From a hot upstart in the army to an apprentice in an iron-smelting workshop, Li Chongjin has almost gone crazy in the past year or so...... Don't look at him as a martial artist, in fact, his mind is quite delicate, and he is very strong.

After accepting the supervision of craftsmen, Li Chongjin learned from Ye Hua to promote the division of labor and improve the efficiency of weapon production.

Frankly speaking, Li Chongjin did a pretty good job.

Don't look at the swords and kitchen knives he produces, it depends on whose kitchen knives it is. In fact, in the troubled times, there are wars all the time, not to mention weapons, that is, soldiers are consumables, it is good to have a knife, the big guys are pursuing good quality and low price, expensive weapons have been abandoned, and the Mo knife is lost because of this.

Unfortunately, Guo Weizhi is in the world, of course, he has to correct his past mistakes, and such a freak as Ye Hua has emerged to innovate the technology of iron-making, so that the cost has dropped significantly.

As a result, Li Chongjin has become a laughing stock through and through.

His mother is Guo Wei's fourth sister, the eldest princess of Funing, and for the sake of her son, she went to find Guo Wei and had a big fight with Guo Wei. Taking advantage of Guo Wei's personal expedition to the Southern Tang Dynasty, she went to the workshop again to bring her son home.

Facing the old lady, Li Chongjin was ruthless!

"Mother, the child will follow you back, don't think about raising your head in this life! You might as well kill the child! ”

The eldest princess of Funing was stupid, she couldn't believe her ears, "Silly child, what are you talking about?" This is your uncle's fault, if he dares to trouble you, my mother will give up this old life to fight with him! Mother beg, go home quickly, look at what a good child, after suffering such a great grievance, he is tortured so badly! ”

Princess Funing touched her son's dark face distressedly, and grabbed her rough hand again, her heart was about to break!

It's all the fault of the surname Ye, don't think that if you have Your Majesty's favor, you dare to come nonsense, I'm not done with you!

Among so many noble ladies in the capital, only the eldest princess of Funing and the Ye family have no contact, and the two sides are on the same page.

Li Chongjin knelt in front of the old lady, and his eyes were red.

"Mother, you don't want the child to suffer, let the child go back with you, but have you thought about it, if the child leaves, the child will be finished in this life, and in the future, it will still be a squire, a waste, and there will be no more future!"

The eldest princess of Funing looked at her son's stubborn face, and suddenly cried out.

She put her arms around Li Chongjin's neck and kept swinging her fists, pounding him in the back.

"Mother doesn't want you to get ahead, I don't want you to be promising! My mother just wants you to be safe and comfortable, what can you do when you are a gentleman? Have a mother take care of you! ”

The eldest princess of Funing said this on her lips, but she was also thinking about it in her heart.

Yes, if this is gone, what errand will Guo Wei give his son in the future?

I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything.

People in their twenties, who still have martial arts, are kept at home, and have nothing to do, and they can't say anything!

The eldest princess of Funing made a difficulty.

Li Chongjin gritted his teeth, "Mother, don't worry, the child has thought about it!" He wiped a handful of tears and sneered: "Don't think that I am suffering in the workshop, with the ability of a child, it won't be long before I can learn everything in the workshop, and when I learn well and have the ability, it will be the time for me to settle accounts with Ye Hua!" ”

Some people will be knocked down by difficulties, while others will become more and more courageous, it is obvious that Li Chongjin belongs to the latter, looking at her son's fighting spirit, the eldest princess of Funing rarely smiled.

She wanted to do something for her son.

Li Chongjin told the old lady that he didn't have to care about his affairs in the workshop, but he hoped that the old lady could buy the ordnance superintendent.

At the beginning, the imperial court sold the craftsman supervisor to the Dou family, and the ordnance supervisor was handed over to the Chai family.

Although the Dou family did not compete with Ye Hua, Dou Yujun had a good business, and got orders for the imperial court's spears and armor, coupled with the needs of the people, the workshop was very prosperous, second only to the champion workshop.

However, Chai Shouli was too incompetent, and after being driven to Luoyang, the ordnance supervisor was paralyzed.

originally had the largest production capacity and the strongest craftsmen, but it turned out to be half-dead, and many craftsmen were taken away by the Champion Fang and the Dou family.

Li Chongjin wanted to compete with Ye Hua, so he set his sights on the Ordnance Superintendent, and he asked the old lady to come forward and spend an ultra-low price of 300,000 yuan from the Chai family to get the Ordnance Superintendent.

The eldest princess of Funing is also quite willing to spend money, win people's hearts, and restore production capacity.

The current ordnance supervisor has stabilized, just waiting for one to be a family member!

Li Chongjin has been in the Champion Fang for more than a year, starting from ore processing, iron smelting, and iron striking, all the way to making swords, and then to crucible steelmaking!

He's learned it all over again!

Especially the crucible steelmaking, it was refreshing for him!

Waste pig iron, unqualified iron, put into the crucible, can actually smelt high-quality steel, simply turn waste into treasure, turn decay into magic.

He took out his saber, which was a hundred refining treasure knives, and used his strength to split the steel ingots that had been refined.

Sparks splashed everywhere, and only more than an inch of spleen went in, and the knife was useless!

Li Chongjin stared at the steel ingots on the ground, as well as the knife that cut the gap, and laughed loudly!

He saw the mute man at a glance, walked over a few steps, and bowed deeply.

"Dumb man, you are the best master craftsman in this workshop, you just need to nod your head, follow me to the ordnance prison, I will give you 10,000 wages, a three-entry courtyard, and I will give you 20 servants!"

Li Chongjin sneered: "Ye Hua's little bit of handwriting is far worse than me!" If you buy a house, you still have to pay for it, and you have to pay in installments, which is just a laugh! Good birds choose trees to perch on, and follow Ye Hua, there is no way out! ”

Li Chongjin stepped on the bench with one foot and said loudly: "For more than a year, let's work together and sweat together, Li knows the mind of the big guy best, who doesn't want to earn more, who doesn't want to live better!" Let's earn money by our ability and eat by our ability. Of course, whoever gives more will work for whomever he wants! All the craftsmen, as long as they promise to go to me, will be paid at least twice as much! ”

"Ye Hua is now the champion Hou, and he has hussar guards under him, and he is a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, but so what? How much energy can he have, staring at the workshop every day, I put all my heart on it, I don't believe in him! You big guys have to think about who you should follow in the future! ”

Li Chongjin did not hide it, digging into Ye Hua's corner.

He knew he was a little impatient, but he couldn't help it, and he was eager to vent the anger in his heart!

At the beginning, Guo Wei asked him to learn in the workshop and be able to create a qualified kitchen knife before leaving!

At this moment, Li Chongjin can not only make kitchen knives, but also make sabers, Mo knives, and even learn to make iron and steel! I don't dare to say how proficient he is, but it is more than enough to let him manage a workshop.

He can leave the workshop proudly, and before leaving, he has to teach Ye Hua a lesson!

Li Chongjin is unscrupulous, he has the ability, the family is rich, and he is Guo Wei's nephew, and the old lady is the eldest princess of Funing, and she has a backer.

No matter how you look at it, he is no worse than Ye Hua, so you really don't have to care about him.

Li Chongjin's arrogant virtue happened to be bumped into by Miss Fu San.

The third lady's eyes immediately narrowed into crescent moons, this was very fun and lively, she poked Ye Zhong's shoulder, "Hey, does your brother have a way?" ”

Ye Zhong rolled his eyes, "If you can't even put such a stupid person on the table, how can my brother still mix it, look at it!" He's not far from bad luck! ”

"Really?"

Fu San was a little suspicious, after all, she understood, Li Chongjin's mother is Guo Wei's sister, strictly speaking, people are closer than Chai Rong and Guo Wei's blood, Fu San doesn't dare to rely on his brother-in-law's power to come, as for Ye Hua, it seems that the difference is even farther, and the emperor is not on his side, what are the chances of winning?

Fu San held his chin, unable to think of any way.

At this moment, on the other side, a lazy voice sounded.

"Li Chongjin, have you learned to make kitchen knives? But you are virtuous, the dog's belly can't hold two taels of ghee, that is, the goods for cutting vegetables, and you can't do big things! ”

Ye Hua walked over with a smile.

Li Chongjin shouted viciously, "It's useless to play tricks!" Ye Hua, let me tell you, from today onwards, I will be in charge of the Ordnance Prison, and I will continue to poach your people and rob your business! Until you beat the Champions Workshop! ”

Li Chongjin smiled and said: "You have no choice, who made you the champion Hou!" You have to lead the troops, you have to fight, and you can't put all your mind on the workshop. Speaking of which, thank you very much, for more than a year, I have learned to be patient, and sooner or later you will lose! ”

Ye Hua nodded, "Oh, I really didn't see it, you still have a little ambition, not bad!" ”

"I don't need you to boast!"

"Hahaha, Li Chongjin, it's not enough to have ambition, you also have to have brains...... What are you calculating, I don't know? You're just trying to use what you've learned from me to defeat me in turn! It's a pity that you miscalculated! ”

Ye Hua squinted at Li Chongjin, "I know you don't believe it, it's okay, I'll show you something, and you will believe it!" ”

Ye Hua casually took out a thick paperwork, stuffed it to Li Chongjin, and told him that it was just sent by the third division.

Li Chongjin, who was suspicious of the letter, took it over, flipped two pages casually, his face suddenly changed, and the more he looked back, the more frightened he became, he suddenly became hideous!

"Ye Hua, you are a scoundrel!"

"Keep your mouth clean!" Ye Hua said politely: "I spent money, painstaking thoughts, and researched the technology, you want to copy it in vain, dream!" ”

What did Ye Hua come up with?

It is a reward for a major invention.

This was something he personally talked to Li Gu about.

The imperial court divided the production of munitions into three schools and competed with each other. Since they are all workshops of the Great Zhou, there must be rules, and they can't do anything by any means, right?

Ye Hua mentioned the most critical thing - patents.

The competition of the workshop is the competition of technology, and someone can't work hard to research, and someone will take it for nothing by plagiarism, right?

Li Gu was moved by Ye Hua's words, and he drafted a regulation and submitted it to Guo Wei.

For some key and major technologies, they should be protected and cannot be used privately without authorization...... The term of protection is tentatively set at 5 years, while the grant fee is 50 per cent.

In other words, Li Chongjin can use the crucible steelmaking method, but he has to give half of the benefits to the Champion Fang!

"Hahaha, Li Chongjin, didn't you just promise to dig the foot of the wall? If you offer a price casually, I won't believe it, and you will take half of your profits, and you still have the capital to compete with me! Ye Hua was arrogant, "Come on, let the horse come!" ”
