That night, before going to bed, Xue Yue asked, "How do you know that kind of flower can be used as medicine?" ”

Pang Tong put his hands on the back of his head, lay on the mat, and said, "Of course I know, I know everything. ”

Xue Yue, who was sitting on the bamboo mat, looked at him by the light of the bowl lamp and said, "You are such a strange person. And they know how to make iron. ”

"The commander of one side does not know how to develop the economy."

"Cut, I don't necessarily know Cao Cao, Sun Quan or something. You're like a doctor, you know even medicine. ”

Pang Tong knew that there was no bottom to ask this kind of question, and in the end he couldn't say why he knew, so he could only lie at that time. But it seems that it is very difficult to lie to Xue Yue, so he just talks nonsense and fools the past.

The next day, he continued to direct the men of the village to do things. He had everyone dig a big hole in the big open space in the middle of the village, and build it with stones around it.

Pang Tong pointed to the semicircle on the ground with a diameter of more than two zhang and said, "This is a simple earth hearth. Over the next few days, he asked the villagers to find a large amount of charcoal and come back.

Under the scorching sun, men were throwing charcoal into the hearth, and women and children were watching from afar. Many people's eyes were full of suspicion, and some even thought that this outsider was teasing everyone. However, in the morning of this day, a large amount of blood flowed from the lower bodies of the women who drank the potion, and they almost collapsed, but they still survived. The people of the tribe firmly believed that the herb, which Pang Tong called "cloud saffron", had destroyed the seed of the enemy. Therefore, the man is very cooperative with Pang Tong's ironmaking, and he is full of enthusiasm.

The charcoal was thrown into the hearth, and Pang Tong did not think that such an effect would be the best. So he asked the patriarch to send someone to the city to buy a cart and coal. But it took a lot of time, and the people of the clan went to the city once like thieves, and they were all sneaky, for fear of being touched by other tribes. But in the end, the task was completed, and the coal was dumped into the hearth. Then the broken iron was thrown in and covered with it. Pang Tong took out the fire fold he had just used from the package and lit some dead leaves and wood. The burning wood eventually set the charcoal and coal on fire. With the help of nature's wind, they burned, a red color like the male organs of a hound in heat. After heating, the crushed iron is reduced to pure iron, which resembles a lump of sponge iron.

People watched the miracle from afar, and they were amazed. Although this phenomenon is nothing in Pang Tong's opinion. As a result, the people of the Yejin tribe obtained irregular lumps of iron mixed with a lot of impurities. But they don't know what they can do with these things yet. The next day, Pang Tong asked them to start building the forge house. Since the clan still lacked basic equipment, and Pang Tong was afraid that they would not have money to buy food and other things, he took out the five gold bars he had with him and gave them to Jin Bei, which surprised the elderly patriarch very much.

"Guest from afar, what kind of character are you?" Jin Bei looked at him very suspiciously. "There is no hope for a nation as weak as ours, why help us?"

Looking at his wrinkled and swarthy face, Pang Tong said indifferently: "I am a person who wants to help the weak, it's as simple as that." Please go to the city and buy the best hammers and anvils back. Also, please don't use that outrageous name, my name is Feng Xia. He knew that most of the people in Southwest Yi did not use the Han name, so he didn't make it up again.

Pangtong's gold was also very valuable in the city, and the men of the clan successfully bought back a batch of hammers and anvils. Then, Pang Tong handed over the next layout to everyone. Behind the men who were trying hard, he kept repeating the essence of the forge: "Heating is to create embryos, to add carbon." You use hammers to forge repeatedly in order to shape and refine the iron. Before forging, the iron embryo should be heated, and it will become soft after heating, and then the iron embryo will be deformed by forging on the anvil. Heating and forging are repeated several times. Quenching with water is to increase the hardness and toughness of the iron embryo. ”

In this way, the sound of "jingling" continued to come out in Dazhai. Soon the first batch of seemingly rough long swords took shape, and Pang Tong taught them to open the blades. The hilt and body of these swords are integrated, which seems to be rough, but Pang Tong believes that this can be used normally. After slashing at the tree poles, the men screamed. This kind of weapon made by himself is extremely sharp and very hard, and it is much better than the bronze tools used in the village. Moreover, these bronzes were also bought from the city, and the price was very high. After learning about the great role of the mines in the north of the village. Pang Tong made them build a thousand swords and armed them.

Seeing the soldiers holding those sharp weapons, Jin Bei exclaimed to Pang Tong, who was holding his hands on his chest: "I finally believe in you!" ”

Pang Tong asked Jinda to find out the news for him in the city and the surrounding area. When Kinda returned, he went down to the house at night and said to him, "The whole south is reversed! ”

Seven tribes led by the most powerful Yongchang County Taishou Yonghong in the south rebelled. In addition to Yongchang County, it also includes Zhu Bao, Zhu Bao, Zhu Ti County, Gaoding, Yuewang, Yunnan, Liaoduo, and Kunze. Due to their sudden joint army, Liu Bei was caught off guard, and hastily formed a defense line of 100,000 people in Nanyu County to block the rebel army with a strength of 800,000 from moving north.

Pang Tong thought to himself, if he didn't leave Luoyang, but waited a little longer, would it be smoother to attack Yizhou when there was chaos in the south of Yizhou? This question was denied by him, and he estimated that this rebellion would soon be put down, and Zhuge Liang, as a military advisor, should not have considered that these southern officials were difficult to control. Everything is developing naturally, and he is already here, so he will do something for the Yejin clan first.

After he ensured that there were soldiers armed with 1,000 swords as a defensive force, Pang Tong began to put forward higher requirements for the tip, tip, blade, and spine of forged swords, and strengthened the shaping technology of sword hilt and sword pavilion forming in forging. The process took eight months, after all, everyone is not familiar with the forging yet. Pang Tong had the women use bamboo to make huge fans to fan the hearth, so that iron could be made even when there was no wind.

Pang Tong began to teach everyone how to make arrows made of iron arrowheads, which was much easier than making swords. Thanks to the mastery of the technique, the hammer and anvil were built by their own hands. The whole tribe entered the stage of the development of iron tools. Jin Bei was amazed, and he no longer had any vigilance against Pang Tong. He gathered everyone by the hearth.

It was evening, and everyone was supposed to go to dinner. But Jin Bei insisted on calling everyone over. He cleared his throat and said in a loud voice, "I trust this phoenix chick from afar very much. Thanks to the selfless help of this Han Chinese, we have learned a lot of superb skills ourselves. It's unimaginable. I believe that under his teaching, we can learn more about the excellent skills of the Han people. So, today I have decided to lend him the rights of the patriarch for the time being. Can you agree? ”

At first, many people were a little skeptical that this was the right thing to do. But more people cheered, and people's doubts were cooled. Pang Tong stood behind Jin Bei and said with a solemn face: "I'm not here to fool you, believe me." The rights of this patriarch are only lent to me, and Jinbei is still your patriarch. But from now on, you all have to listen to me, I will make everyone stronger, and pay off all that the Mueller owe us! ”

There was a brief silence, then cheers.

Xue Yue stood behind Pang Tong, staring at the majestic figure of this man surrounded by cheers, and fell into deep self-absorption.
