Li Mu was also taken aback by the sharpness of this sword, but when he heard Dugu Jiu's exclamation, he quickly put away his surprised expression, and when he turned around, he already had an indifferent expression of 'Ji Cao Be' 6. fell in Dugu Jiu's eyes, which was even more unfathomable.

Li Mu flicked the sword body with his fingers, and the sword immediately emitted a crisp hum, and the sound was as clear as a golden stone.

"This sword contains meteoric iron, which can only be counted as a sword embryo, but after I forged it, it has exerted the characteristics of meteoric iron, and now it has become a fierce, indestructible, and sharp blade that sharpens iron like clay! Now that it's been reborn, it's no longer appropriate to call it its original name, so you might as well give it a new name. ”

Dugu Jiu hurriedly said: "Is it the eldest brother who gives this sword a new life, or the eldest brother will take it." ”

"Well...... Li Mu didn't shirk it, he groaned for a while, and said, "Since you and I have become brothers, I won't hide it from you when I am the eldest brother." Although my brother and I don't know martial arts, I am a weapon master. In the process of researching and forging weapons, I also have some of my own experience of various weapons. In my opinion, the sword is no more open and closed than other blades. For those who use swords, moves are very important. But if you are too immersed in the moves, you will invisibly build a barrier for yourself, and it will be even more difficult to go further. If my brother guessed correctly, you are in this situation now, and you haven't improved in martial arts for a long time, right? ”

Dugu Jiu didn't expect that Li Mu still knew martial arts, and he broke through the crux of his problem in one sentence, and hurriedly said: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, half a year ago, my swordsmanship stagnated!" ”

Li Mu took the beef jerky handed over by Li Chongyi and stuffed it into his mouth to replenish his physical strength, and said while chewing: "You, you still haven't understood the true meaning of swordsmanship. What is the most important thing about fighting against people? Is it the elegance of tricks? Definitely! Play against people, and the most important thing is to win! How to defeat the opponent quickly and with minimal effort is the essence of swordsmanship. When you're just starting out, it's not wrong to learn moves. But if you think about it, you learn the moves, and others learn the moves. You recognize the move and know how to break it, and when you use it yourself, others also know how to break it, so how can you beat others? ”

Dugu Jiu nodded heavily and said, "Big brother is absolutely right, so I've been working hard to make my moves faster." As long as I move faster than my opponent, I can win! ”

"It's a good idea, but it doesn't take you any further."

Li Mu handed the sword to Dugu Jiu and said, "If you are fast, the opponent can also be fast." As long as you have a move in mind when you make a move, you will have a flaw. If you want to keep yourself from flaws, you can only forget about the moves, only focus on the weaknesses of your opponent, and fight hard. You can see through his moves, but he can't see your moves, and you can be invincible only if you have no moves. ”

Dugu Jiu said ignorantly: "But how to defend with such an attack?" ”

"If you can see through the opponent's moves, take advantage of the situation, and expect the enemy to come first, and then strike first. The moves are all offensive, and the enemy has to defend, of course he doesn't have to defend. As he spoke, Li Mu pointed to Li Chongyi, who was bored next to him, and said, "Tell me, what move did you use when the big axe swept over that day after the two of you faced each other?" How do you feel? ”

Dugu Jiu thought back to the situation at that time, and there was still a little chill on his spine. At that time, his feeling was three words, he was going to die. In front of him, he was covered by the shadow of an axe, and it was pitch black and he couldn't escape.

Dugu Jiu seemed to understand what Li Mu meant, and said, "I understand, is the eldest brother saying, let me learn to be a big one?" ”

"Yes and no." Li Mu smiled and said, "You are different from the big one, he is born with divine power. And he has never learned martial arts, any moves he uses are just out of instinct, and there are no tricks to speak of. But with the blessing of his innate divine power, you can't prevent every move, and you can't keep it. So every move he attacks is a killing move, and within the range of the giant axe, no one is his opponent. Although you don't have innate powers, you can still learn from experience. As long as you can replace defense with offense, there are no moves to win, and with your sharp blade, your swordsmanship will be more sophisticated. ”

Li Mu said and said, "In order to let you better understand the gist of winning without a move, I named this sword 'Nameless'. The sword is nameless, and the move is invisible. Comprehend it well and break through the existing realm, and it will be just around the corner. ”

"The sword is nameless, and the move is invisible......" Dugu Jiu muttered, and the whole person seemed to be stupid.

Pastor Li sighed and thanked Mr. Jin. If you haven't seen the Condor Heroes, where did you make up this cloud and mountain fog cover? Suddenly, Li Mu came up with a very interesting brain hole, Dugu is also surnamed Dugu, should Dugu Jiu be Dugu to seek defeat, Dugu Jiujian is based on his name, right?

After a while, Li Mu was tired. asked Li Chongyi to send the stupid Dugu Jiu back to rest, Li Mu packed up his tools and went back to the backyard. instructed the maid to boil water and take a bath, and slept with his wife and concubine in his arms, and the night passed beautifully.

Early the next morning, Li Mu didn't sleep again. Because according to the agreement, today is the time for the first batch of shareholders to pay the subscription fee, Li Mu agreed on the location in the Ministry of Industry, in the new official office of the Ministry of Industry, Li Mu also built a huge cellar, claiming to be for ice storage.

In ancient times, there were no refrigerators, and if you wanted to use ice in the summer, you could only store it in the winter. Dig a huge cellar and cut ice from the river and bring it in, so that if the ice is big enough and large enough to be used in the summer. Not only the Ministry of Industry, but also the major mansions in Chang'an City are equipped with ice cellars. Li Mu's Zhulu Hou Mansion also has a small one.

At that time, Li Mu made this request, but it did not attract attention, and it was only a benefit for Li Mu to sympathize with the officials of the Ministry of Industry. But during the construction, Li Mu instructed Yuwengui to expand the scale of the cellar, and the materials were also extremely luxurious. The one-foot-thick bluestone wall, the foundation of the sand shook by water, the glutinous rice mixed with stone powder to hook the joints, after solidification, is as solid as a rock, and its strength is stronger than the concrete of later generations. If it's just used as an ice cellar, there's no need for it. But Li Mu insisted on this, and Yuwengui didn't dare to say anything, anyway, the money was not out of him, so he could do whatever he wanted.

It wasn't until today that Yu Wengui looked at the long line of 'money cars' at the entrance of the engineering department, and he could be regarded as understanding the meaning of Li Mulong's 'ice cellar'. Shocked in his heart, he couldn't think about it, could it be that a few months ago, Li Mu would have been where he is today? If that's the case, it's scary!

Li Mu didn't arrive, and no one dared to act rashly. They all looked at the door of the fang, expecting Li Mu to come early. Finally, the three Li Mu brothers came over on horseback. Yu Wengui hurriedly greeted him and saluted from afar.

Li Mu got off the horse and said with a smile: "Yuwen Langzhong, you don't have to be formal, now I am no longer from the Ministry of Industry." It's just a borrowing of the ice cellar of the Ministry of Industry, and I'm going to blush if you're so polite. ”

Yu Wengui hurriedly said: "What did Master Hou say, the entire workshop was built by you, and without you, there would be no Ministry of Industry today." When it comes, you are the backbone of the Ministry of Industry, up and down the Ministry of Industry, only the Hou Ye is the head. ”

Li Mu pretended to be displeased and said, "Huh! That's not right, where did you put Li Shangshu? ”

Yuwen Gui said with a smile: "This is what Lord Shangshu said, and as a subordinate, I should obey it." ”

Li Mu laughed.

While greeting and walking, I soon came to the entrance of the ice cellar. This ice cellar is said to be an ice cellar, but anyone who sees it can see that it is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. This thing in front of you looks like an ice cellar. I saw that this building, most of them are underground, only half a person's high four walls are exposed on the ground, there are no windows, the top of the cellar is a herringbone ridge double slope, it is also made of bluestone, the interior is arched, very much like a city gate hole buried in the ground.

There is only one entrance, and this entrance also has a mechanism made of stone slabs. What does an ordinary ice cellar do with such a mechanism comparable to a burial chamber?

In the face of everyone's curiosity, Li Mu did not have the slightest explanation. When this ice cellar was built, he was still a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and he paid out of his own pocket, and he had money, and he was happy, couldn't he be happy?

Without further ado, Li Mu sat behind the table that Yuwen Gui had prepared a long time ago, raised a charcoal basin, dispelled the chill, and began to collect money into the warehouse! All the officials of the Ministry of Works, regardless of the department, were brought in to fill the strong men. Three people in a group, one bookkeeping, two counting, replaced. Divided into five groups, work started at the same time.

From time to time, the sound of an argument can be heard.

"This string of money is not good, it is not all Kaiyuan Tongbao, and it is mixed with five baht coins, it will not work!"

"Why can't it be, you can have the same flower ...... in the West Market"

"If you can't say it, you can't do it, the rules set by Hou Ye, I will act according to orders, you either take it and change it, or tell Hou Ye about it, you can't talk to us!"

Next to the other gang.

"The value of this silver will be discounted by three."

"On what basis? Tell you, I'm from the Shenguo Mansion! ”

"Not at any house. Thy silver is not of sufficient colour. I can only discount the price, I will do what I am told, either you take it and change it, or you will tell Hou Ye! ”

The sound of disputes is endless. But Li Mu didn't care, he had to collect the money in full. Otherwise, who will make up for the shortfall and let him make up for it? Even if he has money, he can't be this wronged man!

Under the nitpicking of officials of the Ministry of Industry, many people took money that was not up to standard. wanted to be accommodating, and even bribed with money, but all failed. Under Li Mu's nose, who dares to accept bribes. In desperation, if there is a problem, they have to go back to the house to change. It is impossible to withdraw shares, and this part of the loss is a lot of money.

Shareholders feel wronged because there is a lot of money in the market. It's not for them to decide, it's for the social environment. Although after Li Yuan ascended the throne, Kaiyuan Tongbao was cast to replace the Sui five baht, but the amount of minting and the demand are not equal at all, so there are still a lot of Sui five baht circulating on the market, and even in areas far away from Chang'an, the proportion of Sui five baht is more than Kaiyuan Tongbao.
