Chapter 43: Advertising Effects

"Meet the Prime Minister!"

"Thanks to the prime minister's gift, the present day of Funiu Mountain, the subordinate selects the best steel, specially builds a sword, a treasure armor, and a special dedication to the prime minister, in order to repay the prime minister's generous gift!"

The Han system is a five-day holiday, the day before the day is a big court, the prime minister's mansion also has a regular meeting before the holiday, the blacksmith shop in the mountains smoked and burned for several days, deliberately rushed to this day before the excitement, Wang Hou finished the sword and armor, and then presented it on the day of the Prime Minister's Mansion party.

This is called the maximum advertising effect!

The output is not enough, even if he is involved in the weapons industry, he is not taking the route of mass production, but the route of niche boutique luxury, the rich people in this era are not as many as in later generations, under the command of Prime Minister Cao Cheng of the Central Plains, one-third of his potential buyers can appear in this conference hall, of course, he has to earn enough eyeballs.

Seeing Wang Hou attending the meeting, Guo Jia obviously rolled his eyes, and on the side, Yang Xiu, who was the chief secretary of Wang Hou's "political enemy", and Wang Lang, the staff sergeant, were full of disdain and disdain.

However, Cao Cao's expression was very strange, and in the face of Wang Hou's respectful tribute, he was silent for two or three seconds, and then he raised his sleeves to the guards around him with a little annoyance.

"Wang Lingguan has a heart, submit it!"

It's no wonder that Cao Cao is a little unhappy, this time it's him Wang Houzhen who is not very good at being a man! The steel he refined was of high quality, and it had spread in Xudu, and then Cao Hongjie played with the big sword he gave to the newly refined tiger for several days, and you didn't even say anything about the old leader who promoted you and rewarded you, is there such a heavy color and light leader as you?

Fortunately, now Mr. Cao can use him, and Cao Hongjie's relationship is also very special, otherwise, it is estimated that Wang Hou and Lin Chong would have already been so similar to Lin Chong that he didn't know which remote military state fort to send to the army to show the forage field.

But fortunately, Wang Hou can be regarded as enlightened now, and the thing was presented to Mr. Cao, who first opened the box containing the sword, grabbed the heavy broadsword, and pulled it out suddenly, with a buzz, the three-finger-wide blue-black long sword was suddenly revealed in Cao Cao's eyes.

The sword body is full of blue and black interlaced lines, and there are a string of water-like burning lines on the blade, Cao Cao is not a weak scholar, he has personally been on the battlefield, cut down people's ruthless characters, and he is so excited that he suddenly stood up and waved the big sword forward in person, in the buzzing sound of the sword, the compelling sword light made several Wenchen generals next to each other all look at each other, stood up from the futon in fear, dodged backwards, and finished a circle of sword dances, extremely chic A sword was returned to the sheath, and he breathed slightly steadily, Cao Cao laughed and patted the sword.

"What a sword!"

"Congratulations to the lord for obtaining this sword, and from now on he will be able to overcome obstacles and help my Han family!"

I can't see that Xun Yu, this kid, has the same virtue as his uncle Xun Yu on weekdays, and he has a rigid poker face, but at the critical moment, this sycophant is faster than Guo Jia! Obviously, he was a step slower and let him say the words, and glanced at him resentfully, Guo Jia also hurriedly hugged his fists.

"The Lord is prosperous! Swallow mountains and rivers! ”

"The lord wins!"

"The lord rules the country!"

At the beginning of the two of them, the sound of sycophants couldn't be stopped, and the military generals of Wenchen smiled and hugged their fists, and Cao Cao, who was papped with praise and applause, was all red with his old face, holding his sword and being complacent there, however, there was one who didn't open his eyes at this juncture! Suddenly, a magnetic baritone that was quite nice rang out in the crowd.

"My lord! I heard that you have two peerless divine weapons in Yitian Qinghong, and the sword offered by Lord Wang today is also superior, and the minister is curious, I don't know which is better between Yitian and this sword! Dare to ask the prime minister to open the eyes of our ministers! ”

Standing up is still a handsome guy, with a slender figure, a handsome face under the scarf, with good facial features and neat beard, quite a bit of a later generation of cream scholars, with a sense of elegance out of the ranks, he is leisurely clenching his fists.

But this sentence made the originally lively atmosphere instantly quiet, Xun Yu, who was smiling and shaking his head with his beard there, obviously stiffened his old face, and then turned his head a little blamed. And Cao Cao, who was holding the sword and enjoying the compliments of the ministers, the smile on his face also stiffened, and he barely managed to keep his smile.

It was Yang Xiu who spoke!

Different from the great Sinong Yang Feng, Yang Xiu is the son of the former Taiwei Yang Biao, and his status in the Hongnong Yang clan belongs to the top level, and Yang Xiu is as smart as a man, and he has made friends in Shilin, this time it is obvious that he is aiming at Wang Hou, who is rebellious and rebellious and has a holiday with the Hongnong Yang clan.

Unlike Dong Cheng, who chews the root of his tongue behind his back dryly and slanders, his skill of beating Wang Hou's face is also ingenious, isn't this Wang Hou offering a sword! Then he took out the Heavenly Sword and cut off the sword he offered, which naturally made him lose face.

And his cleverness lies in the fact that Cao Cao can't refuse what he says! As the saying goes, there is no first, and there is no second! Since Wang Houjin offered a sword, there must be a comparison of which sword is good! And his shouting, Cao Cao's subordinates such as Xiahou Yuan, Li Dianlejin, Xu Chu and other generals were also hoisted, under normal circumstances, Cao Cao would never sweep away the martial arts under his command for a sword.

As for his abrupt advance, it swept away Cao Cao's excitement! Yang Xiu didn't care!

He has a very famous story in history, a box of crisps!

Saibei presented a box of dairy products made of cheese to Cao Cao, and after tasting a bite, Cao was always very satisfied with the inscription of three words on it, but as soon as he turned around, this box of snacks was eaten up by Yang Xiu with a spoon and everyone.

Just like Wang Hou, Yang Xiu has Cao Cao very clearly, as long as he is talented! Useful! Cao Cao will definitely not kill him, and will keep him as much as possible!

This is called arrogance!

However, this time, Yang Xiu still slightly underestimated Wang Hou's status in Cao Cao's mind, and seeing him hugging his fists and inviting him, Mr. Cao did not agree immediately, but kept a smile and turned his face to Wang Houlai, and asked with a smile.

"Tuqiu, this sword you offer! How do you think this sword compares to Etienne? ”

This can be regarded as a step down for Wang Hou, after all, the Yitian Sword is famous, and it is a divine weapon that has been famous for decades, Wang Hou is soft, admitting that his sword is not as good as the divine soldier, this matter is over, it is better than his sword being cut in public and losing face.

However, Wang Hou is not a person who plays cards according to the routine, and he was stunned at the steps handed over by Mr. Cao, but scratched the back of his head with a simple and panicked face.

"That, Prime Minister, if you cut off the Yitian Sword, you don't have to pay for it!"

"Forehead ......"

I didn't expect that he could hold back this answer, even if the corners of Yang Xiu's mouth twitched this time, Mr. Cao was even more stunned for two or three seconds, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Compensation? Of course, there is no need to ask for compensation! If this sword really cut off Yitian, he would be glad that he had obtained a divine blade that surpassed the ancient soldiers! And I will reward you with a great deal of reward! ”

"Second, you hold the heaven of your true appearance, Wen Qian, you hold the sword of the way! Since Tuqiu is so confident, let's try it in court, whether the ancient sword has a long blade, or the current sword is better! ”

Xun Yu's eyelids couldn't help but jump a few times again when he heard this, good politicians never have a purpose, Cao Cao has something to say! Yitian sword is a treasure handed down from the Han Dynasty, and the sword presented by Wang Houjin is his Cao Cao Dynasty ginseng, if the current sword is better than the ancient sword, doesn't it mean that he Cao Cao is better than the Han family, can also replace it!

It's just that looking at the Yitian Sword that Cao Cao held out, Xun Yu's heart was relieved again, Yitian can be accepted by Cao Cao, which is naturally worthy of the name, and what ability does he have as a kid Wang Hou, who can forge a sword comparable to the Yitian Sword.

It is worthy of being a sword, it was pulled out by Xiahou with a hum, a century-old sword, but it is still cold and shining, sharp as new, Wang Hou's eyes are red and squinted, this sparkling degree, it is estimated that the steel contains chromium, and it will become stainless steel directly after forging, if you find out the forging site of the Heavenly Sword and use the local iron ore to forge weapons, then it will be sent!

In Wang Hou's saliva plan, Le Jin also suddenly pulled out the broadsword he offered, and the three-foot Qingfeng also buzzed, but compared to the glittering Yitian, his sword engraved with anti-rust patterns looked a little unsightly.

The two generals exhaled at the same time, and with a bang, the two swords were slashed together, only to hear a clang, sparks splashed everywhere, and the slender sword body broke in response to the sound, and was heavily rooted in the wooden floor.

"It can't be!"

For the first time, Cao Cao, Yang Xiu, Xun Yu, and even Xiahou Dun, who used the sword, were stunned, half of them leaned on the ground weakly and buzzed, and in Lejin's incredible touch, Wang Houjin's sword was only slightly rolled up a small piece, and the two swords were not at the same level at all!

For Wang Hou, this result had been expected for a long time, and he was blinking there with a pale face.

For the sake of public relations Cao Cao, how much effort he wasted on this sword, his wife is about to take it out! The whole sword has been more than 100 refining, Wang Yuan repeatedly folded it is estimated that it is not less than one hundred and thirty times, and also used the technology brought by Wang Hou from later generations, the spine of the sword is wrapped with harder and more pure cast iron, and the pattern of water ripples on the blade is the traces left after covering the soil and burning the blade, and the whole sword has also undergone the double quenching of water and oil, and it is estimated that it will be sold for one or two thousand yuan at this level of craftsmanship when it comes to future generations.

As for the Heavenly Sword, after all, it was a work made more than a hundred years ago, even if it was outstanding, that is, it was a good point to refine when refining, how could it be comparable to the sword that he carefully built with the coke high-temperature steel filling method?

This advertising effect is completely out! Even Yang Xiu's eyes were straight, Le Jin, Li Dian, Yu Ban and other generals of the Cao Army, staring at the sword offered by Wang Houjin, their eyes were all blazing, as for Guo Jia, he was even more useless, and he was about to flow out, a divine weapon, who doesn't love it?

In their big mouths in a daze, this sycophant opportunity finally came to Wang Hou, and he respectfully hugged his fists.

"Congratulations to the prime minister, congratulations to the prime minister, the prime minister's achievements are high, and even the clumsy sword of the lower officials has borrowed the momentum of the prime minister, and it is better than in the past! Following the prime minister, the lower officials are supremely glorious! ”

While patting the horse's ass, Wang Hou's eyes flew up, and he silently pasted the prayer on Cao Cao's face: Mr. Cao! For the sake of being so pleasing to you, marry me the girl of your eldest nephew and nephew's daughter, Hongjie!!

It's a pity that he was also called back to his senses by this sycophant, but then Mr. Cao simply pressed back with a cold look.

"Get out!"
