Took Xiangyi into the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith shop has been upgraded to the second level at the moment, after the upgrade, there has been no time to come, this time, I came to see how the armor is made now.

Walked in, a wave of heat rushed in, inside was the sound of knocking and beating, the blacksmith shop that rose to the second level, there were more people inside, there were more than 30 blacksmiths, some people made weapons, some people made armor, not like the past is a little deserted, there are heavy armor next to it, the dim candlelight in the house shines on the armor leaves, there are bursts of pale yellow halo, with a kind of forest cold, a heart shield on the chest is shiny, can be used as a bronze mirror, the iron helmet, with phoenix wings on both sides, worn on the head, The phoenix wings can also block the falling arrows, the chest heart shield can block most of the attacks on the chest, and the other parts are impermeable iron armor leaves, wearing and piercing the armor can not only keep the body flexible, but also the armor leaves of the body have a superimposed effect, and when moving, the nail leaves will have a stronger superimposed effect.

I looked at the output again, and the output has been increased to 50 month of chain armor and 50 month of armor, but I can quickly arm myself with a group of powerful soldiers, which is equivalent to the number of people trained in my own military camp every month.

Thinking about whether this output can be increased a little, but the two thousand taels of silver required for upgrading, forget it, the fortress is short of money now, let's come and upgrade next time, interrupted this idea, especially the pain of not looking at the plate armor. Plate Armor! Every man's dream, if you want to kill a knight in plate armor, you need to knock him unconscious first, and then cut the interface with a knife, or a certain archer is lucky enough to shoot him in the eye, a real tin can, wearing this armor, and equipping a tin can cavalry, a charge, it's like a tank crushing! But seeing the bunch of upgrade conditions in the back, I can only reluctantly give up this plan.

After watching for a while, I went to the firearms bureau again, and at this moment the firearms bureau was in full swing, and there was a jingling sound from inside, and the twenty blacksmith masters and twenty apprentices were making bird guns inside.

As soon as he walked in, a wave of heat rushed in, washing away the chill of autumn, and Cheng Mo used to put the steel bar wrapped in iron sheet in a mold with semicircular grooves to beat. There are also a few cubicles next to it.

Xiao Chuan was a little strange, looking at the compartment with a lock on it, inexplicably, there was no such thing when I came last time.

Old man Li and Cheng Mo outside saw Xiaochuan at the same time, and Old Man Li immediately ran over, his face full of pride, and he seemed to be very satisfied with the scale of the current firearms bureau.

Xiao Chuan pointed to the compartment strangely, and said, "Old man, what is in that compartment, why can't I see it, the last time I came, I remember where it seemed to be a place where the goods were stacked."

"Well" Old man Li's face was a little ugly, but Cheng Mo pouted, and said with disdain: "Hey, you can't see this, they are preparing to hide the master, who doesn't have two hands, these two hands are the ability to eat, who is willing to reveal it, then several masters have their own compartments, they build bird guns, and they will go there when they need to use their own unique skills, or special things." ”

Xiaochuan nodded and understood, they still don't want to share technology, hehe, I didn't expect that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were the same as modern times, they looked down on those who had no ability, and they liked those who had ability, and in the same way, their own unique skills, or the invention of molds that can increase production, etc., were all hidden, for fear of learning the past, just like those factories in previous lives, a machine had an accident, this person looked for that, that person then found his own master, and this person went to find his own master, Sometimes you can even find out seven or eight ancestors, why? Everyone's disciple is a hand (real people and real things, I have experienced it below)

This kind of thing is very difficult to solve now, do you really want to directly transfer a team of soldiers, put knives on their necks, and force them to teach them? This is okay, but in this case, it will also eliminate the possibility of others defecting to him in the future, if this matter spreads, who will dare to come over those craftsmen? You can't do things like killing chickens and collecting eggs.

A few people in those compartments heard the movement outside and walked out, they hurriedly saluted to Xiaochuan, with deference in their eyes, obviously very satisfied with the current life, for the creation of bird guns, they are very serious, never lazy, unlike ordinary guards, made for the imperial court, they take it and sell it, it is extremely sophisticated.

Looking at their honest and honest faces, they came to their own fortress to be conscientious, but as soon as they were asked to take out their housekeeping skills to share, it was more difficult than asking them to die, Xiaochuan was also helpless, it was really a group of old stubborns, and said: "Today I will announce a matter to that family, Master Cheng Mo, contribute his improved three-pointed seven-edged twist drill bit, and share it with everyone in the Firearms Bureau."

What the! The blacksmiths are unbelievable, on the one hand, they also know that Cheng Mo uses a powerful drill bit, which is different from theirs, and the boring is very convenient, but they didn't think that this guy was stupid enough to contribute his skills, and all the craftsmen looked at him with the same bad eyes as the old man Li, and the old man Li because of his apprentice, they thought that this guy must have a bad brain, and he didn't know about teaching the apprentice to starve to death to the master? Moreover, isn't that a violation of the rules?

They looked at each other with disdain, and they didn't want to be with this fool who broke the rules, and the Cheng Mo people were also strange, this technology was not invented by the lord, why did it become his now?

Xiao Chuan looked at their appearance, and said lightly: "Reward Master Cheng Mo, fifty taels of silver, and every time he uses this drill to create a bird gun in the future, he can get ten cents." “

Si ———— gasped for air, fifty taels of silver, what is the concept? They are making bird guns, twenty a year for one person, only forty taels, this is not the cost, this is equal to their money for a year regardless of the cost, and the latter one makes them even more red-eyed, ten dollars is less, how many bird guns can be made later, how many ten dollars?

The eyes that were disdainful just now have now turned into naked jealousy.

That Cheng Mo and all the people are surprised, isn't this invented by the lord? Cheng Mo glanced at the group of colleagues behind him, and when he saw their red eyes, he understood in his heart, wonderful, wonderful, such a simple plan can allow these craftsmen who retain their skills to show their skills without reservation, this kind of clever plan, I really don't know how the master's head grows.

The five or six blacksmiths behind him were all jealous, and they also thought of showing their own skills, but when they thought of how many years of their skills had been passed down to others, they were shaken.

Xiao Chuan looked at them, and knew what they thought, how many years had their technologies hidden, and it would definitely be difficult to accept them for a while, but when the time comes, as long as Cheng Mo's reward money arrives, and after the endless stream of patent fees is earned, the temptation of this kind of interest, I am not afraid that they will not take the bait, and the wave after wave of patent fees is a hammer called interests, again and again, crushing the persistence in their hearts.

On the side, Cheng Mo and Old Man Li glanced at each other, did not speak, their eyes were shocked, they are both human spirits, and they naturally understand this small patent, so that this group of people who regard technology as a treasure can come up with their own unique skills, so as to promote each other, this kind of clever plan! I admire Ogawa even more in my heart.

Walking out of the firearms bureau, Xiang Yi, who did not speak on the side, had beautiful big eyes with doubts, and said: "Xiaochuan, if you give them silver like this, then wouldn't anyone be able to earn these patent fees, then I'm afraid that the money that needs to be paid to these craftsmen will be more and more, and I'm afraid that the finance won't be able to support it at that time."

Listening to Xiangyi's words, Xiaochuan laughed, this is the limitation of people at this time, these technical benefits are not superimposed, but replaced, there are so many technologies needed, the drill bit of this drill hole, ten people have handed over their drill bits, and there is only one available drill bit, only one person's patent fee is required, and there is no need to pay all of them, and the remaining nine people who have not made money, they don't do anything? No, they will be more attentive to innovation, and can they not blush when they see the snow-white silver input of the person who makes money? Hehe, that's where the future of royalties comes in. Xiao Chuan followed Xiangyi to explain, but she didn't understand much.

Aqiu sneezed heavily ———— Xiaochuan and said strangely: "Who, has anyone said bad things about me?" ”

"Hmph, who dares to say bad things about you Qin Baihu, it's that you have a cold, so I asked you to come out and wear more" Xiang Yi said again: "Let's go, go to the shop on the street to buy some fabrics, I will make you a jacket"

What, making clothes again, Xiaochuan looked bitter, you make clothes, can you stop embroidering a mandarin duck and embroidering a flower on it, and you are going to laugh at Han Gang and a few people again, hey.

But looking at Xiangyi's serious face, forget it, let's do what she does, but the uneasy feeling in my heart still hasn't disappeared.

*******

In the northwest of Shandong, on the north bank of the canal, the red sea surrounds a city, but the whole city is empty and there is no figure in sight, it is obviously an empty city, on the high platform outside.

Yang Yufan's handsome face was full of exhaustion, and the two big black eye circles showed that his tired face was full of anger at the moment, looking at Liu Zeqing on the side and shouting angrily: "Liu Zeqing, you wait, I will make a break to the emperor and sue you for the crime of not besieging the city strictly!" , you deliberately let go of the thief, it's crazy! ”

Liu Zeqing on the side was indifferent, and there was no expression on his dark face, and said: "Yang Shuai wants to go to the fold, so let's go, this battle is not my sin, but the fault of my subordinates." He sneered in his heart, hum, if you don't let go of the thief, is it a waste of Lao Tzu's money and food here? Or is it a siege to consume precious troops?

Yang Yu was extremely angry, and shouted: "I will let my father fold it, face Your Majesty, you wait, Liu Zeqing!" With that, he turned and walked down.

On the side, his righteous son Liu Yuan came to his side and said worriedly: "His father Yang Zhaoji can speak in front of the emperor, if they join your father?" ”

"Haha, talking, can you compare to the Donglin Party behind Zhou's house?" Liu Zeqing laughed and said: "Moreover, we have already defeated the Shanxi Liukou in this battle and drove them away, this battle is a great achievement, why do you have to remember wrong?" ”
