I'm not a monk! Gao Yuan couldn't figure it out, in this era, hair is really not something that can be cut casually.

"In this blacksmith's workshop, everyone has to shave their heads! If you want to be my subordinate, of course you have to cut your hair, and you still have to obey me just now, what? Regret it now? Xiao Yao squinted at Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan looked around and really found that the blacksmiths in the blacksmith workshop were all shaved heads! At first, Gao Yuan thought that the blacksmith workshop was not manpowered, and he caught a monk from the temple as a handyman, but now he took a closer look and found that not only those apprentices, but even the teachers and fathers were bareheaded!

"How can you be so unfilial, how can your hair be easily shaved!" Gao Yuan was amazed.

"Of course you have to shave, this is a blacksmith's workshop, there are sparks everywhere, what if you have your hair and you have a fever? Shaved, it is convenient and safe, and it will not grow lice, which is good for your health! Xiao Yao said it reasonably.

At the beginning, he asked everyone to cut their hair, but Xiao Yao was besieged by everyone, and even his father threatened him with death and refused to cut his hair, so Xiao Yao asked him to stretch out his hands and ask him why his fingernails can be cut, but his hair can't be cut, and his fingernails are not born by your father? Everyone was really stunned, what kind of crooked reasoning is this! In the end, I still gave way to everyone, my hair had to be cut, and my beard didn't have to be cut.

As a result, after a few months, everyone got used to the bald head and discovered its benefits: they can take a shower more often, they don't have to spend time taking care of their hair, and they don't have lice. Afraid of jokes? It's okay to bring a hat when you go out.

Half an hour later, Gao Yuan stood in front of Xiao Yao with a big bald head, wearing a new suit, and looking like he wanted to die.

"Well, yes, it's human, come in with me!" Xiao Yao turned around and took Gao Yuan into the most mysterious forbidden area of the blacksmith's workshop, you must know that this experimental room has not even been entered by Master Li a few times.

"There's no one else here, and it's the last test for you, I don't trust someone who hides a secret! Right, what are you hiding from the truth? Xiao Yao sat behind his desk, holding the musket in the cabinet in his hand!

Xiao Yao is not so bold, he dares to get along alone with someone he doesn't know and his martial arts are so strong, and he is also mysterious, he won't believe that he is sincere because of his few words! However, he still shaved off his hair obediently, and the first test was passed.

Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, and finally knelt down on his feet, and said respectfully to Xiao Yao: "Childe is wise, since you have promised to be loyal to your son, Gao Yuan really shouldn't hide anything from his master, Gao Yuan will tell Gongzi my secret!" ”

"Gao Yuan is a native of Qi State, and even the Gao clan royal family of Qi State! Grandfather is Gao Shen, the half-brother of Gao Huan, the ancestor of Qi State, and his father is Gao Shen's youngest son, so now Gao Zhan, the emperor of Qi State, is Gao Yuan's cousin! ”
