Chapter 566: Gongsun Qi
Coming out of the Lantian camp, perhaps Lin Yuyan wanted to slow down a little time to collect news for those details that Daqin had planted in Lao Qin, and in three days, he only walked nearly a hundred miles.
Three days later, he also arrived at a place called "Duyi", and Xuan Ran also told him in advance three or four hours before that he needed to stay in Duyi for a while to change some weapons for his soldiers, and Lin Yuyan naturally agreed.
Along the way, the old Qin that Lin Yuyan saw was indeed a little unexpected, the security here was very strict, and this strictness was not manifested in Lao Qin's soldiers in five steps, one card, ten steps and one post, but specifically in Lao Qin's people.
It seems that Lin Yuyan stayed in the post house in Duyi, all of which needed Xuan Ran to take out the "Fu", "Biography", "Test" and other things to prove the origin of the identity of the Lantian camp, the process was very cumbersome, Lin Yuyan thought that this move was really a bit of a drain on people's hearts, but then Yu also explained to Lin Yuyan that this was also Lao Qin's measure to restrict the flow of population.
Subsequently, Lin Yuyan knew that Duyi was the place where Lao Qin settled the people of the Three Jin Dynasty, and the land of the Three Jin Dynasty was willing to come to Lao Qin, and it also had its own foundation, and most of the Qin people who settled in Duyi from the land of the Three Jin Dynasty had the skills of casting, and Lao Qin also built a forging workshop in Duyi, which was used to forge weapons for Lao Qin's Lantian camp or the nearby levy army.
Lin Yuyan was also very interested in this Duyi's foundry, so it was also made clear to Xuan Ran, Xuan Ran thought about it, and did not hinder Lin Yuyan, Lao Qin's foundry was just a step-by-step creation of the army's standard changge and long sword, and there were no other secrets.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the foundry, I saw that there were hundreds of craftsmen inside, facing the hot iron furnace, using iron tongs and iron hammers to forge red-hot iron.
Xuan Ran, who was strong and stubborn, seemed to be very familiar with Du Yi's foundry, and bypassed two or three corridors, Lin Yuyan walked into an earthen house behind Xuan Ran, where three or four craftsmen and six or seven slaves were busy.
Xuan Ran greeted one of the craftsmen inside in an extremely skillful Qin tune: "Gongsun Qi, a certain person has come." ”
What Xuan Ran was talking about was in the innermost part of the iron furnace, the scorching flame light shone on his face, and the iron tongs in his hand were clamped out of the fiery red iron furnace The iron sword that was already forged, I saw that he was engrossed in the red-hot iron sword in his hand, and he was not distracted by Xuan Ran's shouting at all.
Lin Yuyan stood outside the house, and also noticed the figure next to the railway, his eyes were unusually clear, as if the long sword that could only be contained in his hand was forged, and nothing else was seen.
Seeing this, Xuan Ran seemed to remember something, and he didn't shout at this person again, he sat quietly next to him, and saw that the latter put the red-hot shaped iron sword into the water to quench, and then took it out to beat and sharpen, which took half an hour, and a dark and unpolished iron sword was cast.
When he put down the long sword in his hand, he noticed that there were actually six or seven more figures in his small forging earthen house, among which the figure sitting quietly in the house was also very familiar to Gongsun Qi, and it was several people in the army of the Lantian battalion, Xuan Ran!
"When did you come here?" Gongsun Qi also asked.
"It's just Fang Cai," Xuan Ran also concealed the fact that he had been waiting for half an hour, in fact, Xuan Ran also knew that as long as this close friend was casting the sword, he was indeed distracted, and it was not strange that he did not notice himself.
Gongsun Qi nodded, and then looked at Lin Yuyan and even the figures of Zong Wei Jing Yi behind him, and then frowned slightly, and asked, "Why did you bring so many people over today?" ”
Xuan Ran explained: "This is His Royal Highness Yan, the son of Southern Qin, and this time he entered Qin at the invitation of the prince. ”
"Prince?" When Gongsun Qi heard this name, he also dispersed the unhappiness in his eyes, and immediately clasped his fists and bowed to Lin Yuyan: "Qin Gongsun Qi, I have seen His Royal Highness Gongzi!" ”
Lin Yuyan waved his hand, allowing him to exempt himself from this set of vulgar etiquette, that is, in the process of forging his sword, Lin Yuyan saw that in the process of forging his sword, he was also restrained and sharp, and with a hammer and a knock, all of them fell on the edge of the hammered long sword.
The most important thing is that when this person is forging weapons, he has no distractions and is calm, this concentrated appearance is not something that anyone can have, especially when Lin Yuyan saw that in the process of forging his sword, the spark in the iron furnace built the bare skin of his left arm, and it was not affected.
After seeing the ceremony, Gongsun Qi no longer cared about Gu Lin Yuyan, pointed to the more than 100 long swords displayed on the left wall of the earthen house, and said to Xuan Ran: "One hundred and thirteen long swords were cast this month, and there were more than eighty bronze heads, but because Xianyang issued an edict to collect weapons, half of the number needed to be handed over to Xianyang, and only one-third of the support to the Lantian battalion was supported. ”
"A third?" Xuan Ran seemed to be dissatisfied with this number, and immediately spit out and said quickly: "This number is too small, there are still three hundred blades that need to be replaced by soldiers in the army, and it has been delayed for half a year, which is really a long time!" ”
"A certain ......" Gongsun nodded, "Xianyang's edict has to be ordered, it seems that there is going to be a war again, the Lantian battalion only needs to sit in Lantian, and the mobilized men and horses are naturally very few, and at least fifty percent of the weapons cast by Du Yi need to be transported to Xianyang to support the new army!" ”
"The New Army?" Xuan Ran seemed to have thought of something, and after a few breaths, he calmly accepted this fact, and said: "Since it is a new army, this action must not be small, forget it, I won't embarrass you, three hundred short of blades, and so and so I asked someone else's craftsman for transfer." ”
Gongsun nodded, but then he also said: "If you are arresting a few obedient Rong Di slaves, it is best to have one more craftsman from the Three Jin Dynasty and even Southern Qin, and next month you will be able to produce thirty percent more cast blades." ”
"The obedient Rong Di slave is easy to say, but it's just ......" Xuan Ran made a difficulty, and he also had some scruples about the Southern Qin Gongzi Yan behind him, and told him: "It's just that the craftsmen from the land of the Three Jin Dynasty are a little difficult......"
"Just do your best!" Gongsun Qi knew the difficulty of this matter, and he didn't force it, just do his best.
After greeting for a while, Xuan Ran and Gongsun Qi both knew that the burden on each other was not small, and it didn't take time, Xuan Ran sent Gongsun Qi out of Duyi's foundry, and as soon as Xuan Ran returned to the post station, he gathered people and continued to rush to Xianyang.
