Except for this last command, everyone understood why the other commands were nothing more than to strengthen the guard of this courtyard, so that the wicked people in the city who coveted their wealth would not find a vacancy, but what should they do in the blacksmith's shop? And you have to take a cart with you, do you want to empty the blacksmith shop?
Now that everyone has swords, guns, and weapons, they are still made of iron, and they are assisted by wooden guns, so wouldn't it be superfluous to go to the blacksmith shop to build weapons, but to build other tools, this must not be taken care of now.
After walking out of the house, I saw that the street in front of the door was empty, and I could see a few probes at the entrance of the street on both sides.
Zhu Da didn't pay attention to it, and walked towards the east of the city with people, although he was not familiar with this Huairen County, but he knew very well how the regulations in Datong City were, and it was almost the same everywhere, this blacksmith shop should be somewhere where where in the east of the city and the south of the city, and the direction led by Hu Jiao was really here.
Out of this decent area of the county, Zhu Da and the three people behind him walked on the street, it can be said that everyone looked sideways, because the four of them were carrying weapons, and Zhu Da was even more armed with a sword and a bow, the only strange thing was that there was a big car behind him, even the yamen officers in the city were not dressed like this, and the people who got up early avoided it, lest they touch the mold.
When Zhu Da turned the first intersection, he found that there were people following behind, but the ability to track was very poor, too far away, it was easy to follow, but it was easy to understand if he pondered carefully, looking at the armament of the four of them, he had to weigh his own life and death when he got closer, and it was better to stay away.
The county seat is not big, Zhu Da easily found the blacksmith shop, similar to Datong, the blacksmith shop here is not small, the business is also very prosperous, more than a dozen strong men in the shop are busy, so early in there are guests in and out.
This is not surprising, Datong is a border town military region, even if the people have a demand for armaments, they will find blacksmiths to build or buy weapons, and trade caravans come and go, etc., need to buy shoes and replacement iron parts.
There are also two tacit businesses, one is the lack of iron in the steppe Mongolian tribes, and all kinds of iron products can be sold at several times the price there, although the government strictly prohibits private exports, although these businesses are monopolized by the high gate, but this premise makes this business more profitable, since some people come to the blacksmith shop to buy and traffic, repeatedly prohibited, the other is a little ironic, the official military guard also has demand, the quality of the official weapons is high, and can not be supplied in sufficient quantities, want to have reliable weapons to kill the enemy and save their lives, You have to come to such a folk craftsman to buy, there are so many official guards in Datong, and there are more warriors who need to go into battle, and the business of the blacksmith shop is of course not bad.
Of course, ordinary people can't open such a lucrative and risky business, otherwise the officials and soldiers will be able to collapse if they don't pay for it, and the extortion of officials and officials can't withstand it, so there are generally gentry and strong shareholders behind this business, who are not afraid of risks and debts.
Zhu Da and the four of them walked into the store, if it was other shops, seeing the four heavily armed people coming in, it was inevitable to be nervous and panicked, but the blacksmiths and apprentices who were busy in the blacksmith shop, but when they looked up, someone greeted them, and the others continued to be busy as if nothing happened.
Don't be afraid of other places here, there are nearly twenty strong men in the shop, and iron weapons are available everywhere, and it's really hard to say who will suffer if you really want to do it.
"What do you want to build?" It was a blacksmith, in his thirties, tall and burly, who first glanced at the Hu Zhi who followed behind, obviously knew him, but did not say hello.
Zhu Da glanced around and said, "Iron spear head, as many as you want, you should have a ready-made one here." โ
The iron spear head is the spear head of the spear spear, which is the cheapest one of the iron weapons, the most essential cost of the iron weapon is how much iron is consumed, the spear and the like consume the least, the price is naturally the cheapest, the village self-protection, the strong guard, the most used iron weapon is this spear spear, the knife and axe are often the head or close to the person can get, in fact, more people use just wooden sticks and wooden guns.
Originally, seeing that Zhu Da was fully armed and had a few companions, the blacksmith had a serious look on his face, and when he heard the "iron spear head", he immediately relaxed, but when he heard the words "how many are needed", he became stunned.
"Little brother, this iron spear head is made of scraps, and the apprentice is not idle to create this every day, we can store more than 200 more than 200 in the shop, if you want it all, how can you get more than 20 taels of silver, and the small shop is not credited."
"I'll take it all, settle the bill in cash."
This answer made the blacksmith stunned again, and even a few people who approached looked at it, Zhu Da was not ambiguous, and motioned to the people around him to show the cash, and the three family members and Hu Jiao Shi were actually stunned, but they could still hear the order, and immediately complied.
Seeing the silver in white flowers, the blacksmith who received him regained his solemn expression, coughed and continued: "There are two kinds of iron spear heads......
"Let it be made by the people." Juda interrupted.
Hearing this, the blacksmith knew that he had met someone who knew how to do it, and the official made was to say that the spearhead and spearhead built in accordance with the weapon regulations were said to be long and short, and the quality was good, while the civilian construction was to train the equipment for the township brave regiment, which could be used, and how to save trouble and how to build the materials.
Since he knows how to do it, he still has a high roller with force and silver, so he can't be lazy, the blacksmith squeezed out some apologetic smiles, bowed down and said: "It's a miscalculation, if you want it all, fifteen taels of silver is enough, and the silver is in good condition and you can talk about it again, it's smoky here, or sit down in the back and have a cup of tea and chat." โ
Zhu Da waved his hand, stared at the other party and said: "I still have business to take care of you, you go and help me buy some wooden poles and wood, cut them to the length I want, and then sharpen the spearhead and put it on, I will first give you thirty taels of silver as a deposit, if it can be done within two hours, I will add ten taels." โ
The price of the wooden pole is very cheap, even if a spear head corresponds to a pole, fifteen taels are also very rich, the blacksmith's eyes widened after a little calculation, but then he showed a little vigilant look, and his voice became a little stiff: "This son, don't make fun of the little ones." โ
"The silver won't joke, take thirty taels first." Zhu Da commanded very arrogantly, and Pan Zhuzi immediately unwrapped his burden and handed over the silver.
The blacksmiths were more accurate in the texture and weight than ordinary people, and the blacksmith weighed it, and took a few steps back to take a closer look by the light of the iron furnace, and when the blacksmith turned his head, the expression on his face became more vigilant, and he didn't even continue to move forward, but said in a rough voice: "Our shop is a good citizen, and the royal law has never been offended." โ
Creating so many weapons, there is indeed a suspicion of gathering crowds to cause chaos, no wonder the other party would say this, Zhu Da smiled and was about to speak, but he listened to the nonsense that had been silent and said: "Lao Zhang, how do you speak, this lord lives in the mansion of the former master bookkeeper, is the owner of the Dachuan, a few days ago received the goods of the government, and it is this lord who goes out of the city to do business, our lord will do business to buy your family's things, is to take care of your business, how can you say such nonsense!" โ
These words shouted out, and many people in the shop looked here, and a young apprentice said: "Zhang Tou, it's that little brother, I went to see the excitement when I received the goods out of the city." โ
The blacksmith who received him turned his head and scolded, "There are you everywhere, you don't work properly every day", and when he turned his face, he smiled again, and said: "It turned out that Master Zhu arrived, and the little one was also suspicious, and this business trumpet was accepted, I don't know what kind of pole Master Zhu wants, and please come up with a regulation?" โ
There is such a decent house in the city, and it is a person who is famous for doing business, this is a rich and noble family with a foundation, naturally he will not do anything to make trouble, Zhu Da's purchase of official errands out of the city to sell is spread everywhere in Huairen County, Hu said that these are verified, this is regarded as a guarantee, and the blacksmith has no doubts.
Zhu Da gave the regulation, ten long poles, with official iron gun heads, and the rest are short poles, the short poles are almost one-third of the length of the long poles, and there are several simple iron parts of the regulations.
After Zhu Da finished speaking, the smile on Na Tie Zhangtou's face became stronger, and he said: "Coincidentally, the trumpet has prepared some goods, so I will arrange for someone to make it." โ
The blacksmith shouted back, and most of the busy craftsmen and apprentices had put down their work, and some went to the backyard to carry them, and it was not long before baskets of iron spears and bundles of poles were brought to the front.
When the bundles of poles were sent, all kinds of people in the blacksmith shop snickered at their looks, and the blacksmith shop made weapons, and others would certainly not only buy an iron spear head to go back, but they would definitely install a wooden pole as a handle, which was all ready-made, and as for cutting it short, it would be more profitable.
"Business can't be delayed, everyone, hurry up." There was no loss on Zhu Da's face.
All the things in the shop are all together, and they put the gun head on the wooden pole and do a lot on weekdays, and soon it will be in full swing, polishing the iron gun head, cutting the wooden pole, and then loading it up and reinforcing it, and it didn't take long for ten regulated spears to be done, and there are dozens of short spears.
"Make as much as you want to move the car." Juda said.
"Master Zhu, it's easier to move it after it's done." The blacksmith said with a smile, but Zhu Da ignored it.
It had been so busy for most of the hour, and some people looked in front of the blacksmith's shop but did not come in, but not long after some people looked around, an apprentice called the blacksmith from behind.
After a while, the blacksmith surnamed Zhang came back with a not very good face, rubbed his hands in front of Zhu Da, and said awkwardly and hesitantly: "Master Zhu, I'm afraid this business can't be done." โ
Zhu Da, who had been staring at the busy, sneered, and said with his hands behind his back: "You have received the silver, and the goods have been loaded into the car, so if you don't do it, you won't do it?" โ
