Chapter 338: The Troubles of Cliff Mountain

"So, Senior Brother Xianfeng was very surprised to make such an arrangement, and I couldn't make such an exquisite arrangement by myself!"

Li Zhi's words came from the heart, at least in a short period of time, he couldn't think of such an arrangement, because he didn't understand the status of the Laojun Palace in the Tang Dynasty at this time.

Li Shao approvingly added, "The key is that if Dao Master Chengbi joins in, and can invite a half-step Grandmaster realm powerhouse out of the mountain, the future Tianji Pavilion will have a safety guarantee." ”

Li Zhi had heard Xianfeng talk about it before, and his own identity as a cultivator was not disguised, but what the specific realm was, only a few people in the Laojun Palace knew, and only the three deputy hosts could detect it when they were promoted to the broken relationship, of course, under the premise that Xianfeng intentionally revealed it.

For example, Li Shao and other people who do not belong to the Laojun Palace have always thought that the first-level master realm of Envy Feng is the highest cultivator in this sect.

Although the relationship between Li Shao and Laojun Hall has gone further since Li Zhi appeared, this deliberate concealment is not a matter of trust or distrust, but a necessary means of self-protection for every cultivation force.

For example, Li Zhi had never heard of the location of Xianfeng's master, and before that, he might have thought that the Laojun Palace was all that this person had, but after knowing the existence of Chengbi Lao Dao, he guessed that the Laojun Palace had another support behind him.

"I didn't expect the host to invite Chengbi seniors!" Mingxin followed Li Shao's train of thought and said, "Actually, that old man has been obsessed with refining weapons for many years, and the host has always wanted to open a refining faction for him, and Mr. Li can be said to have hit their weak underbelly. However, the emergence of the Qiankun bag is indeed worthy of such fanfare, because it already has the significance of founding a sect. ”

Li Shao opened his mouth several times on the galloping horse, and the hesitant look on his face made Li Zhi aware of the embarrassing words he couldn't say.

So he smiled and said: "Brother Botao, don't worry now, there is a shortage of refining materials in the Qiankun bag, all of which are extremely precious and rare things, fortunately, Uncle Chengbi knows where there are still some, and when the Tianji Pavilion is established, the first batch will be refined for you and a few hosts!" ”

"I know that the refining method of the Qiankun bag is top secret, but if there are several materials that can be proposed, if you want to come up with a way together, there may be unexpected surprises!"

Hearing Li Zhi's promise, Li Shao was a little embarrassed under the excitement, so he said this.

Li Zhi nodded, "Time is too urgent, I haven't really discussed this matter with the old man, I think I will propose some strange shortages to be helped by my family, and then I will inevitably trouble Brother Botao." ”

The reason why I agree with this idea is that Li Shao and Li Botao's identity is convenient, there is no place more complete than the palace treasure house, as a high-level person of the forbidden army and guard, as the leader of the forbidden army and guard, there is always a convenient way to enter.

What's more, many of the uses of materials are currently unknown to ordinary people, and once the Qiankun bag is introduced, there is no shortage of such experts in the palace, and it will be difficult to find something from it at that time.

Including Zuo Yunzuo, the general of the Nangong Forbidden Guard, Li Qi and Li Fanghua, the secretary of the military department, and Li Hao and Li Changlin, who have mysterious identities, are all the targets of Li Zhi's next request for help.

One person is not prosperous when he picks up firewood, and the flame is high when everyone picks up firewood, before the Qiankun bag is known to the outside world, he still attaches great importance to the truth that a name is a point to ask for a point, and the strength of more people will be greater.

The three of them talked all the way, and soon returned to the Jiang family compound, the original acres of empty space outside the courtyard have long been gone, and have been pulled up by a tall wall, and a field has been opened up in the back field to dry all kinds of animal skins, and the ironware workshop is also arranged there.

Li Yixing went straight to the workshop, and it was surrounded by shelves, all of which were supported by various animal bones, densely covered with animal skins.

At present, only a few apprentices in Jiangshan are tinkling and pounding something, and the purpose of Li Zhi's coming here is to build a new type of Tang knife in batches.

Through the special formula and forging method provided by Li Zhi, the imperial court has proposed the first batch of test products to the workshop to meet the needs of the army's Tang knife upgrading.

With the order, there are also the blacksmith masters of the subordinate of Cliff Mountain Burigude, with this small workshop, it cannot be used for the entire Tang Dynasty weapons, and in the future, the right to build Tang knives will all be handed over to the mysterious royal guards of Cliff Mountain.

Before coming, the eldest brother of Burigud, Na Risong, had already agreed to come here, and before the three of Li Zhi could dismount, the adjutant Haas Erdun was the first to greet him.

"Mr. Li, there are five baggage carts from Cliff Mountain, and I brought some good animal skins to the Jiang family by the way, and another cart of jade is for Mr.!"

Has's attitude was very respectful, Li Zhi brought a lot of development prospects to the army on the cliff mountain, and just a complete advanced forging technique was enough to benefit them for several generations.

Although the cart of precious natural white jade was worth a lot of money, it did not make anyone in the nomads there feel reluctant, although they knew that the white jade products developed by Zhengqing Wenqitang were extremely expensive.

Since it is a nomadic tribal army, the soldiers and civilians there are very good at hunting, and Lingshan is located in the deepest part of Zhongnan Mountain, so those carts of animal skins and furs will naturally not be ordinary goods.

The name of the country has already fallen there, and as long as the Cliff Mountain Arsenal is built, it will go there to develop, so the ironware workshop in the Jiang family compound has naturally become a training point for Tang Dao to build.

After briefly introducing a few people, Haas Erdun pulled Li Zhi aside: "There is an unexpected trouble at the moment, the prefects of the Ten Dao Military Mansions and even several state and provincial governors are also involved, and they are currently concentrating on going to Luoyang City, and they want to personally ask the Holy Lord for orders and contract the authority to forge the Tang Sword in the future." The Sanzhou Festival made Li Liang and Li Shoulin rush to it one step earlier, but even because of the arsenal, he did not have an advantage in going on this trip, after all, the existence of the arsenal is top secret, and because of the existence of the tribal army, the government army and the vassal army outside the surname Li have always been disliked, this time those people united, obviously there was a conspiracy! ”

The creation of Tang Dao is a big business, the quality of the finished product is the most advanced technology in the world today, hundreds of thousands of military needs, but it means that it is the largest order volume in a single world, and its influence will directly lead to the production of Fang immediately become the world's largest military factory.

The interests are self-evident, and it is inevitable that the ten military governments will be red and hot, and once they are inherited, the merits of the military governors under them will be greater than the sky, which is the main reason why the troops of the Central Forbidden Army and the feudal towns are all alarmed.

Although the military department is currently in Chang'an City, this matter is no longer a matter that one ministry can decide, so these forces united and went to Luoyang City to ask the emperor for his life.

After Li Zhiwen heard this, not only did he not worry, but he said happily: "Brother Bu didn't come over, is it because of this matter?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't! The commander was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he didn't close his eyes for a few days, and rushed to Luoyang three days ago. ”

"Is there a way to get in touch with them in the first place?"

"That's no problem, there are a few secret places along the way to keep you safe!"

"That's good! Blame me for being too busy during this time and neglecting to consider this matter! In fact, if we are more flexible, we will benefit more! You see, as long as you can hold the first batch of military orders, such a large demand, it is not realistic to rely on one or two alone, and the only reliable way is to balance interests! Moreover, the purpose of the Cliff Mountain Forging Base is not only Tang Dao, but even with the gradual satisfaction of military needs, the creation of knives is dispensable. Our purpose is to forge the best quality steel in the world, and with it, we will have everything in the future of the Datang Army. Whether it's a vehicle or an artillery car, including an arquebus that will be developed soon, you need that kind of special steel! There are also a variety of large bow carriage crossbow carts, which are necessary for the siege of the city in the future, and a carriage and horse can be exchanged for hundreds of Tang knives. ”

"I have to say that the prospects described by Mr. Li are quite vast and exciting, but those things should still be under development, and with all due respect, how can they sound a little unrealistic?"

Li Zhi was not unhappy with Haas Erdun's straightforwardness, "Then I will give you a thorough understanding in advance, I now have a complete set of the best quality steel forging process, and the guns are also semi-finished products, including the special gunpowder formula, which can be developed in a few months!" As for the preliminary design of the large bow carriage ballista, although it is still in the drawing paper, I am confident that it will be built, but it cannot be put into practice without special steel! Therefore, at the moment, there is no hurry to get all the items on the horse together, step by step, the first batch of Tang knives is only for craft drills and silver sound accumulation, and compared with more benefits obtained, the harmonious coexistence between the Tang Dynasty army is more important, which is more important, at this time, do not be lost by interests! ”

"I seem to understand a little, what Mr. Li means is that it is enough to have first-hand profits, and in the future, the forging process can be used to replace the unity of the military, and the supply of Tang knives is not something that one or two military factories can undertake?"

"This is a superficial article, we can't pay for the secret formula for free, first of all, others must believe us, in fact, we are forcing the first batch of orders to obtain! Then, after the frenzied joining in, it was extremely effective in concealing our true purpose, and the guns were not just made by anyone, and the only special gunpowder needed was a huge problem, and we had far more benefits than we do now! ”

As Li Zhi whispered a detailed explanation to himself, the joy on Has's Erdun face became more and more obvious.

He knew in his heart that no matter the emergence of more advanced weapons, the development of firearms alone would be enough to change the entire world war situation, and its scientific and technological content was incomparably powerful, even if it would not be produced in large quantities, it would be a deterrent force that shocked the world.

Because of this, it is inevitable that the name will be passed on to history, and at that time, it cannot be said that the meaning and practicality of the Tang knife are no longer there, purely commercially speaking, at least there is not much benefit to be desired, and firearms are the only existence in the future, and the meaning of which is now terrifying!

"Mr. Li, in this case, do I need to rush back immediately and inform the Grand Commander? But just relying on the flying pigeon's biography can't tell it in such detail. ”

Barely able to suppress the surging passion in his heart, Haas Erdun's joy and sorrow.

"I don't need to go into too much detail, just tell us what we want! In addition, inform Brother Bu to discuss the strategy with the Shoulin Jiedu envoy as soon as possible, so that others can not detect the existence of our confidence, and we must try to show anger and impatience, so that the two of them can talk about it as a business, and do not show generosity! ”
